Throne of the Warlord

Chapter 119 Upheaval
There is no way, it is very difficult to run outside, and the mage city-state will never let him leave, so there is only another way.

The base was built on the edge of the underground space, built against the stone wall, dug into the stone wall from the side of the room, and collected all the soil dug out with the space in the palm, and then combined the stones to plug the caves that had passed.

Then use the fossil-to-mud spell to turn these stones into soft mud, and then hammer hard to deform and expand the soft mud, and then turn the mud into stones, and the expanded stones get stuck on the unevenness caused by excavation.

Don't ask how to breathe, the space in the palm is so large, it can hold enough air for them to survive for more than a week.

In a week, how can we dig to a depth of two or three kilometers.

With the complex structure of the ground, there are passages of different sizes everywhere, as long as you are not too unlucky, you can always dig through.

Of course, it's not a big problem if you can't dig through it within a week. For Li Qing, who has the blood of the ancestor ancient dragon, breathing is not necessary.

Breathing is a habit, but not necessary.

In the mage city-state, eight hours after Li Qing left, the mage tower monitoring him found something was wrong, and immediately sent people to check, only to find an empty temporary barracks.

Several hounds circled around the barracks for several times, not only did not find anything, but they were frightened when they entered the study where Li Qing was staying, feeling the residual ancient dragon breath.

When Li Qing left, he cleaned it very cleanly, and the stone slabs were tightly fitted and filled. Even with a hammer to test it, the sound of the stone wall he excavated was no different from other stone walls.

A group of mages plowed the entire barracks with spells, including breaking open all the stone slabs on the ground, and found no abnormalities.

It wasn't until the angry old mage used an earth-shaking technique in disregard of the taboos of the underground space that the stuck stone pillars were dislocated and abnormalities were discovered.

But the discovery belongs to the discovery, and it is not easy to catch people.

They can't dig rocks like Li Qing does like digging mud. They need to send a large number of mages to use fossils as mud to soften the rocks, and then send people to dig.

Ordinary mages have a limited volume of fossilized mud, and need to constantly cast spells and dig. The efficiency of a group of mages is not as high as that of Li Qing and Long Fa.

In eight hours, Li Qing had dug hundreds of meters deep, and it was basically impossible for them to catch up.

The core mage tower, the observatory.

Speaker Carnovino sat in the center of the observatory for a long time after receiving the news of Li Qing's disappearance. A few middle-aged and elderly mages who were his students stood silent outside the observatory. There was an eerie silence on the platform.

At this time, Speaker Carnovino was older than before, he was more old-fashioned, and his figure was more stooped.

After an unknown amount of time, Carnovino suddenly let out a long sigh, and a hoarse voice sounded from the observatory:
"Why did he leave without saying a word? In fact, we can still talk!"

After a while of silence, the hoarse voice sounded again:
"Lost this opportunity, I have no choice!"

All the masters and students were silent, they all knew what the teacher meant.

"Then, get ready to start!"

With thin hands, he took out a scroll from his sleeve and spread it out. Through the starlight, he could see a few words written on the scroll - Lich Transformation Ceremony!
Time passed, and a week passed quickly. Li Qing continued to dig for a whole week. The total length of the excavated tunnel was probably four to five kilometers, but he did not find any end.

So he didn't have a head iron, quickly changed direction, and excavated to the left.

After another five days of continuous digging, and another three or four kilometers, the exit was still not reached.

"So thick?"

Li Qing was speechless.

Fortunately, he didn't need to breathe at this time, and the others would have suffocated to death.

No way, continue to turn and change direction.

In the days that followed, he kept changing direction and digging forward, and a month passed before he knew it.

And on the day he spent a whole month digging, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in the mage tower at the center of the mage city-state, and the huge explosion burst through the wall of the mage tower and sprayed out.

Just when the whole city was looking at the center of the city in surprise, the four elemental energy balls on the surface of the central mage tower suddenly shrank inward and merged into the tower. Flock in all directions.

The city-state city hall near the mage tower was instantly submerged, and then a large number of mages working in the city hall fled. Many mages shouted in disbelief:

"This is impossible!"

But the tide of death did not stop because of this, but followed them at a super fast speed.

The mages blessed themselves with defensive spells one after another, but the civilians of the city-state did not have this ability. They were swept away by the tide of death, and soon their faces turned blue and fell to the ground.

After a while, the fallen body began to shake violently, and soon stood up unsteadily.

The upheaval in the city shocked the apprentices of the war lord gathered outside the city, even too shocked, and didn't know how to react for a while.

"What the hell is this horse riding?"

Zhang Chun put his head in his hands, his face full of shock and bewilderment.

The front was resisting the natural disaster army, but the backyard caught fire, which made them at a loss for a while.

Fortunately, there is a quick response, and immediately notify everyone on the Shenyu LAN:

"It's bad news. Speaker Carnovino, one of the three speakers of the mage city-state, has completed the lich transformation ceremony and has officially transformed into a lich. He has seized control of the core mage tower and cast the nine-ring spell Undead Scourge."

"Kanovino probably has converted this spell into a hero spell, and after the addition of the core mage tower, its power is no less than that of a legendary spell."

"Everyone immediately summoned the frontline troops to retreat and gather in Zhong Haiying's God's Domain."

Zhang Chunyi immediately woke up, quickly summoned his men, and ordered the heroes under his command to go to the front line to summon his own troops to fight on the front line.

However, the changes in the city-state have already affected the frontline battlefield. Today's Scourge Corps' offensive is extremely fierce, and with the withdrawal of a large number of mages belonging to the Chancellor Carnovino, the frontline is on the verge of collapse.

When many war lord apprentices summoned troops to retreat, the battle line that had been struggling to support collapsed completely, and countless undead troops rushed to the entrance of the passage and began to attack the city.

If it was placed in the past, at this time, the mage towers in the city can use their strength to directly bombard the undead army at the entrance of the passage.

In the past, the undead army was suppressed with the combined efforts of more than twenty mage towers.

But this time there was a change in the city, not only the core mage tower would not take action, but it was still suppressing other mage towers, resulting in no one to support.

The high city wall only lasted for a day before it was destroyed head-on by the tide-like army of undead.

A large number of abominations with a height of seven or eight meters, or even ten meters, rushed to the city wall, hammering continuously with chain hammers in their hands, smashing the city wall open.

Once the city wall was broken, a large number of undead poured into the underground space where the city-state was located.

The apprentices of the war lord gathered in Zhong Haiying God Realm turned green when they saw this scene.

"rider"

"What should I do, run away!"

"Where to escape, the only few exits have been blocked, and the portal has also been closed."

"What should I do?"

"I remember that there are several small passages. Large troops will definitely not be able to enter and exit, but they can accommodate small groups of troops to enter and exit."

"It's too early to say, where is it?"

"On the other side, we need to make a detour."

"Then lead the way quickly."

Then someone asked:

"what about me?"

Everyone was suffocated, and a few people said:

"Give up God's Domain!"

Speechless for a while.

No one paid attention to him, and no one could take care of him at this time. The troops of the crowd quickly assembled outside the city, preparing to detour to the other side of the city-state.

Halfway through the journey, the undead natural disaster strengthened to the legendary level has covered the entire city and spread outside the city.

This interrupted their march, forcing them to retreat farther into the subterranean space.

Most of the 10,000+ residents in the entire city-state were civilians, who had no power to fight back against legendary necromancer spells, and were all transformed into zombies on the spot.

Even mages are not immune, mages below the third rank were forcibly transformed into corpse witches before they could escape the influence of legendary spells.

A mage above the third level can only have a chance to escape if he discovers it early. If he reacts a little slower, or discovers the mutation too late to escape, he will die.

The effect of the legendary spell quickly extended to the outside of the city. The moment it came into contact with the Scourge that had already broken through the wall of the passage, the submerged undead legion suddenly stopped moving, and then was forcibly controlled, launching a counterattack against the Scourge behind.

Two undead armies belonging to different groups fought outside the city.

The disaster lord soon discovered the abnormality, and the follow-up undead army no longer moved forward, but gathered and waited at the broken city wall at the entrance of the passage.

As time passed, the spell effect of the Scourge of the Undead extended to cover the entire underground space before stopping, and then slowly faded until it disappeared.

Then an army composed purely of zombies gathered at the gate of the city-state and flocked to the entrance of the passage.

Shaoqing's two undead legions collided head-on and fought together.

How could simple zombies beat the Scourge Lord's army? A dozen abominations nearly ten meters high rushed into the zombie crowd, rampaging, unstoppable.

However, there are a large number of Lich behind the zombie army. Under the control of the Lich Kanovino, they began to cast various spells for support.

These corpse witches were all transformed by serious mages, and most of their spells could still be used in their lifetimes, including the battlefield magical skills of fireball.

A large number of fireballs flew into the battlefield, blowing up bones and rotten flesh.

In addition, as time went by, many mage towers in the city gradually fell, and a large number of mages either surrendered, or actively transformed into liches, or necromancers, and then joined the battle.

10,000+ zombies, with the support of many Liches, Necromancers or Liches, firmly blocked the undead army.

Li Qing dug a hole for more than a month, turned left and right, finally hollowed out the ground, appeared somewhere in the middle of the stone wall in the underground space, stretched out his head, and saw the chaotic undead battlefield below.

He was stunned for a long time, and it took him a long time to realize that he was digging left and right in the depths of the closed earth, and he turned around and dug back again.

But even though he recognized that he had dug it back, he was still confused at first.

In just one month, this mage city-state has become a city of death, and there are not many living people left in the entire underground space.

He appeared on the edge of a stone wall more than 1000 meters above the ground. He couldn't reach the sky, he couldn't get down to the ground, and there was no place to stay around.

There are many flying undead units on the Scourge Lord's side, but he restrained his breath immediately after he came out. Occasionally, undead flew by and did not find him.

Most undead units rely on the fire of the soul to sense the surroundings, not with the eyes.

As long as all the breath in his body is completely restrained, it will be like a stone to the undead, and they will not find it even if they pass by.

The destruction of the mage city-state surprised Li Qing, but also saw the possibility of fishing in troubled waters.

Although the mage city-state turned the entire city into undead, and instantly had 10,000+ soldiers, but the quality is not good, and it can be defended temporarily with the mage tower, but once it is exhausted, there is a high probability that it will not be an opponent.

Although the natural disaster heroes have a huge advantage in strength, they have a high probability of winning in the end, but in the end, their strength will definitely be greatly reduced.

At that time, Li Qing will have a chance.

If you can really fish in troubled waters, no matter which side you grab, the harvest will be extremely rich.

Therefore, after the excitement, Li Qing calmed down slowly, restrained his breath, and sealed the entrance of the cave, leaving only a small hole.

Next, is to wait.

And the changes in the underground space were just as he expected. The two undead legions began to consume each other, and the steady stream of skeleton zombies turned into powder in the war.

But after the war lasted for five full days, more than 20 liches or necromancers above the Transcendent level gathered on the observatory on the top of the central core tower of the city-state.

Above the observatory is a huge magic circle, and all the liches are standing on one side, chanting spells.

Standing in the center of the magic circle was a tall lich wearing luxurious robes and holding a staff, but with three heads. If Li Qing was here, he would have recognized the head in the center as Speaker Carnovino.

The three liches inserted their staffs in the center of the circle, and muttered something in the center of their heads.

At this time, the fire of the soul in the eye socket of the skull on the right spurted out of the eye socket, and shouted angrily:

"Carnovino, you will not succeed, you will die."

And the head on the left said in a calm voice:

"Kanovino, you are too impulsive. We can pay the price to get the dragon vein first. Relatively speaking, becoming a dragon vein mage is a better choice than becoming a lich."

The centered head spell paused, and said in a deep voice:
"But he's gone and I don't have time."

The skull on the right roared angrily:
"You can choose to become a lich, but you are not qualified to make decisions for the entire school. You killed the people who supported us, and you turned your back on the school and our people."

The head on the left also spoke in a calm tone:
"Carnovino, you are wrong."

The central head replied coldly:

"I'm not wrong. Only by transforming into undead can we have enough soldiers to resist natural disasters. Only by transforming into undead can we not be afraid of undead spells."

He shouted aloud:
"Time will tell that my choice was correct."

The staff in his right hand slammed hard, and an invisible ripple exploded. The soul fire in his pupils surged violently, and the powerful power instantly suppressed the two heads on the left and right.
