The Rise of the Cemetery

(Thanks to o((⊙﹏⊙))o for the big red envelope reward!)

The Underdark has collapsed!

Even if such nonsensical things are said, the person who hears them will just dismiss them as boring drunken rants, let alone think about the feasibility of them.

Throughout the ages, since Klein's plane jumped to a medium-sized plane, except for the endless ocean, the entire land has been divided into two completely different worlds, the surface and the underground.

The surface is a bright world.

There is warm and warm sunshine, a bright full moon, obvious seasons, and a large area of ​​land suitable for farming...

And thousands of feet underground, it is not a dead place without life. On the contrary, in the deep and dark natural tunnels and artificially excavated tunnels and corridors, although it is silent, there are countless special creatures embracing the darkness.

It is their existence that brings vitality to the silent region of the Underdark.

However, on this day, on the day that Zerg demigod brazenly broke into the Holy Land of the Mind Flayer, the entire Underdark collapsed.

In fact, to be honest, what really collapsed was only the bottom layer of the Underdark. This is the dark lair where the mind flayers have been operating for tens of thousands of years. Countless psionic magic circles hidden in the rock formations and stone walls are densely packed and almost overwhelm the entire bottom layer.

This is also a plan specially arranged by the mind flayer mastermind for his possible enemies.

When the deep cave is no longer a barrier, and when the army of mind flayers cannot stop the enemy, the mastermind can brazenly detonate the entire psionic circle, causing the bottom layer of the Underdark to collapse, and then trigger a larger-scale stratum change. Therefore, only the area of ​​nearly a hundred miles centered on the mind flayer city collapsed, while the middle and upper layers of the Underdark region only caused large-scale landslides and dislocations due to huge stratum changes.

When the rumbling collapse finally stopped, the entire Underdark was completely changed and devastated. Numerous tunnels, tunnels, corridors, caves, caves, rifts... have undergone tremendous changes. The collapse that should collapse, the closure that should be closed, countless Zerg crowds crowded in the bottom of the ground were completely buried thousands of feet underground by the squeezed and deformed corridors.

Most of them died due to violent stratum changes, and even if there are some leftovers occasionally, it would be foolish to dig through the thick and hard rock, sandstone, and soil from thousands of feet underground. Becoming the nutrients that breed new biological chains in the underground world is their only ending!

Of course, the huge changes in the underground world have also affected the surface.

Right above the Mind Flayer City was the endless grassland of the Talanta Plain, so after the underground changes were over, a whole pit appeared in the Mulan Grassland of the Talanta Plain that stretched for thousands of miles. Numerous gaps, huge pits, fragmented land... All the human beings who witnessed this scene couldn't help bowing down to the terrifying power from nature!

While the human kingdoms and major forces on the surface are discussing and trying to send people to sneak into the ground to find the truth, the cemetery is busy with disaster relief at this time.

Not to save others, but to save yourself!

The mind flayer's mastermind attack is really ruthless enough. But it blew up underground without saying hello, which obviously also affected the main city of the cemetery hidden in the shallow surface of the Underdark region--Undercity.

The violent force of the stratum change is transmitted from the deep layer to the shallow surface layer, and the destructive power is not as great as before. But even so, countless tunnels collapsed, countless corridors were squeezed together again, and countless caves collapsed... The old roads were almost completely destroyed, and new roads were born among countless rifts and ruins. The Undercity is naturally not immune.

Most of the thick and heavy stone pillars supporting the huge cave space have been broken and collapsed, and the collapsed ceiling has also caused great damage to many magic buildings in the cemetery. All roads have disappeared, and the Undercity has almost cut off all connections with the outside world. Even the numerous portals were automatically closed due to drastic stratum changes.

If there is a great god who can draw the area around the Undercity and compare it with the previous one, you will be surprised to find that the entire Undercity area has sunk by 3 meters, and it has smoothed 16 meters to the northwest.

It is precisely because of the drastic change in location that the teleportation array and portal originally erected here cannot be used in a short period of time. Only after recalculating the new space coordinates of the Undercity can everything recover one after another.

This is the case in the Undercity guarded by magic towers, the location is relatively front, and the cemetery stronghold that was tested has suffered heavy losses. The huge shock wave collapsed all the space, and many creatures in the cemetery were squeezed into meat paste by the suddenly closed stone wall. Most of the underground expeditionary army that hadn't had time to set off was wiped out in an instant, but luckily the one that suffered the most damage was the 1.5 million ghoul army that had worked so hard to teleport.

Because the road was cut off, it was difficult to clear up the specific casualty statistics for a while, so Li Xun could only use the soul system to order Zena to organize self-help on the spot. Most of the cemetery creatures buried in the sandstone and rock formations are hard to survive, but some high-level units may survive. Therefore, rescuing them in time can reduce the losses caused by this "accident".

After the disaster relief work came to an end, Li Xun immediately called the senior management of the cemetery to hold a discussion meeting on the current situation in the plane.

This "natural disaster" in the underground world is so terrifying, the tens of millions of Zerg that poured into the ground must have all been reimbursed. But the question is, is that Zerg demigod also buried in the ground? If it really died, then the situation of the entire plane would undergo a huge change immediately.

From now on, the Necropolis will no longer have any allies!

In the past, the major forces in the Klein Continent were able to accept and tolerate the existence of the Great Cemetery purely because of the threat of the Ahn'Qiraj Zerg. After all, at that time, the mainland could no longer withstand an internal division. But what if the Zerg suddenly disappeared? I am afraid that the first one to turn against the Great Cemetery is the Mage Guild that is currently cooperating "happy".

The Mage Guild may tolerate the Undead Council, but it will never tolerate the Necropolis.

Even if the Undead Council harms mortals in the world, it still belongs to the ranks of spellcasters after all, and it is impossible to fundamentally oppose the mages. Moreover, most of the scourges of the Undead Council are those neutral countries that refuse the large-scale intervention of the Mage Guild. In the future, as long as the Mage Guild absorbs the core of the Undead Council again, wouldn't it mean that the Mage Guild has expanded in disguise!

It was precisely because of seeing the significance of the existence of the Ahn'Qiraj Zerg that the large cemetery led by Li Xun boldly showed its strength.

The Ahn'Qiraj Zerg wants to exterminate all creatures on the plane and turn Klein into a huge nest of Zerg. The Necropolis has similar ambitions. It's just that what Li Xun wants is a complete and beautiful Klein that maintains biological diversity, not a dying plane full of devastation and withering creatures.

If you want to create a plane of the undead, the abyss world has plenty of options. And what distinguishes a main plane from the lower planes is the variety of species and the abundance of resources. Therefore, transforming a main plane into a plane of undead is simply a stupid act of killing a chicken and taking eggs!

Therefore, if the Great Cemetery wants to absorb the blood of the enemy and grow, it must have a strong enough opponent. Li Xun knew very well that the Great Cemetery had to grow into a behemoth that they only dared to curry favor with, and dared not disobey, before all the native creatures in the Klein plane united to strangle him.

Otherwise, Arcane Empire is the best example of Necropolis.

Therefore, after analysis and analysis, the top management of the cemetery waited for a consensus.

The Necropolis needs Ahn'Qiraj!

Necropolis needs Ahn'Qiraj at least until they really grow!

So at this time, the one who is most concerned about the fate of the Zerg is the large cemetery that has been fighting fiercely with the Zerg.

According to the unanimous assessment of many cemetery staff, in this major incident, the probability of the Zerg demigod being pitted and killed underground is zero. This undoubtedly made Li Xun heave a long sigh of relief.

If the mind flayer mastermind's grand scheme to kill is aimed at ordinary legends, it may still have a certain chance of success, but if it is used to deal with a demigod, there is almost no possibility of killing the other party. The biggest possibility now is that the Zerg demigod is trapped in a certain area underground, where he is struggling to find a possible way to the surface.

Once the tone is set, the next thing that needs to be discussed is the work that needs to be done in the period after the Great Cemetery.

Many radical cemetery heroes clamored to take advantage of the blank period of the Zerg demigod's absence from the Elf Continent to attack the Zerg's nest and destroy the foundation of the Zerg's existence. But more dracolich opposed fiercely, and some of them even advocated that the necropolis should send a representative to find the Zerg demigod and discuss matters related to the alliance between the two parties.

From this we can also see the essential attributes of these dracolich. For them, there has never been any stand or principle that needs to be adhered to, and everything depends on interests. As long as the other party's price is high enough, there will be no psychological burden even if they shake hands and make peace on the battlefield.

Li Xun couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

These dracolich are good as staff officers and aides, but they are too short-sighted if they want to become the commander-in-chief of a party.

Their nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages often makes them only see the little immediate benefits, but ignore some long-term benefits. Just like the Ahn'Qiraj Zerg! What is the opponent's ultimate goal? It is to exterminate the entire plane and turn this place into a new nest of Zerg.

At this point, can Ahn'Qiraj and the Necropolis find common ground?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

This also put an end to the possibility of cooperation between the Necropolis and the Ahn'Qiraj Zerg.

Of course, the fantasy of more dracolich is just to fight with the Zerg, wait until they jointly defeat the local aborigines, and then get rid of them from behind.

But is this kind of blood licking action possible to succeed?

The Ahn'Qiraj Zerg was a terrifying race that ravaged the multiverse tens of thousands of years ago! Just give them a chance, and they can grow into giants faster than a necropolis. In the past, when there were no demigods, only a war brood that could give birth to cubs brought disaster to the elf kingdom.

Fortunately, the legendary raid organized by the Elven Kingdom came at the right time. Although they didn't have time to prevent the arrival of the Zerg demigods, they killed the war brood just right. Otherwise, with the combination of the Zerg demigods and the war brood, the Great Cemetery would not be able to find any advantage from them, and Li Xun could only sadly lead the Great Cemetery out of this doomed and hopeless Klein plane.
