Chapter 176: Black Hand

Sun Licheng came out of the construction site and happened to see Barak commanding a team of skeleton soldiers coming from outside the valley.

"Barak, how are you doing? I heard that your undead summoning technique is about to be promoted?"

Seeing that the skeleton soldiers in front of him were not only wearing tattered armor, but also carrying some metal weapons in their hands, and their steps were much lighter than those ordinary skeletons, Sun Licheng stopped Barak and asked him.

Necromancers are also a kind of mages, and they are still very concerned about their spells, hearing Sun Licheng mention his itch, Barak stopped, and said proudly: "I estimate that I will be able to advance in a few days, you see that these skeleton soldiers are obviously much stronger than before." Although they are not fully skeleton warriors yet, they are not like real skeleton warriors. ”

After speaking, he remembered something and asked Sun Licheng rhetorically: "How is your flame power? It is said that with such a large-scale use, there should be progress." ”

Hearing Barak's words, Sun Li was overjoyed, nodded and said, "Yes, my flame power has obviously improved a lot these days, and the temperature has advanced towards 1,200 degrees. ”

"Not bad, not bad. It seems that doing this kind of construction work can promote the progress of magic even more. ”

Barak said with a smile.

Sun Licheng patted Barak on the shoulder and said to him, "You can report this experience to the Aegis Undead Academy, I believe the academy will also be interested." From now on, creation promotes the cultivation of magic more than destruction, even necromancy. ”

Hearing Sun Licheng's words, Barak was thoughtful.

In the process of working together, the organization and discipline of the sandmen have been greatly improved, and the original casualness is almost impossible to see.

In this huge project, the power of the individual is insignificant, and the continuous extension of the qanats makes the sanders realize the power of the collective.

It is believed that when the project is completed, the qanats will not only bring more abundant water to the sand sea, but also make the murderous group look new.

The movement of the skeleton controlled by Barak became more and more sensitive, which directly led to the improvement of production efficiency, and the progress of the project was significantly accelerated.

With the increasing discipline of killing, the improvement of the number and quality of skeletons, and the assembly line management methods that Sun Licheng brought from the earth, five days later, the most difficult construction phase of the Boulder Mountains was completed.

In the evening of the same day, Sun Licheng organized a grand celebration party and announced to everyone that in three days, the water from the dark river would be officially introduced into the karez, and the first phase of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project would be successfully completed.

As Sun Licheng's words fell, the entire valley boiled, and the killers cheered, ate rare food, danced around the bonfire, and imagined the future.

And on a hillside outside the valley, a camel cavalry of more than 100 men quietly appeared like ghosts.

"Have you inquired about everything?"

The leader of the cavalry looked at the valley stained by the bonfire like stars, and asked coldly behind him.

"After checking it out, their project is almost finished. ”

A sandman replied in a whisper.

"How many of them are there now?

The cavalry leader asked again.

"I guess I figured it out, there were probably more than 2,300 of them, and nearly 100,000 skeleton soldiers. Recently, though, they've been more defensive, and I almost got caught the last time I got in. ”

The sandman cavalry replied, still apprehensive at the thought of the last time the workers looked at him with cold eyes.

"Chief, what to do? There are too many of them. ”

Another killer asked.

At this moment, another killer cavalryman urged the camel to come up and whispered, "Actually, it's good that they did this, they have resurrected the oasis, and we can live better." ”

Hearing the horseman's words, the leader immediately turned his head and scolded: "You are stupid to think like this. Why are we trapped in the sand sea when we kill people? It's not because of the gods' punishment. You know what they're talking about, and they're still relying on the power of the gods in the light of the gods of knowledge and diplomacy. ”

Seeing the leader's rage, all the murderous cavalry were so frightened that they shrank their necks.

Seeing that his men were silent, the cavalry leader sighed and continued: "A short period of comfort represents a long period of captivity, and it is impossible to completely change the fate of our sandmen. And His Majesty Okadamaya, the great god of darkness and slaying, is the one who can truly change our fate! Once they're done, not many of the Brotherhoods in the Sand Sea will go with us, and our great cause will be completely destroyed, you understand?"

When everyone heard the leader's words, their faces couldn't help but become firm, and they all waved their fists to show their determination.

Seeing that the morale was boosted again, the cavalry leader was very satisfied, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

"What's the use of shouting slogans, your enemy has an army of 100,000. ”

Suddenly, a voice came from the darkness next to them, startling the sandman cavalry into a commotion, and they all drew their weapons.

"Who is your Excellency? ”

The leader of the cavalry, holding a bright scimitar in his hand, motioned for everyone not to act rashly, and shouted in the direction from which the voice came.

With a sneer, a tall figure walked out of the darkness.

I saw that this person was wearing a wide black robe, covering himself completely, his feet were on the sand, and he didn't make a sound, and the whole person was like a ghost, only the green eyes showed that he was still a living existence.

Seeing that the other party was alone, and dressed so strangely, the cavalry leader's expression relaxed, and he asked in a low voice: "I don't know who Your Excellency is, what is the matter with us?"

"Before telling you who I am, can you tell me that you dare to die for your cause?"

The visitor asked the cavalry leader in a calm tone.

When the cavalry leader heard this, his face changed a few times, he gritted his teeth, and replied: "In order not to let the people of the sand sea be oppressed by the gods, not only me, but also the brothers behind me, even if they die, they will not hesitate to die." ”

"Hehe, that's good. If you have the courage and the awareness of death, then I, Solomon, will help you. ”

After the visitor had finished speaking, he lifted the hood from his robe, revealing Solomon's half-elf head.

"You're their man!

The murderous cavalryman who went to inquire about the news was immediately stunned, and he involuntarily shouted out.

Three days later, in the evening, Sun Licheng had just convened the final engineering meeting. Because there are some deviations in the materials, the progress is delayed, and the water has to be released, so I have to wait until tomorrow.

"Sun Licheng, please wait a minute. ”

Just as Sun Licheng rubbed his brows, looked tired, and walked towards his tent, a voice came from behind.

Sun Licheng turned his head to look, immediately smiled, and said, "Solomon, is there something wrong?"
