By the time Darkan, the lich, realized what was happening, the second round of luring the enemy in was already well underway.
"Hmm, not bad. A simple ploy to lure them in and wiped out 50,000 skeletons. Their intelligence is truly touching. Now, when I deal with them, I feel like I'm bullying little kids." Lin Yang said confidently, listening to Queen Xi's report.
"This is all thanks to the talismans. Without them, how could we have achieved such great results?" Queen hope said excitedly.
“Right now, Darkan only has 50,000 skeletons, while we have 17,000 troops here, which is enough for a battle.”
"As long as there are enough talismans, these skeletons are utterly vulnerable!"

Chapter Twenty-Six: Betraying Teammates
In an unnamed corner of the Silvermoon Forest, a place that should have been a harmonious natural haven of lush mountains, clear waters, and abundant wildlife, an atmosphere of death and destruction pervaded the air.
One after another, dark orbs of power reaching the third tier erupted outwards as if they were not consuming any mana.
Each of the dark orbs, once fully unleashed, is enough to completely extinguish all life within a radius of several dozen feet.
However, it was useless, utterly useless. The moment the Dark Sphere appeared, it was met with hundreds of processed arrows.
At first, Darkan was quite dismissive. There were spells that could counter the Scourge, but their numbers were limited. Playing like this from the start wouldn't last long; at best, it would only allow them to defend for a while longer.
But now, Darkan only felt a headache. Darkan knew that the elves were rich, incredibly rich.
The "scissors difference" refers to the practice of deliberately leaking well-made magical items into the seven human kingdoms every so often to harvest gold, silver, materials, and wealth.
Anyway, even if those humans figured it out, they couldn't do anything about it in order to advance magic and improve their strength.
The problem is, even if you have the money, there's no reason why you could buy so many magic scrolls that target the undead all at once.
An ordinary talisman can only damage the lowest level of skeleton.
Ten ordinary light talismans, when used together, are enough to instantly inflict a fatal blow on elite skeletons whose strength has reached the second tier.
So, what about one hundred?
After all, for the wandering knights, drawing a bow and shooting an arrow is like an instinct, as simple as eating and drinking, and there is absolutely no difficulty in it.
(If it were a human, even a naturally powerful expert, with the boost of internal energy, could only design a hundred or so times in a short period of time before needing to rest for two or three days.)
At this very moment, in just a quarter of an hour, 20% of the abundant magic power within Darkan's body had been depleted. He never imagined that the ranger he had previously looked down upon could have such an effect when combined with the lowest-level magic scroll!
In the past, dealing with these wandering knights was easy. A single period of darkness was enough to shatter their once-ordered formation.
Suddenly, the once-disciplined guerrillas, who had been a regular army firing in three volleys, were reduced to a disorganized mob, firing one shot at a time. On the battlefield, this change was fatal. A concrete example is the fate of infantry disorganized encountering cavalry.
But now, well, that's just laughable.
Then, after looking up and carefully observing the surrounding situation, Darkan suddenly realized a very serious problem.
That is, at this moment, the Scourge is actually in a state of continuous retreat. The skeletons are disappearing in large numbers.
Many ordinary necromancers were being brutally beaten to death by the opposing rangers and elven mages!
Meanwhile, Arubazak and his three thousand Spider-Men, whom he had placed high hopes on, were in an even more miserable state.
They were ambushed right from the start, and before they could even launch a sneak attack, they were caught in a counter-ambush. A thousand elven mages cast a spell simultaneously, and a simple earthquake spell produced an effect as powerful as an earthquake.
The entire earth cracked open, and more than half of the three thousand Spider-Men, known for their ability to burrow underground, died instantly.
Those who survived were all severely injured and continued to be focused down by the mages. Even now, the allied legendary lord, who looked just like a cockroach, was being overwhelmed by three legendary powerhouses.
"It's time to run for your lives!"
With that thought in mind, Darkan actually started running. However, before starting, he needed to do a few things to make the run easier.
"My lord, please hold on here for a moment, I'll be right back." With that, Darkan's figure vanished without a trace, accompanied by a plume of black smoke.
Seeing this, Lin Yang chuckled and said, "Haha, this is the legendary betrayal of teammates. But I like it!" With that, he added more strength to his charge and charged straight at Xiao Qiang.
At this moment, Lin Yang was wearing armor and holding a large iron hammer. The surface of the hammer occasionally flashed with lightning-like light.
Just from the cave lord's fearful expression and its pitted and uneven skin, one could tell how deadly this thing was.
"Dalkan, don't even think about escaping!"
"Sister, wait for me!"
With that, the two chivalrous generals, also known as the legendary Little Black and Little White sisters, set off together.
Blackie is in front, Whiteie is behind. You shoot an arrow, I shoot an arrow, and I must say, they coordinate quite well.
At least, Darkan, a mid-stage legendary expert, didn't dare to retaliate at all. He didn't even dare to turn his head!
Even without transforming into an undead, while still alive, he was no match for Sylvanas. Moreover, Sylvanas's sister, Vereesa, was now a legendary powerhouse.
Oh, right, those two sisters also have an older sister named Aurelia, who seems to be a legendary powerhouse as well.
Three legendary powerhouses, and sisters at that—if they joined forces, even the Death Knight Arthas might not be a match for them!
Therefore, after carefully considering the specific situation, Darkan silently fled for his life. No matter how much Queen Hitler provoked him or talked him into submission, he pretended not to hear it.
As for his former ally, the legendary Crypt Lord Anubazak, all that can be done is wish him good luck. After all, as long as one believes in the Lich King, even if one dies, one can be resurrected, right? At worst, one can simply apologize properly after his resurrection.
However, just as Darkan was focused on escaping, his teammate Xiao Qiang—no, according to what you're reading, *The Three Kingdoms: The Myriad Realms*—was involved in farming and cross-realm warfare!
