Andrei's uneventful awakening didn't cause much of a stir, as he didn't tell anyone else about Ferreira, the demonic master, trying to encroach on him. It's just that he still mentioned this when he reported to the Dawn Temple, so only the upper echelons of the temple knew about Ferreira's demonic consciousness.
Although Vivien was surprised by the shattering of the Dawn Jewel on Andrei's head after she woke up, the joy of her husband's awakening soon overcame all her worries. However, because the crisis of the demon invasion has not been resolved, and she is worried about the children at home, Vivien still left the town of Berkna under the persuasion of Andre.
At this moment, the entire town of Berkna has turned into a huge outpost of war, of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration, but there is no doubt that all the towns of Berkna have begun to shift in the direction of guarding against the attacks of demons and undead. In the underworld leading to the ruins of Lava City, walls made of rocks tens of meters thick began to be built gradually. Ten walls more than ten meters thick were built on the road to the town of Burkna or the Jewel Abyss, of course, if you rely on the player's strength, you can't build so many projects in a short period of time, and the people responsible for the construction are all the earth elemental spellcasters of the Hansting Empire.
At the behest of Prime Minister Capello, the mages risked being killed by Edmund to Burkner, only to find themselves missing the perfect opportunity to kill their opponents. Because according to the information gathered by the mages, Edmonds was definitely hit hard. As a result, the casters were almost all frustrated and miserable. Of course, it's not that they're missing out on the opportunity to be dragon slayers, it's because they're missing out on a chance to collect dragon materials themselves. But if Edmonds reappears in front of these spellcasters. They would just turn around and run, because at that time, Edmonds might have recovered from the Abyss Demon Dragon, and it was definitely not the dragon that the dwarves had seriously injured.
The so-called standing and talking without backache or hindsight is probably the state of these mages at the moment, if they are really allowed to join the battle of Lava City at the beginning, it is estimated that the first to run away will definitely be these noble spellcasters. Because even the prime ministers of the empire around Capello could not fully command these so-called architectural mages, although the civil engineering mage group of the Hansting Empire was cultivated by the empire itself, but under the infiltration of the mage association, the empire could not fully control this force. At least nearly one-third of the high-level mages in this group of mages came from the mage association, not from the empire itself.
Of course, when there was no threat from Edmunds, these mages were very fast at building, and thousands of high-level earth elemental spellcasters were quite fast at transforming the underground passages. They even worked with various forces to refine all the metals in the rocks. Huge metal ingots were formed. At the same time, the entire underground passage was transformed by the mages to be more spacious and solid, and with the joint help of more than a dozen ** masters, the originally unusually wide underground passage became even larger. From the original three or four meters high, it has now become nearly seven or eight meters high and more than ten meters wide, of course, the biggest purpose of this is to compress the rock more so that the surrounding walls are more solid. At this moment, the walls around the passage were strong, even if these earth elemental casters themselves wanted to destroy them, it would be very difficult, and they could even withstand the full force of the Holy Rank powerhouse without the wall shattering.
As for why the walls of the passage were built so strong, and the purpose of arranging the passage so widely, it was actually very simple, that is, to prevent the demons from attacking the ground from other directions. To do this, the casters have sealed off all the passages to Lava City. And with the power of spells, it is directly reinforced to be harder than steel. If a demon does reappear, it will be a choice between a sturdy wall or a road that looks more wide, and there is no doubt that the demons will choose the latter, and that's what the designers intended. The layers of fortifications drain the power of the demons, trapping them in the underworld.
Of course, these casters are only responsible for building fortifications, and weapons and defenders are no longer in their consideration. Similarly, Prime Minister Capello can only provide some defensive weapons, such as the old Magic Crystal Cannon. Old bed crossbows and other things that look older. Basically, the entire defense line is composed of old goods from the imperial capital and other cities, and even so, only three lines of defense can be arranged in half a month. This was only reluctantly built by the dwarves after providing a lot of materials collected from the ruins, and so far only one and a half lines of defense had been provided by Prime Minister Capello. After all, there are more than a dozen large and small shooting holes on the wall more than six meters high. This is a new wall built after the dwarves' walled enclosure design combined with previous battles. Don't look at the shots on the wall, all of them are the shots of the magic crystal cannon, the size of the shots is very small, only the size of a football. However, the length of the shot hole is nearly two meters, and the most important thing is to prevent the hole from being damaged. The entire shot is melted into metal by the casters, then reinforced and reinforced, even if it is smashed with a heavy hammer, it is estimated that it will only destroy the hammer.
The extended firing port is not only a lengthened barrel for the Crystal Cannon, but most importantly, it makes the gunner of the Crystal Cannon safer. This is because all the crystal cannons are placed inside the walls. Each Magic Crystal Cannon was dismantled and then transported to a specially constructed gun emplacement for installation, and it took nearly three days just to install these Magic Crystal Cannons.
Fortunately, there were no demons and no undead to attack during this time, of course, Chen Kai not only monitored the place of the Jewel Abyss, but also sent people from other places to monitor. If it weren't for the fact that the old city of Hugodi was still under the control of the Drows, it is estimated that he would have sent people there. Within the scope of Chen Kai's monitoring, there has been no news of any undead or demons so far, as for what those undead and demons are doing. Kikigra could tell him that she was busy right now, busy carrying the huge magic crystal cannon, while Latamicius was busy licking her wounds. Regroup your own undead troops.
It's just that the former is purely hard work, and the latter is technical work, and a large number of power demons and mad demons are like the most low-level coolies, carrying extremely heavy magic crystal cannons. It was more difficult to carry such a large and heavy object than Kikigra had imagined. Because in some places, the rock formations are too thin to bear the weight of the cannons. As for using spells to make the cannon lighter, Kikigra didn't say that he hadn't thought about it, but the result was a simple failure. Because this magic crystal cannon is infiltrated with a lot of demonic metal, it is extremely resistant to spells while increasing in weight. Naturally, the spells that made items lighter could not be cast at all, and Kikigra had no choice but to have the little demons hold ropes and hoist the cannons, but this would make the little demons miserable, because they could not carry too much. Thousands of little devils can only pull dozens of tons of objects.
Therefore, in order to get through these areas with weak rock formations, the brains of the demons are almost shattered. Therefore, the original journey of ten days was stretched and lengthened by Yan zhòng, and it was more than doubled. Although Kikigra was very unhappy about this, because the long transportation time made the time for her reward more distant. But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and in such a situation, she can only let Anegart, a loyal subordinate, operate independently.
As for the Bone Demon, he was busy summoning new subordinates from the underworld at the moment, because the corpses that could be found in the entire Lava City had already been used by him. With a huge army lost, he can only secretly summon to the underworld and the hell of the undead to replenish his forces. Relative to summoning the undead from the undead hell. Summoning the undead from the underworld requires even greater risk. Fortunately, the White Bone Demon has hundreds of dwarven undead spellcasters to use at the moment, and there is no shortage of spell materials and magic crystals for summoning in the Lava City city area it occupies.
Hundreds of undead spellcasters kept summoning, and it took almost half of the spell materials collected by the Bone Demon to make his troops break through the 30,000 mark again. The scythe undead guards from the underworld, the boneless demons of the undead hell, the claw undead even have a whole team of hundreds of black knights and a small team of death knights, which is now the new home of Latamicius. For the Bone Demon, he was most pleased that the small team of thirteen Death Knights who had been summoned. Although the strength of these Death Knights is not particularly strong, they cannot be compared to the Death Knights he created using the Dwarven Sanctuary, and two Death Knights are even lame on their mounts. But no matter how you say it, they are all death knights, and the more high-end ones among the undead are at least above the ninth order, and they all have the template of elite and even commander.
It's just that no matter how arrogant these Death Knights are. When he saw the remaining dwarven death knights, he instantly turned from arrogance to fear. The Death Knights who step into the Sanctuary are at least at the rank of Legion Commander in the world of the dead or in the world of the Death Knights, and the underworld has the most powerful undead troops. It also has the most powerful Death Knight troops, and the leader of each Death Knight legion is a Death Knight of the Holy Rank. It's just that they are more powerful than a few dwarven dead riders, because they have all grown up for hundreds of thousands of years, and the strength in their bodies is not at all comparable to a few dwarven dead riders who have only been born for a month or two.
In the world of the undead, it is necessary for the weak to submit to the strong, and after being summoned, these undead have been forcibly contracted by Latamicius, and the oldest and most simple servant contract makes it impossible for them to resist Latamicius's orders. Although the White Bone Demon was through those dwarf undead spellcasters to contract control these undead, otherwise he would not be able to contract 30,000 undead troops alone, especially those sickle undead guards from the underworld.
These scythe undead guards looked a little similar to the Western Grim Reaper, and they were also similar to the ones Chen Kai had encountered in the Redstone Fortress, but the strength of the two sides was very different. These scythe undead guards are only of the ninth order at most, and most of them are only of the eighth order, and among them, there are only some high-level beings who look similar to the god of death, and more skeletons with bone shelves and scythes in their hands. It's just that their bodies are shorter, their spines are stiff and obscene, and they have a chain attached to the handle of the sickle. Only a few high-ranking Cun Zài were wearing black cloaks, floating lightly in the air.
Only these scythe undead guards were similar to the undead they had seen in the Redstone Fortress, and the others could only be said to be more similar to the one they had encountered in the underground temple. The massive Scythe Undead Guard isn't just a scary-looking collection of undead troops. Led by the high-level Scythe Guardians, they can all burst into extremely powerful battles, as the high-level Scythe Guardians possess strange Void movement abilities. This strange ability gives them the ability to travel through the void or the shadow plane for a short period of time. As long as there is a shadow around, they can submerge into it, and then another place where the shadow is, almost a top-level assassination ability. The only problem is that their level and strength are still too low, and the ninth-order scythe guards can only comprehend this power preliminarily, and every time they use it, they will produce ripples around the shadows, and the distance they can travel cannot exceed ten meters.
But even so, not everyone can defend against their attack ability, it can be said that within ten meters they have the ability to assassinate, as long as people who have not seen this kind of undead can hardly think that the enemy will run out of the shadow behind them.
As for the Dry Bone Demons, their bones are rotten, and they look as if they will shatter when they are handed down. And in fact, it is the case, but the most terrifying thing about this kind of demon is that it can't be killed. Each piece of the withered bones contains a piece of soul fire, which will instantly shatter when hit by an attack, wrap the attacker in bone slag, and eventually drown in the sandy bones and then kill. The Dry Bone Demon is a rare breed of the underworld, so rare that even Latamicius has only heard of it, but this time he summoned hundreds of them. What kind of combat effect can be caused by hundreds of Dry Bone Demons, that is, it can instantly unfold a layer of sand composed of white bones to cover it, and then pour it into the exposed mouth and other places of the living creatures, and finally kill the target.
As for the claw undead, they are undead creatures in the undead hell. Their source is the Talon of Demons, which is a demon that is formed by the undead after the death of the Talon Demon. Their most powerful attacks come from their bony claws, and their movements are as agile as they were when they were alive.
After having a huge undead army, there are two ways to put it in front of the White Bone Demon, the first is naturally to run to the demon's lair to find Kikigra, and say that she will rush to the surface world with the troops. However, Latamicius estimated that after he appeared outside the demon's lair, the biggest possibility was to attract the fear and siege of the demon lords inside, and even if he was summoned by the demons to the Mezavalo Night Master and killed. After all, he had just sacrificed the Demon Lord Samora not long ago. And it was the hundred-eyed giant that was forbidden in the demon world that was summoned, so this path was directly vetoed by him. As long as his skull isn't broken, he won't go to the devil's lair, and it seems to him that he can complete the second path with the power in his hands.
As for what is the second way? It's as simple as digging a passage blocked by rocks and heading towards the surface world alone. Of course, this road is also dangerous, because if you are not careful, you may encounter Waterloo again. So the White Bone Demon still had another thing in mind. That is, not digging up the rocks to find other paths to the surface. This one was the safest in Latamicius's eyes, and he had some dwarven undead in his hands. Although there are few memories mastered, at least after synthesis, it is possible to find a way to the ground.
It's just that after sending more than a dozen waves of undead to explore in a row, the third path is more unrealistic than the second path, and there are many roads to the ground, but more often than not, these roads have been destroyed. At the same time, after inquiring about the route, the so-called roads leading to the surface could only be merged into two, one was the most recent road that had only appeared not long ago, and the other was the road that Chen Kai and the others had to trek through for at least half a month when they first went underground.
The most important thing is that the road is estimated to have been destroyed in the last earthquake, at least after the White Bone Demon used his soul to probe, the current road is blocked for at least a hundred meters. It is estimated that it will take half a month just to remove the rocks for such a long distance, and it is relatively faster to dig the road to Dongcheng District. The most important thing is that Latamicius is a demon no matter what, although he is a dead undead demon, only humans fear demons, and there is no demon that fears humans. In the absence of a choice, Latamicius would rather risk being destroyed again than march towards the eastern part of the city, and the rocks that had been knocked down by the hundred-eyed giant were dug up by the undead.
In fact, in order for the demons to choose this direction, the casters unleashed directional seismology towards the passages elsewhere. If the White Bone Demon really chooses to leave Lava City elsewhere, unless he turns in the direction of the demon's lair, he will need to dig up more than ten kilometers of rocks from the collapse wherever he goes, and only if he is facing the east, he only needs to dig up dozens of meters of rock formations. In this case, as long as he is not a head smoker, he will make a wise choice, and Latamicius is naturally not a head smoker, but he has no choice. He didn't know that the previous small-scale tremors were caused by the ground mages casting the Directional Seismismus, after all, who had nothing to do to create artificial landslides.
