Chapter 337: Collusion (3rd Update)
In the dark region, a hundred kilometers north of Brimstone City, there is an ancient catacomb, in which many undead creatures are entrenched. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Some of these undead creatures are not weak, including bone armor and bone shooters, as well as plague zombies and ghost spirits.
Only in the main burial chamber, no undead creatures dared to approach.
In the very center of the burial chamber is a large coffin filled with an unknown liquid, and a soulless body, lying inside.
It was a clone.
A soul suddenly appeared and entered the clone, and Elendil pushed the lid of the coffin open and sat up.
Then he stood up.
He was in a bad mood and his face was ugly.
It takes a long time for the soul and the body to fit perfectly, otherwise the strength will decline to a certain extent. Even if it is a clone of the original body, it is impossible to fit completely, and the rejection of the soul by the physical body has affected his spellcasting ability to a certain extent.
"Gavin! Nikolai! Annabelle! Pegasus City! ”
He gritted his teeth and left the main chamber. When those undead creatures saw him, they all took the initiative to avoid him, because the undead aura emanating from his body was enough to make every undead creature here feel terrified.
Elendil went to another room, found a chest, and then used a specific spell circuit to open the rune lock and remove the magic items hidden inside.
A staff, a robe, some less precious magical trinkets. The things prepared for the clones are naturally not as good as the original, so they can only be compromised.
He then left the room and entered another room, activating the teleportation circle carved into the ground.
Soon, he came to a hidden basement in the city of Barov.
Leaving the basement, he was led by a servant to the Lord's Mansion and asked to meet the Lord of the Castle, the patriarch of the Barov family.
Because of his special status, he is the seventh apostle of the Church of the Forsaken, and there is a forgotten mage behind him who is afraid when he hears his name, so even the patriarch does not dare to offend him.
He soon met the patriarch.
No one knows what they talked about.
Half an hour later, a high-ranking Barov tribesman left the city lord's mansion and went to a place that few people knew even in Barov City, and met the more powerful archmage of the Barov family in the name of the patriarch: Elrond Barov.
Ten minutes later, Archmage Barov arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
There were quarrels, roars, reluctance and even fights, but in the end they turned into a sigh.
The guards who were guarding the gate outside, the Barovs and other inhabitants who lived in the city of Barov, and the humans who lived throughout the Barov Mountains, did not know that their fate had changed because of this.
Over the next three days, the Barov patriarch gathered the strongest warriors of the Barov family, gathered them together, and stood by at any time.
At the same time, the Barov patriarch mobilized resources and contacts from all sides, and one by one the messengers rode horses, left the Barov Mountains, and galloped towards various cities in the territory of the Holy Griffin Empire.
The Barov thousand-year-old family has something to do with many of the strengths in the Holy Griffin Empire, and even some of the robbers who crisscross the endless sea are also related to this family.
Elendil and Archmage Barov arrive at the unfinished Mage Tower to transform the teleportation platform and carve runes. Arcane crystals are placed on the platform, and the rich arcane energy is enough to put any senior archmage to shame.
On the third day, when all preparations were made, Archmage Barov retreated to the seventh floor and opened the defense system of the mage tower.
At the same time, Elendil opened the transformed portal.
In this gloomy portal, a high-level lich who was extremely cold and exuded an icy aura walked out. And behind him, a large number of undead creatures swarmed in, and then, under the leadership of Elendil, through a special passage, directly to the sixth floor of the mage tower.
As a result, this unfinished sixth layer has become a world of undead creatures.
The high-ranking lich who was respectfully treated by Elendil and called the "Fourth Apostle" had terrifying powers that made even Archmage Barov palpitate, and had to keep the mage tower's defense system turned on to prevent the high-level lich and those undead creatures from leaving the sixth layer, the undead scourge Cholera Barov City.
On the fourth day, Elendil disappeared again, and no one knew where he had gone.
…………
After leaving Pegasus City, Gavin returned to the Darkblood Fortress and immediately used the Orb of Truth to find Elendil.
It's a pity that I couldn't find it.
The world is too big, and the power of the True Crystal Orb is limited, and Gavin can't do anything about it.
However, it didn't matter, because Elendil would definitely go to Barov City, so he quickly set his sights on Barov City.
Then something strange was discovered.
He made a trip to Brimstone, met Lady Amber in person, learned a few things, and then made a request, or rather a request.
In the afternoon of the same day, all the vampire viscounts were dispatched, leading a dozen vampire barons, and quickly went to the outskirts of the Barov Mountains to intercept the messengers who had gone to ask for help.
On the third day, Gavin noticed that in Barov City, where the unfinished mage tower was located, there was a sudden thick gray aura enveloping it, which was the breath of death.
Gavin knew that his worst fears had finally come to him.
"Elendil persuaded Archmage Barov to use the power of the unfinished mage tower to open a portal to the Western realm of the dead, bringing a large number of undead creatures to the mage tower. This is the most plausible guess in my opinion. ”
In the Sulphur City Lord's Mansion, in a large council hall, Gavin and Lady Amber were ten meters apart, and frowned: "Lady Amber, you know more about the Church of the Forsaken, can you guess what the undead creatures are?" ”
Lady Amber was a little dissatisfied with Gavin's caution, but she didn't show it.
She thought about it for a moment, then said, "It's impossible for a legendary spellcaster to act rashly. Unless you want to start a large-scale war, the legendary spellcasters of the Western Death Realm will not enter the Central Gods Realm, and the Great Guardian, the Pope of Light, and Master Merlin have made an agreement with His Excellency the Great Psychic. Elendil has a good relationship with the Fourth Apostle, and it should be him who came this time. ”
The Fourth Apostle?
Gavin remembered that Teacher Prespo had said that of the seven apostles of the Church of the Forsaken, the first three were all legendary, and the fourth apostle was more mysterious and had always been in the Western Death Realm. If he had come this time, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy to deal with.
"The Fourth Apostle is a high-ranking lich who has lived for hundreds of years and is very powerful." Lady Amber said, "I haven't been to the Western Death Country, so I don't know much about him. However, I have received information that the Fourth Apostle has a legendary-level undead creature under his command, and he also leads an army of undead in the Church of the Forsaken, numbering no less than 10,000. ”
A legendary-level undead creature, an undead army with tens of thousands of undead creatures, is not easy to deal with no matter how you look at it.
"Low-level undead are not difficult to deal with, and a single Death Circle can destroy a lot. I'm worried about another thing. ”
Lady Amber frowned and said, "I have received news that the Barov family has always had some kind of unknown close connection with the Ogre Mountain. If the Barov family and the Ogre Mountain come to an agreement and send troops to attack Pegasus City at the same time, Annabelle's situation will be very dangerous......"
Before Lady Amber could finish speaking, a vampire baron burst into the council chamber with a panicked expression.
At the same time, Gavin's ears rang with Master Nikolai's request for a telepathic connection.
The next moment, they got a message at the same time:
Five thousand ogres left Ogre Mountain and headed in the direction of Pegasus City.
They drove tens of thousands of goblins and gnolls, carrying a large number of shoddy siege weapons, and some refined weapons that came out of nowhere, roaring down from the Ogre Mountain, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
The ogre is ready to storm the city!
