At first, it was only faint, but as we went deeper, the taste of this energy became more and more familiar, and there was even a kind of wordless comfort.

This familiarity doesn't come from Sean, but from the soul body he manipulates, the Shadow Soul Eater Panther.

There is only one kind of energy that can make the shadow leopard feel familiar, the shadow energy.

This discovery made Sean's heart pound, and he had a feeling of sudden realization.

For a long time, Sean had been pondering the negative energy sources of the Undead Empire's creation of the Undead Canopy.

Not to mention just slaughtering the East Odin Grassland, even if all the creatures in the entire Odin Grassland were slaughtered, the souls obtained were used to fuse the energy of death spells, which was not enough to support them to create the undead canopy so unscrupulously.

At one point, Sean suspected that the Undead Empire had found another energy pit and mined a large number of spell crystals.

Now it seems that the situation is even worse than I expected.

The Empire of the Dead is proficient in the direct extraction of shadow energy for its own use.

Isn't shadow energy just negative energy?

Normal people who use this energy for a long time are likely to distort and mutate themselves into shadow monsters.

But the undead had no such concerns.

If the Undead Empire really draws shadow energy from the shadow plane to support the undead canopy.

The White Bone Towers they built were not just energy transmission pipelines, but energy absorption devices that directly absorbed shadow energy into this world on a large scale.

The closer you get to these bone towers, the higher the concentration of shadow energy.

In that environment, the greater the undead strength, the weaker the Guards.

What makes Sean's heart heavy.

In doing so, the Undead Empire is undoubtedly digging into the walls of this world, artificially speeding up the collapse of the plane barriers.

They are getting more and more like fish in water, and the rest of the creatures are about to lose their blood.

Sean found himself making a low-level mistake, an incomparably low-level mistake.

That is to measure Naren Toya and the undead empire she commands with normal human thinking.

Not entirely true.

More precisely, he shouldn't use normal human thinking to measure the goddess of night and winter standing behind Naren Toya.

Naren Toya and her empire of the undead are nothing more than an extension of the other party's will, a puppet raised to achieve their own ends.

Just think of the god of death, this person is selfish to the extreme, unscrupulous for personal ends, and does not care about anyone's life, including whether the world will be destroyed.

The goddess of night and winter, I'm afraid it's not much better than him.

No matter what crazy thing the other party does, he shouldn't be surprised.

This kind of unconventional enemy, once discovered, should be completely strangled in the cradle, which is the safest strategy.

It's not that Sean doesn't understand this truth.

When Naren Toya led the rise of the Undead Empire, the Eternal Night Army leader was powerless.

At that time, the entire Barsing steppe was covered with a terrible plague.

The Eternal Night Army leads the elite legion with only one result, and that is to add fresh raw materials to the opponent's undead legion.

Sure enough.

The deeper the shadow leopard went into the canopy of the undead, the richer and purer the shadow energy inside Sean found, and the greater the number of undead spirits.

In this case, there is a situation that is more or less favorable to Sean.

The home advantage of the Shadow Panthers is becoming more and more obvious.

Although shadow energy has a great similarity with death energy, there is still a lot of difference.

The Shadow Soul Eater Leopard is an out-and-out shadow creature, although it has been made into a soul war beast, but the ability inherited from the main body is extremely authentic.

Skills naturally have a certain bonus, even if it is from the perspective of the soul of the undead, it also has a good stealth ability, because it is full of shadow energy and soul energy everywhere, as long as it does not run into those undead, with the IQ of low-level undead soldiers, it is difficult to distinguish the difference.

The shadow leopard can clearly distinguish which direction has more shadow energy, and Sean only needs to run in this direction to find the main master.

Especially when he was close to the White Bone Tower for a kilometer, Sean directly appeared an accurate sense, not only being able to identify the location of the other party, but even clearly telling the distance between the two.

Although the shadow energy has become more dense, which is more conducive to the shadow leopard's hidden tracks, Sean has become more cautious in his actions, and he did not rashly approach the White Bone Tower to reconnoiter nearby.

Sean has two concerns.

One, as they speculated.

As the core device of the canopy of the undead, the Empire of the Undead did not let it be left alone, it was left to be guarded by the legion here, and the first White Bone Tower touched by Sean was no exception.

Within a kilometer of the White Bone Tower, it was already within their core range, and all kinds of undead spirits had begun to gather.

Even if it is in a shadow state, if you are not careful, it is easy to hit the muzzle.

The second point worries Sean the most.

With these White Bone Towers having an ample source of magical energy, who knows if there are any other special abilities?

If there were undead people in it, maybe it could be used as a small mage tower?

He recklessly barged in.

Exposing the whereabouts is secondary, affecting the battle plan of the Guards Corps, and the losses are great.

Sean chooses to be cautious.

Keeping a relatively safe distance of one kilometer from the White Bone Tower, it circled around it, scouting the strength of the undead legion that guarded it.

A rough estimate is that there are between one and two thousand undead soldiers, the amount of one corps.

The overall appearance is very regular and circular.

The soul fire is divided from the outside to the inside according to the strength and weakness, and the stronger it is the further inside.

Such a layout has appeared, not only because of the strength problem, but also because of the environmental problem.

As mentioned earlier, the closer you get to the White Bone Tower, the richer the shadow energy filled by the Undead Canopy, the more conducive it is to these undead souls to absorb negative energy and enhance their soul fire.

Rather than saying that the undead legion was guarding the White Bone Tower, it was better for them to rely on the White Bone Tower for cultivation.

The immortal spirit of a corps, under normal circumstances, the Guards Legion is fearless, even if it is led by a high-ranking undead, it is definitely a one-sided rolling when it really fights.

But under the curtain of the undead, they need to be well planned.

Sean manipulated the shadow leopard to further reconnoitre, while passing information to Marshal Dicron through his energy clone.

Marshal Dicron personally took the pen and wrote and drew on the map quickly, and at the same time pointed out the direction for Sean's next reconnaissance: "Lord Lord, how are those undead legions arranged? Are there any traps and horse rejections, these military facilities that have a restraining effect on the cavalry?"

"There are no armaments!" Sean replied quickly, "There are two reasons for this situation, one is that they have deep confidence in the undead canopy, thinking that with the undead canopy, our cavalry will not dare to rush in rashly, and they don't need to be ordnance, and the other is that they don't have the intelligence at all, and they can't make such complex ordnance, after all, the undead who retain their wisdom are in the minority, and the main ones who do rough work are those undead soldiers, and I prefer the latter." ”

"The lord's analysis is very reasonable, but the specific situation, it also depends on whether they will change their strategy according to our attacks, if they are attacked by our cavalry one after another, they still do not carry out armament defense, this is definitely their weakness. Marshal Dicron memorized this for a moment, and continued, "What about the troops? Are there pikemen?"

"The situation inside can't be seen for the time being, as far as the equipment of those undead soldiers on the periphery is concerned, it is very messy and messy, there is no systematic equipment, most of them are mainly based on the equipment of the soldiers of the East Odin Empire left behind, and the number of pikemen who are specifically aimed at the cavalry is very scarce, and they cannot be assembled into a gun formation to resist the frontal impact of the cavalry. In the end, Sean couldn't help but laugh first and said, "The Undead Empire looks extremely powerful, but after careful analysis, they still have a lot of weaknesses, and their equipment is so messy, I'm afraid it's not only because of the scarcity of minerals on the Odin grassland, but also because they themselves are not proficient in forging technology!"

"That's good news. Marshal Dicron nodded and said, "I still need to make a few more trips to check the distance between the White Bone Tower, so that we can estimate when their reinforcements will arrive if we attack the White Bone Tower." ”

"I'm already on my way to check. Sean estimated, "If nothing else, the distance between the White Bone Towers should be between fifteen and twenty kilometers, because the radius of the White Bone Towers is ten kilometers, if it is too dense, it will be a waste, find it, no more, no less, fifteen kilometers." ”

"Fifteen kilometers?" Marshal Dicron looked up at the sky, nodded at Sean and said, "The time is just right, when our army rushes to their first white bone tower, it is estimated that the sky has just dawned, if we can win, we will have a chance to connect the three cities, and ask the lord to lead us in front." ”

"Follow me!" Sean didn't talk nonsense, patted his head on the fire, carried a brass camphor gun, and rushed out first.

"The even-numbered Chariots of Holy Light will enter a high-energy state, and the odd-numbered Chariots of the Holy Light will enter a low-energy state, all cavalry must keep up with their own chariots, if they fall behind, no one will come back to save you, if you can't find a large force within half an hour, follow the directions indicated by the compass, and keep going east, until you get out of the canopy of the dead, where we will set up a meeting point. Marshal Dicron emphasized in a deep voice the tactics of this operation.

This time, they carried a total of 100 Holy Light Chariots.

Marshal Dicron did not combine them to charge into battle.

Instead, it was based on the hundred-man guards, and each hundred-man guard was assigned two Holy Light chariots.

Then, with this Holy Light Chariot as the core, they formed a charging formation.

The greatest threat to the Guards Legion is not the undead soldiers, but the Undead Skydome, in which it is easy to get lost if the soldiers leave.

The longer you get lost, the less likely you are to survive.

In order to cope with this situation, Sean not only designed and rushed the construction of the Holy Light Chariot, but also asked the arsenal to produce a batch of compasses, one for each Guards Legionnaire.

In addition, before leaving, Sean also added a double insurance for them - homecoming.

As the name suggests, as long as he uses this skill, he will show the soldiers the way home.

The directional sign used in this skill is none other than the Mage Tower where Sean sits in the Northern Fortress.

As long as you have a general understanding of the location of the northern fortress you are in, you can easily distinguish things, which is also conducive to the soldier's escape from the canopy of the dead.

Although the Guards Legion had only been in the hands of the Holy Light Chariot for a few days, this tactic was also improvized.

But the entire Guards Regiment is the essence of the Eternal Night Commander, and each cavalryman has more than five years of military experience, which can be called rich and skillful cooperation.

While marching, while running in training.

Now it's there.

As the order was transmitted, the two Holy Light Chariots of each Hundred Guards lit up one bright and one dark.

The purification tower carried on the Holy Light Chariot is not very high, including the body, it is only a little more than four meters, the diameter of the bottom is only one meter, and the diameter of the top is no more than thirty centimeters.

When it turned on the spell loop and entered high-energy and full-power operation, it immediately emitted a dazzling light, enough to illuminate a radius of thirty or forty meters as bright as day.

Guarded by a hundred-man cavalryman, the chariots of holy light, numbered one and two, were the first to rush into the canopy of the dead.

The soldiers who followed behind saw a very strange scene.

The canopy of the undead is like a living thing, and where the chariot of holy light passes, it is slowly retreating around.

Even though the Holy Light Chariot had already left this area, the Undead Canopy did not immediately re-cover this place, but like a worm, slowly, little by little, it re-engulfed this place.

The soldiers of the Guards Legion looked at this scene indifferently and did not show any horror.

Not only because it wasn't the first time they had seen it, but also because they knew how it worked, so they were naturally fearless.

The darkness in the canopy of the dead is not the same as the darkness without light.

The latter is because the eyes can't pick up light, and it's really dark.

The former uses magic energy to block out the sunlight and affect normal vision.

When these negative spell energies are neutralized by the light attribute spell energy emitted by the Holy Light Chariot, this place is in a blank area of spell energy for a short time, and it must wait until the surrounding negative spell energy flows back to neutralize the remaining light spell energy, and only then is it shrouded by the undead canopy again, and this unique situation will appear.

The gap torn by the first chariot of the Holy Light had not yet healed, and the second centurion had already rushed into it with the other two chariots.

The third hundred-man guard!

The fourth!

The fifth!

The entire Guards Legion turned into a spear, and a shot pierced the canopy of the undead, tearing a huge gap.

As the spear shook regularly, the hole grew bigger and bigger.
