……

Oak forest edges.

Obest, who had been preparing for a long time, stood side by side with the elders of the centaur tribe.

They clasped their hands to their chests and looked reverent.

Behind them.

It's the druids from the Earth Society, and these young gruids are not skilled enough in magic to do it alone.

But it's more than enough to serve as an aid to large cluster spells.

Time.

The chanting of centaurs and druids resounded throughout the oak forest.

It attracted a lot of apprehensive animals to come and watch.

Half a minute later.

A blinding ray of sunlight pierced the dark clouds overhead the cemetery.

Followed by.

More sunlight is cast from above.

Some of the acid rain quickly evaporated and turned into water vapor rushing up!

"Ritual Spell: Clear Sky"!

Matthew knows.

The leader of this spell is actually the elder of the centaur tribe, and as a natural spellcaster, this elder has a good reputation in the field of meteorology.

Obest and the other druids were only responsible for cooperating with him to enhance the effects of the spells.

In the twinkling of an eye.

The sky, which had been still oppressive, suddenly became clear.

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

"No acid rain is ...... Well? ”

However, the fierce sunlight did not last long.

More than ten seconds later.

Matthew looked up again in surprise, he touched the raindrops on his face, and was surprised to find that dark clouds had gathered again in the originally clear sky.

The clouds of this dark cloud are so thick.

It's even more exaggerated than when the acid rain just came!

The dark clouds slowly pressed down.

Like a small mountain, it gives people a feeling of oppressive suffocation.

And acid rain fell first.

The raindrops of beans slapped on the hill of the cemetery and slapped on the ground, silently causing a lot of corrosion!

"That's not right!"

"There are no spell fluctuations, the position of that dark cloud is actually very high, so high that it does not match the normal climate phenomenon at all!"

Matthew discovers an anomaly.

He then blessed himself with a farsightedness, and then activated his balanced perception.

A few seconds later.

He has finally discovered the source of this acid rain!

……

"Hint: You've found the Lord of Decay (LV19/Lord) and his children!"

……

"The ...... of the Corrupt King"

Matthew's expression was slightly solemn, and his eyes became extremely deep.

It was in the middle of the dark clouds floating high in the sky.

There is a large flock of strange birds hidden!

The strange bird led by it was huge and had a dry surface, except for a large sac in its lower jaw.

Now.

The sac was constantly agitating, and with each agitation, a large amount of fluid was falling!

All the strange birds are following the Lord of Decay in the same way.

This creates the acid rain that Matthew is now facing!

Meanwhile.

Matthew also observed that the amount of liquid spewed out by these strange birds did not actually fall on his head that much.

Instead, the liquid will actively condense nearby water as it descends, creating acid rain on an even more alarming scale!

It's not a spell.

It's a spell-like ability!

Elder Centaur's ritual spells weren't ineffective against this acid rain.

It's just that their spell coverage is too small.

As long as the acid rain from the sky is directed down from another area and finally drifts in the direction of the cemetery, then the enemy's goal can also be achieved!

"There are still some abyss mages on the backs of those strange birds, and the direction of the acid rain should be the ...... guided by these mages."

Matthew's eyes narrowed.

A hint of murder flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly canceled.

Can't handle it.

These strange birds are hiding too high and too far!

They should also be blessed with invisibility spells, which will only appear when they are spraying acid rain.

Besides.

Matthew also found two large portals standing in the air at a great height.

Because of the distance and the noisy information on the battlefield, the magic fluctuations of the portal were ignored by themselves.

The only one in Rolling Rock City who can deal with these strange birds is Matthew himself.

But due to the existence of the high-altitude portal, the other party is obviously ready to retreat at any time.

Once Matthew goes up.

The other party can escape from it.

Maybe they've set up aerial traps on it.

In this case.

The battlefield on the ground is likely to suffer!

"The Demon Legion still has something......

Matthew's nerves tensed a little.

He found that because of the previous succession, his mentality became a little floating.

Most of the actions of the Lord of Decay and the Abyss Mage were carried out when Xiao Boiling was fighting with the Twin Cavalry Demons.

This is a ploy to hide from the world.

The enemy commander was clearly aware of the impact of this acid rain on the battlefield situation.

From this point of view.

In the first round, the opponent had a slight advantage!

The fact that the other party was able to make such a meticulous dispatch shows that it is by no means a general person.

"It should be the legendary Abyss Mage Ocedro."

Matthew was very impressed with the black-robed mage.

In this battle, the demon lord Ace only dispatched a small brain, and the supreme commander of the demon army is most likely the leader of the abyss mage group.

The other party chose to hide behind those hateful and attention-grabbing demons, which shows that he is an old yin who doesn't like to be in the limelight.

You must be more cautious about every abnormal signal on the battlefield!

Right now.

The flock of strange birds also seemed to realize that Matthew had spotted them.

One of the strange birds actually lowered its flight altitude, and he even flew through the clear clear sky created by the centaur elders, which caused discussion among the druids, but also drew their own hatred.

The strange bird hovered over the cemetery's head for a moment.

Then he began to spit heavily.

Matthew calmly threw a negative energy shield over, and then left him alone.

He knew very well that this strange bird had come to seduce him.

Once you chase yourself to the sky, then you may fall for Ocedero's tricks!

He had already lost half of the first round.

Next, you must not be led by the nose by the other party.

You have to pull the opposite side into your own rhythm in order to accumulate more chips for victory!

"The impact of acid rain on cemeteries must be weakened!"

Matthew is clear.

The best chance of defending Rolling Rock City lies in this suspended cemetery.

Once the cemetery was captured.

Without the cover of the undead army, the troops of Rolling Rock City may not be able to hold on.

This acid rain is obviously coming for the cemetery, and since the source cannot be solved for the time being, its influence must be reduced in many ways as soon as possible!

Matthew threw a spell marker into the sky and returned his attention to his graveyard.

I have to admit it.

This unexpected acid rain hit the cemetery hard.

The first to bear the brunt is, of course, Xiao Boil.

Under the fierce wash of acid rain and brains, the metal armor on his body has been corroded and riddled with holes.

Now Xiao Fei can only hide in a cloud of black fog and shiver, relying on the power of soul fire to repair his armor, and he can't see the majestic appearance just now.

Matthew sent him some soul crystals, hoping to speed up his recovery.

This scene also reminded him -

A single high armor is useless, and you have to pull up all of Xiao Boil's resistances.

The most imminent thing is strong acid resistance!

He didn't have enough of spell scrolls in this area, which was a lesson.

Except for small boils.

Other undead were also severely affected.

The zombies are better, they already have all kinds of rotten meat hanging on their bodies, and they are more rotten when they are washed by acid rain.

But the skeletons are in a very bad situation.

Even more serious are the cemetery hills and the tombstones that are stockpiled as strategic materials.

Under the blow of acid rain.

Both of these showed small festers.

It's been a long time.

It will definitely affect the stability of the cemeteries' ceremonial grounds!

"Raise the negative energy barrier!"

"Protect the mountain as much as possible, and let the undead retreat to the second or fourth layer!"

"You send someone to keep an eye on the negative energy power furnace, keep an eye on it at all times, and you can't relax! I suspect that the enemy will come and sabotage ......"

After quickly confessing to the white ghost Ali.

Matthew came to the negative energy fountain at the top of the cemetery.

The next second.

Suddenly there was a long whip in his hand—

That's the "scold of Ursul", who has been promoted to a cemetery weapon!

The acid rain is still falling.

The hazy barrier of negative energy slowly rose, blocking out some of the acid rain, but a lot of acid still seeped down and flowed into the mountains.

Matthew began to swing his long whip violently at the negative energy fountain.

Every swing.

A blue-gray circle of light ripples out of his body!

Negative Energy Mastery: Stirring!

With this action of Matthew, a large number of negative energy fountains splashed around.

Matthew wrapped the negative energy in a long whip and threw it into every other corner of the cemetery one by one!

Where acid rain is intensive.

Where will the negative energy of these stirring ions be allocated!

Under the cover of the ultra-high concentration of negative energy gushing out of the negative energy fountain, the harm caused by acid rain was immediately contained!

Matthew calmly swung the long whip in his hand, and even though his shoulders and wrists soon began to ache, he did not slow down the movement of the whip-

He knows it well.

Negative energy is to a certain extent to restrain the corrosive effect.

Theoretically, if the concentration of negative energy in the cemetery is high enough, this acid rain will not pose a threat to the cemetery and the undead inside.

Now Matthew is forcibly activating the negative energy fountain, which is overdrawing the potential of the cemetery as a way to weaken the effects of acid rain.

So far, it's working very well.

The strange bird in the sky was still shouting, and the acid rain was still falling mercilessly, but under the cover of the rising negative energy, whether it was the mountain, the tombstone, or the immortal itself, it seemed that he was not so afraid of the acid rain!

"Get the Boundary Stone and other materials ready."

"If this acid rain lasts for a long time, I will dig more negative energy fountains, and even build a road bridge to the negative energy plane directly here!"

Seeing that the situation was under control, Matthew once again told Ali, the housekeeper who checked the negative energy power furnace.

As long as the negative energy can resist the corrosiveness of acid rain.

Then Matthew can accept a long-term stalemate.

It's a big deal to dig a few more negative energy fountains!

Boundary Core Stone, Negative Energy Crystal Cluster, Necromantic Si Wen...... He doesn't lack any of these things!

"Sure enough, war is all about financial strength!"

A moment later.

Matthew handed over Ursul's rebuke to Ali and asked him and Renysme to alternate wielding the long whip, mainly to guard the top of the mountain, and the rest of the part was less threatened, and the priority could be placed in the back row.

He then set his sights on the trench belt to the north of the cemetery.

At this moment, there was no trace of an immortal on the choled, acid-drenched ground.

Matthew flew up, raised the angle, and found the skeletons lying in the trench.

There was a look of approval on his face.

Li Rick's emergency response was quite in place, and most of the skeleton knife axe men offset some of the effects of the acid rain by burying themselves shallowly.

But as the acid rain continued to fall, the acid in the trench began to accumulate, and it was obviously not possible to continue lying on the stomach.

Matthew hesitated slightly.

The skeleton axemen led by Li Rik were the main force defending the trench belt, and if they were to withdraw to the cemetery now, it would be tantamount to giving up that area.

The space that Xiao Boiling pulled out before has now been filled by the second-echelon demon legion.

If even the trench zone is abandoned, then the cemetery mountain will completely lose its buffer.

Even if Matthew can stage a way to deal with the demonic advance team, play a one-handed cemetery suppression.

But in front of an army of demons of this magnitude.

This kind of surprise attack routine can't affect the overall situation at all!

"Maybe we'll have to think about retreating and defending the walls of Rolling Stone......"

Matthew asked Lerick to move the army of skeletons towards the high point in the southwest, and at the same time seriously thought about the feasibility of this in his mind-

The cemetery was not designed for war, it lacked walls, it had no depth, and it did not have much advantage in the frontal battlefield except for being able to fly.

Matthew originally just wanted to build a mage tower of his own.

I just didn't expect to hit the Abyss Invasion so soon.

The walls built by the Southern Legion had more cover and depth, and were easier to defend.

"When necessary, I can indeed retreat to the city wall, as long as I am here, as long as the army of the undead is there, there is still hope for the success of the guard!"

"Time is on our side......"

Matthew is not a tangled man.

He quickly made a decision in his mind.

It's just that the demon army wants to give up this land by itself, and they have to pay more price.

For now.

This acid rain is an appetizer at best.

Matthew's gaze was fixed on the demonic army that was gathering in front of him.

He is now curious about what Ocedero will do next after discovering that the acid rain offensive has not been successful.

During this period.

The undead in the cemetery are also actively dealing with Eisner's brain.

These brains are mildly spiritual, and intensely corrosive.

After landing.

They will run around for a while, leaving a large cloud of slime on the ground, before losing their spirituality and turning into a disgusting cloud of acid.

Compared to acid rain.

Eisner's brain, in addition to causing Xiao Boiling a lot of trouble at the beginning, actually didn't cause much damage to the cemetery as a whole.

Even Matthew himself is amazed at this.

Soon.

He realized the hero of all this—

Ooze Boss!

Don't look at this guy's usual slow walking, and his bad habit of stealing and eating skeletons.

It actually came in handy at this critical moment!

When Eisner's brains arrived, the slow-moving ooze monsters began to sweep the ground in the cemetery at a rapid speed!

The ooze monster itself has the title of scavenger.

And the leader of this ooze monster who defected to Matthew is a super master among them.

But see his large, soft body like jelly running over all corners of the cemetery.

All the brains that were still wriggling disappeared in an instant!

The data bar is displayed.

The Ooze Boss has turned on the gluttonous mode and is enjoying this dinner of his own!

Throughout the cemetery.

Peggy is the only one who will try to grab something from the Ooze Boss -

Matthew saw her grab several clumps of brains and stuff them into a clay pot.

Considering the previous history of fried tongue.

It's not hard to guess what this guy is going to do-

Sometimes Matthew admires Peggy's mentality.

Even in this situation.

She also seemed carefree and happy with herself.

Peggy's emotions infected Matthew to a certain extent.

He relaxed.

Continue to deal with the hazards caused by acid rain.

With the agitation of negative energy filling the air of the cemetery, things seem to have taken a turn for the better -

The corrosion of the cemetery by acid rain and brain pulp has been controlled by various means, and there is good news from Li Ruike's side.

Yu Qi led someone to drive a magic boat to support.

With the help of the magic ship's massive body and unique rainwater diversion system, they forcibly created a relatively dry area on the ground.

And so it goes.

The Skeletal Blademen retreated only slightly to the southwest, and did not completely abandon their positions in the trench belt.

The other side.

Rhaegar also returned to Rolling Stone, removing two boxes of Tornado scrolls from the warehouse, and then sending them into Matthew's hands.

Tempest can blow acid rain away from the cemetery.

It can also play a role in curbing the harm of acid rain.

Generally.

With the efforts of the Rolling Stones camp.

The impact of this acid rain was minimized.

During this period.

The demon camp didn't do nothing, either.

The twin cavalry demons, who had come back from the dead first, braved the acid rain to call for battle again.

Later, the strange birds in the sky also approached the top of the cemetery to provoke.

The cerebellum of the demon lord Eisner ushered in round after round of launches.

It's a pity that his brain fell into the cemetery, like a mud cow into the sea-

At first, Matthew was worried about whether the Ooze Monster Leader would be able to eat it.

Only later did he realize that he was overly worried.

The Ooze Monster Leader's digestion ability is amazing, and these brains don't seem to be very full, at least three or four rounds of salvos have been fired, and the skin color of the ooze monster has not changed in any way!

This means that he is far from being fed!

In this situation.

Matthew, of course, chose to sit on the wall and watch more patiently.

Face the provocation of the Twin Cavalry Demons.

Xiao Boil, who is still recovering, originally wanted to go over and teach them another lesson!

But was stopped by Matthew.

He slowly sent Argus, the shield of the Strange Mountain, to deal with the call of the two demon brothers.

Matthew gave Argus only one task -

That's defense!

Defend.

And then survive.

How long can it be delayed.

Matthew already had a sense of enlightenment at this moment-

He realized that a momentary victory or defeat would not affect the course of the battle.

If you still use the previous thinking of sticking to tactical gains and losses to deal with this war.

Then Rolling Rock will definitely lose badly!

He has to look up and look at the big picture in order to respond better.

"In the final analysis, it's actually a game between me and the opposing coach Ocedro, whoever loses may usher in a catastrophe!"

"He's more forgiving than me, but time is on my side and I still have a little home advantage......

Although I don't know why Ocedero is obsessed with the mode of "clash of generals", he has to let the top demons come up and call for battle.

But Matthew is actually happy to see this situation happen.

Let's say now.

After receiving the order, Argus fought the twin cavalry demons in the clearing north of the trench belt.

Don't look at Argus as not a legend.

When facing the Twin Cavalry Demon, he can actually exert an effect close to Xiao Boil!

"Bang dang!"

The cavalry demon stabbed his spear across Argus's shield, leaving only a shallow mark on it.

And Argus himself was as steady as Tarzan.

Subsequently.

The raid of another cavalry demon was also easily defused by Argus-

The opponent's dragon spear was even caught in the armpit by Argus who found an opportunity, if it wasn't for the cavalry demon to let go in time, I'm afraid that the person who was captured by Argus would have turned over on his back!

It was all about the same as Matthew had predicted.

In the battle between the cavalry demon and Xiao Boil, he could see that these two guys do have strength, but there is a fatal flaw-

They can't poke the tank!

Although in order to break through the shield of Argus, they changed into corrosive weapons.

But Argus was also far better at dodging than Philorius.

Above the clearing.

Wielding a huge shield, the black warrior calmly responds with one enemy and two enemies.

Although there is no way he can kill the Twins Cavalry Demon at all.

But it was also difficult for the enemy to break through the pace of his defenses.

Time.

The drama of the showdown between the main generals has become much duller.

The acid rain is still dripping.

From time to time, there was the sound of weapons clashing in the clearing to the north.

Everyone else seemed to have become air.

There is no sense of presence.

"Is your cemetery full of tortoises?"

The Twin Cavalry Demon didn't speak.

The Demon Slayer Lord, who had rushed to the frontal battlefield before, couldn't help but jump out.

He also launched a cry at the cemetery:

"Let's have a fight, hard-boned one, and let me see if the strongest elite among the undead can resist my claws!"

His lingua franca was crude.

Matthew had to use his language to understand what the other party was howling.

After understanding the other party's shouting.

A look of solemnity flashed across Matthew's face.

The Demon Slayer Lord is no better than the Twin Cavalry Demon, although they are all legendary creatures, this guy is obviously much stronger than the two brothers!

The Slayer Demon is the famous Slayer of the Abyss.

Its lords are even more adept at this.

The question of who to send to deal with it is the question of who can better delay the time.

But.

The question didn't leave Matthew thinking for long.

Because it was just half a minute after the Demon Lord Slayer called the battle.

A fair-skinned and beautiful female warrior wearing a grass ring appeared above the cemetery.

Seeing this, Matthew hurriedly shouted:

"Wait, what are you doing?"

"You're going up and fighting him?"

Peggy adjusted the angle of the grass ring and replied seriously:

"yes, he just called me by name."

Matthew looked confused:

"Didn't you?"

Peggy clasped her hands to her chest:

"Don't you think I'm the strongest of the undead?"

Matthew was silent.

Seeing Peggy's resolute attitude, he had to remind:

"This guy is very strong, you have to be careful."

Peggy than that winning gesture:

"You'd better worry about that stupid big man, his shield is about to be gouged through!"

The voice fell.

Peggy, who was transformed into the Valkyrie of the Moon, brandished two enchanted silver swords and rushed towards the Demon Lord Slayer who looked like a giant baboon.

The two quickly exchanged a few rounds.

Matthew relieved himself a little -

Peggy wasn't as reckless as she seemed, and she was using her speed advantage to pull the Demon Slayer Lord.

Although the latter has a strong ability to attack head-on, the Moon Maiden Valkyrie can crush him in terms of speed.

As long as Peggy doesn't kill people and doesn't operate indiscriminately.

It's not a problem to maneuver and escape.

And on the other side.

Things aren't as good as they were at the beginning.

His shield had already been slightly corroded by acid rain and brain pulp, and although he had tried his best to avoid it, once there was a shortcoming between the master's moves, it was possible to be infinitely magnified.

The Gemini Cavalry Demon is clearly not stupid either.

Sensing Argus's weakness, they attacked him.

Just a few minutes down.

Argus's response was noticeably struggling.

His pace is still steady.

The biggest hidden danger is whether the shield itself can withstand the subsequent fierce impact of the twin cavalry demons!

"Let Simphoran pick up Argus, don't engage the enemy, just bring the people back......"

"I'll let the Dragonman Lord Cossacks pick them up, and if the Twin Cavalry Demons want to pursue, the Cossacks will stop them!"

Matthew gave the order.

Then he rubbed his temples vigorously.

Look around.

The demon army is densely packed with elite units.

And the number of elite immortals under Matthew's hands is actually quite large.

But it's still dwarfed by the demon army.

No way.

The two sides are not of the same magnitude per se.

Matthew didn't expect to outperform the demon army that had mobilized the entire plane in this regard.

He was just worried that if more and more elite demons came out to call out for battle next, should he continue to fight?

If so, which units would be better to send?

"And ...... Why did Osedro have to let them take turns to call the lineup? ”

"If I'm the commander of the demon army, just let everyone charge, and even if I can't cross the walls of Rolling Rock City with my numerical superiority, I should be able to force me to abandon the position where the cemetery is located, right?"

Matthew's brain was spinning rapidly.

He could feel that he was growing rapidly in this war.

It's a sublimation of thinking and consciousness.

It is also a unique understanding of war.

A moment later.

Agus managed to get out of the battle.

The undead Cossacks took his place and fought the Twin Cavalry demons.

The strength of the Cossacks was not weak.

But the Twin Cavalry Demon seems to restrain him in his fighting style.

A few rounds down.

The body of the former dragon lord has become several more holes.

Although the soul fire did not suffer too much loss.

But the operation was clearly not as smooth as it had been.

"Keep changing."

Matthew took a deep breath.

His perspective seemed to jump out of the chessboard of the battlefield, looking at everything around him from a higher dimension.

That moment.

He caught a wonderful signal.

That's a change of fate that can only be observed at the equilibrium node!

A realization suddenly rose in Matthew's heart.

It's not just that he's paying attention to this war.

The entire world of Aindor is watching this war.

Including the will of the plane itself!

The wonderful flow of fate began to stir slightly.

Matthew stood up suddenly.

His gaze looked northeast.

Over there.

He vaguely saw a ray of golden light!

It was a turn of luck.

That's where the scales of war are tipping!

Is that......

Jade Garden!

The next moment.

The annoying birds continued to lower their altitude, hovering over the cemetery, as defiant as they could.

And Matthew turned a blind eye to it.

Because on the data bar.

He had already refreshed the message he wanted to see the most!

……

"Hint: Your companion 'Ah Bing' has comprehended the realm of the primeval god of beauty and has overfulfilled his legendary ways.

Would you like to give him a lot of XP to help him advance to the legendary class "Blade of Grace"?"

……
