When the mage towers on the mountains on both sides were attacked, the entire command system of the redstone fortress seemed to have been hit in the head, and it was instantly stunned. (The fastest update speed is all in the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) because if the defenders in the city are still prepared for the undead who appear on the front of the redstone fortress, then they are not prepared at all for the undead who appear on the mountains on both sides.
The Mage's Tower is built on top of the hills on either side, and both of these mountains face the steep walls of Andoson that are hundreds of meters high. Because of this, no one would have imagined that those undead could climb hundreds of meters of mountain with their bare hands and rush to the front of the mage tower. Although there is a passage inside the fortress that leads directly to the lower position of the mage tower, and in the event of a more critical situation, both mage towers can float in the air for a period of time and distance, but the mage tower is flying, not the pedestal. Losing the support of the strong ** magic power on the peaks on both sides is equivalent to two fists for the Redstone Fortress as if the fingers were suddenly chopped off by two fists.
Originally, for a redstone fortress, it had two mage towers as a spell support, and it had extremely strong attack and defense. The real power of those two mage towers that can float in the air is definitely not comparable to one or two magic crystal cannons, and it can even be said that even the magic guide cannon, which can be called a nuclear bomb, may not be comparable to the two mage towers. Although the magic cannon is huge, the range is too long, and if it gets close, it is estimated that even the redstone fortress itself will be enveloped in it. Therefore, although the fortress has a magic cannon as the hole card at the bottom of the box, there is no way to use it in this situation, and it is estimated that even the gate of the fortress will be gone.
The army of the undead that suddenly appeared in front of the Redstone Fortress could be said to be the first fist of the undead, and the undead who appeared around the mage tower were the second fist, and these two combination punches were fast, accurate, and ruthless, and directly blinded the commanders of the Redstone Fortress. Originally, Baron Zaf's soldiers were to replenish the defenders on the city walls, but now they were all thrown into the bottomless pits on the peaks on both sides. It is naturally dangerous for the undead to climb hundreds of meters of mountain cliffs, but those soldiers are also out of breath after running frantically and rushing to the top of the mountain at a height of several hundred meters.
As for the reasons for this situation? Quite simply, it was a gray-red fog that was being blocked by the mages of the army with blast magic. The fog was originally grayish-white when it rose. As if it were an ordinary thick fog, it was this fog that obscured the march route of the undead. Although the fortress occasionally discharged patrols into the fog, where they could not see their fingers, the undead deliberately evaded the patrolling cavalry under the control of the commander. In the end, the undead with special sight succeeded in fooling the cavalry who only had the vision of ordinary people, and all the news reported by the spies was that there was no one in the fog. If a patrol of cavalry says that there is no one, it may be lazy, but if there are ten or twenty cavalry, it cannot be said that they are lazy. If Baron Zaf or Baron Zizama had said so, it would not have been the cavalrymen who would have troubled them first, but their head, Count Marc Krachi.
Wait until the fog turns gray-red. The undead had already rushed through the wilderness to less than three kilometers from the Redstone Fortress. At this time, the scouts sent out were attacked almost simultaneously by the undead who came to this mist, and if it weren't for the luck of a small group of scouts, they escaped with their lives. I guess until the undead crawled under the walls, the commanders of the Redstone Fortress were still in the dark. As for who are the thieves who found the undead? It wasn't until later that Chen Kai knew that it was Fei Yun, a bastard boy, who was lucky enough to escape back to the Redstone Fortress, but what made him angry was not that the other party hid it from him and ran to be a scout for a skill book that strengthened Shadow Escape, but that he was angry that he knew that the undead were attacking the Redstone Fortress but did not roar on the team channel.
However, Chen Kai can't blame Fei Yun entirely. In fact, it was a fateful fact that he was able to run back to the fortress, or that the scouts he followed would have had it not for the help of the Evil Detection Scroll he had purchased from the Priest Kochia. I guess I'll have to die in the fog like the other scouts now, instead of panting in front of the highest commander of the Redstone Fortress.
At the same time, Fei Yun didn't want to yell in the team channel, but because he found that in the fog, all kinds of communication of players were blocked by the system. According to the system, he can't use the team channel in a special environment, and if he wants to contact Chen Kai, he has to leave for a while, and then contact the other party through the communicator outside the game. By the time Fei Yun told the others about the situation in the fog, everyone felt that this might be a way to develop the game's battles in the future. Because the player's means of communication in the game are too rebellious, not only does the system map have a stronger terrain help effect, but the communication ability is even more terrifying. The system is restricting the means by which the player's hands can interconnect in various ways, making changes in the battlefield more difficult to capture. This also makes it necessary for players who want to profit from war to have a higher level of military literacy. Of course, this kind of fog has not appeared in player battles so far, and it is estimated that it will only appear in the later stages of the game, when lord players begin to gradually enter the stage, when players fight each other.
But now this fog who doesn't know what the name is is still bullying the aborigines, of course, bullying Chen Kai and other players by the way. Although the gray fog of the past was not harmful, when the fog turned gray-red, no one would feel that the fog was safe. Because of this, in addition to the casters stationed in the mage tower, the low-level casters who accompanied the army on the walls were all trying to use blast magic to block the fog from surging up the walls. Although the blast spell is a spell of the wind elemental mage, the caster in the game still creates a mutated blast spell. Instead of using the wind element to puff up air currents, it directly simulates the power of the wind element with magic is air flow. Although it cannot create a strong wind of seven or eight magnitudes, it can create a small wind of three or four magnitudes. Combined with the Wind Elemental Mage's release of a genuine Wind Blast Spell, the wind can become extremely powerful. It's just that this method is very mana-intensive. It can only resist for the time being, but it can't completely reduce the gray-red mist that is constantly spreading.
Although Chen Kai didn't know what these gray-red mist were made of, it didn't prevent him from judging that these mist were manipulated by someone. If this gray-red mist wasn't manipulated. Then they should be reversed after being blocked by the blast technique, instead of colliding with the air flow generated by the blast technique as they are now, and finally the replacement is lifted to form a wall of fog up to 100 meters high. Anyone who sees the rising fog strength will feel uneasy, coupled with the spell explosions and shouts of killing from the peaks on both sides, although the battle on the city wall has not yet begun, but the morale is constantly being hit invisibly. Especially the undead who attacked the mage tower on the mountain peak, as if it was specifically designed to demoralize. Grab the soldiers and drop them off the peaks. The terrible screams that came from the air hit the hearts of all the guards as if hammers were striking their hearts.
Although Chen Kai is not the garrison officer of the entire city wall, because of his outstanding attire, he has vaguely become the most eye-catching or the backbone of that section of the city wall. Feeling the scorching and expectant gaze around him, Chen Kai felt very uncomfortable on his back. Although he knew that the defenders of the city walls needed to be cheered on, he knew even more about the outcome of being an outsider directing the battle. Don't look at Chen Kai's relatives who saved the commander of the Red Stone Fortress, Count Makratsch, that is, Viscount Andoske, but if Chen Kai really interfered in the command of the city wall without authorization, then he would be dragged out and cut down by Markratsch in the end.
Even if Chen Kai was drafted to fight on the city wall, the conscription order only allowed him to participate in the battle alone rather than command the battle, even if Chen Kai had the title of lord or even a knight order. He could not enter the battlefield with the Order or his own knightly squires. Instead, he can only enter the battle alone as a small soldier, and Chen Kai now has neither attendants nor a knight regiment by his side, so this conscription order player is aimed at him alone. Therefore, although he has the ability to command soldiers to fight, he can't show that once he comes out, the most merits and demerits will be offset, and if there is no merit, then he will be cut off directly. Chen Kai has already been used as a substitute for the death ghost by the upper nobles of Andorson. So even though he knew that the commander of the Redstone Fortress wouldn't treat him as a substitute, he wasn't willing to gamble with his own life.
In fact, in the face of the current situation, the commander of the Redstone Fortress, Count Markrac, has no choice, the only thing he can do is to turn his eyes to the mage towers on both sides, and at the same time constantly send heralds to dispatch troops. The most important thing is to send people to gather the personnel of all the temples in the fortress to investigate the composition of the gray-red mist. In the end, His Excellency the Earl got two pieces of news, one good news and the other bad news. The good news is that the mages who unleash the blast spell can hold out for at least ten minutes, which is enough time for Baron Zaf to deploy enough soldiers to garrison the city walls. But the bad news directly turns the value of the good news into waste, that is, there is something wrong with those gray-red fogs, which contain terrifying evil powers.
Although these forces do not allow a soldier to quickly lose his combat effectiveness. But it will definitely slowly make a soldier lose his strength in a short period of time, and the result will be the same, but the time of effect will be different. Count Markratchi had reason to believe that when the increasingly high wall of gray-red fog poured down in the sky, it would be the time when the undead would launch a complete attack. Or maybe when the gray-red mist has flipped all the soldiers, it's time for the undead to enter the fortress without hindrance.
"What should I do now? Everybody! Don't be silent, remember that you are the commander of the fortress, and if the fortress falls, my family and yours will be buried with us! His Majesty the Emperor may be generous, but the greedy guys of the noble senate will never let go of this golden opportunity to divide our family's wealth. "The words of Count Markratchi poured out the strict problem that now exists in the Rohan Empire, that is, imperial power. The state of opposition between the noble senates. Or rather, a state of tripartite opposition. It's just that most of the time, the third party, that is, the noble mage, is attached to these two parties a lot of time, at most it is a little more time to remain neutral.
"I heard that the Temple of Life now has a holy sacrifice. Her aura power can dispel evil aura and the range is very large, I think she should be able to block those mist and then eliminate them! An official who was obviously very familiar with the newcomers to the Redstone Fortress racked his brains and thought of Chen Yi, although he didn't know if Chen Yi would be able to dispel those gray-red mist, but in this situation, he could only use dead horses as live horse doctors.
"Then why don't you go to the Temple of Life and bring that holy sacrifice to the city!" Enraged, Count Markratsch almost threw the teacup in his hand at the official's head, but he held back at last, knowing why the other man didn't do it. If Chen Yi was an adventurer who stayed outside the temple, then this official had every reason to recruit the other party, but now that Chen Yi was firmly protected by the temple because of the recent molestion incident, this official had no way to directly recruit the other party. Of course, Count Markratch didn't know about the molestation, but that didn't stop him from understanding the current state of the temple.
"Remember to invite the other party to the city wall!" These were the last words that Markratchi said when he asked the official to go to Chen Yi. And this sentence also led to zhì In the end, Chen Yi was respectfully carried to the city wall in a carriage.
Although the officials of this redstone fortress were fast enough, when Chen Yi was sent to the city wall like the queen mother, the magic of those spellcasters was about to run out. If Chen Yi came up later, it was estimated that he could see off these spellcasters directly.
"Girl! How did you get up? Chen Kai stood above Chen Yi's head, his current position was the highest part of the city wall, not the front of the city wall where Chen Yi was at all. In order to maximize the effect of the aura, Chen Yi could only take the risk of walking to the front of the city wall. Of course, she was now accompanied by at least eight high-level guardian knights from the Temple of Life, so Chen Kai was not worried about the safety of the other party at all. It's a pity that Chen Yi doesn't have time to talk to Chen Kai at all. Even if she didn't even have time to use the team channel, she began to test the effect of the aura power on the gray-red mist not far away after entering the city wall. In order to facilitate her test, several spellcasters gritted their teeth and slowly approached Chen Yi with the gray-red mist.
At first, it was a low-level sacred place aura, but unfortunately, although this aura power was used to suppress the gray-red mist, it could not be completely dispelled. After a series of attempts, Chen Yi discovered that only the aura power of Divine Purification could dispel these gray-red mist, a discovery that made the eyes of some priests and priests of other temples shine. Know that Divine Purification is not limited to the Temple of Life. In fact, each temple has the divine technique of divine purification, but many of them are single divine techniques, unlike the holy sacrifices of the Temple of Life, which can be released with an aura. Although it was impossible to release the range, these priests and priests were of a higher level than Chen Yi, and their magic power was even longer, so when Chen Yi's aura had an effect, the magicians and priests of the other temples who had mastered the Divine Purification Technique similar to Divine Purification began to show their power.
Nothing is more effective in directly displaying the power of the gods when winning over believers, and golden or pale golden rays of light appear in the air and shoot into the dense fog, constantly reducing the evil aura in the mist. Seeing this, Count Markratche's face instantly turned the color of pig liver, which was not happy but angry. If it weren't for Chen Yi's use of the aura power of divine purification, this mist could have been dispelled. It is estimated that all the people of the temple will not make a move, and instead of performing hard to attract believers as they do now, as if magic does not need to consume mana.
"Dear Bill~! What do you see these fools doing? Your teacher just used his brain a little bit to play these idiots! Use magic to reduce the evil power in the mist, and I'll see what they can do with them when they run out of magic to unleash magic to block my undead knights! "It's none other than the official black-robed spellcaster Amma? Lagas. Beside him was Bill, who had managed to recover his body? Polly, the former Lord of Andoson whose head was burned by holy water is lying on Amma like a well-behaved kitten at the moment? On Lagas's lap, accepting the other party's caresses, she also made a cat-like whirring sound from time to time.
"Runash! Get your men ready, it's time for you to play! I wonder what those of your colleagues would think of you when they see you now! I'm looking forward to the expressions of those people! After the fall, the death knights who were completely undead don't know how much stronger they were than the black knights? "With Amma? Ragas's words fell, and Runash, the former Grand Knight of the Temple of Life, who was standing not far behind him, slowly raised his head with silver flames burning in his eyes. At the same time, behind him, thousands of undead with the same vision as him were slowly standing up. These people were the temple guards who had left Chen Kai and fled directly from Andosen. But now they are all being killed by Amma after the fall? The Lagas system became the Death Knight, a kind of existence that was very different from the black knight and the black knight. Because the Black Knight and the Black Knight can only use the power of death. But the Death Knight can use the power of the living.
But the Death Knights are very complicated, first they must be degenerates, then they must be killed in a state of resentment, and the souls of the dead are re-refined and rushed into their original bodies and are permanently sealed in the body. These Death Knights were the guardians of the temple during their lifetimes, and although they lost the power to use magic after their fall, the fighting spirit in their bodies was still full of divine aura. This aura was combined with the power of death to become an even more eerie power, the power of death that was full of divine feelings. The appearance and color of this power is no different from the genuine divine power, but it is more lethal and destructive, and at the same time, it is also very corrosive to life, which can be said to be a strange and terrifying power. The most important point is that they have a strong resistance to divine power due to the fall of the Templar in front of them, and even if they face the same level of Templar Profession head-on, they also have a certain overwhelming power, because although they cannot use divine arts, they have more terrifying death holy power.
For Amma? Lagas's proudest thing in Andorson wasn't to put Bill? Poli turned into a Blood Demon puppet and instead found Runash and the Templars and succeeded in capturing them. Under his special means. These Templars completed the fall and were eventually all subdued into Death Knights, although some of them died in the process, but in the end, Amma? Lapas still got a Death Knights of nearly 1,000 men. For any member of the forces of evil, nothing delights them more than the Death Knight, a being who can disgust the temple. But at the same time, for the temple, every Death Knight is a sexist that they must clear, because the existence of the Death Knight itself is a discredit to the temple's own faith.
As the gray-red mist slowly disappeared, a huge army of undead slowly appeared in front of the soldiers defending the city. Among them, Chen Kai saw the monster turned into by his own corpse, that is, the bone earth dragon knight O'Neill, but now it is not him who is attracting attention on the battlefield, but the Death Knights who are not far from the undead black warriors who are staying in it. Looking at the standard armor of the various temples worn by those death knights, Chen Kai seemed to hear the sound of the exhausted temple professionals not far from him gritting their teeth, and the crunching sound of the teeth almost being crushed made Chen Kai feel a chill.
"Death Knight! Fallen! Standing not far from Chen Kai, who almost shouted these words in a roaring voice, it was the priest of the Dawn Temple, that is, the high priest Ke Qiya who had helped Chen Kai, but his eyes were red now, like a beast that chose to devour people. Chen Kai had never seen a high-ranking professional of the temple be able to be so angry, if it weren't for the lack of magic power in his body, Chen Kai estimated that this old priest would rush down directly from the city wall and pounce on those death knights.
"Hold down those Temple professionals! Hurry up and hold them down! "Count Markratch immediately saw the instability of all the temple professionals, or all the aboriginal temple professionals, and he immediately asked people to control those temple professionals, but it was still a step too late. Several Templar Knights, who were extremely fanatical about their faith, jumped directly from the wall more than thirty meters high, roaring under the dull gaze of everyone and rushing towards those Death Knights, of course, the result was obviously directly dismembered by a terrible number of dead creatures.
