Chapter 367: The Lich Master Who Went Crazy
Although the military advisor tried very hard to find some clues, the Avengers sent someone to deliver the latest information to Levi first, saying that the Red Duke led a group of blood knights composed of pure-blood vampires, as well as some vampire mutated bloodthirsty bat demons to raid the commander of the coalition army, Duke Bohamund, but under the counterattack of a large number of heroes such as Duke Bohammond, Duke of Cassion, Viscount Renard and the prophet Margarita of the lake god, they were defeated and fled, and the battle of Musillon was declared victorious.
Now the coalition forces are gradually clearing the city of the remaining undead, and are beginning to march towards the harbor side of the sea, attacking the undead who are fighting the navy there, which is said to be led by the Red Duke's lieutenant, the Black Knight Mahanoxu.
And until this time, the military advisor still hasn't been able to find too many useful clues, and it can only be said that the lich master is really cunning and cautious.
Levi sighed, it was a pity that he couldn't participate in the battle with the Duke of Bohammond with his own eyes, so many heroic aborigines, the battle scene must be very exciting.
The military advisor was also a little frustrated, although the chairman repeatedly encouraged him, saying that he had done well enough, but he still felt a little frustrated, feeling that he had not been able to win the first battle perfectly.
Just before leaving, Levi glanced around here, and then he suddenly seemed to remember something, and he couldn't help but confirm with the military advisor again: "Strategist, you said that half of Musillon was hollowed out underground by the Red Duke to hide the army of the undead and prepare for this raid, so why are all the buildings around here intact?" ”
Due to the Red Duke's tactics, there are basically not many intact buildings in this half of Musilon City, but the prison and the vampire transformation circle are still intact here. Just now they were busy cleaning up the battlefield, busy rescuing the wounded, and busy restoring the health value of those newly recruited subordinates, but they didn't notice this for a while.
The military advisor was also a little dazed when he heard this, although they were stationed near here yesterday, but he really didn't know much about this, and even Liu Sandao didn't get any information about the underground near here...
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
The military advisor immediately shouted excitedly, "Boss, I'm going to look for clues, all the hollowed-out places can be triggered by magic to trigger special marks, as long as there is, I will definitely be able to find it!" ”
"In this case, then it will be hard for you, military advisor, I will also send more people with you"
"Boom!"
Levi's words were not finished, only to hear a muffled sound, the ground began to shake incessantly, and the surrounding buildings began to collapse rapidly, obviously, Levi guessed correctly, there is also a similar design here, and the reason why he chose to launch at this time is definitely because he heard the conversation between him and the military advisor, so the other party chose to strike first.
The only thing that matters is whether the other party is the Lich Master himself!
Before the smoke cleared, a group of undead people with spears in both hands or short swords in the other, all wearing cloaks, rushed directly towards Levi's troops, and some of the archers behind them who were also cloaked began to draw their bows and shoot arrows.
As soon as they came into contact, the troops on the front line felt very difficult, because compared to ordinary undead such as Tomb Warriors, their attack speed and movement speed were obviously not of the same level, and although their skin color still represented the blue and white of the undead, their faces were much more refined than ordinary undead and even ordinary vampires.
This means that either the necromancer spells that transform them are extremely powerful and can preserve their appearance to the greatest extent possible, or they are all handsome and beautiful in their lifetime!
What's even more surprising is that as they puff up the rain of arrows, accurately passing through the gaps in the armor of the front-line infantry, hitting their vulnerable parts, a series of blood-red critical hit numbers flashed out, and these archers all have an amazing hit rate and critical strike rate, far exceeding those of the miscellaneous version of the skeleton archers.
Such excellent archery skills made Levi a little suspicious for a while, are these undead or elves? Or are they all undead transformed from elves?
Soon, the exclamation of the military advisor next to him directly confirmed Levi's guess: "Boss, there are a few wood elves under my command!" ”
Levi commanded the troops to counterattack, and said without looking back: "Are you sure?" But I've never heard of Wood Elves having archery skills after being transformed into the undead? ”
These undead who can shoot arrows, their attack speed and hit rate are very exaggerated, not even inferior to those half-elf archers under Sienna's command, far stronger than the skeleton archers they have seen before, and the arrows they shoot all have gray-white energy, which also greatly strengthens their attack power, almost comparable to the attack power of ordinary 4th order troops.
If this special class of undead troops is popularized throughout the old world, it will be a big bad thing for the aborigines and chosen heroes of other races, because the undead have always been afraid of attacks such as light and flame, their biggest shortcoming is that they do not have any decent ranged troops, and the necromancers belong to the mage unit after all, and the number is also very scarce, so they cannot be used as marksmen.
If this unique undead appeared on the battlefield together with those skeleton archers, then the shortcomings of the undead would be compensated for a large part!
"I'm sure, boss, I brought a total of three Wood Elf subordinates, I will never admit to mistake. When Liu Sandao insisted that I transform into a vampire, several of my subordinates who did not want to be transformed into undead were also forcibly taken away by him. If Liu Sandao hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have wanted them to be arrested, who knew that he would have done such a thing to my subordinates! ”
Speaking of this, the military advisor also gritted his teeth, you must know that there is also a favorite wood elf girl in it, Liu Sandao didn't say that he wanted to transform them into undead at that time, he only said that he would take them aside first, and deal with them in a few days, so as not to affect the morale of other troops!
"But how is that possible? When a necromancer drives a low-level undead, he can't drive their souls together at all, nor can he have any memories and martial arts before his death, so their combat effectiveness is so low. Only the corpses of those ancient heroes, after going through special magic rituals, can produce a hero-level unit called the Corpse Demon King, which can retain a lot of memories and combat power in life. But how could there be so many corpse demon kings at the same time? ”
Ophini on the side was also full of surprise, if the low-level undead could retain their memories and combat experience, who would transform them into vampires? The difficulty of transformation between the two is completely different, and each vampire must be given blood and power by his father's vampires!
"Hahaha, that's all thanks to the contribution of the Red Duke, thanks to his Nagash Nine Volumes!"
With a barrage of laughter, the Lich Master, with a skull staff in one hand and a purple-gray sword in the other, rose straight from the ground.
It wasn't until he stayed in mid-air, looking at everyone condescendingly, that Levi and the others could see clearly that there was a giant beast with a wingspan of more than a dozen under his feet, although it looked like an enlarged version of a bat on the outside, but it was full of extremely inflated muscles all over its body, and there was a giant tail five or six meters long behind it, much thicker than an adult's thigh, and a pair of huge claws were flashing with cold light, looking at it was definitely not easy to mess with, this guy should be a replacement for the previous zombie dragon.
The Moorish knight next to him whispered very hurriedly: "My lord, this is the Horror Beast, one of the top air force units of the undead, and it is a 6th order class!" ”
After seeing the attributes of the Doomsday Messenger Ship clearly, after experiencing the battle with the Araknari Giant Spider, he knew that the 5th order was a watershed, and the strength of the further 6th order troops often underwent earth-shaking changes, so the applicable conditions of the ordinary hero order would be set to the 5th order class, because it was really difficult for them to become a 6th order class, and even in a sense, the latter might be even more difficult!
The 6th-order Horror Beast alone was enough for Levi and them, and with a Lich Master whose strength was completely unknown, Levi and the others looked really fierce and unlucky this time.
In contrast, the Lich Master stole the information about the nine volumes of Nagash from the Red Duke, which did not surprise everyone present, because except for a limited number of people such as Levi and Ophini, no one knew what the word meant.
"Hahaha, you should be glad that after I used the power of the Nine Volumes of Nagash to create a new branch of the undead Death Elves, you were the first living to witness their strength!"
"And after that, I will sweep through Musilon, conquer Sylvania, occupy the entire Old World, and turn it into a paradise for the dead, hahahaha!"
The Lich Master laughed maniacally, and at the same time, his hands began to move, and a large number of Tomb Warrior Black Knights were summoned by him, and the undead who he called the Death Elves launched an attack on Levi and the others.
Levi's side suddenly became under pressure, because these undead who were commanded by the Lich Master, although on the surface they looked no different from the undead who were killed by Levi and others before, but in the actual battle, they found that the opponent's attack power and defense power had obviously increased by more than one grade, even if it was originally only a 3-order Tomb Warrior, the attack power now displayed was almost not inferior to that of ordinary 4-order troops, and the attack power of the black knight or something had increased a lot, The same goes for the death elves.
Even if Ophini summoned the soul to fight with all her might, she couldn't resist the tide of the opponent's attack, it seems that the Lich Master's battle attribute is definitely not low, and his increase in these undead is really too powerful!
But despite this, after Levi specially sent a few younger brothers to inform Duke Bohammond and the Avengers respectively that the Lich Master appeared here, he could only order the troops to grit their teeth and hold on, and a large number of defensive skills and various valuable consumable props were thrown out for a while.
It's not that he doesn't want to run away, but because the other party not only has a large number of black knights, but also a skilled death elf, and there are also lich masters riding frightened beasts, if they escape, they will only die faster.
Now Levi can only hope that the Duke of Bohammond in the distance can receive his information, so as to send reinforcements in time, after all, the other party only needs to send a few Pegasus knights here, and a casual reconnaissance can determine the truth that Levi said, such a big guy as a horror beast stays in mid-air, and the lich master himself can't stop laughing, which is still very attention-grabbing!
The only thing to be thankful for is that the Lich Master probably wanted to test the combat power of these death elves, so he himself didn't cast any offensive spells on Levi and them, otherwise they might not be able to last long.
But despite this, the other party's attack was too harsh, and Levi's troops began to continue to attrition, especially those many subordinates who had just been released from prison, because of the weak state that still existed in their bodies, they often died faster, which made Levi and the others feel a little sorry, and then they all turned into hatred for the Lich Master, obviously it shouldn't be like this, they obviously have greater potential!
But as the battle continued, Levi began to feel a little surprised, because after the battle had been going on until now, why was the Lich Master still chattering and talking nonsense endlessly?
Now he no longer boasted about himself, nor did he look to the future, but began to describe in great detail how he deceived the Red Duke and stole the nine volumes of Nagash that he kept under his close guard, and how after reading the nine volumes of Nagash, he had the idea to study these unique death elves in front of him, which could retain many memories and combat skills in life.
Even in the end, he began to try to discuss with Levi and the others here, how to take advantage of the beastmen's siege of the Great Forest of Athel Loren, and he also went there to slaughter some wood elves, because that is the necessary condition created by the death elves, and this series of things can be regarded as classified information!
Especially in the process of him stealing things, he shouldn't have said it at all, is this guy nervous?
Not only does Levi think so, but the little brothers around him also can't stand the guy in the sky, because he is not only chattering, but his condescending appearance is even more annoying, if it is not for a glance, he can't beat it, and ordinary long-range attacks can't reach that guy at all, they really want to rush up and plug his mouth, he is too good to talk nonsense!
"Boss, this guy can't be crazy, right? Why does he talk so endlessly? ”
"yes, boss, why does he talk about everything like a psychopath?"
"Stealing other people's things doesn't count, it's still stinky and shameless to preach here, ordinary undead people are not as cheeky as him, right?"
"Do Aborigines go crazy sometimes? It can't be that he watched the nine volumes of Nagash, right? ”
One of the younger brothers' words was like an electric current, which instantly touched a certain nerve in Levi's, and he immediately turned his head to look at Ophine, who was busy casting auxiliary magic on his soul to resist the enemy's fierce attack, "Wait, Ophine, do you know that you will go crazy after reading the nine volumes of Nagash?" ”
"Crazy?" Ophini was also a little confused for a while, she really didn't know the answer to this question, because in the past few thousand years, not many people have been able to really find the nine volumes of Nagash, let alone read the things on it!
But looking at the laughing and scheming in mid-air, and talking endlessly about the intrigues and tricks she had arranged in the past, the Lich Master without the slightest masterly demeanor, Orfini couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
"Legend has it that Nagash, who created undead magic, is also the creator of vampires, and if he sets something on the nine volumes of Nagash that only vampires can read, it is not impossible that others will go crazy when they read it...
Leaviston thought about it, so if the other party falls to the ground, maybe we will have a chance?
However, looking at the 6th-order frightened beast, and then looking at his own troops struggling under the onslaught of the other party, Levi immediately calmed down, although it was very tempting, but the probability of success was too low, and the risk was too great, and as the leader of the Warden Guild, he couldn't take this risk, he was not alone now, and one of his wrong decisions would likely cause everyone present to fall into a situation from which they could never recover!
At this moment, there was a very rhythmic tremor on the ground, and then one after another familiar voices rang out, "Levi, you are indeed very courageous, your friend Renard is here!" ”
"Levi, hold on, Tony of the Avengers is here!"
"President Levi, the Mijin Chaebol is here!"
"And me, the sinking fish, the sinking fish of the sinking fish and the wild goose!"
Finally, with the sound of wings flapping, a group of vulture knights and pegasus knights appeared in mid-air, surrounding the Lich Master who still did not stop talking, and the leader was the famous beast butcher Duke Bohammond, and now he had also changed to a vulture, looking at the coat of arms on the sky beast that represented the Dukedom of Paraon, it was obviously the one that Duke Cassion was riding before, and now he temporarily borrowed it.
"Levi, I really didn't misunderstand you, you are worthy of the king, worthy of the goddess. Now, Heinrich, pay the price for the sins you have committed over the centuries, charge! ”
