Chapter 323: Mysterious Opponent
Jing discussed the military reorganization war for a period of time, plus Chen Jian's speech in the army! At this time, the alliance army no longer had much problem in terms of unity, and the human soldiers and the alien soldiers had changed from the initial mutual exclusion to the current harmony.
Sophisticated equipment, good scraping, and the addition of a large number of heavy crossbows further improved Jian Chen's phalanx tactics.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Jian Chen immediately sent two legions of Ryan and Adela to carry out military operations against two of the smaller islands of the remaining four islands, and those low-level undead creatures on the islands who had no autonomous consciousness and no organization were completely vulnerable in front of these two armies. In less than three days, the two small islands were officially incorporated into the territory of the Alliance.
The next step, of course, was to try to capture the two largest islands and conquer the Evermont Islands once and for all.
ten thousand
Due to the large number of undead creatures on these two islands, not only a large number of skeletons and zombies, but also the existence of higher-level undead creatures such as ghosts and ghosts, which are not comparable to other islands in terms of quantity and quality. Chen Jian also didn't dare to take it lightly, not only let Ryan and Adra's two legions act together. He also sent Adridrid and a part of the mage legion to help.
In fact, strictly speaking, these two large islands should be said to be one, according to previous explorations. These two. Not only are the ruins of the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon on the island, but there is also a rather majestic bridge that connects the two islands, which is one of the important reasons why Jian Chen put the two islands last before attacking.
Using the Water God Boots, Ryan quickly landed on the largest island with more than 500 soldiers, and he chose a beach where there were relatively few undead creatures and it was convenient for ships to dock, and launched an attack, and soon took control of this beach in his own hands and established a forward position.
Seeing that his movements were going well, Adela began to use the improvised scum ships to prepare to transport soldiers to the islands, which had previously been on the other two islands. That's what the two of them did, in fact, although it took three days to attack the two islands, most of the time was spent on transportation, and the time spent on the real battle was not much, so both of them were a little careless.
At this time, an accident happened, and Ryan, who had been monitoring the movements of the undead around him with his magic eye, found that these undead creatures that were originally wandering around aimlessly suddenly swarmed towards the forward position he had established as if they had received some order, and in the process of advancing, they even formed a simple formation, which made Ryan startled. Look at the other party's scale of no less than 10,000 people. He didn't dare to force himself to fight, so he hurriedly took the more than 500 soldiers to abandon the forward position, and once again used the water god boots to cross the sea and escape.
Seeing this, Adela quickly stopped crossing the sea and ordered the ship to return and stop
Move.
"Something isn't right! Those undead creatures seem to be commanded! After reuniting, Ryan told Adela and Adride what he had discovered, "Is that the one?" Do necromancers exist on the island? ”
Adela frowned and said, "Probably not, I heard that when Pete and they came online, they had very few troops!" If there really is a necromancer, how can he sit idly by and watch Pete take over the other islands and ignore them? They've been wiped out long ago! ”
Ryan shook his head: "Although it is true to say that, there must be someone behind those undead creatures in command, I can't be mistaken, when they attacked me, they even formed a formation!" These low-level spirit creatures simply can't do this without a command! ”
Adria thought for a moment: "Now the situation has changed. Let's be careful, why don't we inform the President of the situation first, and let him send a flying force to explore the two islands again to see if there are any new discoveries! It's never too late to take countermeasures! ”
Ryan and Adela thought about it, and felt that what Adridrid said made sense, and at the moment, the three of them were laying down a defensive line on the seashore while sending someone to report the situation to Jian Chen.
After receiving this information, Chen Jian was also quite surprised, and immediately ordered the three of them to suspend their operations, and then found Tren, who had just returned to the island for a few days: "Mr. Tren, is there anyone other than us in this Evermont Islands?" Ryan: They report that on the largest island, there are people secretly directing undead creatures to fight us! ”
Tren rolled his eyes at Jian Chen, and said helplessly: "Of course there is, didn't I tell you that there are a small number of inhabitants in the Evermont Islands?" You've occupied this place for so long, haven't you even noticed their existence? Didn't you have any contact with them? ”
Chen Jian was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, because it was true that no one had reported that there were other people or races other than undead creatures on this island, and he had always thought that Tren had said it
So he asked people to find Pete again, but Pete was also confused: "Is there anyone else on the island?" We didn't find it when we explored before! ”
Then he thought about it for a while, and then said, "At that time, there were too many undead creatures on those two islands. It just so happened that Esrena, they were going to be looking around, too. Therefore, Orison and I asked Acereena and their angels to help explore these two large islands, but they did not report that they had found information about the activities of people or creatures other than undead creatures, and we ourselves had sent people to land with the Water God Boots, but we didn't dare to go too deep, but we were only active in the periphery, and we never found any signs of other people's activities! ”
Jian Chen touched his nose and asked Tren, "Mr. Trun, what's going on?" Recently, I also sent a flight unit to explore these two large islands, and I didn't find anything abnormal! ”
Tren was also a little stunned when the two said this: "How can this be?" Impossible, right? When I first visited, there were still a few people living on the largest island. They claim to have migrated to this area before by the Cult of the Sun God and the Cult of the Moon God. The descendants of the so-called Catholics of the Holy Land, numbering in the hundreds, live in the southeast corner of the largest island. These people are just ordinary civilians, who live only on threshing and growing small crops every day. It can be said that it is a group of people who have no quarrel with the world. There's no threat, so I didn't mention it to you, but when I came here before, I found that you seemed to be going well, and I thought you had already contacted them and annexed them! ”
Chen Jian couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "Civilians? Hundreds? How did they survive on that island infested with undead creatures? It's unlikely, right? ”
"I asked them about that at the time. Question, but they couldn't say anything, so they knew that staying in that area would not be attacked by undead creatures, and the undead creatures never moved in that area. The boundaries between the two sides are clear! At the time, I even had the illusion that these people were animals in captivity by undead creatures! ”

"Captivity?" Jian Chen couldn't accept such a statement, "This is a little too outrageous!" ”
Tren said in a deep voice, "It's a bit outrageous. But it's not out of the question! I've heard that hundreds of years ago, when necromancy was just developing, there were necromancers who did this, so that they could be stunned by fresh corpses as materials when experimenting with necromancy! Legend has it that the Evermont Islands were also populated at their peak, but later the Helios and the Cult of the Moon went to war, and the Cult of the Moon used immature necromancy when it was about to be defeated. Using the island's inhabitants to create a large number of undead creatures to fight the Helios, the Evermont Islands began to slowly become barren, and in the end, they became what we see now! It was not surprising that the magicians of the Moon God Cult deliberately set aside a place for captive breeding in order to obtain a steady stream of materials for making undead creatures and researching undead magic! ”
Jian Chen and Pete listened with a sense of relief. Jian Chen said even more angrily: "In this way, the Moon God Sect is really an out-and-out cult!" ”
It is acceptable for a necromancer to use the remains of a dead person to create an undead creature Chen Jian, but if he captives a population for the sake of creating an undead creature, it is beyond his bottom line, and there is an essential difference between using the dead and creating a dead person for the sake of using the dead.
Tren sighed: "The Moon God Cult was originally a cult that advocated the dark path, but their rival Sun God Cult was not a good thing, and in historical records, these two sects were under the guise of religion to attract followers to join. It is said that on the Jadami continent, these two powerful sects are fighting each other for the dominance of the continent, so that they will be under the pressure of many forces after it reaches the continent of Erathia. Didn't make a difference! ”
Jian Chen pondered for a while and said, "So to speak." Could it be that the inhabitants of the island are directing the undead creatures to fight us? What is their purpose? ”
Tren shook his head and said, "It stands to reason that these residents are just civilians from Zantun. Probably without the ability to command undead creatures, could it be that some of them have learned necromantic magic over the years and managed to control those undead creatures? ”
Unclear about the situation, Jian Chen stood up a little irritated and walked back and forth a few steps, and finally decided to go to the island to investigate in person: "Mr. Tren." Come with me and you'll lead the way. Let's go to the place you're talking about and find out what's going on! ”
