Chapter 20: The Fire of the Prairie

The sky-high flames on the altar were clearly visible even from a dozen kilometers away, and after sunset, half of the sky was reflected red. Thousands of dead corpses fueled a fire that could burn for an entire day and night, and beyond this hillside are fields of ripe wheat that could easily cause irreparable disaster if you were not careful.

However, El didn't even think about controlling the fire, and instead let the arsonist brother and sister De Lael and Jessica add fuel to the fire. You must know that the demon-building ability that represents the law of chaos may not be good, but it is a natural master of destruction. The brother and sister worked together to directly ignite the entire plain!

The army of the undead has broken through the defenses built by the humans, and the Order of Death is only one of the forces heading south. El's painstaking efforts to set such a trap in Bambrol have almost emptied all his hole cards, and although he has made a name for himself, he has also exposed the shortcomings of lack of manpower and lack of follow-up, and it is impossible to continue to hold his ground.

His purpose has never been to defend his family and country, but to show his fangs and make those who follow the exile's ass in hot pursuit. I believe that after this battle, the high-ranking people of the Cursed Sect should feel the pain in their flesh, if the talents of those politicians in their minds have not rotted, what they must do at this time is definitely not to consider revenge, but to find a scapegoat that can be kneaded at will as soon as possible.

As for which unlucky ghost will suffer from flying disasters because of this, El is not a saint, and he can't pay attention to it so much.

Although the Death Order was defeated, the Shadow Legion under its command still retains some of its strength. After the fall of the Black Knight Lord Staron, the rest of the Great Corpse Witch and the Black Knight immediately dispersed, which was completely beyond El's expectations. The main ghoul and gargoyle troops of the Shadow Legion can be said to be the fastest moving class in the undead sequence, and if they want to run, the human side will not be able to catch up without light cavalry.

Although these troops have fled, this also means that they will spread the news of the unfavorable situation here, and other undead troops in the vicinity will definitely rush to meet them, leaving not much time for the human forces to retreat.

Anyway, it is necessary to retreat, and now that the grain in the field cannot be harvested, it is better to set a fire and burn it, which can not only hinder the pursuit of the undead army, but also completely purify the land, burn all the corpses clean, so that they can't dig out anything In a sense, this can also be said to be a tactic of clearing the wilderness.

Leaving the arson to the demon siblings was definitely the best use, and these two guys, fearing that the fire would not be big enough, actually used magic to summon a violent wind and sweep the flames everywhere. A rough estimate is that the fire was enough to burn thousands of square kilometres of fertile plains north of Bambrol to ashes. If those skeletons don't have the awareness to put out the fire, it will be a lot of fun if they are caught in the fire.

Of course, no matter what the fire turns out to be, it has nothing to do with Er, and the temporary defense line he built can be used as both a levee and a firewall, and he has no worries anyway. As for the north, there can be no living people anyway, who will that idleness.

Compared to the skeletons behind him, El was now more worried about the people around him. After a series of fierce battles, his team was already full of wounded soldiers. The only quasi-sword saint Diana with the strength level of the golden rank has not woken up so far, and Lolana, who is the brain-level existence of the army, is unconscious, and now Palanti has fallen down inexplicably. If you don't find a way to solve it as soon as possible, God knows what will happen.

After receiving the gift of the Savage Walker Siva, almost all human soldiers' perception ability has been greatly improved, and compared to pure physical strength, whether or not they have perception is the most obvious dividing line between the black iron and bronze ranks. After this baptism, there were more than 100 soldiers in the army who had been promoted to the bronze rank, and the sudden increase in strength made these soldiers fall into a crazy excitement that they could not extricate themselves from.

After experiencing this kind of magic firsthand, many soldiers of the Southern Army began to have different ideas in their hearts. Compared to those stingy lords who can't even pay a single copper, this northern army with a mysterious origin is obviously more attractive. It was only at this time that these southern soldiers, who had been forcibly recruited, began to have trust and expectations for this unit, which was obviously a good start.

But not everyone has benefited, and Palanti is a clear example of an exception. She did not increase her strength after receiving the baptism, but vomited blood and fell unconscious, and the sacrifices accompanying the army could not see her problem at all, and she was helpless about it.

In the end, the experienced Ahmed came up with a more reliable inference after careful observation, and this little girl may have been promoted to the silver rank after being baptized. Her strength had already reached the peak of bronze, and with the assistance of the White Lion Inheritance, she could even exert the combat power of the silver rank.

But this false combat power is obviously difficult to satisfy the girl's appetite, as the vanguard leader who always rushes to the front line, her thirst for power is far beyond the imagination of others. According to Ahmed's judgment, she may have been eager to step into the silver secret realm after her own strength was promoted to silver.

Although the White Lion Family is not as rich as the North Wind Family, it is also a warlord faction with a history of three hundred years after all. As the last inheritor of the family, Palanti does not need to explore blindly like El, her ancestors have already mapped out a smooth path for her, unless she wants to show off her personality, the family inheritance alone is enough for her to smoothly rise to the silver rank.

Although this road has become a smooth road, its most basic requirements cannot be changed If you want to embark on this road, at least you must have enough strength to accumulate. And the anxious Palanti didn't think about this at all, so he recklessly broke in, and was bound to be counterattacked.

Outsiders can't help at all in this situation, and can only rely on her own will to slowly recover. However, El did not have this free time, and he must now deal with the problem of a battalion full of wounded soldiers, or he would face the embarrassing situation of having no one to use.

After leading their troops to catch up with the advancing group of exiles, El and Tiana whispered hello and sneakily stayed behind with a few of their cronies.

The same town where it used to stay, but now it's empty. The news of the undead army heading south has spread, and almost all humans who have received the news, both noble and commoner, have begun to flee south. It has to be said that the southerners are indeed superior to the northerners in this respect, and the speed at which they run away is simply breathtaking.

After nightfall, El found the magic nodes near the town, and began to set up altars again, and the main reason why such suitable magic nodes can always be found near the town is because when humans pioneered this land, it was the magic provided by these magic nodes that they were able to build settlements. It's just that after thousands of years of precipitation, these common senses have long been forgotten by ordinary people.

This time, the main people who participated in the sacrifice were all wounded and sick numbers that were difficult to solve, including the three beautiful girls in El's hands. As Diana's protector and brother, Schimako had reservations about this, but in this situation, he could not find a way to heal Diana's injuries, so he could only follow El's arrangement with luck.

To be honest, El didn't have any score in his heart, and the several sacrifices he had performed so far had received completely different responses, and there was no pattern to follow. Even Tiana was at a loss for it, and he couldn't expect to be responsive. There is an old saying that "nothing is made up". If something goes wrong and a warm-hearted ancestor leaves some big surprise, there is a chance that these injuries will kneel down directly.

Although she knew that there was such a risk, El did not tell anyone the truth, and Tiana, who also knew about it, remained silent. Now is not the time to think about risk, the problem is that they have no other way but to talk about the fate that lies their hopes in the dark.

However, he soon felt the deep malice of fate.

This time, as a sacrifice, it was the soul of the Black Knight leader Starron, and the soul fragment of the Lich Klein. These high-level undead were usually experts in soulology, but they were restrained by the power of the El Rune, which was one of the reasons why they were defeated so quickly.

Without the existence of the Lich Crate, El could have captured even the entire Lich Soul. However, it was a surprise to be able to leave this part of the soul fragment behind, and it was probably not so easy for the archbishop to be reborn now.

The souls of the two silver-rank powerhouses are absolutely worlds apart from the remains of ordinary undead in terms of quality alone, but there is still a certain gap compared to the wisp of remnant souls of the last puppeteer. Elle didn't expect to get another rune for himself, he just wanted to be able to heal his wounds, which seemed like a no-brainer.

However, the reality is always so cruel, after he sincerely prays and offers sacrifices, the virtual image summoned from the altar is still the same feathered serpent!

"What kind of relationship do you have with our human ancestors!" Seeing the Feathered Serpent reappear, El's heart was already half cold, although the Feathered Serpent God also has a god name, but this one does not have a good reputation. To make it save people is a world-class joke.

Although he knew that this time he was probably going to get rid of it, El still had to maintain a sincere expression of fear on his face. Beneath the huge image of the Feathered Serpent, which almost covered the entire sky, he did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

Starron and Klein's souls struggled in the flames for a moment before turning into a plume of black smoke and drifting into the air. The huge Quetzalcoatl flicked its wings and disappeared into thin air.

A wry smile appeared on El's face, others thought that this time the sacrifice was anticlimactic, but only he knew that he had obtained a new rune
