Lord of War

The black sword shadows scattered all over the sky. It was obviously just a long sword, but in Xiao En's hand, it opened and closed as if waving an epee.

All undead creatures, whether they are skeletons or zombies, or even the black warriors and undead warriors among them, basically as long as they are touched by this sword light, even if they are not dismembered on the spot, they will definitely lose everything Mobility, not to mention combat ability.

Seeing Xiao En, who was like a god descending, the people in the city immediately let out a cheer of excitement, and immediately launched a counterattack.

Those who dare to stand on the city wall to resist the invasion of the undead army naturally no longer fear death.

Because they are very clear that in the face of the attack of the undead army, there is no concept of surrender at all. These undead will only make them into the same kind, and then kill more humans. Therefore, in the face of the attack of the undead army, there is no other choice but to fight desperately. Therefore, as long as two or three undead can be completely destroyed, even if they are turned into undead after death, it will still be a weakening for the undead army. Maybe it can help future generations.

However, although this idea is very beautiful, the cruel reality often makes them feel desperate and collapsed.

Basically, only regular troops who have reached the third level can exchange one for two or three. Like the second-level army, one change is basically the limit, let alone the first-level level of recruits and ordinary civilians who basically have no combat capabilities.

In a city with a population of 50,000, the regular garrison is generally maintained between 5,000 and 10,000 people, and the level of combat power is about two to three.

Counting the faith support of the death battle, it is generally possible to fight off an army of 20,000 to 30,000 undead. Of course, this loss rate is based on the premise that the undead army is basically composed of cannon fodder or low-level undead. If it is composed of a real elite and mid-level undead army, it can cause about 10,000 battle losses. Not bad.

But for the undead army, this kind of battle damage can be ignored at all.

A city with a population of 50,000 is the material for 50,000 corpses for the undead army, which means that 50,000 new undead cannon fodder can be formed. Even if some special techniques are used for compression production, generally 20,000 to 30,000 more advanced materials can be harvested.

Therefore, for the army of the undead, it is equivalent to no loss at all—in other words, exchanging 20,000 to 30,000 cannon fodder for 20,000 to 30,000 more advanced corpse materials, the deal is actually earned by the army of the undead.

After all, for the undead army, as long as they have enough materials, they can piece together more powerful undead creatures.

However, this kind of war situation can only be limited to the small fights of low-level undead.

If an extremely powerful person like Xiao En intervenes in a battle, the situation will soon be completely reversed. Usually, an army of undead will not fight a city with such a strong man in the absence of commanding high-level undead creatures, because this will make the army of undead not worth the loss—every time the tide of death breaks out, The reason why the undead army chose to invade the most densely populated area was to create more materials to expand the disaster situation.

This is also the reason why Perseus was able to block the eruption of the death tide at a very small cost in the later stage: he invested many strong men in every densely populated area,

Even the use of elite legions whose combat power generally exceeds the level of the undead army, in order to completely kill these dangers before the undead army grows up.

At this time, Sean's appearance played a crucial role.

When his space cutting force field officially ended, he had already eliminated more than one-third of the commanders of this undead army, completely spreading the undead army's chaos. Although two-thirds of the undead commanders are still in control, the chaos is completely unavoidable. Coupled with the brave counterattacks of the defending soldiers, this undead army is even more chaotic. get bigger.

The scale of victory has already begun to tilt since the moment Sean rushed into this army of undead.

But even if he was as strong as Sean, he couldn't completely annihilate this army of undead with a size of at least 50,000 or more by himself. If it is said that his strength has reached the level of legend, then facing this army of undead, which is roughly equivalent to the third or fourth level of combat power, he can naturally destroy it easily, but it is a pity that Xiao En's strength has not yet reached this level.

Therefore, to block 20,000 skeletons and cannon fodder undead with one person's power already requires almost all of his strength.

Even though these skeleton cannon fodder were basically killed by him one by one, his physical energy was also rapidly depleted.

Before stepping into the legend, although the strong in the sanctuary can use the power of laws to fight, in the final analysis, they are only borrowed. These laws do not belong to the strong in the sanctuary themselves, so naturally they cannot use the power of the laws to quickly recover physical fitness. The reason why legendary powerhouses have stronger combat capabilities than sanctuary powerhouses is that apart from being able to modify the manifestation of laws within their own domain, more part of it is that the laws are already part of their own composition, so They can borrow the power of the law to quickly recover their physical fitness, so as to support longer battles.

As for the sixteenth-order superpowers, one sentence can explain their strength: the law is him, and he is the law.

This is the origin of the saying "Only the super strong can deal with the super strong".

As for the strengths and weaknesses of superpowers, only people in their field understand.

Fortunately, the defenders in the city did not shrink back and dare not fight back. Otherwise, Sean would really have to consider another way of fighting—the mission constraints made it impossible for Sean to choose to retreat completely. Generally, when encountering this kind of siege-like battle situation, even if the strong in the sanctuary cannot be defeated, they will not die here, but will withdraw and leave before the encirclement is completely closed, and then continue to fight by harassment or sneak attack, avoiding as much as possible. Encountered too much sniper-style combat.

But unfortunately, Sean's mission time is limited, and the purpose of the mission is also very clear, so he has no way to slowly deal with these undead creatures.

Seemingly infected by Sean's equally fearless and frenzied attack, more and more people began to join the battle, including some ordinary civilians who were completely incapable of fighting in peacetime.

With horse forks and rakes, and even some long sticks, they also launched a counterattack.

Of course, these people are very aware of their own abilities, and they are still a little afraid of these undead creatures instinctively, so they did not rush behind the undead army like those regular soldiers, but relied on a section that had collapsed to reveal a gap. He dragged down a small number of zombies in a chaotic state, and then used the tools in his hand to dismember them.

As for skeleton soldiers and the like, although there is no way to solve them by dismembering corpses, as residents who dare to resist the dead guard, and are not too unfamiliar with the undead creatures of the death tide, they still have some fighting methods. Although it wasn't as easy to deal with as zombies and walking dead, at least it didn't make them feel completely irresistible.

It was because of the actions of these soldiers and residents that Xiao En's pressure began to gradually weaken, and he even had a little more energy to start paying attention to the overall situation of the battle, giving some assistance to those soldiers who accidentally fell into the siege of death, and let them Avoid the fate of being killed as material. In this way, it greatly boosted everyone's mood, making their counterattack and fighting more violent.

This battle, which has been going on for an unknown amount of time, finally ushered in the real dawn three hours after Sean joined the battle.

All the undead commanders have basically been solved by Sean, and lost the dispatch and control of these undead commanders. Except for some of these undead commanders who still maintain the last order and are still attacking the target, a large number of other undead But it has already begun to act according to instinct.

The instinct of the undead is the desire for the flesh and blood of the living.

They will recklessly attack all living beings within sight, and then devour their flesh and soul. Some special undead creatures have their own special effects. For example, zombies will assimilate the dead into lower-level walking corpses, while ghouls will turn the bitten dead into zombies or corpse slaves. Individuals are more powerful will be changed into ghouls and so on.

As for the most common skeleton type, it needs the assistance of the necromancer, and this part tests the level and strength of the necromancer itself.

However, because of the loss of control and restraint, the undead who only pursue instinct will become more terrifying. They generally do not cause conflicts or obstacles. Such a wave of undead will be more terrifying to ordinary people. It's just that in this case, very few materials can be preserved, and basically they will become food for this tide of undead. Commanders are arranged in the undead army to restrict them.

It's just that the situation that is more dangerous for ordinary people is much easier for Xiao En.

He no longer needs to deal with the undead's cooperative attack methods. After losing control, the threat of the undead will certainly increase, but their attack actions will also become much more monotonous. Especially the low-level undead with only the second and third ranks. Any regular army soldier can easily deal with them in one-on-one battles, let alone silver-level masters.

So this is the real dawn of hope for the defenders in the city to see victory!

The battle will soon be officially over.

Unlike the previous situation where they only repelled the army of the undead, this time they really wiped out the entire army of the undead.

Whether it was the defenders in the city or the civilians, all of them had expressions of disbelief on their faces. After a long time, there was an extremely excited cheer, which was accompanied by a lot of weeping, and many people looked relieved.

Sean leaned on the sword and panted slightly. The battle just now was very exhausting for him, and he almost couldn't hold it anymore.

Several guards quickly surrounded a muscular middle-aged man and walked towards Sean.

"Thank you very much for your help." The muscular middle-aged man said with a sincere face, "If it weren't for you today, I'm afraid we won't be able to see the sun tomorrow. I don't know how to call you ? But the reinforcements sent by the empire?"

Shawn shook his head, then said in a deep voice, "No, I just passed by here to find someone."

The muscular middle-aged man showed a bit of disappointment on his face, but he quickly smiled again: "However, thank you very much for your assistance."

Seeing that Xiao En didn't intend to reveal his name, the middle-aged man tacitly stopped mentioning it.

The strength of the middle-aged man in front of him is only low-rank gold, and the other guard soldiers are basically only bronze-level, and some of them should be similar to captains, but they have the strength of low-rank silver, but that's all. As for some adventurers and mercenaries who have the ability to fight, they are also hovering between silver and gold. As far as Xiao En has seen so far, there are only three people with gold-level strength, and there are more than fifty silver-level people. They are all in the bronze realm.

At this level, it is extremely unrealistic to resist a 50,000-strong undead army. If Xiao En hadn't acted, it would be impossible for them to see the sun the next day.

Sean glanced at it, and after getting a general understanding of the situation, he stopped continuing this topic, but told some about Hassas to find out about Hassas' whereabouts.

But it's a pity that people in this city have never seen Hassas, even those who fled from the previous small town don't have much impression, which makes Sean frown slightly.

To be honest, Sean didn't want Hassas to die like this, after all, Sean had invested a lot in him. If Hassas died like this, it would not be of any benefit to the future Void Empire, but under the general trend of undead disasters, some things naturally cannot be guaranteed.

And through communicating with this middle-aged man, Sean also roughly understood some of the current situation in this southern province.

The small city in front had indeed resisted the army of the undead for a long time. It was not until the entire south city wall was completely destroyed that the residents and soldiers in the city began to choose to retreat in an orderly manner. Under the protection of some soldiers and guards, the two relatively weak residents withdrew to the west and north respectively. The small town in front of us was formed by the gathering of villages, towns and villages in the west of the province and the retreating flow of people.

Of course, the process of retreat was not smooth sailing. Many brave soldiers died on this road, and the flow of people who could finally retreat to the city was only one-tenth of that when they fled. And the army of undead that was solved with the assistance of Xiao En just now is the scale that was finally formed through continuous encroachment along the way, but because of the lack of high-level undead creatures to sit in, it will fight against people in small towns. It was a confrontation that lasted several days.

And the undead army, as Sean expected, did send some high-level undead creatures to sit in command.

It's just that in the previous offensive and defensive battle in that small city, several high-ranking undead were also killed one after another because of the sudden help of strong men. For this, the Millennium Covenant Empire also paid a heavy price. However, in order to create opportunities for more residents to escape, the remaining three sanctuary experts led a small group of residents and soldiers to evacuate to the northwest, attracting nearly two-thirds of the undead army to pursue them.

Hearing this, Sean's frowning brows finally relaxed slightly.

He clearly remembered that there was a high-ranking sanctuary powerhouse beside Hassas. At present, all the sanctuary powerhouses in this southern province are gathered together and retreated to the large city of Boulder in the northwest. That is to say, if Hassas is still alive, he will definitely be in this city, and if he If he and his follower are not in this city, then there are only two possibilities: either they evacuated to the golden right, or Hasass is dead.

However, the eleven provinces on Nugget Road have high-end powerhouses sent by the empire to support them, and the battle is not only fierce but also in a stalemate. And according to the current information Sean knows, it seems that both Lake and Lucas Jr. are in command over there. It can be said that the danger is much higher than here. If there is no Kozilek or Alexis to follow, Sean didn't dare to go rashly.

After thinking for a while, Sean decided to leave immediately for Boulder to check the situation.

If Hassas was indeed not in this city, then he would first go to the single-player dungeon to see the situation, and then decide whether to go to Nugget Road.

The current situation has gone through the initial chaos and corruption, and it is gradually becoming clearer. Church reinforcements from various temples have also entered the southern continent one after another, and are rushing towards the Millennium Covenant Empire, so Xiao En knows that there is no need for him to act There is no hero, after all, he has passed the stage where he needs to fight for fame. What he needs most now is to develop and strengthen his own power in a low-key manner, in order to deal with the siege from all sides after the undead disaster is over.

As for this undead disaster, Sean knew it was dangerous and that it would be very difficult, but as a child of the plane, he also knew very well that as long as he didn't die for a day, it was impossible for these undead creatures to absorb the original power of the world and completely destroy this world. plane.

In other words, the fire will never go out, and there will always be the possibility of turning defeat into victory.
