Section 222 The Second Ambergris War (3)

The black-robed man wore a hood, and he walked past the corpses.

Everywhere he walked, there was some dark and dark powder that emitted a shimmering light, and he walked in a rather strange way, not like an ordinary walk, but like dancing, dancing as he went.

But soon, something strange appeared in the place he had walked through, and it was a terrible one.

The corpses that were already dead and lying on the ground, mutilated or intact, jumped up like marionettes, and slammed together in groups of three or five at a certain point, as if a great suction force had been created at that point.

The corpses collided together, the flesh and blood blurred, but the parts of the impact were strangely blended together, with the most powerful body in life as the main trunk, and the flesh and blood of the other corpses melted as if being sucked.

With a few snaps, the flesh disappeared, and the bones fell to the ground, while the body that had received the flesh of several corpses seemed to swell up and deform violently.

Eventually, a ghoul twice the size of an ordinary person appeared, with a look of ignorance.

The black-robed man walked all the way, and such changes kept happening, and he walked faster and faster, and danced more and more urgently.

He walked past almost every corpse where it had stolen, and then one after another ghouls appeared.

Even when walking through certain places, the corpses that automatically jumped up and fused were all High Elves, and there was also the corpse of a High Elf mage inside, what came out of the fusion was not a ghoul, but an abomination.

Ghouls are usually fourth-order and lack intelligence, but can recover damage by gnawing on corpses, and abomination is at least sixth-order creatures. By gnawing on the corpse is more than recovery. It can also absorb the enemy's energy advancement.

The black-robed people used the remains of the unprocessed battlefield after the fierce battle between the Sea Clan and the High Elves to create a large group of ghouls. There are at least 20,000 of them, and there are some abhorrations in them.

The spell he uses is the legendary necromancy, the Rite of Death. The horror of this spell has many facets in Cologne, and the army of the Apuro Empire on the continent of Falmalik has taught it, thanks to the joint efforts of the priests of the Matthew Church and the priests of light from another plane, a large number of undead monsters generated in the ritual have been eliminated.

"It's finally done. "Even with the strength of the black-robed man, he felt tired after completing this legendary spell. And he also used a magical medium to help, the dark powder that fell from his fingers, provided by the newly formed Life Research Institute of the Asturian Empire.

The black-robed man is the new director of the Institute of Life, and he uses it to disguise his other terrifying name, Stephen, the Lord of Life.

According to the secret agreement between the kings of the Isle of the Dead and Asturias, the kingdom has established a special institute for life to cooperate with the kings of the dead.

The Institute will provide a window for the Undead Kings to trade with the outside world, and from then on they will have another way to get the supplies they need, and this window will be handled by Stephen stationed directly in the Life Institute in Asturias.

Of course, the undead are willing to accept it, and since they were driven to the island of the dead, there has been a shortage of materials for necromancers' magical experiments. As long as they appear on the mainland, except for hard robbing. Very few people are willing to trade with them, and it's good not to report them.

After working with the Aurora through the Rose Bank, it was tantamount to opening a path, but the undead certainly didn't mind having another window.

In this war, Solomon influenced the Sea Clan and asked the Sea Clan to send a force to invade the west coast, but he didn't expect some Sea Clan to attract all the attention of the Elven Court. Because in the eyes of the High Elves, the Sea Clan is just some inferior creatures, and only in the sea still has some combat power.

So what if you add the inexplicable appearance of the undead? If you want to shake the Emerald Continent and attract attention, the undead are definitely one of the best choices to pull hatred.

Undead, also known as undead creatures.

But whether or not the undead are living creatures is still unsettled in the wizarding world.

In the Druid's Theory of Nature, or the High Elves' Theory of Dimensional Biology, the undead are mentioned as a product of the natural order of any plane.

In the Arcane theory of the Terrans, it is clearly believed that the undead creature is a living being, but it is a product of the will of the plane order, or a mistake in the plane order.

The undead are also the product of order, but it is different from the order of the will of the plane, and this order is even incomplete, which will produce the undead, and at the same time is not welcomed by the will of the plane, so the vast majority of order creatures will hate the undead, almost instinctively.

However, magicians believe that the undead are actually just different life forms, and it is precisely because of this view that magicians have crazy research on how to actively become undead.

It is not easy for normal undead to appear, because they are suppressed by the order dominated by the will of the plane, and the naturally born undead sometimes take decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years, and then the undead go from the lower rank to the higher rank, and it is a long time.

But when the Terrans rebelled against the rule of the High Elves, there were some magicians in the south who were so crazy that they developed a way to become undead in order to help the Terrans win.

Although this is not the main reason for defeating the High Elves, it is undeniable that the mages who turned into necromancers did greatly enhance the strength of the Terran army at that time.

But after the war, these magicians became even more crazy to study the Wraith Tower, and their wills began to be affected by becoming undead, and transformed into a different species, at least in their minds, other intelligent beings became less and less like their companions, but became research objects, fuel for the Wraith Tower, and so on.

When these necromancers banded together and even established their own kingdom, they ravaged the south, and finally forced other intelligent beings to join forces to destroy their wraith tower and drive them to the island.

Therefore, the undead creatures, although the high elves do not know very much, but the impression left on them is extremely profound.

Because one of the most hateful things about necromancers, which the High Elves will never forget, is that they will turn your dead companions into your enemies.

So in Solomon's plan. Whatever Stephen can do. But as long as the undead appear strangely in the Emerald Continent. It will definitely succeed in pulling hatred, and as for how big it can be pulled, it depends on how much turmoil Stephen's legendary spell can create.

"Go, go. The Lord of Life waved as if singing, but his voice was hoarse.

More than 10,000 ghouls galloped into the distance, which was the direction of Fiji City.

They destroy trees along the way, turning each piece of wood into a weapon in their hands, and then move on.

Stephen hesitated. Stretching out his hands, he began to cast the necromancy again, and the bones on the ground that had been drained of flesh jumped up again.

This time, however, no more powerful undead appeared, only the lowest-ranking skeleton soldiers of the undead, who followed Stephen's will and followed the ghoul.

The master of life is more satisfied, "This is the most reasonable use." ”

Many mages have perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Stephen has some of them, which is manifested in the fact that necromancers lack materials for research or spell casting for many years. Therefore, in addition to researching methods that do not require the use of magical mediums as much as possible, they will also make the best use of them every time they cast a spell.

Waste is shameful.

Do it all. Stephen didn't stop, nor did he follow the ghoul legion to see what was going on.

The deal between him and Asturias has been completed, and the kingdom has provided them with a large number of materials for magical experiments, of course, in the name of the Institute of Life, but in fact most of them will fall into the hands of the undead, which can make Stephen, demigod lichs and others live happily for a while without worrying about experimental materials.

Of course, the necromancer's experiments are not enough for these materials, and often require a large number of corpses or soul fragments, or even whole souls.

Just like the legendary spell just now, the Rite of Death, on the surface it is just the fusion and sucking of flesh and blood, but in fact, it is first and foremost on this battlefield, the battle for soul fragments after death.

The creatures that die on this battlefield, whether they are sea tribes or high elves, as long as their souls are not shattered on the spot, then death will be shattered with the natural order, gradually turning into energy, and the fragmented souls will lack memories.

The Rite of Death is not only the fusion and sucking of flesh and blood, but also the first forced fusion of the floating soul fragments to form the ghoul soul, and who can become the main part of it depends on the strength of the soul fragments at the time of fusion.

If the fused soul fragments are both powerful and close in strength, there is a chance that it will be an abomination, not a ghoul, that will be born.

Stephen would not personally go to Fiji City to attack, that would be equivalent to the hatred of the High Elves directly on him.

So after he created the army of ghouls, he would leave the West Coast immediately, so that even if the High Elves wanted to find the culprit, there was no way.

The mighty army of ghouls approached Fiji City in the dark night, and Edgar and Melinda, who had only been fighting a bloody battle, were terrifying as they could imagine.

In the daytime battle, the defenders of Fiji City suffered heavy casualties, more than 3,000 high elves were killed in direct battle, and thousands were wounded, of which nearly 2,000 were temporarily lost their combat effectiveness.

Unexpectedly, after repelling the Sea Clan, less than ten hours later, an even more terrible disaster struck.

The ghouls' rank combat power is lower than that of the High Elves, but the number of ghouls has exceeded the number of High Elves after the battle with the Sea Clan, and there are at least two Abominations as high as the seventh order, which are mainly transformed by the two High Elf High Elves who died in battle.

Although there were still a small number of centaurs or Terran children in the city, Edgar also saw that the ghoul army also had a large number of skeleton soldiers behind them, and those skeleton soldiers were at least tens of thousands.

"How can this be, where did so many undead monsters come from?" Melinda said in horror, she was born in the Emerald Continent for the first time to see a real undead monster, and she had only seen relevant knowledge in the High Elves' Dharma books and biological genealogies before.

"There's a necromancer, and he must have used the corpses of the dead in our battle with the Sea Clan. Edgar stared at the approaching ghouls and skeletons, his face extremely palpable, his hands clenched into fists. (To be continued.) )
