South of Darkmoon.
Lan Rong's army has already crossed Soto Town and arrived near Yankou Town.
Looking at the deserted town that used to be an ancient battlefield in front of him, Teuton, the lord of Blue Molten, frowned: "According to the captives in Soto Town, this place was once corroded by death energy and the power of the dead, and became Cursed land?"
Next to Teuton was Nader, the head of the main force, the Azure Legion, who said disapprovingly: "The so-called cursed land is just a few undead creatures, so it can still pose a threat to our army? As long as our troops walk over, they can grind those bones to powder just by moving their feet."
Mallorca, the head of the two-headed dragon army, also said: "Master Teutonic, if we want to avoid Yankou Town, we can only take the steep mountain road, so we must go around in a big circle, taking into account the factors of terrain and monsters, It is inevitable that some unnecessary losses will be encountered, and the date originally agreed with Lord Chiyou to siege Dark Moon will also be delayed."
The special envoy of the imperial capital, Diack, was a little anxious: "Master Teutonic, I think it is better to go directly to Yankou Town. This time the siege of Dark Moon is a great achievement. If the credit is taken away by Lord Zhuoqie alone, wouldn't Lanrong be the one?" No face?"
As the special envoy of the imperial capital and also the warlord, this war without suspense is the best opportunity to make meritorious service. Diack won the post of special envoy with great difficulty, so he was naturally worried that the credit would slip away.
"Zhuoqie? That guy is very slippery, so he won't easily confront Dark Moon." Teuton smiled and shook his head confidently. Zhuoqie, like him, has the same intention to preserve his strength and will not let his elite soldiers easily Fight desperately with the main force of the dark moon. It only needs to join forces in one place and attack from both sides. Even if the dark moon holds the city and sticks to it, the losses will be much smaller.
It's just that Teuton didn't expect that Xi Ya would take the initiative to attack with fewer hits, and he didn't expect that Zhuoqie's battle that was sure to win would fail.
At present, Zhuoqi is seriously injured and unconscious, and is being taken care of by Kanita, and Kanita is also temporarily deciding on the size and size of Chiyou's territory.
Diack saw that Teutonic didn't seem to be in a hurry to march, so he changed his mind: "Speaking of undead, the subordinate Liu I brought this time happened to be proficient in undead magic. My lord might as well listen to his opinion."
Diack's reaction was within Teuton's expectation, he nodded and said, "I've heard about the reputation of this Master Lyu, and that's exactly what I intend."
Diack hurriedly called Lyu forward, and Facing Teutonic's inquiry, Lyu seemed quite confident: "My lord, this town was originally a famous ancient battlefield, and many powerful heroic spirits were buried in it. , if they are all transformed into undead creatures, it is indeed quite difficult to deal with. However, the soul power of many heroic spirits is extremely powerful. These truly powerful heroic spirits. This kind of powerful necromancer... As far as I know, there is no one in the entire Demon World."
Since the legendary master of undead magic in the Blood Fiend Empire disappeared two thousand years ago, as a collateral branch of dark magic, undead magic has gradually declined in recent years. Looking at the current demon world, one must be proficient in undead magic, but also be close to the devil emperor level or a strong man at the devil emperor level, let alone Lyu, who has never heard of it, even Teuton has never heard of it.
Will there be such a strong person in the Dark Moon Territory? You can know the answer with your thumb.
"Are you sure?" Nader asked.
"Master Nader has experienced many battles and is famous far and wide. When it is my turn to fight, I am definitely far inferior to him. However, when it comes to undead magic, the entire Fallen Angel Empire may not be able to find anyone who has researched it better than me." Said Up to this point, Liu showed a strong confidence. For this way, he has indeed put in a lot of hard work and research.
Teuton nodded: "This is a very important judgment. It seems that His Excellency Diack and Master Sulfur must have contributed a lot to defeating the Dark Moon this time."
In fact, when Teutonic heard Mallorca's words just now, he had already made up his mind to pass directly through Yankou Town. This pretense was just to find a step to give Diack a little more credit. Diack is a direct descendant of the royal family. Judging from the situation of being a special envoy this time, he must have a good future. It is better to give him a favor, and there will be many people in the imperial capital to take care of him in the future.
"Thank you Lord Lord!" Diack was overjoyed, and deliberately showed his ability to analyze: "Since they are just some insignificant low-level undead creatures, why is Yankou Town classified as a 'cursed land' by Dark Moon? All moved to Soto Town? I think there may be some mystery in it."
This sentence really reminded Teuton, thinking of Dark Moon's recent rapid economic development, his heart moved.
Mallorca has already reacted: "Could it be some kind of base in Dark Moon, or a hiding place of wealth?"
"The order is to pass on, the army will advance directly through Yankou Town, and if you really find something in a while, Mallorca, you will bring a team to stay." Teuton glanced at Diack and said with a smile: "As for Diack Your Excellency Ke, naturally your share is indispensable."
Filled with joy, Diack quickly thanked Teutonic, feeling secretly proud of his ingenuity.
Just like that, the Blue Melting Army marched straight towards Yankou Town.
When approaching the area of Yankou Town, I felt that the temperature dropped a few degrees inexplicably, and the surrounding area was filled with a gloomy and cold atmosphere. The soldiers also seemed a little cautious, advancing vigilantly and carefully under the order of Teutonic.
Because Yankou Town was originally an ancient battlefield, where countless heroic spirits were buried, and there were rumors of a small group of low-level undead creatures, Teuton didn't take it seriously. Something that might be "hidden" is of interest.
Just when the Lan Rong army passed through the ancient battlefield of Yankou Town, a large amount of gray fog suddenly appeared, and the road under their feet seemed to be completely disordered, and it was impossible to see the way ahead.
"What's going on?" Teuton and the others were taken aback, and even the magic horse under the seat began to become uneasy, as if full of fear.
"Could it be... the Nether Fog?" Liu showed surprise, "It can make undead creatures exert stronger combat power in it, but... this is advanced undead magic, which has been lost for more than a thousand years."
At this time, the soldiers were ordered to report in a hurry: "My lord, a large number of undead creatures are found in front of me!"
As soon as the words were finished, the screams of the soldiers could be vaguely heard from the fog ahead. Not only that, but someone came to report, and a large amount of fog appeared behind, and even the escape route was gone.
Teuton was taken aback, and hastily reined in his magic horse, and shouted: "Order the army to stop advancing immediately and prepare to fight!"
When Teuton led Mallorca and others to rush to the front, they saw countless shambling figures in the mist. With enough eyesight, they could only see that they were all skeletons. I don't know the exact number. , I don't even know what more advanced undead creatures are hidden.
Are these "just a few" undead? It is simply an army! Nader, who said this earlier, couldn't help but gasped.
Although it is only the lowest level of skeleton soldiers, it may be due to the Nether Fog. The combat power of these skeletons seems to be much stronger than Teutonic cognition, and the undead do not feel any pain. One skeleton was cut off by a soldier. Behind half of the body, he still chopped off the opponent's feet with the rusty scimitar in his hand.
Facing such a terrifying enemy, the morale of the army was greatly hit. Teutonic made a decisive decision and ordered the elite ice blue magician army to dispatch. The Magician Legion is the strongest "special force" of the Blue Molten Army. In the general territorial army, it is very good to have a magician brigade with dozens or hundreds of people, but Teutonic spared no expense and spent a lot of money to build it. A team of 600 magicians, dubbed the official legion title, called the Ice Blue Magician Legion.
In the magician army, the middle-level demons are the most powerful, and the high-level demons are relatively few. The leader of the army is a fire magician named Thuram. Although the combat power of these magicians is not very strong individually, the power they display together, especially on the battlefield, is absolutely astonishing.
With Thuram's order, wind blades, ice cones, fireballs, etc. flew towards the undead like hail. This large-scale concentrated magic attack is far more lethal to skeletons and skeletons. .
Thuram quickly chanted a mantra, waved his wand in his hand, and a large number of flaming meteorites fell from the air. The lethality and area of this meteor fire shower were extremely large, within tens of meters, there were burning skeletons.
It's just that the skeletons didn't show any fear at all, and many of them walked forward with their broken bodies, which made the soldiers tremble.
Just as the ice blue mage army tried their best to shatter their magic and block the attack of the skeletons, strange magic fluctuations suddenly appeared in the mist, and then colorful lights lit up, and countless magic lights rushed out. The attack area was still large. Far better than the Ice Blue Mage Legion.
The Lan Rong army in front was caught off guard, where the light passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, screaming continuously, and many soldiers were damaged.
"So many magic fluctuations? Could it be that the enemy also has a magician army?" Teuton was taken aback, and he didn't care about being polite, and shouted to Lyu: "How long will it take to dispel these ghost fogs?"
"There are still a few minutes." Liu is using a strange "paint" to draw a strange magic circle on the ground. This "paint" is the essence of magic he refined, and it is very expensive, but the situation is urgent now. It was he who assured him that there was no problem, so he couldn't care less about it right now.
"The front army retreats! Vertical shield! Retaliate with bows and arrows!" Nader was already commanding the soldiers to take precautions, and Thuram was also ordering the magician army to carry out a coordinated attack, but the effect of bows and arrows was not good, and magic After all, the number of divisions and corps is limited, and they may be able to play a key role at certain moments, but now they are powerless to use as the main force to destroy the enemy head-on.
Not long after, many magicians had exhausted their mana, and took out the mental power recovery potions they had equipped to take. Large-scale hand-to-hand combat had already begun ahead, and the casualties of Lan Rong's side increased rapidly. The scary thing is that the skeletons in the mist seem to be endless, mixed with large pieces of magical flames from time to time.
The magic circle drawn by Lyu finally took effect, and the Nether fog gradually thinned out, but the clear vision greatly increased the fear of the Blue Molten army.
Undead!
The endless ocean of undead!
The Blue Melting Territory is located in the southern part of the Dark Moon. It is not adjacent to the Shadow Empire like Chiyou. There are only some small territories in the Fallen Angel Empire nearby. Going south is the Sea of Death, so there is no need to worry about it. So although the overall strength of the troops is inferior to that of Chiyou, this time Lan Rong dispatched an army of 100,000, more than 10,000 more than Chiyou. They gathered very few left-behind troops, intending to show their merits to the imperial capital.
Anyway, this is a battle that can be won without defeat, and the number of people alone can kill Dark Moon!
However, the superiority in numbers that Teutonic relied on has become an absolute disadvantage in this sea of undead. According to visual estimation, this group of undead is at least 600,000 to 700,000, encircling the entire Melted Blue Army, as if the ancient The heroic spirits buried in the battlefield are all resurrected!
Lan Melt's ice blue magician army also saw the true face of those enemies who released magic—thousands of bony skeletons!
Skeletons... mages
Skeletons, the lowest level of undead creatures, can actually cast magic!
Simply unheard of!
However, the magic of these skeleton mages is not changeable like real people. They can only cast a single elemental attack, and after casting it once, it takes a period of recovery time before the next round of attack is issued.
The undead army gave Lan Rong a shock not only from the skeleton mages, but also from the rows of skeleton soldiers riding on monster skeleton mounts behind them. The fighting power was obviously higher than the previous cannon fodder skeletons.
When did skeleton soldiers have cavalry
In front of the cavalry were a dozen or so knights riding black horses and covered in black armor—the most advanced undead creatures, terrifying knights!
Facing the highest achievement of undead magic, Lyu's body trembled a little, and he didn't know whether it was fear or excitement, but Lan Rong's soldiers obviously only had fear left.
Teutonic never thought that he would fall into such a desperate situation. Now it is useless to regret anything. He raised his voice and exhaled: "I am Teutonic, Lord of Blue Molten. Abbas, may I ask which powerful magician is here?" Control these undead army?"
"Jie jie jie jie..." An ugly laugh rang out, spreading across the entire battlefield, a figure appeared in front of the terrifying knight, his whole body was shrouded in a cloak filled with black air, his true face could not be seen clearly, giving people a sense of awe. a feeling of.
"Your Excellency the great necromancer, I have never seen your powerful magic power," Teuton said flatteringly, "Today my army is not trying to offend Your Excellency, it is just an urgent matter and I just want to pass by, please Your Excellency has given you this convenience, and as a reward, I will offer you a gift that you are satisfied with, money, magic materials, and magic props are up to you to choose."
The undead mage's sinister voice sounded: "I only want one thing... that is your body, tsk tsk tsk, a lot of fresh bodies, just enough to form an army of zombies! And those magicians, my skeleton mage The legion can also be expanded!"
As soon as the other party came up, he blocked the conversation, and Teutonic's pupils shrank suddenly. It seemed that a battle was inevitable today. With the comparison of the military strength of the two sides, and the characteristics of undead creatures, I am afraid that the whole army may be wiped out. The only chance is beheading. As long as the necromancer who controls the army is eliminated, the army will naturally disintegrate.
Before Teuton could think about it, the opponent had already launched an attack. The skeleton army attacked the Blue Melt Army from all directions. Under the command of Mallorca and Nader, the Blue Melt Army formed a defensive circle. In front of the sea of skeletons coming in like a wave, the casualties of the demoralized Blue Melting Army skyrocketed, and the circle began to slowly retract.
At this moment, the magician legion began to unleash the most powerful attack magic, and cast it towards the skeleton cavalry where the necromancer was. At the same time, several figures in the blue melting army rushed out. The power is very powerful, all of them are at the level of the devil or even the big devil, and the target is the necromancer commanding the army.
The skeletons reacted quickly, and those figures were gradually submerged in the sea of bones, and some of them didn't even have time to scream. The necromancer suddenly raised his head, and saw Mallorca's figure appearing in the air, holding a giant sword, and beheaded him.
The previous magic attacks and commandos were just a cover to attract firepower. The strongest combat force under Teutonic, Mallorca in the first stage of the Demon Emperor, was the real killing move.
Mallorca had used all his strength in this blow, and a huge deep ditch appeared on the ground suddenly. The surrounding terrifying knights were all unable to stand firmly under this powerful slash, and they were thrown off their feet. The necromancer was caught off guard, and was struck by a sword, and his body was instantly torn apart.
Got it! Teutonic was overjoyed, but the smile soon froze on his face, and he saw Mallorca was wrapped in black smoke from the necromancer's split body, screaming and rolling on the ground, and soon the sound gradually became weaker , and then stood up strangely like a puppet, with a faint light in his eyes.
"Very good, the materials for the first stage of the Demon Emperor level, I will add a powerful terrifying knight." The trembling voice of the necromancer sounded from the throat of "Mallorca".
Teuton, Nader and the others were all shocked. This necromancer actually killed Mallorca in the first stage of the Demon Emperor in close combat! Could it be an immortal body? In this way, is there no weakness
I just heard the necromancer add a sentence as if talking to himself: "By the way, that lord should also be at the Demon Emperor level, that's great..."
Teuton shuddered, unconcealable fear rose in his heart, and suddenly thought of what Lyu said earlier, "Unless there is a magician who is close to the strength of a devil emperor, and he must be extremely proficient in undead magic, it is possible to use these truly powerful heroic spirits." ", so the opponent is at least the peak of the Demon Emperor? Or the Devil Emperor
How can there be such a terrifying existence in the Dark Moon Territory!
If you don't escape here today, I'm afraid this will really become a death slave enslaved by this terrifying magician, and immediately hissed: "The whole army retreats and breaks out to the south!"
"It's too late, none of you can get away today." Sen Ran's laughter grew louder, and a large amount of gloomy fog began to fill the surroundings, and the entire sky became dark, only occasionally showing a little light against the background The soldiers looked desperate and terrified.
