Chapter 546: Death or Life: Preparing to Face Death
With the inherent enchantment, he intimidated everyone present in one fell swoop, and Xiao Lanzai, who confirmed his dominance, immediately gave his own plan.
However, although it is a plan, it is a bit too simplistic.
"You already know a lot of information, but as the bishop said, you don't know the nature of the Necromantic King, so no matter how elaborate your previous plan is, it will not make any sense, the so-called strategy in the face of his absolute power is meaningless, even if you can defeat all the necromancers and even all the resurrected Heroic Spirits, as long as he personally intervenes, the defeated will be resurrected, and no one can resist the "god". It was not alarmist that he first told a key message, but when the group suddenly frowned, he continued, "But there is no absoluteness in everything, there is a saying in the East called "Fifty Dao, Tianyan Forty-nine, Escape One of them", which roughly means that there will be no absolute and complete lack of opportunities in the world...... To put it simply, I am one of those who have escaped. ”
"The power of "death" can only be fought against by "life", and the king of death can only be faced by me and only me, and when the power of life added to me and the power of death are counteracted, I can pull him into a spiritual duel - he used to be the nothingness in my heart, and defeating him is also defeating myself. But unfortunately, if I rush directly alone, it doesn't make sense, the result is definitely to repeat the same fate as the original goddess of war, my strength is only able to fight against the king of the necromancy, it doesn't matter if an ordinary skeleton zombie or something, but if a heroic spirit joins in, it will become the last straw that breaks the camel's back. ”
Xiao Lan's words continued. The more the group listened, the expression on their faces became more and more gloomy, but they all continued to listen patiently.
"So, before I can decide it with him, someone must stop the other undead from joining our war. This is also the key task for you: to hold back the nine key Heroic Spirits. Anything else is useless, other strategies are meaningless for the undead who don't intend to use any conspiracy, the only thing you have to do is to rush through the necromantic barrier with me to the Necromantic King, and then hold on until I solve the void in my heart and deal with the Necromantic King...... That's about it. ”
After this last sentence was uttered, everyone fell into a deathly silence.
After a while, the cardinal spoke, and asked slowly in a hoarse voice, "Do you really understand what you are doing?" ”
"Of course." Xiao Lan replied lightly.
"Hey. Then I don't have anything more to say...... Sure enough, it is young people who have the courage to break through. The old man sighed again, his voice growing hoarse, and then looked at Arthur and Merlin, two equally crucial figures. What about the two of you? ”
"No matter what, I will never sit still, but if I have to die, I am not opposed to this kind of ending of fighting to the death." The words of the Knight King were carried with unwavering perseverance. Because it's not a matter of politics, it's a matter of principle.
And the Prophet Merlin. With a wry smile, he just asked rhetorically, "Do we have a choice?" ”
-- The answer is no.
Everyone present knew that Britain at this moment had been surrounded by necromancers from the sea, and there would be no reinforcements that could cross the strait by means other than flying, and the undead spirits who did not stop could quickly erode into the Aegean Sea and more distant areas, and the longer the time dragged on, the more departed heroes and dead people would be awakened from Hades, and the only chance was to solve the source of the crisis before the situation expanded.
However, it is a pity that what Xiao Lan said is difficult to accept. But I couldn't find a single bit of error -
This is no longer the only option, the only option in the middle of the list. But the decision to choose this option is not easy.
After a silent exchange of glances with several key people with decision-making power, the cardinal, who had been silent since just now, slowly stood up, and at this moment there was no longer the original divine light in his eyes, just like an old tree that had died and could fall down at any time, trembling there with cloudy old eyes kept looking at the people present, or staring at Xiao Lan.
"According to your plan, this is almost destined to become a brutal war of attrition, rushing into the line of the undead all the way to the Lord of the Necromancy, and then supporting it until the end of the battle surrounded by countless necromancers, you need to deal with countless necromancers and even those former heroes, every step forward and every second of support represents the death of more people, please forgive me...... I really don't see any chance of victory. ”
"So I'm begging you, even a little, so that I can give the others a target to fight...... You must have something to bring hope of victory, right? ”
At this time, he is not a servant of God, but just an old man who is about to push countless people to death, devout believers can indeed sacrifice themselves for God, but that is because they know that they can ascend to heaven after death, but when facing the king of the necromancy, this has become an absolutely impossible luxury, and if it is to participate in a battle that is not destined to win, the most important morale will be low to a point of outrageousness!
So the old man, who had the lives of countless priests in his hands, asked a question, and then ...... He got an exact answer.
"I don't have any hope of victory, we need to fight for it ourselves." One sentence made people's faces darken again, but the next sentence of the demon made their hearts tremble, "But I don't want to die, or rather, I want to try not to die." ”
"So, I still made some necessary preparations......"
Under the confused and puzzled gazes on the faces of the group at the same time, Xiao Lan took out two ancient books in gold and black from his storage props, as well as a gold bracelet in the shape of a scorpion, and placed them directly in front of him one by one-
The fighters didn't understand the situation yet, but the others felt it instantly.
"They are all high-grade treasures, and this shape and breath are ...... Is it an Egyptian treasure? ”
The well-informed Merlin quickly recognized their origins, while the cardinal frowned slightly, the servants of God really did not have a good opinion of Egypt in the Old Testament as the chosen people of the persecution of God.
But if he is not used to it, it will not have a big impact on things.
Selectively ignoring the cardinal's awkward expression, he reached out and pushed the three treasures in front of him from the round table to Merlin's face, after the archmage was stunned for a moment, then unceremoniously reached out and picked it up directly, and then said, "The two scriptures are the Black Sutra of the Dead and the Golden Sutra of the Sun, both of which I got from Hamnata, the capital of the dead in Thebes. The Black Sutra records the spells of the dark system of the undead, and the Golden Sutra records the spells of the light restoration system, although this should be a priest's treasure book, but it is more like a magic book to use, and it can be used by injecting magic power and reciting incantations. Among them, the necromantic system in the spells of the Black Sutra is basically meaningless, but the terrain change and plastic energy summoning these will still be useful, and there are many spells against the necromancers such as the Undead Killer in the Golden Sutra, if it were you, you should be able to bring them to the best ...... You should know Old Thebes, right? ”
Merlin had already opened the two scriptures, touched the carvings that seemed to be made of gold and non-gold, and muttered there, and only after hearing Xiao Lan's question did he raise his head fiercely and glared at him, "Of course it will!" I've never been to the Far East, but I've been to the whole of Europa. ”
"The ancient mages of Egypt used a deep study of the soul, but there are very few that have been inherited now, I have always regretted this matter, I didn't expect that today there would be a chance to get this kind of treasure crystallized by the ancient mage's research......" The prophet who said about his past was a little emotional, but he did not delve into this issue, but picked up the golden bracelet in the shape of a scorpion, "What is this?" It must not be ordinary to take it out with two scriptures, right? ”
Xiao Lan nodded exactly, and then made a specific explanation.
"That's right, it's the Scorpion King's Bracelet of Death. I got it from the Oasis of Death Amsey, it is a witness to the contract between Anubis and the Scorpion King, and the effect is to summon the Legion of the Reaper - the original effect should have been to open the gates of hell and summon the real Reaper Legion with the divine power of Anubis, but now there is no interference from Anubis, and the effect is that the injection of magic can create a puppet with the Reaper Legion as a template and a fairly weak combat power, but the spell sequence in it is worth using, as long as it can be reversed, it can be changed from "summoning" to " Counter-summoning", turning it into a prop that can absorb free souls and store them inside the bracelet-"
"Soul storage? Is it used to stop the resurrection of the necromancy? The group had roughly understood the meaning, and the demon man's description was as they thought, "That's right, civilians will die if they die, but if the high-level necromancers don't completely destroy their souls, the Necromantic King only needs a thought to get them back on their feet, so this prop that can give them "rest" is very crucial...... Merlin, can you handle this project? ”
Xiao Lan questioned for the second time, and the archmage also glared for the second time, "Nonsense, who do you think I am?" It's a hassle to study through the integration spell sequence, but if it's just a reversal, I'll be able to do it in one night! ”
Of course, that is excellent, but the effectiveness of the anti-summoning is not necessarily that high, and the flaws of the treasure tentatively named "Bracelet of Rest" are quite obvious.
"Even if this bracelet is successfully transformed, it should only be able to disintegrate the lowest-level undead who just crawled out of the ground, and then the necromancers without body protection after being dispersed can also be pulled, but it will definitely not include Heroic Spirit-level souls, they need special treatment - use these soul stones."
In his hands, a number of blood-red stones about the length of a finger with delicate inscriptions carved into them appeared...... (To be continued......)
