Chapter 566: War
"Your Excellency, the undead legion has been found ahead!"
At the same time as the undead were waiting in array, a certain high-level demon Flame Sultan, who was a scout of the legion, also suddenly discovered the surging massive death aura, and immediately turned around and rushed back, reporting to the three extreme powerhouses.
"Your Excellency Jikfried, there is really an undead ambush ahead, it's the size of a whole legion!" Receiving the message brought back by his subordinates, Fourteenth-level Fire Nuuddin Thales couldn't help but let out a low cry.
"Hmph, what's there to fuss about!?" However, such a call immediately attracted a rebuke from the Super Cerberus: "Do you think we are here to hang out in Dejia?" Or will the spirits of the dead line up to welcome us!? ”
"You're too nervous, Thales." At this time, the fourteenth-level demon Grand Overseer on the other side also laughed: "Could it be that you were also frightened by Sudtiro's words? ”
"Of course not." Honutdin immediately retorted, glaring at the other party with dissatisfaction: "Your Excellency, Lord Overseer, watch your words! ”
"You..."
"Alright, the legion continues to march forward, try to defeat the undead in an hour, and then preempt Morogen in front of Sudtiro. Maybe that old guy will need us to rescue him again. Without letting the two lieutenants continue to argue, Super Cerberus turned the two heads and roared at the two of them.
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
After glaring at each other again, Chanudin and the Demon Overseer descended back to the ground, urging the Demon Warrior to speed forward.
At the same time, on the left road, Sudtiro also received a report that there was an undead legion in front of him.
"Sure enough, the undead are already waiting for us."
The Demon Warlock sighed and shook his head, as if he didn't regret it, but at the same time he couldn't help but glance at the distant sky to the right. No doubt. At this moment, Cerberus must have encountered the same situation. It's a pity that the two demon armies have been divided by the floating sand belt on both sides of more than ten kilometers apart, and there is no possibility of rushing to each other's aid.
"Your Excellency, is it advancing or retreating?"
The sword-wielding demon took a step forward and whispered in Sudiro's ear.
The situation at hand could not be clearer. Dejia was obviously prepared to use Morrogan's special terrain for blocking operations. However, his own side has only divided his troops, and his strength is much thinner. If you continue to advance, you may fall into an even bigger trap.
"Retreat? How to return! Sudiro glanced at the sword-wielding demon and asked in a deep voice: "With two thousand heavy soldiers in hand, but fleeing in front of the undead?" If such words are transmitted back to Your Excellency the 'Commander of the Demon Army', you should understand what will happen to us. Moreover, Jikfried must be able to fight. We also have to find a way to share the pressure together, otherwise we will really throw the right legion to the undead. ”
Even if he resents Super Cerberus's insistence in his heart, as the supreme commander of the Left Army, Sudiro must take responsibility.
"Yes." The demon warlock was determined, and the sword-wielding demon said no more.
"You all go and command first. Do your best to break through the defenses set by the undead in front of us, so that we have a new chance to win. Soudettiro waved his hand, then closed his eyes. Bow your head and say nothing.
About half an hour later, the Cerberus Legion, advancing at full speed, came close to the "Dead Naval Regiment".
View from the air. The two thousand demons were densely packed and terrifying, like a mass of unscrupulous army ants, surging towards the undead along the edge of the floating sand belt.
"Lord Amber, follow the battle plan."
Negusta looked at the super hellhound that was already visible to the naked eye in the air opposite, and his emotions did not move.
"Yes."
Amber nodded, falling back to the ground.
Immediately. The Necromancers and Lich Squadrons, at the rear of the Legion, were the first to act.
I saw that a little bit of heavy necromancy brilliance first gathered around the necromancer, which meant that the necromancy was rapidly taking shape. At the same time, the lich raised their staff in their hands, and the blood-colored gem on the top of the staff shimmered. Then a boiling dark green mist rose from the top of the staff, undulating and rising like a flame.
And in front of the priests, the company of death knights lined up in a neat line, silent. Dozens of "nightmares" stomped the ground beneath their feet with their bone hooves one after another, as if they were stepping on the bones of an enemy. Not only did it make a heavy and muffled sound of "click", but it also shot out a series of flashing red sparks, flashing people's eyes.
A few dozen meters further forward is the main formation of the "Dead Naval Regiment".
Five hundred blue skeleton warriors lined up in five parallel rows, with a hundred people in each row, and they all maintained the same movement, leaning forward slightly, swords and shields leaning on each other. Just wait for an order, and you can launch an indomitable collective charge.
"A powerful and orderly war machine..."
Staying by Negusta's side, Moriarty couldn't help but praise the undead army that was opening at his feet.
Worthy of being called "Antagrich's strongest army nation", Dejia's army of the undead is a strong army that can make any opponent feel cowardly and even collapse without a fight.
Even the prouder Olympus, formed by Moriarty, is inferior to the "Dead Naval Order" in front of him, which is equipped with a group of lichs, death knights, and necromancers. Unless the city is entrenched and the strong walls are used to counteract the powerful impact of the Death Knights, Olympus' formidable long-range strike force can regain the upper hand. Otherwise, if the field battle is opposite, it is very likely that the opponent will break through the defense line with a charge.
But just as Moriarty was admiring the "heroic posture" of the undead legion, suddenly, a dark and burning gaze was projected from a distance, quickly sweeping over its body repeatedly.
Moriarty then looked up and met the Super Cerberus's gaze full of surprise and anger.
"Looks like they've spotted you, Davidson." Seeing this scene, Negusta smiled amusedly.
Strictly speaking, Moriarty's identity is undoubtedly a "traitor". Coupled with the original opposition between the demon and the devil, how could the Super Cerberus not feel extremely angry when he saw such an existence in the enemy formation? And once Moriarty stepped into the battlefield, he was afraid that he would immediately be bombarded with all the power of the demons.
Of course, the Lord of Amun had anticipated this, and it was this "effect" that he wanted.
"Hehe, a hellhound with dragon blood... Your Excellency Negusta, your opponent is quite difficult. "As if he didn't care that the hatred accumulated in his body had exploded. Moriarty, on the other hand, calmly teased the Great Necromancer.
Indeed, it is Negusta who really wants to play against the Super Cerberus, which is equivalent to blocking someone's gun.
Immediately, the Great Necromancer's smile faded, and his face became solemn again. At the same time, a pair of eyes were more focused on the demon, as if he wanted to see through his opponent.
Noticing Negusta's bad gaze, the Super Cerberus naturally thought it was a provocation from the enemy, and immediately roared loudly, but the sound of the rolling dragon mixed with its roar made the Great Necromancer frown.
At this moment, the attack of the demon legion officially began.
But contrary to the expectations of Negusta and other undead commanders, in the usual first wave of tentative attacks, the demons directly threw nearly a thousand people. That is, the demonic side has abandoned any reconnaissance maneuvers. At the beginning, half of the troops were poured out with the momentum of the general attack, almost to destroy the undead army in front of him in one fell swoop. Its boldness is closer to madness than astonishment.
In addition to the massive infantry demons, there were also two brigades of Gogo demons that were also launched, intending to first cover the undead front with destructive fire before the two armies engaged.
"Crazy? Still stupid! ”
On the ground, Amber, as the commander of the battlefield, looked at the demon warriors who were surging like a huge wave, and cursed in a deep voice. Then, he raised one arm. A predetermined signal is given.
Immediately, inside the necromancer regiment. Pieces of ink-colored magical light and shadow lit up one after another, like lit flowers, flying into the air.
But in the blink of an eye, the air was covered with these ink shadows. And at the point where he cast his eyes again, the magic light and shadow suddenly turned into a cloud of pitch-black mist, expanding wantonly and spreading left and right. In an instant, the sky above the head of the "Dead Naval Regiment" was covered. A large black curtain is formed, which is impermeable.
"Cover the sky!?" Looking at the curtain of black fog that almost stretched beneath his feet, Moriarty blurted out.
"Not bad." Seeing the other party's surprised expression, Negusta smiled with satisfaction, but complained again: "In order to 'weave' this black curtain." I've pledged all of my earnings for next year's job to collect a lot of spellcasting materials. ”
"No wonder." Glancing at the Great Necromancer's expression of pleasure mixed with flesh pain, Moriarty nodded.
It is no wonder that during the previous military discussion, the other party swore that there was a way to deal with the large-scale Goge Demon bombing, and it turned out that this countermeasure was used, but it was also appropriate.
Generally speaking, the "Dark Veil" is a large-scale defensive enchantment that can only be created by relying on special magical devices and working through the construction of necromantic magic arrays.
In the full version of "Darkness in the Sky", enemies will not only be deprived of their vision and unable to see with their eyes due to the thick black fog of death, but will also continue to be eroded by necromantic magic and lose their lives. And the most special thing is that the "Obscuring the Sky and Darkness" can also greatly weaken the non-necromantic magical energy that enters it, such as elemental arcane or other similar spells, etc., which can be called the top weapon for suppressing elemental magic.
It is precisely because of these many advantages that it is not easy to arrange a complete set of devices that can create a "black curtain", not to mention the technical complexity and cost. Therefore, only the "Fountain of Silence" and the "Path of Truth", another major city of the Alliance, have such defensive weapons.
And even the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Temple located in Narakuyama, although it has always wanted to imitate the "dark curtain of the sky", it has never succeeded. In the end, he barely made a half-tone "knockoff", which was almost the power of the original version of Sancheng, and it had already made a group of death priests, including the Death Preacher, happy.
But now, Negusta relies on the necromancer regiment and expensive magical materials to build a temporary "black curtain" in the wild. Even if it's just a rudimentary version, and it removes the power of visual deprivation and necromantic magic damage, it's still a remarkable achievement, worthy of the handiwork of a level 15 great necromancer.
Sure enough, when the "Covering the Sky and Darkness-Curtain" was propped up over the battlefield, the fireballs thrown by more than two hundred Gege Demon clusters in the distance had also flown in.
However, as soon as they entered the "black curtain", those large and small firebombs that were originally burning fiercely and making hunting sounds immediately quickly dimmed. It was as if it was not a black fog passing through, but a deep and dead pool.
When hundreds of fireballs came out from beneath the "black curtain", most of them had shrunk to the size of apples or even walnuts, and some of them even dispersed directly in the air.
And such a degree of "fire bomb" has basically lost its attack ability, not to mention any collective splashing effect. In the end, apart from the bluffing sound and light effects of smashing on the front of the Blue Skull Warriors, there was no other actual combat effect.
"Good!"
Seeing that the fireball bombardment of Gogo Demon was completely ineffective, the Black Warrior General was also very satisfied.
While signaling the Warlock Regiment to continue to maintain the density and stability of the "Dark Veil", he also ordered the Lich Squadron on the left to get ready.
"Your Excellency Jikfried..."
On the other side of the battlefield, Honutdin, who was in charge of commanding the Gogo Demon, couldn't help but become anxious when he saw that the group attack was fruitless and completely unable to cause damage to the undead main array. After ordering the two Gogo demon brigades to continue their all-out assault, they quickly flew back to the Super Cerberus, hoping to seek instructions.
"Leave that black fog alone!" Jikfried was also seeing the "Dark Curtain" for the first time, and although he was a little surprised, he didn't really care, and ordered: "Order Gogo to follow suit, shorten the projection distance, and use flat fire to directly attack the group of necromancers behind." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Honuuddin immediately returned to the ground and rearranged.
And at this moment, in the direction of the undead legion, Amber also issued an order to attack.
The first four rows of four hundred Blue Skull warriors also stepped neatly, and they faced the rolling demon army and launched a-for-tat counter-assault charge.
"Well, what do those bones want to do?"
Seeing this scene, the super hellhound in the air immediately became puzzled.
It stands to reason that the strength of the main undead array is at an absolute disadvantage compared to the demons, and only by relying on the cooperation with other troops such as death knights and lichs can it have the capital to maneuver. But now these four hundred skeleton warriors are directly thrown out to fight alone, and the death knight and the lich have not stood still, which is nothing less than a suicidal act.
At this thought, Jikfried couldn't help but raise a canine head and look at Negusta and Moriarty in the opposite airspace.
And it seems to be a coincidence, at the same time, Moriarty's gaze was also inductively cast onto him, and he showed a strange smile to the super hellhound. It seems to be provocative, and it seems to be disdainful.
Seeing this, Jikfried didn't think much about it, and roared towards the ground battlefield: "Demons, kill all the undead in front of you, kill them all!" (To be continued......)
