Chapter 547: On the eve of the war: A conversation between the knights
Preventing the resurrection of the "killed" undead as much as possible is what Xiao Lan does as much as she can, and almost the only thing she can do for sure.
The Black Sutra of the Undead and the Golden Sutra of the Sun will be a big help, but in fact, if they want to exert their true power, they still need to have the corresponding gods, that is, the priests of the Sun God Ra and the God of Death Anubis, otherwise every time they use the above spells, the amount of magic that needs to be invested is massive, although Xiao Lan, who has obtained the fruit of life, can afford this consumption, but the efficiency of releasing the same magic power with spells is lower than that of direct use, For example, summoning a meteorite shower from the sky is quite spectacular, but the destructive power is not weak, and a few punches and kicks in the state of the demon god.
Therefore, their value is more in "research" than "battle", and the role they can play in this battle is not only to give Merlin, the archmage, a little more means, but also to modify the Bracelet of Death through the comparison of rune sequences-
Reversing the sequence of "summoning" spells becomes "counter-summoning", which injects magic to create a puppet modeled after the Legion of Death, and changes it to suck the surrounding souls into it and store them, so that they cannot be resurrected again, which is the so-called "Nature's Resting Bracelet".
-- This is also the key to the key.
Although the attacks infused by the knights can generally damage the spirits, unlike ordinary technological weapons, they cannot do any effective damage to monsters like necromancy, but the only way to resurrect the fallen undead is to completely destroy the soul, and to completely destroy the soul requires a high degree of concentration...... No one on the battlefield dares to be so ignorant of the surrounding situation, and there is not so much time to take care of an enemy "carefully".
And except for the Church and Arthur's knights. Xiao Lan's own situation is not much worse.
Whether it's the Nightmare Legion he brought with him, or Pandora, who was given to Flora to "take care of" and fight with her, all he can do is kill the enemy faster and more. But if you fight against an army that will continue to resurrect after killing, no amount of preparation will only end up in a whale swallowing and cannibalizing.
The only exception is probably an artifact.
The Knights of the Round Table from the Three Swords of the Nymph of the Lake, the Templar Assassin's Dark Dagger, Xiao Lan's Dark Swords and Dragon's Claws, and the Phantom Bow that he later lent to Gnievel in public, the ordinary undead are completely wiped out under the attack of weapons of this level. But it's a pity that there are only a few in the entire alliance, and it's just a drop in the bucket for the terrifying number of necromancy.
In addition, in addition to being able to prevent the revival of the necromancy, people will not have to face enemies they have killed again and again. The Bracelet of Rest also avoids the worst-case scenario of being an enemy of a companion who was a "comrade-in-arms" a quarter of an hour ago. The living who die in the Necronomicon will quickly rise up as the dead, join the ranks of the necromancers, and ruthlessly attack their original partners, in which case even the toughest warriors will lose the courage to continue fighting, and the heroic death will not be led to Valhalla or the Sacred Heaven. Rather, they become filthy necromancers who mercilessly kill their fellows......
Who can simply chop the long sword in their hands against their comrades?
Necromancy can.
As long as there is even a momentary hesitation in the face of the deceased. A warrior who is resurrected as a necromancy can add a companion to himself. In this case, there are absolutely very few fighters who can support without collapsing, even the iron-blooded elites who have experienced countless lives and deaths cannot be absolutely ruthless, and the torment of self and the fierce anger will make them lose their cool and finally embark on the road of self-destruction!
Fortunately, such a tragedy does not need to be staged, and the Bracelet of Rest can give peace to the dead from Hades, as well as to give rest to their own warriors.
Compared to these, other things are not so serious, but they are just as important.
The Majin gave a batch of bound soul stones that had been made in advance. It wasn't for the knights to have a chance to be reborn after death, and the unguarded soul stones had no hope of being saved among the necromancy that littered the land. Their function is to seal the nine dangerous Heroic Spirits - if these Soul Stones are smashed into the bodies of those Heroic Spirits, or pressed into them while they are defeated but not yet disintegrated, their souls will be sucked into them and preserved so that they will not be resurrected, which is also necessary to compensate for the defects of the Bracelet of Rest.
If these terrifying creatures with miracles are given a chance to be resurrected and reborn, then they who only have one life will not be able to win anyway, right?
Roughly speaking, although the hope ahead is still slim, it is no longer hopeless.
And when that's all that settled, it's over.
As the "savior", Xiao Lan has already said everything he should say, and the next thing that needs to be discussed is which area to arrange the battle, how the respective troops are arranged and how to operate during the battle, these things will only help him as a layman, he simply left the round table directly and came to the corridor outside the door, quietly looking at the starry sky outside.
When I came, the sun was still shining, and now it was dark and covering the earth, and the sky was full of stars, as if someone had crushed a huge gem and scattered it on the night, and the crescent moon hung there quietly, as if trying to hook something that could not be hooked.
The aura of death that pervades the earth will not affect the starry sky, but they will soon witness a unique duel between life and death.
It is not reality but the haze of the soul has been pressed on this land, the people in the Camelot no longer have the curiosity they saw at the beginning, they are all sad and pretending to be quiet, the news of the resurrection of the king of the dead cannot be concealed at all, and the breath that belongs to him seems to have spread silently, and it is extremely heavy on the hearts of everyone on this land.
This is true for civilians, and it is the same for Xiao Lan.
The peaceful night sky can no longer come to peace, and there is no romance under the moon, but people inexplicably feel a burst of restlessness, like fire rising from the bottom of the heart, and all the feelings are scorched and frizzy...... Until a voice rang out behind him.
"Running to this place alone, your heart is in turmoil...... Need to talk? β
With a voice as light as a bagpipe, but definitely not frivolous, Xiao Lan didn't have to look back to know who the person was coming.
Lancelot......
As for his question, the demon man seemed a little lazy, and did not answer the point at all, "It's the first knight, how can you have the kung fu to come here, you don't have to continue to participate in that kind of meeting?" β
The First Knight didn't seem to care about the topic being staggered, he just replied lightly, "No, there is no need to stay or negotiate in this battle, just the arrangement and arrangement of the army with them is enough, and I am destined to guard her side in this battle." β
The word "she" was emphasized and deepened, and Xiao Lan, who clearly noticed this, couldn't help but sigh, "Do you hate me?" I lent her the bow so much that she, who could have stayed in Camelot, had to go with her to the battlefield. β
At this moment, the knight, who was as calm as the surface of the lake, trembled slightly.
The Majin caught the flash of anger, but only then, the First Horseman regained his perfect stance, "Hate, when you named her to give it to her." But I quickly figured it out, this battle is not a defense but an active attack, ordinary people and low-level warriors can't participate in it at all, in front of the army of the undead, they are not even qualified to be cannon fodder, and the number of undead eliminated will never be more than the undead who become after their death, so the people who can participate in the battle are a small number but definitely real elite warriors......"
"And if she stays in Camelot, she will indeed be able to get temporary safety, but our expedition may fail because of the lack of such a high-level combat power, and if it fails, it will really be nothing. And if she were to pick up the Phantasmal Bow and follow us, I would risk my life to protect herβand I think you'd say the same, for you didn't let Flora out of the fight. β
This time it was Xiao Lan's turn to tremble, looking at the first knight who seemed to know everything well and had the same face as himself, he smiled bitterly and did not speak.
Who's to say it isn't? No one wants their cherished people to be in danger, but when danger is inevitable and can only be met head-on, all they can do is give maximum support.
Lancelot intends to protect the person he loves before he dies, and Xiao Lan transfers the dragon's claw to Kira to use, and her combat power can definitely be improved a lot without weapons and only with fists and feet; Pandora, who can transform into "Lancelot", was left to Flora, similar to EVA's mental connection synchronous control does not require any special mechanical knowledge, it is completely controlled by mind and body instinct, and she doesn't know that she is unfamiliar with the machine gun, laser and other weapons that are equipped with mecha and technological weapons, and the body equipped with Ξ»-drive can be perfectly matched with the knight who uses faith as a weapon, so as not to be limited by the defect that the technological weapon is powerless against the undead attack.
Once in the battle with the Necromantic King's mind, any foreign objects would not be meaningful, and it was better to transfer them to others for the time being than to waste them in their hands, and all this he did not only gave her more combat power, but also put them in a crisis that could have been avoided.
The better the shot is a bird, the more dangerous it is.
Among the necromancers who are about to face, there is this one who holds the cursed spear that must be hit and can snipe the heart from more than ten kilometers away...... (To be continued......)
