After the selection of personnel was completed, everyone followed the Kaia River into the depths of the mountains.

Although this crusade team is only a small team of 100 people, its combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the Central Legion's Warcraft Cavalry Brigade. These hundred people are all professionals, and they have a lot of combat experience, and the number of magicians and priests adds up to twenty, and the essence of the Dawn Church in the four northern provinces is poured out.

Because Richard had the treasure of the Starlight Bottle, everyone didn't need to worry about the food. There was no logistical drag, and the squad moved very quickly.

On the fifth day after coming out of the Flame Castle, the group had arrived at the source of the Kaia River.

This is a deserted primeval jungle, full of large trees tens of meters high. Even though it was morning, the tall canopy of trees blocked the sunlight, and the ground was still a little dark, and I couldn't see far enough to even make out the direction.

Sura and Bellman climbed up the tree, carefully observing the nearby grass and trees, relying on the sun to discern the direction, and then slid down from the tree, and carved a few knives into the trunk to make a mark.

Sura and Bellman are the backbone of Haaland's Demon Hunter team, and have been operating in the depths of the Eagle Mountains for seven or eight years. Active in dense forests, they are very experienced.

"How's it going?"

Seeing the two of them sliding down from a tree dozens of meters high, Richard asked.

Sula narrowed her eyes and said, "There are no traces of human activity found for the time being. ”

Sula was one of the first indentured slaves to enter the Harland Territory, and he has been serving the Harland Territory for thirteen years.

Although Sula's talent is not as good as Jennings, he has also been promoted to the third order. In addition to being a key member of the Demon Hunting Team, he also served as the deputy captain of the Seventh Brigade.

Seeing that Richard turned his head, Bellman spoke: "My opinion is that if you go ten kilometers further northwest, you may find something." ”

Bellman is a member of the Stopper family and is in his forties. He was Sophia's distant cousin, had just been promoted to the rank of Fourth-Order Warrior and had assumed the position of Captain of the Ninth Brigade.

Hearing Bellman's words, Bernie shook his head and said: "The further we go northwest, the closer we get to the legendary ogre's lair, along the way we have found an ogre tribe, if we leak the traces, I am afraid that we will be rounded up by the ogre." ”

According to the information released by the Grant Kingdom, the ogres in the western part of the Eagle Mountains are the overlords at the top of the food chain, and there are more than thirty tribes of these terrifying creatures, and the number of them adds up to about two to three thousand.

Two or three thousand ogres gathered, and even the main army of the center was no match. Moreover, behind these ogres, there are powerful legendary ogres.

The two territories of Edward and Martins cannot be developed, there are no good roads, logistics materials are difficult to transport, and the army cannot go deep into the jungle, even if the Grant Kingdom is strong and in the west of the Eagle Mountains, it is not an opponent of the ogre tribe.

Richard pursed his lips slightly, turned his head and asked, "Bishop Dunlekin, what do you think?" ”

"Now that you're deep into the jungle, don't be afraid of the risks, I think we should continue to search northwest. Now that the necromancer has researched a new magic virus, he will definitely not stop. If we can't solve this hidden danger, we have to guard against the release of a new virus by necromancers every year, and we don't know how many people will be lost in the northern Xinjiang region.

This time, since he has entered the territory of the legendary ogre, he has taken a great risk, and the church will never stop until he completely kills the necromancy. ”

After listening to everyone's opinions, Richard said decisively: "I also agree with Bellman's idea, everyone cheer up and continue to move in the northwest direction." ”

After walking in the dreary forest for too long, everyone's emotions became depressed, and they longed for a battle immediately.

All of them were professionals, and their physical strength was far beyond ordinary people, and they had just entered the afternoon and had already moved about ten kilometers to the northwest.

Without a shortage of supplies, this elite army organized by professionals, with fifty iron wildebeest beasts, marched on the plains, and could travel about three or four hundred miles a day, far exceeding the speed of ordinary soldiers.

But in the barren primeval jungle, because there are no roads, every step has to pay a lot of hard work, and the distance that the team moves in a day is only about twenty or thirty kilometers at most.

Just as Richard and the others were resting, Bellman and Sulla climbed the tree again, and the two carefully observed the terrain, and found that after walking two or three kilometers, the terrain gradually sloped downward, and then a swamp shrouded in gray mist appeared in their field of vision.

On the edge of the swamp, there is also an imperceptible road.

The two suppressed the joy in their hearts, quickly slid down from the tree, and told Richard and Dun Lekin the good news.

With a smile on his face, Dun Lekin immediately released a negative energy detection spell.

I saw a golden magical aura, faintly pointing at the gray mist swamp.

"There is so much negative energy gathered, it looks like the necromancer is hiding here."

After receiving the exact information, everyone was shocked, and immediately increased their speed, and came to the gray mist swamp in less than an hour.

Sensing that the enemy was approaching, the necromancer Savio, who was hiding in the Gray Mist Swamp, immediately used teleportation to escape.

The necromancer Savio is an old rival between Richard and Dun Le King, and in the battle of the swamp basin, the high magician of the Tower of Death, Yura, was killed by Richard and others, but Savio seized the opportunity to escape successfully.

Unexpectedly, Savio did not leave the northern frontier, but hid in the territory of the legendary ogre, and successfully created a magical plague, killing more than tens of thousands of people.

Savio is cunning and intelligent, with a deep understanding of the situation, and after the dense base was exposed, he had no idea of fighting Richard and the others, and immediately used the portal to escape.

Although Savio reacted quickly, Dun Lekin had already defended in advance. Before the portal could be activated, Dunlegin released the eight-ring magic dimensional lock, fixing the nearby space.

Seeing that teleportation was hopeless, Savio screamed and immediately used the undead magic to awaken the undead, and in an instant, countless undead creatures staggered out of the thick fog.

These undead creatures carried countless viruses in their bodies, and despite the distance, Richard still smelled a strong stench of corpses.

Although these undead creatures are low-level living corpses, they are not easy to deal with, cutting off an arm or a leg will not kill the opponent, but it is easy to be infected with all kinds of messy viruses.

Although the movement of the living corpses was slow, they were densely packed into formations, but they were very difficult to deal with. Hand-to-hand combat, in particular, is very restrained by human armies. Unless you can meet an army that looks like death and is determined to die with the enemy, you can defeat this troublesome opponent.

Richard and Dunlegin led an elite team, and the death of a person is a serious loss, of course, it is impossible to fight hard. Although their team is small in number, there are many magicians inside.

The power of the mage is very diverse, and it is suitable for battles in various environments.

Seeing the living corpses slowly surrounding, the magicians immediately unleashed the fireball technique, the spider web technique.

The fireball exploded inside the group of living corpses, instantly sweeping down a large number of living corpses, impacted by the fire attribute energy, and the soul fire hidden in the skull of the living corpses was instantly extinguished.

A simple three-ring magic fireball technique can kill a large number of living corpses, and the efficiency is far beyond that of a warrior.

Although the first- and second-order magicians can't use the fireball technique, they can also use the spider web technique to control the opponent, and once the living corpse is wrapped in the spider web technique, it is very difficult to move, and the archer behind the magician will immediately strike and aim at the head of the living corpse.

Although the number of living corpses is large, it is far from being the opponent of the hundred-man squad, relying on the correct tactics, the hundred-man squad did not suffer a single casualty, and solved the necromancer's most powerful hole card, killing thousands of plague living corpses carrying the plague virus.

Seeing that all the living corpses were about to be killed, the necromancer had no choice but to use mind control spells once more.

The last time he fought the necromancer, Savio used this spell. Now that they are using it for the second time, Richard and Dun Lekin have already prepared countermeasures in advance, and the two of them have released a group requiem at the same time, making the necromancer's attack ineffective.

Richard, Dunlegin, Sophia, Delian, and the others stared at the necromancer, and the rest of the men cleared the undead.

About an hour or so had passed, and the rest of the team had cleaned up all the undead.

After all the undead were killed, the gray mist gradually lifted, and a half-finished mage tower appeared in the center of the swamp.

The Mage Tower is only two floors above ground, and I don't know how many floors there are underground?

The two-storey building on the ground looks a little old, as if it has some years. However, this kind of perennial building that has been eroded by negative energy, even if it is short-lived, still shows decay and decay. Therefore, the mage tower built by the necromancer needs to be repaired every three or two years.

There may be a trap hidden inside the Mage Tower, and Dun Le King, Derian, Sophia, and others have unleashed several high-level disarming spells. This spell is a six-ring spell that disables magic traps.

After the crowd unleashed the five high-level disarming spells, the magic trap attached to the mage tower had lost its effect.

Among Richard's group were two high-level law professionals, four six-ring magicians, and their spell abilities were far superior to those of the necromancer Savio.

After Yura and the others died in battle a few years ago, although the Tower of Death still has some foundation, its strength is far from enough.

This time against Richard and the others, it was not a fair fight at all.

Almost a cup of tea, the two layers of the mage tower on the ground have been controlled by Richard and others, the warehouse on the first basement floor, and the library on the second basement have been lost.

The third basement floor is the magic laboratory, the fourth floor is the energy room, the fifth floor is the virus cultivation center, the sixth floor is the meditation room, and the seventh basement floor is the portal.

After taking control of the Magic Library, Richard immediately ordered the soldiers to remove all the books and materials.

The Starlight Vase had a total of 450 cubic meters, and the weight required by Richard and the others only occupied one-thirtieth of the weight, and the remaining space was enough to take away all the valuable items of the Mage Tower.

Everyone delayed a little effort on the third basement floor and took control of the energy room in one go.

The group carefully examined the energy chamber and found that the core of the chamber had been removed.

The Tower of Death, a necromancer organization, had legendary necromancers hidden behind the scenes a few years ago, and their heritage was deep even in the Magic Kingdom of Makholm.

Last time in the swamp basin, Savio and the others smelted the energy room and the foundation of the magic tower together, causing the energy room to be unable to move, and even the legendary magic core was unable to take away after the defeat.

This time, Savio learned his lesson and only built a simple energy room, not a complete magic well, and in case of danger, he could dismantle the core of the energy room at any time. Despite the magic of this convergence, it is not very sufficient.

After the core of the energy room was taken away, the fourth floor of the Mage Tower was not very valuable.

After searching for it, everyone rushed to the fifth floor of the Mage Tower.

At the entrance of the fifth floor, more than two dozen necromancers gathered together and arranged a layer of magic enchantment, trying to block everyone.

The leader looked to be in his thirties, with messy hair, an unusually pale face, and no blood on his lips. If it weren't for the fact that his chest was still rising and falling slightly, it looked like a corpse that had just died.

This man was none other than Savio, the leader of the necromancers, and although he looked young, he was actually in his seventies. It's just that the necromancer is proficient in disguise-type spells, and he can't tell his age from his appearance at all.

"You'd better not come up, if you rush in, I'll release all the viruses, and then everyone will lose, and no one will survive. Let me tell you, there is a very powerful virus in this, and after the transformation of the legendary necromancer, once it is released, it is impossible for there to be a living creature for thousands of miles nearby. ”

Things had come to this point, and Savio's intimidation couldn't scare the pastor of the Dawn Church at all.

Before leaving, Dun Lekin and the others had prepared powerful treasures in advance. Nolan's headquarters gave a Holy Light Token, which sealed a legendary spell Holy Light Shine.

The Holy Light Token is a legendary magic prop that is very difficult to manufacture, not only requiring the legendary level material Holy Light Stone, but also the legendary priest to consume the origin and seal the legendary spell.

After the Dawn Church, only a legendary-level priest would make such a treasure for the church when he was old and infirm and his longevity was exhausted.

This token of light comes from Richard's old acquaintance Marvila, the legendary second-order priest who died of illness three years ago, and before he died, he made six tokens of the light.

This spell is very restrained from negative energy magic, even if it is a bacterial virus created by a legendary necromancer, all of them will be eliminated under the light of the Holy Light.

As soon as Savio's words fell, Richard, Dun Legin and others released the magic of breaking the enchantment, and their magic power far exceeded that of the necromancer, and in an instant, the necromancer's enchantment had been broken.

Seeing this scene, Savio immediately chose to die together and release all the viruses. And Dun Le Jin immediately urged the Holy Light Token, and a powerful wave of positive energy surged out.

In an instant, the mage tower collapsed, and more than twenty necromancers were immediately hit hard, and they died cleanly in an instant, even Savio was killed by the powerful holy light, and the negative energy of several kilometers nearby was immediately cleared.
