The Rise of the Cemetery

The fortress defenders were not helpless.

The powerful and sharp crossbow arrows, not only cannot bring the slightest damage to the ghosts and resentful souls flying all over the sky, but instead bring unexpected stray bullet damage to their own people when they pass through the body. However, those powerful fighters with a level above level 5 usually have the ability to use grudges. They use their grudges on the weapons in their hands, which can often cause huge damage to the spirit bodies that pass by.

Every one or two hundred meters above the city wall, there will be a strong and unusually strong battle castle tower. Most of the mages accompanying the army hid here, throwing colorful magical spells at the spirit bodies flying around through the lookout opening on the wall.

For these spiritual bodies without the protection of thick carrion and tough bones, even a small spell of the first level can bring them terrifying damage.

The ghosts and ghosts who suffered heavy casualties immediately swarmed into these towers and battle fortresses, but unfortunately, the weird runes painted on the walls prevented them from penetrating through the walls as before, and the only entrance to the battle fortress was blocked. The vindictive middle and lower-level officers guarded firmly.

As a result, the spirit bodies all over the sky could only coil and howl around the battle castle with endless resentment and remnants, madly attacking the defensive line composed of human fighters.

The howling and laughing ghosts, the roaring and shouting of human warriors, accompanied by the scattered aura before the spirit body disintegrated, and the frozen corpses of human beings with cold bodies and distorted faces all over the ground, the whole fortress was filled with such tragic scenes. battle scene.

Whenever there are too many corpses hoarded under the walls of the fortress, the defenders of the fortress will throw clay pots from the top of the city. These clay pots were not strong, and they smashed into pieces on top of the wriggling and climbing corpses during their fall, pouring out a foul-smelling, pungent, sticky black liquid.

Immediately afterwards, the defenders at the top of the city threw down torches one by one.

As soon as these open flames came into contact with the black liquid on the mummy, they exploded into a pillar of fire that soared to the sky, and soon followed the flow of the black liquid to burn all over the pile of corpses.

Although these undead creatures, such as mummies and zombies, do not feel pain, but as undead creatures, they are naturally afraid of strong light and flames. Therefore, the pile of corpses that were still wriggling and rising just now collapsed in an instant, and countless zombies that had turned into burning men rolled down screaming with soaring flames.

In almost the time of a cup of tea, the horrible pile of corpses that were almost level with the fortress wall just now turned into a large open-air barbecue. Countless flames spread wantonly among the corpses. Looking around, the ground was full of scorched corpses rolling and howling. The pungent burnt stench made people's brains ache. It looked like a horrible scene of scorching hell. .

However, at this time, it is also the time when high-level undead are most likely to appear.

A vampire with a pale face, sharp fangs and the ability to transform into a bat; a high-ranking banshee with a gorgeous face who can transform into a terrifying female ghost at any time; mixed among the corpses, and casts a sinister attack on the city. The hateful lich of the death cloud technique; the shadow assassin who hides in the boundless shadows and assassinates the middle and low-ranking officers of the fortress defenders everywhere...

On the front wall of the entire Thunder Fortress, the sound of fighting and shouting has never stopped, and terrible killings can be seen everywhere. From time to time, whenever there are too many high-level undead rushing to the top of the city, thunder clouds can be seen in the city's magic tower, and the fire clouds are rolling. All kinds of powerful range spells descended from the sky like the power of the gods, killing all the undead near the city wall.

The offensive of the undead is temporarily contained!

And this time is often the moment when the defenders of Thunder Fortress can breathe a sigh of relief, and it is also a good time for the soldiers to change their defenses.

The magic eye is hidden in the high void, and has a panoramic view of the battle below.

Because of standing high and seeing far, Will Dao was able to grasp the overall situation of the battle more clearly when he went to the division. In his field of vision, the battles that took place at his feet just now were not really sieges by the undead, but just a "friendly match" between the front end of the terrifying corpse horde and the human defenders.

Under the scanning of the eyes of magic power, the front of the entire Thunder Fortress stretches to infinity under the dark sky, and the dark crowds of human heads occupy the entire field of vision. Countless horrific zombies in ragged clothes and filthy bodies huddled into dense fleshy lumps, and under the command of an invisible consciousness, they staggered towards the Thunder Fortress.

And among them, the Eye of Magic can also scan a middle-to-high-level undead with a tall and strong body and a strange shape from time to time. They are like the backbone and command nodes of this group of corpses. It is because of their existence that the entire corpse tide becomes so organized and orderly.

Regarding this point, the high-level mages stationed in the Thunder Fortress certainly knew it well, but they no longer dared to organize and use flying skills to target and eliminate the commanders in the corpse tide. The terrifying mass of low-level ghosts coupled with the sinister and cunning necromancers are enough to overwhelm those human mages who dare to enter the range of the corpse tide.

The siege of the city has not really started yet, but the unconscious and spontaneous attack of the corpse tide has already exhausted the fortress defenders, which made Will even more optimistic about the future of the fortress under his feet.

The natural moat may still be the natural moat, but in the face of the powerful gathering of evil forces, the strong fortress that humans talk about is just a small wave wrapped in the horror of the tide of corpses. Perhaps with one powerful charge, this super strong fortress that has stood for hundreds of years will be silently annihilated in the boundless tide of corpses.

At this time, the defensive methods of humans can only reduce the density at the front of the corpse tide and delay the speed of the corpse tide, and the only thing that can kill the corpse tide on a large scale is the range spell of the mage group. However, thinking that a few legendary undead liches might be hiding somewhere in the corpse tide, even the star mage Katie Enni dare not easily step out of the protection range of the fortress magic tower, let alone those who are only benefited. The mages of all ranks who came here are tempted.

Among these mages, only a small part of them were from Novus. Most of them either couldn't stand the dominance and dominance of the Mages Guild, or came to them because of the various preferential treatment given to mages by the Principality of Novus.

For them, it is indeed a pity to lose such a free and generous benefactor as Novus. But if this freedom and privilege need to be exchanged with their lives, then they don't mind becoming wandering mages again and living a life of wandering.

So it is still possible to let them fight against the terrifying corpse tide according to the natural danger. But once they want to organize them, break away from the protection of the magic tower of the fortress, and fly to the terrifying corpse tide to throw spells, this is beyond their tolerance, and many association mages will even directly resist orders.

Although human mages have always been famous for their intelligence and wisdom, they have never been associated with bravery and perseverance!

In their view, such things as glory, faith, and bravery are false words used to fool those big guys into taking risks, while a real mage should be intelligent, elegant, wise, and know how to avoid danger at the critical moment of life and death. minded people.

Therefore, at the critical moment of life and death, when the victory or defeat is not yet decided, the "smart" mage will always leave a group of meat shields, abandon the scorching battlefield of bloody fighting, and "run away" by himself.

This is a long-standing glorious "tradition" of the mage group!

Will Dao went to stand on the small platform on the top floor of the magic tower, and casually extinguished the spiritual connection with the magic eye in the distance. When the bloody battlefield in the distance disappeared from the sea of ​​spirits, he couldn't help but sighed sincerely.

He is very clear about his mission.

In fact, the main goal of Novus and his party this time is a few outstanding mages in the Mage Association who are worth fighting for. In addition, almost all "victims" have been abandoned.

The current plane of Klein is precarious, and even the largest mage guild is facing challenges from many powerful forces, whether overt or covert. Under the current situation, it is imperative to send a sufficient expeditionary force to support the Elf Continent. After all, this is a top priority matter related to the safety of the entire plane.

Therefore, how to choose between rescuing the Elf Continent and rescuing Novus is an individual's decision.

Under such circumstances, the Mage Guild was eager to appease the slightly restless Legendary Liches. After all, when the Mage Expeditionary Army is away, the base camp in the rear can no longer turn over the plate.

Even if the legendary liches occupy Novus, if they want to completely digest and absorb such a huge territory, they probably won't be able to stir up wind and rain within three to five years. Wouldn't this just free up time and space for the Mage Guild to rescue the Elf Continent!

Therefore, at the Seven Rings meeting, the legendary mages had already made the final decision to abandon Novus early on.

From the Grand Duke Novus down to the barefoot farmer, almost all of them are "consumables" that have been predetermined by default, and they have become a tool for them to stabilize the legendary Lich. As for abandoning the meaning represented by Novus, it is not something they need to think about at all.

Is this a problem? Is this a problem? Is this a problem?

This is not a problem!

Maybe only a few mages care about the millions of lives in Novus, but unfortunately...they don't have the right to speak in the organization of the mage guild, and of course they don't have the right to make decisions.

The star mage, who controls all the authority of the magic tower, knows every move of Master Will. As for the implication behind the other party's trip, Mage Xingchen is also well aware of it.

But even though he knew all this, Master Xingchen was still a little reluctant to let him easily give up the foundation that he had worked hard for hundreds of years in Novis.

He is an out-and-out Novisian, and he is also a protector mage who has been enshrined by the Principality of Novus for three or four hundred years. Whenever there is a chance, he is not willing to give up this familiar country and go to the muddy and oppressive organization of the Mage Guild to watch other people's faces and live.

Sitting quietly in the secret room, a resolute sternness appeared on the old and gloomy face of Mage Xingchen.

It's time for a decision!

With a wave of the robe, the light and shadow around him changed, and the star mage appeared in front of a mysterious secret room on the top floor of the magic tower almost instantly.

The door was activated with a magic word, and Katie Ernie stepped into it.

One table and one chair.

The whole secret room is not big, only ten square meters in size, and the furnishings inside are extremely crude.

But at this moment, there is a "person" sitting in the secret room.

A treacherous dracolich with sharp eyebrows and mouse eyes!

"I want to hear what you brought again!" Katie Ernie stared at the dracolich sternly, after a long silence, she finally spoke.

A smile appeared on the dracolich's lizard-like sharp and thin cheeks, and he quickly bowed and saluted.

"Master Angelet asked me to bring you a message..."
