Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 85

More than half an hour has passed since the elite team broke through the sentry tower.

Upstream of the underground river, thousands of meters away from the imperial army.

The necromancer cargo ship sailed from the hinterland of the necromancer sect with an aura of death and decay.

Carrying heavy loads, they pass across the river like iron plows, sweeping the foul-smelling river to both banks.

Where the cargo ship passed, the river rose significantly, and the cargo on board was extremely heavy.

These cargo ships are composed of rotten wood and rusty iron nails, covered with dark green moss and greasy sludge, like a sunken ship that has been sleeping on the seabed for hundreds of years.

But it is such a ship that seems to be falling apart at any time, sailing steadily for a long time amidst the creaking sound of wood deformation, and has never encountered any accidents such as water leakage, tilting, or breaking down.

There is no doubt that the death rune is protecting them.

On the deck and cabin of the cargo ship, there are a large number of black marks, which are exactly the necromantic runes written by the necromancer priest.

Undead always like to use this kind of profane power to protect their magic devices and important facilities.

They are definitely going to be planted today.

Because these cargo ships cannot activate the magic protective cover when they are sailing, otherwise the navigation of the ship will be disturbed due to the magical reaction between the river water and the protective cover.

Another reason why this fleet must be sunk today is that they are completely unaware of the crisis on the shore and in the river.

The ruins of the sentry tower were pushed into the underground river by the imperial army, piled up on the river bed, and built a barrier jutting out of the water.

And on the shore where the poisonous fog drifted, a whole 10 full squadrons were lurking here.

They used gray worm obstacles to build temporary barriers, built a fierce interception line, and supplemented it with camouflage paint to cover up their whereabouts.

In this line that merged with the river bank, hundreds of large-caliber gun barrels pointed at the river surface of the floating wreckage.

Li Nuo personally participated in this interception mission, and was also equipped with a light machine gun using biochemical warheads.

He was not treated this way.

But ever since he realized that team fighting and tail-snatching were the real usages of deconstruction, he had the cheek to find Lieutenant Slack, and bluntly proposed that he wanted to control a light machine gun.

This is roughly what he told Lieutenant Slack:

sir. I don't know when I will die in the death storm. As an imperial man, I dream of feeling the thrill of holding a light machine gun and shooting the enemy with the roar of gunfire. Can you assign me a light machine gun and three privates to help me change the ammunition belt and water tank.

After thinking for a while, Lieutenant Slack readily agreed.

This may be a compromise made by Lieutenant Slack after realizing Li Nuo's value.

Li Nuo didn't think about it so much, he only thought about how to grab the tail knife.

"Everyone goes into silence...our enemy is coming."

Lieutenant Slack ordered by gesture.

The imperial army fell silent.

All the military barriers disguised as rocks are silent.

All the armies greeted the long-awaited ghost fleet with silence and watching.

The entire interception operation had only one fatal flaw:

That is the sentry tower that disappeared from the shore.

The Necromancer fleet must have a route map for the underground canal.

If they found that the place where the sentry tower should have been turned into an open space, they would definitely sound the alarm immediately.

Don't worry about this, though.

In order to stop this undead fleet that riots in the tomb will occur wherever it goes, the Vaders army invested a lot of people, ammunition and explosives regardless of the cost.

The moment the Necromancer fleet discovered that the sentry towers had disappeared, bullets and bombs had already descended on them.

"Wow~wow~"

The river surged, the river rose, and the river lapped on the bank.

Li Nuo raised his head and looked at the approaching undead cargo ship.

A series of deconstruction techniques were thrown out by him, sweeping all the cargo ships within the field of vision.

The fleet consisted of six ships.

The first ship and the last ship are fully armed combat ships, transporting a little magic stone along the way.

The four ships in the middle are pure cargo ships, with only ordinary undead crew and cargo on them, without decent defense forces.

The Tomb Corpse is the coolie on the ship.

The Ghost Crew is the helmsman and sailor who steers the oars and mast.

The skeletal skulls that hang from the ship's sides and watchtowers are from hapless skeleton soldiers who serve as lookouts for ships.

Whether it is a combat ship or a cargo ship, there are two sources of power for them.

One is river water.

In the windless underground space, undead ships can only travel with the current.

Another source of power is the huge leg bones protruding from the bottom of the boat.

These leg bones are about 20 meters long, and there are four in each cargo ship.

The leg bones stepped on the river bed and "carried" the cargo ship to walk, which not only accelerated the speed of the ship, but also shared the weight of the cargo, so that the cargo ship would not be crushed by the piles of death stones.

What attracted Li Nuo's attention the most were the Necromancer monks and Necromancer priests standing on the battleships.

These guys all have the strength comparable to the first-order "Imperial Fist", and they will definitely make a lot of noise if they are ruthless.

But again, no need to worry about their existence.

Because the Vidas army has placed a full 30 elite fighters, 6 second lieutenants and 1 lieutenant in the interception front.

This is an unequal battle. The strength of the empire is extremely strong, and it is always in a state of concealment, never alarming the undead.

"Attention, Jarvis, our target ship is coming."

Sergeant Marrs was holding an ammunition chain in his hand, ready to reload Li Nuo at all times.

He pointed to the fifth last ship in the fleet.

The Imperial Army will divide the six ships into three.

Their first trump card was the mines buried under the river.

"Toot~" The leading combat ship noticed the disappearing sentry tower, and a loud horn sounded from the ship.

At the same time, Lieutenant Slack raised his arm and gave orders:

"Detonation!"

All the sergeants received the commander's order and pressed the detonator in front of them without hesitation.

In an instant, more than a dozen water jets rose from the long river and went straight to the ceiling.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A series of explosions resounded through the underground space, setting off huge waves on the river.

When the mine detonated, the impact of the explosion stirred the river water, tearing the river bank, and the river flowed back to the bank.

The flow rate of the river became unstable, and the river bed was blasted into deep and shallow pits.

The huge leg bones at the bottom of the undead ship did not survive the explosion.

Their joints were pulled by the turbulent river water, and their legs and feet were suddenly unstable. One accidentally stepped into the pit caused by the mine and lost its center of gravity.

These huge leg bones are connected to the cabin, and they can move the whole body with a single pull. When the ship is pulled by the leg bones, the ship's hull tilts and tilts.

"Boom..Boom"

Several more explosions came from the underground river, but it was not the imperial army that detonated the mine again, but the ship lost control and hit the shore.

The hull of the ship crushed the fragile river bank, and the whole body fell to the ground.

The sound of rolling hard objects sounded in the cargo hold, and a large number of death magic stones hit the wall.

There are several walls that are extremely fragile. They were overwhelmed after being hit by tons of death stones, and Kucha broke his mouth.

Rough death stones tumbled from breaches in the walls, dumped on the banks, or fell into the foul-smelling waters.

Such a series of earth-shattering changes all happened in just 20 seconds.

By the time the undead creatures on the ship yelled and launched a counterattack, all six undead ships had already run aground on the shore.

"Fire! Fire! Annihilate these filthy bastards!"

Lieutenant Slack roared and pulled the trigger of the light machine gun first.

All of a sudden, there were 270 tongues of fire on the underground river bank!

Every tongue of flame spouting a torrent of bullets corresponds to a light machine gun!

In the past 1 second, dense bullet holes appeared on the hulls of all the undead ships!

The Necromancer fleet didn't even have time to activate the magic shield!

The appearance of dense bullet holes undoubtedly destroyed the undead runes on the cabin.

Those rotten, decaying hulls that should have been decomposed by the mighty forces of nature have finally ushered in their end.

As the runes were destroyed, the rotten wood on the hull quickly withered, turning into black mud and falling into the river.

Rusty iron nails dropped iron filings, turning into black gravel and sinking to the bottom of the river.

Whether it is the death stone, the terrifying tomb soldiers and the ghost crew, when the ship withers, the torrent of bullets penetrates the body, instantly loses "life", and sinks with the rotting hull.

Only Necromancer monks and Necromancer priests who possess extraordinary powers can survive the disaster of sinking ships.

However, they all lead to a dead end.

The Crypt Evil Spider, a mid-level undead unit that once chased Li Nuo away, only lasted for three seconds under the concentrated artillery fire of the fort giant before being blasted into waste by the artillery fire and sank to the bottom of the water.

The Frost Skeleton Mage drew water from the river, and only lasted for two seconds at the dirty wall of ice around him.

Within 0.1 seconds after the bullet pierced through the ice wall, its skeletal body, its skull, and everything about it disappeared in the howling bullet wind—except for the magic heart.

Spiritual undead creatures are immune to physical attacks. Is this feature useful in this battle?

Useless!

All spirit-type undead units received special "preferential treatment" from the empire.

The dragon's breath bullet filled with liquid explosives, the lightning bullet that burst out with lightning after the collision, and the bee jelly bullet filled with biochemical bee jelly.

These special bullets, which are far more expensive than ordinary bullets, no matter whether they are useful or not, they all greet the spirit-like undead units.

The ghost crew held on for half a second.

The ghost mate and the captain held on for two seconds.

The wailing banshee with disheveled hair persisted for three seconds.

Holding a sickle, wearing a cloak, and being able to protect his whole body with a "magic shield", the Death Skeleton Mage only lasted for five seconds.

A few undead Extraordinary escaped the barrage by luck, and could not escape the hunting of the elite team.

Lieutenant Slack turned into a giant of molten steel, and used the lava rays shot out from the furnace in his abdomen to detonate the heads of several middle-level undead creatures.

The artillery of the heavy artillery giant is even more invincible.

Transferring this kind of powerful cannonball, which is specially used to hit the magic shield, to hit the undead Extraordinary, it will be a hit.

When the last undead creature fell down, the entire underground river was filled with gunpowder smoke and dust, and the echoes of countless guns echoed in the underground space, which could not stop for a long time.

This is a battle of guns over the undead.

The empire invested more than 200 light machine guns, millions of conventional bullets, hundreds of thousands of special bullets, and at least 300 bee jelly bombs.

The participants included 10 squadrons of the Vidas army, about 3,000 ordinary soldiers, and at least 40 extraordinary soldiers.

Is such a huge investment just to stop a fleet of dead souls, is it worth it?

The answer is obvious.

worth!

Those rough death stones that rolled down on the river bank and sank to the bottom of the river were the most direct result of this battle.

These raw death stones alone are enough to cover the battle expenses.

Not to mention the advantage that intercepting a fleet full of ore can create for the legions fighting in the Blade's Edge Mountains.

No matter what the Necromancer wants to do in the Blade's Edge Mountains, or why the Necromancer is so anxious to transport a large number of death stones to the Blade's Edge Mountains.

Anyway, this batch of death stones, the Colabo Legion will definitely eat it!

"Everyone act according to the plan!"

Lieutenant Slack held up the loudspeaker and said loudly amidst the excited shouts of the soldiers on the scene:

"Our battle is not over yet! These ores must be sent to the Legion Fortress as soon as possible! Everyone obeys orders! Clean up the battlefield immediately!"

Lieutenant Slack yelled several times in a row, and finally managed to control the restless soldiers.

It is not that the soldiers were dazzled by victory and lost their discipline.

It was because the previous battle was too intense.

More than 200 light machine guns and the noise of more than 2,000 rifles, it is already very good that the soldiers were not stunned.

Anyway, Li Nuo plucked his ears several times, and finally heard Lieutenant Slack's shout amidst the ringing of tinkling bells.

To be honest, this battle is definitely the most enjoyable battle that Li Nuo has experienced since time travel.

On top of that, hitting undead mobs with a light machine gun also triggers passive deconstruction!

At that moment just now, Li Nuo received a lot of system messages.

While picking out his ears, he went to pick up the death stone, while flipping through the system information in his mind.

After carefully reading the text, Li Nuo felt a little embarrassed.

Due to the poor accuracy of the light machine gun and the fact that it was the first time for Li Nuo to operate this thing, the previous busy work was very lively and exciting, but in fact he only managed to get two kills.

However, this is enough!

[You used a light machine gun to cause fatal damage to the "Crypt Evil Spider"! 】

[You successfully killed a "Crypt Evil Spider"! 】

[Activate passive deconstruction! 】

[You unlocked the general panel of "Crypt Evil Spider". 】

[You recovered 1400 energy points! 】

1,400 energy points!

Li Nuo has been used to being poor since he traveled to this borderland of misery, and he has never seen so much energy!

This is just one of the gains.

[You successfully killed a "Frost Skeleton Mage"! 】

[Activate passive deconstruction! 】

[You have obtained the panel information of "Frost Skeleton Mage". 】

[You recovered 1800 energy points! 】

The energy value inventory suddenly rose to 3213 points!

Just like a dream!

Li Nuo wanted to pinch himself fiercely on his thigh to see if he was sleepwalking.

This feeling of getting rich overnight is really too illusory and ethereal.

Li Nuo took the opportunity to bend down to pick up the death stone, and took a few breaths before he finally calmed down and accepted the fact that he had transformed into a "rich man".

He brought up the panels of the Crypt Evil Spider and the Death Skeleton Mage, and simply flipped through them, his eyes flashed with enlightenment.

"It turns out that the Extraordinary system of the Necromancer sect looks like this..."

Li Nuo muttered to himself.

To put it simply, the extraordinary abilities of mid-level undead creatures come from precious magic materials.

In the body of the Crypt Evil Spider, there is a magical material called "The Split Heart of the Crypt Spider Mother".

The Crypt Spider Mother is the head of the Necromancy Sect and the Resentment faction, and is the bishop of the faction.

The Crypt Spidermother will regularly take out the split hearts she conceived and hand them over to her priests for use.

Ordinary undead creatures will transform into Extraordinary after receiving this magic material, mastering part of the Extraordinary abilities from the Crypt Spider Mother.

Similarly, the extraordinary ability of the Frost Skeleton Mage also comes from the leader of a certain Necromancer faction.

This faction is called the "foolish faction".

Its head is the "Frost Demon Bone".

Frost Demon Bone will transform the organs of undead creatures into magical organs with "Frost Energy Source".

The spellcasting ability of the Frost Skeleton Mage comes from this magic organ.

The magic material in the eyes of the Necromancer is exactly the mutation material in the eyes of the MI3 of the Tatis Empire.

The lieutenants of the empire who mastered all kinds of extraordinary abilities used these mutation materials as medicine to induce them to gain extraordinary abilities through controllable mutations.

In the imperial army, this information should only be grasped by people at the rank of lieutenant officer.

Li Nuo turned off the system interface and looked at the scene carefully.

Unsurprisingly, Lieutenant Slack and his ensigns had no interest in the Death Stone.

Their attention was all on the magic materials burst out by the Necromancer crew.

The smiles at the corners of their mouths, no matter how they tried to hide them, were still keenly noticed by Li Nuo.

Li Nuo glanced around, his eyes fixed on a magical heart that was wantonly cold.

He threw the deconstruction technique, read the feedback information of the deconstruction technique for a while, and then shook his head regretfully.

This magic heart will indeed bring extraordinary abilities of the frost system.

It sounds beautiful, but it is actually dangerous.

Similar to the deconstruction of "The Ten Commandments of Martyrdom: General Outline", the system provides two deconstruction methods: conventional deconstruction and harmless deconstruction.

Routine deconstruction of the magic heart will be contaminated with the spiritual pollution of the Necromancer sect, distorting one's own heart and thinking.

Harmless deconstruction can avoid this negative effect, but it needs to invest more than 30,000 energy points...

Li Nuo looked at the lieutenants at the scene again, narrowing his eyes slightly.

There is no sign of corruption in these lieutenants.

It seems that MI3 has found a way to solve the negative effects of mutant materials without eating for nothing all these years.

Among them, huge manpower, financial resources, and material resources must be invested, and it is not impossible for some people to die because of it.

If MI3 and the Emperor know that deconstructing the core system only needs to consume 30,000 energy points, and they can obtain their decades of research results...

Then they must be crazy about deconstructing the core system.

On the one hand, it is years of hard research, and on the other hand, it is pure energy value investment. Compared with the two, the awesomeness of deconstructing the core system is undoubtedly highlighted.

Now Li Nuo has fully realized how much energy deconstructing the core system has in terms of research.

It is comparable to the existence of researchers in a country.

…

"How should I spend the more than 3,200 energy points in my hand?"

Li Nuo picked up the death stone in silence, silently thinking about how to consume energy.

In theory, he has two good ways to spend stamina.

The first way to consume is to upgrade the existing skills.

"Death", "Magic Shield", "Fear".

One attack, one defense, one control.

These three skills are directly related to personal combat power, and the priority of upgrading is very high. Putting energy into these three skills is definitely not a loss.

The second way of consumption is to harmlessly deconstruct the "Ten Commandments of Martyrdom General Outline" to gain more death-related extraordinary knowledge and spells.

With 3000 points of energy, the amount of things that can be deconstructed must be dazzling.

But specific benefits are hard to predict.

There may be a situation of "chewing too much":

Deconstructing many things that are temporarily useless, such as "Death Art Grand View".

It may also be a case of "too many skills to overwhelm the body":

All of a sudden, Li Nuo was provided with a lot of death spells, filling his spell list to the brim.

No matter what the situation is, it is a bit too focused on long-term interests, ignoring the short-term increase in combat power.

Li Nuosi thought about it and came to a conclusion.

Upgrade the skills that should be upgraded first.

Wait until the cost-effectiveness of upgrading skills decreases, and then harmlessly deconstruct "The Ten Commandments of Martyrdom General Outline".

Li Nuo called up the personal panel and focused on the spell entry.

Just as he was about to upgrade his skills, a sound of footsteps came from behind him.

Li Nuo temporarily suppressed the upgrade operation in his mind, and turned to look over.

But Sergeant Mars ran over anxiously, holding a copper whistle in his hand.

"Jarvis, come with me." Sergeant Marrs said in a low voice with a serious expression on his face:

"Captain Murphy needs your help, it's urgent."

"Okay, lead the way, sir."

The two trotted forward.

The guards under Lieutenant Slack got the news in advance and did not stop them from leaving.

Far from the shore, close to the underground passage, Mars stopped and raised his hand towards the dark place to salute.

A slim figure stepped out of the shadows.

It was Captain Murphya, holding the metal box in which the "Bone Elder Wand" was placed in her hand.

"Mars, you go back first and continue to follow Lieutenant Slack on missions. Jarvis, you stay."

"Yes, sir." Myers turned and ran away.

Only Li Nuo and Murphy were left at the scene.

"Report to you, sir, what do you need me to do?" Li Nuo raised his hand and saluted.

Murphia waved at him, signaling him to follow her.

The two walked another distance away from the army, and finally stopped in the dark where no one noticed.

Captain Murphya wore a hood, covered his face with a mask and hanging hair, and still had that cool look.

But there was an unexpected sense of anxiety in her words:

"Jarvis, quickly help me remove the magic shield protecting the wand. The people from MI2 have been tracking the breath of the magic shield. I have to solve this problem as soon as possible, or they will catch up to me sooner or later!"

Phew.. Well, you are here to ask me for help again..

Li Nuo settled his mind and nodded.

"Okay, sir, I'll do my best."
