Lord of War

How could a 50,000 undead army have hundreds of intelligent undead creatures as command nodes.

This point is the same as that in a legion there must be a middle-level commander, captains of each unit, and sub-regiment leaders to assist the commander of the army to command and attack tough battles.

This is the so-called chain of command.

Like in the current Duchy of the Void, William is the supreme being of this system. He personally formulates tactics and sends them down to the commanders of each legion, such as Alfred and Clover. And they have to complete their own tasks according to the tactics formulated by William. Of course, in this process, whether to attack by force or to fight in a roundabout way, or to make a surprise attack, etc., are arranged by themselves according to the situation and conditions of the battlefield.

But even for them, it is impossible for one person to complete the deployment and deployment of the entire legion in an instant, so what they need to do is to issue their own orders to the commanders of each division and division, and they will be responsible Carry out final coordination and unified operations.

The hundreds of undead commanders who were eliminated by Xiao En before played such a role.

And these undead commanders who have such an important role are naturally impossible to be sacrificed as cannon fodder. Almost every such undead creature, its own soul fire must be connected to the superior undead creature. Therefore, when the hundreds of undead commanders responsible for sitting and commanding were all wiped out, the high-level undead creatures responsible for commanding these undead commanders naturally also felt it.

At this time, in an undead army in the northwest, several undead creatures suddenly looked at each other.

The composition of these undead creatures is extremely mixed. There are not only sixth-level black knights, but also sixth-level bone demons, and even seventh-level undead generals.

As if aware of the strangeness of the intelligent undead subordinates under his command, an undead dressed in a black robe but full of death energy suddenly turned his head to look at these subordinates.

Generally speaking, undead creatures above the seventh level are high-level undead creatures, but usually only the eighth-level undead creatures will give birth to corresponding spiritual intelligence, which can be regarded as intelligent creatures.

But this kind of thing is not absolute.

The production process of undead is usually born by mixing corpse materials and souls, so occasionally there will be some high-level undead creatures with powerful corpse materials but weak souls, which eventually lead to high-level undead creatures with strong strength but little wisdom; but if it is The undead with a relatively powerful soul may also be born with wisdom at a relatively low level, thus getting rid of the image of an undead monster and officially becoming a member of the undead clan.

Right now, these can only be regarded as middle-level black knights and bone demons, because their soul power is too strong, so they will form their own wisdom at this stage, thus becoming real undead, not undead that can be sacrificed and consumed monster. And because of the wisdom born in advance, it is destined that their future growth will never be limited to the sixth level. At least this black knight's future growth path will definitely become a tenth level undead knight.

And in the undead clan, this kind of intelligent undead that can give birth to spiritual wisdom is not uncommon, so it is generally more important.

This point can be seen from the attitude of this undead who is wearing a black robe but has a strong dead air all over his body, and from time to time some black mist diffuses out.

Yes, this is a fog spirit.

Moreover, it is quite powerful Wu Ling,

Just judging from the aura it displayed, I'm afraid it also has the powerful combat power of the middle sanctuary. If one considers that he is the commander of an army and some characteristics of an undead creature, he may be able to display a terrifying combat power close to that of a high-level sanctuary.

"What's wrong with that team in the west?" the fog spirit asked, his voice was hoarse and low, a bit like a broken gong, and a bit like the sound of a snake spitting out a letter.

The power of the undead army is of course because the command ability is only between the thoughts of the high-ranking undead, but the control and control of this kind of thought also requires extremely huge mental power and soul power. Even the thirteen kings and the seven great witches in the plane of bones cannot divide their spiritual imprints indefinitely to contact these undead creatures, so as to achieve a degree of control like an arm command, so naturally it is inevitable to need those who can act as commanders The character's middle and low-level undead come as a transmission node.

This fog spirit is the commander-in-chief of the undead legion responsible for the aggression of the two southern provinces, but his strength is not even comparable to that of the death knight, and even the undead at the level of the seven great witches need to use the transmission node , let alone him? So the only thing he needs is to connect his spiritual brand with these high-level undead creatures under his command. As for the lower-level undead creatures and commanders, these high-level undead are in charge.

At this time, these undead with strange emotional fluctuations were the undead army that was in charge of diverting and chasing them to the west.

Originally, these undead also needed to go to the west together, but the group of human survivors he was chasing now was too powerful, so he took them with him, so that he could control more undead. It's just that in order to prevent problems with the undead army that was chasing and fleeing to the west, the spiritual imprints of hundreds of undead commanders were evenly distributed on these few undead, so that the pressure on them would not be too great.

But seeing their strange emotional fluctuations now, the fog spirit immediately realized that something was wrong.

After several undead looked at each other, the black knight in black armor said, "All the nodes in the west seem to be... completely destroyed."

"Total annihilation?" The mist on Wuling's body spewed out suddenly, and the rotten ground seemed to have been corroded more intensely in an instant, almost turning into a puddle of mud. Fifty thousand?"

"The pursuit and replenishment in the past few days has already exceeded 50,000. Originally, after capturing that small city, there will be no opponents in the west of the province, and the final scale will be expanded to 100,000." The one who spoke was a skeleton. , but this skeleton is larger than ordinary skeletons, and there is a hidden magical aura fluctuating on it, "However... when the spiritual imprint is cleared, the actual scale of control is about 50,000."

"There is a strong man in the sanctuary who has intervened in the battle in the west." The voice of the fog spirit turned cold.

After the defeat of the war that day, the fog spirit naturally paid a heavy price before finally taking the first city in this province, forcing these human survivors to flee in three groups. And as a commander with real wisdom, how could he fail to see the tactics of those humans, but at that time his idea was to use tricks, anyway, if it was delaying time, the undead would definitely have the upper hand in the end.

After all, the biggest advantage of the dead wave of the undead is that as the war becomes more intense and cruel, the size of their legion will become larger and larger.

Especially in a battlefield where there is a lack of strong men of sufficient strength, the expansion speed of an army of undead is absolutely astonishing. If it weren't for the fact that he is the only undead with the strength of the sanctuary sitting here now, this fog spirit naturally wouldn't need to be trapped here as he is now, and form a confrontation with the humans in this province today. They swept across the entire province with an unparalleled advantage, and then rushed to the Me'an Fortress for reinforcements.

In addition to taking advantage of the internal strife among human forces, the undead army did not pay a price for being able to take this fortress at an extremely fast speed. However, this fortress happened to be an extremely important strategic location, so despite paying a heavy price and even letting the humans in the entire second province know about the death tide crisis, it was of great benefit to the undead side.

However, after taking the fortress, the next action is naturally very important.

After all, this time, they are not a small wave of death, but really invaded from the plane of bones, and want to completely assimilate and devour this plane, so of course they must be serious and careful in terms of strategic layout consideration. Because of this, the task of this fog spirit is to assimilate all the living people in the two provinces of the Golden Left Road into undead, and then rush to the Me'an Fortress for reinforcements.

Both Lake and Lucas knew very well that this powerful empire would never let Fort Mayan fall into the hands of their undead, so a battle between dragons and tigers would soon break out with Fort Mayan as the point of grab.

According to the previous tasks given to the various undead legions that are now invading the Millennium Covenant Empire, the task of this fog spirit is to go to Fort Meian as the first batch of reinforcements immediately after solving the two provinces. Afterwards, during the invasion of the eleven provinces on Nugget Road, when Lake and Lucas Jr. opened up the situation, the second undead army reinforcements that solved the problem of the Golden Right would arrive immediately. After that, after the Nuggets Road situation was opened by half, Lucas Jr. would personally lead the third undead army to arrive.

And all these strategic plans will be completed within three to five months.

It has been a month now, and the Me'an Fortress plan has not even completed a third of the progress, which naturally makes the fog spirit feel anxious.

It's just that he also knows that the resistance in this province still exists, and its strength is quite strong. There are at least four holy domain experts, although one of them was seriously injured after being attacked by him yesterday. There are only three people left with the strength to fight, but he didn't rush to fight to the death. His original intention was to wait for the two undead troops that went to the west and the north to kill the enemies on these two sides, and after the scale expanded to 200,000, he would join his own army in the middle, and then use extremely strong The gesture rushed towards the last stronghold of human beings.

Relying on the untired and fearful crowd tactics of undead creatures, forcing the three sanctuary powerhouses to break out, at least enough to make them pay a heavy price. And if the opponent does not break through, but chooses to fight hard, then this is more in line with his wishes. At least under the huge tide of over 400,000 undead, he does not think that these three sanctuary powerhouses who are already scarred can still survive. down.

Even if all the 400,000 undead army were sacrificed, the value of harvesting the corpses of four strong men in the sanctuary as raw materials would definitely be greater than the 400,000 undead cannon fodder.

But now, the undead army in the west has been completely annihilated—the fog spirit doesn't think that undead army can survive. Once all the command nodes are eliminated, the undead army that is only cannon fodder will end It is completely conceivable how - this is tantamount to completely bankrupting the plan that this fog spirit had thought before.

"My lord, let's go next..."

"Let the troops in the north withdraw, there is no need to continue to disperse." Wu Ling said in a deep voice, "Humans are really cunning, I have already fallen into the trap if I didn't notice it for a while. It seems that the only way to deal with these enemies is as soon as possible... at all costs cost."

The eye sockets of several undead commanders suddenly lit up with bloody meaning full of evil spirit.

And that night, the undead army, which had besieged a fortress in the northwest of the province for many days, immediately launched a wave of extremely vicious charges, and this place became extremely tragic in an instant. However, because there are still three sanctuary powerhouses in charge, even if the human side suffered heavy casualties, the undead army also paid a high price, but in the end, the human side suffered more.

Because even if the corpses of all the human beings who died in battle were burned, so that the army of undead could not obtain the material of the corpses, they could still obtain the souls of the dead in battle.

...

At this time, Xiao En didn't know what kind of change the mission he was forced to go to Liangshan would bring about because of this.

All he knew was that after communicating with the middle-aged man, the system immediately reminded him that he had completed the task.

But before he got the reward, the system mission gave a new reminder.

"The first phase of the mission has been completed, and the mission rewards have been accumulated."

"The second phase of the mission is open."

"Detecting special mission data points."

"The mission is out of order and is being corrected."

"The judgment of the second phase of the task is completed, and the task rewards have been accumulated."

"The third phase of the mission is open."

Sentences of cold system voices rang rapidly in Sean's mind.

Before Sean figured out what "task rewards have accumulated" and "the second phase of the mission has started." He heard the words "task disorder", and while he was still thinking about what it meant, the system unexpectedly He was also told that "the second phase of the mission has been completed." This made him even more inexplicable.

But soon, the third phase of the task given by the system immediately gave Sean a guess.

"Mission Requirement: Rush to Green Castle to assist humans in resisting the invasion of the Second Army of the Undead."

"Mission Description: The Undead Second Legion divided into three groups to try to completely wipe out the province's vital forces, but because of your intervention, the western invasion plan of the Undead Second Army has failed. At this time, the other party has recalled the branch that is invading the north. The Legion is preparing to concentrate its efforts to completely wipe out all the living forces in the Green Castle. At this time, the Green Castle has fallen into the greatest crisis of destruction, please rush to the rescue immediately."

"Task Reward: Choose one of three random data enhancement rewards."

"Failure penalty: unknown."

After listening to the quest description, Sean finally knew why he announced that he had completed the second phase of the quest. It turned out that the commander of the Second Army of the Undead had withdrawn from the branch in the north, preparing to concentrate the power of the entire Undead Army. Solve the sanctuary powerhouse over there in the green castle. Because as long as all the strong men in the green castle are eliminated, then no one in the entire province will be able to resist the second army of the undead.

This is naturally bad news for Sean.

What's more, there might be Hassas in the so-called Green Castle.

So Sean, who was planning to go to Greencastle, immediately set off to the northwest after hearing the request for this mission. At this moment, he only hoped that he could rush to the Green Castle in time, but don't wait until he feels that the Green Castle has been breached. Although this mission did not specify what the punishment for mission failure would be, but looking at the punishment for mission failure in the first stage, Xiao En knew that it was definitely not a loss that he could bear or was willing to bear.

Of course, Sean is also very interested in this "data enhancement reward," because this is the first reward Sean has seen since he came to this world for so long.
