Chapter 184: Hero's Mausoleum

Levi looked at the parchment scroll that was emitting a faint light in his hand, and then looked up at the gray-yellow pyramid dozens of meters away, and he couldn't help but complain: "Is this the heroic mausoleum we are looking for?" Could it be that there is a pharaoh buried in it? ”

According to the scroll given by Master Ophini, Levi's party spent some time, and after killing several groups of beastmen who stood in the way, they finally found their target in a barren mountain southwest of Blackstone Castle, but Levi didn't expect the so-called hero's tomb to look like this.

In contrast, Tanato's face was slightly solemn, for he recognized the style of architecture, which was not a common building in the Old World, but from the Far South, more distant than the mercenary city-states.

"My lord, please be careful, this kind of architecture comes from the distant country of Arabi, further east, in the Nehekala region, where the Great Desert of Death is unique, and I feel a strong breath of death from it."

He didn't understand Levi's complaint, because he didn't know what kind of creature the pharaoh was, but he felt threatened, and even from such a distance, he could still sense the danger inside.

"Arabi?" Livingston was a little surprised, "If I'm not mistaken, it seems to be a country that is further south than Tyrelll, the dog of war, or others, right?" He had heard about Arabi before, but it was not detailed, he only knew that it had been rich and now it had long since decayed.

"That's right, my lord," Thanatoe nodded, "the Arabi region was once very prosperous, and its territory was even larger than the entire Old World, and the kings were already fighting there long before the empires and knightly kingdoms of the Old World were established, plundering each other for wealth and population. ”

"But after an unprecedented cataclysm, much of the eastern part of the kingdom has become a desert of death, and the glory is gone, and the creatures that live there are almost dead, and only the tireless dead are roaming around."

"Despite all these years, the survivors of Arabi have not been able to wipe out the countless undead, and have only rebuilt some small and medium-sized cities by virtue of their geographical location."

"Although in recent years, various races have sent expeditionary forces to the Arabi region in an attempt to re-develop and develop it, only some coastal areas have succeeded in establishing some colonies, and they still have to resist the invasion of the undead that are unique to it."

"And this kind of pyramid is a unique structure in the Great Desert of Death in the Nehekala region, this pyramid is obviously small, but if it is a large pyramid, in addition to having a large number of undead legions, it is very likely that there is a high-level undead called the Tomb King."

It was clear that Tanato had done his homework on this, and Levi could understand it slightly, because the other party said that it was full of undead people, and it was the worst enemy of their Moorish sect.

"I see, I have a general understanding, all ready to fight!"

Following Levi's order, his subordinates suddenly formed a tight formation and began to approach the pyramid in front of them.

Soon the system's prompt popped up: "Mission props detected, do you want to enter the Hero's Mausoleum?" Note that the Hero's Tomb is a special dungeon, and the quest items will disappear after entering, and all players will share a cooldown, which can only be opened once every 2 days. ”

Of course, Levi didn't hesitate, and directly chose to confirm, and with his movements, the stone gate of the pyramid slowly opened a passage, which seemed to guide him in the direction of his progress, and the parchment scroll in his hand turned into a ray of light and disappeared, obviously this is a one-time task item.

Levi didn't hesitate any longer, and directly commanded the troops to start advancing, led by the cavalry led by Wallace, because this pyramid looked very spacious, enough for four or five cavalry to walk side by side, and the ground was paved with stone slabs, if this was also the case, it would be enough for them to attack or charge.

Soon, after passing through a passage full of oil lamps, Levi and the others entered a very spacious stone hall with a large number of holes overhead, allowing the sunlight to fall and Levi to see inside.

He immediately began to adjust the formation of his troops, because there were quite a few undead waiting in front of him, and the number was probably four or five hundred.

"Skeleton swordsmen, skeleton spearmen, skeleton archers, well, although all skeleton soldiers don't seem to be reliable in combat, it's the first time I've seen the undead arranged so neatly, and there are ranged troops among the low-level undead? If other undead players saw this, they would definitely die of joy. Well? Are those in the back skeleton cavalry? I was even more surprised. ”

As we all know, there are no ranged units in the primary class of the undead, and the skeleton's IQ can't learn the complex operation of drawing a bow and shooting arrows. The skeleton cavalry is even more impossible, they are afraid that they will be directly dismembered by their own mounts.

They can only rely on ordinary melee infantry units, or the Chosen Heroes themselves to launch ranged attacks, which is even worse than the Greenskins and Beastmen, whose ranged units are not very reliable, but they are good.

But despite this, except for the beginning, there were no undead players who complained about the weakness of their race, because the recruitment difficulty and maintenance cost of the undead classes were far lower than those of other races, and many undead players quickly learned the skill of directly transforming enemy corpses into subordinates through various channels.

Although the undead are weak in combat power alone, with their huge numerical superiority, they are enough to compete with any other race.

And now Levi saw the presence of skeleton archers and cavalry here, which had to surprise him, if all undead players were equipped with these two classes, then they would be a little more difficult, which is not good for players of other races.

And Levi is really very curious, can these guys really attack?

With the entry of Levi and the others, a guy standing at the front of the skeleton legion, with the most luxurious equipment, although he couldn't tell that it was not a skeleton soldier, but it was definitely a leader, waved the scepter in his hand fiercely, and a large array of arrows made of miserable white bones suddenly flew towards Levi and the others, as if telling Levi with practical actions that they were definitely not good!

At the same time, the skeleton cavalry riding the white bone horses also began to move, they slowly accelerated, and then went around to the side, as if they wanted to give Levi and the others a surprise attack from behind, but they were preempted!

Before he had time to see the damage caused by the skeleton archers to his subordinates, Levi had already quickly commanded: "Huames, those skeleton cavalry are handed over to you, try to defeat them as quickly as possible, and then deal with those skeleton archers from the side, no problem, right?" ”

"Okay, don't worry, Levi!" Bloomis responded cheerfully, and then immediately began to direct the cavalry troops to launch a counter-charge against the enemy.

"Tanato, Guards Davi, I'll enchant you with flames, and then you move forward with your melee troops, ranged troops, give me the ranged units that prioritize killing the enemy, Sienna, and try your hand at the enemy's commander."

Levi's men responded quickly, and then began their own battles according to Levi's orders.

The first ranged troops, although the skeletons have some additional resistance to ranged attacks, as arrows can easily pass directly between their bone racks, but as the rain of arrows falls, the number of skeleton archers is rapidly decreasing.

Levi also breathed a sigh of relief, because although the number of these skeleton archers seemed to be quite a lot, almost 3 squads, but the quality was not flattering, basically all of them were 1st order troops, and only a few were 2nd order.

It's just that Sienna's attack on the enemy commander didn't have any effect, because with her attack, several skeleton soldiers with white bone shields had already stood up and blocked in front of the commander, judging from the damage caused by Sienna's arrows, although these guys were not many in number, they were all third-order units, and they were not enemies that could be killed so easily.

It looks like it's going to be a tug-of-war.

It's just that Levi is not afraid, because the enemy only has a numerical advantage, and he believes that with the strength of his troops, he can definitely defeat the other party, the difference is only how much time it takes and how many battle losses it takes.

The melee troops quickly joined together, and it was not to Levi's surprise, the sharp knife troops led by Tanato and the guard Davi had a very obvious advantage against the skeletons, and almost at the moment of contact, several skeletons were directly killed in an instant.

But before Levi could smile, the leader, the enemy holding the scepter gently danced his scepter, and a large gray-yellow mist entangled Tanato and the others like sand, and their attack speed and movement speed suddenly dropped by a level, this guy turned out to be a mage unit!

Levi checked their status bar in Tanato, and found that they were all now hit by a negative spell called the Dust Curse, and the effect was exactly what it appeared.

At the same time, it did not stop, and when its scepter fell again, Levi found that there were several quicksand traps on the ground where Tanato and the others were, which not only seriously affected their speed, but also caused them some magic damage, and these quicksand traps were not fixed.

A swordsman who accidentally fell was directly entangled by the spinning quicksand, and if it wasn't for someone next to him pulling him, I'm afraid he would have fallen straight in.

Levi immediately decided: "Temu, you and the dwarven warriors attack from the other direction, and plan to attack them in Tanato!" ”

Timber Brute Hammer immediately laughed: "Levi, I've been waiting for a long time, brothers, come with me!" ”

Teki took the lead, wielding a pair of axes and slashing at the undead in front of him, and his two younger brothers immediately followed closely behind, and the small group of 2nd order dwarven warriors recruited by Levi from the tavern also followed.

Although they were all small and short legs, the speed of the charge was not too slow, and although this stone hall was very large, it was not open air after all, its area was still limited, and the distance between them was not too far, so soon the dwarven warriors joined the battle, and Levi immediately noticed Temu's extraordinary combat power.

As soon as he swung the ironwood axe, the enemy in front of him was seriously injured even if he didn't die, and when he swung the axe for the second time, those skeleton soldiers who were only the second rank would definitely turn into skeletons on the ground.

And when the enemy attacked him, he didn't care, but the two younger brothers behind him took the initiative to raise their shields to cover him, and the small group of dwarven warriors behind him was not just looking, which made him advance quite fast, almost not much inferior to Tanato.

The leader of the enemy soon noticed them as well, and once again raised his scepter and unleashed the Dust Curse on Ironwood.

Gray-yellow magic surrounded the bodies of Ironwood and other dwarves, but this time it did not have the same effect, although Ironwood's speed was also reduced, but the amplitude was at least half that of Tanato.

Levi noticed that he was also surrounded by grayish yellow, and the sand around Ironwood was much thinner, all because of a passive skill he possessed as a Tier 3 elite.

Stone Body: Dwarves are like boulders, not only in character, but also in their bodies, when attacked by negative magic, the dwarves' innate special constitution makes them have a very small chance to be immune to this magic, and a low chance to reduce the effect of this magic by half, only 1 time every half hour.

It can only be said that Tiemu's luck this time is not bad, although he is not immune, but it also reduces the effect of magic, but the other dwarves are not as lucky as Tiemu, after all, their strength is lower, and they do not have the special skills of Tiemu, so they are inevitably affected.

It's just that Levi can clearly feel that they are less affected than the halberdiers and swordsmen behind Tanato, because of the dwarves' unique natural skills, primary magic resistance.

As the name suggests, the dwarves are always more advantageous than other races when it comes to magic.

Instead of joining the Moorish knights, Timwood attacked from the other direction, and with the help of the dwarven warriors, the enemy leader had to divide his forces to stop them, but this gave them a chance.

They originally had an advantage in strength, and the reason why they were intercepted was because of the magical effect of the enemy, and on the other hand, because of the number of enemies, they were entangled.

But now that the enemy has divided their troops, their pressure has suddenly been reduced a lot, and according to Levi's calculations, in about five minutes, they will be able to successfully cut through the enemy in front of them and reach the front of the enemy leader.

At this time, Levi relaxed slightly: "Except for guarding against the enemy's leader, it's not a big problem." ”

He turned to look in the direction of Wallace, who had just been busy directing the troops, and didn't have time to see how her side was going.

But when Levi looked over, he was slightly taken aback, because the cavalry unit led by Huames not only successfully intercepted the skeleton cavalry, but also directly hit them hard, when Levi looked over, the skeleton cavalry in front of Huames was less than five, you must know that there were originally 2 squads of skeleton cavalry!

At this time, Wallamis didn't notice Levi's gaze, she just snorted, and then the spear glowed with white light, and directly shot a skeleton cavalry blocking the road into pieces, and the remaining strength was not dissipated, the white light actually broke away from her spear, and continued to fly forward for several meters, and took advantage of the situation to blast half of the body of the other skeleton cavalry into pieces, this is her newly comprehended skill, she actually upgraded in battle!

In addition to the accident, Levi was also a little happy, Huames's strength is equal to his strengthening, and seeing that Huamez is about to crush the enemy's cavalry and rush towards the opponent's long-range troops, as long as she succeeds, then there will be no suspense in this battle.

However, the leader of the enemy also noticed the state of his cavalry troops, and even more noticed that Hua Meisi and others were circling towards the side and rear, and it had to divide a part of its forces again to try to intercept Hua Meisi and others, but according to the movement speed of the skeleton soldiers, when they launched an interception operation, the long-range troops were probably killed by Hua Meisi and others.

Not as good as Levi's was not sure if it had expected this, but as it raised its scepter high again, Levi knew it was about to act.

Sure enough, as the magic light flashed, four or five large beetles with smooth shells and more than a meter long appeared on the way of Huamesi and the others.

"Well, scarabs? Now I'm sure that even if it's not a pharaoh, it's definitely a reference to Egyptian myths and legends, but unfortunately, this kind of thing can't stop Huames. ”

Although there was some surprise at the beginning of the sudden appearance of the enemy blocking the road, but with the joint efforts of Xiaobai and Huamesi, the big beetles blocking the road were directly killed at both ends, and there was no need for Huamesi to make another move, and the cavalry troops that followed closely behind directly trampled the remaining big beetles into a pile of pieces, and then the cavalry troops led by Huamesi rushed directly into the place where the skeleton archers were, and a killing storm was set off in an instant.

The leading enemy suddenly didn't know what to do, it now only felt that there were enemies on all sides, and its own troops were retreating, and the limited mana had been exhausted, and seeing the enemy continue to advance, in the end it could only raise the scepter again, but this time it was not to release magic, but to use it as a weapon to attack the enemy.

But it's just a mage unit after all, although it has high attributes with the boss template, and it also has a certain melee ability, but it's still a lot worse than a professional warrior, and Tanato, who has just held back his anger, can suppress it himself.

Seeing the performance of the enemy leader, Levi was also slightly excited, because he knew that the enemy was now in a dying struggle, and the overall situation was decided!
