A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

 Chapter 409 I need a little stimulation...

 …

　　Demon Lord Eisner’s radical move obviously exceeded everyone’s expectations.

 Matthew is no exception.

 He thought he would only be facing Eisner's men.

I never thought that this demon lord would take the risk of being cut into pieces and forcefully descend to the main material world!

 “This is too crazy!”

Matthew couldn’t help but click his tongue.

 Due to the existence of permanent barriers and plane barriers, it is difficult for powerful beings in the outer plane worlds such as the abyss, purgatory, and evil spirits to descend directly into the material world.

 This is a kind of protection for the creatures in the material world.

 For the powerful beings in the outer world, this is a kind of shackles and constraints.

 In the history of Irondor.

 Powerful beings from the Outer Planes have tried many methods to exert their influence on the material world.

 But the most common ones are to support spokespersons, control clones or projections, promote secret churches, etc.

It is not that no one has tried to break his body into pieces, pass through the barrier, and then enter the material world, and then complete the "smuggling" through reorganization or resurrection.

 But the powerful beings who did this in history all died miserably.

 On the one hand, the material world has its own guardians, and they are basically on the same level as the powerful beings in the outer plane.

 Many people were arrested on the spot during the smuggling process.

 Don’t say it’s coming.

 Haven’t even touched the starry sky of Irondor!

On the other hand, breaking it into parts will make you weak. No matter how strong your regeneration ability is, you will still face the risk of being completely wiped out.

During the promotion of Tianlun Palace, some gods tried to do this.

 He cut himself into pieces.

 Then there will be no more.

 But the situation is different now.

 Most of the high-level mages in the alliance have been affected by time distortion, and there has been a short window of high-end combat power in the material world.

 This means that as long as no one messes with the outer planes.

 Smuggling is difficult to stop if it is broken into parts.

 The same is true after Advent.

Eisner cut himself into 100 million parts. As long as one part can survive, his smuggling operation is successful.

Matthew certainly had the intention to kill all of Eisner's mutilated parts.

 But he also knew very well that he did not have that ability.

 “It’s a bit troublesome…”

 He rubbed his temples and stared at the northeast.

 With the blessing of the farsighted scroll.

 He could see that there were other shadows behind the purple cracks, ready to move!

 If you distinguish carefully.

 It is not difficult to see that the shadows include an eyeball, a section of intestines and an internal organ.

Matthew glanced at the data column.

 Learned that they were Eisner's left eye, cecum and pancreas.

 The tongue is only the first step.

The remaining bodies of the demon lord Eisnar are also actively pouring into Irondor.

The only positive news may be that Eisner did not throw all his bodies north of Rolling Stone.

 He clearly had risk sharing in mind.

Matthew estimates that Eisner's body may appear outside the cities of Rapid City, Gem Bay, and other areas in the south!

  Preventing the invasion of this level of demon lord is obviously not Matthew's job alone.

 This is an arduous task that all creatures in the continent of Irondor must work together to complete!

 Matthew’s brain was spinning wildly—

 Let’s not talk about how to stop Eisner.

 He must think of a strategy to fight against the "army of tongues"!

At this time, there was a little movement from the mossy green hills.

　　It is estimated that the Southern Division Magistrates also noticed Eisner’s crazy behavior.

 It didn’t take long.

Yu Qi also came to the door with a grimace.

As an astrologer, Yu Qi’s divination ability is amazing. He brought Eisner’s information to Matthew.

“Demon Lord Eisner has the blood of the Abyss Royal Family, a large demon race known as the High Demons, which has a decisive influence in a large part of the Abyss.”

“Eisner’s father was once one of the demon lords who attacked the Soviet Union. He died in the catastrophe of the Soviet Emperor. Therefore, Eisner has a very subtle emotion towards the Soviet Union.”

"On the one hand, he is very glad that the Su Kingdom killed his father, so that he could ascend to the position of high-level demon clan leader at a young age, and gain territory and power that ordinary people can't imagine - by the way, the power of the demon lord will be It grows as the number of territories it occupies grows, which is why demons are a highly expandable race. As long as they can occupy and infect more lands, the Abyss Matrix will give them more power."

“On the other hand, Eisner is also very afraid of any elements related to the Soviet Union or even humans.

I'm afraid this is the important reason why he chose to place the main battlefield of his landing in the material world in Rolling Stone City and Gemstone Bay.

terribly sorry.

 It is we who have caused trouble for you.

This guy is here for the Southern French Magistrate Corps! "

Yu Qi’s expression was somewhat helpless.

Matthew shook his head:

“The demon lord aims to invade the land of the main material world. No matter who he comes for, no one can be immune.”

 “By the way, what’s going on with the so-called higher demons?”

Yu Qi said:

"The Great Demon is the top level of the abyssal society, but you should also know that the Great Demons are all hatched from demon eggs. There is no blood relationship between each Great Demon. Therefore, the Great Demon Group is the most important link in the entire Abyssal Society. The loosest."

"The high-level demons are different. They are a special group that has mastered the method of stably hatching great demons. We don't know the specific content. Eisner's family can indeed produce an astonishing number of great demons stably."

 “And these big demons have stronger physical qualities than their ordinary counterparts.”

 “The scariest thing is their ability to recover.”

“The recovery ability of high-level demons is more than ten times that of large demons of the same level!”

“The recovery ability of devils is not bad, but compared with high-level devils, even high-level devils cannot reach the edge of their old enemies..."

“I read in previous books that Eisner’s father had nine hearts. As long as one of them is still beating, he can recover half of his heart in a dozen seconds.”

“Eisner most likely inherited this resilience as well.”

“In addition, the Great Demon itself can also evolve different resistance and adaptability according to different environments.”

“The soldiers they led also displayed this characteristic.”

“Historically, Soviet soldiers generally believed that the most difficult point in the fight against the big devil was that the opponent always traded lives for lives to find someone to fight with—

 Even if they are seriously injured, as long as they do not die, the only ones who suffer the most are those with minor injuries.

 This affects morale very much...”

Matthew remained calm after hearing this.

 Compared to human soldiers, demons are indeed more terrifying.

 But he can only be treated equally in front of his undead.

“Then demons must have weaknesses, right?”

he asks.

Yu Qi muttered:

“We generally believe that the devil’s weakness lies in light and fire.”

"The first is fire. In very ancient times, demons were very afraid of flames. Later, the demons discovered this. They always used the flames from **** to burn demons. Taking advantage of this, the demons obtained in the early stages of the **** battle. Big bargain.

 But not long.

 Some of the great demons and the armies they lead have evolved extremely high fire resistance.

So they fought back.

Even so.

Not all demon armies have high fire resistance.

 In the history of the Soviet Union’s fight against the devil.

 There have also been several large-scale cases of successful fire attacks.

Those demons do not exhibit high fire resistance.

 According to the speculation of the Great Wall Mage Legion.

 The devil’s fire resistance requires environmental cultivation and time to adapt—

That is to say.

 Even if a certain demon army has evolved fire resistance.

 But as long as they are not in contact with the flame for a long time.

This resistance will slowly disappear.

 Until the next time they encounter a fire attack, they will often suffer a big loss in the early stage, but it won't take long before the bloodline's resistance to fire can be reawakened. "

 Matthew nodded slowly:

  “Adaptability, not conventional resistance.”

 “What about the light?”

Yu Qi said:

“Although demons can move under the sun, they generally hate sunlight.”

“It is said that this is because the environment of the abyss is shrouded in a huge blood cloud all day long.”

“Devils rarely have the experience of operating under the midday sun, so they will have a certain stress response to the dazzling sunlight.”

"Especially high-level demons. Some high-level demons will become stronger at night. This is because their ancestors are suspected of possessing the authority of the night."

 “These higher demons will be weakened to a certain extent when exposed to sunlight.”

“I’m not sure yet whether Eisner or his army will be punished by the sun.”

“But demons hate bright light, that’s for sure.”

 Matthew nodded slightly.

 Dealing with the demon army is already a very difficult task.

Now there is an army of tongues, an army of cecum, an army of pancreas...

 Who knows what other organs are queuing up behind you!

 He could only collect intelligence information as much as possible, and then adapt to changes on the battlefield.

 Matthew and Yu Qi chatted for a long time.

  Some gain.

 But not much.

 Mainly because Qin Wuyue's Southern Magic Army was trained according to the template of the Great Wall Magic Army.

 But they only have a lot of theoretical knowledge related to demons.

  There is not enough practical experience.

 According to Yu Qi’s statement.

 The flames on the Eye of Zhurong Formation themselves have the effect of restraining demons.

 But once the demon army became too numerous.

 Secondly, it is unknown whether these flames will be effective on Eisner's tongue.

 In Matthew’s view.

 The most difficult thing about dealing with Eisner's tongue is the quantity.

 Same as the Brazu demon transformed into a herd of beasts.

The number of these tongues is too great.

Looking from the sky, the ground is almost densely covered with them. One more look at them will make your scalp numb.

 The only thing to be thankful for is.

These tongues can only move slowly by peristalsis or small jumps.

 The Tongue Group is still near the Parthian Wasteland.

Want to be near Matthew's cemetery.

 It will take at least a day or two.

 There is still enough room for preparation!

 Before dawn.

Matthew, who was thinking hard about countermeasures, waited for the dusty Viscount Fan to arrive.

 It’s different from the past.

This time, Viscount Fan seemed to be in a hurry.

Matthew showed great joy at the moment when he handed over the demon's soul to him.

 But soon, he seemed a little absent-minded.

Matthew asked him if there was a way to fight the demon lord Eisnar.

Fan Zijue’s reaction was also perfunctory.

However, Matthew still got his wish and exchanged the souls of three thousand demons for the right to use the Sun God Spear.

 In this regard, Fan Zijue is still very generous.

 He gave the Spear of the Sun directly to Matthew and promised to give him 30,000 demon souls within the next year.

Then this sun spear belongs to Matthew.

 Seeing that the other person is worried.

Matthew did not force him to stay.

 After seeing off Viscount Fan, he looked at the attributes of the Sun God Spear, and finally felt a little relieved in his heart——

 No matter from which angle you look at it.

The Sun God Spear has tit-for-tat restraint against demon groups.

 …

“Spear of the Sun God (degraded artifact): The divine fire is currently extinguished, and the person holding the spear will gain the following abilities or spells—

 1. Projectile Specialization +3/Projectile Range +3/Projectile Penetration +50%

  2. If you master the tauren's martial arts, then when holding a spear, all tauren's martial arts will be upgraded to master level.

　　3. Glory of the Sun: The spear emits a strong light, dazzling surrounding enemies and greatly weakening their perception (available 3 times a day)

  4. Tauren Invisibility: Your body emits a ball of light that cannot be looked directly at. Anyone who looks directly at you will suffer severe vision penalties, and may even be permanently blind!

In addition, anyone who attempts to use Wisdom to determine your location suffers Wisdom Reduction and Soul Sear. (Can be used at any time

 …

"Forehead…"

“Blinding everyone makes me invisible?”

 “It is indeed the tauren invisibility technique, I like it...”

Matthew couldn’t put it down and played with the spear in his hand.

It is different from the cool but rough feel of the bamboo stick given by Terraste.

This spear is warm and slippery in your hand, with a very silky and snug feel.

The appearance of the Sun God Spear does not have a sharp and sharp look, but instead has a subtle and restrained beauty.

Both the appearance and attributes are very suitable for Matthew!

 He waved his spear in the cemetery.

 Then he went to the Sanctuary of Life to arrange things - the demons did not dare to enter the oak forest, and the army of tongues did not.

Matthew has always been attentive and would not miss these details.

 Being busy.

 Soon it was broad daylight.

According to Matthew's wishes, the formal founding ceremony should have gone ahead as scheduled the next day.

 But Rhaegar expressed his opposition.

His reasons are quite good -

On the one hand, Rhaegar believed that Matthew was the guardian, chief mage, and great hero of Rolling Stone City. He must be present at the formal ceremony of the founding of the country, otherwise it would be meaningless;

On the other hand, according to the original process, the position of king actually requires Ms. Qin Wuyue to come forward and grant it to Lei Jia on behalf of the alliance's will.

 After all, everyone knows it.

Iondor belongs to the Alliance of Seven Saints, and the king can only be called a king if he is recognized by the alliance.

 But the current situation is that Qin Wuyue cannot come as promised.

 The rest of the people were not very good at conferring the title of King on Rhaegar on behalf of the Alliance.

therefore.

Rhaegar called the representatives of the major city-states early and held a simple witnessing ceremony.

 Compared with the original grand investiture ceremony.

 The witnessing ceremony has naturally been streamlined a lot.

Even so.

The ceremony also attracted many people in the city to watch. The atmosphere was said to be very enthusiastic, especially when Rhaegar gave a speech - according to his own words:

“You don’t know how popular I am!” “I have already restrained my tone during my speech, for fear of arousing everyone’s emotions, but a lot of girls still fainted...”

 These are Rhaegar's exact words when describing the scene of the witnessing ceremony to Matthew.

 And to this.

Zeller’s evaluation may be more objective:

 “The weather is too hot.”

 Lei Jia glared angrily.

But he really couldn't refute it. The sun was blazing in Rolling Stone City in July. Even if he chose a cooler morning, the weather at the end of the ceremony was hot enough to make people dizzy.

noon.

 Everyone gathered in the cemetery to discuss countermeasures against the demon and the army of tongues.

"Those tongues are indeed scary. Fortunately, except for a small number of cavalry and fire bat soldiers, the soldiers in the city have not seen those scary scenes. I have ordered the news to be blocked. It is best not to let ordinary people know about the demon's landing in the short term. …”

Zeller said so.

Matthew nodded slightly. There were so many tongues wriggling on the ground. It was indeed a scene that subverted ordinary people's cognition. It could easily cause confusion. Zeller's handling was reasonable.

 “Can we only defend passively?”

“I mean, is it possible to surprise those portals and kill those abyss mages?”

Rhaegar asked.

Matthew shook his head:

“It’s difficult, not to mention that the Abyss Mages themselves have good combat effectiveness, and they are also protected by professional demon legions.”

“And we currently lack the high-end combat power to perform such tasks, especially legendary mages.”

"Although the defensive strategy is conservative, it is also the safest. I just observed that under the scorching sun, the speed of those tongues is almost halved. At the current speed, they may not be able to reach the front of the cemetery before the sun sets. We There may be an opportunity to push the front a little further north before that, and the trenches I have people digging should also be able to block the tongue. "

Rhaegar touched his chin:

 “How about the fire attack?”

“Oil cans, plus rockets—this is the most common tactic used by the Blood Banner Kingdom when dealing with demons.”

Yu Qi opened his mouth and said:

“Theoretically possible, but do we have enough oil cans and archers to fire rockets?”

Matthew thought for a while:

“Centaur archers can fire rockets.”

"But these tongues are spread too widely, and the open space in the north is too vast. Fire attacks may be able to kill some of the tongues, but there is no way to completely stop them in the north."

 “And is there enough kerosene in Rolling Stone?”

Zeller shook his head and said:

“Not enough. There is currently a serious shortage of oil reserves of any type in the warehouse.”

Rhaegar still refuses to give up:

“Can magic solve this problem?”

“I remember there was a spell called Grease, right?”

Yu Qi smiled bitterly and said:

“Grease spells do exist, but each grease spell that can create a 4-meter by 4-meter square greasy area requires a finger-sized piece of grease as the casting material.”

“Many of the mages in our legion can use the grease spell, but they cannot cast spells without materials and require a large amount of grease.”

“And the casting distance is also a problem. The casting distance of Grease is very close, which means that the casting process will be very dangerous..."

 “What about building a wall of fire?”

Rhaegar continued to think of ideas:

“Can your spell achieve this goal?”

 He looked at Matthew.

Matthew shrugged:

 “Don’t look at me, I’m a necromancer.”

 Lega looked at Yu Qi again.

Yu Qi thought:

"Theoretically it is possible, but it still requires close maintenance, and the northern wasteland is too vast. If you want to build a fire wall that can block most tongues, the fire wall would have to stretch for hundreds of kilometers... This is not something ordinary magic can do. We need to use the power of the ceremonial ground, and the demon army is behind us. They can't just watch us build the ceremonial ground."

“Even if it is built, it can be easily dismantled…”

Rhaegar scratched his head.

The endless plains to the north of Rolling Stone City have indeed become a flaw that is not conducive to the defenders at the moment.

Matthew took advantage of the mobility of the cemetery, coupled with the cover on the left and right of the mossy green hills and oak forests, to barely form a terrain conducive to defense.

Even so.

 The northern part of the cemetery is still open and lacks a protective barrier.

 Everyone discussed it for a while.

 Except for fire.

 They also considered using floods to attack the area.

 But because of the terrain, it is too difficult to operate at a practical level.

finally.

Matthew concluded:

“The current situation is that we can no longer hope to achieve success in one battle.”

“We cannot completely block those tongues from the north. We can only do it in sections and use different defensive strategies.”

“Leave the direction close to the moss-green hills to the Southern Magic Legion. Use the Eye of Zhurong formation, and you can also build one or two fire walls for auxiliary defense.”

“Close to the direction of the oak forest, I will have the Centaur archers ready to tilt the kerosene supplies in the city as far as possible this way to ensure that the direction of the woods will not become a breakthrough for those tongues.”

“Here in the cemetery, I have some cremators that I can call upon. They are not enough to stop all the tongues. The rest can only be overcome by the army of skeletons.”

Matthew’s plan is also a last resort.

 After all, there has never been a city in history surrounded by a bunch of tongues.

 We can only think of solutions on the spot.

　At this moment, everyone nodded.

　　However, Rhaegar hesitated and said:

 “How about I ask Luticia for help?”

“The Blood Banner Kingdom should have a lot of oil cans in stock…”

Matthew looked at him deeply:

"Can try."

 “But take care of yourself.”

Rhaegar immediately straightened his back and wanted to say something.

Just at this time.

Peggy came over with a pile of vegetables:

 “Are you tired after discussing it for so long?”

 “It’s time to eat!”

As she spoke, she put the dishes from the huge dining cart onto the desk in front of everyone:

“This is a new dish I have researched. How do you like it?”

Everyone looked at it carefully and were shocked!

However, on the stacks of white and clean dinner plates, there were fried tongues one by one!

 Some of the tongues may have been fried for insufficient time.

 It was still beating when I took it out from the plate!

Matthew’s face was full of astonishment:

 “Where did you get these?”

Peggy put her hands on her hips:

“I saw them early in the morning, just to the north of the woods. I saw them dancing happily, so I went over and picked up some.”

 “Just tell me, does it taste good?!”

 Matthew was silent.

 He was about to retort, "Is this something edible?!"

Who knew that Rhaegar had already touched the knife and fork!

 “Zizzi!”

He bit off the surface of his tongue, and golden fat particles emerged from it, along with pepper particles and milky white juice dancing on the surface of his tongue—

 “You really don’t say that!”

 “Matthew!”

 “It tastes really good!”

Rhaegar ate so deliciously that others couldn’t help but move their hands.

Matthew looked at the scene where their mouths were full of oil as they ate.

 Suddenly a new way of coping came to mind.

 “Speaking of these tongues…”

“It seems like it’s really edible!”

He thought so.

 …

 Late night.

 The clearing to the north of the oak forest.

 Tongues slowly approached the woods under the moonlight.

Suddenly.

 There was a slight commotion in the woods.

 It didn’t take long.

 A large group of wild ducks flew out with flapping wings!

Those wild ducks were flapping on the ground, pecking crazily at the wriggling tongues on the ground!

These demonic tongues are not small, some are even as big as fists.

However, the fighting ability of wild ducks is also good.

 It didn’t take long.

 The place where the wild ducks passed has become empty.

A sharp whistling sound sounded in the forest.

 At the call of the voice.

The wild ducks fluttered away toward the east along the edge of the forest.

 On the magic carpet in mid-air.

Matthew stood there with a look of surprise on his face.

At this moment, his eyes could see the dark shadows moving in the woods -

 In addition to wild ducks, there are also pheasants, peacocks, and other large and small birds.

 And right in the middle of these dark shadows.

 The upright posture of a larger bird is particularly obvious.

“I didn’t expect that black peacock to be so proud!”

 Matthew was also full of surprises.

None of the bird groups currently active on the north side of the woods are native residents of the oak forest.

It's the partners that the black peacock summoned from all over the world through his own connections!

Most of these birds eat both meat and vegetables.

Especially the larger wild ducks, when they saw their tongues, they rushed forward like crazy.

 Wherever the wild ducks go.

Those tongues that were close to the woods were immediately eaten clean!

 “There should be no need to worry about the Sanctuary of Life…”

 Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

“It is a pity that these animals cannot easily travel too far from the woods, and the number of birds is still too small compared to the overall size of the tongue army.”

“We have to think of another solution for the frontal battlefield on the other side of the cemetery.”

 Then he changed direction and returned to the cemetery.

At this moment, a large number of tongues have appeared on the ground in the north of the cemetery.

These tongues are widely spread out.

They wriggled slowly on the dark ground, like thick worms.

The cremators above the cemetery have begun to throw fireballs below.

The skeleton swordsman in the trench is also lowering his head to scratch his tongue—

 This is not easy for them.

  At the beginning.

 The number of tongues is still relatively rare.

 It can be done gradually.

 Suddenly a large group of densely packed tongues appeared in the night ahead!

Those tongues seemed to come out of nowhere.

Both in terms of number and size, they are much more exaggerated than what Matthew found around the forest before!

 The Firebrer's firepower is obviously not enough to cover all enemies.

 Matthew sat on the magic carpet and sank like water.

These tongues don't seem to have very intuitive destructive power, but if they are allowed to enter Rolling Stone City, they may cause a lot of trouble.

  Matthew is already considering whether to break the contract and wake up Orolin.

 But at this time.

 He suddenly heard Sif's cry.

 She was standing on the top of the cemetery and greeting Matthew.

"How will you be here?"

 Matthew was very surprised.

 Sif put her hands behind her back with a very cute expression:

"Do you need help?"

Matthew instinctively wanted to refuse. He suddenly remembered that Sif was no longer what she used to be, so he asked curiously:

 “Is there anything you can do to stop those tongues?”

 Sif nodded:

“I have some fire-related spells.”

Matthew immediately became interested:

 “Then you try?”

But Sif looked at Matthew seriously:

“My warlock bloodline is not yet stable, so I cannot release spells stably.”

Matthew smelled a hint of conspiracy.

 But he still followed the other person’s words and asked:

"so what?"

 “What do you need from me?”

Sif blushed and nodded:

 “I need a little stimulation.”

Matthew is still asking:

 “What thorn…”

Before he finished speaking, a fragrant wind suddenly hit him, and an extremely soft touch pressed against his lips.

That slender and small tail hooked Matthew's waist and tightly wrapped him towards the girl's chest.

  Long time.

 The two slowly separated.

 Matthew’s eyes were still a little dazed.

 Sif suddenly curled her lips:

 “The excitement is not enough!”

 The next second.

 Her tail tugged forward again.

That soft, beautiful feeling emerged again.

  The difference is.

What awaits Matthew this time is not just soft affection.

There is also a sharp pain...

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifier

Matthew suppressed the pain on his lips.

He could feel Sif's tongue licking the blood seeping out of his lower lip.

that moment.

 Her body became hot!

 …

“Tip: You have activated the blood of Baator in the “Daughter of Purgatory”, and Sif is entering her second form…”

 …
