"Ah~" A scream echoed in the underground tunnel. A dark rune knight waved his two-handed giant sword that was as long as a person and threw aside the dwarf corpse strung on the weapon. The corpse was heavy The impact hit the wall of the tunnel, splashing countless blood, and then slowly slid to the ground. Soon, the blood flowing from the dwarf's corpse dyed a large area of the ground red, and the dark rune The knight didn't care about the smell of blood in the air. He walked over the pool of blood, leaving a long series of bloody footprints, and his footsteps could be heard far away in the empty dwarf tunnel.
It has been several days since Nicholas' undead army invaded Blackstone City, the capital of the dwarf country, but the progress has not been particularly smooth. Although they achieved quite satisfactory results in the initial sneak attack, when they penetrated deep into the underground tunnels of the dwarves that extend in all directions After that, the undead army's offensive slowed down obviously.
Dwarf warriors are good at defense, especially in their own homeland where they can take advantage of the narrow terrain. And because Blackstone City is deep underground, large combat units such as Frost Bone Dragon and Behemoth Bone Beast in the Undead Legion simply cannot There was no way to enter, and just throwing undead creatures such as ordinary skeleton warriors into the battle would not be able to exert the numerical advantage of the undead army in a narrow space, so in the end Nicholas could only use the lich and dark runes in his hand. The knight and the giant skeleton golem formed a team and attacked the dwarves respectively.
Nicholas's method was very effective, and soon his army achieved a staged victory. They invaded the center of the dwarf Blackstone City, which is the busiest and most prosperous business district in the dwarf country. The dwarf king Reynolds also lives there. Here, when Ryan and the others entered Black Rock City, the mysterious ore was smelted in the blacksmith shop here.
The dwarves who lost the business district woke up. They no longer fought positional battles with the undead army, but began to use their own advantages to hide and seek with the undead. After tens of thousands of years of excavation by the dwarves, Blackstone City already has countless tunnels, not to mention Outsiders, even the dwarves themselves, cannot completely record these tunnels in their hearts. When facing the undead army that invades the hinterland, this complicated traffic has become the last resort to stop the enemy.
The Dark Rune Knight walked along the tunnel for a while and entered a relatively spacious area. There were a lot of wine barrels, food and some damaged equipment left here that were too late to clean up. Apparently there were dwarves here not long ago. After passing by, there were three entrances to the black rune knight.
The dark rune knight stood in the center of the spacious area. When he set out, there were 3 lichs, 5 dark rune knights and 20 giant skeleton golems in the entire team, as well as some such as elite skeleton warriors, female Undead creatures such as demon revenants, but when facing the countless passage entrances of the dwarves, the entire undead team had to choose a strategy of splitting up their forces to pursue them. As a result, they split up and became this dark rune knight alone. moving forward, and it's time for it to make a choice again,
The Dark Rune Knight was a human holy knight during his lifetime. Nicholas raided the Royal Knights Cemetery on the day Catherine and Fernando XIII got married, stole more than a thousand dead holy knight corpses, and personally killed them by the demigod lich. They were transformed into powerful undead creatures. These holy knights were proficient in military and martial arts during their lifetime, and could exert powerful combat effectiveness with the support of holy power. Now after turning into undead creatures, the demigod lich uses darkness to Power replaced divine power, allowing these dark rune knights to launch more terrifying evil attacks,
It is precisely for this reason that these dark rune knights have independent thoughts, just like those lichs, except that they are no longer warriors fighting bloody battles with the evil dark forces, but have become the most hated undead creatures in their lifetime. Being one of them is probably the greatest tragedy of these heroes.
The Dark Rune Knight only stayed for a few seconds before making a choice, because it found that there was only one entrance with traces of the passage of dwarves. Obviously those dwarves escaped from this passage. According to the order of the Lich Lord Nicholas, the Dark Rune Knight It is necessary to weaken the resistance of the dwarves as much as possible while looking for a passage connecting this plane to the Netherworld. Once the passage connection is found and successfully opened, the half-demon lord Kuze, who has come all the way from the abyss of the earth's core, can The army of the undead enters this continent. At that time, humans will be too busy to take care of themselves, and the army of the undead will be able to act more unscrupulously.
"Ta, tap." The footsteps of the Dark Rune Knight spread far away in the empty dwarf tunnel. This is the biggest feature of the underground tunnel. Without special talent, there is no way to conceal one's whereabouts.
"Huh." When the dark rune knight entered the tunnel less than 50 meters away, a large wooden barrel fell from the top of the tunnel. The barrel was tied with a strong rope and drew an arc in the air. It roared and smashed towards the Dark Rune Knight. The latter almost subconsciously raised his hand and slashed the big wooden barrel with a sword. As a result, all the wine pulp in the barrel spurted out, drenching the Dark Rune Knight. The whole body is covered with wine,
"Fuck him to death." The voices of several dwarves sounded in the tunnel. Several torches broke the darkness in the tunnel and flew towards the Dark Rune Knight from different locations, igniting immediately after touching the latter's body. He drank the wine and turned the Dark Rune Knight into a pyro.
"Haha, great."
"This guy has killed many of our comrades, burn him to death, burn him to death."
Several dwarves came out of the hiding place with weapons raised. They watched excitedly as the Dark Rune Knight was swallowed up in the blazing flames. They were extremely excited. This Dark Rune Knight had been chasing them for more than a day, many of them. All the dwarves who fell behind died in its hands, which naturally made the remaining dwarves hate it, so they set up a trap to deal with this dark rune knight.
The joyful laughter suddenly stopped, and the Dark Rune Knight, who was supposed to have died under the flames, walked out unharmed. The black armor on its body still had many places burning with flames, but it did not cause any damage to the armor. any damage,
"Ah, hurry up..." The dwarf closest to the Dark Rune Knight only had time to say so much before he was split open by the giant sword wielded by both hands. His upper body fell forward, but his lower body was running backwards. After a few steps, he fell to the ground, and the tunnel was immediately filled with his painful shouts.
"Stupid guy." A cold voice came from behind the black rune helmet. The dark rune knight danced his sword and slashed several times in succession, killing all the dwarves who had attacked it before. Then he casually used the giant sword with both hands. Hold it diagonally, letting the blood on the sword flow along the edge to the ground.
A dwarf who was not completely dead was lying on the ground. He reluctantly raised his head and looked up, as if he wanted to see clearly the true face of the demon in front of him. He didn't understand why the dwarf clan, which was indifferent to the world, suffered so tragically. He will never understand the price, because the black rune knight's sword passed his neck, the dwarf's head flew high, and finally fell to the depths of the tunnel, and the dark rune knight Knight Wen took another step forward, heading deeper into the dwarf tunnel.

"Seventeen, eighteen... twenty-one, well, that's probably these people." Ryan, who had released the invisibility technique, silently counted the strength of the undead team in front of him, 4 dark rune knights, 6 giant skeletons Golem, 10 elite skeleton warriors, and 1 lich wearing a gray lich robe,
Ryan found this undead team about 70 kilometers southwest of the Cassano Western Front Camp. They were located in a mountain forest covered with lush trees. If Ryan hadn't used a large area of magic eyes to search carefully, , it is really difficult to find them. Judging from the traces left on the dwarf armor, Ryan believes that this undead team is the one that intercepted the dwarves asking for help, but Ryan is not sure why this undead team is still there. Being near the ambush site, aren't they worried about attracting Cassano's revenge
Now that he has found traces of the enemy, Ryan is not busy avenging those dwarf warriors. He carefully hides his whereabouts and observes silently in the dark. Ryan hopes to find more traces through this undead team. After all, It was only dawn, and he still had a few hours to live.
Ryan's waiting was not in vain. He soon saw what he wanted to see. The gray-robed lich recited some spells from time to time, and a large area was vaguely visible on the ground under its feet. Magic circle, obviously this lich is constantly charging the magic circle under his feet in order to maintain the operation of the entire magic circle.
Due to the long distance, Ryan cannot observe the magic circle carefully, so it is not yet clear what its specific function is. The only thing that is certain is that the area of this magic circle is not enough to bear the power required for a powerful killing magic. Energy accumulation, and it is so far away from Cassano, so the magic circle should not be used to attack Cassano.
After waiting for more than an hour, Ryan discovered that this undead team seemed to be staying here just to maintain the operation of the magic circle. This made Ryan's curiosity about the magic circle even stronger. With Ryan's current strength, he was completely You can prepare a powerful magic to eliminate the undead team in front of you before the enemy notices it, but in this case, the magic circle cannot be preserved, and the lich is very careful to surround itself with itself as the center in a radius of several hundred meters. Various magic traps were arranged in the area, and there were also high-level undead creatures patrolling back and forth. For a while, Ryan was unable to sneak in without alerting his opponent.
