Chapter 68: Dark Sky
Centered on the evil magic that rushed straight into the clouds, the black, ominous dark clouds spread rapidly.
Within the scope of dark clouds, the thick white mist that had been covering this vast swampy area slowly disappeared into invisibility.
Instead, there was a sudden and unusually dim environment and an eerie dead silence.
The undead sentinels, who had been listless and motionless in their positions, howled excitedly one by one, as if they had been nourished by the dark canopy.
The foggy swamp, already full of dead silence, suddenly became like a ghost domain.
No, it should be said that now that the dark canopy was built, this misty swamp is a ghost domain!
The Dark Canopy, as a strategic structure that consumes a lot of resources and labor to be completed as soon as possible, is of course of great use to the forces of the undead.
The mere fact that the Dark Canopy can create a wide area of shadows, so that the low-cost undead who could not move freely in the sunlight can now wander around, has already made this Dark Canopy a must-have facility in the town of the undead.
However, this was only the most basic effect of the Dark Canopy, and it was obviously not the basic effect that the vampire Grand Duke needed that would not be of much use to him.
Of course, the construction of the Grand Duke of Josephine was not the ordinary goods, but the much more advanced large dark canopy.
The current dark canopy not only has a wide range of shadows than ordinary dark canopies, but also has special effects that ordinary dark canopies can't reach.
Darkness suppressed.
This is an enchantment effect that can only be found in large dark canopies!
Unlike normal dark canopies, which rely on dark clouds to block out sunlight to create shadows, large dark canopies form a large magical barrier in the area covered by dark clouds as the clouds spread.
Although the barrier is rudimentary, its scope can expand as the clouds spread, and its encompassing area is quite staggering.
In this enchantment, based on the dark canopy, it will continue to emit dark energy outward. And as time passes, the dark energy will continue to fill the entire interior of the barrier, gradually forming a dark energy enrichment ground in the entire dark canopy.
At this time, the dark canopy no longer needs to constantly emit dark energy, and this rich place of dark energy will continue to absorb the free dark energy between heaven and earth to replenish itself.
Of course, due to the abundance of dark energy, the swampy area that was originally more suitable for using water and earth magic will become a dark area suitable for undead magic and dark magic.
Not only will the originally active water and earth elements be suppressed, but the wind and fire elements, which were originally less affected, will also become extremely sluggish. And most importantly, the light magic of the Church of the Gods is of course difficult to use in this dark area.
Within the scope of the dark canopy, making the environment the most conducive to the undead is called Dark Suppression.
This effect is actually possessed by ordinary dark canopies, but the effect is minimal, and the effect of this large dark canopy built by Grand Duke Josephine has reached the point where the dark suppression effect has reached the point where it is visible to the naked eye.
The environment under the dark canopy became darker and darker, and the thick dark energy continued to gather in the shadows, forming a black mist everywhere.
It's as if the original white swamp fog has been blackened by night.
Roger certainly knew what it was.
"The dark energy is so thick that it's visible to the naked eye?" Roger swallowed and looked at Melina beside him in disbelief, "This speed is too abnormal, isn't it?" ”
The spread speed of the dark canopy was extremely fast, but in a short period of time, it had already covered the Blood River Castle where Roger and his party were located.
Melina nodded quietly, slowly raising her translucent hand.
The ghostly hand, which was originally bright and dark, quickly became full under the continuous influx of dark energy.
It was clear that Melina's body was recovering rapidly.
"This is at least the dark canopy of the main city of the undead, and even the corpse cloud that gradually turns the earth into a barren land suitable for the survival of the undead has been added to it." Melina's face was also slightly surprised, there were not many people who could make her as a high-level undead speed up the recovery of her damaged spirits, but the corpse bone mist that could work on all the undead was one of them. "This should be specially prepared for that bone dragon, with such a top-level undead class wantonly absorbing the undead power in the corpse bone cloud, the formation of the barren land will be greatly delayed, but the recovery speed of the bone dragon in the center of the corpse bone cloud will also exceed imagination."
"Something is wrong, this is so wrong!" Roger's brows furrowed even tighter, "The dark canopy, the cloud of corpses, and these mid-to-high-level undead troops that I killed, if you hadn't told me that Archduke Josephine was hunted down, I would definitely think that this was the advance force of the undead realm." ”
"With such adequate preparations, Archduke Josephine may have planned to leave the realm of the dead for a long time! The Dark Sky Canopy at the main city level is a very important strategic facility, and even if Grand Duke Josephine is an undead hero, it is impossible to easily obtain a building core of this level! ”
"I'm getting more and more curious about what kind of secret Archduke Josephine is hiding in him." Roger pouted.
Having said that, Roger also knew that the most important thing now was not to study the little secrets of the Grand Duke Josephine, but how to save his life in the wrath of the vampire Grand Duke.
In the Yin Soul Castle where Grand Duke Josephine is now located, in addition to a hundred seventh-order vampire count troops and an eighth-order peak bone dragon, there are at least about three hundred fifth-order great corpse witches, about two hundred fourth-order skeleton griffins, an unknown number but at least thousands of third- and fourth-order skeleton troops, and eight hundred third-order ghouls have also numbered more than a thousand second-order plague zombie troops.
If you just look at the numbers, it's impossible to win......
"Well, although there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, there is still good news." Roger shrugged his eyebrows, "Since Archduke Josephine handed over the ghost troops such as the ghosts to that Mary's command, and now that Mary was slaughtered by me and the Blood River Fort was taken over by me, there are no more formed ghost classes under the command of the vampire Grand Duke, at most there are some scattered ghost sentries and scouts. ”
"If we can take out the huge number of skeleton classes and ghoul troops, the plague zombies, which are too slow, can be completely ignored. The remaining mid- and high-level undead troops, we still have the strength to fight. ”
"Do you have a solution?" Melina was very puzzled, with her intelligence, she couldn't see any way to turn the tables.
Roger pulled something out of his bosom, a testament to his heroism.
At this time, the evidence of heroes is exuding a faint brilliance. Melina, who was very close, could faintly feel the surging magic fluctuations in it.
Melina frowned, and there was some confusion in her eyes, the strength of this magic fluctuation was somewhat beyond her imagination. It stands to reason that a young hero like Roger, even with the teachings and indoctrination of his predecessors, will not exceed level 10 in hero level. But the fluctuation of this magic power is at least more than 150 points of strategic magic power.
"The night before I entered the Swamp, I soaked this Hero's Token through the Vitality Fountain, and in a week's time, this Hero's Token can hold twice as much strategic magic, and this effect will continue until midnight today. And this Hero's Evidence of mine, with the support of strategic artifacts and its own basic attributes, can now hold a full 80 points of strategic magic power. If you double it, it's a full 160 points. There was a hint of confidence in Roger's eyes, "The strategic magic that I lost before has been completely replenished by the magic of the druid elders, and I am still a dual-line magic master of the earth and qi systems!" ”
"Now I, with the addition of various strategic treasures, I can summon forty-five wind elements or earth elements in one breath by casting strategic magic qi and earth element summoning! And ten times! ”
"So, I'm going to make a surprise attack on the Nethersoul Keep!"
Looking at Roger, who was full of interest, Melia poured a bucket of cold water very directly: "From here to the Yin Soul Castle, there is no time at all. ”
"And just relying on the elemental summoning such a small number of troops is not enough for a few attacks by the bone dragon. What's more, there are three hundred fifth-order corpse witches and two hundred griffons there. ”
Roger shrugged his eyebrows, turned into a golden-winged roc under Melina's surprised gaze, and then quickly transformed back, "The speed of my transformation is quite fast, enough to reach the Yin Soul Castle in a short time. ”
"And in fact, the troops summoned by these elements are just cannon fodder." Rather than be swayed by Melia's dissuasion, Roger became more serious, after all, the more carefully he thought about it, the more feasible this course of action seemed to be.
"I'll bring the Storm Elementals and the Thunder Elementals with the main force, all of them flying units, and I'll also bring Tuna! The bone dragon wants to recuperate, and it shouldn't make a move in a short time, if it does, then we'll run immediately! I'm just trying to stall as long as I can! No casualties are planned! ”
"Okay, let's try it." Melina was convinced, and while the dark suppression effect of the Dark Canopy had not yet reached its peak, it was still necessary to carry out several tentative attacks on the undead legion of Archduke Josephine.
At the very least, you must have a bottom line about the enemy's strength.
"Then I'll go and prepare first!" Roger said, hurrying to the location of the Storm Elemental and the Thunder Elemental.
Of course, the Storm Element and the Thunder Element can't keep up with the speed of the Great Peng, so they obviously have to make some arrangements.
However, after explaining the matter to Mom, Roger quickly returned to the room assigned to him.
Without bothering to look at the layout of the room, Roger sat cross-legged on the bed.
It's easy to say, but in fact, Roger's heart is still quite stressed, after all, the opponent is an old legendary hero powerhouse.
So Roger intends to improve his strength.
Since being promoted to Hero and entering the top tier of strength, the system's natural energy pool has greatly expanded, and now it has a full 10,000 points of Nature's Power capacity.
And after this short period of hard work, especially the undead who have purified a lot these days, they now have as much as 3235 points of natural power.
Without hesitation, he used all these forces of nature on himself, and after becoming a hero, Roger was able to control the natural fluctuations caused by the absorption of the power of nature in a small range.
So in this room, Roger quietly improved his strength.
