Chapter 801: The Core Ability of Guarding the Battle Banner
It's just that the number of twisted nightmares around the Blood Castle is a bit staggering, and even the Shadow Soul Eater Leopard is difficult to sneak into silently, so he has to use the energy clone and General Pedro as Akiko to attract the Twisted Nightmare along the way, and create a sneak opportunity for the Shadow Soul Eater Leopard.
It works.
Twisted Nightmares are obviously able to share a certain amount of information in a shadowy environment, and when there is a commotion in one direction, the surrounding Twisted Nightmares are moving in that direction.
The more the energy clone and General Pedro make a move, the more twisted nightmares they attract, and the easier it will be for the Shadow Soul Eater to infiltrate.
It is still the old way to deal with the Gray Bone Tower, using the clear location of the Northern Fortress, the Thunder Golden Eagle, and the energy clone to locate it, and Sean is not disoriented at all under the canopy of the undead.
With the speed of the Shadow Soul Eater Leopard, once it was released, it didn't take long for it to directly touch the first fortress of the Byron Alliance, the Broken Blood Fortress.
This super fortress, which has three floors inside and three floors outside, has been built by the Strachrich family for three centuries, and when it reappeared in front of Sean, it looked extremely dilapidated.
Everywhere the city walls and large sections collapsed.
The kind of collapse is very weird, it is not shattered by trebuchets, nor is it blown up, it looks more like it has been violently hammered and corroded by someone, the fracture is very smooth, and the shadow energy filled with it is particularly rich, almost solidified there, and the number of twisted nightmares and flesh twisted nightmares in these areas is especially large.
At the beginning, there were a large number of Broken Pulse soldiers stationed here, and there were many materials parasitized by the Shadow Seed, and the number of flesh and blood twisted nightmares was naturally also large.
And those near-physical shadow energies seem to be the best medium for them to become stronger, and those twisted nightmares crawl there, greedily devouring those shadow energies.
The twisted nightmare that devoured that energy was a little different from what he had encountered before.
The more this kind of shadow energy twisted nightmare was absorbed, the more the shadow energy on the body was solidified, and there were several spirit twisted nightmares that occupied the best place, and the shadow energy around them was almost substantial, and they had an entity-like existence.
Those flesh and blood twisted nightmares, and the shadow energy on the surface was also like scales, sticking to their bodies, reducing their disgusting level to a certain extent.
In order to compete for this unique source of shadow energy, it is naturally impossible for the Warped Nightmare to be in harmony with each other.
Every now and then, a twisted nightmare is challenged and then fought.
This challenge of the boss position between the twisted nightmares is quite brutal.
The loser has nothing, and the winner gains everything, including the loser himself, and once he runs slowly, he will be swallowed by the winner and become a part of his body.
It's not exactly bottom-up, it's probably top-down, and those powerful twisted nightmares actively devour the weaker twisted nightmares around them.
This is also the result, unless it is a multi-eyed spider-shaped twisted nightmare, which uses its unique control ability to manipulate those weak twisted nightmares to gather around them.
Otherwise, most of the surroundings of those powerful twisted nightmares were blank, and no other twisted nightmares dared to approach at all, even if they originally existed, they would have already become the other party's plate and the ration for the other party to become stronger.
This kind of non-human act of shattering the city wall, the shadow energy that remains of suspected bodily fluids, can make the terrifying ability of the collective evolution of the nightmare, Sean can only think of one existence-the shadow master.
Linked to what he saw in front of him, a scene of the end of the world was quickly made up by Sean's brain.
One day a few weeks ago, the Broken Blood Castle was suddenly shrouded in a strange gray mist, and everyone was in a daze guessing where this strange weather came from.
A terrifying creature larger, unusually large, wielded its thick, uncanny tentacles from the gray mist.
In front of him, the walls of the Broken Blood Fortress were like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and they were torn apart in an instant.
Countless shadow creatures like face-hugging insects gushed out from the fumaroles on this tentacle and sank into the bodies of those broken pulse-breaking soldiers.
Facing the kind of terrifying monsters that never appeared in the nightmare, the minds of those soldiers with broken pulses were completely dominated, and they didn't even have a chance to persevere, they would be quickly assimilated and distorted by those shadow seeds, and then their temperament changed drastically and pounced on their former comrades.
That indescribable terrifying existence didn't last long, and it was forcibly driven out by the laws of the plane, otherwise the Broken Blood Fortress would not just be as simple as a large section of the city wall being demolished, but the entire city would be uprooted.
Just as Sean was pondering how to get around these elite-level twisted nightmares.
A loud trumpet sounded, and countless knights rode out to kill them.
These knights exude a faint golden light, blood-red cloaks waving in the wind, brass camphor riding spears and severed swords.
They were the world-famous first Iron Horseman, Broken Pulse Blood Rider, rushing to the front, dancing a spear like a wheel, even if he couldn't see his face clearly, Sean recognized his identity - General Arnold.
The Broken Vein Blood Rider that charged out was invincible, whether it was those almost materialized spirit twisted nightmares, or the flesh twisted nightmares covered in gray scales, they couldn't withstand their crazy advance.
Seeing this situation, Sean not only did not have the slightest joy, but had an indescribable heaviness.
A discerning person can see at a glance that the broken pulse blood riding is abnormal.
Both the rider and the mount are translucent.
This means that they are all dead and are now in the state of guardian knights.
The status of the Guardian Knight is very similar to that of the Heroic Soldier.
One is relying on the Second World to exist for a long time, while the other is relying on the Guardian Battle Banner to exist.
Guardian Banner.
At first glance, I thought that this battle artifact was like the golden armor of the Kingsley family, purely to improve the soldier's defensive ability.
This statement is only half true.
The Guardian Banner does have the ability to provide energy armor blessings to soldiers, but this is a secondary ability, not its core effect.
Its core ability is to transform into a guardian knight.
Those soldiers who leave their soul marks on the Guardian Banner do not die immediately, but their souls are absorbed by the Guardian Banner, reborn with magic energy, transformed into Guardian Knights, and continue to fight until the magic energy on the Guardian Battle Banner is exhausted.
This ability is the Guardian Battle Banner, the true origin of the name.
According to the original setting of the Guardian Banner, these Guardian Knights will die and dissipate when the energy in the Guardian Banner is exhausted.
But the Guardian Battle Banner passed through Sean's hands, and when it was repaired, he made a little trick and tried to inject a hundred points of law power into it.
Sean really didn't have any other ideas at that time, just doing experiments and preparing for the imitation of the Heroic Soul Army Flag.
After hearing about the accident of the Broken Vein Blood Castle, especially when facing the enemies of the laws such as shadow creatures, Sean remembered this matter again, and felt that he had no intention of interfering in the willows.
Because of the power of the law of one hundred points, it directly changed the nature of the Guardian Battle Banner, giving it the same nature as the Heroic Soul Banner - storing souls.
This is another reason why Sean sent three soul war beasts to the north at the same time.
Even if there is no way to save Archduke Cedric alive, at least they must find it and save their souls before the energy of the Guardian Banner is exhausted.
It's just that I didn't expect that not only did the guardian battle flag not look like it was running out of energy, but these guardian knights also had the ability to fight back.
Seeing the golden light flashing on their bodies, it was reasonable for this to happen.
The 100 points of law power that Sean injected into the Guardian Battle Banner became a seed, so that when they faced a unique enemy like the Twisted Nightmare, they would not have the slightest ability to resist.
The power of the law is the energy that has been accumulated by killing them in the process of fighting the Twisted Nightmare, including maintaining the existence of their guardian knight state.
As long as there is a balance, Archduke Cedric and the others can use this as a basis to maintain the existence of this state for a long time, forming a state similar to the second world.
The Broken Blood Cavalry led by General Arnold rushed very fast and did not love to fight, and scattered the twisted nightmare that needed to be swept away, and the surrounding twisted nightmares were frightened, and after showing signs of large-scale assembly, they immediately retreated.
Naturally, Sean would not let go of this excellent opportunity, and immediately rushed out of his hiding place, and while running wildly in the direction of the Broken Vein Blood Rider, he shouted loudly: 'General Arnold, wait for me, it's me Sean. β
In order to prove the authenticity of his words, the power of the law hidden in the depths of his soul all poured out, and the shadow soul eater leopard also turned into a super illuminating lamp, and everywhere it passed, the shadow energy vaporized, trying to stop Sean's twisted nightmare, and was slapped away by him mercilessly.
"Lord Sean?" General Arnold only glanced back when he heard Sean greet at first, not at all moved.
The twisted nightmares' ability to manipulate souls and simulate other people or creatures has long been taught and suffered great losses.
The way of reading the memory of the soul and then imitating it is no longer simply a vivid description.
It wasn't until he saw the restrained glow that bloomed from the Shadow Soul Eater Leopard's body that General Arnold was able to determine Sean's true identity.
This kind of restraint power is something that those monsters in the gray mist can't imitate no matter how they do.
General Arnold turned his horse's head and commanded with a spear, "Come with me." β
Under his leadership, this Broken Vein Blood Rider immediately rushed back.
The distance between the two sides was not that far in itself, and it took only a few minutes for the two sides to converge.
Sean was not polite, and put forward his request bluntly: "General, please come with me, there are reinforcements behind, carrying a large number of military supplies that can change the tide of the battle, and I am stumped by the twisted nightmares along the way, and I need you to welcome it." β
The military supplies in Sean's mouth are nothing else, they are the power of the law carried by the energy clone.
The power of the law is different from the law rune, there is no way to transmit freely through the invisible connection between Sean's souls, it must be carried by the soul or energy, and once it is completely separated, the power of the law is very easy to be absorbed by other substances.
In other words, an energy clone that carries a large amount of the power of the law, Sean cannot use the war beast to recall.
Because when the time comes, only the soul will be recalled, and the power of the law will remain in place and dissipate.
This is determined by the nature of the power of the law itself.
"What are the core values of the Eternal Night Leader's badge?" General Arnold asked aloud from afar.
Sean was stunned for a moment, but said without hesitation, "Serve the people." β
"What is the vocation of a soldier?"
"Protecting the family. β
"What is little Annie's birthday?"
"August 12th. β
"What's Sophia's favorite food?"
β......β
General Arnold asked seven or eight strange questions in a row, and seeing that Sean answered them all without hesitation, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "It's really the lord who has arrived, please forgive me, these monsters have the ability to read people's memories and imitate, so they have to be carefully distinguished." β
"This unique ability, which has just been seen, understood. By the end of the answer, Sean had already guessed what the other party wanted to do, "Since you have experienced the right body, please come with me." β
"Your Excellency leads the way. After verifying that Sean was directly behind, General Arnold did not hesitate to give Sean a high degree of trust.
"Willy, you lead a regiment to kill back, report the situation on our side to Your Majesty, and let him defend carefully. β
"Warners, your other legion is stationed nearby, and try to secure our rear. β
"Ordons, you come with me with your legions, and Lord Lord leads the way. β
General Arnold's swift command of the troops, and the blood cavalry led by him was divided into three, which can be described as comprehensive.
Although there was only one bloody cavalry soul of the corps that rushed out with Sean, it was enough to open the way.
These blood rider heroes not only experienced a hundred battles before they died, but also fought with the Twisted Nightmare after their deaths, and they more or less gathered some law power on their bodies, the least of which was a dozen points, and the most of which were already dozens of points, like General Arnold had already broken through a hundred points.
As for Sean's energy clone, after finding the target, he no longer adopted the previous incineration mode, but quickly rushed forward with General Pedro.
Compared with the killing of a single person, it is more efficient to distribute the power of the law and fight in the mode of corps and legions.
In the process of hurrying, Sean learned from General Arnold's mouth what happened to the Broken Vein Blood Castle one after another.
In fact, in the process of exploring, Sean has already guessed seven, seven, eight, eight, and eight, except for some details, the whole can be right.
The Theodin Empire used a large-scale blood sacrifice to put in a shadow master, more precisely, it should be the three tentacles of the shadow master.
From beginning to end, the people of the Broken Blood Fortress only found three shadow tentacles of different thicknesses and skyscrapers, and they didn't see the entire face of the Shadow Master.
So, General Arnold and they doubted that the unspeakable horror monster had not fully entered their world.
