It is noon, and the hot sun bakes the earth.

Yu Shenghan watched Skeleton No. 2 leave with the latest summoned skeleton. So far, he has summoned about 2,500 white bone skeletons in total. You can see that all the dead bodies in the valley ahead have disappeared.

After a rough calculation, they now have 1 skeleton warrior, 4 skeleton mages, 22 skeleton warriors, about 350 skeleton warriors, and about 5,700 skeletons. Among them, the 2,500 skeletons summoned have the potential to advance to skeleton warriors, but they should not wait for the day they advance.

Because the next battles between them and the court will be more frequent and tragic.

At the same time, in a grand house near Shannan City near Xihuang County, Chen Chengwu was listening to the report of the general below in the main hall.

This house is his temporary command center. There are about 20,000 soldiers gathered in Shannan City. The city has long been martial law and the city gates are closed, so it is strictly forbidden to enter and exit.

Although they only have 20,000 soldiers and their combat qualities are not as high as those of the imperial army, the walls of Shannan City are high and firm, making them a truly strong city, so Chen Chengwu is not worried about losing it in a short period of time.

However, due to the short preparation time, the resources of huge rocks, rolling woods and other resources to defend the city are not sufficient, and the opponent has a spiritual master to help him, so long-term guarding will be lost.

According to the Lord's order, their main task was to delay the attack rhythm of the court's army, so all resources must be used reasonably.

After the meeting ended, all the generals in the army left, Chen Chengwu suddenly spoke to the empty front and asked, "How is the situation now?"

The shadow's figure was revealed. He walked to the side and sat down, and said, "The imperial army has set up camp 10 miles away. It seems that he doesn't plan to launch an attack today."

Chen Chengwu nodded slightly when he heard this and said, "This is also expected. After all, Shannan City is not a good bone to chew."

After a moment of pause, he continued to ask, "How are you doing?"

Shadow said directly when she heard this: "Don't worry, you're ready, and do it on time late at night."

Chen Chengwu sighed slightly and said, "What a pity."

Shadow said coldly: "It's nothing, it's their honor to sacrifice their lives for the Lord."

Late at night that day, a large number of night people were hiding in the dark outside the imperial barracks, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Midnight.

It can be seen that these men in black did not gather together, but were scattered in various positions. It is obviously unreasonable to do so.

The bright moon was hanging high and the breeze was swaying. Just as midnight came, there were a few harsh sounds of insects in various directions outside the imperial barracks.

When all the men in black heard the sound of insects, they immediately approached the military camp.

Wang Da and Li Er were two secret whistles outside the military camp, and they were chatting quietly at this time.

Wang Da: "You think the cult in Nanyang County is really that powerful?"

Li Er: "That's all right. You didn't hear the general say that we sent 50,000 troops. I heard that other places have also sent troops."

Wang Da: "The city will be siege tomorrow. Are you afraid?"

Li Er: "Nonsense, aren't you afraid?"

When Wang Da was about to say something, Li Er quickly covered his mouth and pointed to the patrol team coming from a distance.

The next secret whistle became quiet. If the patrol team found them chatting, then the report would be a military stick.

Before the patrol team could approach, Wang Da and Li Er saw a black shadow quickly passing through the members of the patrol team, and then disappeared. Then the members of the patrol team fell to the ground with a "bang bang bang".

Wang Da and Li Er looked at each other and immediately saw fear in each other's eyes. After all, they were just unfamiliar warriors who practiced some martial arts in the military. The black shadow just now was obviously a high-level warrior, so they could kill them before the patrol team could react.

Even though the two of them were afraid, they still climbed out of the hole and touched it quietly. However, before they got closer, a faint smell of rottenness came into their nostrils.

The two of them didn't care at first, only thought it was the smell of rotting corpses after the death of small animals nearby. However, when they approached, they were immediately startled to see the corpses of the patrol team.

I saw that the patrol members who had just died had a little decay on their bodies, which was unreasonable.

Then the two found that the bodies of these people were still rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye, and time seemed to be passing by faster than them.

Wang Da and Li Er endured the discomfort, checked the military cards of these people, and immediately returned to the military camp to report after confirming that they were theirs.

None of them noticed that when checking the military cards, their hands touched the skin of the corpses.

After a stick of incense, Wang Da and Li Er came to their superiors and then gave a detailed report on what had just happened, but they found that their superiors did not seem to be surprised.

When they finished reporting, the commander just asked them to go down and rest and stopped saying anything.

After the two returned to the camp, they were about to go to bed, but the itch began to feel everywhere on their bodies from time to time, and it became stronger and stronger.

In the middle of the military camp, in a tent, Song Renjie sat in the first place with a serious face, listening to the reports of the generals below.

After they finished speaking, Song Renjie said, "According to what you said, the patrol teams outside our military camp were basically attacked."

The generals below responded one after another: "That's right, general."

Song Renjie asked again: "What's wrong with the abnormal rotten corpse you mentioned?"

One person below stood up and said, "Our people found that the members of the patrol would rot quickly shortly after their death. This is not normal, and the doctors can't check any problems for the time being."

Song Renjie thought for a while, couldn't think of the reason, and then asked again: "Deputy General Chen, how are the two prisoners you caught before?"

Chen Ping replied after hearing this: "These two are dead."

Song Renjie asked, "What's going on?"

Chen Ping said helplessly: "When we caught them, they were already dying. According to the doctor's examination, they found that there were many pustules on them. Therefore, they suspected that they had been infected with serious illness and their lives were not long ago."

At this moment, a general hurriedly broke into the camp and, without waiting for the others to speak, immediately said, "General, those men in black have appeared."

Song Renjie asked after hearing this, "How is the situation?"

The visitor replied: "Thank you for a long time, the situation has been controlled."

Song Renjie laughed and said, "Very good."

After hearing the news of the first patrol attack, Song Renjie immediately ordered all subordinates to loosen the outside and tighten the inside to prevent possible attacks.

If you actively search for the enemy traces hidden in the dark, it will not only make the entire military camp panic, but it will not necessarily lead to the capture of these masters. Instead, the best way is to use static and control.

At the same time, the shadow stood quietly on the treetops, looking at the brightly lit and slightly noisy imperial barracks from afar, and murmured to himself: "I hope you can withstand the 'rot curse' and don't let me down."
