Necromancer, summon skeletons, practice the Heaven-Swallowing Magic Skill

As the magicians on the city wall released the first wave of magic attacks, colorful lights bloomed in the air like gorgeous fireworks, bringing an initial impact to the goblin army.

Lu Ming stared straight ahead, his eyes sharp and focused, as if he could penetrate the chaotic battlefield.

He turned around and said to Selina beside him: "It seems that our magic attack has played a certain role, but there are too many goblins."

"Yes, Lu Ming." Selina responded, her voice calm and firm, "However, their magicians have already begun to cast defensive spells, so we must be careful."

On the battlefield, fireballs, ice, and lightning intertwined into a gorgeous scene that was dazzling.

Although these magical attacks did not directly cause a large number of casualties due to the long distance, they were undoubtedly the first test of the goblins' psychological defenses.

However, the mages in the goblin camp did not sit idly by.

They responded quickly, chanting mysterious incantations and releasing a series of defensive spells, forming layer upon layer of magic shields.

"Humph, these little tricks!" The commander on the city wall shouted loudly, his voice full of majesty and confidence, "Magicians, prepare for the second round of attack!"

His eyes were firm and decisive, and he seemed ready to face greater challenges.

Witnessing the fall of their companions, the surviving goblins' eyes burned with even more intense anger, and their actions became even more rapid.

"Kill!" The goblin leader let out a deafening roar, as if he was going to rush towards the human defense line at a faster speed.

Just when the magicians needed a short time to recover their mental strength after casting spells continuously, the defenders on the city wall took decisive action, and rows of archers took over the task of attacking.

"Crossbowmen, get ready!" a captain shouted, "Aim at the goblin magician and eliminate the threat first!"

The bows and arrows in their hands sparkled with magical light, and each arrow contained powerful power. Once it hit the target, it would explode among the goblins, causing area damage.

"Attention, the Goblin magician has started to fight back!" someone warned, "Everyone stay alert, shield bearers ready!"

However, the goblin magicians also showed their wisdom and strength. They predicted in advance and released magic of different attributes, trying to intercept these deadly arrows in mid-air. The spells of both sides collided in the air, causing one explosion after another, and the sky was filled with magical sparks and smoke.

"Quick, shieldmen, defend!" the commander's voice sounded again.

At the same time, a group of specially trained goblin warriors, armed with spears, launched long-range attacks on the magicians on the city wall.

"Be careful with the spears!" Selina warned hastily, "Magicians, try to dodge!"

Faced with this sudden change, the commander on the city wall quickly gave instructions, and the defenders put down their bows and crossbows, raised their enchanted shields, and built a solid line of defense.

"The magic on the shield has been activated," someone explained, "Everyone concentrate and hold your ground!"

After the magic on the shield was activated, it formed a protective light curtain, successfully blocking most of the spears. However, the vast city wall inevitably had loopholes, and a few magicians were injured as a result, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense.

"Healer, hurry!" someone shouted, "Heal the wounded, we can't lose any comrades!"

At this critical moment, magicians with light and plant attributes stepped forward. They performed healing spells to heal the wounded and stabilize the morale of the troops.

Some goblin spears also fell in the area where Lu Ming and Selina were.

In a hurry, Selina released an advanced defensive magic undead shield to protect the two of them, thus saving them from disaster.

Some other high-level magicians also took action and cast defensive magic to help resist.

"We will defend this city," the commander said firmly, "no matter what the cost."

"Notify all defenders that we must work more closely together to overcome this crisis."

……

Lu Ming witnessed all this and thought to himself that the goblins’ siege was not just based on brute force, their tactics and coordination were also not to be underestimated.

What was originally thought to be a simple defensive battle now seems to be a test of wisdom and courage.

Lu Ming took a deep breath and looked forward with a determined gaze.

He knew that the real battle had just begun.

……

After a round of spear attacks, the defenders on the city wall fell into a brief chaos, and the goblin army took advantage of the situation to approach. However, under the commander's calm and courageous leadership, the situation was quickly brought under control.

"Medical team, treat the wounded immediately!" The commander's loud voice penetrated the noise and boosted morale. "Magicians, prepare for the second round of counterattack!"

The wounded received timely treatment, and everyone quickly adjusted their formation and launched a counterattack.

This time, their cooperation was even better than before.

Lu Ming said to his teammates: "Although the goblins' attack is fierce, we cannot be intimidated. Remember, every spell must be accurate and effective, and don't waste magic power."

The second counterattack began, and the fire magicians were the first to bear the brunt. They released a series of attacks such as fireball and fire dragon, turning the battlefield into a sea of ​​fire. The sky and the earth were covered by blazing flames.

The goblin magicians were extremely anxious and hastily cast defensive magic to resist.

However, since their numbers were far less than those of human magicians, and their mental strength was exhausted due to continuous spellcasting, their defense seemed to be stretched.

Lu Ming observed the battlefield situation and said to Selina: "It seems that the goblin's magic defense line is beginning to collapse. We must seize this opportunity and increase the intensity of the attack!"

In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred goblin warriors were engulfed in the sea of ​​fire. The defenders on the city wall cheered and their morale was boosted!

The commander struck while the iron was hot and shouted in encouragement: "Reinforcements are on the way! We have already asked for help from nearby towns. As long as we hold on, reinforcements will arrive via the teleportation array!"

Hearing this, everyone felt a warm current in their hearts, their morale was high again, and their fighting will was even stronger. Selina turned to Lu Ming and said, "Did you hear that? The reinforcements are coming, we must hold on!"

After the fire magic attack, the water mages took over the baton. Offensive spells such as water ball and water arrow poured down like heavy rain, bombarding the goblin army mercilessly.

The goblin magicians had exhausted their magic and mental strength and could no longer build an effective defense. Another group of goblin warriors fell.

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of impending victory, an alarm suddenly sounded in the city.

A group of goblins sneaked into the city using the underground passage and destroyed the magic teleportation array, completely cutting off support from the outside world.

Lu Ming and Selina's faces changed drastically.

Everyone suddenly realized that the goblin army outside the city was just a diversion to attract their attention.

The real purpose is to launch a surprise attack on the city, destroy the teleportation array, and prevent the arrival of reinforcements.

Now I realize it’s too late!

Most of the city’s military forces were concentrated at the north gate.

Moreover, the magic teleportation array had been destroyed, and it was too late to stop it.

Suddenly everyone panicked.

"Everyone, don't panic!" The commander's voice sounded particularly firm in the noisy battlefield. "Although the teleportation array has been destroyed, we have not suffered any casualties so far. As long as we hold on, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy."

Faced with this sudden change, he quickly organized the remaining forces, consolidating the defense line while urgently formulating a response strategy.

"Knights, it's time for you to show your skills!" he said loudly. "The Goblins that have sneaked into the city are just a small group. They are nothing to be afraid of. You should quickly eliminate them and then come back to join us. The magicians should continue to attack on the city wall to delay the army outside. The city guards should send some people to patrol the city to prevent any other accidents."

Under the command of the commander, the situation was immediately brought under control and everything was remedied in an orderly manner.

As necromancers, Lu Ming and Selina were looked down upon by the person in charge of defending the city, who believed that they were not strong enough to fight, so they were assigned to clear out the goblins in the city together with the knights.

Lu Ming did not have much objection to this arrangement. Instead, he felt somewhat relieved.

"At least this way we can avoid the frontal battlefield and reduce unnecessary risks." He said to Selina privately.

Because judging from the current situation, the goblins are clearly well prepared for this siege, and who knows what other tricks they have up their sleeves.

Maybe there is a great magician hiding in the dark.

If that were the case, the city would be easily breached without reinforcements.

It is actually safer to leave the city wall now. If anything goes wrong, Lu Ming and Selina can escape from other places.

However, Selina is different.

As a teacher at the magic academy, she felt embarrassed and a little angry to be looked down upon.

"Our necromancers are not weak in combat. Why do you look down on us?"

She knew very well that now was not the time to argue. For the sake of the overall situation, she swallowed her anger and obeyed the arrangement.

However, the knights disdain to associate with the Necromancer, believing that the Necromancer, like the Dark Mage, is a symbol of evil and is not worthy of fighting against the enemy together with them.

In the end, Lu Ming and Selina decided to act alone to clear out the goblin warriors who had infiltrated the city.

They walked through the narrow streets, using the necromancer's unique perception ability to track the goblin's breath.

"Lu Ming, are you ready?" Selina asked softly.

"Of course, teacher!" Lu Ming replied, "We will prove to them that a necromancer can also be a hero on the battlefield."

The two quietly approached a group of goblins that were destroying city facilities. Lu Ming waved the staff in his hand, a faint green light flashed, and several goblins fell down.

Selina followed closely behind, her magic like the god of death's scythe, reaping the lives of the goblins.

With tacit cooperation, some of the goblin team members who sneaked into the city were killed by them.

After clearing out some members of the Goblin Squad, just as Lu Ming and Selina were preparing to continue their mission, a sudden incident broke the original peace.

The goblin army in the north, which had been barely held back by the magicians on the city wall, suddenly saw new enemies appear in two other directions of the city.

Two huge goblin armies, each with six to seven hundred people, silently surrounded the entire city, forming an impenetrable network.

"We've fallen into a trap!" Everyone's faces turned pale and their hearts were filled with despair.

The goblins' siege plan was far more detailed than they had expected.

They first used a team to attract firepower and consume the strength of the defenders and adventurers; then, they used sneak attacks to destroy the teleportation array and cut off external assistance; finally, they launched attacks from three directions at the same time, putting the city into a desperate situation.

It is obvious that the goblin tribe in the Warcraft Forest has come out in full force this time, and there must be a powerful magician among them who has not yet appeared.

The people who were originally full of confidence have now completely lost their fighting spirit.

Even the commander's face showed deep despair.

The defenders and adventurers were in chaos, and everyone was thinking about how to break out and escape from this doomed disaster.

If they don't act quickly, when the goblin army pours into the city, they will be faced with a catastrophic disaster.

Lu Ming stood in the chaotic crowd. Although he didn't know what exactly happened, he was keenly aware of the crisis.

He quickly summoned the skeleton and said to Selina: "Something is wrong. We must find a way out as soon as possible."

Selina felt extremely heavy-hearted. She looked at Lu Ming with regret and said, "I'm sorry, Lu Ming. If I hadn't taken you back to defend the city, you might not be in danger now."

"Teacher, don't say that."

"I did all this voluntarily. It has nothing to do with you."

"Besides, no one expected the goblins to attack the city so carefully this time. I don't blame you."

"The most important thing right now is to figure out how to leave alive."

Lu Ming comforted Selina, and then his mind started working frantically, focusing all his energy on trying to find a way to escape.

A flash of inspiration came to him and he came up with a bold plan.

He pulled Selina and quickly found the underground passage through which the goblins sneaked into the city.

While everyone else's attention was drawn to the external threats, they quietly sneaked into the passage.

This passage was originally dug by the goblins for sneak attacks, but now it has become the only hope for Lu Ming and Selina to escape from danger.

The passage was dark and damp, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of mold, but for them, it was a tunnel of hope leading to life.

They moved forward cautiously, trying to avoid making any noise that might alert potential enemies.

At the end of the passage is a vast wilderness outside the city, which is their best choice for escape.

Finally, they saw the glimmer of light of the exit.

Lu Ming gently pushed open the cover of the passage, and several goblins rushed towards them.

These goblins are all mid-level magical beasts and are nothing to be afraid of.

Lu Ming immediately controlled the skeleton to rush out, attracting the goblin's attention.

Then he and Selina quickly climbed out, cast magic, and easily defeated the enemy.

Since then, the two have escaped from the besieged city.

Lu Ming and Selina smiled at each other, feeling lucky that they were able to escape from the desperate situation.

"Thank you, Lu Ming." Selina said gratefully, "If it weren't for you, I might have already..."

"Don't say that," Lu Ming interrupted her. "You are my teacher. Isn't it normal for us to help each other? The most important thing now is to find a safe place and wait for rescue or find an opportunity to fight back."

"Uh-huh!"

Without thinking too much, they immediately left the passage and ran away.
