Chapter 218: Chapter 145 [Skeleton Master] The Terrifying Earthlings (Begging for Monthly Tickets!) (6.2k Bundled)

Regarding the information about the Imperial Skeleton Corps, Fang Ming searched the game forum but found very little.

It seems that no player has encountered them directly.

This further piqued the interest of Fang Ming and the livestream viewers on Blue Star.

This unit seems frightening not just in name.

But also extraordinarily mysterious, right?

Now, it’s time to get serious.

Fang Ming found a website and subscribed as a member.

Then he used the site’s photon supercomputer to search the entire internet for game plots, and half an hour later, he found a few videos mentioning the Imperial Skeleton Corps based on the game’s storyline videos from across the web.

Watching those videos.

Fang Ming clicked on the first one, seeing through a player’s perspective inside a battlefield hospital.

It’s called a battlefield hospital, but it’s really just a military camp built with makeshift tents, where wounded soldiers are lying everywhere, and the player’s perspective is focusing on a soldier from the Soviet Union.

This Soviet soldier’s arm was blown apart, covered in blood and filth, with a terrified expression resisting everything around him.

He kept muttering ’Devil’ ’They’re coming!’.

As he spoke, his expression suddenly became agitated, shouting:

"No!"

"They’re here! Those devils!!!"

"I heard the sound of tanks!"

"Run! Run!!!"

The man’s terrified screams triggered a chain reaction, causing many soldiers around him to scream as well, leading to a commotion.

The player who was a doctor and the NPCs were busy for a while before finally calming everyone down. Then he explained during his free time:

"These wounded soldiers all survived an encounter with the Imperial Skeleton Corps on the front lines."

"All of them have PTSD now."

"I don’t know what kind of battle they went through; everyone has become mentally disturbed."

"Could it be that the Imperial Skeleton Corps have magic attacks?"

"Probably not, right?"

This player seemed not to be a streamer, and his commentary was just for the video, so the footage ended quickly.

But even this piece of storyline left Fang Ming and the livestream audience from Blue Star feeling bewildered.

PTSD?

What kind of battle could cause such a condition?

Even more terrifying than the Leningrad side?

Because of the brutal nature of the Battle of Moscow and the Battle of Stalingrad, soldiers didn’t survive long enough there to develop it.

Whereas Leningrad was a prolonged torment.

But even so.

Duan Yu over there is still fine, and some NPCs from the army don’t show stress reactions.

Yet in this storyline, it seems to be just one battle.

It turned out like this... a bit scary.

Humans often fear the unknown.

Fang Ming clicked open the next video.

The video appeared to show a streamer explaining the battle situation in his Immersive Plot mode to the livestream audience.

In the footage.

The streamer was at the rear of a large force, and this Soviet Union force was massive, advancing in a certain direction, and the streamer explained:

"Currently, we are in the Demiansk area."

"Our Federation has approximately several hundred thousand troops, and we’ve trapped about ten thousand Imperial soldiers in the Demiansk area."

"As long as we can annihilate this Imperial unit."

"The Federation’s morale will definitely boost significantly, but I’ve heard there’s a Skeleton Corps on the other side, causing a lot of Soviet soldiers to be somewhat fearful?"

"Not quite sure."

"Anyway, whenever the Imperial forces are mentioned, Soviet Union soldiers tend to be very cautious."

"I guess it’s the Imperial’s elite troops, right?"

"So it might be a bit more challenging."

Hearing the streamer’s commentary in the video.

At this time, including Fang Ming, the viewers from Blue Star in the livestream were a bit puzzled.

Something feels off?

They’ve never heard of a victory in any Demiansk area battle.

Annihilating over ten thousand Imperial soldiers.

There shouldn’t be zero news about that; it should count as a significant win, right?

Skeleton Corps?

Elite troops?

Ten thousand soldiers breaking through an encirclement of hundreds of thousands?

Everyone continued watching the video.

As the troops advanced, a battle suddenly erupted.

Boom——!

Boom——!

The advancing Soviet Union troops were suddenly subjected to intense tank artillery fire.

The forces at the front suddenly responded to the chaos clumsily.

Meanwhile, the streamer in the video, at the rear, tried to look towards the front but before he could clearly see the battle situation, he was taken out by a shell.

Even though the battle situation remained unclear.

One could sense the opposing armored troops were exceptionally elite.

The battle was neat and efficient.

But these also didn’t yield much analysis; Fang Ming then watched a few other videos and found that whenever the Soviet wounded mentioned the Skeleton Corps, they somewhat showed symptoms of PTSD.

But based on that one battle scene in the video, it shouldn’t be that bad, right?

Fang Ming and the livestream viewers analyzed this for quite some time but couldn’t figure anything out.

However, the matter did make it onto the trending searches.

Many people searched for the Imperial Skeleton Corps, while also taking note of that battle in the Demiansk area.

Due to the lack of people who participated in that plot.

The battle was scarcely known.

But as more information was unraveled, Blue Star’s netizens finally noticed this battle, and through information gathering, they learned the full picture of the battle.

Thousands of the Skeleton Corps, leading 120,000 ordinary Imperial soldiers.

During the Soviet Union’s months-long encirclement, successfully broke through the Soviet Union forces’ defense lines and led more than ten thousand people out of the encirclement.

The Soviet Union’s casualties were several times those of the Skeleton Corps.

No wonder there wasn’t any word about it in other regions; really... it’s so humiliating.
