The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0142 spying

Specter didn't dare to approach Misty Peak easily, there was an elite Lich team stationed there, any undead approaching without permission would be directly attacked.

Another 200 miles north from Misty Peak is my goal, the capital of the undead, but this 200 miles is the forbidden area of ​​life, the forbidden area of ​​the undead, and neither the panting nor the non-breathing are allowed to appear here. Responsible for the specific execution of this order is a group of undead knights, ranging from the fallen knights, dark knights, and horror knights at the bottom to the destruction knights at the top, and even the headless knight. Their leader is the 19th-level condemned knight Kenser.

As for the front area, Specter once enslaved a small ghost and then flew straight to the capital of the undead in mid-air, but was blocked by a headless horseman after only 50 miles in depth, and he slashed and killed without any explanation. It can be deduced from this that the 200 miles around the capital of the undead are monitored by a strict detection circle, and it is impossible to enter without permission. Afterwards, the ghosts conducted several tests. The enslaved low-level ghosts could not penetrate the ground or fly high, and they could not cross the 100-mile limit.

According to what Cassana told herself, the undead knights are only responsible for sweeping the outer 100 miles, and the defense within a 100-mile radius of the capital of the undead is in charge of the Lich and the bone dragon. It's a pity that the eyeliner didn't go that deep before it was snuffed out. It was impossible to verify the authenticity of this news, but anyway, the evaluation of tight defense must be admitted. Even a half-dead undead like myself can't get close to the capital of the undead, and those spies and eyeliners in the human world are even more impossible to hide from the eyes and ears of the undead, so how will they spy on the intelligence of the Undead Council?

Specter hesitated for a moment, then landed lightly on the ground. As her body trembled, a black substance seemed to spread out from the void, gradually engulfing her slender figure.

Wrapped in black crystals again, the ghost, who was still a little cute just now, immediately returned to its coldness and sharpness, and leaped towards Misty Peak with the help of the shadows everywhere.

The real ghosts are back.

Misty Peak is 50 meters high, and it is just a very ordinary hill. You can see it everywhere in the flat Morrord, if it is not for the continuous spout of thick clouds from a cave in the mountain , no one here will pay attention.

The ghost leaped along the foot of the mountain and lay still in the shadows near the entrance of the cave. After many years of intense negative energy washing here, the few sparse forests have all died, leaving only 2 feet high scorched black remnants that indicate their past existence. There wasn't much movement in the cave, but the ghosts who had been here many times knew that there were 3 liches and 5 ghouls inside, which was considered a standard guard team.

This is the information brought back after paying a ghost to die!

This will be a starting point for oneself, only through here can we continue to test the defense loopholes in the first 200 miles. Regardless of whether this loophole exists or not, you must find it yourself. If there is no loophole, then create one!

When to attack here, you have to wait for the master's message. After all, this is a fulcrum outside the capital of the undead. If you attack early, you will inevitably alarm the strong inside, but if you attack late, you will have less time left for yourself. up.

There was a slight sound from the entrance of the cave, and a sharp claw stuck out of the cave, and then it revealed its figure in the gushing thick fog. This is an ugly and ferocious monster, similar to a giant monster in appearance, crawling forward, with fangs and sharp claws, the original human flesh and blood have been eroded by negative energy into a pale mummy, only the exposed With tough muscles and bones, there is always an indescribable stench on his body.

ghouls.

The three ghouls got out of the cave one after another, shouted at each other a few words, and began to patrol along the mountain.

This kind of ghoul looks ferocious and cunning, but it is only for ordinary humans. If you put it in front of a ghost, a light stab can make it quiet forever. After all, the place where their brains and soul fires are located is too Lack of protection.

Therefore, it is not the 5 ghouls that Specter needs to check in advance, but the 3 ghouls. The power of a creature like a Lich varies greatly depending on its intelligence. A lich with independent intelligence can learn most of the necromancer spells and use them as a half-mage, while those puppet-type liches who only have instincts can only have 2-3 basic talent spells, a complete rookie .

Now that this place has been designated as the future advance base, Specter has to take a look, in case the wrong estimate will bring changes to the plan.

With a slight dodge, the ghost slowly moved into the cave amidst the mist. In order to avoid the special fluctuation of the shadow jump from disturbing the inside, she relied on her own invisibility ability this time.

The cave is not deep, except for a passage more than 10 meters long on the outside, there is a cave with a radius of 20 meters inside. At this moment, the cave was shrouded in thick fog, and ordinary people couldn't even see their own fingers here. The undead don't need vision, so don't count on the existence of lights here. In the middle of the cave, a continuously rotating magic circle is pumping out the continuous earth energy into the air. When the magic circle is running, the flashing magic aura illuminates the cave in an uncertain light and shade. , adding a bit of gloom.

The three corpse witches were sitting at the corners of the magic circle, silently absorbing the endless negative energy in the magic circle, and they had nothing to do with the outside world. Specter wandered around the 3 Liches for a while before letting go of his mind. They were all the lowest-level Liches, rookies who could only follow orders and instincts. This is also common sense, as long as they have some potential, how can they be dispatched to such a remote place where no shit, to do the guardianship work that low-level undead will do.

According to the master, the Undercity has also built a tomb for the Lich. From then on, I will command this high-level undead with the ability to cast spells. However, ghosts are very disapproving of this. These stupid guys are slow in movement and have a single ability to cast spells. They are known as dual cultivators of monsters.

However, the attack power of these ghost killers in the cemetery is too weak, and they did not perform well in the previous battles, so they are not valued by the master, and they have a tendency to be marginalized. If I came forward, it would not be a problem to get them all from the master, but they could only be spies. Being an assassin or a killer would not be as famous as my name. I really deserved that good name. How to make good use of them, I really need to think about it.

The ghost with an inexplicable mind is close to several corpses, and only she has such arrogant capital. After thinking about it for a long time, there is no result, You Ghost can only put these careful thoughts aside, and do the things that the master asked first!

The ghost slipped out of the cave again, carefully carved a miniature soul circle in an inconspicuous place at the foot of the mountain, and put in a soul crystal as an energy crystal. covered up.

If it were elsewhere, such a non-stop magic circle would definitely not be able to hide from the eyes and ears of many undead, but on this Misty Peak, there was a large magic circle in the cave to cover it, and the slight fluctuations here were perfectly covered up. Other undead dare not set foot on the Misty Peak easily, the ghouls in charge of patrolling the Misty Peak have no magic perception at all, and several corpse witches never leave the cave. Only by gathering these together can the magic circle be hidden.

The next task is to go around to the other side of the capital of the undead, which is almost a thousand miles away, and I only have 4 days, so I really need to hurry up.

...

Li Xun didn't stay idle in the Undercity. He recalled the Skeleton King early and made him stand by in the City of Eternal Night. The Butcher was on standby in the Undercity. The Gorefiend didn't have any tasks and could move freely. The target of all subsequent actions is against the undead, and the special ability of the blood demon is useless, so he can fly solo.

For the follow-up action, Li Xun also ran around day after day, buying a batch of urgently needed mana potions and any door scrolls through the Principality's Mage Association and major auction houses at all costs. In order to carry out the plan smoothly, Li Xun and Skeleton King met every day to discuss and deliberate on the specific details of the operation, possible countermeasures, and emergency plans under special circumstances.

Four days later, Specter, who returned as scheduled, brought further news.

First of all, she has successfully set up a hidden soul circle at a certain node on the opposite side, as an anchor point for jumping. Secondly, during the large-scale transfer process, the ghost discovered a special area with strong concealment, and sensed the breath of human beings in it. Fortunately, the other party was too guarded against the undead, and ignored her, a special creature between the spirit body and the shadow creature, which allowed her to snoop a little information.

Human beings, there is no doubt about this, and they are human beings with divine power.

Then there is the power of the church. Li Xun narrowed his eyes and carefully evaluated the impact of this variable on his subsequent actions. Fortunately, these magicians have a different entry point from his own choice, and so far they will not directly interfere with his plan. After all, I set up a foothold by relying on ghosts to infiltrate the group of undead, and these magicians rely on some kind of magic or items to avoid the detection of the undead, so most of them choose relatively remote areas, which are more remote than ghosts. The freedom of movement is much worse.

After thinking about it again and again, Li Xun decided to avoid these magicians. Although the group of mages is also superior, there are still some threads to follow. For magicians, Li Xun's eyes are really dark and he can't figure it out. In order to reduce variables, it is better not to touch.

On April 6, 1820 in the Klein calendar, the ghosts sent another news that a human mage appeared in a city south of the Undead Council, and it was said that the legendary lich was also rushing to the city.

Upon receiving this news, Li Xun immediately notified all the subordinates on standby, and the Raiders of the City of the Dead officially started.
