The undead can't breathe, so they don't drown. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But floods aren't swimming pools, they don't just "drown" other creatures – the mud, gravel, branches and even entire giant trees washed away by the five dammed lakes turned the entire torrent into a giant mixer. The strong current of the water carries debris and can tear apart almost everything that falls into the water.

The water that washed around Fort Trak was getting deeper and deeper, because it was so fast that it had accumulated five or six meters in half an hour. By this time, the undead creatures summoned by the necromancer had basically been scrapped - after being swept underwater, their bodies that were not strong were quickly torn apart by the undercurrent, and the most floating on the water at this moment were the "parts" on the skeleton soldiers' bodies.

And those who have been "awakened" by the dead, and many of them are struggling in the water...

But this struggle was futile, many of the undead were clearly only four or five meters away from the shore, but the turbulent undercurrent under the surface of the water separated them like an invisible wall - they paddled desperately, but they could not breathe, there was no air in their lungs, and they were all wearing extremely heavy armor, no matter how much strength they had, they sank to the bottom without suspense after a few minutes of fluttering.

The mud and countless impurities at the bottom of the flood collided with him, and the strength was no different from that of a weapon attack, and the undead who had exhausted their physical strength were powerless to defend themselves, so they were gradually buried.

The "Trapping Circle" has caused five dammed lakes to pour untold amounts of water, and although Roddy's goal is to kill the undead, it is clear that he does not have the means to accurately calculate exactly how much water is enough. When the entire army of the undead was submerged, the converging water still seemed to be unstoppable, and the water level continued to rise, from four meters to seven meters, and soon flooded the original gates of Trak City...

The people of the castle immediately began to bring in various supplies to block the gates, and most of the city's population began to move towards the higher inner cities, until thousands of people even stood on the inner and outer walls of Trak to escape the floods.

The rising tide of the water level finally slowed down and stopped after an hour, and thanks to the strength of the wooden copper gate, the flood that had been flooding the city gate for more than three meters was blocked out under the supplies that seven or eight low-level mages and thousands of people were desperately piling up.

Of course, the water leaking into the city was knee-deep at this point.

The receding water level relieved Kurca and Dasco. However, after glancing at the surrounding "lake", which had become a vast ocean, Dasco immediately spotted hundreds of undead soldiers who had narrowly escaped because of their proximity to the shore.

These undead basically ran out of physical strength in the flood, and after coming ashore, almost all of them were lying on the ground staggeredly, and the few who could stand also looked around blankly: Custer was defeated like a mountain, and he had no intention of fighting, and he had already fled to nowhere, so the soldiers who had lost their backbone became completely "outcasts".

Unrelenting, Dasco immediately signaled to the "Awakened" troops hiding in the distance, and he had only one order: kill all the surviving undead soldiers!

The "Awakened" cavalry, which had preserved their combat power, immediately began to mend their knives and harvest, and with their circle of remnants, even the undead who crawled out of the bottom of the flood could not escape death.

But compared to these hacked undead, those corpses that were buried at the bottom of the lake forever may not see the light of day until several years later...

In the battle, only 3,200 of the 20,000 undead escaped alive. The summoned 80,000 undead creatures and more than 16,000 soldiers were all drowned in the flood!

For the surviving humans such as the "Awakened" and Kurka, this battle completely reversed their passive situation, and it can even be said that it laid an unusually solid foundation for their future survival in Tasman.

A total of 40,000 undead troops were directly broken in half, and the blow to morale was not mentioned for the time being, as long as the nobles of the parliament were in their right minds, the remaining 20,000 would not send troops to trouble the "rebel army" again.

As for how the Tasman's parliament will deal with the "rebels" next... I'm afraid the biggest possibility is "appeasement", because Augustine first has to settle the denunciation of the noble council, and secondly, he has to negotiate with the old bones whether the remaining 20,000 troops will go to Karen...

All in all, it was a game-changing Tasman victory.

Kurka, who has little political experience with these abyssal results, is not aware of it at this time, and Dasco, who betrayed his class, only has a vague judgment, but the dragons, who are accustomed to looking down on the continental pattern, see it more truly than anyone else - because of this, they are more and more recognized by Roddy's next arrangement, and even can't wait to return to the village where Tevelin is located, and start the next preparations.

And Luo Di looked at the experience points of more than three million and smiled, not only did he gain a lot of experience, but all the soldiers and mages who participated in the mission shared the improvement brought by this big victory, and the average advanced level jumped up by seven levels!

In terms of strength, this is a complete qualitative transformation - if they change their weapons to match the level, then their combat effectiveness is almost doubled!

And Roddy's [taskbar] has also been updated:

【Judgment of the Throne of Bones】

"You have thwarted the plans of Augustine the Great with an unexpected stratagem! But this does not mean the end, but the beginning of a real nightmare!"

The quest reward bar has been changed, and the XP reward for the entire quest has suddenly increased from 2.17 million to 4.55 million, which must be related to killing the army of the undead, but the quest that was previously displayed in the "orange and yellow" font suddenly turns dark red.

This means that the task is "difficult to complete".

However, Roddy didn't care about the so-called difficulty at all, the corners of his mouth curled, he tightened his rain cloak, and flew to the village with Merinsela in a duck...

There, he had the last task of the trip.

In the middle of the night, in Oldmancius's study, Augustine, who was in a bad mood, was frowning at his desk.

Five days had passed since Yugza had lost contact, and Augustine was almost certain that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell exactly what had happened. As his favored descendant, Yugesa naturally holds a lot of good things at the bottom of the box, and his soul fire maintains a certain connection with himself: if Yugesa is mortally attacked, this connection will provide Augustine with a clue.

But now that Yugsa is not dead, he doesn't even have that clue.

Because the blood of the last "xeno" had been exhausted, the "Great Tracking Technique" to locate Tevelyn could no longer be used a second time, and now he could no longer use it to confirm Tevelin's location. For Augustine, there seemed to be no other way but to wait at the moment.

Although he has strong enough knights, strong mages who are good at different spells, and resourceful strategists, this is the only thing that no one can participate in...

But the lab was invaded and his experimental notes were reviewed, and Augustine realized that his long-kept experiments had been leaked. However, the whole experiment has entered the final verification step, and it is almost "one foot in the door" to be completed, rather than worrying about whether someone will come to the door, Augustine wants to complete the whole experiment as soon as possible and directly achieve his goal.

He didn't want to send his men to look for it anymore, because that would likely lead to the same outcome as Yugza. But if you go to find it in person, you won't mention whether the council will make trouble, but it's inefficient but it's true - Tevelyn casually changes his position, and going there by himself is no different from a blind cat hitting a mouse to death.

"Do you want to gamble or not..."

Wanting to reconfirm the location of Tevelin, Augustine was left with only one solution at the moment. His gaze involuntarily looked at the black tome on the desk...

"The Book of Demons", that's what Augustine called it.

At the same time, the destruction of the "avatar" brought the information that Roddy was a "demon hunter". Knowing what "Demon Hunter" meant, Augustine immediately accelerated his research on the book, and it was through the decipherment and study of the contents of the book that he had the circle that was now almost complete.

The content of the book is obscure and profound, and even Augustine's genius would have struggled to read most of it, but the painstaking study has also allowed him to gradually master the demonic system of spells, which if the theory is correct, he can forcibly cast a detection spell called "Awaken the Demon" in order to find all creatures with demonic blood.

Tevelyn is one of them.

But this spell is an unfinished version, the key to which has not yet been deciphered, if you want to forcibly release it, even with Augustine's level and strength, you will have to pay a lot of price, and it is possible to fail and be injured.

So after much hesitation, he finally took his eyes off the cover of the book.

"Wait another day. ”

Augustine said silently to himself, but at this moment, the sudden figure of intrusion from the outer courtyard made him frown—there should be no soldiers reporting information at midnight, but it was clear that there was an emergency at this time. Augustine had a flash of foreboding, and he stood up, and as soon as the squire handed him the letter, he hurriedly read it...

The next moment, this emperor, who had never been in the city, slammed his fist on the desk beside him!

"Phew!"

The violent mana wave rippled, the entire desk turned into strips of fiber powder under the shock, and all the items in the study shook violently, and the guards kneeling in front of Augustine were shocked out on the spot and fell to the ground unconscious...

Augustine hadn't been so angry for I don't know how many years, but the news on the letter made him want to tear down Oldmancius: 20,000 elite undead, 80,000 undead, and more than 3,000 escaped!

Isn't that kidding me?

In the agitated mood, Augustine did not lose his mind, on the contrary, after quickly weighing the pros and cons of the political situation, he made up his mind. After retreating, Augustine picked up the black tome and magically drew the hexagonal mark belonging to the demon out of thin air, and began to build the circle.

One detail after another was completed, and Augustine, who was trying to cast a spell for the first time, went all out, mobilized all his magic and began to chant the obscure spell, while suddenly breaking his little finger as a sacrifice to sustain the entire spell!

With a buzz, an obscure fluctuation suddenly swept out, but one of the details was missing part of the rune structure, which caused the spell to collapse on the spot after two seconds!

"Ahem!"

The violent mana backlash caused Augustine to cough and take three steps back. His face seemed to age more than ten years rapidly, but he still supported this backlash with his strong magical power.

It was an unsuccessful spell cast, and although it ultimately failed, the fluctuation that lasted for two seconds had already allowed Augustine to spy on too much information that he didn't know.

"It turns out... Over here. ”

The Tasman monarch wiped a handful of black-red blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled eerily. (To be continued.) )
