Chapter 82: Response
Bai Lei sat on the throne made entirely of white bones, looking at the place of death in front of him with an expressionless face, he had fallen into deep thought.It has been half a month since he led the undead legion from Seawind City all the way north, and after Bai Lei's order to slaughter the city, all the creatures on the march route were killed, and the lich under Nicholas was transformed into undead creatures, so now the undead creatures that Bai Lei can command have exceeded more than ten times when he set off from the secret base of the Star Islands, reaching as many as one million, so many undead creatures have spread all over a radius of dozens of kilometers after being expanded, and the vast majority of them are ordinary skeleton warriorsI believe that if you look at it from a high altitude, you can definitely see a piece of the ocean of Bai Sensen.
This legion, which is composed entirely of undead, is nominally commanded by Bailey, but this man who is determined to avenge his father knows very well that he is just a small role pushed by the teacher Nicholas, not to mention anything else, just following him forward, ten lichs shrouded in black cloaks all day, any one of them has the strength to kill Bailey in an instant.
After spending a short time in the secret base of the undead in the Star Islands, Bailey also learned a lot about the lich, and he found that in fact, the lich and Ryan are very similar, both are extremely proficient in a certain aspect of magic, but Ryan has achieved some achievements in magic control and other aspects through countless exercises, and the lich has gained another kind of "life" after being transformed, so many powerful dark magic that will eat the caster will no longer have any side effects on the lich.
To put it simply, a low-level magic of "blood diversion" can convert the caster's life into mana, usually a normal human magician can only use it a dozen times in his life, and then he will exhaust his life and die, but the lich has no concern about this at all, they have lost their "life" and exist in another form, so this magic will not have any negative effect on the lich at all, in other words, a lich who has mastered this magic can obtain a shocking mana recovery effect.
From this point of view, even if it is just an ordinary magic apprentice, after being transformed into a lich, he can master several dark magic and undead magic, so as to do things that only a human magus can do, such as constantly creating skeleton warriors, and then relying on this blood diversion to restore mana, you can quickly gather a large number of legions, and the destructive power of this legion is definitely not below the level 6 and 7 magic of the magister.
Of course, it is not easy to transform into a lich, not to mention that the entire transformation ritual consumes a lot of precious magic materials and the mana of the caster, just the pain in the transformation is not something that ordinary people can bear, so the targets they chose are all outstanding potential and perseverance, but even so, the entire transformation ritual still has a success rate of less than 1%, and the vast majority of the transformed people died under the pain that penetrates deep into the soul in the transformation ritual.
This number directly scared away the desire in Bailey's heart, he could already extend his life by replacing his body, if nothing else, he could probably live for a hundred more years, with such a long time to specialize in magic, Bailey firmly believes that as long as he is diligent, he may not be able to catch up with Ryan, and there is no need to gamble on his luck.
Powerful mana fluctuations interrupted Bailey's musings, and he looked up at the ten lichs in the midst of their arcane rituals. The biggest advantage of the undead legion is that they don't need logistical supplies, they can advance and fight day and night, as long as they replenish their forces with the undead secret method from time to time. At this time, what the ten lichs were doing was to create new undead creatures, and under their joint casting, the corpses piled up like a hill in the center of them had been completely shrouded in powerful mana fluctuations, and from time to time there were geists crying and roaring during the period, and the bones on the ground also began to move strangely.
If someone saw this scene on the side, most of them would be scared to death immediately, but there were no living people in this radius of dozens of kilometers, and the only one who still needed to breathe was Bai Lei, but his body had also been transformed, and it was a special undead creature.
"Woo!" When a whistling sound deep enough to penetrate the soul was heard, the entire secret ritual was completed, and the ten lichs all stopped their movements, and from the mountain of bones, a skeleton with a large amount of flesh and blood slowly crawled up.
The skeleton was tall, and many parts of it was still wearing tattered army armor, and it was clear that it should have been a captain-level figure in one of Sennat's armies during his lifetime. The skeleton looked around blankly, wondering how it had "lived" even though it was dead, but it soon received an order from Bailey, walked out a few steps, and stood in the open space next to it.
More of these skeleton warriors crawled out of the mountain of corpses and formed a zigzag phalanx in the nearby clearing. Bai Lei rubbed his nose, and knew in his heart that the reason why the phalanx in front of him was not neat enough was definitely because his own control of mana was not accurate enough, and he even felt that if he was replaced by Ryan, he was afraid that even if he had a few more millions, he would be able to discharge a uniform formation. I don't know why, Bailey has always thought of Ryan recently, and always subconsciously makes some small humane movements, is it because he has been a little unaccustomed to staying with dead people for too long, so he always wants to highlight himself and be different from them?
"Bailey, the Legion has been replenished and can continue on its way. According to Master Nicholas, we are still more than 200 kilometers away from our destination, the town of Mori, which is about 2 days. "One of the lichs spoke to Bailey in the undead language, and his voice was not emotionally fluctuating, just a narrative of content.
"Okay. According to the information sent back by Susan and others an hour ago, there are only about 2 or 3 small towns left between here and Mori Town, and the population in there is almost running out, after all, the undead legion is definitely a more terrible existence than the plague.
The plague-like sea of white moved again, and the ten lichs who had just released the ritual all hid in the bone chariot that Bailey had specially built for them, and Bailey himself sat on the same chariot made of dead people's bones, and in front of Bere's cart was only an undead warrior with stitched marks on his face, he was the transformed Oz.
In addition to the original appearance of his face, Oz's body has been greatly transformed, and all the important parts of his body are wearing bone armor full of spikes, which Bailey refined for him with secret methods, and its hardness is definitely not inferior to ordinary army standard armor. On Oz's arm, two sharp bone spurs grow, which look like a crescent moon bone spur is Oz's current weapon, and other less important parts of Oz's body are exposed to varying degrees, of course, the bones in the body are exposed.
It took four hours for the huge army of undead to slowly leave, when the white sea was far away, a slender figure slowly appeared from the air, this elf scout with pointed ears was pale, after all, she had just hid less than 50 meters away from Bailey, the pressure brought by the millions of undead creatures was definitely not something ordinary people could bear, it was not easy for this female elf scout not to go crazy on the spot, not to mention that she had been hiding her body in the dark shadows to ensure that her whereabouts were not discovered by those terrible lichsγ
ββββββ *ββββββ*ββββββ sitting opposite this female elf scout is none other than Lane, the overlord of Cassano, and by Lane's side, is the elven queen Freya, the dwarven king Reynolds, the chairman of the Free Heaven Merchant Alliance Chiraviv, the grand mage of Mochizuki City Clifford and others, after everyone heard the news, everyone's face was not very good, after all, the catastrophe 200 years ago did not pass too long.
"What to do?" was the first to lose his breath was Kiraviv, the business wizard spoke with some concern, "Such a large army of the undead, and with each day of delay, their number increases. I've heard that against such a legion, you can only concentrate on a main decisive battle, otherwise as long as there is one lich alive in this legion, you can quickly recover, and the warriors who die in battle are their best raw materials. β
"I've done a little bit of research into necromancy, but I've only been able to research and figure out how to deal with it. Clifford, the Grand Magister of Mochizuki City, spoke: "According to the records of Mochizuki City's magic books, the biggest feature of necromancy is that it targets the corpses of souls and creatures after death, and the most basic magic such as creating zombies and summoning skeleton warriors is the same. And the most terrifying thing is that the more powerful the necromancy, the more souls and corpses are needed. Based on this factor, I am absolutely sure that the final destination of this army of undead, which is not very large, should be Maury. There should be more than a million dead there, and there are enough raw materials to support both the expansion of the army and the release of the terrifying secret method. β
"That's not all, Clifford Archmagister. Adams, Adela's father, clearly had something in mind, and he said worriedly, "It's not just the millions of souls, don't forget, Senat's army is also over 400,000, and that doesn't seem to count the large number of civilians he has been hosting. There are also the Imperial Capital troops and logistics troops that are holding on to Senat, etc., in a small area like Mori, this is at least a million living beings!"
