The Rise of the Cemetery

In the early morning of the next day, Li Xun and the other three left the city of Eliata in light clothes.

Now that he has made up his mind that His Majesty Hansen is the main force in Elliott City, the matter of the Grand Master can only be handed over to Hansen to solve independently. The three of them no longer intervene, they just need to provide Hansen with enough follow-up support.

Taking advantage of one or two months before the "Spell Star Contest", Li Xun took his two daughters to try to deal with the chores in various places, and the most important thing is to conduct field inspections in various regions.

Speaking of Stratholme and Chaos Land, since the completion of Stratholme and Chaos Land, Li Xun has never set foot again. Although he also guided a lot of specific work through soul contact, he still couldn't get rid of the accusation of negligence.

At this time, I took a walk on the spot and found many novel changes.

With the addition of Arcane Tower and Issa, quest halls across Necropolis have also received a new look. In the past, in order to cooperate with the work of the mission Iron Man, Li Xun specially approved a group of skeleton zombie abominations as attendants. Although the work was done well, it always felt a bit nondescript.

Now the service personnel in these mission halls have all been replaced by arcane puppets. Even the mission halls have been redecorated, with a solid and clean moonstone floor, and many special reliefs have appeared on the walls. I know it's from Issa's handwriting.

Walking into it, you can completely feel the fantasy flavor coming to your face.

Just to take care of the photophobia of many low-level undead, the light in the hall is soft and dim, otherwise Li Xun would really think that he has come to the plane manufacturing plant in the starry sky laboratory again.

In line with the simple idea of ​​"do not use doubtful people, and employ people without suspicion", Li Xun has already planned to open the command assistance system of the cemetery system to these efficient and concise arcane intelligent bodies. But it's just an auxiliary system, the commander of the war is still, and can only be the heroes and mercenaries cultivated by the cemetery.

In this magical world of high magic and high energy, arcane wisdom cannot be regarded as a special kind of life form, so the necessary status must also be given to them, and they cannot be regarded as slaves, otherwise the crisis of "Skynet" may not be inevitable. will appear in another world.

As a result, the source of Li Xun's generals became more complicated. There were not only native heroes in the cemetery, but also foreign heroes who were enlightened halfway, and more of them were mercenaries who had been recruited. Get some awakened arcane intelligence.

Thinking of the future, when I waved my hand on the high platform, the demons and ghosts under the stage responded in unison. There were also elemental life forms such as earth element, stone giant, and fire element mixed in, as well as metal puppets that rattled every time they moved. Thinking about this scene is also drunk.

Siris is very interested in these novel changes, after all, these changes are quite suitable for human sensory enjoyment, and are the easiest for her to accept.

The first stop Li Xun came to was Stratholme.

This is currently the largest battlefield, and there are constant battles every day. Walking into the mission hall, you can clearly feel that there are not many idle mercenaries, and more of them come in a hurry, and leave in a hurry after receiving the mission, a scene of being too busy.

Li Xun connected his mental power to the task iron man, and the list of tasks he viewed was constantly scrolling and refreshing, but most of them were temporary tasks with high immediacy such as expeditions, rescues, raids, and destruction. Most of them are displayed in yellow that have been received, and the information of the recipient is also marked in the instructions behind the task.

Li Xun roughly sensed that the entire task list is dominated by red, yellow, and blue. Blue means that you can accept tasks that have just come out, yellow means that you have received tasks that are in progress, and red means some high-risk tasks. Usually these red high-risk missions are listed at the top of the list. Some mission targets are fierce and violent, and some missions turn from blue to red because the receivers failed one after another or no one took it for a long time.

Li Xun tried to find out a red mission that was at the top of the list. This was a dangerous mission that was close to red, and the mission object was a headless horseman of level 17. For such an object, probably only the regular army of the cemetery equipped with all elites can take it. It's a pity that the current Black Blade Knights and Mages are busy with conquest missions and can't spare any time, so they can only suspend this mission on the mission list.

After the last beheading of the 16th ghost lord, all the cemetery members understood that the huge gap between level 15 and level 16 is the gap between heaven and earth. As long as the threshold of level 15 is crossed, the creatures will experience earth-shaking changes, and they will experience a baptism from the origin to the essence, becoming a more advanced existence.

What the cemetery lacks is such a fierce combat power. Although many cemetery heroes have great potential, potential is only potential after all, and they still have to undergo the baptism of cruel reality before they can actually be transformed into combat power. Now the highest level among the heroes in the cemetery is Bloodfiend and Necromancer Plataya, who are both level 15, and they are still far away from level 16.

Although it has the advantage of level data, several joint thresholds still exist, such as level 11, level 16, and level 21 that may be encountered later. For those heroes and creatures with great potential, these thresholds can be passed in one line, but for some ordinary heroes, this is a natural moat that can kill people.

For example, the Skeleton King who has followed Li Xun for the longest time stumbled over the threshold of level 10 with the help of the evolution pool. As for the butcher, he is still stuck at level 10, with no sign of passing the level at all, and he wasted every day in the evolution pool for self-serving.

For these two heroes who followed him first, Li Xun also has some guilt. After all, I was ignorant at that time, and I was too formulaic in dealing with their soul templates, and I didn't have the flexibility of some of the heroes behind, which made their promotion slow and difficult.

However, the Skeleton King made up for part of the lack of potential through hard work, so he was able to move forward steadily, and the butcher, this lazy guy... Forget it, let him be a city defense hero!

For his level, Li Xun was also a little moved. They are already level 13, and there is only one step away from level 14, which is related to the presence or absence of the bone dragon, a 7th-level unit in the cemetery. But the current level difference is no longer as easy to improve as before. Li Xun was promoted from level 12 to level 13, but he led most of the cemetery elites to fight against human mages, drow, and mind flayers, and he took the lead, so he was promoted to level 13 so easily.

Now if he wanted to upgrade to level 14, he would probably have to launch an all-out war against a certain great lord in the undead world before he could go any further.

That's why he came to Stratholme to see if there was a chance to gain experience.

However, the east is not bright and the west is bright, and Stratholme is still in a dull stalemate, but news of the imminent war comes from the chaotic land.

Li Xun immediately took the two girls to jump through the portal and came to the 43rd floor of the abyss, the chaotic place in the cemetery city.

The continuous battle continued, and the demon wizard was always at the forefront, so even his level reached level 11, which made Li Xun feel more urgent.

After listening to the demon wizard's report, Li Xun had a brief understanding of the situation near the chaotic land. Thanks to You Nu's efforts, the plane lord's army has gone far away during this period, freeing up a relatively safe zone for the expansion of the cemetery city, so the demon wizard decided to attack some large nearby indigenous forces.

There are 3 targets selected by the demon wizard this time, all of which are indigenous forces within a radius of 500 miles that can threaten the cemetery city. One is the Wailing Caverns where the barghests are entrenched, the other is the Raging Canyon where the evil stone giants gather, and the last one is the lair of the snake devils.

Wailing Caverns, an underground cavern complex in the heart of the Barrens. This natural cave complex named "Wailing Caverns" is full of sulfur steam fissures, which emit a long wailing sound whenever they erupt. There have been a large number of dog demons entrenched in it for many years, there are more than 300 of them, and the leader of the dog demons is an elite monster of level 11. The difficulty of extermination mainly lies in the complex terrain. Once the opponent uses the terrain to fight a guerrilla, it will be a headache.

Raging Flame Canyon, Flame Rift consists of a series of volcanic caves, filled with many free-roaming evil stone giants, each of which is comparable in strength to a small hellfire. Their leader is a molten core giant, 12th level. The difficulty of extermination is that these stone giants can throw boulders, which have the effect of repelling and deterring.

The last snake demon lair is also a dangerous place. There are more than 30 snake demons in it, enslaving a large number of low-level demons as cannon fodder. High-end strength is a newly advanced 6-armed snake demon, level 14. To beat her, you have to be prepared for the terrifying scene where countless shining scimitars roll in like a whirlwind, and the loser is usually bruised.

These regional elite monsters are all specialties of the abyss world, and they all have amazing skills. If you don't make thorough preparations, you will suddenly fall into their encirclement, and your skin will peel off if you don't die. Li Xun was able to obtain such detailed information, probably because some mercenaries paid for it with their lives.

According to the side statistics of the mission Iron Man, the latest mercenary deaths in the two major battle areas, Stratholme and Chaos Land, are 10 and 21 respectively. The number of undead mercenaries who died in the land of chaos is more than twice that of the undead world. One of the main reasons is that the monsters here generally have higher intelligence, higher levels, and cruel nature. Once the team is lost in a pile of monsters, it is difficult to survive Rush out.

Therefore, even though the demon wizards in the chaotic land have repeatedly increased the quota of merit points, the number of undead mercenaries working here remains at 40-50, and there is no significant increase.

However, high risks also bring high rewards. The average level of the undead mercenaries who are struggling to develop in the chaotic land is higher than that of Stratholme by more than 1 level. Moreover, the undead who have devoured the flesh and blood of demons for a long time generally have physical and strength specialties, either "tenacity" that improves the body's resilience, or "defense strengthening" that transforms the hard layer of the body surface into scales, or short-term strength. The doubled "Rage", or the "Damage Reduction" formed by the mutation of flesh and blood...

Essentially, these undead have potential improvements. It seems that the "swallowing flesh and blood" of the undead is indeed a super-defying racial talent, which can transform the origin of undead creatures acquired.

Originally, the demon wizard planned to lead the regular army of the chaotic land to wipe out these elite abyssal creatures, but now that Li Xun came rushing over, these tasks naturally fell on him.

Li Xun led the two girls to select an elite cemetery troop, and under the guidance of the local snake corpse king, they went straight to the nearest Wailing Cave.
