Chapter 652: Change of Strategy
These undead soldiers can also be regarded as part of their combat effectiveness.
From here, you can also feel the evil of this kind of magic that breaks the boundary between life and death, no matter how true, good, and beautiful they hide.
In essence, it is still a method of plundering, plundering the soul power of others for its own use.
Once the soul power is robbed, those souls will naturally cease to exist.
It's just that the Odin orcs are different from the Byron Alliance, there is no Holy Aether Holy See here, and the propaganda that has been the same for hundreds of years, whether it is the concept of good or evil, or the importance of the soul, is not so strong.
Compared to those corpses that have been cold for an unknown amount of time, they care more about their life and death.
The military strength of this emerging country of the dead has also seen the outline, every low-level undead is a low-level commander, and the military strength is naturally composed of the undead soldiers he has resurrected.
Therefore, their strength is not very easy to evaluate.
Those who have just been transformed into immortals, unless they are in a high position like Prince Zhana and Prince Chagan in their lifetimes, and have a group of followers of the living, are alone, and everything depends on their own efforts.
It is not uncommon for some low-level undead who have been transformed relatively early to have thousands of undead soldiers.
In the Barsing steppe, the last thing that is missing now is corpses.
Every relatively intact corpse is an undead soldier.
The entire prairie is full of these low-level undead busy figures, busy looking for corpses that can be transformed into undead soldiers.
The moment they transformed into immortals, their worldview and outlook on life had already undergone earth-shaking changes.
For they have abandoned what the living need most—eating, drinking, and sleeping.
They only need one thing now, the fire of the soul.
The undead are not immortal in the true sense of the word, they just don't age and die like normal people, but once the fire of their soul is extinguished, it is the goddess of the night Hel who comes in person, and there is no way to save them.
What awaits them will be true nothingness, the price they must pay to break the cycle of life and death.
There is only one thing they need to do in the future, and that is to keep strengthening their soul fire.
Of course, worldly wealth is not meaningless to them.
It was really useless for them undead, but it was still full of temptation for those who were alive.
If there are enough people, even if it is to collect the corpses, there will be countless people who will actively help them find and even bring them back, they only need to sit at home and transform.
With those low-level undead who run all over the world, efficiency is not a concept at all.
The undead army under the leadership of Naren Toya is growing and growing in a snowballing way,
In just a few months, they had amassed an army of 100,000 immortals, and the number was increasing every day.
The Eternal Night Commander should be the first to notice the abnormal situation in the Barsing steppe.
If the Eternal Night Warlord wants to launch an offensive against the East Odin Empire through medical means, he must develop the corresponding special medicine before it can be completed, and pathogens are indispensable to develop special drugs.
That's why they've put a lot of special fighters here.
These carefully selected special warriors all have the strength of knights and above.
According to the research of the Eternal Night Commander, the resistance of people above the knight level to various diseases has been greatly improved.
In addition, they have undergone medical training, as well as various epidemic prevention equipment equipped by the Eternal Night Commander, and are accompanied by senior doctors from the medical research base.
They are only under the same conditions, and the chance of being infected by the plague is lower than that of ordinary people, and they are not immune to the plague.
In the beginning, their main task was to collect, the symptoms of the epidemic, and to assess the damage caused by the epidemic to the Odin orcs, and by the way, bring some pathogens back, prescribe the right medicine, develop the corresponding antibodies, and use them to make specific drugs, and even directly study antibodies.
Only in this way can the army led by the Eternal Night march into the Barsing steppe on a large scale and pick peaches from it.
Where did I think that the script did not develop in the direction they envisioned.
The tribe led by Naren Toya, who had fled to the poles, became an undead race, annexed the remnants of the East Odin Empire, and expanded at a frantic rate.
The Eternal Night Commander, who had been poisoned by the god of death in the Danube Plain, naturally attached great importance to it from top to bottom.
Not only did he send a large number of sentinels here, but Sean even sent his own ace reconnaissance units, the Thunder Golden Eagle and the Shadow Soul Eater Leopard, all in this direction.
Most of the top-level news of the undead comes from these two ace scouting units.
It is indeed a bit difficult for ordinary sentinels to approach these undead, even the shadow thieves and phantom assassins with matching combat skills.
No matter how the skill changes, it is still the use of magic energy to deceive sight and perception, so as to achieve the purpose of stealth.
Against ordinary people, this kind of combat skill is really invincible, as long as the Eternal Night Army Leader thinks that their Eagle Eye can investigate what kind of underwear someone is wearing that day.
But for the undead, it is obviously not useful, their vision is very different from that of ordinary people, and the soul beast body controlled by Sean belongs to a soul perspective, especially sensitive to those big living people, their vigorous vitality is as obvious as a torch in the night.
At this point, the Shadow Soul Eater Leopard of the Soul Beast Body was clearly more advantageous.
After nearly half a month of covert tracking and testing, Sean discovered that these undead had the same thing as the mages of the Eternal Night Army.
They all fuse soul and magic energy in a way that gives ordinary people the ability to cast spells.
The only difference is that these undead are more thorough than the mage profession of the Eternal Night Lord, who have abandoned their bodies and focused only on their souls.
The benefits of this are obvious.
For them, the body becomes a container that can be replaced and discarded at will, allowing them to focus more on the growth of their souls, and even to strengthen themselves by devouring the souls of others.
The soul blending that Sean was very taboo didn't seem to have such a big impact on them.
I don't know if it's because they devoured the remnants of the souls of the dead, and there weren't too many soul memories in them.
It is not known if it is their soul fire, which itself has the ability to purify those remnant souls and turn them into pure soul powers.
No one knew whether there was a close connection between these undead, and Sean did not rashly catch an undead person and come back to study.
Once they get their attention, it would be bad to wield an army of the undead to attack the Eternal Night Lord.
It is not a wise choice to clash with these unconventional enemies without having a thorough understanding of them.
Faced with this sudden situation, the Eternal Night Commander had to convene an emergency meeting.
"Isn't it just a pile of bones? What's there to be afraid of? As long as our cannons are erected, we can blow them up as many as we come, and we can kill the god of death in the Danube Plains, and now we can slaughter the goddess of night and winter, Hel.
If you want me to say, we don't need to waste time here at all, just send an elite to rush in and shoot them to death while they are at their weakest, otherwise according to the news brought back by the lord, it won't take a few years for them to have the ability to sweep the world, and now the most important thing Balsing lacks is corpses, and it is not difficult to give them time to develop and gather a million immortal army. ”
As always, he is so brainless, it must be Marshal McGee, he is a standard advocate of violence, what is the problem, the first thing that comes to mind is to rush up and hammer a punch and say, if one punch can't solve it, then come with two punches, three punches, as long as they are hammered down and hammered to death, the problem will be solved.
"This is the reason, but the thing is not, both seem to be undead spirits formed by manipulating dead bodies, but there is a huge difference in them.
First of all, let's analyze the advantages and disadvantages of their approach, the god of death who was slaughtered by us, looks very smart, but in fact he is stupid to death, completely out of a bunch, no thought puppet, even if he has the characteristics of immortality, but it is very easy to be played around, and the most important thing is that he himself must be limited by the skull, and he needs to use foreign objects to gather the energy of death spells, so as to give us the opportunity to bombard.
This goddess of night and winter is different, she has not created a group of monsters without thinking, but a new race, a new race that can continue to grow on the basis of human beings, as long as there are people who are afraid of death, they will have a steady stream of believers and population, and the last thing that is lacking in the savannah is death and corpses.
The second is that there is also a huge difference between the undead soldiers between the two.
The skeleton warriors under the control of the god of death, their bodies have been soaked in death magic energy, this power is extremely domineering, will kill all life, including those insects, flies and germs, as long as their bodies are humanely destroyed, they are basically almost dead.
The undead soldiers who resurrected the undead were different, they controlled them through the way of soul fire, and the flesh was just a container and tool.
There is nothing to say about the rotten skeletons that are only skeletons, compared to the skeleton soldiers of the god of death, they are a group of patchwork skeletons of bones, vulnerable cannon fodder.
The more troublesome are the undead soldiers who are in a state of decay, and everywhere they pass, they are surrounded by insects and flies, and what is the most terrifying thing about fighting them, I don't need to say more, right?
Even if we win on the battlefield, the disease they carry will cause us heavy casualties if it breaks out among our soldiers.
I didn't know that now is when they are at their weakest.
But it takes time to solve the epidemic problem, and if we don't solve this problem, I'm afraid that our army will not have a chance to open in front of the opponent's main force at all, and most of it will be lost in the middle of the road.
It's the Balsin steppe, not the Danube plain, and it's not under our control, and once you enter it, you'll be under siege.
In addition to this, there is a central issue, the hiding place of the goddess of night and winter.
She is the root cause of the change in the Balsin steppe this time, Naren Toya is just a puppet, if we don't pull out this goddess and kill it, the bane will not be uprooted, even if we kill Naren Toya, she can create a second one.
But at present, our understanding of her is too limited, and so far, the information we have is hearsay, only that we know that she will appear with a formless will at the high-level immortal transformation ceremony presided over by Naren Toya, and nothing else.
That kind of high-level undead transformation ritual, I didn't have a chance to get close to it at all, and the strength of that undead queen Naren Toya was completely beyond the normal range. ”
Speaking of Naren Toya, Sean couldn't help but think of a huge female figure, composed entirely of a blue soul flame.
This is the image from the perspective of Naren Toya's soul.
Neither the Thunder Golden Eagle nor the Shadow Soul Eater Leopard had ever come close to the kilometer of Lianna Rentoya.
Freed from the confines of her body, Narentoya's soul swelled to a terrifying level.
If it was under the Northern Fortress Mage Tower, Sean might still have the confidence to be with her, but a soul clone could only retreat.
"Your Excellency, Your Lord's analysis, has been very comprehensive. Kelman's chief of staff nodded approvingly, "I also need to add that our artillery is powerful, but the requirements for road conditions are relatively high, if the artillery regiment enters the grassland to fight, especially in some desert areas, it is like falling into a swamp, the movement speed is very slow, unless you find the opponent's must-hold point, otherwise you can only run behind their army's buttocks, when fighting, you must fully take this into account, otherwise it is easy for our army to fall into passivity." ”
Marshal McGee smacked his mouth and said, "Listen to what you mean, are you going to let them grow and grow without moving? Isn't our battle plan for Balsing going to ruin? What about the Kentana brothers who are gathering together? We promised them a bigger prairie in the first place." ”
"Although we Kenthans are a little stupid, we are not unreasonable, everything that Lord Zuling has done to us is obvious to all, as long as we tell us bluntly, I believe that the people can understand, and we will do our best to help when the time comes. Chief Prey spoke.
During this time, Chief Prei and Chief Yar led the core personnel of the two major tribes to practice ancestral spirit combat skills in the northern fortress.
They now have no slightest doubt about the identity of Sean's ancestral spirit reincarnation, and even if there is, they must be eliminated.
Because for the Kentanans, the immediate is the best choice.
Some of the things that the Eternal Night Leader has shown are not something that can be conquered by force.
In particular, this force is still on the rise, and the future is limitless.
There are definitely many benefits to joining this rolling chariot, and you may be able to have your own place in the future empire.
When the idea is subtly changed, the practice will naturally change.
"The Kentana Icefield and the mountains to the east are not without output, and with the tenacious survival ability of the clansmen, plus the additional subsidies given by the military leaders, even if the ice period lasts for another three or five years, it is not too much of a problem. Chief Yar patted his chest and promised, "We will never let our people become a burden to Lord Zuling. ”
"I have no doubt about that. Sean fully affirmed and trusted the two chiefs and said, "The enemy is not static, the battle plan is the same, the situation on the Balsing steppe has changed, we also need to adjust the battle and development plan accordingly, according to the movement of the undead army, we are not their primary target, their first target of attack is likely to be their old enemy Theodin Empire."
Those undead soldiers are completely unconscious, but those undead can retain some of the memories of their lives, and the more advanced they are, the more memories they retain, which means that they still retain their love and hatred in life.
They have become undead, the invasion of the Western Odin Empire has an unshirkable responsibility, in the face of the hatred of losing the country, the hatred of extermination, it was just that he had no ability before, but now he has great power, if it were you, what would you do?"
