Chapter 353: Fierce Battle at Night
Richard consulted with everyone for a while, and decided to rely on the original magic array of this ruin to consume some of the undead's power, and then wait for dark to fight the undead.
In order to ensure that nothing was wrong, Richard ordered the griffin cavalry to send orders to the rear, and the seventh, twelfth, and twenty-first infantry battalions were mobilized from the Lothar Basin, plus a cavalry reconnaissance brigade to rush to the ruins for reinforcements.
The undead ruins are located on the west side of the salt lake in the Lothar Basin, not far from Lotte and Sam Castles, and if the soldiers move faster, they can rush over in the middle of the night to reinforce.
Haaland has more than 13,000 troops stationed in the Lothar Basin, and more than 10,000 regular troops, but more than half are stationed in Hurricane Canyon, at the northern entrance to the basin. Richard's transfer had drained the regular army inside the Lothar Basin.
Now the only remaining of the two castles in the Lothar Basin are the security army and the city defense army, and these two armies are not yet able to march in the middle of the winter night, let alone fight the terrible undead creatures in the field.
The lion's flight was extremely fast, flying a distance of thirty kilometers in an hour, delivering the order to the garrison.
Seeing that it was already a little dark, the garrisons in the two castles hurriedly ate some dinner, gathered their equipment and began to reinforce the western side of the salt lake.
Because the battle site is close to the castle, there is no need to carry bedding and tents, and the weight can be reduced by more than half.
An army that can march in the dark and snowy night of winter in northern Xinjiang is bound to be very well organized and combat effectiveness is also very extraordinary.
The 7th and 12th Infantry Brigades are all veteran units led by Harland, and they have been in the army for many years, although the reconnaissance cavalry brigade has been expanded, it is the backbone of the territorial elf, and the soldiers of the guard squadron are also carefully selected. The combat effectiveness of these armies has been tested in actual combat for many years.
Only the 21st Infantry Brigade is a newly formed unit, and it has been less than two years since it was formed, and although many veterans have been transferred from within, they are a little timid when they hear that they have to fight against terrible undead creatures. However, the military order is like a mountain, even if you are very scared in your heart, you can only fight with the large army.
Just as the reinforcements were leaving, the sky gradually became darker, and the power of the magic array began to weaken a little.
As the power of the Relic Magic Array weakened, some undead began to break through the blockade of the Ancient Magic Array.
In the dark night, a large stream of gray-white mist suddenly appeared, and the concentration of negative energy began to increase significantly, and soon as there were more and more undead creatures, a special area of death breath began to appear.
Soon, a skeleton with white bones stumbled out of the gray mist.
These white skeletons are dressed in tattered clothes that are very different from those of the Kingdom of Grant, and they appear to be somewhat similar to the Orfaran army in ancient times.
Offaland is a famous wizarding country in the ancient wizarding era, this wizarding country has a great sage who has mastered the power of rules, and within the plane of dawn, this powerful wizard has mastered the power of rules, and his ability can be compared to that of gods.
The territory controlled by the Ofaland Kingdom is very extensive, equivalent to half the area of the Middle Continent, and the core territory is located on the eastern shore of the Central Continent.
The lich who wanted to take control of Richard back then came from Offaland. Because he had some of the memories of the legendary lich, Richard also knew a little about the customs and customs of the Offaland.
The appearance of the white bone skeleton is just the beginning, behind the white bone skeleton, the figure of dozens of death knights looms, in this undead army, there are some lich hidden in the team, Richard can even see some ghosts, making a sharp whistling sound, as if they are about to pounce at any time, tearing the living apart, sucking the soul dry.
In the sky above the undead army, hundreds of vampires flapped their wings, and there was a huge bone dragon in the center of the vampire, a large cloud of green flames ignited in the eyes of the bone dragon, and a powerful soul fluctuation swept around, and the dragon power emitted was terrifying.
According to the soul fluctuations released by the bone dragon, Richard knew that this bone dragon was already a legendary first order.
The vicinity of the undead army was filled with the smell of death and decay, as if a special realm had been formed, incompatible with the vitality of the Dawn Plane.
This army of undead seemed to be afraid of the crystal coffin at the entrance of the cave, and when they rushed out, they bypassed the crystal coffin at the entrance of the cave, especially the body of the bone dragon was very large, and it was a funny feeling when it rushed out of the light curtain.
On the body of the undead, streams of negative energy continued to emerge, forming a thick gray mist that wrapped the undead lord inside.
This special area wrapped in a large area of gray-white mist can not only block the view, but even some low-level magical spiritual power detection is also isolated by this special area.
"Everyone be careful, there can be danger in the fog. Personnel with lower professional ranks should be lined up, and warriors should protect the safety of magicians. ”
Richard reminded the crowd loudly, his eyes fixed on the gray mist.
As the gray mist gradually drifted towards everyone, a series of clattering sounds began to appear, these sounds were particularly chaotic, as if many creatures rubbed the ground with their bones, so that people obviously didn't see anything, but there was a feeling of goosebumps.
This relic of antiquity, Richard did not believe that there was no danger inside.
For well-known reasons, the level of magic in the Dawn plane in ancient times was far higher than now, and if it weren't for Richard's mastery of not weak power, and the starlight necklace as a killer feature, he might not dare to venture near the ruins.
"The legal professional prepares to release a fire attribute spell."
Bishop Sanders let out a loud shout and began to command the mage regiment to fight.
In this operation, Richard not only mobilized a large number of backbones in the Harland Mage Association, but also mobilized many magicians and priests to participate in the war.
The two sides joined forces, and a total of more than 50 legal professionals participated in the operation, not counting middle and high-level legal personnel such as Homela and Richard.
Bishop Sanders' faith is very religious, and he has also received the attention of the goddess of Dawn over the years, and the priest level has been raised to the sixth rank.
He is now an assistant to the Archbishop of Homera, and has been promoted to the rank of High Priest, several years ahead of his professional rank.
Before the battle, everyone had already discussed, with Levin commanding the first squadron of infantry, Sanders commanding the mage corps, and middle-level magicians such as Anne and Butler serving as the backbone. High-level mage forces such as Richard, Sophia, Wendini, and Homela are regarded as the main assault personnel.
Levine is Martin's eldest son, and his talent is much more than that of his father Martin, he is only twenty-five years old, and his warrior level is already at the fourth level, such a talent has surpassed Roland and others, and is only a little worse than Jennings.
If Richard didn't have an attribute panel, he saved a lot of time in the early days, and when it came to warrior talent, he was actually inferior to Levine, Jennings and others, even if his father William was still worse than these geniuses.
Dozens of fire-attribute spells slammed into the gray mist, including more than a dozen fireballs, more than twenty scorching rays, and the rest were all first-ring magicians, who could only release the burning hand, and the spell destructive power was worse.
Dozens of fire-attribute spells came over, and even the protective force field of a legendary mage was unwilling to be hard-connected.
After all, fighting with dozens of magicians, even legendary magicians can't withstand it for too long.
But there are countless ways for legendary magicians, and defeating a large number of low-level magicians, sneak attacks, ambushes, open portals, enter another dimensional space, and fight hard to consume the most stupid methods. The spells released by legendary magicians, once a low-level magician is hit, basically cannot be spared.
The flame attribute spell collided with the negative energy magic, and the reaction of the explosion was extremely intense, and in an instant, the thick gray mist was dissolved by the spell power.
After the mage group released the first round of spells, dozens of necromantic rays shot out from the gray mist, pointing directly at the mage group.
Seeing this scene, Richard was very sure that in addition to the legendary creature of the bone dragon in the gray mist, there must be a smart commander.
Although the necromancy ray is a second-ring magic, the energy degree is not very high, but dozens of death rays come together, even a high-level magician like Richard does not dare to use a protective force field and magic shield to hard-connect.
If there were only high-level mages such as Richard present, in the face of this round of attacks, they could only find ways to dodge. However, under Richard's command, there are more than 100 professional soldiers, almost all of whom are equipped with first-order enchanted props force field shields, and Richard and the others only need to guard behind the soldiers.
I saw dozens of enchanted shields blocking the front, although they couldn't completely block all the necromantic rays, and the remaining negative energy was also weakened by half.
The few soldiers who were hit by the negative energy felt a hint of chill and quickly retreated to the back.
After a round of spells, Bishop Sanders unleashed a wide range of magical Holy Light Enchantments, enveloping everyone in the Holy Light Enchantment. And Archbishop Holmela also took out a token and entered his divine power into the token.
In an instant, the token erupted with dazzling white light, and in an instant, it slowly dissolved.
The killing effect of the white light on the undead creatures was extremely amazing, and the gray mist was illuminated by the white light, dissolving most of it in an instant. Hundreds of undead creatures were illuminated by the white light, and in the blink of an eye, they all dissolved into the holy light.
This white light is the Holy Light of the Church of the Seven Gods' trump card spell, and this spell is already of the legendary rank.
Because of the attribute restraint, the lethality of this spell to undead creatures is almost doubled, and even if a legendary undead creature is hit by this spell, it is also difficult to escape.
The Holy Light Token is a very important means for the Orthodox Church to restrain evil gods and undead creatures, and the production of this token not only consumes a lot of faith power, but also consumes precious magical resources.
Only the headquarters of the Dawn Church can make twelve faces a year. The Kingdom of Grant is an important parish of the Goddess of Dawn, and only the priests at the top have some.
Even Hormela, who has served the Goddess of Dawn for eighty years, only has three Holy Light Tokens in her hand. Relying on these three-sided Holy Light Tokens, although Homera is only a ninth-order priest, she also has the strength to fight against the most powerful legendary lich.
Hormela's attack instantly dispersed more than half of the gray mist, and Richard and Wendy seized the opportunity to release the seven-ring magic flame meteor and the six-ring magic lightning respectively.
Richard had awakened a talent for powerful spellcasting, and although he needed to keep his magic power and prepare to release the Starlight Bomb, and did not use a powerful spell, the magic was still far more powerful than that of the same level.
I saw a cloud of fire appear in the sky, and hundreds of fireballs fell from the sky, although the power of these fireballs was not as powerful as the three-ring magic fireball technique, it was no less than the magic missile with fire damage attached.
The flame meteor hit the army of the undead, killing and wounding one after another in an instant, and the white bone skeleton was killed and wounded.
As soon as the flame meteor fell, Wendy unleashed a six-ring magic chain of lightning.
In November of this year, Wendy broke through the bottleneck and advanced to the Sixth Ring.
Wendy's magic talent is very good, it has been more than three years since she entered the fifth ring, and normally she needs to wait a year or two to advance to the sixth ring, but Wendy's luck is very good, she has used precious potion resources many times in the past three years, which has accelerated the speed of magic accumulation, and advanced to the sixth ring some time in advance.
However, if you use too many potions, your perception of magic elements will become sluggish, and you will have to use more precious potion resources in the future, and it will often be more difficult to advance to the Legend.
Because of this, some magicians with great prospects and promising legends tend to be cautious about using potions, and magicians of the ascetic school will not even use potions for the rest of their lives, and rely entirely on their own meditation advancement.
This kind of secret knowledge was not known to the Harland Mage Guild before.
After all, the Haaland family is not rich in heritage, and only after stepping on the pit can we sum up some experience. It wasn't until the historic elves entered the Harland realm and Wendini traded a great deal of magical knowledge with the Mage Guild that Richard learned about it.
Serial lightning is already known for its destructiveness, and Wendy also has the Thunderbolt Staff in her hand, this legendary magic item can not only save 30% of the magic power, release the thunderbolt spell, and increase the lethality by 50%. The spell released by Wendy is more destructive than the Seven Rings Magic.
Six or seven bolts of lightning hit a large corpse monster fiercely, this undead monster has a fifth-order level, because it is a large monster, its strength can be compared with the seventh-order silver knight, because it is not afraid of slashing and stabbing the sword, it is normally very difficult, and the melee combat is more powerful than the sixth-order knight.
If the eighth-order Soros was in close combat, he might not be able to beat this undead creature.
But being struck by multiple lightning bolts, the soul fire of this terrifying monster was instantly extinguished.
Seeing that Richard and Wendy's two rounds of spell strikes were effective, the bone dragon in the air was very angry, and suddenly sent out a large-scale five-ring magic infrasonic strike, and an imperceptible infrasonic wave appeared in an instant, and in the gray fog, ripples that were invisible to the naked eye began to appear.
Infrasonic magic is not a negative energy spell, and it easily passed through the holy light enchantment, and in an instant, everyone felt a faint headache, and people with strong physical fitness suddenly felt a sense of irritability in their hearts.
The Harland Territory Mage was proficient in ultrasonic spells, and Richard instantly found the weakness of this spell and unleashed the four-ring magic silent enchantment to keep the infrasonic waves out.
Seeing that the infrasonic blow did not work, the bone dragon in the sky shook its wings and violently spewed out a gray-white air current, hitting the ground.
The dragon flame spewed out by the bone dragon is accompanied by a powerful undead fire, which directly acts on the spiritual power level. If it is contaminated a little, the body may still be able to withstand the damage, but the soul will be burned dry by the fire of the undead.
Seeing Long Yan spraying over, Richard's face suddenly changed. Although he, Sophia, Wendy and other middle and high-level magicians had a way to avoid this undead dragon flame, the soldiers around him would definitely find it difficult to stop this trouble.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Homera stepped forward and released the Nine-Ring Divine Divine Light Judgment, and a holy light slammed into the undead flames.
Although the bone dragon is already a legendary first-order, the priest has a natural restraint effect on undead creatures, and Hormela, a ninth-order priest, has barely fought the legendary bone dragon.
The power of the Holy Light dissipated most of the undead dragon flames, and the remaining power of high-level mages was enough to stop it. Wendini immediately released the force field shield, relying on this high-level spell to keep the undead fire out.
