Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 90 The wind rises, blows even more, skeleton rain

What is the most difficult thing in the world?
I believe that for many people, the answer to this question should be: "Let the unscrupulous web writer who wrote half of the cruel eunuch's broken limbs renew his limbs and realize a medical miracle!"

But a large part of the mages in the Haven Continent will give another answer:
The most difficult thing in the world is "transmitting objects"——

Yes, with the progress of the times, all kinds of magic categories are constantly being explored and discovered by endless talents;

To this day, even the strange effect of "driving corpses" can be achieved by necromancers with the help of magic - and Xiahou Daguan (and a low-key staff member surnamed Yan) flashed on the mainland with a thunderbolt. After the debut, the imperial magic world has even truly achieved the restoration of the soul.

But after thousands of years of cloud change, a key problem that the imperial magic research community has not been able to solve completely is precisely how to use magic spells to achieve long-distance object transmission!
Buy a cup of milk tea on the streets of Changsha, recite a simple magic spell in your mouth, and in a blink of an eye, you can teleport to People's Square to eat fried chicken, and travel to Beihai Mu Cangwu...

"Space teleportation" is simply the ultimate fantasy of any carbon-based creature about "magic" - and even more so for those migrant workers who suffer from being unable to get up in the morning and hate catching the bus and crowding the subway!
In fact, as early as the initial stage of the empire, the legendary female archmage, "The Shining Star" Dolores Papanicolao, in her world-famous "Compendium of Magical Studies", proposed the so-called "magic" Research on the top ten problems", and the problem of "long-distance transmission" is also among them.

For today's magic world, the propositions of "element conversion", "metal enchantment", "dispersion element concentration measurement" and other propositions in these "ten problems" have been conquered one by one by magic scholars who have been deeply studied in history. As a result, the title of the thesis on the magician's desk has been left, and it has become an inconspicuous text annotation on the "History of Magic" textbook;

But only "long-distance object teleportation" is still bothering magic researchers with sparse hair on the top of their heads to this day——

This is largely due to the fact that the essence of most spells in the world at present is to use the chanting of ancient Aeolian rune incantations to resonate with specific magic elements, so that magicians can control magic and achieve Various magical effects;

And none of the existing magic elements have the ability to "teleport objects to another location".

According to the theories of some magic scholars, the so-called "long-distance teleportation" has actually touched the fundamental laws of time and space on this plane, which is completely beyond the scope of the role of magic elements in the general sense:
Trying to use magic to achieve teleportation is as absurd as trying to cook with a "Principles of Economics" textbook!
However, the magic scholars of the empire for nearly a thousand years have indeed used their hard work to prove that they are not incompetent people who are only ashamed and helpless, and still waste the official family to press the wine bag.

This group of scholars, who receive the official salary of the Magic Association every month, actually saved the country in front of the desk, and came up with several realization methods of "spatial teleportation"——

One of the most well-known methods in the Empire is the so-called "Teleportation Array".

This great invention originated from an unknown and low-key array mage more than 100 years ago: At that time, it was at a historical turning point when the research on spells tended to be mainstream and the inheritance of array mages tended to decline, but this array mage actually relied on "teleportation The invention of the "magic circle" has set off a small upsurge in magic circles!

The effect of "Teleportation Array" is very simple:
First, set up a magic circle at two places, and then let the person to be sent stand on one of them, and the magician will supply magic power to the magic circle at the two places at the same time. Then, the person to be sent will be activated. Teleport to the location of another magic circle!

In addition to the defect of being limited to a fixed position, the "Transportation Array" developed by the Array Master can be said to be a real realization of space teleportation that should be theoretically impossible!
However, the "Teleportation Array" has not been widely popularized;
The reason is very simple: the key to the "Teleportation Array" being effective lies in the inlaid, pigeon-egg-sized black "spatial rough stone" that must be inlaid at the position of the array eye.

Magic scholars speculate that it is this extremely mysterious magic mineral that has not yet been fully analyzed that provides the "Transportation Array" with the ability to travel through space that ordinary magic elements cannot do!

It is precisely because of the introduction of "spatial stone" as an energy source that the magician who can construct a magic circle using various heaven and earth treasures is better than the magician in the problem of teleportation.

But the problem is precisely that "space rough stones" are too rare!

If it is said that elven plants and magic metals can only be regarded as rare and scarce general valuable resources on the market, then the "spatial rough stone" is simply a rare and ancient fetish that is only known by its name in legends but not seen in reality——

This natural mineral cannot be made artificially, and can only be found in deep mines by sheer luck...

Even an empire with an extremely developed mining industry has only mined two and a half "space rough stones" in its thousand-year history.

Among the only two half-rough stones, half of them are locked in the highest-level laboratory in the academy for research;
The remaining two were led by the genius array mage, who built a teleportation array in the imperial capital and the former eastern town "Thorn City", thus building a space channel connecting the east and the west!

In the heyday of the empire, a large number of troops and supplies used this group of teleportation circles every day to shuttle between the two places!
Even the civilian merchants of the empire can experience the thrill of space teleportation after paying an expensive ticket of [-] gold coins!

The establishment of the "Imperial Capital - City of Thorns Transmission Channel" has even greatly reduced the cost of logistics and transportation between localities, directly stimulating the economic development of the empire, and creating the so-called "Golden Decade" where the family is full of people and the country is prosperous.

Unfortunately, this teleportation channel was not used for long, and the city of thorns was captured and occupied by the orc army of the Glorious Federation;

The "Age of Blood" that ended the "Golden Decade" has come, and since then, the two teleportation circles that belonged to the two countries and cannot be activated have also been completely silent, and are deeply buried in the dust of history.

Unlike the teleportation formation that utilizes the original stone of space, bypasses the limitations of magic elements, and truly realizes space teleportation, the second and oldest method used by imperial magicians to achieve space teleportation is actually a bit opportunistic:

This method is called the "Lewis Traversal Mantra".

——Please don’t misunderstand, the so-called “traversal” that truly crosses the dimension and comes to another world to seize the house and restart life is generally the innate skills of the protagonists of web articles and light novels, far beyond the scope of the ability of imperial magic;

The "traversal" of "Lewis Traversal Spell" actually refers to "space crossing"!
This special word, which is different from "transmission" in the traditional sense, has actually revealed a little bit of the mechanism of action of "Lewis Traversal Spell":

Very similar to "Shadow Stealth", its actual function is to project the casting target into a secondary plane——

In this special plane, everything moves faster: unimaginably fast, even faster than an avid reporter who smells the news!
Therefore, the role of this spell is to first let the casting target enter the secondary plane in a certain place, move to the corresponding position in another place at an impossible high speed in reality, and finally leave the plane and return to the main world, so as to achieve a A teleportation effect similar to "teleportation".

This is similar to the process of "Shadow Stealth" projecting people to the shadow plane to achieve invisibility!

However, to the deep regret of the magicians, this mysterious high-speed plane seems to exclude all living creatures from the main plane, and its structure is also extremely unstable;

Therefore, the "Lewis Traversal Magic Spell" is not only an extremely difficult and highly demanding grandmaster-level magic, but also can only achieve short-range teleportation over a distance of [-] kilometers, and only works on inanimate objects within a certain weight.

However, the genius idea of ​​"Lewis Traveling Magic Spell" using plane travel and disguised transmission effects still makes the imperial magicians regard it as one of the greatest magical inventions in history;

In several important events in the history of the empire, "Lewis Crossing the Magic" has played a key role in the emergency transportation of military supplies, tokens and even the imperial crown, and it has written a strong stroke in the annals of history!
And because this spell was invented very early, even Simon Adrian treasured a magic scroll of "Lewis Crossing the Spell" in his laboratory.

This time, the Lord Lord was the one who walked into the Moon God Village with this scroll in his arms.

This sinister and cunning traveler scum has been brewing a genius-like evil idea since he snatched this scroll from Master Laurie:
That's right, the "Lewis Crossing Spell", which cannot transmit living objects, can only be used as an emergency courier in most cases. Compared with the difficulty of casting and the consumption of magic power, it is really a bit tasteless;

However, the skeleton soldiers resurrected by the undead spell are not considered "living objects", right?

——Since there is no life, the "Lewis Traversal Spell" is obviously capable of teleporting skeletons!

The Xiahou high-ranking officials, who are under the banner of first rituals and then soldiers, naturally cannot follow a group of disgusting skeleton soldiers behind their backs and run to the Moon God Village to negotiate;
But this doesn't mean that after the negotiation breaks down and the table is turned upside down, he can't send a skeleton army to the inner center of the Moon God Village to bloom!
As for the source of these skeletons?
Not far from the Moon God Village, there is a mass grave left after the bloody battle. There are all kinds of corpse resources!
Under the circumstance of using only the corpse of the thief as much as possible, letting the dead of the Igor family rest in peace, and taking into account the upper limit of the carrying capacity of the "Lewis Traversal Spell", Xia Houyan still used "Necromantic Spell Essentials" to pull up nearly three hundred Only, enough skeleton minions that can last four or five days:
This temporary army of skeletons has always been lined up at the mass graves, waiting for orders at any time. As long as the Lord Lord tears the scroll, the magic weapon will immediately descend from the sky——

You must know that the distance between the Moon God Village and the Mass Burial Mound is far less than the [-]-kilometer radius of the magic circle!
So, at the same time that the bandits and the warriors of the Igor family started a close fire in the main hall of the Moon God Village, as Xia Houyan silently tore open the "Lewis Crossing Magic Spell", violent magic fluctuations began. It reverberated on the Moon God Village Square outside the main hall!

At first, the bandits in the square thought it was the wind.

As a result, they neither turned their youth into her, nor did their fingertips pop out of midsummer, but stared at nearly [-] terrifying and terrifying skeleton soldiers, caught off guard and broke into their smiles!

The most terrible thing is that due to the instability of "Lewis through the spell", not all skeleton soldiers appear on the ground!

A considerable part of the skeleton soldiers suddenly flashed in the sky dozens of feet with the sound of "forcing oil", and then, like the sword of Damocles that suddenly fell, and the little boy falling towards Hiroshima, they moved towards the Moon Godzhai Square as fast as possible. smashed!

So, what caused the first wave of damage was really not the bone fists of the skeleton soldiers on the ground, but the gravitational potential energy of these airdropped skeletons;
Fortunately, after stripping the flesh and blood, the skeleton soldiers that fell from the air had limited weight, so they did not smash the unfortunate thief into meat sauce;
But no matter how strong and strong a man is, after being hit by such a high-altitude falling object without any precautions, the first reaction is not to seek legal assistance from the "Property Law", but to lie on the ground and completely lose the ability to move;

And when all the skeleton soldiers landed on the ground and the thieves who recalled their memories tried to start a counterattack, this cottage square, which had gone through countless offensive and defensive battles, witnessed the most outrageous battle since its establishment!
In terms of absolute strength, the skeleton soldiers summoned by the high officials of Xiahou are far inferior to zombies with a higher rank of undead, and are far from the well-trained thieves of Moon God Village;
What's more, in order to meet the weight limit of the "Lewis Crossing Spell", they are still castrated lite versions without any weapons and protective gear!
So, when the thieves of Moon God Village slashed at the skeleton soldiers with axes, swords and swords, they did have a powerful effect:
Human bones are not that hard after all, and the full blow of the bandits is enough to smash the hands and feet of the skeleton soldier, and when it happens to hit the joint, it is not a problem to remove an arm, leg and foot;
——Aren't the advantages of undead creatures "more" and "indestructible"?

If a human soldier had an arm chopped off with his shoulders and elbows, not to mention whether he would lose too much blood and die, just the severe pain from the nerves in a short period of time could make him lose the ability to fight, rolling on the ground;

What about the Skeleton Soldiers that can be summoned by Necromancer?
Not to mention an arm and a thigh, even if their limbs are completely broken, as long as the part of the skull where the ghostly magic is gathered remains intact, it will still open its mouth and use its broken teeth to bite Form continues to attack!
And if such difficult skeleton soldiers are multiplied by the number of three hundred...

In the face of such an army of undead, the thieves of the Moon God Village, who were blooming in the center of the enemy and could not even use the defensive equipment in the cottage square, soon fell into a rout!
If these [-] skeletons were attacked from outside the village, and the fortifications of the Moon God Village were extremely solid and complete, they should have been able to kill them one by one with ballistas and sharp arrows.

But even the designer of Moon God Village never imagined that someone would be able to teleport an army into the cottage!

Through the organic combination of necromantic magic and the "Lewis crossing spell", Xiahou officials created a strange method of warfare that has never appeared in the history of imperial warfare:
Use your body as bait, go deep into the enemy camp, and then drop explosives inside the enemy base to bloom in the center!
Although Knight Commander Cousins ​​has always advocated peace negotiations, Xia Houyan has never voluntarily given up his plan to use force—

A scroll of "Lewis Crossing the Spell" and the three hundred skeleton soldiers who are ready to go are his most important bargaining chips on the game table!
