Chapter Eighty-Four: Secret Fight
Ryan and Freya stood side by side at a height of hundreds of meters looking down on the earth, this is the second time Ryan has come to this town that connects the north and south, but unfortunately he can no longer find the city in his memory, after countless battles, everything here has changed, the ground within a radius of dozens of kilometers has almost been turned over, and the rotting corpses can be seen everywhere, and the air is filled with a disgusting smell.
The defense of the imperial capital was in the north of the entire battlefield, which was supposed to be an endless hill, but now it was a huge barracks large enough to accommodate 300,000 soldiers, and it was the time for dinner in the evening, and Ryan and Freya could clearly see that the soldiers inside were busy, and on the position outside the barracks, there was still a legion of soldiers holding out, to prevent Senate's army from attacking at this time.
In the south of the entire battlefield, it is naturally Senate's barracks, Ryan and Freya are flying high in the sky, with their strength, they can naturally see that only the front part of Senate's army is human, and the million undead troops from Seabreeze City have filled the barracks behind Sennat. Probably for the sake of secrecy, the largest number of skeleton warriors in these undead troops were all stuffed into the deep pits in the military camp, and each huge pit could be piled with at least tens of thousands of bones, so unless they were flying high in the air, they would not have found that the Senate army soldiers had long been replaced by undead warriors.
In addition to these, Ryan and Freya also found that a dense black fog had appeared in the sky behind the Senate barracks, and they were shrouded in the sky where the undead legion was located, cutting off internal and external communication. Ryan recognized at a glance that this was the "dark canopy" that the undead legion also had, this kind of black mist produced by using dark magic to concentrate the grievances of a large number of dead souls can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the undead warriors within the range it envelopes, and at the same time can also affect the will of the living creatures who enter this area to weaken their combat effectiveness, and usually the place where this "dark canopy" appears is often the base or fortress of the undead legion.
Ryan and Freya glanced at each other, and they both thought of the possibility that the undead army intended to establish a stronghold here. Thinking about it carefully, the possibility of this idea is very large, here after the repeated battles between the Senate army and the imperial capital army, at least a million people died, whether it is the soul or the corpse, it is extremely sufficient, and at this moment, the main force of the imperial capital is still in the northern prairie and has not been able to be transferred to the south, and the forces of the free paradise and Mochizuki City in the south have not been fully concentrated, so this undead army has more time to establish its own stronghold.
"There are only 10 lichs, and their individual mana is equivalent to the level of a magister. Do you want to do it, Freya?" Ryan said in an inaudible voice to the Elven Queen standing beside him, a look of eagerness already appeared on his face, and once Freya agreed, Ryan planned to go a little further so that he could unleash the forbidden spell to destroy everything on the ground.
Freya shook her head extremely slowly, the scene in front of her was so suspicious, just ten lichs dared to blatantly establish a stronghold in the human hinterland? If there was no other conspiracy behind the undead legion, Freya would never believe it, but no matter how carefully she and Ryan investigated, they could never find any clues here.
"Let's be careful. Furia also said in a very small voice: "I always felt that something was wrong here, but I could not find the problem. I think if these undead creatures are just playing tricks, then even if they can build a stronghold, we can raze them to the ground. But if they lay any trap, we will fall for it. ”
"Well, you're right, let's go back first, and talk to Victor and them again. Ryan accepted Freya's advice, and the two of them left quietly. Just as the figures of the two of them disappeared into the evening sunset, a cold wind blew over the undead barracks on the ground, and several black shadows strangely appeared from the void.
"Fortunately, if the two of them advance some distance, they will inevitably enter the enveloping range of the 'Undead Scourge' first, and then they will have to take the risk of being exposed. Teacher, if it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't have noticed that they were close at hand. The artifact on the female elf's body was so powerful that it could hide all the aura and mana fluctuations. A humanoid figure shrouded in a black mist spoke.
"It's nothing, Nicholas. The elves have been guarding this continent for more than 100,000 years, so they naturally have some reliance. The dark shadow standing in the center opened his mouth to say a few words, and then said to another black cloaked black shadow beside him: "Sandru, this young man is the Ryan you are talking about, right?"
"Yes, it can be said that the failure of my plans to go well is entirely due to this human. The dark shadow known as Sandru spoke: "His strength is getting stronger and stronger, and it can even be described as a rapid progress." A few years ago, I could have easily destroyed him, but not long ago, if it weren't for your spatial transformation magic, I would have been destroyed by him, and although I could use the soul box to resurrect again, I would have missed this plan. ”
"Sure enough, it's a little strange, he doesn't have any miracles on his body, and he doesn't have any powerful bloodline, just an ordinary human being. Well, you said you once wooed him, but he was rejected?"
"Yes, teacher. ”
"Sandru, I handed him over to you, at all costs, to attract him to our camp. I can take him as a student and perform all the rituals for him with my own hands, so that he can become a being like you. ”
"Ah, you think so highly of him?" Nicholas was startled, for this was the first time he had seen such a situation after many years of following his teacher.
"We are the best race of the undead, and in order to ensure this, we must accept the best members of other races, just as the sea accepts the flowing water from rivers and streams, so that we will not rest on our laurels. As for the boy, Nicholas, if you could find a character who had been studying magic for less than 10 years and had been promoted to a legendary mage, I would do the same. ”
"Yes, Teacher!" Sandru saluted respectfully, and when she stood up straight, the cloak that shrouded her head fell, revealing a gorgeous and unparalleled face, which was Catherine, who had been reversed into a human and escaped in the third orc battle.
The Black Shadow teleported back to the ground with Nicholas and Catherine, and what appeared in front of them at this time was no longer a pit full of skeleton warriors, a mere ten lichs, but an esoteric ritual in progress, and the 50 large lichs in black lich robes who participated in this ritual.
"There are still 3 days to go, this secret ritual will be completed, and then my true undead legion will descend here through this spatial passage!" The majestic voice of the black shadow spread throughout the undead base, and with the light in its eyes, powerful dark power frantically poured out of the black shadow's body: "And I, the demigod Lich Cons, will rewrite the rules of this plane and become the true master here!"
――――――*――――――*―――――― "Die!" Gagore's eyes were red, and he tried his best to resist the attacks of the enemies around him, he and Brady were back to back, and around the two of them, there were at least more than 500 elite warriors of Seker City. There was a look of despair in the eyes of both of them, they never imagined that they had only escaped for a long time, and they would encounter the enemy of the bloody druid holy land in the mountains of Vallo.
When Karina led the team to bloodbath the druid camp, Brady turned into a thunderbird and escaped from the sky, and also took away the dying Gagor, but both of them were seriously injured, and because they didn't know Karina's origin, of course they didn't dare to appear outside, so they could only find a hidden cave in the mountains to recuperate.
Half a month ago, the injuries of the two people improved, and they decided to come to Cassano to find Allendo, after all, the only person they could rely on now was this former druid member. In order to hide their whereabouts, they did not dare to transform into a Thunderbird and fly through the air, but after a day of walking into the mountains of Vallo, they ran headlong into Senate's army.
With Gagor's identity as a druid, if there were only dozens or hundreds of soldiers in Sek City, they should still be able to avoid it, but unfortunately this time they encountered Senate's lightly armed sneak attack on Cassano's main army, and tens of thousands of soldiers naturally had nothing to hide.
Gagor punched an enemy who rushed up, gritted his teeth and said to Brady in the back: "Brother, if you have a chance, you can go first, and then avenge me later!"
Brady waved his hands, grabbed a long sword, and then casually inserted it back into the stomach of the original owner, and then said with a wry smile: "I don't think I have a chance, look at those shooters outside!"
"Bastard!" Gagor's bruises on his forehead were exposed, if it wasn't Brady who saved him desperately last time, he must have died, and now the two of them are deeply surrounded, and there are dozens of shooters outside, obviously to prevent Brady from turning into a thunderbird again and escaping. Gagor gritted his teeth and decided to trade his life for Brady's, if it weren't for that, I'm afraid that both of them would have to stay.
"I'll rush to those shooters in a moment, and you go west, and there are trees over there, and even if you shoot out, there are branches and leaves to block it, as long as you fly into the sky, it's safe. Gagor quickly finished these few words, and then he roared, and his whole body began to change, and in a breath, a huge wind wolf appeared in front of everyone.
Immediately after Gagor's transformation, he heard the commander of the enemy on the opposite side shouting loudly: "They are going to fight hard, everyone." The shooters are ready to shoot, and they must not be allowed to run!" After hearing these words, Gagor seemed to remember the situation in the druid camp that day, and he suddenly pushed Brady behind him out hard, and with all his strength, he rushed towards the enemy shooter who had already pulled the bowstring with all his strength.
