Chapter 254 A military order is a contract
"Can I get ready and go again?"
"No, this is a military order from the Hell Lord and the Warzone Commander, and anyone who violates it will have only one fate: demotion to death. ”
The military order is a kind of mandatory hell contract, and its core strength is the evil feeling of hell. Not to mention being punished by the superior commander, just being entangled in a bad feeling will significantly reduce the power of the devil, and it will become the target of all the devils, because to eliminate the evil feeling is to win the good feeling, who doesn't have a lot of good feelings? Even if he leaves hell, the bad feeling will make the devil involuntarily emit a foul smell, causing the devil to do anything inconvenient.
The summoning event arrived, but the Horned Demon was watching, and Feige couldn't respond. There are many ways for a high-level devil of the Horned Demon level to interrupt the summons and prevent Feige from leaving Hell, and Latis, the theater commander, clearly thought of this in advance. Feige had no choice but to leave with the Horned Demon, only to tell Kazmuk as he passed by the artisan camp: "I will definitely come back and take care of the production." ”
The Horned Demon stood beside Feiqi, not saying a word, nor stopping Feige from speaking, but its eyes were glued to it. Seeing this stance, Fitch understood, and Latis, the commander of the theater, was determined to kill himself and completely eliminate the possible change in the situation of the battle caused by the devil's cannon - perhaps this result was also what Bayer, the lord of hell, wanted. However, Feige didn't think their plan would succeed, he couldn't get rid of the Horned Demon right now, but didn't he have a chance in the Undead Zone?
"What exactly is my duty?" Fitch walked in front of the Horned Demon as he made his way to the Bronze Fortress, apparently trying to gather as much intel as possible. "If my military order is to enter the undead zone, then even if I come out immediately, it will be considered complete, right?"
"Don't try to cheat, lust. Your mission is to cleanse the undead of the undead inside until they are completely put to rest. ”
The Horned Demon clutched the barbed whip tightly in his hand as he spoke, and it seemed that he wanted to try his hand on Feiqi. Feige actually hoped that he would swing the whip, and although it would hurt and hurt, it would show that he was not important and not valued. A horned demon is able to resist its tyrannical and cruel nature, indicating that it has received direct orders, such as "not to give the lust demon a chance to escape through his injuries".
A horned demon escorting a lust demon is not common in bronze fortresses, but it is certainly not as rare as the undead are wreaking havoc. Separated by the high bronze walls, a pale green fog shrouded the small half of the city. Faintly visible are flying ghosts, punctuating with shrill screams, like fingernails scratching across a blackboard, piercing and shuddering. From time to time, fireballs flew out of the green fog area, crashed into the city walls or landed in the crowd, presumably deflected by some hired adventurer in a panic.
"You just go in from here, and don't come out until you're done. Of course, you're also unlikely to come out. According to the orders of the war zone, the Warlord team composed of horned demons, ice demons, and some deep hell purgators has sealed off this place, as well as the spatial teleportation here. ”
Anyway, he was sure that the Horned Demon wouldn't hurt himself at this time, so Feige asked him, "What reward will be there if I complete the mission?"
"Oh yes, I almost forgot something. The Horned Demon plucked a bronze hand from his waist, spewed flames to heat it up, and pressed it directly to Feiqi's shoulder. The flames didn't hurt the Desire, but they did imprint a rune seal. "This is a record of the results of the battle, and every undead who is dissolved will have a record. This time, because it is an emergency call-up, there is no upper limit on the credit, and if you work hard, it is possible to become a deep hell purgatory. ”
"Then you wait. Feige made a confident expression and strode into the Undead Mist.
"Fool. The Horned Demon stood there and watched for a moment, and then specifically told the guards here not to let anyone out with military orders. "They're easy to identify, and the one with glowing runes on their shoulders is the one that's there. ”
What the glowing rune is, Fech cares more than anyone else. Don't look at him on the outside and make a "I'm strong, I'm fine, I'll make it", in fact, as soon as he enters the thick fog, he immediately becomes cowardly. The invisibility spell was unleashed, and at the same time, he used illusion to forge a wooden barrel to stand outside a nearby shop, and he hid inside, while using the aura obscuration spell to suppress his aura and close mana fluctuations. If someone passes by, unless they touch the barrel with their hands, they won't notice that there is someone hiding inside, and they are still peeping outside.
The first thing you do after hiding is to check the runes on your shoulder. It was a military order written in a hellish rune script, only a few dozen words, but its essence was a hellish contract. Using the knowledge of the Contract Demon, Fei Qi called up the contract and formed a virtual scroll to view. This is a skill that only contract demons can understand, whether it is the previous horned demon, or Latis and Bayer, they would not expect a desire demon to be able to see detailed orders.
Destroy the undead, or at least stop them from spreading, and then destroy the core of the undead: a staff located at the Cursed Bone Gate. Each undead who is destroyed accumulates military merit according to the amount of necromantic energy on its body......
The rewards are indeed very generous, so I won't go into details here, but overall the pay is still lower than that of hiring adventurers. While the devil hopes that the degenerate from outside will die quickly and turn their souls into spirit coins, they are also on the lookout for other devils to grow up and threaten their position. Therefore, there is a special clause in the military order: once the hired adventurers who are found to be lazy and slippery and resting, it is also considered a military merit to punish or kill them.
In addition to documenting military exploits, this forced infernal contract serves other purposes, and it seems very sinister to Feige. The way it is used to record military exploits is by attracting necromantic energy, which is commonly known as negative energy, which will clearly make itself easier to be discovered by the undead. In just ten minutes, three skeleton soldiers and two ghosts had passed by Feiqi, showing curiosity and inquiry. Fortunately, its illusion and aura occlusion are more powerful, and it hasn't exposed itself yet.
"We have to find a way to solve this thing, or we will be finished with a lot of monsters or powerful monsters. Fei Qi tried spatial teleportation, and it really didn't work here, and the phantom transformation couldn't be used, let alone spatial teleportation. Feige suspects that he may not even receive a summon here, and that the only way to survive is to stay here.
The runes that attract the undead are protected by the Hell Contract, and the military orders are issued by the Lord of the Hell Layer, and unless Feige is at least as equal to Bayer as the devil, he can't forcibly lift the restrictions of this contract, and he can't do anything with the runes. But he can think differently, anyway, this rune has been written out in the Hell Contract, so why not understand, crack and learn it? A way to hide it is to make yourself "darker", but let others be more "bright", isn't it relatively dark for yourself?
This is not considered to affect the Hell Contract, at most it is necessary to "familiarize" it, so it will not trigger the backlash of the contract and bring hellish evil. While a group of adventurers are fighting the undead on the streets, weapons and skeletons collide, spells and ghosts fly together, and the hustle and bustle is busy, Feige hides in a barrel of illusion and learns the spell every minute.
Looking at it, he saw the problem: if the runes of Hell were replaced with those of the Goddess of Truth and Thunder, then this spell would be somewhat similar to the core of the transcendent circle on the tower of the Ice Peak Fortress. It's not that the goddess used the devil's spell, but when it comes to attracting the undead, whether it's heaven or hell, the idea is similar.
However, how to destroy the undead after attracting them, the gap between the heavenly realm and hell is very large. Good deities have the means to combine their "divine" power with positive energy to directly counteract the negative energy of the undead and destroy the very basis of their activity. The good gods call this transcendence. The devils, on the other hand, only have the "evil" power of corruption and depravity, so they can only rely on hard encounters to carry out "physical and mana excesses", which will be much less efficient.
Some priests of evil gods can drive several undead to work for themselves, but in the face of such a large number of undead, this drive is a drop in the bucket. When the negative energy is particularly condensed, even the undead who have been previously controlled can get out of control, and the sudden backlash is often fatal. Not far away, the group of adventurers ran into such trouble: the skeletons stabbed the team's magic casters from behind, causing a chain reaction, and soon they were overwhelmed by the influx of undead.
Feige can't save them, so he can only take care of himself first. The slain group of adventurers soon stood up trembling and joined the army of the dead. They walked past Feige as zombies, their glazed eyes no longer intelligent. Feige held his breath and waited for them to pass, then continued to figure out how to crack the spell.
Thankfully, before he became a demon, Feige was forced by Old Man Kiplin to learn a lot of magic, and now all this knowledge is useful. The Ice Peak Fortress was built to deal with the geysants for a long time, and the geists were more like the undead before the excesses, and only after the excesses did they become the Mergers.
This experience and knowledge is invaluable, and in this hell, it is estimated that only Feige can use it. Who would come to hell to help the devil fight? And the priest of the neutral god is significantly behind the good god priest in terms of transcending the dead. A demon of lust that can shine with a good aura, who would have thought of this?
Suffering from the troubles of multiple identities, of course, you can enjoy the benefits of two sides and three knives. Feiqi thought about it for a long time and decided to move the Transcendence Circle here to deal with the undead.
Blindly hiding is definitely not the way to go, because if you don't complete the mission, the Hell Pact will think that Feige is disobeying the military order to "destroy the undead", and in addition to the possibility of bringing the hellish curse, the rune that attracts the undead will also become stronger. Obviously, there is nothing Fitch can do to stop it from getting stronger, but to avoid triggering this. Moreover, he observed several groups of adventurers who came in, and found that as long as they engaged the undead, killing the necromancers would release negative energy, and they would soon attract more undead until they were crushed.
Therefore, the elimination of negative energy is the most important thing, and this is exactly what the Transcendence Circle can do. The Goddess of Truth Thunder transforms her divine thunder into positive energy, and directly confronts negative energy like the "Five Thunder Righteous Method", which can truly be completely eliminated. The thunder power that Ice Peak Fortress reserves every year is used to exceed it in winter, and Feiqi can use his own mana to urge the Pit Divine Sword to generate divine thunder, and then supply the transcendent magic circle.
This involved the more complex spell design, and Feige could only do it with what he had at hand. I checked the space bag first, only to find that I couldn't even open the space bag. The devil used countless space blocking spells around him, and even blocked the space bag. Fortunately, the Lust Demon can live without eating, and as soon as those adventurers come in and find that they have not taken out the supplies from the space bag, what kind of sluggishness should it be?
"Still worrying about others?The rune plates made by the siege weapon camp are all in the space bag, what should I do now?" Feige looked around, the bronze fortress had wide streets and tall buildings. The layout here is rigid and rough, and the city is strictly separated by a full twelve layers of concentric ring walls. The undead fog spanned the six rings of the outgoing outer wall, which was supposed to enclose a portion of the commercial area.
Either go to the commercial area and search for materials, or use the magic matrix entirely to complete the spell. The former is more mana efficient and efficient, while the latter ...... Feige thought about it for a moment, and decided that the business district was too dangerous a target. It's not the kind and orderly paladin army and the good god priest who come here to clear the undead, but there is no habit of not allowing raiding. Commercial areas must be densely populated areas, especially when there are no space bags available, and fighting for food and water is enough.
The high density of living people and the high likelihood of fighting mean that the undead will focus on that area, and the danger factor is too high. Feige thinks that it is not appropriate for him to go to the business district now, and it is better to hide in a hidden place and "grow secretly". Taking advantage of the fact that no one was passing around, he quietly shifted, leaving the main road and burrowing into a dark alley.
A block guard's outpost has become his hideout, with a sturdy front door and a hidden back door, which has been swept by the undead, and is full of negative energy, so the likelihood of attracting the undead is relatively low. Just taking advantage of the strong breath, Feiqi hurried to design spells and experiment them in the magic matrix as soon as possible.
A whole day passed, and the fighting outside never stopped, and the outcome of each battle did not change. The undead defeated the adventurers and the devils sent in by military order, transformed them into undead warriors like themselves, and then waited for the next wave of dead guys. Fei Qi estimated that unless Bayer made up his mind and mobilized a large number of elites such as the Horned Demon and the Deep Hell Purgatory Demon to assault, the undead would at least be able to maintain the current situation.
It is estimated that Bayer also wants to take the opportunity to see who is not loyal enough to him and clean up the power of these people - this can be regarded as a loss of face. Fei Qi has time to analyze the situation, mainly because his "Undead into the Urn" spell has been combined, and now all that remains is to use the magic matrix to continuously polish and increase the casting speed as much as possible. This spell, which was born from the Goddess of Truth and Thunder's Transcendence Circle, is so large that even if it is simplified with magic, it takes five minutes to recite the spell (channel). Five minutes on the battlefield is enough for Feige to die dozens of times, and it is certainly unacceptable. Therefore, Feige needs to use the magic matrix to form a spell base first, and shorten the spell recitation time as much as possible, no more than half a minute at most.
Suddenly, the military command charm on his shoulder began to heat while releasing a bright light and a strong attraction to the undead. In order to avoid the greater ill feelings and troubles caused by the intensification of the Hell Pact, Feige had no choice but to remove the aura obscuration spell. He knew his time was running out, and that it was time to act.
At the very least, start surpassing the undead around the perimeter to make the military order less attractive.
