Hess City, a small city under the jurisdiction of Ye Xiaofei, suffered devastating destruction from the beast clan, most of the houses collapsed, the entire section of the city wall collapsed, and the only gift that did not fall was the lonely city tower. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hess is not lonely, and there are visitors every day: orcs, orcs, undead, and mercenaries lurking in the city of Para.

On the west side of the Pala territory, it is mainly in the form of a mercenary group to infiltrate the defense, silently eliminate the enemies who come across the border, and avoid exposing the entire territory, but, with the outbreak of the war in the starting point city, this one concern is no longer there, and the mercenary group is just habitually carrying out infiltration and attack missions, one to protect themselves, and the other is to more or less cover people's eyes and ears.

Ye Xiaofei wore a black hood, and his wide magician robe covered his body in the dark, and it was no wonder that a team hiding on the city tower thought he was a wandering necromancer.

Necromancers belong to magicians, but low-level necromancers can't even beat a sword and shield skeleton soldier, but once they develop, they can rush thousands of skeletons with a wave of their hands and form a wave of undead, so the necromancer is in the third place on the hunting list, see one by one and kill one.

Quietly, two arrows poked out of the only three or two battlements of the city tower, and a small group of mercenaries were staring passionately at the figure fifty meters away, waiting to get closer, killing with one blow, so as not to disturb the orcs and undead lurking in the city.

Ye Xiaofei's heart didn't jump, he suddenly stopped, looked up uneasily, and looked at the city tower, but it was a deathly silence, and he didn't find anything.

Behind the battlements, the two warriors held their crossbows, and their eyes revealed surprise: "What a powerful necromancer." Inform the head of the regiment, big fish. ”

One person watched, the other hurriedly rushed down, and in the shelter behind the tower, three tents stood tall, and there were no fireworks, like tents forgotten by the owner, making people ignore the past at a glance. However, the man did not call the resting mercenary, but walked to the corner of the city wall, where there was a white skeleton lying quietly in the wind and rain, and what was surprising was that this skeleton was silent, no, it could be said to be beautiful. Generally, after more than half a year of exposure to the sun, people's bones have long been weathered or corroded into slag, but this one in front of me is extremely complete, and there is a jade light flowing in the bones.

"Captain, there are big fish." The mercenary who reported the news was respectful, not even daring to step forward to touch the skeleton that looked like it was asleep, and added: "It seems that like you, it is a powerful necromancer." ”

The skeleton that pretended to be dead gradually moved, the empty eyes of purple light suddenly appeared, and suddenly it burned, and two purple soul fires were the size of pebbles, filling the entire skeleton, and suddenly, the purple flames seemed to overflow, flowing around the body, turning around, as if activating the entire skeleton, crackling.

The mercenary was still in panic, so the skeleton put on a magic robe that was even worse than Ye Xiaofei, and wrapped the burning skull in a net hat. An undead acting as the leader of a human mercenary group, this extremely strange combination, is actually under the jurisdiction of Para City, but obviously, even the top administrator of Para City does not dare to agree.

"What a demon." Ye Xiaofei pointed at the other party with a peach wood hair stick, bent down vigilantly, and said, "Lang Lang Qiankun, you seem to be slow in the middle of the night?" Running out to scare the ghosts? ”

Ye Xiaofei's mood is obviously getting better and better, he knows that Hess City has his own people, if a powerful existence appears, he will definitely know that as for the one in front of him, it is a pig's nose and an onion - pretending to be an image. Naturally, he joked, and besides, he didn't think that the two silver-level crossbows on the castle tower with gold-level crossbow arrows could hurt him. However, the strange man in front of him who was dressed the same as himself made him very curious.

The two black-robed people held their staffs and faced each other in a daze, falling into silence.

It is impossible for a genuine necromancer to speak loudly like a human being, but he has his own method of communication, soul communication.

An invisible ripple was thrown at Ye Xiaofei, meaning: Who are you? Necromancer?

Ordinary people can basically receive it passively, and they can respond immediately, but the immortal weapon Bafang Ding in Ye Xiaofei's mind suddenly stopped, and a blue light stirred, stirring the ripples sent into his mind into powder and throwing it out of his body.

"Hey, talk, you're dumb!" Ye Xiaofei couldn't wait to step forward and pick off the other party's pocket to see if he was a dumb person.

The genuine necromancer ―――――― Quack Quack was also surprised, but he didn't expect to be broken by Ye Xiaofei's soul communication, which was an understatement. looked at Ye Xiaofei vigilantly, and a black amethyst skull skull magic wand appeared in his hand.

", play magic with me?" Ye Xiaofei was disdainful, and the worn-out peachwood magic wand was thrown to the ground, which suddenly broke into two sections and fell innocently to the ground, and although Ye Xiaofei held each ** magic scroll with both hands, his momentum was immediately folded in half.

An imposter magician can only shake the magic scroll and impersonate it, but if a magic can't even keep the magic wand, it's basically over.

The genuine necromancer looked at Ye Xiaofei's half-inserted peachwood staff on the ground, and half of it was still rolling, and was shocked that the soul fire burned, and the entire hat burned, and in an instant, he turned into a burning man. A golden skeleton with purple clouds bloomed strongly.

"Damn, big boss! Hess City actually hides a big guy, how did the information about Para City get it? Ye Xiaofei was taken aback, and smacked his tongue: If you pretend to be a magician again, it is estimated that you will be blown up by the other party, so you should return to your true colors, solve the problem first, and then put on the pen.

Ye Xiaofei shook his hand and shook off the wide magician robe in a chic manner, revealing a close-fitting and exquisitely crafted leather armor, but if you look closely, you will find that it is almost the fur of a fireworks fox, with average protection, but it can maintain the body's body temperature. It is really the best equipment for walking at night and traveling far away.

Bang bang bang -- the city tower on the opposite side seemed to be unable to help it, one by one jumped down from the city tower less than ten meters like dumplings, walked and jogged briskly, and rushed to Ye Xiaofei, the fire swaying.

The mercenary group that saw Ye Xiaofei's face was suddenly shocked, looked at each other, looked at each other's horror, and suddenly, everyone knelt down on their knees and shouted: "I've seen Lord Marquis--"

"Marquis?" Ye Xiaofei was pinching his fingers, snapping, ready to make a big move, but, what's the situation? All on your knees? No, the undead who burned the fire is still standing? Something is wrong, why are you kneeling too?

The genuine necromancer gracefully performed a mage salute and slowly knelt down on one knee to show his submission. Hanging his head with a blazing purple flame lowered, he looked very excited, and his whole body was full of purple flames.

Ye Xiaofei was stunned for a moment and said, "You guys? Kneeling? ”

"Lord Marquis, we are the Eagle Spirit Mercenary Regiment, belonging to the Mercenary Guild of Para City, and we have been ordered to clear and garrison Hess City. Lord Marquis, why are you here? We almost took you for a necromancer. Fortunately, the arrows were not released. ”

Ye Xiaofei set his eyes on the genuine necromancer, and said in surprise: "Get up, who is this?" ”

"Lord Marquis, this is our Commander, Captain Idar." The deputy head of the regiment said suspiciously: "The head of the regiment said that you can't accept his soul fluctuations, and he can't deliver the news." It seems to be blocked by something. ”

Ye Xiaofei patted his head and said, "You wait," his mind was silent, and his consciousness came to the sea of souls in his mind in an instant, and sure enough, Bafang Ding was crazy, and the blue light was agitated.

"Jade body," Ye Xiaofei's consciousness shouted directly, "You ask Bafang Ding not to stir up trouble." ”

As soon as Ye Xiaofei's consciousness came out of the sea of souls, a voice immediately appeared in his mind: "Lord Marquis, do you still remember me?" ”

Ye Xiaofei looked up and down at the golden skeleton that was on fire in front of him, and was even more surprised to see him holding a magic wand, in the second layer of the underground crack, there was hardly a golden skeleton holding a magic wand, and the magician was almost extinct for the undead skeleton. Basically, the mages of the undead are transformed by living beings, and it is rare for people to die, turn into bones, and then possess magic.

Even if there was one standing in front of him, Ye Xiaofei still couldn't figure out how its magic circuit was composed, and even had a kind of disassembly to see how to make a skeleton become a mage with a staff.

"You know me?" Ye Xiaofei turned around and looked up and down at the unfamiliar skeleton in front of him and said, "But? Do I know you? ”

It seems very impolite to be so direct, but Ye Xiaofei really can't figure out where he met such a fiery skeleton, and. The army of the undead should be in the second layer of the underground rift, and they must pass through the dwarven territory and the only silver mine exit before they can appear on the ground, and this is the only way, which is guarded by the dwarves and Ye Xiaofei. I haven't heard of any undead coming out of it.

The only possibility is only one, the orc witch tribe uses necromancy to turn dead humans into skeletons, but the growth of a skeleton takes a long time, and it is absolutely impossible to turn from the most ordinary white bone skeleton into a golden skeleton in less than a year, and it is obviously a mutated skeleton with fire, and the most bizarre thing is that this is a skeleton with a magic wand.

This kind of skeleton, Ye Xiaofei will never forget it as long as he looks at it, but now he really doesn't have a trace of memory in his head, and he is even more puzzled: "You? Do you really know me? I'm human. ”

"Lord Marquis," the necromancer bowed slightly, "I've changed a bit, but do you remember the battle that took place before you attacked Dragon's Tooth City?" ”

"Plains, War of the Dead." Ye Xiaofei's mind immediately came to mind, the orcs broke through Lauercheng and transformed hundreds of thousands of civilians into undead, among them, there was an undead spirit driven by a necromancer, and Ye Xiaofei ran into a decisive battle, and fought a decisive battle in a small plain in the mountains, and the final result was exclaimed: "Which surrendered necromancer are you?" God, your appearance has changed too much. I remember you weren't on fire, you weren't turning into golden bones, yes, you were holding a staff of dry bones, and black bones. How did you become like this? Ye Xiaofei had a ghostly expression.

The necromancer bowed down again and thanked him, saying, "At the beginning, the Lord spared my life, and then the Lord was busy with the Battle of the Broken Dragon Cliff, which was a great and glorious battle. Maybe at that time, the adults will forget about the black me. However, after that, I continued to cultivate, and I applied to Master Pami for freedom and arrived on the Western Front to fight. Then I formed the Eagle Spirit Mercenary Regiment, which was managed by Lord Nok. However, Lord Nok has not returned for a long time, and the Eagle Spirit Mercenary Group has gradually broken away from its original sequence and infiltrated north with Hess City. Stop the Orcs and the Undead from invading. ”

The torches gradually went out, and the members of the mercenary group gradually dispersed, and the open and dark sentinels were on guard everywhere.

However, Ye Xiaofei's curiosity was aroused by the necromancer, and he said, "Your name?" Hidar? As far as I know, a lowly undead, sorry, the undead are the same as humans in my eyes. I mean growing up from the lowest strength, like you, mutation, right? And it's still a golden body, at least, it will take fifty years, but, from your appearance to the present, it happens to be a spring and autumn reincarnation, and your strength makes me feel incredible. ”

One person and one skeleton had already walked up to the city tower, but they all wore mage robes and black hats, looking like two black shadows from a distance, and they couldn't see their faces.

Idar bowed slightly, obviously revering Ye Xiaofei very much, and said: "The Eagle Spirit Mercenary Group was established, we recovered the entire Heth City, and obtained a lot of wealth, I am guilty, I did not hand over all the loot, but privately issued a task to collect as many soul fires as possible." There are countless undead scattered to the west of the territory, and the first enemy of the mercenary group fighting on the Western Front must be the undead, as long as they cut off their skulls and ensure that the soul fire is not extinguished, they can complete the task. Therefore, I have a steady stream of soul fire, and almost half of the undead on the entire battlefield on the Western Front have been sent to me. So—"

"The whale swallows the undead of the entire Western Front battlefield, a massive amount of soul fire, no wonder you can eat the flames and bubble out." Ye Xiaofei frowned and said, "Hess City is just a small city, it has been sacked by orcs a long time ago, how can it support the wealth you consumed?" ”

"Lord Marquis, you are indeed the wisest." Idar knelt down abruptly and pleaded: "The sins of his subordinates deserve death." ”

Ye Xiaofei frowned and said, "You won't rob your own people?" ”

"No, no," Idar said urgently, "Lord Marquis, his subordinates have launched a private operation to plunder the orcs near Dragon's Tooth City, and the wealth they have transferred back to China from the south has been taken away by their subordinates. That's why there is so much wealth, my lord, my subordinates acted without permission, and they embezzled the spoils of war, and asked my lord to condemn him. ”

"What's going on?" Ye Xiaofei's brows furrowed, this matter is not a big deal, rely on your own ability to make money to support yourself, in the past, but, it is not small to say that it is not small, if the entire Western Front battlefield is done like this, then do you want the territory? Who's to blame for incurring the enemy's retaliation?

"This thing? Pami's guy doesn't even know? ”

"Mistress Pami knows." "Half of the loot was sent to the military headquarters. ”

"Oh." Ye Xiaofei rolled his eyes and muttered: "Since Pami knows, he naturally has a plan, okay, I don't blame you for this matter, if something goes wrong, you can confess Pami, and he will end it for you." However, what I'm curious about is that the orcs who escort the loot must be elite, how many people can you have in an Eagle Spirit mercenary group? Dare to snatch food from the hands of the orcs, the most important thing is that you have succeeded, and listening to your tone, it is not only once. How many people are in your Eagle Spirit Mercenary Regiment? Get up. ”

"Lord Xie," Idar arched his hand again, and then said: "There are eight hundred people in the Eagle Spirit Mercenary Regiment, all of them are the best mercenaries, the best equipment, and we are currently infiltrating the north, one is to capture more undead, and the other is to widen the buffer zone in case of accidents." My lord, there is still a unit under him. ”

When a necromancer grows to the point in front of him, he will naturally form his own army of undead, which is the same as the warrior who wants to take a weapon and the archer can't do without the bow and arrow, which is a professional instinct. And the professional instinct of a necromancer should be to form an army of undead.

However, Ye Xiaofei wanted to poke his eyes with the urge to blind himself.

With the hooves of a flaming horse, black heavy armor covering his body, and a horse covered with war armor, an undead knight strode in from the cave with his head held high and a spear and blade. Not a horseman, but a pair of horsemen came slowly from the darkness.

"Lord Marquis," Idar pointed to the knight and said, "Death Knight, almost one step away from stepping into the spirit level, this is the legion I have put all my strength into, a total of eight hundred horsemen, I have selected from the hundreds of thousands of undead who have been sent over on the entire Western Front, one in a hundred, it is not an exaggeration, and each of them has seen blood, and has extremely rich combat experience." ”

The first thing that flashed in Ye Xiaofei's mind was the figure of the Praetorian Iron Lion, his personal guard, known as the most elite troops in the entire territory, but, compared with the eight hundred undead cavalry in front of him, it seemed that there was something missing, and thousands of people were compared. There were only three hundred Iron Lion of the Praetorian Guard, but eight hundred of the Death Cavalry.

"Idar," Ye Xiaofei said in surprise, "I now believe that you have the strength to rob the orc troops." This team of eight hundred death knights, estimated to have no tenfold enemies, is not qualified to fight against them. ”

"Lord Marquis," said Hidal, "if you like, these eight hundred death knights will follow your lordship." ”

At this time, Idar is like a male who lays eggs, and the Hundred Death Knight is eight hundred eggs.

Ye Xiaofei is very greedy, laying eggs, cocks and eggs, he wants. Immediately, the thief laughed.

Idar's whole soul trembled slightly, and he subconsciously took a step back, looking at Ye Xiaofei's thief eyes, becoming more and more uneasy.

"Idar," Ye Xiaofei said very gently, "Come here, I'll tell you a little secret." ”

Ye Xiaofei whispered, Idar listened carefully, nodded in agreement from time to time, and finally suddenly saluted Ye Xiaofei: "My subordinates swear to follow the Marquis." ”

"Well, okay," Ye Xiaofei beckoned with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Go ahead, explain the future, let's set off immediately." ”

As for what Ye Xiaofei and Idar said, it has always been a mystery. However, Idar followed Ye Xiaofei with all his heart and did not hesitate to embark on the road of no return.

After a while, there were bursts of exclamations from the downstairs of the city.

"Commander, are you leaving?"

"Don't, the Eagle Spirit Mercenary Group can't do without you."

"Commander, what should you do when you leave, brothers?"

――――――――

Hess City is small, and who would have thought that there is an undead ghost who opposes the orcs at every turn. Ye Xiaofei climbed onto an undead horse with fire on his feet, his empty bones were flustered, and he could only give in to walking. Next to him was Idar, who was also wearing a big black mage robe, and was reluctantly waving goodbye to the Eagle Spirit Mercenary Group who saw them off.

Ye Xiaofei estimated that if the undead have tears, this guy will shed a few drops, it seems that the feelings between people and the undead cannot be separated even by race.

"Idar," Ye Xiaofei repeated again, "Are you sure?" If you want freedom, I'll give you freedom right away, just find a place to hide and wait for the chaos to end. ”

When the era of chaos is over, it's time for the continent to settle down.

Idar looked at the farewell Eagle Spirit Mercenary Group without looking back, and said: "Lord Marquis, I can't resist the conditions you offered, so don't tempt me anymore, Idar's life, from today onwards, is yours." ”

"Idar, let's go!" Ye Xiaofei was afraid to speed up the undead horse under the seat, and said, "We still have a long way to go. ”

The two black robes danced wildly in the wind, and the eight hundred death knights followed. Disappear into the night.
