The necromancer just wants to plant trees

……

At that moment, Matthew found an opportunity to leave the shadow node, then activated the invisibility orb and evacuated to the edge of the battlefield at the fastest speed.

The plain where the battlefield was located lacked shelter.

Matthew finally found a small slope, and quickly set up the invisibility and illusion-related barriers below the slope.

He immediately pulled the silver snake Richard and the orc thief Safro from the safe house in the sampan plane.

Then came Sener in the Lost Paradise.

Since a detailed plan had been made long ago, Matthew only spent two minutes explaining the current situation and more specific requirements.

The three legendary wanderers took their orders and sneaked away.

Matthew ordered A Bing to approach the edge of the battlefield and be responsible for meeting the three legendary wanderers.

Not long after.

The shadow node where they were previously located encountered strong exclusion from the devils.

Carmela and Roland also evacuated in advance.

The three of them hid on the inconspicuous slope and continued to observe the changes in the situation.

In general.

The devil coalition had a clear advantage.

As the shadow nodes were constantly dismantled, the weakness of the shadow creatures in frontal combat was exposed.

The front line on the battlefield continued to compress towards the direction of the shadow castle.

According to this trend.

Matthew believed that it would not be long before Beckman had to make changes.

Once the demon army really broke through the castle gate leading to the shadow core, it would be too late.

However.

Before Matthew noticed the Lord of Darkness's actions, Gracia took the lead in releasing the killing move.

"Shadow Demon Legion."

The three of them observed two extremely secretive demon killer teams passing through the flanks of the battlefield.

They moved very efficiently, shuttling between other demons as if there was no collision.

Other demons seemed unaware of this team.

They moved forward quietly like a group of ghosts.

But Matthew knew very well.

The threat index of the shadow demon killer was far beyond the reach of ghosts.

"They are all pure shadow demons, none of them are just filler shadow demons."

Lorran sighed in a low voice:

"It seems that mages are hated everywhere."

"Not just necromancers?"

Matthew raised his eyebrows:

"In terms of the ability to be hated, bards seem to be no less."

"But people usually only think about dealing with mages, why is that?"

Lorran replied with a smile:

"Because most bards can only talk badly."

"And mages can really kill people!"

Matthew nodded in agreement.

They have observed that the two shadow demon killer teams are heading for the volcano mage and his group on the city wall.

This is a very dangerous signal.

Greshia's shadow demon army is not even afraid when facing the behemoth Alistair.

Assassinating mages should be a more handy thing for them.

But in the current situation.

He has no way to remind the other party-

More importantly.

Matthew has not yet determined the true identity and position of the volcano mage Ailin.

This group of people are mixed with the Tongluo gods who intend to replicate the blood meteor. To put it bluntly, they are the "Ain multi-traitors" who are more hateful than the Purgatory Demon.

Even if there is any misunderstanding.

It is not enough for Matthew to risk for them.

"That Ailin should be able to detect it."

"Other mages may not be able to escape this disaster of the shadow demon."

"But all this is great news for us, isn't it?"

Roland commented.

Matthew nodded slightly.

While talking.

The figures of the two shadow demon teams have completely disappeared under the city wall, and it is unknown when they will take action.

The mages on the city wall still look leisurely paddling in the water.

However, Ailin's playful smile can make extremely accurate offset or rebound for every sneak attack of long-range spells.

It can be seen that he has not actually relaxed his vigilance.

Matthew adjusted his breathing.

He also wanted to know how the shadow demon killer usually takes the first step when assassinating a mage.

However, before the shadow demons took action.

The three legendary wanderers have returned one by one -

Because of the precise coordinates and advance information provided by Matthew, the wanderers have precise guidance in collecting intelligence, and their efficiency is naturally greatly improved.

Moreover, these three legendary wanderers all have their own unique skills.

In less than ten minutes.

They brought back the further information about Gracia that Matthew wanted to know.

"I think the protection system of the Queen of Devil can be divided into three layers."

The first to come back, Silver Snake Richard, gave a sophisticated and accurate description:

"The first layer, which is also the longest, is actually the Purgatory Giant Beast and the Flag of Recruitment on its back."

"Everyone knows the halo effect of the Flag of Recruitment, but the anti-stealth and anti-assassination capabilities of the Purgatory Giant Beast are often easily overlooked."

"That guy not only looks huge, but his perception and anti-stealth capabilities are also very strong.

I observed that every thirty seconds, the Purgatory Giant Beast would raise its left front hoof and then stomp heavily on the ground.

This process can activate three very secret anti-stealth barriers.

The specific reconnaissance effect is about 300 meters.

And once someone with ill intentions towards it or its owner approaches, it may sense it at a distance of about 500 meters.

Legendary rogues can hide their malice.

But there is still a risk of being discovered within a range of 100 meters.

But all this is not unsolvable.

That giant purgatory beast is similar to an existence that was promoted by the soul of nature into a secret realm beast after death. Although it is very burly, in fact, its physical ability is far inferior to what it was in life.

Its actions require a large amount of purgatory power to support it.

The tearable plane is not a true purgatory. There is not much purgatory power available to it, so what supports its actions is actually the flag of recruitment on its back.

As long as it can seal or weaken the power of the flag of recruitment.

Then the Inferno Behemoth's perception or anti-invisibility capabilities will also be greatly restricted.

It won't be that difficult to deal with it then.

Just deal with it in the same way as destroying the secret realm beasts. "

After hearing this, Matthew felt a chill in his heart——

He did subconsciously ignore the big guy of the Purgatory War Beast.

Unexpectedly, that thing is also part of Gracia's self-protection system, and it seems to be quite crucial!

"Priceless information."

"I should have a way to reduce the effect of the flag of recruitment, but once I do it, I must control Gracia and the beast itself immediately. The time left for us may be tighter than expected..."

Matthew said.

Richard nodded and said:

"Fortunately, our mission is just to steal things from the Queen of Desire, so the difficulty will be much lower than a real assassination."

"Anyway, I'll try my best."

Subsequently.

Sener quickly elaborated on the second part of Gracia's protection system:

"The mid- and short-range defense mainly consists of Gracia's followers. Leaving aside the soldiers in the Devil Alliance, the main composition is as follows -"

"First of all, there are three teams of lust demons. Each team has six people, a total of eighteen people. Usually one team is resting, one is on standby, and one is performing escort missions openly."

"Don't underestimate the Desire Demons. Although there is not a single legendary unit, it is still a bit tricky for ordinary legends to deal with a squad of Desire Demons, let alone in such a battlefield environment."

"In addition, Gracia is accompanied by four shadow demon guards, four purgatory monks, two personal maids, and two personal male pets who serve her all year round."

"The shadow demon guards and purgatory monks are very powerful in combat. Fortunately, this is not a purgatory space, and they will receive much less favor."

"As for the personal maids and male favorites, I can't judge their strength. I can only say that they should have some self-defense skills, but they should not be too strong."

at last.

It was the snitch girl Savrolla who gave her evaluation of the last line of defense:

"I have done some research before, and there are three most famous guards around Gracia, namely Alchemist Lopez, Blasphemy Warlock Anderson, and Loyal Kalva."

"The currently confirmed information is that Demon Refining Lopez was sent to her original territory, the Secret Cave of Infernal Affairs, to perform an important mission, while Anderson is stationed at the Tears of Bator base camp."

"So the only legendary combat powers that Gracia can rely on now, besides herself, are the Phantom Baron and the Loyalist Kalva."

"Phantom Baron needs to direct the battle. He has been on the other side of the battlefield for a long time and is not with Gracia. Once the war starts, he may be able to provide rapid support. We have to send people to intercept him."

"But more important is Kalva the Loyalist."

"Did you see the thin, silent man under the battle flag, wearing heavy shackles and harness?"

"He is Kalva."

"He is not a devil, but a human being from purgatory. It is said that Kalva was once a son of purgatory. However, he was betrayed by his compatriots and almost died in a certain crisis."

"It was the Queen of Desire who saved him, and after that, Kalva became Gracia's most loyal guard."

"I haven't figured out his profession yet. Kalva is very thin and his agility should be high, but he doesn't look like a rogue who takes a physical burst route or a fierce warrior who fights head-on.

He doesn't even have a shield at hand, and he doesn't look like a shield guardian.

His weapon is only a soft sword on his waist, and there is no aura of ether left on his body, so he doesn't look like a mage..."

Savrolla murmured and ruled out several career possibilities.

Then there was a helpless and unconfident expression on his face:

"I suspect his profession...maybe a bard or something?"

"Sorry, I don't understand why Gracia would find a poet as a guard. This is obviously inappropriate..."

Lorraine immediately retorted:

"The bard is a very versatile profession and can meet the needs of any position. Don't let prejudice blind you, Miss Snitch."

Savrolla stuck out her tongue, apologized in a low voice, and then added:

"The last thing is Gracia herself and the artifact she holds."

"I think the strongest area of ​​the Demon Queen is illusion, and she is lackluster in other areas."

"And the most threatening props in her hands are the Flag of Recruitment, the Palace of Wonders and the Eye of Baator."

"The flag of recruitment is placed in front of us. Since Mr. Matthew has confirmed that we can counterattack, there should be no problem."

"The Palace of Wonderful Gods is a treasure that the Queen of Devil found in a certain underground palace in the East Continent. It is said that it can greatly enhance her illusion ability, and it can also capture people's souls into a certain dreamlike fairy palace, making them immersed in the wonderful life of the fairy palace and unable to extricate themselves, and eventually become the nourishment of the Queen of Devil - in summary, we still have to be wary of attacks at the illusion level."

"As for the Eye of Batto, no one knows what the item is used for. There are some rumors on the market, but I think most of them are unreliable."

After listening.

Matthew expressed his gratitude to Safrola.

Afterwards.

The three legendary wanderers exchanged their observations again.

Matthew listened on the side.

Soon, based on the existing information, he improved the next action plan.

"Are you sure that Gracia is the real body?"

Matthew asked the three people.

Sener answered decisively:

"Sure."

Richard pondered:

"There is a 95% chance that it is the real body."

Safrola thought:

"It's hard to say, let's split it in half."

The other two looked at her with surprise.

"We have confirmed that the soul copper coin is real."

Richard reminded.

Safrola nodded:

"Yes, but this does not mean that the queen of lust must come in her real body. She may hang real copper coins on the fake body, and then the real body will become a maid or a male favorite. This is a very common routine, isn't it?"

Sener sneered:

"Devils are indeed hypocritical, but they rarely do unnecessary things."

"This time the demons marched very quickly, and even used the flag of conscription to recruit soldiers, which shows that Beckman's action is an emergency for them."

"I don't think Gracia will be in a state of being exhausted in preparing for the battle of Stuluk, and she will be able to make a fake body to cover up her tracks."

"This may avoid some risks, but the energy cost is too high."

"She should be thinking about how to kill Beckman at the moment, and she has no extra energy to consider other things. Believe me, no demon can resist the temptation of the reward from the will of the blood river!"

Richard glanced at Sener.

Although he seemed reluctant, he rarely agreed with Sener this time:

"I also think that Gracia doesn't have the extra energy to fight with potential enemies."

"The premise is that she doesn't know about our existence."

Matthew took a deep breath.

At this point.

He can only hope that the Blood River Will has not informed Gracia of its arrival.

After all, it's here.

It would be unreasonable not to do it to her once.

"According to the plan, the three of you will disperse to different locations near the Queen of the Devil, stay in stealth mode, and wait for my signal."

Matthew gave such an order.

The three of them sneaked away.

At this time.

Fei Liwen said that the temporary pulse device had been built.

So.

Matthew activated the guild spell "Shared Mage's Hand" and took out a palm-sized shriveled anemone and a crucible with a tortoise shell shape from the warehouse.

But just after he turned the crucible over.

He found that there was actually a small creature inside.

"Hello! Matthew!"

"I'm here to provide technical support for this device."

Astronaut Bubu said to him happily.

...
