Lord of War

As a child of the plane, Sean can more or less possess some special perception abilities.

This kind of perception is very subtle, and even Sean himself can't tell what's going on, but once it appears, Sean's mind can instantly wake up to the influence and judgment brought by this perception .

like now.

The surrounding situation still looks like a barren dead land. Whether it is the land or the barren grass and trees, they have lost their vitality due to the erosion of death energy, and there are even signs of undead, just like the one that Sean saw in the Forest of Sighs. Like trees. No matter how you look at it, the situation in front of you is no different from the first province Sean crossed before.

However, Sean could feel the vigor and vitality that still existed in this area.

At least this proves that this area has not completely fallen, and there are still people fighting, struggling, and working hard.

After understanding this, Sean didn't delay any further, but immediately set off on the road.

Following the guidance of his intuition, he quickly rushed in one direction.

A day later, Sean saw a completely destroyed city.

The scale of this city is not comparable to those giant cities that Xiao En saw in the previous province, let alone the wild fortress. However, according to Xiao En's rough judgment, the city can probably maintain a population of around 50,000.

But now, the city has been completely destroyed: no matter whether it is the city wall or other buildings in the city, there is basically no complete preservation. It can be seen from this that when this city faced the attack of the undead army, what a tragic battle took place. Probably because they heard the descriptions of those who escaped from the first province, the residents and defenders in the city also knew the ferocity of the undead army, so they stood here with the belief that they must die.

Xiao En didn't feel the dark atmosphere in the city, so after a little hesitation, he chose to enter the city to find some clues.

Soon, Sean noticed something unusual.

All the cities and towns encountered before were basically forcibly attacked by the undead army with an unstoppable force, and there were few survivors. Even if some survivors escaped by luck, they would not be able to survive in the face of such a large and tireless army of undead. I am afraid that only those who are above the gold level can manage to find them without being surrounded. A glimmer of escape.

But this time is different.

In this almost ruined city, Sean felt unprecedentedly "active".

It was a kind of joy almost like winning a battle.

"We won the battle, but the whole city was still destroyed?" Sean said to himself rather strangely.

But soon, Xiao En realized that this victory-like cheer did not necessarily happen at the moment when the city was destroyed, but should have happened earlier.

For example, when the undead army launched its first attack, it defeated the undead army.

Only in this way can the joy of victory that is enough to be deeply felt and remembered by the earth be able to erupt. Of course, the wars that happened later were still tilting toward the worsening situation. After all, the army of undead was inexhaustible and inexhaustible, and the subsequent offensive launched by the second wave would definitely be more violent. The fourth wave of offensive, and only in this way can the entire city be nearly razed to the ground.

Sean stood up slowly,

Soon after, more traces and clues were discovered.

After the undead army captured the city, they did not continue to advance with unrivaled momentum as before. Instead, they divided into three different tributaries and moved towards the north, west, and northwest.

It can be seen from this that at that time, there should have been many survivors who left here alive after the city was broken, and fled in three directions.

Although this did have the effect of weakening the army of the undead to a certain extent, the same diverted human forces were also weakened, which means that the situation has not changed significantly or improved.

unless……

Xiao En's slightly frowning brows finally relaxed: These guys are still ready!

Compared with the army of the undead, humans, as a side of the intelligent race, have very high flexibility, and can even use some highly targeted measures to fight. Unless the undead army is commanded by a high-level intelligent undead creature, it basically acts according to instinct. The current practice of diverting and chasing humans proves that the opponent has at least a few middle-level undead commanders.

That is, a sixth-order undead creature similar to the bone demon.

After figuring this out, Sean chose a direction and quickly chased after him.

It's been less than a month since the undead disaster broke out, and that's even counting the ten or so days of Sean's journey. Judging from the traces left on the scene, it should have been five to seven days before the undead army breached the fortress. Those human survivors have all become of the same kind.

But looking at those human survivors who dared to divert and flee, they must have some special means and backhands, which made Sean a little more confident in the survival of these people.

Chasing up quickly along the clues, Sean barely made any stops or rests.

His speed is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Maybe others have fled for four or five days, but for Xiao En, it is only a day's journey. So when Sean saw a city in the distance still flickering with flames, he knew that the human survivors who fled in this direction were likely to have survived.

Just looking at the situation of the city ahead, it is obvious that the situation is not easy at this time, and it is only a matter of time before it is breached.

At this time, Sean did not immediately step forward to rescue, but sat on the spot to rest and eat.

The rush for several days in a row is not too exhausting for Xiao En. Although the combat power has not dropped much, but in this kind of rescue battle that is close to a war situation, if he cannot maintain the peak state, then It is easy to fall into exhaustion because of falling into the encirclement.

This is not what Sean wants.

Moreover, Xiao En could see that the city would not fall completely for a while, so naturally he would not act blindly. Of course, it is certain that the casualties will increase, but Sean does not have the idea of ​​risking his life to save these people, so of course he must be fully prepared before making a move.

But just as Sean was recovering his strength quickly, an electronic sound suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Special task node detected."

"Judging..."

"The task has been activated."

"Special Mission: Savior."

"Mission Requirement: Rescue Human Beings in Distress."

"Mission description: Hagens City is currently in a state of isolation and helplessness. Although they have repelled three waves of attacks from the undead army, they have also paid a very heavy price. Judging from the current situation , They may only last one more day, so they desperately hope that there is a savior who can save them from the current danger."

"Task Reward: Unknown."

"Punishment for failure: Forcibly erase a prop on the body, and be in a bad luck state for seventy-two hours."

"Special mission restrictions: If you do not enter the combat state within one hour and are discovered by the guards of Hagens City, it will be judged as a mission failure."

Hearing the notification tone from the system, Sean immediately cursed.

It's not that he hasn't encountered the situation of cheating in this system before, but this is really the first time Xiao En has encountered such a cheating thing like now.

At this moment, he really regretted coming here a little bit.

Originally, Sean's idea was very simple, nothing more than finding some living people, and then to get clues about Hassas. After all, no matter whether Hassas is dead or alive, he still needs to get a definite answer, so that Sean can better plan the next step. And besides that, the main purpose of Sean's action this time was not on Hassas, but in a single-player adventure copy.

Back in the game, Sean heard people talking about this dungeon legend on the forum, but because the dungeon was quite difficult, and the pre-quests were cumbersome and unique, it was rated as extremely difficult to clear. Naturally, they will not be stingy in terms of rewards. At least some people are very satisfied with the rewards they get after putting in a lot of effort. , guessing that the other party bought an extremely powerful follower.

The so-called entourage is the guard.

And what Sean lacked the most at the moment was naturally a guard.

No matter what type of guard it is, as long as its strength can reach above the sanctuary, it will be a help to Xiao En at present.

But I didn't expect that because of a momentary thought, this meeting would be involved in an extremely complicated task.

Exhaling lightly, Xiao En reluctantly took out the Black King. Now that things have become like this, he naturally has nothing to back down.

The next moment, Sean stepped forward and charged.

In the beginning, it was just a step-by-step sprint, and then it quickly became that each step could advance more than ten meters. With the startling momentum bursting out from his body, Xiao En's charge soon became like a star. Like the fired shells, they rushed over at an astonishing speed that cut through the air. And the surrounding space even faintly began to vibrate with Xiao En's sprint.

Soon, the guards who were fighting on the city wall found Xiao En.

There is no way, the powerful aura erupted by the powerhouses in the sanctuary with all their strength cannot be concealed at all. Especially after Xiao En stepped into the sanctuary, the two law powers that Xiao En came into contact with were the two high-ranking laws of space and time, and the momentum that resonated with them was even more terrifying.

When Xiao En rushed into the camp of these undead army, within a radius of three meters with Xiao En as the core, all the undead creatures instantly seemed to have encountered some extremely sharp and terrifying attack, and they were all cut into countless pieces. Even the soul fires in their bodies were completely extinguished by this abnormal force of distortion, and they could not be rebuilt at all.

Cutting force field.

This is a semi-finished domain that Xiao En explored through the power of the law of space when he was attacking the realm of the upper sanctuary.

This field has not yet been recognized by the system, so Sean is not very clear about the specific functional capabilities. Unlike his idle field, all functional effects are already very obvious. Therefore, this semi-finished field derived from the power of the law of space can only be used by Sean in this kind of place. Even if it is in a situation where there are many people in the melee, Sean dare not use it.

There is no other reason. The current field of cutting force field is not like [Waste], which can distinguish between the enemy and the friend according to Xiao En's will. It is purely a field that does not distinguish between the enemy and the friend.

However, when used in the current battle to break through the blockade, it seems to complement each other.

It seems that they did not expect the enemy to have such a strong reinforcement, and the attack of the undead army quickly stalled.

At this time, the disadvantages of lacking command of high-level intelligent undead creatures completely broke out.

Those commander-type undead creatures of the fifth or sixth rank obviously didn't know how to deal with the current situation, so the command orders from different subordinates lost their unified mobilization, and a chaos soon spread among this undead army. It spread in the middle: the undead who had climbed the city wall ahead and were trying to attack the city received the order to besiege Xiao En, so they began to turn around one after another, regardless of the broken city wall section that was obviously about to be taken.

However, the undead creatures in the middle did not receive the order to besiege Xiao En, they were still faithfully carrying out the order to attack the city wall, and even the fire of desire for flesh and blood was still burning in their empty eye sockets. In this way, the undead creatures that were turning around in front of them were naturally blocked, and the two sides instantly became parts that interfered with each other—although the undead army had no formation at all, but such internal chaos and conflicts, It still makes the formation of this army of undead spread wider.

And the confusion doesn't stop there.

Immediately after receiving the order, some skeleton archers began to lock the main attack target on Sean, and then shot the arrows in their hands one after another.

But Sean's speed was too fast, and these arrows naturally fell behind Sean without exception.

Although Xiao En's range of influence that can be strangled is six meters in diameter, there are still a large number of other undead creatures around, such as zombies, walking corpses, zombies and other corpse-like undead creatures. They are no more than skeletons, even if they are shot by arrows, they don't feel anything, and they will bounce off. These corpse-like undead creatures were quickly wiped out by the attacks from the undead army's own people, which invisibly relieved the pressure on the defenders in the city.

After discovering this, it was naturally even more impossible for Sean to run directly to the city wall.

He is very aware of his own situation, this cutting force field is not a domain, and the current consumption of his spirit is not small, even if he is attacking the upper sanctuary realm, he can't last long. So soon Xiao En had an idea in his heart: he wanted to create more chaos while the force field was still there, and single out those undead commanders to attack, as long as the number of these undead commanders was eliminated even by only three One of them is enough to cause even greater chaos in this undead army.

At that time, it will be easier to eliminate these undead creatures.

This point is as simple as the follow-up cleaning work in the wild fortress.
