Chapter 137: The Tragedy of the Dead
When he saw the vampire Marquis Ian's fall, the necromancer Derian knew that it was all over.
He didn't continue to resist, but commanded his Great Corpse Witch troops to make way for the ceramic elementals, and then stayed quietly in the magic tower, silently watching Roger and Tuna command the ceramic elemental troops to demolish the city hall and destroy the core crystal.
With the destruction of the core crystals of Alchemy City, the strategic buildings that operated based on the city's mana pools slowly ceased to function. In the entire city, only the undead army, which had completely lost control, was still actively attacking the Elemental Legion, and the rest of the place had become quiet, as if it were a dead city.
In fact, it's really a dead city.
Including the undead forces that are still active, there is no living life in the entire Evil Spirit Fortress for a long time. At the psychic tower in the center of the city of the dead, the overflowing power of death has already strangled all living beings within the scope of this original dungeon.
Whether it is a rat with tenacious vitality or a ubiquitous bug, all of them have been robbed of all their vitality by the force of death and turned into corpses. Even the ground beneath his feet has been eroded by the power of death, and has become a barren land where no plants can grow anymore.
If there were no druids or priests to cleanse the land, it would have taken at least a hundred years for it to recover naturally.
This is where the undead forces are most criticized, except for the undead. No living creature can move freely in this barren land, and the power of death will continue to erode life. till all things come to death......
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the front door of the magic tower was blown away by Tuna's punch. Without the support of the mana pool. The heavy door could no longer be opened in the normal way, so Tuna simply broke into the door.
Wendy is still cleaning up the undead in the city, so the only ones who come to find the remaining undead hero are Roger and Tuna.
Derian held the wine glass with an unusually calm expression, toasted the two uninvited guests from afar, and then drank the bright red wine in the glass himself.
Roger looked at the necromancer with some doubts, and in Derian's complicated expression, he saw helplessness, unwillingness, regret, and loss, but there was no resentment, but a trace of relief.
It's weird.
It was obvious that he saw Roger's doubts. Derian smiled and shook his head, and drank to himself. As he drank, he began to mutter to himself.
"I've known each other since I was a kid, he's my neighbor, the same age as me. The two of us have been fighting together since we were kids, but every time we fight, I get beaten more. In this regard, I was actually very unconvinced when I was a child. Derian said this, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, and it was clear that the memories of his childhood were indeed very good.
"We were supposed to be like our fathers. Be a farmer for life. However, when we were twenty years old, the undead invaded. At this, Derian shook his head, and the look on his face became more complicated. Right in front of me, to protect me, Ian was drained of blood by a vampire. ”
"When I wake up again. I'm already a necromancer apprentice. And Ian, too, became a little vampire baron. Honestly. We were lucky enough not to turn into the lowest skeletons or zombies. ”
Derian's words were a bit inverted. However, Roger and Tuna were able to understand the specific meaning. At this point, Roger and Tuna also guessed what Derian wanted to do.
"The Principality of Antelope, this is the name of the small country where the current land of the dead, Dimons, was located. And the person in charge of destroying our hometown at that time was the commander of the 37th Legion of the Undead Empire, the irascible skull Najisen. Saying this, Derian directly threw a small package to Roger, which was caught by Tuna first.
Derian didn't care, and continued with an indifferent expression: "Ian and I have both been robbed of some of our souls, so Ian is already a legendary, but he is always just a Marquis of the Blood Clan. And because a part of his soul is in his hands, we have never been able to directly resist him. The package in your hand contains some information about Najisen that we have collected privately, and we have not read the contents of it, so we don't know if it is useful or not, but this is the maximum resistance we can do. ”
As soon as the words fell, Derian's entire left hand started from his shoulder, and fell directly out of Derian's body to the ground. Derian didn't even glance at his left hand, and continued, "Just now, that part of my soul has been destroyed by Najisen, and I won't be able to hold out for long. Be careful, although Najisen is known for his Ghost Dragon Legion, it is said that he also has a legendary Ghost Dragon, but we have never seen it before. But there is no wind and no waves, and this legendary ghost dragon is likely to exist. Even if it's not a legend, I'm afraid it's a tenth-order ghost dragon. ”
Visible to the naked eye, there was a special white point of light slowly emanating from Derian's body, and Roger saw that his heart was slightly pantothenic.
It was a fragment of Derian's soul, and it was clear that Derian's soul was rapidly fading. Behind Derian, Roger's old acquaintance, His Excellency Reaper, also spread his hands helplessly at Roger, like this, the soul is constantly disappearing, even the Grim Reaper cannot be saved, let alone taken to the underworld.
Derian was about to drink another glass of wine when it fell to the ground with his right hand. Looking at the bright red wine flowing on the ground with some pity, Derian muttered to himself, "I'm sorry, Ian, this wine was originally intended to be given to you, after all, I can't drink the taste of wine for a long time......"
The voice is getting lower and lower. At one point, Derian's body fell apart. All kinds of body parts fell all over the ground. But Derian's head that fell to the ground looked very serene. It was as if he had not collapsed because of the death of his soul, but had simply fallen asleep.
Roger slowly closed his eyes and whispered a spell, and the force of nature slowly enveloped Derian's remains, sweeping away the power of death on his remains.
Lots of white dots of light slowly floated out of Derian's remains, gradually dissipating into the air.
Turning around and leaving the magic tower with Tuna, Roger went straight to the psychic tower in the center of the city, where the alchemy city core of the undead strength was located.
“…… Doesn't it mean that the souls of the dead who have dissipated will disappear directly? How could he keep saying so much? Tuna's words reached Roger's ears.
Roger didn't answer.
It's just that his right hand has been clenched into a fist. Hold it tightly.
did not completely wipe out all the undead here, Roger, who had demolished the core of the city, directly gathered the troops under his command such as the dwarven heavy artillery unit, and then directly opened the gate of time and space at the city gate.
Wendy, who has always liked to disagree with Roger, seems to have seen that Roger is in a bad mood, and rarely honestly gave up the idea of continuing to purge the undead, and obediently gathered the Qi Elemental Army.
On the other side of the space-time gate, connected is the newly established Elemental City.
As soon as Roger crossed the gate of time and space, he met Elsa holding a fireball.
Aisha, who was originally smiling, couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Roger with a straight face. The small fireball jumped directly onto Roger's shoulder, and the low air pressure that shrouded Roger didn't seem to affect it at all.
Looking at Aisha with some worry on her face. Roger squeezed out a somewhat stiff smile: "Wait a minute, I'm going to take most of the troops here, it's not safe here, you can follow me then." By the way, have you already sent Illidan and Melina away? ”
Elsa, who estimated that Roger was just in a bad mood and not defeated, nodded. He followed Roger directly, "The Moonblade Dancer Force and the Phantom Shooter Force have both sent them away, but Ina and the others insist on staying. So the high-tier druid units are still here. ”
Shaking his head, Roger didn't say anything. After all, the mana converging ability of a high-tier druid can be very useful for the rest of the battle. Just let them follow. Roger waved his hand at Tuna, who was beside him, and then went straight to the alchemy lair. A ninth-order ghost dragon is not easy to deal with. Roger prepares to bring with him the strongest unit in Elemental City: the Phoenix.
Although there are only a hundred phoenixes in this elemental city, they should barely be enough. After all, the eight ninth-order fire phoenixes in the lead were the elites who had received some of the power of the "Vermilion Bird" at the beginning, and their strength was much higher than that of the other sixteen ninth-order fire phoenixes, which was completely enough to compete with the ninth-order ghost dragons.
Looking at the back of Roger, who was hurrying towards the alchemy lair, Aisha quietly approached Tuna and asked the reason in a low voice. Tuna didn't mean to hide it, and told Elsa everything that happened along the way, and Elsa quickly understood why Roger was in a bad mood.
However, in the face of this situation, Aisha obviously has no good way but to help Tuna collect the Earth Elemental Legion.
This raid on the Evil Spirit Castle, the loss of the Elemental Legion is not small, but the ordinary seventh-order elemental troops have enough reserves in the Emerald City and the Elemental City Elliment on the ground, so there is no need to worry about having no soldiers available. However, the loss of the boulder element is more troublesome, when attacking the evil spirit fortress, the thirty boulder elements fell seventeen, and the remaining thirteen boulder elements are obviously not enough to cause enough damage to the city wall, and Roger has no intention of bringing these big guys with him.
Similarly, although the strength of the armed rock elemental troops is good, their speed is really a little slow, so they are also temporarily excluded. After all, what is needed now is speed, and Rabbit and Ke'er are still entangled with the undead legion under the command of Najisen with the Elemental Legion of Water and Fire.
Dwarven heavy artillery units also suffered losses, but their losses were mainly due to overheating of mortars and artillery, and the Dwarven Craftsmen and Dwarven Masters were no less. At this moment, the dwarves are preparing ammunition with great interest under the leadership of Master Ouattara. Although the dwarven heavy cannon has already undergone a combat test, the dwarven masters seem to be having a good time firing the cannon, so they plan to conduct another combat test. After recording the cause of the damage of the six cannons, the dwarven masters who were full of gunsmoke began to compete for the position of gunners, after all, without six cannons, there will always be dwarven masters who have nothing to play.
It didn't take long for Roger, who had gone to the phoenix's nest in the city, to return soon. Behind him, hundreds of phoenixes glided slowly, and their gorgeous fiery red feathers fluttered to the ground, forming clusters of small flames.
This time, Roger will directly lead the Elemental Legion out of the nest, and except for the slow-moving armed Rock Elemental troops and the Lava Elemental who are responsible for guarding the Elemental City, there is no hero left in the entire Elemental City. (To be continued......)
