Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Deep in the frozen wasteland, the Ice Sea Exploration Base.

Harvey manipulated the Soul Puppet and led the members of the exploration team to arrive here again.

Compared with more than two months ago, the base has changed a lot - three large energy-gathering arrays stand in the middle of the base, and a row of iron sheds are equipped with several long-distance one-way transmission arrays, which continuously transport various war materials to the base.

Currently, only one magic array that can transmit personnel in both directions can be built. Without the blessing of a planetary energy-gathering array, the base's own reserve of magic energy is only enough for centralized transmission once every half a month.

Along the edge of the huge pit of the Eternal Night Ruins, a semi-circular defense wall several miles long was built. The engineering team manipulated the alchemy beast to use local materials to cut the hard and heavy ice layer into neat huge ice bricks. It took less than a week to build the outermost defense fortifications.

The entire base is backed by the edge of the pit. In addition to the outer ice wall, many outpost bunkers have been repaired within the nearby thousand-meter warning range. They are also directly excavated from the ice layer, which is much more convenient than building with reinforced concrete.

The base is well planned inside, with temporary living areas for soldiers, workers, and technicians, food material storage warehouses, and alchemical weapons and equipment warehouses. The only pit edge without an ice wall has three elevators controlled by alchemical power devices operating around the clock. The research mages and alchemists stationed from the Academy of Magical Sciences and the Alchemical Laboratory are almost tirelessly following Harvey's instructions, carefully digging and exploring along the periphery of the Eternal Night Ruins.

Harvey brought people here early, naturally intending to conduct a drill near the base to ensure that the plan to trap alien enemies is foolproof.

…

“My Lord, I don’t understand…” The Eye of Illusion looked a little depressed, “The first encounter with the enemy was with our exploration team, why didn’t we get involved in the trapping plan?”

He turned his head and glanced at the astrologer, trying to use his eyes to force him to speak for him, “Although we were hasty at the time and there were many mistakes… but at least there is no problem in protecting ourselves.”

Harvey and Duncan looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled, “Fishermen don’t hang themselves on the hook as bait. You have additional tasks to perform, so just watch the trapping plan for now!”

After that, he nodded to Tommy, the personal guard, who immediately led a team of blood warriors to stand up, followed by two huge wolf spider beasts—the latest wolf spider type 3 developed by the military factory. This new type of wolf spider beast belongs to the category of heavy weapons. The magic core carried in the body is extremely powerful. When the magic contained in it is fully released, it is not even inferior to the fluctuation caused by a full-strength attack of a high-level spellcaster.

In addition, its design is known for its strong armor and flexible movement. Even in urban combat with complex and narrow terrain, it can move freely like a fish in water. Harvey originally planned to officially put it into urban combat in the southern border, but later shelved it temporarily considering the load and transportation difficulties of ironclad ships.

At present, it is the most suitable to use it as a "magic bait" to lure alien enemies.

"My personal guard will be fully responsible for this trapping operation. In addition to the wolf spider beast, the trapping device that needs to be invested is also a floating airship as a cover. At the same time, we will also build a camouflaged temporary camp near the artificially excavated sea swell mouth to simulate all the scenarios of the exploration team encountering the enemy before."

Harvey briefly introduced the preliminary arrangements of the plan, and then patted the shoulder of the personal guard captain Tommy, "Next, Captain Tommy will explain the specific arrangements and precautions for [Ice Fishing Operation]."

Tommy didn't feel nervous at all, with his usual careless smile on his face , bowed to Harvey and said loudly: "According to the intelligence, the wilderness forest where the exploration team encountered the target is less than 50 miles away from the edge of the ice sea. Based on this, we speculate that... the scope of the other party's landing activities will not be too far away from the ice sea. Their outposts... must be in the deep sea around the edge of the ice sea!"

The small sea swells are not like the pits in the Eternal Night Ruins, which always maintain the state of tidal surges and reciprocating sea water. Because the opening is too small, each time the seabed erupts and breaks through the ice layer, the hole can only last for a few days, and then it will gradually freeze due to the tide.

Therefore, Harvey speculated that the skinned monsters must be patrolling around the edge of the ice sea all the time. Once they find a sea swell that can be used for temporary landing, they will immediately go ashore and quickly scout the land situation. When the time is up, they will return to the sea before the sea swell freezes.

Tommy continued confidently: "The guards will be divided into two combat teams. One team will carry magic guns and ambush in the camouflaged camp, and launch an attack after the target takes the bait and lands... The other team will hide directly near the artificial sea swell, and blow up the ice cave immediately after the enemy lands, blocking their only escape route."

The blood warriors of the guards are not comparable to those "carbine monsters" of the exploration team. Most of them were members of the militia team that Harvey originally formed. Although not everyone's gun skills can catch up with several battalion commanders, they can basically hit whatever they point at within a medium and short distance, and the bullets never miss.

Duncan couldn't help but say: "The personnel arrangements and plans for frontal combat and blocking the retreat are perfect... But the question is how to capture them alive?"

The killing effect of the magic gun on the skinned monsters is unquestionable. Penetrating their strange skin shells or directly detonating the black water tank can kill the opponent on the spot, but if you want to catch them alive... obviously you can't use these two methods.

Tommy rubbed her hands and explained: "The target's appearance is similar to our human race. I think the limbs except the head and chest are definitely not important. We will try to break their limbs and make them lose their ability to resist directly..."

Harvey interrupted at the right time, "Considering that breaking the limbs may damage their skin, causing them to release strange red light [self-destruction program] like before, it is best to use a specially created trap device to trap directly. Ship it back.”

The Eye of Phantom said strangely: "There are any special trap devices?"

"Of course, with the permission of the city lord, the military factory rushed to build three frozen cages."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

After saying that, six guards came over with three one-person-high hexagonal barrel pillars with pulleys at the bottom. Duncan and the Eye of Illusion hurriedly stepped forward to check and found that the iron barrel could just hold a person, with densely engraved inside. Rune magic array.

"When Mr. Duncan fought head-on with the enemy, he used the extremely cold breath of the Icefield Demon Wolf in the Ice Formation technique to freeze an enemy, but in the end he found that the opponent did not die directly, and only temporarily lost his ability to move... So We use this barrel pillar attached with the frozen magic trap to imprison the targets to ensure they do not die directly from shattering or self-destructing behavior.”

As for how to make the target actively fall into the barrel pillar buried in the ice layer in advance as a trap... it naturally depends on those new types of wolf spider beasts for deliberate guidance.
