239. Total War
Before the earth entered the federal era, there was a saying on the Internet, called "After learning the operation of my brother, the rest is just Ping A". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There are many representatives who believe in this idea, and on the Miracle Continent, the representative of the human side is undoubtedly Hela. Garcia. The big man, one of the ten generals, only needs to establish enough advantages, and what remains is the simplest flat push policy, and even the tactics can be completely omitted.
But now, if there is a non-human representative, then it is undoubtedly Lake.
Scourge of the Dead. Lake.
This title is no joke, he is one of the most powerful Lich Kings in the entire Bone Plane, and the most war-oriented Lich. There are not a few dimensional worlds that he has conquered and annexed, and his methods have always been very simple: first small-scale development with small fights, and then by quickly conquering and sacking a country as a declaration, it only takes a few years for him to be able to wipe out all the creatures in an entire plane.
Only this time, his luck was not so good.
After being trapped in the miracle plane for so long and finally getting out of the trap, some accidents forced him to open the door of bones in advance and summon the army of undead under his command. Originally, in Lake's plan, it shouldn't take too long for him to conquer the entire plane, but what he didn't expect was that his plan was twisted and turned again and again.
The overall combat power level of the miracle plane is even higher than Lake expected.
If it weren't for the unexpected collapse of the Peace Council three years ago, which caused the situation in the entire Miracle Continent to become more turbulent, Lake's army of bones would have been completely resolved. In a sense, Sean solved the matter of the Peace Council and brought the entire Miracle Continent into a new era, but saved Lake on the side - if Sean knew about this result, I am afraid that he would have negotiated with the Peace Council in a different way.
The Peace Council was resolved in order to kick out the roadblocks that prevented the Void Principality from advancing to the Void Empire.
But in fact, what Sean has always considered the biggest crisis is not this, but Lake.
He wants to make the Void Empire form, although there are not many ways, but there is still a way to come up with a way to coexist with the Peace Council. It's just that, for some reason, Sean is extremely angry, so he will choose the simplest, most violent, and most crisp way to solve the problem.
And the relationship between him and Lake is one that cannot coexist.
Whether it's public or private, Lake shouldn't exist in this world.
At this moment, Rykzhen was suspended in mid-air, silently watching as his army of the undead broke through the gates of a city and then swarmed in.
The dense army of white bones formed a sea of white, and they swarmed into the city—whether it was the city walls, or the rooftops, the streets, the city gates, everything, all of them were captured by these ant-like skeletons in an instant. Suspended in the sky, you can even clearly see that this white sea is swallowing up the entire city at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if a gray monster is eating.
In the city, there is also a group of soldiers who have been left behind after the break, and almost all of these soldiers are wounded, and it can even be said that there is only one breath left. And in addition, there are many city dwellers who have not had time to evacuate, although most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, but they still have the tools to fight hard. It's just that trying to use these people to intercept this skeleton army, which is probably more than a million in size, is undoubtedly a fool's dream.
It's just that Lake, who is suspended in the sky, exudes momentum all over his body, but it is obviously not much better.
It can even be said that he is very angry.
For he has discovered that his enemies have learned wisely.
It took him more than five days to take the city down, and he lost more than 20,000 necromantic warriors and hundreds of thousands of skeleton soldiers. Although the latter can not care if he dies hundreds of thousands, millions, but a necromancer-level undead warrior, let alone 20,000, even a few thousand is enough to make Ryker angry, not to mention a 20,000-scale necromancer-level warrior, there will inevitably be dozens of high-level undead in it.
But all of these were wiped out when the city was conquered.
And the price in exchange is only less than 100,000 people.
More than eighty percent of these people are old, weak, sick and disabled.
Such a person, even if it is made into materials, can only become the lowest-level skeleton soldiers, and I am afraid that it will not even be able to achieve a one-to-one conversion, after all, many of them are missing arms and legs, and they must also need to be pieced together. Not to mention the transformation into necromancy-level undead, the "materials" captured in this city can be made into a hundred necromancy-level warriors, and Lake feels hanging.
After paying such a big price, but only reaping so much rags, how could Lake's mood be good.
"Lucas, what's going on over there?" Lake uses the unique spiritual bridge of the bone plane to connect with Rucas.
"These damn rats, learn smart!" An undead scholar who is also one of the seven Lich Kings of the Bone Plane. Little Lucas's voice sounded unusually angry, "I've lost a team of Black Warriors!" As a result, I only caught 10,000 bone materials! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! ……”
In the mental bridge, little Lucas's roaring and scolding full of negative energy almost deafened Lake's ears - if he had.
"I was attacked by several Church Knights, and the fighting was ...... Fierce. "On the Bone Plane, one of the thirteen kings on a par with the Seven Lich Kings, Aine is known as the Knight of Death. Lucas, little Lucas's biological brother, also sounded at this moment.
Hearing this, the undead fire in Lake's eyes jumped a few times, obviously an emotional fluctuation.
has worked with Rucas and Lucas for so long, and he naturally has a similar understanding of their temperament. Rucas Jr. has a very typical scholarly personality, and if there is one person who best fits the traditional impression of the Lich King, it must be Rucas Jr.: he is rigorous and serious, likes to delve into more combat than fight, but he will not hesitate to choose bloody practice when necessary, for example, to test his theories.
But in the same way, one of the typical traits of a researcher is that he is nervous, irritable, and prone to falling into a state of madness.
In a sense, Lucas Jr. was the best of the three.
And his older brother, Ann. Lucas, the Knight of Death, is not.
He is cautious by nature, meticulous and observant, even if he has become an undead, but Ahn. Lucas, on the other hand, still has an excellent strategic acumen. And after becoming an undead, the benefits to An En are far more than that, he has abandoned all emotions and desires, and he will not be affected by any ridicule, provocation and other abilities at all, he knows very well what he should do when he should do, especially the body that will not be injured and killed, and it has brought him a lot of combat capital: he can use the price of exchanging injuries for injuries to drag his rival down, paralyzed and even consumed to death.
But because of this, it was clear to Lake that after so many wars, Ahn had never had much to say about the battles he fought. After all, Ryker and Lucas Jr. had handed over all the high-level undead of all cavalry types to Ahn to command - it can be said that Ahn currently has more than a thousand Dread Knights under his command, as well as hundreds of undead knights and Knights of Destruction.
Purely in terms of the combat power of this Mobile Knights unit, unless the Millennium Covenant Empire dispatches a top ace combat force like the Dragon Knights, it will be difficult to resist this undead cavalry force with the Death Knight in charge.
But now, Ann used the evaluation of "fierce" for the war that just ended.
This is an unusual signal.
"The results." Lake asked.
As a Lich King who is ready to launch a bone invasion at every turn and fight here, Ryker's strategic ability is naturally good. At this moment, he only said two words, and he had already pointed to the key core of the problem. Lucas, naturally, also understood, and even Xiao Lucas, who had been chattering non-stop in the spiritual bridge communication, stopped chattering at this time.
"Three hundred Dread Knights have been deposed." Big Rucas's voice was low, "There are more than twenty more undead knights and knights of destruction who have also been deposed. ”
It was abolished, and the meaning is obvious, that is, it can no longer fight and can no longer be used.
And in Ann. Under the command of Lucas, once these high-level undead lose their combat value, then they will naturally be devoured by them. After all, the bodies of these high-level undead creatures are also supported by a considerable amount of undead power as a power source, and An En will not watch these resources being wasted.
"So the harvest ......"
"It's useless." Ahn's voice came again, "The Church Knights who joined forces, all the church knights who died in battle, have all been purified. …… They were clearly prepared, and all their tactics were clearly aimed at us, even more cunning than in the previous battles. …… We're afraid we'll no longer be able to access high-end materials. ”
"I don't believe there are so many divine fires!" Little Lucas burst into flames again.
In order to prevent the bodies of these high-ranking clergy from being desecrated and humiliated after death, the clergy affiliated with the Church of the Gods are generally implanted with divine fire condensed by the divine power and divine grace of the gods who believe in the gods. As long as the church knight implanted with the divine fire dies and completely loses its life characteristics, the divine fire will ignite the corpse, and finally burn to the point that there are no ashes left, and the souls of all the dead will be directly connected to the kingdom of God by the passage built when the divine fire is ignited.
And through this means, the soul of the deceased will not be intercepted, which can be said to be an extremely safe method.
After all, in this world, there are too many means to intercept the souls of the deceased, so that they cannot rest in peace after death.
It's just that this method of implanting divine fire requires the consumption of a large amount of divine power from the gods. The source of divine power is the condensation of the power of faith, and the size and amount of a god's divine power can directly determine the size and scope of a god's own divine kingdom and the level of the godhead. It is precisely because of this that the person who can be implanted with divine fire is naturally a symbol of extreme grace, after all, even the Holy Son and Holy Maiden do not necessarily have divine fire implanted in their bodies.
But now, these church knights who participated in the invasion of the bones, regardless of their status, have implanted divine fire in their bodies, which is enough to make people shocked.
Instinctively, Lake sensed a conspiracy against him.
In fact, not only Lake, but also Little Rucas, who still has some researcher mentality who can't tell the difference, has also realized this.
They, already targeted.
And it is also the target of completely formed strategies and routines.
"It seems that there are big shots interfering in the game." Lake laughed grimly, "The implantation of the divine fire can make these religious maniacs more courageous, no wonder they have always been weak and incompetent, and they actually have the courage to join forces against you." ”
"The Twilight goddess of this world?" Ann said.
Here in the Millennium Covenant Empire, the only person who is qualified to be called a powerful god is the Twilight Goddess. Although the Church of the God of War had also sent the Knights to participate in the war, they were soon evacuated from the battlefield, which is said to be related to the expedition related to the Void Empire's invasion of the Duchy of Rembell. But in any case, among the many churches on the side of the Millennium Covenant Empire, the god who is qualified to rule them is indeed the only one who is qualified to rule them.
"It's hard to say...... "Maybe it's ......"
Before Lake could finish speaking, at this moment, the undead fire danced in his eyes and suddenly lit up, and the flames even rushed out of his eyes at one point.
This is the emotional expression of his extreme anger!
Feeling Lake's mood swings, the inquiring voice of the big and small Lucas brothers soon came from the mental bridge: "What's wrong?" ”
"I'm quarantined!" Lake said in a deep voice, although his emotions had calmed down, his anger had not changed at all, "The location of the fear cage has been exposed, and it has been completely isolated by a force of law, and I can't get in touch with the troops over there." …… Someone, while we were out fighting, attacked the Dread Cage! It's a trap, and all of it's a trap for us! ”
"I'll go!" Ann. Lucas said in a deep voice, "I'm the closest over there, I ......"
The voice suddenly disappeared.
Lake's consciousness jumped slightly.
"I can't go." After a moment of silence, Ahn's voice finally rang out again, "Kokire is in front of me. ”
"It turned out that kid made a move." In Ryker's consciousness, there was a look of disdain, "Then I'll let Cruise's touch move...... but as soon as the words fell, a burst of annoyance came from Ryke's consciousness: "Tungsten Ramo!" This damn guy actually found the hiding place of Cruise's Touch! ”
"It looks like it's going to be all-out war." An En's voice was a little solemn, "Ko Kilei's strength has reached the level of a plane powerhouse, and it is not weaker than me. …… I'm afraid, I'm going to break the spiritual bridge in a while. ”
"It is impossible for only one person on the other side to become stronger, it should be collective, so now there are still people who have not shown up...... Alexis. Lake's voice was particularly somber.
"She's mine! It's mine! Little Lucas let out an angry roar.
Lake didn't say anything about it.
"It's just the two of us, Alexis is either looking for you or coming for me." There was silence for a moment before Lake spoke, "But don't worry, if Alexis appears in front of me, I will tell you the coordinates, and you can just come here." …… Since that kid dares to send everyone out and start an all-out war, it's time to deal with him, I've kept him alive long enough. ”
It's not that Lake didn't think about assassinating Sean before, it's just that the Void Empire has always had more than two plane powerhouses in charge, and Lake has always been dragged on the battlefield by the Millennium Covenant Empire, so he really didn't have the skills, so he didn't find a chance.
But now that Sean has sent all the powerhouses of the plane, Lake thinks that this is the best opportunity to kill Sean!
"I ...... There are also people in front of you. A moment later, the voice of little Lucas rang out, "The other party claimed to be ...... Imoku. Damn, what a man! The strength is still so strong, this is obviously a plane powerhouse! Alexis that. Son! Damn it! Damn it! ”
Ann. Lucas's heart sank slightly: "There is actually a fourth plane powerhouse!?" ”
And thinking of this, there is also the Lich King, Ryker. But he thought of something more than Ahn: the Touch of Cruise was a secret weapon they hadn't used again. Originally, he was going to use this secret weapon as the last weapon to completely annex the entire thousand-year-old Covenant Empire, after all, he had lost one Cruise Touch before, and it was impossible to completely integrate all the Cruise Touches, but if only nine fusions were retained, it could still produce combat power equivalent to a plane powerhouse.
Lake has always treated this as his hole card.
The only thing he needed was to find an opportunity to use this Cruise Touch to break through the gates of the Millennium Covenant Empire, and of course he himself could go to Sean for trouble.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that he had already been given a preemptive strike by Sean before he could find a chance.
And what surprised him even more was that Sean actually found the fourth plane powerhouse, which meant that each of them had a separate goal. And there is no doubt that since a full-scale war has broken out, then what will follow must be a life-and-death war, and it will never be possible to keep each other as before.
Since the opponents of Cruise's Touch and the Great and Small Rucas brothers are not Alexis, Lake knows that his opponent must be the one who killed Takehime.
Just as Lake was quietly waiting for his opponent to arrive, a strong aura of order suddenly erupted from the southeast! (To be continued.) )
