Chapter 1: The Limits of Humanity?
In the area at the back of the middle of the Death Route, a fierce battle was taking place at this moment.
On one side is the coalition of adventurers in this sea, and these adventurers come together to represent the most powerful combat power in this sea.
But in the face of an endless stream of undead creatures, the adventurers did not take advantage of anything.
It's not that they can't deal with these undead creatures, but these undead creatures keep appearing as if they are endless, and what is even more terrifying is that the longer they fight, the crew on their side are also transformed into undead creatures one by one, and then become their own enemies.
"If we continue like this, we will be wiped out, retreat!"
Brent was not the commander of this battle, but as the battle progressed, Brent made more correct judgments because of his experience in fighting the other side, so as the battle progressed, most of the adventurers were willing to obey Brent's command.
It is basically difficult for this kind of temporary combined forces to form a unified command system, but as the war progresses, they have no better choice, and they may believe that Brent can still save his life.
Not all adventurers are willing to give their lives for the sake of 'justice', and there have been many deserters in this battle that has lasted for several days.
"Summons all the ships to support the artillery fire and hinder the enemy's pursuit. ”
Don't go too deep, always keep your team within the area where the guns can support you, and carefully push forward almost one meter at a time to ensure that you don't get ambushed - when the team gathers together, you have a chance to kill your opponent even if you encounter an ambush suddenly.
These are all suggestions made by Brent, and several captains who believe in Brent have kept their men well, which also makes more people trust Brent.
The battleship cruising on the seashore received the signal, and countless naval guns flashed with colorful light, and when they carried out a covering shelling attack on the area in front of Brent, a gray energy slowly rose from the ground, not only blocking the energy cannonball in the air, but what was even more terrifying was that this energy actually turned into a huge cover, covering everyone in it.
The last adventurer who was about to return to the sea to board the ship, as soon as he touched this layer of gray energy, he immediately felt cold, his whole consciousness began to be in a trance, and a primitive bloodthirsty impulse rose from the bottom of his heart, and then he didn't know anything......
In the eyes of others, this person suddenly turned into a raging undead, launching a crazy attack on his companions around him, because it happened so suddenly, many people were killed by their former companions without reacting to what was going on.
"Still fooled......"
The other party has this method, but it has not been used during this time, Brent has been careful enough before, he does not even let his crew all land, and also recommends that most of the adventuring team land in batches, and increase the 'troops' on the island as they advance.
It was clear that the other party was trying to lure them all to the island in the first place, and only then trapped them.
"You're good. ”
The almost boundless army of the undead in front of him suddenly stopped its offensive and at the same time split a path, and a man in a gorgeous costume walked out of the group of undead.
"Beckford!"
Brent recognized this man as the target this time: Beckford, a madman who tried to turn everyone on the ocean into an undead, whom he had never seen before, and who feared that Beckford had left.
Now it seems that Beckford is no longer willing to continue to hide, his plans have been revealed, and there is no need to continue to cover up.
What he has to do now is to use his absolute strength to advance his plan and destroy all those who stand in his way.
"Although your previous arrangement allowed the adventurers to preserve nearly a third of their strength, do you think they will be able to stop me without the leadership of your powerful captains?"
Beckford's expression was very calm, not at all like a winner about to win a huge victory, he was just calmly stating a fact, his tone was cold and there were no emotional fluctuations, and everyone heard this person speak with a chill all over his body - this guy, can he still be called a human?
One of the captains was very uncomfortable, and in order to hide this, he asked Beckford opposite: "Why are you doing all this, and what good is it for you to turn everyone into undead and destroy this world?"
Beckford glanced at the man, and the emotionless look in his eyes made the captain feel even more chilled.
"I've said a long time ago that I'm here to save the world. Although Beckford stood still and did not move, the undead under his command have been moving slowly, and the ground around him has been burrowed out of the undead, and some of the crew members are also being transformed into undead, and the adventurers have been surrounded by groups.
Brent had already discovered this, but he couldn't do anything, he knew that the chills on everyone's bodies were not because Beckford was uncomfortable, under this gray energy cover, everyone was slowly infiltrating by the invasion of death energy, and everyone was slowly turning into undead.
Beckford was stalling for time, he didn't have to do anything, just wait for everyone here to turn into undead, and he would naturally win.
What to do?
Brent's first thought was to ask Ethan, but Ethan wasn't here, which was too embarrassing.
He didn't speak, but the other captain next to him couldn't accept Beckford's remarks and directly reprimanded the other party.
"Save the world? What do you deserve to do to save the world? Is your way to kill everybody?"
Although the captains did not know the situation of the gray cover very well, they instinctively made them aware of the crisis, but they did not know where the crisis was, which made everyone's mood very impatient, and the tone of their voices was very impulsive.
Beckford showed no signs of anger and continued to look at the man with calm eyes.
"There are limits to this world...... There is also a limit to the resources of this world...... And human beings ...... There are also limits!"
It's not the first time Brent has heard of Beckford's theory, and sometimes he feels that there is some truth to Brent's claim.
If you become an undead, the consumption of various materials will be minimized, and the impact of various bad environments on this sea area on the undead will not be as serious as that of humans, and at the same time, after becoming an undead, both strength and endurance will be strengthened, and you will no longer be subject to the limits of the human body.
Just look at the lowest-level undead around them, they can only suppress these monsters with the best combat suits in this area, and most of the soldiers who don't have such good equipment can only rely on the cooperation of their comrades and better combat wisdom and experience to deal with each other.
Taking a deep breath, Brent felt that his emotions were not right, how could he agree with the other party at this time?
Not to mention the so-called human limits...... He thought of Ethan again, the young man had obviously broken through the human level, so the so-called limit did not exist at all.
"I've been on the ocean for many years, but I didn't expect to always want to pin my hopes on a young man, and it seems that I'm just so level. ”
Laughing at himself in his heart, Brent straightened up again and raised his great sword.
He reaffirmed his heart, put Beckford's words aside, and loudly reminded the captains around him about the gray shroud.
Everyone's faces turned very ugly when they heard that they were slowly being invaded by the death energy, and if they didn't get out of here as soon as possible, everyone would become undead.
Several captains began to observe the surrounding crew, and found that most of the people's faces had turned blue and black, and the eyes of a few had already emitted an evil and strange light, and they were only a thin line away from becoming undead, but they were only supported by their extraordinary spiritual will.
The eyes of these captains all turned red, and many of these crew members had been with them day and night for more than ten years and had very deep feelings, but now they wanted to watch them turn into monsters, and then they had to fight with them, just thinking about it was unacceptable.
"Beckford, you must die!"
Some of the impulsive ones had already rushed out of the crowd and pounced on Beckford, and the movements of these men were like blowing the horn of a charge, and all the adventurers began to rush towards the endless undead.
This is the last battle, and they are going to use up all their strength while they still have their sanity, and then die here.
Even if they can't escape the fate of being turned into an undead in the end, they don't want to make Beckford feel better.
In a desperate situation, the adventurers made the same decision without any deliberation.
Including Brent, they now want to weaken Beckford's 'power' as much as possible, and keep the surviving adventurers alive with hope of final victory.
Even if it's not very promising.
For some reason, Brent suddenly felt that as long as Ethan was still around, hope was not as small as he thought.
Thinking of the young man's strength, he suddenly smiled, the big sword in his hand seemed to have become much lighter, and he wielded it more favorably, and a single sword sweep could wipe out all the dozen or so undead around him.
But in Beckford's eyes, Brent showed a hideous and crazy smile, his eyes were full of evil energy, the speed of the big sword in his hand had long exceeded his previous limit speed, his body and spirit were strengthened by the power of death, only the last critical point, he would become a powerful warrior under Beckford.
"You think you can weaken me? No, you're strengthening me. ”
Beckford still stood there, looking at the brave captains, and finally there was a look on his face.
