Chapter 1552: Old Acquaintances?
The so-called Ghost Fire is the Flame of the Nether Dead, and it is also one of the great destruction spells of necromantic magic. Unlike the normal flames made by the casters, the temperature at which they burn is not too high, which means that they will be able to burn the wood and masonry. It's nothing compared to some powerful fire spells that melt steel at every turn.
However, its main damage does not rely on the heat of the flames, but rather a fairly powerful shock wave and extremely harsh sonic damage, and it also carries an effect infinitely close to a mental blow like a banshee's howl. In addition, the temperature of the fire just activated the undead corpse poison during the period, and it splashed around with sparks, which also completed the spread of the plague, which the undead lords loved the most. The poisonous corpse poison constantly torments the sick creatures, and most of their souls cannot bear this pain that seems to never see the end, and will be bewitched when they lose their minds and are half-asleep. They begged the plague lord for forgiveness, and thus directly met the most important condition for direct degeneration into the undead after death.
In addition, ordinary people who were directly burned by the phantom fire, leaving behind a skeleton, also have a certain chance of directly becoming a "resurrected" skeleton. Although this kind of skeleton that has not been darkly purified by the necromancers is the lowest level of miscellaneous soldiers in the undead sequence, and theoretically cannot even be defeated by an ordinary adult woman - if the other party is not frightened - it is also a method of rapid violence for the undead lords.
This is also a high-level spell in necromancy, although it does not play a big role for transcendents with extremely strong physical fitness and mental power, but the killing of ordinary people can definitely have the effect of clearing the field of map cannons, and it is terrifying.
What if such a spell suddenly exploded in an unsuspecting residential area? As mentioned earlier, with the complete liberation of the Henas Peninsula, Daroshul is already transforming into a trading city with transit transportation, and in less than two years, the population of ordinary residents has almost doubled.
How many ordinary citizens were killed by the flames in their sleep, and how many people were turned into slaves of the undead lords in an instant by the negative energy in them, Sehireu hardly dared to think about it now.
"So, that's your choice?" Andreil looked at the two generals whose faces turned pale for a moment: "The heroes who fought against the undead, for the sake of your so-called political stance and choice, would rather put the ordinary people you swore to protect on the altar?" ”
"It's not me, don't talk nonsense, I didn't ......" After a long while, General Denan finally said in a particularly unspirited tone: "This, this has nothing to do with us." ”
At this moment, his whole person's spirit was weakened, although he was surrounded by hundreds of iron armor, but at this moment, he didn't even seem to have the courage to face the eyes of the two girls.
"Those people, they really ......" General Kahlavi's cheeks twitched even more, and he didn't know if it was because of anger or sadness. His burly body slumped down at a speed visible to the naked eye, making him look even older than his age.
"General, take your subordinates and hurry up to save people!" Sehireu said loudly.
The soldiers were still a little hesitant, but they heard the old general say: "You guys, go and sound the alarm and mobilize all the manpower to go to the residential area to rescue...... Then, uh, during the rescue, take orders from Colonel Ulysses and Major Moore for the time being. ”
The two girls breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn't think that the hundreds of people on the scene could really do anything to them, if the time dragged on for too long, they didn't know what the situation would be like in the residential area. What's more, they don't want to really be enemies of these federal soldiers who have military merits.
"Thank you for your judgment." Andrell Road.
The two generals smiled bitterly, their faces turned pale, and they did not speak again. If it were on weekdays, the kind-hearted Sai Xiliu might have comforted the other party, but now he really doesn't have such leisure.
As a result, this well-arranged small "Hongmen Banquet" was solved in such a beginningless and tailless way.
Seyleu and Andreel stepped onto the puppet wolf one after the other, and quickly rushed in the direction of the explosion in the residential area.
"You guys, set up temporary resettlement sites on the school grounds, so that medicines and medical staff are on standby. Set up outposts, checkpoints, and quarantine areas at the gates of the barracks, and prepare the prophetic mages. All the people were sent to the school field for placement, and the injured and infected with corpse poison were isolated for observation first! Playing on the large puppet wolf, Andreel shouted orders all the way to the soldiers who heard the news.
Most of the Eastern Legionnaires didn't know her, but after all, the general's guards and heralds were following the scene, and Andrel, who was riding on a huge iron wolf, was full of aura after all, and the order was fully carried out.
"That cathedral with a bell tower, well, is it newly built? Ask the clerics there for help, and temporarily requisition the church as a temporary command on the front line, and let all the battlemages assemble there. And you, go to your respective immediate superiors. Tell them to go into the civic area and gather the citizens. Keep in mind that you need to gather at least twenty or more troops to advance. Each squad must bring anti-corpse poison and anti-freeze alchemy items, and if you encounter an undead lord or a large group of undead troops, you are not allowed to fight, and report to the front command immediately! ”
Andreil marched forward with only methodical command. What made her a little relieved was that although the combat effectiveness of the Sixth Army had declined rapidly in the past two years, it was still much stronger than other road specimens, and although there were too many recruits and seemed a little panicked, it was still able to panic without panicking.
At this stage, Sehiliu also took the opportunity to use the tactical guide to complete the communication with Akdina on the ship.
"Did you see Fang Cai's explosion?"
"I can't even see it from the newly built stargazing platforms on Samui Island and Namoa Mountain, dozens of kilometers away." The voice of the little girl Drow came from the guide: "Such a powerful ghostly fire, either it is a joint spell, or it must be a master of necromancy. ”
"Well, if it's really the latter one, it feels more troublesome."
"So, Sister Sehiru, do you need us to come and help? Now Colonel Ofresha's stormtroopers are ready. ”
The colonel, who is more Nord than most Nords, is an official fan, but his business is really good. If the troops in the federal capital are all road specimens, then the stormtroopers under his command are the most capable of fighting road specimens. Although there are only more than 100 people, if you face ordinary undead soldiers, even the bone guards and iron bone zombies that have been strengthened by the undead lords are enough to defeat more than ten times the enemy.
Sai Xiliu just wanted to say yes, but he didn't know what to do, but he closed his mouth and muttered for a while, and then said, "No, let everyone be ready to set sail at any time." ”
"Set sail? So, you're still in the city, aren't you? ”
"So be prepared...... I've always felt that since we arrived in Daroshul, everything has been weird. However, if you are on a white boat, it will at least be safer. ”
"Well, I see. Don't worry, Sister Sehiru, as long as it is on the white ship, even if Kazan is resurrected, we don't have to be afraid, we will definitely be able to hold on until reinforcements. ”
"Reinforcements? Who are you talking about? Andrel, who had just finished giving orders, couldn't help but ask. As a result, there was no more sound on the tactical power guide side.
Neither Sehireu nor Akdina mentioned the attack on the Orushero. The former knew very well that since the two generals had worshiped a "Hongmen banquet", there was absolutely no reason to let go of the white boat on the dock. The reason why I didn't mention it was naturally to the little friends on the ship, of course, the main thing was that Akdina was very confident. The latter was not mentioned because the trend of the situation was really not worth mentioning, and neither the result nor the process set off any storms.
In fact, if there is no Akdina on board, the outcome is really hard to say. After all, the sneak attack men sent by Kahlavi and Denan will definitely be their sworn friends, and they will definitely be the elite of the legion. If all goes well, you can succeed if you try to touch Elichar's garrison fortress. However, they meet Akdina, a young girl who combines the skills of the Rainbow Rose and the Dark Regions...... Well, on the white boat, this little girl of drow is the youngest and most harmless-looking, but the most dangerous.
The Raiders' Battle Mages cast the Warriors with the Grace of the Cat and the Shadow of the Crowd. The former, as the name suggests, is to make people act as silently as cats, even if they are wearing heavy armor and carrying a mace, it is like a soft cushion on the soles of their feet. The latter is to borrow the staggered actions between light and shadow on a large scale to cover up the figure when it moves to the greatest extent.
The first two are very "popular" stealth magic, which is naturally much worse than the methods used by the Dark Brotherhood and the Faceless to play darkness, shadows, and hiding to the extreme, but it is enough to make most scouts and vigilance methods useless. If the caster can still be a "group", it will be even more difficult, and he will be worshiped as a guest wherever he goes.
In addition, the first raider captains to infiltrate also brought a Shadow Vault scroll. To put it bluntly, in the event of an emergency, this Vault Scroll can hide everyone in a closed dimensional enchantment, covering all breath and most dangers. Of course, if you encounter a supreme master of dimensional space operations, such as the wind or an abyss lord, this "shadow shelter" will not be safer than a thatched house. But the problem is that the top space masters also have to eat, sleep, sell cute, sing, study dramas, and often have to roll out of bed with someone...... I mean, playing mahjong, it's impossible to always turn your spiritual sense to the maximum to catch the subtle fluctuations in the space around you.
All in all, when stealth, the "Shadow Shelter" is a magic that can have a life-sustaining effect 99% of the time, and the ring energy level is not high, but the practicality is very good.
The fact that the raiders were so well prepared shows that they have indeed planned for a long time, and on the other hand, it also shows that they are elite. It's a pity that I met Akdina, who was also prepared.
Before Sai Xiliu was about to go to the banquet, the few gentle taps on the tactical guide were the code words of "pay attention and be vigilant" to the other party.
She is the eldest disciple of the generation of the Colorful Rose Island. A spell like "Domain of Nothing", which is invulnerable in attack and defense, of course, she can't use it for a while. However, with the method of analyzing all laws like the Laxis forbidden spell system, the blue-consuming "Domain of Nothingness" was slightly reduced by a few energy levels, combined with Akdina's own understanding of illusion - elves are always better than humans in this regard, and finally combined with the night god magic of the night goddess Leto's system, it formed a domain-type magic that she called "The Domain of Infinite Escape".
Enemies who enter the "Realm of Nothingness" will receive a constant stream of primordial magic power, and even gods will take effective damage. And the "Boundless Domain", which has been lowered by a few energy levels, will make all targets within its range fall under the supervision of the caster - unless the opponent has a treasure-level secret prop and a law-level stealth ability - if the mental power is a little weaker than the anti-magic ability, it is very likely that they will fall directly into the illusion and die in a daze.
From this point of view, among the next generation of disciples of the Colorful Rose lineage, who currently shows an interest and talent in the study of the Demon Dao, it seems that it is really this little girl who is Zhuoer...... Well, although all of her research on the Demon Dao is oriented towards combat, she doesn't have the sense of social responsibility of the previous generations of leaders who "live to change the world".
The first invading raiders numbered thirty people. Their purpose was to invade the interior of the ship, destroy the Oruseiro's guiding engines, and then tear apart the powerful hypnotism of the crowd carried by the ship's hull in the very center of the ship. In this way, it will be possible to use bloodless suppression. In this way, Kahlavi and General Denan really have no special ill will towards everyone on the white ship, at least they are not prepared to do anything about it. It's probably really like they say, hoping to put everyone under house arrest until the dust settles.
Since people are not ready to kill them, Miss Drow doesn't want to do things desperately. Of the thirty people who invaded, all but a few who were particularly fierce or unaware of the situation and bumped into the knife edge, the rest were all captured. Although they suffered a lot, at least they survived and did not suffer any serious injuries.
Just as the captain of the raiders was trying his best to convey the news of the "mission failure" to the outside world, all the gun doors on the side of Orucello were opened, facing the dock warehouse area not far away. The muzzles of dozens of black holes can make everyone who knows and who doesn't know scare. The strong man felt as if he was a thief who was about to attack the dragon but accidentally woke it up; The dragon didn't immediately attack in a rage, but stared at himself closely. I could even smell the smell of burning blood in the big mouth full of sharp teeth.
As for the latter, I guess I haven't figured out the situation in a daze. No, a few wingmen in charge of port security had already flown over from afar - they had a long time to react, indicating that the combat effectiveness of the legion had indeed weakened a lot. But after all, they still rushed over, which shows that even if it is weakened, there is still a bottom line. This is probably the pride of "the only army in the whole federation that can fight" back then.
Sounds really sad.
Neither the Legion nor the Federation is ......
Then, there was a loud "boom". With a loud sound that resounded throughout Darroshure, and a faint green fire that could be seen clearly in the sky and mountains within a radius of hundreds of miles, it suddenly rose.
The wings froze, and of course, so did the large forces of raiders who were hiding in the docks.
"Leave them alone. Always ready to set sail! Akdina instructed everyone on board. In the absence of Sesileu and Andrel, the youngest of the crew (biological age) inexplicably took over the command, and no one seemed to find it strange.
"These people...... Hmph, let's get off the boat. The little girl looked at the dazed captive, waved her hand in disgust, as if she was sending away a bunch of garbage, and then said loudly: "Everyone work hard and continue to maintain combat readiness." The gun doors are kept open, and every third gun position is guaranteed a vitality group. The main guns, in particular, must be guaranteed a group per gun! Be ready to fire at any time! ”
"Hmm...... That, little Dina...... Oh no, Miss Charamis, where are our main guns going to be aimed at? Battleships of the docks? "Rachel? Olentien asked cautiously on behalf of all the crew members who were frightened by Lori.
"No, over there!"
Everyone looked at each other. The direction that Zhuoer pointed to was the sea of clouds in the sky due west, which was also the direction in which everyone came.
Let's not mention how everyone on board will prepare. On this side of the city, Sehireu and his party also approached the center of the explosion. Here, they were met by Major Lorens, who was gray-faced and wounded, and retreated. All of his men were wounded, ranging from lacerations that looked like they had been cut by giant claws, to obvious frostbite and death invading corpse poison.
"Sure enough, you met a high-level undead, right?"
"Why, I've met a lich!" Major Lawrence said helplessly: "Although the skeleton shelf is wearing a tattered cloak, at first glance I thought it was a miscellaneous soldier, but as soon as I struck, it was three bone souls and a forest of bones, and I killed several of my brothers at once." This kind of guy is not something that my group of recruits can deal with, so it's better to leave it to your experts. ”
"Well, wise judgment." Andrell approvingly.
On the contrary, if the major and his subordinates were brave and reckless, and finally all of them were destroyed and sent corpse materials to the other party, Andreel would not only not sympathize with them, but would even curse a few words.
"Besides, I think he may be a familiar ......," the Major seemed to have something to say to Sehiru, but his words were interrupted by a sudden "Boom."
Immediately afterward, a skeletal shelf draped in a gray cloth cloak rode a ghoul and eight others out of the smoke and dust on the opposite side. It glanced condescendingly at everyone, and although it was a skeleton of bones that could not be seen, all of them managed to feel the arrogance and arrogance of the other...... Of course, there was a noticeable lag when it came to seeing Sesileu and Andreel, who had done much higher than it.
"Hmph, pretending to be a lackey of the Alliance...... Wait, it's you! He pointed at Sehireu and suddenly shouted, "It's you!" Ahahahaha, this is the favor of the Great Will for me! He actually sent the enemy to me! What about the little girl who was with you last time? Where is she? ”
“…… Uh, this, Sehireu, your friend? ”
"How is that possible? I don't remember any lich I knew well. ”
"Let me, the great Doctor of the Council of the Dead, Lord Sandru, the future Lich King, let you once again experience the horror of being dominated by the power of the dead!"
