Section 130 Coalition and Decisive Battle (10)
Will it attack immediately or will it still "accumulate" strength as originally planned?
Elaine hesitated on the skeleton warhorse, and he looked around at the army of the undead.
The undead army, which was mainly responsible for the south of Fadell, was slightly inferior to the Northern Route Army gathered by the demigod lichs, and both armies came from the east, slicing across the large 6 of Fadell's plane like two scythes of death, harvesting along the way.
Elaine is not really undead, he just joined the undead camp as a dark mage, even his teacher is at most semi-undead, and he has not completely become an undead, otherwise it would be difficult for Elaine to get involved through the Mogul Merchant Order.
Stephen and Elaine are a member of the undead camp, but they are not completely undead, not only because the undead also need some dark mages attached to them and contact with the outside world to disguise their purpose of acting, as this time, and another reason is that Elaine's teacher thinks that after being completely undead, although they will have a longer period of existence, they will decline in terms of creation power.
Therefore, Stephen and Elaine have always been more focused on magic research in the camp, and the latter is one of the "spies" in contact with the island of the dead, rather than a commander-in-chief.
Of course, that doesn't mean they can't command. Transforming the dead, or even the living, into undead is not just exclusive to necromantic magic, but the study of dark magic allows magicians to have some control similar to undead magic, and it is not uncommon for some dark mages to transform and train a few dead to enslave themselves to serve themselves.
Dark mages are the second best people to study the undead themselves, and they can easily touch on the world and secrets of the dead in the study of dark magic. It's just that it's not completely undead and it's limited to a certain extent.
So the original commander of this army was not Elaine. It's Gareth, the terrifying knight of the Isle of the Dead. However, he was killed while chasing a group of peepers not long ago.
This also attracted the attention of the three undead kings, Gareth himself was one of the high-level undead who survived from the period of the undead empire, and over the years, he has stepped into the warrior rank equivalent to level 20, and entered the quasi-legendary level.
When the demigod lich and their current people used magic to snoop, because it was inconvenient to pursue them in person at an important juncture, they sent Gareth, a high-ranking undead second only to the three kings, and also brought a small number of Holy Grail Black Knights and Ghosts that they had only created, but they all fell.
The undead suspect that this peeping power comes from the stronghold established in the south by the Mogul merchants. This led the undead kings to pay more attention to Ambrosius and them.
After Gareth was killed, Elaine's choice to lead the raid on the stronghold of the Mogur Merchant Order and the south of Fadell fell on Elaine.
Although Elaine can get the awe of the undead, because he has not completely undead, the number and range of the undead he can control with the rank of dark mage are limited, and the degree and success rate of the dark mage transforming the dead into low-level undead cannot be compared with the necromancers, so his teacher Stephen added the ghost master Griffin and other necromancers to his leadership this time, Griffin is a ghost master who exists in the state of a ghost, and he is also one of the few high-level undead on the island of the dead.
"Why don't we attack, isn't our target the fortress in the distance?" came the cold, flat, emotionless lingua franca from a bone-bony skeletal necromancer. He was Griffin, the ghostmaster, and his entire body resembled a skeleton wrapped in a mage's robes. It was filled with black gas, and only the shape of the eye socket made of bone had two orange-yellow halos.
Elaine knew that he was expressing his dissatisfaction, because as long as the three undead kings did not personally command the army harvested in the south, the most worthy commander was the horror knight Gareth, who was more suitable than the corpse dragon Fergusus who remained on the island of the dead, although the latter may be more powerful, but the memory of the horror knight made him have excellent military talents.
Gareth is dead, and Griffin thinks he's the right fit, both in terms of ability and qualifications, but Elaine has taken the spot because of his teacher.
The other two kings had no objection, and Griffin did not dare to disobey Stephen, unless one day he too became king.
But the more Elaine had been leading the army, the more he felt that it was a mistake to give this position to this dark mage.
"I'm thinking about whether I should get more soldiers before attacking. Elaine replied that if he became a true undead, the undead would be able to communicate directly with each other in a similar way to a secondary spirit connection, but he was not a real undead yet, which was one of the reasons why Griffin was a bit of a target for him.
"Is there anything else to worry about with the current army?" said Griffin, "if you're so cowardly, let me help you, lest you're always being attacked." ”
"What do you want to do?" Elaine.
"Don't worry, you are the commander of the entire army, I just asked my direct subordinates to scout and test it. ”
The Ghost Master raised his hand of white bones, and a hundred gray-white translucent shadows flew out of the army of the undead, and quickly flew towards the fortress built by the Mogul merchant group.
Solomon and the others were so far away from the sea of bones that they could only see a hazy grayish-white color in the eyes of the people.
Among them, only Solomon could sense the mental power of a mage of the same level and Leonis, who was an archer, could detect the more detailed movements of the undead, and at this time, whether it was in Solomon's sense or in Leonis's vision, the army of the undead led by Elaine suddenly slowed down.
"It was as if something had left their army and began to act alone. Leonis frowned, but it was too far away for her to see the spirit's movements.
Solomon nodded slightly, and the spiritual power of others also sensed, but the feeling he got was only similar to that of Leonis, and he was still not completely sure.
In order to avoid being revealed by Elaine, Solomon and the others could only be very far away, and at this distance, even a quasi-legendary high-level mage could hardly sense the enemy's existence, and could not distinguish the difference between ordinary animals and peeps who deliberately suppressed their behavior.
But Solomon and Leonis were able to spy vaguely, and if it weren't for the Eye of Observation being detected and destroyed by Elaine, the undead's actions would have been easier to grasp.
"We can only keep waiting. Solomon said in a deep voice.
There was a loud roar of eagles from the sky, and a black dot fell from small to large, and the shadow of the thunder eagle fell from the sky and landed on Solomon's shoulder.
The eyes of the summoning mage and the thunder eagle quickly lit up with two essences, silently exchanging something.
After a moment, Solomon took a deep breath and said, "To the north, the army of the undead under the command of the demigod lich has started a war with the alliance of the Temple of Mana and the Five Kingdoms, and now we can start the operation after Elaine attacks the fortress of the Mogul Merchants." ”
"But there are still two undead kings who have not yet appeared. Giffreth said in a deep voice.
"At least one more king will either show up on the battlefield with Mana or here. Solomon affirmed, "If he doesn't show up, Orwyn will force him to show up." But where we are going will most likely be facing the last king. ”
All fell silent, and when the frontal battlefield dragged the undead's offensive, it was their most critical back-to-back battle with all high-level professionals, only success and no failure, raiding the undead's current base camp, destroying the undead's transformation into the Fadell plane, and establishing an immortal kingdom.
On the brown walls of the fortress, the guards of the Mogul merchant group looked nervously into the distance.
Everyone knows the news that the undead are about to attack here, and they all know that due to the conspiracy of the undead, the teleportation channel for everyone to escape back to Keos has been temporarily interrupted, and if they want to survive, they can only defend this fortress with all their might, and hold on until Solomon and them succeed.
A soldier rubbed his eyes, it was daytime, but the sun was hidden in the clouds, and the weather was a little overcast.
Just now he seemed to see a translucent silhouette like water rising in front of him, but he couldn't find it anymore, so much so that he thought it was an illusion caused by the tension since he learned of the undead conspiracy.
But soon he realized that this was not an illusion, because of a pain in his neck, a terrible wound like being cut by a sharp blade appeared there, and a large amount of blood sprayed took away the soldier's life, and in the process of falling softly and quickly disappearing vitality, he vaguely saw that when the blood spurted from his body touched a certain position around him, it did not fall directly to the ground, but outlined the shape of a mass with the upper part like a human and the lower half like a cloud.
Not only him, at least dozens of soldiers on the city wall were attacked like this at the same time, at least half of them died on the spot, and some of the other soldiers were elite mercenaries recruited by the Mogul Merchant Group before using the black rock to build a new portal, and the mercenaries recruited before that wanted to teleport through the old portal must have a strength close to the third order, plus the weapons prepared for them by the Mogul Merchant Troupe, they can come over, so the strength of the initial batch of mercenaries is quite considerable, and they have already left the category of ordinary soldiers and belong to low-level professionals。
Therefore, these attackers did not die immediately, and fought back, but the effect of the counterattack was very unsatisfactory, because it was the ghosts who attacked them.
Wraiths are higher in rank than skeleton soldiers and zombie warriors, and are at the same level as black knights, most of them are transformed from dead mages, and people who are not mages but whose mental power is different from ordinary people also have a high chance of being successfully transformed into ghosts.
Wraiths are the opposite of black knights, the latter has a higher attack power, and ghosts are more difficult to remove, they are in a semi-energetic state, just like water after gathering, the usual physical attacks can scatter them, but they will be gathered together again, only mages or energy attacks can kill them, but low-level ghosts also only have the means of physical attacks, but the destructive power is not as good as the black knights, high-level ghosts are a bit similar to warlocks, can make some spell-like attacks, only a high-level ghost master like Griffin can be both the benefit of the ghost state and the magic of a mage。 (To be continued!)
