Chapter 769: The City of Night
"Although the shadow energy can delay the decay rate of the undead soldiers' flesh to a certain extent, it does not mean that it is not rotten at all, if it fails to absorb enough energy before the corpse completely decays, and the bone ashes are ossified, even if they are not completely scattered, they will be extremely weak, the undead empire only cared about advancing before, and did not pay attention to this piece, and now the first few batches of undead soldiers have collectively entered a state of serious decay, which has caused a lot of blows and impacts on their military strength. ”
Sean was not so much answering Marshal Dicron as he was sorting out the information he had absorbed from the soul fire of Ozhitandu, "This is the real reason why they agreed to sign a truce with the East Odin Empire, they need time to build a true undead legion." ”
"I see!" Marshal Dicron suddenly realized, "we should indeed take the initiative to make things bigger, let's start with their other advance army, and by the time we retreat, I believe the other three marshals have already led the team to press!"
"That's what I thought, too!" Sean laughed, "They despise us, and they have to pay the price!"
After completing a beautiful encirclement reinforcement, the Guards did not try to continue pushing forward the Gray Tower 7, but withdrew in the direction of the 1st Gray Tower.
The Guards are now running out of ammunition.
The continuous fierce battle dragged the soldiers into fatigue.
When the Holy Light Cannonball and Holy Light Grenade pushed the fifth Gray Bone Tower, they had already consumed seventy-seven-eighty-eight.
It's all supported by the Legion's combat skills, the Battle Artifact Ancestral Spirit Spear, and the sacred equipment that Sean has modified with the power of the newly acquired Laws.
This is also the reason why when the undead legion of Ozhitandu was fought before, the mortar did not fire at all, and the Holy Light grenade only threw one round and did not move.
In this state, if you push the No. 7 Gray Bone Tower, you will be taking the lives of the soldiers to fill it.
Sean and Marshal Dicron took it as soon as they saw it, ready to focus their attention on the Gray Tower One, which had become an isolated island.
However, the Guards Regiment is here to beat the side drum and suppress the formation, not the main force attacking the No. 1 Gray Bone Tower.
The Skull Crusher Legion led by Marshal McGee, the Cliff Legion led by Marshal Locke, and the Ancestral Spirit Legion led by Marshal Yar are.
After a round with the three major legions.
The first thing Sean did was to upgrade their banner to the Heroic Banner.
Pushing the more than 2,000 points of law power harvested by pushing the No. 6 Gray Bone Tower, in addition to spending one hundred and fifty points, transforming fifteen gray bone war horses and keeping them for future research, the remaining little was not wasted, and he was ready to use it at this time.
As for the whole process of attacking the Gray Tower One.
There is no need to describe it more.
Just one Guards legion pushed down five of their Gray Bone Towers in a row, and by the way, ate one of their elite advance legions.
Not to mention how terrifying the power that erupted after the four main army corps converged.
Under the arch of the four major army corps, after the four artillery battalions were erected, more than 200 artillery pieces of various kinds bombarded the vanguard corps of Prince Chagan guarding under the No. 1 tower.
With such ferocious firepower, let alone a super energy giant, even if it is ten or eight, it is not a problem.
The Vanguard Legion hadn't been blown up yet, and the No. 1 Gray Bone Tower had been blown up first.
The Vanguard Legion, exposed to the air, had no chance of winning.
Then a scene that left Sean and them stunned appeared.
The entire army of the undead surrendered on their knees.
They have seen a lot of captives, and this is the first time they have seen the undead captives.
Sean had to summon the other four giants to his side and convene an emergency military meeting.
"What do you marshals think of this, and are we going to take these captives or not?" asked Sean straight to the point.
Although he did not show any fluctuations in his expression, it was clear from his actions to summon the four marshals that he was a little undecided about this matter.
"Take, why don't you take it?" Marshal McGee was always so straightforward, and his thinking was sometimes rather bizarre, "We've seen a lot of captives of the living, and it's the first time we've seen captives of the dead, and what a shameful thing it would be to bring them back to the territory." ”
"This matter needs to be cautious. Marshal Locke habitually pinched his gray beard and said, "After all, there is a difference between life and death, once they surrender, what will we do with them at that time? Will they be imprisoned permanently? Or are we going to recruit them and let them be used by us? Even if they really surrender, do we really dare to use them?"
"I don't think we have anything to say about these bones, and it's the easiest thing to just blast them into the sky. Marshal Yar made his claim in a sullen voice.
In the traditional view of the Kentana, death is a very sacred thing.
The brave will continue to defend their race in a different way.
This kind of breaking the boundary between life and death in the Empire of the Undead is undoubtedly in conflict with their traditional concepts, and they regard it as a cowardly act to escape death.
"I think the key to Na Na Na is whether we can profit from it, if not, but to cause trouble for ourselves, of course, it is more cost-effective to eliminate them cleanly, if we can squeeze greater benefits from them, it doesn't hurt to keep them, anyway, it will be easy to deal with them when the time comes. ”
Marshal Dicron threw the question back into Sean's hands, "It's just that this kind of enemy is too special, and whether it is useful or not has to be judged by the lord, in our hands, there is only one piece of chopping." ”
When Dicron said the end, he clearly meant something.
He had seen with his own eyes that Sean had turned the enemy's grey horse into a tame tool that could be used by them.
Dicklon's opinion made Sean make up his mind: "Then stay for the time being, after all, the other party used to be a prince, even if it is useless in research in the future, it may have its own unique use in targeting the undead empire, but the usefulness is limited to those few undead and high-level undead, and if they are subdued, all the undead soldiers will be executed on the spot." ”
Although Sean has the power of law, he has the ability to transform those gray knights and gray bone elites into his own undead soldiers.
But for him, the power of the law is more precious, and he has not yet had the luxury to use it on it.
The four marshals took the order, and in such a non-decisive decision, they would not have to worry about Sean.
In the face of absolute strength, Prince Chagan had no room for bargaining at all, and obediently accepted the condition that the Eternal Night Army Leader only accepted a few of their undead as prisoners, but the undead legion was to be destroyed on the spot.
After all, for them, the undead legion is just something outside of their bodies, and as long as they are alive, they have the opportunity to form a new undead legion.
If you die, then everything is empty.
As for the nonsense that after the flame of the soul is extinguished, they will be reborn in the goddess, that is, to deceive those stupid fellows, at least Prince Chagan does not believe it.
After the demolition of the No. 1 Gray Bone Tower.
The Eternal Night Leader has launched another round of advance towards the Empire of the Undead.
This time they split in two.
The Guards Legion, which was replenished with ammunition from the hands of the three major legions, was still on its own, and Sean's energy clone accompanied him with the Ancestral Spirit Spear, using his maneuvering speed to frantically weave in the direction of the Undead Empire, ready to push a few towers in their hinterland before they could react.
It is still the means of combining the Legion Skill and the Ancestral Spirit Spear, and there are more Deputy Marshals on the way to the territory, as long as there is one more Champion Knight, and Dicron alternates the Legion Skill, this combination will be even more perfect.
The three legions formed an army and slowly advanced forward, starting from the No. 7 Gray Bone Tower anyway, and meeting one by one.
Those undead relied on the super energy giants summoned by the Gray Bone Tower, but they couldn't withstand the combat skills of the three legions at the same time.
It wasn't until the final harvest that Sean's soul war beast came out.
The power of the law of harvest changed hands and was invested in them again.
With the experience of arming the Guards Corps, the order of input is naturally more planned.
The first to rise to the top is naturally the Heroic Soul Banner, which can not only increase the safety of the souls of fallen soldiers, but also enhance the lethality of the legion's combat skills.
The top-of-the-line Heroic Soul Banner also has a hidden feature.
Its attraction to the soul is indiscriminate, and the soul fire is also a type of soul.
After the bodies of those undead soldiers are shattered, if they are too close to the Heroic Soul Banner, there is a chance that they will be directly absorbed by it.
For the soldiers of the eternal night, the Heroic Soul Banner is a place of recuperation to protect their souls.
For the soul fire of the undead soldiers, the Heroic Soul Banner is an incinerator, and their soul fire is unfortunately attracted to it, waiting to be burned as fuel, becoming the cornerstone of the growth of the Heroic Soul Banner.
Then there are the Holy Insignia, Holy Artillery, and Holy Weapons.
In a word, the more towers you push, the easier it will be to push the next one.
They pushed all the way back, not only cutting off the tentacles of the Undead Empire reaching into the Kogel grassland, but even pushing them into the hinterland of their core, all the way to the posture of the City of Night.
......
The City of the Night.
True to the name, the sky here is in a state of darkness all day long.
This unique phenomenon is naturally due to the Gray Bone Tower and the undead canopy it forms.
The same gray bone tower is not at the same level at all compared to the one that was pushed down by the Eternal Night Army Leader.
The Gray Bone Tower here is obviously taller, and the undead canopy formed is naturally higher, and the shadow energy filled inside is naturally richer.
Most importantly, it belongs to the very core of the Empire of the Dead.
The Gray Tower of Bones didn't stand thin like the ones that the Eternal Night Leader had pushed down.
Instead, it criss-crosses and forms a city dedicated to the undead with towers of gray bones.
Today, it covers an area of no less than 100,000 square kilometers.
And it is still expanding outward at a steady rate.
Gray mist entangled, that is only the rudimentary form of the undead canopy, if someone goes deep into the night capital, they will find that this place is not as completely dense as they imagined, it is completely foggy.
The dense fog here floats in the sky for hundreds of meters, forming a thick curtain-like existence here, which does not completely block out the sun, but only filters it on one side.
There is just something in the sunlight that is lethal to them, not completely harmful to them.
Just like they are bathed in the sun, not only will they not be injured, on the contrary, the soul fire can also absorb a part of the essence and grow slowly.
The High Canopy of the Dead serves the same role as the moon.
No.
More precisely, it is still above the moon.
Because it's tailor-made for the undead.
As long as they bathe for a few hours a day, the sunlight purified by the canopy of the undead is enough to sustain the daily consumption of those low- and medium-level undead souls, so that their soul fire will not be exhausted with time.
The undead here, as outsiders imagine, stand there idle, ready to kill all the time.
Most of the undead are busy in an orderly manner.
What they do is very simple – collect, carry, process bones.
These bones are the same as those used to build the Tower of Gray Bones.
If Sean saw this, he would be absolutely surprised.
The Empire of the Dead is obviously following the path of industrial production, and after the initial processing of various materials, they are transported to the construction site for combined construction.
This method may seem cumbersome, but it can achieve the purpose of rapid construction.
This explains why the Grey Towers of the Undead Empire advance so quickly, as long as they have enough building materials, they can even turn the entire continent into a night capital.
The premise is that they have that many building materials.
Don't forget that the building material is not the ubiquitous earth and stone, but bones.
It is no exaggeration to call the Empire of the Undead an empire that rises above the corpse of the East Odin Empire.
The nutrients of the East Odin Empire have been absorbed by them, and they are almost used up, and it won't be long before the Undead Empire will also fall into a financial crisis - the corpse is their finances.
"Your Majesty, since last month, the materials brought back by the search force from outside have begun to drop sharply, and now only fifty percent is left, and I believe that this situation will further deteriorate, and within three months, the materials brought back by the search force from outside will be sharply reduced to one percent, until there will be no more gains. Prince Zana, like a chancellor of the Exchequer, replied respectfully, holding a thick ledger.
And so it is, he is now the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Empire of the Undead.
Prince Zhana, like Prince Chagan, was transformed into an immortal by Empress Narentoya herself.
But that doesn't mean they're 100% high-level immortals.
Prince Zana is one of the tragic ones, although he has become an immortal, he has no ability to transform others into immortals.
Even if it is sitting on a powerful force, it does not mean much.
But Prince Zana has his own way of survival.
That is, without two hearts, he took refuge under the banner of Empress Narentoya and took refuge from her.
The Empire of the Undead is a huge empire, as long as it wants to grow, as long as it wants to be an empire, it will continue to develop.
There can be no only way to do it, but to do it by military force.
Sure enough, what he learned during his lifetime found a new way out for him.
A central finance minister is indispensable to an empire.
Prince Zhana is definitely a few low-level immortals within the Undead Empire, but he has a noble status, even those high-level immortals who sit on the elite undead legion, they are also respectful to him, and they dare not slack off in the slightest.
If they are deliberately made difficult by the other party when allocating resources in the future, it is very likely that they will fight under the scorching sun without a sacred shelter, which is two different things.
