Chapter 5: Deadend

Dick stood at the head of the city, lost in thought. Around him, the bones of skeleton warriors and the corpses of ghouls were almost piled up in a circular hill. He himself was covered in blood and embarrassed. A thick layer of purple-black blood had accumulated on the Demon Sword's Netherworld.

"Is there no other way? Such a war of attrition, even if it is won in the end, Miro will be greatly damaged, and I don't know when he will be able to send troops to Faen. Dick said to Dimihera in his heart.

Di Mihra said helplessly: "That can't be helped, the undead can be said to be the most troublesome race." As long as there is energy and corpses, the Undead Scourge will be in full swing. ”

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Dick had a flash of inspiration in his head, and he had a vague idea of something.

"I say, the undead are the most troublesome race. Timichra was surprised by his reaction, but repeated what she had said.

"Not that!" Dick corrected.

"As long as there is energy and corpses, the Undead Scourge will be in full bloom?" said Dimichra.

"yes, that's it! What if we trapped the undead in a place where there was no energy and no corpses?" Dick excited.

Demihra thought for a moment and said, "The abomination and ghoul of the undead feed on corpses, and if they are trapped, ......"

“...... If they are trapped, they will definitely kill each other after they are so hungry!" In the headquarters temporarily converted from Andy City City Lord's Mansion, Marshal Lupsas slapped the table excitedly and laughed loudly, "Dick, how did you come up with this solution?"

"Well...... I was reminded by a friend's words. Dick thought for a moment.

"What a great idea, how could we not have thought of it before?Dick, if this idea succeeds, you should take the first credit!" said Lupsas Daxiao.

"But where should we go?" asked Longle.

Marshal Lupsas stared at the sand table, then his fingers arced in mid-air, and finally stopped in one place.

"Mochizuki Canyon!" Dick said in unison with Long.

Marshal Lupsas nodded, "Yes, I have traveled around in my early years, and I have been to this Mochizuki Canyon, which is very large, but the two sides are cliffs and extremely steep, and the exits at both ends are very narrow. There is no better place in the entire north of the empire for this jihua than there. ”

"I'm going to ask Master Fario to come over. Dick said as he ran out of the City Lord's Mansion.

A few minutes later, the Holy Magister of Fario was already standing in the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the sand table in the center of the hall and said, "It's very simple to use the earth wall technique at both ends of the Mochizuki Canyon to encircle the canyon, but the difficult thing is to arrange a layer of magic barrier on top of the cliff valley to separate the inside and outside. ”

"Can it be then?" Lupsas asked.

Fario muttered, "It should be possible, we have more than four thousand magicians, and we can divide into four shifts to take turns inputting mana into the magic array. ”

"And how strong will the earth walls and air barriers cast by more than a thousand magicians work together?" asked Longle.

"Indestructible. At least five I can't break. Fario replied.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, the barrier that the five Saint Realm mages couldn't break together was enough to trap the undead, and now, there was only one problem left.

"Who's going to be the bait?" asked Marshal Lupsas.

The four people in the room fell silent for a moment.

"I'll do it. Dick said, "My Demon Hunter Guards can take on this task!"

Hearing this, Lupsas was overjoyed: "Dick, if you can win this battle, you will be the first to take the lead!"

Long'er turned away to hide the subtle glint in his eyes.

In the dead night, a waning moon hung high in the sky

In the hazy moonlight, a faint flicker of dark golden light was faintly visible, and it was a dark golden cavalry galloping by, and the rumbling hooves thundered in the silent wilderness, breaking the dead silence of the night.

Dick held the magic sword Netherworld, rode a white horse, and rode first. Behind him were Gold and Hawke, followed by a thousand demon-hunters in dark golden armor. Considering the narrow entrance to Mochizuki Canyon, in order to facilitate the retreat, Dick took only a thousand people with him.

At the same time as Dick departed, the Holy Magister of Fario, Marshal Lupsas, and Prince Longer also set off for Mochizuki Canyon to set up.

By night, Dick galloped all the way to the camp of the undead with a thousand demon hunters, saying that it was a camp, but in fact it was just a place to sleep. There were no campfires, no tents, just an open space full of undead. Some of the undead have been awakened by the sound of horses' hooves.

"For the sake of the Terrans, for the sake of the homeland fathers behind us, kill me! Milo's glory is with me, and the god of war is with me!" Dick waved his horsewhip and rushed with his sword first.

"The glory of Miro is with me, and the god of war is with me!" A thousand hoarse cries, a thousand cavalrymen charged fearlessly, and a thousand wills determined to fight to the death!

"Kill!" a thunderous cry shook the night sky. The undead rose to their feet when they heard this, but before they could react, a thousand cavalrymen had already slaughtered! Cavalry spears and battle shields emitted a dark golden light in the moonlight. But soon the dark gold turned into purple-black.

The color of the blood of the undead!

War spears are like forests, war shields are like walls, a thousand cavalry have been killed brazenly, and there is no one who has joined forces, even if he is four meters tall, fat and strong, it is difficult to save his life under such a sharp forest of cavalry spears, and they have been pierced through the body by a shot, and purple-black blood rushes out.

Dick charged at the forefront of the ranks, the black demonic flame attached to the demon sword netherworld, and was danced with a heavy sword shadow, the sword shadow came, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the stumps were everywhere.

Hawke and Gold's sword and sword are also unparalleled, the sword light and sword shadow flickering vertically and horizontally, and they die when they touch, and they are injured when they touch.

Unstoppable fierce generals, fierce armies that are not afraid of death, and demon hunters and guards are invincible everywhere they go!

In this way, when the undead army formed a battle line, nearly 500,000 undead natural disasters had been killed by a mere team of 1,000 people. And the number of casualties in this thousand people is less than two hands.

"Alright, let's run!" Dick saw that the undead in the distance behind him had gradually formed a battle line, and immediately gave the order to retreat to Gold and Hawke.

"Warriors, it's time to retreat!" Gold raised his voice in a vindictive voice, and the voice was heard far, far away.

At this moment, in the undead camp in the distance, there was a roar of extreme rage. With this roar, the entire Scourge Legion roared like a giant beast awakened from its slumber, stretched its hands and feet, and then pursued the little bugs that dared to disturb its sleep, intending to trample them into minced flesh with one kick!

"Slow down, don't let the undead get lost!" Dick commanded loudly.

So a thousand demon guards kept the speed of the horses at a constant level, not too fast, not too slow.

Behind him, the Scourge Legion frequently resounded with thunderous roars, and the ferocious aura was overwhelming. The undead were all over the sky chasing after this thousand-man team.

At dawn, Dick and the others finally arrived at Mochizuki Canyon, the entrance to the canyon was very narrow, but when they entered, they found that the space inside was actually very large. At the other end of the canyon, there is an equally narrow exit.

The Demon Hunter guards began to rush to the other end of the canyon, they blocked the exit, and before the Scourge Legion entered the canyon, they had to guard the exit of the canyon, and not let the vanguard of the Undead Scourge out of the canyon.

The sign that the Scourge has all entered the canyon is the yellow magic arrow. The Magic Arrow is a gadget blessed with light magic, and its main purpose is communication.

As long as there are yellow magic arrows in the air, Dick and the others can retreat, and these are all discussed with the marshal in advance.

A thousand demon hunters stood at the exit of the canyon wearing dark golden armor and armed with dark golden spears and battle shields. It's like an impassable wall. Dick stood right in the center of the wall.

On the top of a mountain peak on the left side of the canyon near the entrance, Prince Longer led a team of 1,000 people to stand silently, and two soldiers blessed with the light magic "Eagle Eye Technique" poked their heads out and stared closely at the entrance of the canyon. I saw countless natural calamity armies entering the Mochizuki Canyon as if they were endless. The one in the back pushes the one in front, but the entrance to Mochizuki Canyon is too narrow, and the more crowded it is, the more difficult it is to enter.

Time passed slowly as everyone waited, and the sun was fully revealed, and it was gradually moving overhead.

"It's in, great, they're all in at last!" the two soldiers in charge of keeping an eye suddenly shouted excitedly. When Longer heard this, he immediately came to the edge of the cliff, and when he looked up, the canyon was already crowded with the Scourge Legion, pushing and crowding each other. And there is not a single undead to be seen outside the canyon.

Immediately, a soldier walked to the edge of the cliff with a bunch of magic arrows in his hand. He took out a yellow one and put it on his bow and prepared to shoot it into the sky. However, Prince Longer came to his side and said in an unquestioning tone, "Shoot the red magic arrow!"

The soldier immediately said, "But, Your Royal Highness, the red magic arrow is ordering all the mages to close the canyon, this is ......"

"If I tell you to shoot, you'll shoot!" where did you get all this nonsense?" said Long's furious.

"Yes, yes, your subordinates obey your orders. The soldier was so frightened by Long'er that he took a red magic arrow and shot it into the air. The magic arrow lit up with red light as soon as it broke away from the bow, and it exploded directly in midair, obscuring the sky with a cloud of scarlet light.

The whole canyon let out a "buzzing" sound, echoing in all directions. The magical elements in the air condensed at an astonishing speed. And it is gradually becoming substantial.

"Oops!" Dick suddenly yelled at the exit of Mochizuki Canyon, "Quick, get out of the valley!" he shouted.

But it was too late, and with a loud rumbling bang, a wall of earth rose out of thin air behind the demon hunters' guards, blocking their retreat out of the valley, and the wall rose higher and higher, as if it were endless. When it reached Zuihou, it expanded to the two wings, converging with the mountains on both sides of the canyon and completely sealing the canyon.

At the same time, the magical elements in the air rippled out strange fluctuations, like a stone thrown into the water surface and rippled a little bit, under this fluctuation, a layer of colorful energy diaphragm condensed above the canyon, making the canyon completely a closed space.

Dick's mind moved, and his black wings immediately stretched out from his back, and at the same time, his eyes also turned a strange blood red, and his wings shook slightly, and he instantly launched a "teleportation technique." But Dick was horrified to find that his figure was still in place!

Something, or someone, is limiting their ability to teleport!

It's a conspiracy, a conspiracy to bring yourself to your death!
