The Rise of the Cemetery

Thunder Fortress is a place of long battles. No one can know how many dead bones have been buried under the surrounding mountains and forests for thousands of years.

But today, a natural disaster of the undead was overthrown, and shambling zombies and skeletons with missing arms and legs could be seen almost everywhere in the jungle, and there were even a lot of ghouls.

These wild undead, who have just sprouted soul fire and newly born wisdom, wandered in the wild in a daze, unaware of the existence of themselves at all, but instinctively flocked to the place with the strongest negative energy.

When the Frost Dragon clung to the ground and passed thousands of ignorant zombie skulls, the cold wind brought by the azure blue ice wings swept down, directly freezing the undead creatures passing along the way into ice sculptures. The undead creatures a little further away stood there tremblingly, silently watching the top undead dragon disappear into the edge of the sky.

Li Xun looked back at the mass of undead being left behind, and his thoughts inevitably flared up again.

"We just sit idly by and leave all these undead to the Undead Union Council? These undead are now ownerless!"

With the current expansion speed of the cemetery, the basic cannon fodder units are no longer required. In addition to so many cemetery cities crawling outward every day, there is also a small plane in the abyss world full of mid- and low-level undead, which is the best source of low-level cannon fodder in the large cemetery.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the disgust of those bastards from the Undead Council, Li Xun would really look down on this group of "crooked melons and cracked dates".

This kind of work does not need Li Xun to do it himself. As long as he moved his mouth, the Skeleton King standing behind him naturally understood, and silently contacted Sybril who stayed behind in the Undercity. I believe that groups of low-level corpse witches from the cemetery will come across the border soon, and wipe out all the newborn undead here.

There's really no need to pack them up and take them away. Just branding them with a soul brand and sending them to the nearby Thunder Fortress to make trouble is enough for the Necromancers to be disgusted for a long time.

Although the speed of the Frost Dragon is not as fast as that of the Ghost Dragon and the Ghost Dragon, the distance of 50 miles is really nothing.

Flapping Frost Flower's wings, raising its neck and sending out a dragon chant that resounded through the sky, the Frost Giant Dragon carried Li Xun and Skeleton King proudly to Thunder Fortress.

Although Li Xun pointed out several times on the blueprints and read the historical books related to Thunder Fortress, he still has infinite emotions in his heart when he visits it in person today.

Such a majestic and majestic strong fortress has an inner radius of nearly 10 miles. The surrounding walls are towering, there are many watchtowers, and low parapets to block the enemy can be seen everywhere. The stones used in the construction of the fortress are all nearby materials, collected from the nearby mountains and forests, and huge blue stones are piled up to form the strongest and most majestic fortress city in human history.

It's a pity that when such a majestic fortress faces even more strange and terrifying superpowers, natural dangers are no longer natural dangers, and all things will eventually wither!

I don't know how the defenders of the fortress were stationed, so carelessly let the legendary liches release a simplified version of the undead natural disaster near the fortress. Could it be that when the Liches were preparing, the mages of the Association who assisted in the defense here became blind and deaf?

The real reason is unknown, but Li Xun knows the most direct consequence, because all these are in full bloom before his eyes.

Most of the magic buildings and magic defense buildings have been flattened by terrible spells. The inside of the fortress is full of raging flames, black smoke is everywhere, and terrible undead howling in the sky.

According to Li Xun's knowledge, before Thunder Fortress was attacked, besides the 100,000 Novus defenders, there were 30,000 to 40,000 civilians. You must know that this kind of place where the army has been stationed for a long time also has an extremely complete logistics maintenance system. Like a blacksmith shop for repairing war weapons, like a tavern for leisure and entertainment for soldiers, like a smuggler who smuggles in-demand supplies, like a female branch girl for soldiers to solve the problem of "loneliness"...

Adding up these bits and pieces, the entire Thunder Fortress has at least 150,000 permanent residents.

However, today, these 150,000 living people have turned into terrifying undead crawling all over the ground, covered in rotten sores. Due to the large number of fighters in the Thunder Fortress, the basic quality of the soldiers is generally high, so under the catalysis of the undead natural disaster, the undead they transform are generally several grades higher than the undead in the wild.

Skeletons are rare, and most of them are zombies with bruised and distorted faces. Ghouls with festering skin and pale flesh also account for a considerable proportion. Even middle-level black warriors and wights can see many few. From time to time, you can still see the figures of undead knights and corpse witches.

Vampires and banshees have never been natural undead produced by nature, but special alien species transformed and concocted by necromancers from laboratories.

Today's Thunder Fortress has been captured by necromancers, and nearly half of the city wall on the side of Morro Hed has collapsed, and the tide of undead is scrambling to pour into this dilapidated fortress-like city. And the newly transformed undead in the fortress are obviously out of tune with them. In many places where the necromancer can't manage, small battles broke out between the undead and the undead.

But on the whole, the necromancers have controlled the fortress, and only in sporadic places are still fighting. It can be seen that because of the existence of certain magic defense buildings, there are still humans inside that have escaped the transformation ceremony of the undead natural disaster, and relying on the last remaining terrain to resist the invasion of the undead.

Unfortunately, in Li Xun's view, their demise is already a matter of time!

Because the entire fortress is now completely filled with twisted and hideous undead, even if there are a few living people left in the fortress, they will soon be submerged in the endless tide of corpses.

However, under the background of thousands of people moving around inside the fortress, the magic tower at the core did not fall, and from time to time, thunderous lightning storms were triggered, burning the swarming undead into ashes all over the ground.

And on the periphery of the magic tower, groups of necromancers are wearing fluorescent magic shields, trying to attack the force field protection at the entrance of the magic tower. Bone spurs, bone spears, acid arrows, bursting fireballs all over the sky... corpses of undead, steel golems, and human limbs all over the ground...

It seems that the battle here has been going on for a long time!

Although the Legendary Lich was not seen at the scene, the core members of the Undead Council were all present, firmly controlling the situation on the battlefield. Not to mention anything else, just those seven holy rank liches are enough to calm the scene, not to mention there are more than half a hundred undead masters watching.

In fact, a year ago, the number of division-level members of the Undead Council could have doubled again, but the number of undead spellcasters at level 16 could reach a hundred. This is not counting those high-level undead creatures!

It's a pity that with the strong rise of the Great Cemetery, the middle-level backbone of the Undead Council has withered to this point due to unknowing fragmentation. In addition, even the big and small lords who supported the entire sea of ​​undead corpses lost more than 70%. If we don't take the opportunity to recuperate and replenish new blood, I am afraid that the so-called emerging force of the Undead Council will become a mangy dog ​​with its spine broken.

Although the necromancers were busy besieging the last "fortress" of Thunder Fortress that had not fallen, they were very alert to Li Xun's arrival.

Without any explanation, 5 out of the 7 holy rank liches carefully surrounded them.

In the current situation, the Liches of the Undead Council have long hated the Great Cemetery, and there is nothing to talk about. Under normal circumstances, the only thing you can do when you meet is to fight to the death.

But in today's situation, it is always a little inappropriate to start a war with the Great Cemetery before completely taking down Thunder Fortress.

Besides, the two who came here, they also know, one of the official cemetery legends with the appearance of the skeleton swordsman. And the other guy with black hair and black eyes, with an immature face as if he had just grown up, was an absolute big shot in the cemetery. I heard that he was once a registered mage of the Novus Principality Mages Association.

To be honest, even now, the liches have not figured out how the power structure of the Necropolis was established, and who is in power? Many old-fashioned liches believed that this young man should be an agent launched by a certain big shot, and that the guy behind the scenes should be that Psychic Angelet. However, some liches believed that even that Angelet might just be an agent, and that the Great Cemetery belonged to a powerful cross-plane undead force.

Perhaps only in this way can it explain why this large cemetery appeared so strangely and its rise was so unstoppable.

Not to mention anything else, the huge undead dragon that was stepped on by the young mage alone was not any kind of dragon they had ever heard of.

It obviously has a huge skeleton similar to a skeleton dragon, but in the gaps in the joints, in the huge chest and abdomen cavity, and in the tiny holes in the periosteal bone wings, there is a kind of icy blue color everywhere. . The crystal-clear frost covered most of the bones, but strangely, it didn't have any effect on the actions of the undead dragon, as if those hard, iron-like ice blocks were all illusory.

The soul fire of this ice giant dragon is actually pure white!

And with the expansion and contraction of the soul fire, the chill on its body also expanded and contracted slightly. The huge and narrow nose continuously spewed out extreme cold currents, and the temperature of the infected surrounding area dropped by dozens of degrees.

Although it was only the first time to see this type of weird undead dragon, the liches present were all masters of undead transformation, and they could tell at a glance that this was a powerful creature with both physical and frost attacks. Its frost breath is by no means inferior to the full attack of the Undead Master!
