Lord of War

In an instant, only Sean was left standing alone on this battlefield.

But on Xiao En's face, there was no trace of rejoicing for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, only a dignified expression.

He looked in the direction of the Thirteenth Coffin of Deaththorns who had fled without a trace in an instant and the direction of Christina who was chasing after him, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and he let out a breath after a long time. At this time, he realized that his tiger's mouth was slightly hurt, and when he looked down, he realized that the few times he caught the black death tide before, the tiger's mouth was actually shattered, and it was because of Christina's "absolute holy light". It was healed, but it was only the injury that healed, but the pain left before the wound could not be completely eliminated.

The strength of the field of Absolute Holy Light is that it is within the scope of the field, which can speed up the recovery of all injuries and prevent side effects such as bleeding and ulceration. Of course, according to Sean's speculation, it also has the effect of being immune to all toxins. Sean guessed The law that Christina mastered should be biased towards the healing mastered by the goddess of life. Although this field did not directly enhance Christina's apparent strength, but with the title of Fearless and Kristina's various attributes and abilities that are close to bugs, the effect of this field may have an effect on her increase bigger.

Perhaps, the devil boy saw this, so he gave up fighting.

In the thirteen coffins of death thorns, Ghost Sword Demon Boy is the one with the strongest desire to attack, he wants to provoke a fight almost all the time. Basically, as long as such a guy's mission is involved, it's impossible to avoid fighting. Unlike others, there is a possibility of avoiding combat.

However, such a person with the strongest desire to fight actually chose to avoid Christina, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.

Xiao En glanced at the devastation all over the ground, and he also had a more intuitive understanding of the competition between the strong in the sanctuary in this world.

Although most people will subconsciously ignore the battle situation due to the effect of the domain, but the damage caused by the strong in the sanctuary will not disappear because of this.

When Kristina's "Shunpo" erupted for the first time, it left a huge deep pit on the ground that was more than one meter deep and covered five or six meters in diameter; and immediately after the first contact between the two sides, that The airflow erupted when Kristina hit the black death tide even tore apart the ground within a radius of 30 meters.

Although in the domain it seems that the collision of the two domains created cracks in their respective domains, the impact on the material world is not low, because every punch that Christina hits on the black death tide afterwards , let this range expand by one meter to several meters. Sean was able to judge this purely because the surrounding cracks had an extremely obvious multi-level distribution.

As for the place where it seems that the black death tide was first smashed down in the domain, it is not very far away, but in fact, it is also hundreds of meters away in the material world. Because there is also a very obvious subsidence there - it's not just a few big trees that were crushed by the black dead tide, but there are also huge pits several meters deep and three meters long on the ground.

In the distance, there was already a rushing sound of galloping.

Obviously, it was the sound of people on both sides of the stronghold and the camp rushing over when they heard the sound of the battle.

Sean didn't dare to stay here anymore, not because he was afraid of the siege of these people, but because he was a little uncomfortable explaining the current situation. So soon, he turned around and left quickly. With his current strength, it didn't matter whether he rode a horse or not. The horse he got from the camp before was just to disguise his low strength.

soon,

Sean returned to Mai En's stronghold under construction at the entrance to the water monster's secret cache.

As Xiao En expected, there were not many guards in the stronghold at this time, and it was obvious that most of the guards had gone to the incident site. No one was surprised by Xiao En's appearance, but Xiao En understood it after a little thought. After all, the deep abdomen area of ​​the entire barren land had been "unified" by Mai En at this time, so now he can be in this area. Humans who move freely in the area must be companions, so no one will check anything.

So Sean quickly returned to the Water Demon's Vault.

As soon as he entered the square, Sean noticed something was wrong. Originally, when Xiao En and those people left today, there were many corpses in the square, but at this time, except for the blood all over the ground, all the corpses had disappeared, and there was not even a single residue left. , You don't need to think about Sean to know whose masterpiece it is. It's just that at this time he wasn't sure that he was the only one in the water demon's secret store, so he didn't shout out, but ran towards the central hall quickly.

However, Sean stopped only halfway through the run, because Cecilia and others were walking out from the direction of the central hall.

Thinking about it carefully, the old lich seemed to be able to sense the response of biological characteristics, so he could naturally deduce it from this, so it was not unusual to know that it was Sean who came back.

"Are you okay?" Cecilia asked eagerly.

"It's okay." Xiao En shook his head, and then he told what happened after leaving the water monster's secret store today. Of course, he didn't hide the fact that he got the two blueprints, but the process of how to get them was skipped, "I didn't The pearl of the deep sea was discovered, it is estimated that this thing was either placed here in the stronghold, or it was carried by Mai En. ... But I guess the possibility of the latter is relatively low, because I have already inquired about it today, and Mai En is preparing to put all All the treasures are transported here, and this place should be regarded as his headquarters soon."

"Then are we going to search here now?" Rotika Bass asked.

"If I search alone, the progress may be slower, so I hope Harding and Roti can help you two." Sean said, "Besides, the wild land is very unsafe now, the Thirteen Coffins of Deaththorns It seems that four of them are here in the barren land... Now that this information has been learned by the people of the Peace Council, I guess this place will soon become a battlefield."

"Thirteen coffins of death thorns!?" Both Rotikabas and Cecilia were taken aback, with disbelief in their tone.

But the others looked blank.

Sean was not surprised that Rotikabas and Cecilia knew about the Thirteen Coffins of Deaththorns.

No matter what, the former has been in this surface world for more than ten years. Even if he doesn't know the higher-level power structure of Deaththorn, he must have heard of the title "Thirteen Coffins". And Cecilia, after all, was the daughter of the Grand Duke of Lumber. Even if she didn't want to know about it, she would hear rumors about it more or less, and even studied in the academy of the Maggie Empire. I have also seen similar information.

The only ones who really don't know the title of "Thirteen Coffins of Deaththorns" are Old Lich, Heatley, Xina, Lancet, and Harding.

But although they didn't know, they knew that Cecilia, Rotikabas, and Sean were not easy to mess with from the serious expressions on their faces. Of course, what gave them a clearer understanding of the current situation was the peace council that Sean just mentioned—compared to the existence of dead thorns, the peace council is the most important thing for the entire continent, from three-year-old children to hundred-year-olds. A well-known organization.

In the perception of these people, anyone who has anything to do with the Peace Association is a big devil.

In order to let his companions better understand the existence of the Thirteen Coffins of Deaththorns, Sean also had to explain a little bit about Ghost Sword, Demon Boy, Undead Girl, Wendy, Black Dead Tide and others, by the way I checked the other ten thirteen coffins.

"I said why there are five extremely powerful auras suddenly appearing, so it is like this." After hearing what Xiao En said, the old Lich couldn't help but nodded, "So it's like this."

Sean wanted to respond casually, but soon he realized the difference in what the old Lich said: "Five strands?"

Harding, Rotikabas, and Cecilia's expressions changed instantly when they heard the words, and Heatley and Hina, who reacted a little slower, also came to their senses. Only Lancet still looked blank.

Even if the old Lich thinks that Undead Girl Wendy and Ghost Sword Demon Boy are extremely powerful, then adding Black Dead Tide and Christina, there are only four of them, so the fifth extremely strong momentum Who is it?

But this answer, before Xiao En and others could figure it out, the old lich suddenly stretched out a bony finger and pointed in a certain direction, and there was a sound of glass breaking in the air, followed by a man in a black robe Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a black staff that was as tall as a person appeared in front of everyone. Of course, at the scene where he appeared in front of everyone at this time, he took a few steps backwards, his originally rosy face suddenly turned pale, and his Adam's apple twitched, as if he had swallowed something.

"Dark Prophet!?" Shock appeared on Sean's face.

"It's not him, it's just a clone projection." The old lich said disdainfully, "However, there are some means. It takes a lot of magic power for ordinary people to make the projection materialize, but it can make the projection come true." Touching things is close to the level of gods, and this projection of yours... also has impressive combat strength."

"I didn't expect there to be a lich here either." The Dark Prophet looked very calm, the pallor quickly disappeared, and became rosy again. His eyes swept over Xiao En and the others one by one, Then he said, "Of course, I didn't even expect to see Grand Duke Void here, as well as a demon descendant, a dark elf, and... a mermaid, and even... a priest of the Church of Life."

No matter where it is placed, the team formed by Sean at this time is indeed enough to be called "wonderful".

The first is the underground camp and the surface camp. The conflicts between these two camps are simply irresolvable, but Sean is coexisting friendly with Harding and Rotikabas at this time. Secondly, there is the coexistence of the Lich and the priest of the Church of Life, which is also a very puzzling combination. And because of these two completely different situations, the appearance of Lanster, the mermaid, is not so surprising.

The Dark Prophet is a middle-aged man who looks about thirty to forty years old.

He has a handsome face and exudes a very mature temperament. If it wasn't for his identity being exposed by Xiao En at this time, most people would only think that he was a dark prophet when they saw him for the first time. A knowledgeable and mysterious magician. Of course, if he changed his attire, he might also be able to play the role of a successful businessman, a wealthy nobleman, etc., because the noble temperament exuded from him is enough to make him have a great disguise capital.

However, it is the person in front of him who, by deliberately misinterpreting a prophecy, provoked a war between two great powers, resulting in the death of millions of people and the displacement of tens of millions of people. Just for his revenge. His behavior will naturally arouse the high attention and pursuit of the Peace Council. Therefore, in the next fifty years, the dark prophet "died" as many as eleven times in the hands of the Peace Council, but each time he died in the hands of the Peace Council. When the council thought it had killed him, it didn't take long to hear news that he was making trouble everywhere.

It wasn't until after the eleventh time that the Peace Council realized that the Dark Prophet was not human. And every time he can predict his own death in advance, so as to arrange related aftermath work, disguise his own death so as to avoid being chased and killed.

After the eleventh forged death, the Dark Prophet received an invitation from Deaththorn, thus becoming one of the Thirteen Coffins of Deaththorn.

If the thirteen coffins of death thorns were really ranked according to personal strength and combat effectiveness, the dark prophet might not be able to enter the top five, but if it is only about strategy and ruthlessness, he can definitely be ranked in the top three.

Just as the quest involving Ghost Sword and Demon Boy will inevitably fight against Ghost Sword, the quest involving the Dark Prophet must be related to war.

After contacting the broken branch of the tree of life and the elven army and those mercenary groups that escorted the broken branch of the tree of life before, Xiao En has roughly figured out what the conspiracy planned by the dark prophet is: to stir up all the elf tribes in the entire barren land hatred of human beings.

Although the components of the Wildlands were complex, the four major groups of elves, barbarians, dwarves, and orcs accounted for nearly three-fifths of the seats in the Wildlands Council. The remaining two-fifths are divided between lizardmen, orcs, kobolds and other humanoid or subhuman races.

The main problem of today's barbarian civil strife lies in the barbarians.

When Sean destroyed the first-to-tail route of the Pancontinental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, it was not only the Pancontinental Chamber of Commerce Alliance that suffered losses, but also the surrounding countries that occupied the entrances and exits of the Wilderness Region. The cooperation between the king and the outside world was exposed by those who wanted to, and as a result, it led to internal divisions. In fact, the wild parliament now exists in name only.

At this time, there will be the emergence of the main combat faction and the stability maintenance faction.

Almost all the orcs and nearly one-half of the barbarians are the main combat faction, while the other half, such as the barbarian tribe, stone hammer tribe and dwarf tribe, constitute the stability maintenance faction. If at this time, the anger of the elves against humans is provoked, then the main combat faction will gain a large-scale absolute advantage. At that time, if the stability maintenance faction does not want to be annexed by the wild "law of the jungle", then they can only Choose to play.

As for the wild chaos, the weaker forces in the surrounding regions are the first to bear the brunt.

There is no doubt that Sean's Void Principality will definitely be the first place to be attacked. With the current strength of the Principality of the Void, it is simply impossible to stop the entire wild land from pouring out - this is equivalent to the military strength of an old empire. And once the Void Principality can't stop this fierce tide, then the next situation will be obvious: take this as a breakthrough point, and the entire southern continent will be completely plunged into war.

Seeing Xiao En's fluctuating expression, the Dark Prophet suddenly said: "It is rumored that the Grand Duke of the Void is quick-witted, good at seeing the whole situation at a glance, and has an unrivaled grasp of the situation. Now it seems that it is not fake at all. Obviously, Your Excellency has discovered my plan."

The plan of the dark prophet is to turn the conspiracy into a conspiracy.

Through the conspiracy of "provoking the hatred of the elves in the barren land against humans", and thus "drawing the entire barren land to attack the void principality", such an overt conspiracy. Although this kind of scheme is very ruthless, it is completely different from Deaththorn's usual policy: after all, Deaththorn's business is mainly assassination, even if the conspiracy provoked by the dark prophet , After joining Deaththorn, they all serve for assassination.

At this moment, how could such a thing that provoked the chaos of the entire Southern Continent be launched?

"What good will it do you if the Southern Continent is plunged into war?" Xiao En asked with a frown.

This time, he came to the wild land, in addition to preparing for breaking through the sanctuary in order to break through to the high-level gold and complete the task of strengthening the body, on the other hand, he also wanted to win the ally of the wild land for the Principality of the Void. However, if the Dark Prophet's plan is to succeed, then Sean's plan must be in vain. In this way, because of the trust in Sean, the series of changes implemented in the Principality of the Void to welcome the joining of the tribes in the barren land will also It was all in vain.

"Will the Southern Continent fall into war?" The Dark Prophet was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "I think the Grand Duke of Void seems to have misunderstood something."

Hearing this, Sean frowned even tighter.

However, at such a time, Cecilia is more likely to spot the problem keenly: "Your purpose is only to target the Principality of the Void? Is it just a foil to plunge the southern continent into war?"

"Almost." The Dark Prophet smiled, "Now that things are up to now, it doesn't matter if I explain the plan clearly to you... My purpose is just to get revenge on the Void Principality... Well, strictly speaking, it's to get revenge on you , Grand Duke Sean Connery. Although I don’t know how you got to know the location of one of the five lairs of Deaththorn, you used this as a deal with the Peace Council, allowing you to provoke the Principality of Lane and Darby The war between Ang kingdoms is indeed very beautiful from a commercial point of view."

Hearing what the Dark Prophet said, Xiao En knew why the other party was targeting the Duchy of the Void, and his horrified state of mind was calmed down at this time.

Of course, he also received a notification from the system at the same time——

[Your relationship with Deaththorn has been changed to: World Feud. 】

This is probably due to the changes caused by the dark prophet clarifying the problem. In this way, it can also be explained why Xiao En emitted such a strong red light when he activated the Eye of Truth after seeing the Dark Prophet.

"But you should know, what kind of existence is our Deaththorn? So I think when your Excellency made this deal, you should have expected that our Deaththorn would make a decision after learning that one of the five lairs was destroyed. What's the counterattack?" The dark prophet said calmly, "However, I didn't expect that the Grand Duke of the Void would appear in this wild land, which was a bit beyond my expectation, but unfortunately the picture in the prophecy did not describe clearly. , otherwise I should have known it long ago... But you can rest assured that the assassination against all the high-level officials of your Void Principality has long been on the agenda, so even if the other members of the Thirteen Coffins who went to the Void Principality did not find you at this time, It will take care of the others as well."

"To solve it together?" Hearing the words of the dark prophet, Xiao En quickly went through the historical progress in the game at this time. Although he didn't remember clearly, he was sure that thirteen There are probably only three people in the coffin who have nothing to do at this time, "Do you really think that the Void City is a place where you can be unrestrained? If you and the thirteen coffins shot together, it would be the same. I'm afraid the three of you, Demon Soul and Death Sword, can't handle it right?"

Hearing Xiao En's words, the dark prophet's expression changed slightly.

The reason why his complexion changed was not because of Xiao En's so-called "can't handle it", because in fact these three people were arranged by Deaththorn to assassinate Xiao En. Naturally, it is not difficult to solve Xiao En based on the strength of the opponent. It's just that Deaththorn didn't expect that Sean would come to the wild land, so the three people who arranged to kill Sean were naturally going to miss out.

The real reason for the slight change in the face of the Dark Prophet is that Xiao En accurately named the three members of the Thirteen Coffins in this operation. In connection with Xiao En's knowledge of one of the five lairs of Deaththorn, which is extremely hidden even inside Deaththorn, the dark prophet wondered if there was a traitor inside. Even the Dark Prophet wondered if the Peace Council had any arrangements in the Principality of the Void, otherwise, how could Christina appear by Sean's side by such a coincidence.

"It seems that we, Deaththorn, underestimated Your Excellency." The dark prophet said solemnly.

The more the dark prophet showed such a look, the more uneasy Sean became. Because he knew that this dark prophet would soon pass on what Sean said to the other members of the Thirteen Coffins, and even the higher-level people of Deaththorn. In this way, the next plan against him will probably be more complete, and the force of the attack will be greater.

"Anyway, I'm just here today to say hello, Mr. Sean, we will meet later." The dark prophet bowed to Sean, "Next time, we, Deaththorn, will definitely attack you after we are fully prepared."

Saying so, the figure of the dark prophet gradually became transparent, as if he was about to leave.

But at this moment, the old lich, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "I said... You come here as soon as you say so, and leave as soon as you say, you don't think much of me? ...Since you dare to appear here, and still have such an arrogant tone, then don't leave at all."

Almost when he finished speaking, brighter purple flames ignited in the empty eye sockets of the old lich.

In an instant, the air around the Dark Prophet suddenly vibrated, as if someone reached out and slapped a glass bottle full of water: countless ripples visible to the naked eye vibrated around the Dark Prophet. Come. At this moment, the Dark Prophet, whose figure had faded so much that it was almost transparent, spurted out a mouthful of blood as if he had been hit hard, and then his transparent figure became even more clear.

At this moment, everyone remembered that in this space, there is still a Lich!

What is a Lich?

That is at least a powerful existence of the twelfth order!

The twelfth level is a concept again?

That is the existence of the legendary level!

Although the dark prophet is only half a step away from being promoted to the legendary existence, as long as he does not get promoted for a day, he is still only the pinnacle of the upper sanctuary.

There is no such thing as a quasi-legend on the line between a high-level sanctuary and a legend.

If it is a legend, then it is a legend, if it is not a legend, then it can only be a high-level sanctuary for the rest of its life!

What's more, Sean doesn't think the old lich is an ordinary legendary powerhouse.

This guy has been imprisoned in that distorted space for an unknown number of years. Even if his strength is damaged, it is afraid that it is not comparable to ordinary legendary powerhouses.

It is clear.

This very arrogant dark prophet is going to have bad luck today.
