Bailey sat on a throne made entirely of bones, looking at the land of death in front of him expressionlessly. He had already fallen into deep thought. It had been half a month since he led the undead army from Seawind City all the way north. After Bailey issued the order to massacre the city, all the creatures on the march route were killed and transformed into undead creatures by the lich under Nicholas. Therefore, now the number of undead creatures that Bailey can command has exceeded the number of undead creatures from Star Luo. More than ten times as many as when we set off from the secret base on the archipelago, reaching one million. After so many undead creatures spread out over dozens of kilometers, the vast majority of them are ordinary skeleton warriors. I believe that you can definitely see them from a high altitude. To a white ocean,
The nominal commander of this army of undead is Bailey, but this man who is determined to avenge his father knows very well that he is just a small role pushed by the teacher Nicholas, let alone anything else. , just by following him forward, any one of the ten lichs shrouded in black cloaks all day long has the strength to kill Belle in an instant.
After spending a short period of time in the secret base of the undead in the Star Luo Islands, Bailey also briefly learned a lot about the lich. He discovered that the lich and Ryan were actually very similar. They were both extremely proficient in a certain aspect. Magic, but Ryan only achieved success in magic control through countless practices, while the lich gained another kind of "life" after being transformed, so many of them will backfire on the caster. Powerful dark magic will no longer have any side effects on lichs,
To put it simply, a low-level magic of "blood diversion" can convert the caster's life into mana. Usually, a normal human magician can only use it about a dozen times in his life before his lifespan is exhausted. As for death, the lich has no worries at all. They have lost their "life" and exist in another form. Therefore, this magic will not have any negative impact on the lich at all. In other words, one has mastered it. This magical lich can obtain astonishing mana recovery effects.
From this perspective, even an ordinary magic apprentice, after being transformed into a lich, can master several kinds of dark magic and necromancy magic to do things that a human magister can do, such as not By continuously creating skeleton warriors, and then relying on this blood diversion to restore mana, you can quickly gather a huge legion. The destructive power of this legion is definitely not inferior to the magician's level 6 and level 7 magic.
Of course, it is not easy to transform into a lich. Not to mention that the entire transformation ritual consumes a lot of precious magic materials and the caster's mana. The pain of transformation alone is not something ordinary people can bear. Therefore, the targets chosen by Nicholas and the others are all people with outstanding potential and perseverance, but even so, the entire transformation ceremony still has a success rate of less than 10%, and the vast majority of those who were transformed died. Under the soul-deep pain of the transformation ritual,
This number directly scared away Bailey's desire. He has been able to extend his life by replacing his own body. If nothing happens, he can probably live for hundreds more years. With such a long time to study magic, Bailey firmly believes that As long as you work hard, you may not be able to catch up with Ryan. There is no need to gamble on your luck.
Powerful mana fluctuations interrupted Bailey's contemplation. He raised his head and looked at the secret rituals being performed by the ten lichs. The greatest advantage of the undead army is that it does not require logistical supplies. They can advance and fight day and night. As long as the troops are replenished with the undead secret method from time to time, what the ten lichs are doing at this time is to create new undead creatures. Under their joint casting, the pile of corpses like a hill in the center of them has been completely destroyed. Powerful mana fluctuations were enveloped, and wandering souls would cry and roar from time to time, and the bones on the ground also began to move strangely.
If anyone saw this scene from the side, they would probably be scared to death immediately. However, there are no living people within a radius of dozens of kilometers. The only one who still needs to breathe is Bailey, but his body has also been modified. , can be regarded as a special kind of undead creature.
"Woo." When a whistling sound that was enough to penetrate into the soul came out, the entire secret ritual was completed. The ten lichs stopped their movements in unison, and among the mountains of corpses, one body still remained. The skeleton with a lot of flesh and blood slowly got up,
This skeleton was tall, and many parts of its body were wearing tattered army-style armor. It was obvious that he should have been a captain-level figure in one of Senat's armies during his lifetime. This skeleton looked around blankly, not understanding that he was obviously dead. How could it "alive" again? However, it quickly received the order from Bailey, walked out in a few steps, and stood in the open space next to it.
More of these skeleton warriors crawled out of the mountain of corpses and formed a winding square formation in the open space next to them. Bailey rubbed his nose and understood in his heart that the reason why the square formation in front of him was not neat enough was definitely due to himself. Because the control of mana was not accurate enough, he even felt that if it were Ryan, he would be able to arrange a neat formation even with a few million more. For some reason, Bailey kept thinking of Ryan recently, and he always thought of him. He subconsciously made some small humanistic gestures. Could it be that he was not used to staying with the dead for too long, so he always wanted to highlight that he was different from them
"Bai Lei, the legion's strength has been replenished and we can continue on the road. According to Lord Nicholas' request, we are still more than 200 kilometers away from our destination, Mori Town, which will take about two days." A Lich It used the undead language to speak to Bailey. Its voice did not have any emotional fluctuations, it was just a narration in content.
"Okay." Bailey agreed, and then gave the order to continue moving forward. According to the information Susan and others sent back an hour ago, there are only 2 or 3 days left between here and Mori Town. It’s a small town, and its population is almost gone. After all, the undead army is definitely more terrifying than the plague.
The white sea like a plague moved again. The ten lichs who had just finished the ritual all hid in the bone chariot that Bailey had specially built for them, and Bailey himself sat on the same dead body. On the car made of bones, the only person pulling the car for Berrera in front was an undead warrior with stitch marks on his face. He was the transformed Oz.
Today, except for his face, which retains his original appearance, Oz's body has been greatly modified. Important parts of his body are all covered in spiked bone armor, which Bailey refined for him using a secret method. Yes, its hardness is definitely not inferior to ordinary military standard armor. On Oz's arm, two sharp bone spurs grow. This crescent-like bone spur is Oz's current weapon. As for the rest of Oz's body, it is not The important parts have varying degrees of **, and of course what comes out are the bones inside the body.
It took four hours for the huge undead army to slowly leave. When the white ocean moved away, a slender figure slowly appeared from the air. This elf with pointed ears The scout's face was pale. After all, she had just been hiding less than 50 meters away from Bailey. The pressure brought by the millions of undead creatures was definitely not something ordinary people could bear. It was already very difficult for this female elf scout not to go crazy on the spot. It's not easy, not to mention that she has been hiding her figure in the shadows to ensure that her whereabouts are not discovered by those terrible lichs.
,,,,,,*,,,,,,*,,,,,,
Sitting opposite the female elf scout was the overlord of Cassano, Ryan. Next to Ryan were the elf queen Freya, the dwarf king Reynolds, the chairman of the Free Paradise Merchant Alliance Kiraviv, and the Great Demon of Moon Moon City. After hearing the news, mentor Clifford and others, everyone's expressions were not very good. After all, the catastrophe 200 years ago did not last long.
"What to do." The first one to lose his temper was Chiraviv. The business wizard spoke with some worry: "Such a huge army of undead, and their number will increase with every day of delay. I heard that To deal with such a legion, one can only concentrate on a main decisive battle. Otherwise, as long as one lich survives in this legion, it can quickly recover. The soldiers who died in the battle are their best raw materials. "
"I have done a little bit of research on undead magic, but it is limited to research and finding ways to deal with it." Clifford, the great mage of Wangyue City, spoke: "According to the magic book records of Wangyue City, the undead The biggest feature of magic is that it targets souls and corpses after death. The most basic magics such as creating zombies and summoning skeleton warriors are like this. And the most terrifying thing is that the more powerful the undead magic is, the more souls and corpses it needs. The more corpses there are, the more corpses there will be. Based on this factor, I am absolutely certain that the final destination of this not-so-large undead army should be Mori, where the number of dead people should exceed one million, regardless of whether the number of troops is expanded. There are enough raw materials to support the release of terrifying secrets."
"It's more than that, Great Magister Clifford." Adela's father Adams obviously thought of something. He said worriedly: "It's not just these millions of dead souls. Don't forget, Senat's army also exceeded 400,000, which does not seem to include the large number of civilians he threatens, as well as the imperial troops and logistics troops who are in stalemate with Senat, etc. In a small area like Mori, this is at least one million lives."
