Chapter 507: A Heaven-Sent Opportunity
Being directly invaded into the city, even the air defense and air force have become decorations, and the Extreme City Defender Zanluchi can only quickly mobilize his team to pounce on the undead army that is burning everywhere.
The Brissons still have some experience in dealing with the undead, even if they have not fought with the undead before, they will more or less have a few tricks with the undead during this time, and they all know the tactics that the undead troops are best at using.
The number of undead troops is large, and the individual combat ability is lower than that of species of the same level, which is the stereotype in everyone's understanding. Based on this, Bresson mobilized 20,000 defenders to pounce on the undead in the city, although the number was smaller, but their combat effectiveness should be higher, and the training of the military formation should be stronger than the loose and disorderly skeleton soldiers. As a rule of thumb, skeletons will fight to the last of their soldiers, and they may break out, but they will certainly be cleaned up.
Zanruchi's attention is still on the city walls, he will not reduce the garrison on the city walls, the skeletons can only be cannon fodder and harassing troops, even if they are thrown into the city in a strange way, they will not affect the final outcome of the battle, as long as he does not foolishly mess with himself. He did not expect at all that he had made a big mistake, the mistake of empiricism.
The mutated demonized undead who had already obtained soul energy from the inhabitants and defenders of the city greatly strengthened the strength of their subordinates. After the foundation was laid, these intelligent undead began to train elite warriors, and they began to use their soul energy to draw magic patterns for these demonized undead. With a complete set of demonic skeletons, they become demon warriors in the true sense of the word, demonic skeletons. The combat power of the Demon Skeleton is much higher than that of ordinary skeletons, and it is stronger than the heavy skeletons of the Undead Empire, and the heavy skeletons are the basic class of high-level undead, which is a full two ranks higher than ordinary skeletons in the low-level cannon fodder stage.
By the time Zanruchi's 20,000 reinforcements rushed into the tunnels to engage the skeletons, the mutant undead had already created a batch of demonic skeletons. Work is underway to make a second batch.
The ability to compete in street battles is biased towards the strength of individual soldiers, and the individual combat ability of the Demon Skeleton can just play a decisive role in street fighting.
Bresson's soldiers collided with these strange skeletons that were steaming black, blue, and red, and they quickly divided the ranks of these skeletons, and the most vegetable black skeletons were stronger than the average skeletons. Blue Skeletons can be tied with Bresson's elite soldiers. The most powerful red-spirited skeleton soldiers can directly kill the Bresson soldiers below the captain level, even if the captain-level warriors have no chance of winning against them, they can only hold on a little longer.
Fighting under the condition of unknown enemy situation, the Brysson people were pitted as soon as they fought, and the demonic skeleton with red demonic energy picked the commander to attack, directly destroying the command center of the Bresson team, and immediately confusing the Bresson soldiers at the front line. In this way, without the cooperation of the squad, they fight together indiscriminately. This gives the undead, who are good at melee, a temporary advantage.
A group of Bresson warriors died in battle, and the mutant skeletons obtained a lot of materials, and after obtaining some enhanced souls again, the mutant demonized skeletons became stronger, and they began to have the ability to strengthen their own magic patterns. However, they were not in a hurry to do it, and they were still very patient in making demonic skeletons.
The officers commanding the street battles soon discovered that these skeletons were different from ordinary skeletons, and they quickly sent troops to rescue the scattered advance team, mobilizing more elite fighters who were already mentally prepared to replace the defeated team.
The quick response of the officers saved the lives of some of the fighters. But that didn't stop the mutant skeletons from continuing to strengthen their soldiers, and they soon found that they couldn't stand it out. There are more and more skeletons glowing red, and skeletons are constantly growing.
After the skeletons in the team that can be promoted are selected, each mutant skeleton has five to eight demonic skeletons under his subordinates, accounting for about five percent of the total number of the team, at this time they already have a certain amount of capital, and the mutant skeletons begin to strengthen themselves. They use their souls to strengthen their own magic patterns, and their soul power to strengthen their basic strength. After about two hours of fighting, the mutated demonized skeletons had completed their evolution, and their appearance was basically the same as that of the demonic skeletons, but with more magical patterns. However, their template has managed to evolve into a liege template, although they are still just ordinary lieges.
Zanluchi suddenly felt that something was not right, the skeleton soldiers that should have been cleaned up after more than an hour of fighting not only did not disappear, but became more and more powerful, and the information returned was that these skeletons were very special, and it was very likely that they were special skeleton troops like heavy skeleton soldiers.
Zanluchi's head is a little insufficient, if the undead clan throws out high-level undead to storm the city, it means that the main force of the undead is attacking, then they are confident that they can directly take the Extreme Dao City, but their attack on the city wall is not fierce, almost all of them are low-level undead using the most primitive methods to attack the city, as if they want to contain the army that collects the city wall. Since they are not in a hurry to attack the city, but they send elite troops to charge the city in a special way, it can only show that these undead have special goals. This thought made Zanlu break out in a cold sweat, he knew that yesterday there was an imperial royal family who came to the ancestral altar of Extreme Road City to pray, and ordinary royal family members would come to the ancestral altar to pray when they encountered a big change or when they were promoted to the rank of legend or above. This was originally a very normal activity, and Zanruchi didn't pay much attention to it, but the special actions of these attackers today made him have a bad association.
"Go, inform the lord of the city, and say that these undead may want to attack the ancestral altar. It is recommended that the altar of the ancestors be protected. Bring me the first regiment up. Zanruchi hurriedly made arrangements, and he himself entered the combat state, and Zhun Ben went to the front line to understand the situation on the spot.
Zanruchi didn't notice it, but on the roof not far from him, two pairs of puzzled eyes looked at each other.
"Ancestral Altar, what is it?" Lei Sili squinted at the herald who ran out.
"The Bresson Empire has a very special tradition, when there is a big event, members of the royal family will enter the ancestral altar, and it is said that the bones of their ancestors are buried here, and they can communicate with the ancestral spirits." Jiang Li casually explained a few words.
"Look at what this commander means, there are royals who are using the Ancestral Altar?" Lei Sili asked, but she didn't need Jiang Li to answer, she was already sure that there must be members of the royal family using the ancestral altar. Otherwise this commander would not have been so nervous.
"The only people who can use the Ancestral Altar are the direct blood relatives of the royal family, and now the only people who are eligible to use it are the Emperor and his sons. The one who was killed by us some time ago to absorb the divine power of the dark god should be the eldest prince, that is, the crown prince of Brisson. The second prince is mentally retarded, so he shouldn't come here to enlighten himself. The third prince made a big mistake and has been imprisoned. The other princes are relatively young and will never advance to the legend. Jiang Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and he analyzed it like this. The most suspicious person who came to use the Ancestral Altar was Bryson's contemporary Emperor Sangel, and the other two princes were possible, but the chances were too small.
"Huh? You mean there's Schenger in the altar? Lei Sili was also excited, she didn't expect such a coincidence.
"The odds are great. Since we have encountered it, let's go and have a look. Jiang Li's heart was activated at once, such an opportunity must not be let go, and God will take the blame if he doesn't take it.
Jiang Li threw two auxiliary pills into his mouth, then activated his stealth skill and chased in the direction of the herald. The herald didn't run to the City Lord's Mansion. Instead, let the east run all the way. Soon he reached the outside of a three-story stone tower, which was not tall but thick, and the surface of the stone tower looked ordinary. There was a very mysterious force that seeped out, very slightly, but very clearly.
When the herald came to the outside of the stone tower, he went straight to a stone house next to the main entrance of the stone tower, which was not small in size and had a large table in the middle. Four senior officers gathered around the table, looking like they were chatting. After listening to the herald's briefing, their conversation was pulled back.
"Someone leaked the news?" A strong warrior in red armor sat at the top of the table, glaring disapprovingly at a priest across from him.
"Jidao City knows that I am the only one who has come from His Majesty." The pastor's attitude was light, but his words were full of extreme confidence.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence, all the people who know the destination of His Majesty's trip this time are people from within the royal family, and no one should leak it out." The magician next to the warrior stood up to resolve the conflict, and his rank was not high. Looks like a think tank.
"You go for a run, and make the brothers of the pro-guard team more vigilant. Then go to the front line to see what kind of skeleton soldiers can defeat the elite Imperial soldiers. With three points of suspicion and three points of mockery between the warrior Chinese, he did not believe that any skeleton soldier without heavy armor could have more combat power than the elite warrior.
"Who knows His Majesty's whereabouts, will he?" The magician lowered his head and thought for a moment. asked in a low voice.
"Something to say." The warrior yelled dissatisfied, he hated it when smart people said half a word, the muscles in his head had already filled up, and there was not much room for brains.
The magician, accustomed to his boss's style, had to explain in detail: "Each time he sleeps lasts longer than the last, and this time he slept for thirty-one years. He had already begun to show his weary of this life of being awake for a year or two and then sleeping for decades, the power of the Ancestral Altar could reduce the time he spent sleeping, and after waking up this time, he mentioned many times that he wanted to absorb the energy of the Ancestral Altar, but His Majesty never agreed. ”
"Are you saying that he wants to kill His Majesty and replace him for the sake of the Ancestral Altar?" The priest's expression became serious. He is the lord of Extreme Dao City, and the previous lords here are all members of the imperial family, and they are all close to the emperor. He still knew some of the secrets of the royal family, and he knew that the reason why the Bresson royal family had been able to suppress that person for so many years was because the emperor had this secret weapon that could easily destroy him.
"I have to guard against it, now the empire is in turmoil, and once there is another big change, the empire may really not be able to hold on." The magician didn't dare to say anything to death, he was loyal to the royal family of Bresson, and he didn't want to see the royal family fall or be destroyed. But he also has to admit that the Bresson royal family has not done a very good job in governing the country, especially the last two emperors, their tempers are a bit elusive, and they are very hot-tempered, often doing some impulsive things. Take Xianger's attitude towards the domestic rioters, for example, it is a bit extreme. These rebellious people were originally created because of the war, but Xianger regarded them as enemies, and sent a large army to suppress them bloodily, and it was absolutely undesirable to treat the rebellious people as if they were foreign enemies.
The words of the three people in the room were heard clearly by Jiang Li, who was lying on the roof, he glanced at Lei Sili next to him, and reached out to make a gesture to wipe his neck. Lei Sili nodded, gesturing at the priest.
Jiang Li nodded, and suddenly started the spatial jump and rushed directly behind the priest, and the dragon teeth emitted by the blood had accurately pierced the priest's spine.
When Jiang Li made a move, Lei Sili was still lying on the roof, but when Jiang Li hit the priest, Lei Sili had already passed directly to Jiang Li's side with the help of Jiang Li's contractual relationship with herself. The magic whip appeared out of thin air, instantly penetrating the spatial limit and directly wrapped around the mage's neck, and the short sword with a rune luster attacked the warrior's eyes at the same time.
It happened suddenly, and only a magician at the level of a great magician was killed on the spot without even having a chance to react. Killing him didn't delay Leslie from attacking the warriors.
Jiang Li controlled the priest with one move, and the scroll in his left hand was directly activated by him, and the high-level soundproof enchantment instantly blocked the leakage of the sound, so that the voice of the warrior who roared one step later could not be transmitted.
Killing a legendary mid-level priest was not very difficult for Jiang Li, but it was impossible to control it until death. When Jiang Li wiped out half of the priest's health, the priest was finally freed from Jiang Li's chain of control. The transparent light shone on him, and the lowest level of magic skills was the sharpest at this time.
The eggshell shattered, and the priest took the opportunity to stand up, and the soul control came out instantly. Jiang Li directly activated the skills on the equipment and exchanged the control skills of the priest. The blood spun in a small circle and stabbed the priest's neck again. The priest added an instantaneous recovery skill to himself, and then an instantaneous soul strike, which turned out to be to fight against Jiang Li. The bloodshot was unloaded by his skill before he could pierce the priest's neck, and the sliding bloodshot sliced through the clothes on his chest, and several pieces of debris fell to the ground.
A red light and shadow suddenly appeared, and the debris, which was already very close to the ground, was smashed into powder by the force of the whip. A desperate expression flashed on the priest's face instantly, he didn't expect that he had deceived the powerful young man in front of him, but he had not deceived the female demon who had never even looked at him.
The warrior level Lei Sili dealt with was higher and had reached the peak of the legend, but unfortunately his opponent was Lei Sili, a demon lord who could break through to the god level at any time. The most frustrating thing is that he was sneak attacked, and he was on the defensive all the time, which is extremely bad for a berserker whose attack ability is far greater than his defensive ability. When his last bit of blood was emptied, the warrior reacted, he should have fought desperately with the opponent from the beginning, it was a big mistake to enter the defensive state, but he had no chance to regret it, and he didn't know that he had been hit by Lei Sili's mind control magic long before Jiang Li made a move. As soon as the warrior died, the end of the priest was coming, and the priest, who had fallen into the chain of control again, was quickly emptied of his health by Lei Sili.
Closing the door of the stone house, Jiang Li used the space shuttle to penetrate several walls in a row, and entered the interior of the stone tower. (To be continued......)
