Chapter 356: Princess O'Farland
The Necro Knight's impact was very powerful, easily shattering the pile of bones in the way.
Seeing this scene, the grenadiers immediately took action and threw alchemy bombs on the way to the Necromantic Knight's charge, but the Necromantic Knight's defense was quite good, the white jade bones were very strong, and there were hundreds of alchemy bombs, leaving only more than ten opponents.
Seeing that the Necro Knight was about to rush over, the mage group in Haaland's territory immediately took action, and more than thirty magicians under the command of Sanders immediately released the spider web technique.
Dozens of mages unleashed their cobwebs, blocking all the way of the Necromantic Knight's charge in an instant.
Seeing that the spider web technique slowed down the speed of the Necromantic Knight's charge, Sanders immediately asked more than a dozen priests to attack at the same time, and they all released spells such as striking the undead and purifying the undead.
The priest is the nemesis of the undead creatures, and the lethality of the undead creatures is very powerful, and in an instant, the priests released two rounds of spells and successfully killed more than a dozen necromantic knights.
After the alchemy bomb and two rounds of strikes by the mage group, the number of necromantic knights has been reduced by about one-third.
But the Necro Knight, an undead creature, does not have too much intelligence and is not afraid of casualties. The remaining Necroknights still shredded the cobwebs at great speed, and slammed into the soldier's shield on the bone horse.
The strength of the Necro Knight was very great, and in an instant, the infantry phalanx that collided with it flipped on their backs, and their shields shattered.
The soldiers in the front row, despite their great strength, could not withstand it at all.
In the blink of an eye, the Necro Knight broke through the defense of an infantry squadron.
After breaking through the formation, the Necro Knights immediately inflicted serious killings on the soldiers, killing and wounding more than a hundred soldiers in the blink of an eye, while the Seventh Brigade, an infantry squadron, although very brave, did not take a step back, and only killed two Necro Knights.
The casualty ratio was nearly thirty to one, and according to this exchange ratio, the elimination of the remaining seventy Necromantic Knights would require at least two thousand casualties.
Such an exchange ratio, the army simply cannot afford it.
The soldiers of the seventh brigade are the elite troops led by Haaland, one of the first eight infantry brigades, and there are more than 20 professionals in a squadron, and there are few opponents in the main army. In the face of the assault of less than seventy necromantic knights, it was impossible to stop the opponent at all.
However, the blockade of the 6th Squadron of the 7th Brigade slowed down the Necroknight's assault and bought time for the rest of the troops.
As soon as the Necromantic Knight broke through the circular formation, the backbone of the mage group shot one after another, and more than a dozen fireballs fell on the top of the Necromantic Knight's head in an instant.
The fireball exploded, and the Necromantic Knight who suddenly exploded flipped on his back, and at the same time, the archers inside the circle also seized the opportunity to shoot immediately, shooting more than a dozen bursting arrows.
With the cooperation of the two elite soldiers, they once again succeeded in inflicting heavy losses on the Necromantic Knight, killing more than a dozen opponents.
As soon as the Necromantic Knight was about to make persistent efforts and attack the Mage Tower, Sutton and Sylph took more than a dozen high-level warriors and knights to launch a surprise attack, using the two ninth-order epic knights as arrows to fiercely break into the Necromantic Knight.
At the same time, the lion cavalry in the sky also struck one after another.
It has been seven years since Haaland successfully captured the lions, and in the past seven years, the number of domesticated lions in the territory has expanded from 10 to 30.
Every spring, the Harland Collar has to exchange breeding with the royal family, and now the Grant Kingdom's lion bird population has tripled to more than 60 heads, and the Harland Collar and the royal family have 30 each.
However, nearly half of the 30 lions were young lions that were no more than five years old, and in fact there were only two lion squads actually incorporated into the army, one of which was less than a team, and only 17 qualified lion cavalrymen could only undertake reconnaissance tasks.
Because of the small number, the selection of lion cavalry in Haaland's territory is a strict requirement, and usually only professionals above the third rank can join.
The lion bird itself is a fourth-order demonic beast, and some lion cranes with high bloodline maturity can be promoted to fifth-order demonic beasts, and the king of the lion crane can be promoted to the sixth order at most, which is already the king of the lion crane, which is extremely rare.
Seventeen lion cavalry flew in the air, and they commanded the lion crane to release the four-ring magic corrosive magic orb, and the seventeen four-ring magic spells entered the necromantic knight formation, which immediately caused serious chaos, and the lion cavalry seized the opportunity to shoot in the air, either throwing alchemy bombs or shooting explosive arrows.
Under the blows of various means, seven or eight opponents were killed, and the total number of necromantic knights has been reduced by about half until now.
At this time, Sutton, Sylph and other high-level melee fighters also contained some of the necromantic knights, and the remaining necromantic knights were less than thirty horsemen. The impact is already seriously insufficient.
Seeing that the death knight failed to charge, more than a dozen purple eyeballs rushed out of the gray mist, and many red tentacles stretched out of the purple eyeballs, wriggling around the purple eyeballs, and I don't know what type of undead creature it is.
However, looking at this shape, it is estimated that it is not a hand-to-hand combat type, and there must be some mysterious spells.
Along with the purple flesh ball, there were also some Yin Spirits floating in the air, these Yin Spirits exuded a cold and piercing aura, which was very eye-catching in the gray mist.
These two batches of undead creatures are estimated to be equivalent to high-level professionals.
Once they are allowed to rush into the circle, the casualties of the soldiers will inevitably increase and even be unbearable.
Seeing all kinds of powerful undead creatures constantly appearing, although the mastermind behind it has not yet been discovered, Richard has decided not to keep his hands anymore. He grabbed the Starlight Necklace violently, and the magic in his body poured into him wildly.
Richard awakened a powerful spellcasting talent, and doubled the destructive power of his spells. However, the Starlight Bomb is legendary magic, and when this spell is released, the power of the spell can only increase by about 30%.
The power of the Starlight Bomb is unusually terrifying, and increasing the power by 30% is almost equivalent to a devastating legendary spell.
Richard unleashed the starlight bomb, and a thick pillar of light slammed into the gray mist, and another large explosion came from the gray mist, and in an instant, whether it was a purple eyeball or a high-level yin spirit, it was instantly wiped out.
Along with the ashes, there were about 5,000 undead creatures in the gray mist.
Because the Starlight Bomb was so destructive, it actually blew up a large hole in the ice surface of the salt lake, covering an area of about half a square kilometer.
A large number of undead fell into the ice lake like dumplings, and they couldn't climb up in a short time, and the next day they were frozen by thick ice, and the damage was close to about 2,000.
Seeing this scene, perhaps afraid of the power of the starlight bomb, the undead creatures hidden in the dark let out a sharp roar, and the gray mist was slowly retreating into the western part of the salt lake.
This battle has been fought until now, and it is about one o'clock in the evening.
At this moment, Sophia's magic power is exhausted, and she needs to recuperate for a long time, and Richard's magic power is also about three-fifths consumed, which is no longer enough to release the starlight bomb, and her combat power is seriously insufficient.
In Haaland's territory, only Richard, Sophia, and Wendy have mastered the spell of using the Starlight Bomb, and now Sophia's mental power is exhausted, and Richard's use of the second Starlight Bomb is insufficient, so Richard handed the Starlight Necklace to Wendy's hands.
Because the Starlight Bomb could also be used once, the army in Haaland's territory was far from holding out.
Although the casualties of the soldiers were not heavy, they were very cold and tired. Moreover, the enemy situation was unknown, and Richard and the others did not know whether the hidden enemy had a powerful backhand, and after comprehensive consideration, Richard ordered the soldiers to rescue the wounded, form a formation to rest, and wait for tomorrow to make plans.
Early the next morning, when the soldiers had already begun to clean up the battlefield, Richard saw Bellman and asked directly, "Have the casualties been counted?" ”
"It has been counted, in last night's battle, we lost more than 111 people killed and about 360 wounded, of which 200 were frostbitten, and more than 90 seriously wounded.
Nearly 500 people lost their combat effectiveness in a battle, and the casualty ratio was close to one-tenth, which can be regarded as a brutal battle. ”
Richard knew in his heart that more than one-tenth of the casualties in the field had already affected morale. Therefore, Haaland led the army with good treatment and a strong sense of military honor, and he can continue to fight.
If it is the other legions in the northern frontier, the casualties will be one-tenth, and they will already need to be reorganized. After recuperating for a period of time and replenishing the troops, you can continue to fight.
"How many of our seizures are there?"
"The seizure is very rich, from the pile of white bones, we selected one hundred and fifty or sixty carts of bones containing negative energy, these bones are basically from magical creatures, some from demonic beasts, some from orcs and other races, but the most are from humans, of which more than a dozen carts are dragon bones.
In addition, a lot of soul crystals have also been picked up, adding up to ninety-six, but most of them are not of high grade, and there are more than a dozen medium-level soul crystals, mainly from undead knights, and none of them are high-level. ”
Richard knew in his heart that last night's battle, although more than 20,000 undead creatures were eliminated, but nearly half of them were killed with starlight bombs.
All the undead creatures killed by the starlight bomb, the soul crystals were annihilated by this violent energy blow, and it was almost impossible for any supernatural materials to be left.
For example, more than two dozen high-level undead creatures were blown up by the starlight bomb, and nothing was left. On the contrary, he annihilated hundreds of undead knights, and the harvest was very good, and he picked up a lot of middle-level soul crystals alone.
The higher the undead creatures, the more likely they are to leave soul crystals after death.
Generally speaking, it is almost impossible for ordinary skeletons without grade to drop soul crystals, and the probability of dropping soul crystals for elementary undead creatures is about 1 in 30. Medium undead creatures have a 1/0 chance of dropping soul crystals, and high undead creatures have a drop probability of about 1/3.
Legendary-level undead creatures will basically drop Legendary-level Soul Crystals after death.
After the death of the Undead Lord, he will leave something similar to the godhead, once the refining is equivalent to the power of mastering special rules, and mastering the rules, there are basically few opponents in many planes.
After cleaning the battlefield and collecting the loot, by noon, Richard led his army to the entrance of the cave of the undead.
The entrance to the cave of the undead remains quiet, as if nothing had happened, and last night's battle was a dream. But the white bones scattered near the ruins tell everyone that a fierce battle broke out here last night.
At noon today, the Ruins Magic Array still played a great role, but the undead did not appear at the entrance of the cave.
Richard led the soldiers to the entrance of the cave, although the entrance of the cave of the undead relics was very wide, but Richard was also a little worried about this dark terrain.
Entering this kind of hole, not only did the soldiers not be able to set up a formation, but Richard's most powerful killer starlight bomb was useless.
The entrance to the cave is so narrow that once the Starlight Bomb is released, it will inevitably blow up the hole.
Undead creatures don't need air to survive, and humans don't have that ability. Once the entrance of the cave collapses, it will be difficult for even a ninth-order epic knight to survive.
Richard's mana consumption was too great yesterday, and despite the replenishment of magic crystals, it is still far from recoverable today.
Since the undead were reluctant to come out, Richard simply blocked the army of the undead at the entrance to the ruins. He ordered his soldiers to cut down trees and build a camp near the entrance to the ruins, and spread the word to the Dawn Church headquarters.
After waiting for more than ten days, reinforcements from the headquarters of the Dawn Church in the Grant Kingdom rushed to the entrance of the cave of the relics of the dead, led by Richard's old acquaintance Senna Walton, Senna's helpers and two high priests, Dun Lekin and Nilamp.
Archbishop Seine was very pleased to see Richard.
"Last time you discovered the plane passage, your luck is always so good. I heard that you also killed the legendary bone dragon and got a legendary-level soul crystal, do you want to exchange this crystal for some legendary-level treasures with the church? ”
Hearing this, Richard hurriedly waved his hand.
The Legendary Soul Crystal was already useful in his heart, and he decided to use it to prepare the Legendary Grade Styx Elixir.
The Legendary Styx Elixir is very important to the future of Sophia, Wendy, and others.
Richard had a close relationship with the Church of Dawn and told Archbishop Senna directly the reason.
Archbishop Senna nodded, pointed to the crystal coffin at the entrance of the cave in the ruins, and said: "After receiving your letter, I carefully checked the information recorded by the church and found that this area should be the mausoleum of Princess Offaland.
Offaland was a large wizarding organization in antiquity, which at its peak controlled half of the territory of the Middle Continent. This large wizarding organization has fallen in the battle against the undead, and the rules wizards of the organization have fallen to the undead lord. By the time of the Seven Gods, only one-fifth or sixth of the territory remained.
According to ancient records, the Offalan organization was no longer the main opponent of the Church of the Seven Gods in the Age of the Seven Gods, on the contrary, they had a more serious conflict with a wizarding organization called the Starlight Alliance.
After the seven gods defeated their opponents, the Orphalan organization saw no hope of victory, and left the Dawn plane with some wizarding organizations in starships. But I don't know why, the body of Princess O'Farlan was not taken away? ”
After listening to Archbishop Senna's introduction, Richard nodded and said with a solemn expression: "We have also mastered a part of the situation in the Offaran region, excavated a floating city left by the Ofaland organization, and obtained some information and technology.
It is rumored that Princess Offalan is the daughter of a rule wizard and is also a legendary fourth-order master.
A strong person of this level, even if his soul falls, the body left behind is also very precious, and he will inevitably take it away under normal circumstances. Moreover, it is rumored that it has always been the rule wizard family that controls the organization of Ofalan. Since the ancient wizard left Princess Offaland here and set up a magic array blockade, there must be some hidden secrets, and the situation inside is probably very complicated and dangerous. ”
Hearing Richard's words, Archbishop Senna nodded.
Exploring this kind of high-level ruin, even if he is already a legendary second-order magician, his methods are very good, and he has the protection of the goddess of the dawn, there is still a certain amount of risk.
Although he knew that there were risks, the magician's strong desire for knowledge and exploration made him full of interest in exploring the higher ruins.
From these high-level ruins, you can find the technology of the ancient wizard civilization era, and you can feel the path that the ancient wizard civilization walked.
This is enough for a magician who aspires to reach the top.
