This Weird Three Kingdoms game is too cruel.

Chapter 223: Corpse Demon Lord Xie Ming!Scroll of Creation of Resurrection Items!
Corpse Demon Leader.

There is a place called Bone City.

This city is huge but lifeless. The whole city is surrounded by rune walls and barriers. There are no common buildings in it, only large and small tombs and densely packed tombstones.

There is a pale pyramid with a pointed top, located in the center of tens of thousands of tombstones. The entire pyramid is made of bones, and the cold starry atmosphere of death exudes from it.

This is the only star-studded building in the city: the "Great Altar of Dead Bones."

Skeleton Gan Ning finished his training and woke up from his exclusive tomb. When facing the cold, gloomy and lifeless city, the soul fire in his empty eyes dimmed slightly.

This "City of Bones" is the lair of the Boneless Clan within the territory.

It is also the great tomb of all native humans.

Land governed by a lord.

There is no one alive for a long time.

In order to survive and not be swallowed by the abyss, in order to integrate into the territory ruled by the lord, and in order to fight against the increasingly powerful evil Sun Jian, the owners of this land were forced to choose collective transformation.

Is it right or wrong to do this? Is it really worth abandoning the previous way of life, even race and birth, in order to survive?Gan Ning is still not sure!
"Xingba!"

A spiritual voice came from behind.

"Do you also feel the Lord's aura? The Lord must have arrived at the Bone Burial City. Let's go and see the Lord quickly!" Skeleton Su Fei came over.

Gan Ning cut off his random thoughts.

Even if you lose your physical body and your sensory functions.

Even if I can only sleep in a cold tomb, unable to return to my previous life.

But at least he and his brothers survived. His relatives, friends, and most of the people in Jiangxia County are lying in this city of bones at the moment. It is better than complete destruction or being completely swallowed by the abyss, right?

Whether it's for yourself.

Or to protect these people.

They all have reasons to continue fighting for this territory.

From the moment he was transformed into the Bone Clan, from the moment he swore allegiance to the lord, there was no turning back.

Skeleton Gan Ning and Su Fei came to the Blessing Point of the Stars near the Great Altar of Dead Bones. Huang Zu and his generals also arrived.

Several figures descended here.

Among them, the one in the center has the most powerful aura. He is tall and tall and looks similar to a human being, but he has five eyes, of which the one between the eyebrows is the largest and weirdest.

Even in a closed state, people can feel a suffocating sense of oppression. Even a strong man like Gan Ning will be affected by this pressure, which shows how strong this evil corpse monster is.

His skin is covered with purple magic lines, and he wears a black robe with complicated runes, a huge and gorgeous dark red cloak, a majestic dark gold crown on his head, and a long staff inlaid with pale gems in his right hand.

Xie Ming!

The Lord of Netherblood City.

The supreme master of the territory.

This corpse witch lord named Xie Ming not only has great strength, but also has considerable support behind him.

Not only is he extremely ambitious, but he is also cunning, tolerant, and full of patience, so he can use the evil lord route to trick, deceive, and guide little by little to transform the natives into undead for his own use.

Although the size of Xie Ming's territory is not large now, he has completely digested tens of thousands of indigenous residents in the three maps, turning them into dead bones and burying them under this land, thus rapidly growing the territory's heritage. Currently, Its strength cannot be underestimated.

Skeleton Gan Ning, Huang Zu, Su Fei and dozens of other generals of the Dead Bone Clan knelt down in front of the Corpse Demon Lord.

Huang Zu asked: "The lord has arrived in person, what instructions do you have?"

A zombie general wearing a closed helmet and heavy armor next to the lord explained: "Netherblood City has already discussed how to attack the human territory, and the lord is here for this!"

Huang Zu hurriedly said: "That's it! Please give orders, Lord!"

Lord Xie Ming said calmly: "Huang Zu, lead all your troops to assist Hui Xuan in fighting in Woniu Mountain from now on, and seize the human lord's stronghold in Woniu Mountain area!"

Huixiu is the black-armored zombie general.

This man is a professional military general hired by Xie Ming from the stars. Not only does he have quite strong personal strength, but he has also received the luck blessing from the stars, thus awakening several luck skills.

Although it is only the lowest quality white Qi Luck Skill, it can be said that generals with Qi Luck Skills and military commanders without Qi Luck Skills are two completely different concepts, and the difference in worth is tenfold and hundredfold.

Su Fei quickly asked: "What is the mission of the last general and General Gan Ning?"

Although Huang Zu and Gan Ning were both members of the Bone Corps, Gan Ning was not under Huang Zu's command, nor was he under Huang Zu's direct command.

Gan Ning said: "I heard that there was a very powerful guard in Shansang City. He single-handedly stopped General Huang from advancing. The general might be able to sneak into Shansang City and kill this general to prevent General Huang from being helpless again." Return with success.”

"Gan Ning, you..."

Huang Zu's soul was furious.

He naturally heard the strangeness in Gan Ning's words.

Lord Xie Ming said, "You don't need to participate in the battle on Woniu Mountain. This Lord has more important arrangements for you."

Gan Ning said: "Please tell me, Lord!"

Xie Ming said: "We learned that there is a place called Wancheng in the human territory. It is densely populated and has many hidden dangers. Your mission this time is to sneak into Wancheng while the battle at Woniu Mountain is taking place."

talking room.

He waved.

An acolyte secret guard came up.

In his hand he held a box with heavy seals.

"This is a piece of divine source material obtained by my master by chance. This item is extremely precious and rare. If it is sacrificed enough, it can summon a large-scale death barrier, which can not only quickly kill the population in this area, but also They can all be converted into our reserve forces!"

Gan Ning's eyes lit up with soul fire.

The lord wants to transform the native humans in the human territory into undead?
Although from the perspective of the lord and the interests of the territory, there is definitely no problem in doing so, Gan Ning felt a little uncomfortable.

Xie Ming was keenly aware of Gan Ning's mental changes.

"What? Gan Ning, are you unwilling to carry out this task?"

"Don't dare!" Gan Ning quickly clasped his fists and explained: "The general just feels that there is no need to transform everyone into undead. After all, these aborigines are different from us who were desperate at the beginning. They may prefer to continue as mortals. Survive."

"Bold!"

Huixi immediately reprimanded.

Huang Zu also took the opportunity to say: "How dare you, the rebellious Gan Ning, question the lord, we are now a member of the undead clan. You don't care about strengthening our clan and territory, but you still speak for these outsiders. Could it be that you are pregnant?" There is something wrong!"

"General Gan is loyal to the territory and there is no way he would have any different intentions!"

Su Fei quickly came out to smooth things over, "Xingba, why don't you quickly admit your mistake to the lord!"

Xie Ming: "Gan Ning, you have to know that the land and city where we live cannot survive for ordinary people. Only by transforming them into the same kind can they be accepted by the territory. Otherwise, what awaits them is eternal death or falling into the abyss. .”

pain!

almost simultaneously.

A severe pain that cannot be described in words spreads from the depths of the soul, like throwing the soul into purgatory and burning, almost surpassing any torture in the world!
Even with Gan Ning's will, it was unbearable to tremble involuntarily.

He understood that this was the imprint of the stars deep in his soul at work.

There is absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter.

And he can't disobey the lord's will!
"Yes!" Gan Ning lowered his head: "The final general will definitely carry out the Lord's orders!"

In fact, Xie Ming was also very puzzled. Gan Ning had a flamboyant and unruly personality, and sometimes he was not very easy to use. But it stands to reason that after being transformed into dead bones, his "human nature" should continue to be worn away over time.

Seven years!
for such a long time.

Huang Zu, Su Fei and others have already recognized their new race and identity.

Only this Gan Ning still seems not to be completely tamed, and this situation is indeed very rare.

On the one hand, this is certainly related to his strong personal will, and on the other hand, it is probably because the luck gathered in this person is very strong.

If he hadn't transformed into a dead bone and directly joined the star camp, the luck skills he could awaken must be very powerful, definitely far superior to professional generals in the land of stars like Hui Xi.

but.

Not a pity.

Even do it all over again.

Xie Ming will still set up a trap to turn him into an undead, otherwise it will be difficult for him to fully use him.

Xie Ming was a little envious of his rival lord, probably because he was also a human race, so it was very convenient to conquer local talents.

Based on available information.

There are at least three top talents under his command. If any of them can get to the Land of Stars, they will be overtaken by the big lords of all parties and are easily worth millions of magic crystals!

There’s so much top talent.

It's not surprising that he was able to withstand the last round of attacks.

However, with such good luck, Xie Ming did not think that the opposite lord could continue. His confidence was nothing more than these super-powerful natives. The human race's own development potential and war endurance were too weak.

Before Xie Ming came to Bone Burial City.

I conspired with my cronies on many strategies to deal with the human territory, as well as the next tactics. It can be said that I made a lot of preparations.

These zombie monsters who think they are powerful.

In the final analysis, they don't take a human territory seriously at all.

They don't think about whether they can win, but how to win, how to minimize the cost and maximize the benefits.

Some confidants proposed to directly launch a large army to push forward in one fell swoop to end the war in the most efficient way.Some confidants also suggested continuing to try surprise and sneak attacks in an effort to end the war at the lowest cost.

These opinions are valuable.

But Xie Ming didn't fully adopt it.

Although many of his subordinates despised the enemy.

But he clearly realized that even if the enemy was a human being, he could not take it lightly. The lessons learned from countless gutter capsizes told him that even the weakest opponent might be fatal.

Xie Ming has not fully grasped the strength of the human lords in Luoshui City, and cannot accurately assess their military strength.

Under such circumstances, he would not leave the battlefield easily or initiate a decisive battle, lest his side suffer huge losses due to insufficient intelligence work.

As for the surprise attack?

This trick is definitely not easy to use!

After the failure of Gan Ning's attack, the human lords will definitely strengthen their defenses. If they try again, not only will the success rate be lower, but they may also fall into the trap set by the opponent and cause more losses.

Xie Ming decided to use more robust tactics.

Start with population.

Start from the ground!
Population and territory are the foundation of territory and the foundation of lord!

The strength and power of a star lord is directly determined to a large extent by the size of the population and the number of territories he controls.

Xie Ming is preparing to attack human territory from these two dimensions, allowing Hui Xi and Huang Zu to lead their armies to continuously encroach on the blessing points of Woniu Mountain.

There are only two possible reactions from the human lord.

The first is to sit back and ignore it.

In this way, as blessing points and territories are lost one by one, the strength of their lords, as well as their strategic mobility, military deployment and delivery capabilities in the Woniu Mountain area will decline, which will make the next battle more passive.

The second is to lead troops to counterattack.

The human army is not very strong, and it is difficult to train them. If they leave the fortified city and go out to fight in the field, it will be equivalent to giving up the defensive advantage of Shansang City.

Currently, the Corpse Witch Territory is still within the protection period. Xie Ming does not need to worry about being attacked by sneak attacks, or the strongholds in his territory are captured, so he can firmly grasp the strategic initiative.

In this way, by taking advantage of the number and size of the troops and the quality of the racial troops, the human army can be quickly consumed, and the opponent will soon be trapped in a dilemma.

Of course.

Xie Ming's plan won't be that simple.

When the attention of the human lords is drawn to the turf war.

Gan Ning will lead a secret guard of acolytes, use secret methods to bypass Woniu Mountain, cross Baihu Mountain, and quietly enter the human-occupied area of ​​​​Wancheng.

The Wancheng map is the farthest place from the Woniu Mountain map, and it is also the place with the most dense population and the largest number of troops.

From a common sense perspective, the attack is the most difficult.

Xie Ming decided to do the opposite. He expected that the main combat forces and generals of the human lords would be in Shansang City and the main city. It was impossible and unnecessary to deploy too powerful characters in the Wancheng area.

Gan Ning's Shadow March can easily enter it.

Thus implementing a large-scale population eradication plan.

When territories are lost one by one, when the population is wiped out on a large scale, this lord will be rapidly weakened, and the strategic depth of its territory will be continuously squeezed.

Finally, find the right time to launch a decisive battle.

We can definitely win in one fell swoop!

Xie Ming floated up from the ground and stopped at the top of the Bone Altar, then slowly raised the long staff in his hand.

"Wake up!" "My loyal servants!"

The Pale Pyramid shook violently. This undead tribe's star-studded building was at work, and a majestic energy was injected into the Bone Burial City.

next moment!
Tombs were opened one after another.

One dead skeleton came out of it.

There are about three thousand dead skeletons, their eyes are beating with strong soul fire, and each of them has a strong aura.

When Huang Zu, Su Fei and other skeleton generals saw this, they all showed great joy. The lord awakened a brand new army. This not only made up for the losses in the last war, but also further enhanced the scale and strength of the Bone Army. !

"It cost a lot of magic crystals...but it's worth it!"

Xie Ming returned to the ground from the high altar of dead bones.

He was very satisfied with the new army of skeleton soldiers arranged neatly.

The Great Altar of Dead Bones is an extremely expensive and rare third-level undead tribe exclusive building.

Its purpose is to transform other races into Necromancers.

These transformed populations are originally natives of the plane.

Therefore, it does not occupy additional population.

However, if you want to maintain a huge army of dead bones, this process will cause continuous consumption, so most of the evil dead slaves are sleeping in the Bone Burial City.

on this basis.

Xie Ming deployed a large number of Juyin tombstones.

These special buildings and formations can nourish sleeping skeletons.

Let these skeleton soldiers be like fine wine in a cellar. The longer they sleep, the higher their strength level will be.

In addition, after a long period of slumber, the dead skeletons will completely lose their humanity and memory, and from then on they will become the most loyal puppet subjects of the territory, no different from directly recruited family members.

This is the lord of the evil route!

Theoretically speaking, as long as Xie Ming is given enough population resources and Xie Ming is given a long and stable time, he can create a super legion of hundreds of thousands or even millions!
Let alone a lower-level race worth mentioning.

Even against higher-level races in the future.

You can also push troops violently!

"Go!"

"Spread death!"

"Fight for territory!"

Huang Zu, Su Fei and other skeleton generals felt the powerful aura of Xie Ming, and the soul fire in their bodies trembled violently. They did not dare to look directly at the pressure and fell to their knees on the ground.

Gan Ning felt confused when faced with the newly awakened spirit of the dead.

From these undead souls, he could not feel the slightest trace of the human beings they once were. They could no longer even be called intelligent creatures, as if they had become dead creatures with neither self-awareness nor intelligence.

When I was undergoing the transformation ceremony.

The lord's promise is that as long as he changes his form, he will not grow old or sick, nor will he be hungry or thirsty. He will have unlimited lifespan and will be more suitable to survive in this world.

But now it seems.

The cost seems to be far greater than imagined.

Aren’t all those relatives and friends in my past...

Gan Ning didn't have time to think too much, because his soul was aching again. From the moment he turned into this form, it was difficult for him to get rid of the influence of the lord, and fighting for the territory became his only destiny.

This powerful lord of the evil corpse demon left the Bone Burial City after making arrangements.

A large army of dead bones set out again.

The war between territories begins again.

…………

at the same time.

In the main city of Luoshui.

Hang Yu is continuing to deal with the internal affairs of the territory.

The top priority is to upgrade the hall facilities as soon as possible.

The territory hall includes the core hall, hero hall, trading hall, etc.

If the territory hall can be upgraded to the third level, the core of the territory will become stronger. In addition, the number of hero units that can be contracted will increase the market for trading, which is of great significance to the development of the territory.

By then, he only needs to build the third-level main city wall and three third-level skill towers, and the second-level barracks in the territory will also meet the upgrade conditions. Hang Yu can upgrade the second-level abyss barracks owned by the territory to the third level.

At that time, the population limit can be doubled!

The problem now is that there are simply not enough magic crystals and materials.

"Just to upgrade the territory hall, a total of 8 magic crystals are needed, plus 4 third-level material essences!"

Hang Yu felt very troubled, "I have been recruiting a large number of players recently, and I am also acquiring blueprints, building and upgrading various facilities. The current magic crystals are already stretched thin and cannot be used. Adding tens of thousands of third-level material essences, it is simply... Make things difficult for me, Fat Tiger!"

The essence of third-level materials is too scarce.

After all, only materials dropped by level [-] monsters can be transformed into this essence.

High-level materials can be degraded into low-level material essences, and low-level material essences usually cannot be synthesized into high-level material essences, unless there are extremely rare and expensive star building facilities with material synthesis capabilities.

Although the territory currently reserves a batch of third-level materials, most of these third-level materials are very valuable, especially third-level blue quality materials. It would be too wasteful to convert them into essence.

Just when Hang Yu was thinking of ways to get magic crystals and materials.

Xiaoba suddenly reminded: "Master, Lord 3244 is contacting you. It seems that it has found the required props."

what?
so fast!
Hang Yu immediately opened the communication interface.

Lord 3244 sent the detailed information of a prop.

[Scroll of Creation], a third-level rare consumable, blue quality... Introduction: This scroll can summon the power of the stars to lower the creation formation. When the soul is injected into the creation formation, the body can be created and regenerated. !
Really found it?
Hang Yu looked surprised.

He said: "Didn't we agree on two days? It's only been less than a day!"

Lord 3244: "You are lucky. I have a friend who is a high-ranking lord, and he happens to have such a Scroll of Creation. If I hadn't had some friendship with him, I might not have been able to facilitate this deal."

no doubt.

Exotic props are very rare.

This kind of thing will definitely not be cheap.

Even though Hang Yu couldn't be said to be very poor, his money was very tight and he felt a little unsure at the moment.

He asked: "What price?"

Lord 3244: "One price of 6 magic crystals!"

Even Hang Yu felt a little tight in his chest when he saw this number.

If a top-notch blueprint were sold at this price, he would still be able to accept it, but for a prop item to be a one-time consumable prop, this was really outrageous.

Lord 3244: "Don't be too expensive. Resurrection items are extremely rare. Only the top lords have the opportunity to get some. This thing cannot be bought with money."

Hang Yu: "This price is too much over the budget. To be honest, my territory is recruiting tens of thousands of people. In addition, the investment in territory construction is also very large. It allows me to turn over such a large amount of magic crystals in a short time." It’s quite difficult.”

Lord 3244: "To be honest, this friend of mine is a real boss, and he doesn't lack this magic crystal, so he won't accept a counter-offer."

Lord 3244: "But if you really want to make this deal happen, there are other ways."

Hang Yu asked, "Please give me some advice."

Lord 3244: "I can help you pay for this magic crystal directly, and even give you a [-]% discount, but the condition is that you have to pay the equivalent attribute medicine at the market price, how about it?"

This method is not impossible.

Hang Yu saved some magic crystal here.

And this lord can also take the opportunity to take more attribute medicine.

"Yes, but I currently don't have enough elixirs in stock. Can I postpone the transaction for two or three days?"

"no problem!"

Hang Yu recently distributed a lot of attribute elixirs to the Scourge Army during his mission, and he sold a batch in the past two days. The inventory of dragon blood elixirs is indeed insufficient, but fortunately the alchemy workshop has a strong production capacity, and it should be replenished in two days.

Both parties formally reached a consensus.

Hang Yu also developed some affection for Lord 3244.

This guy is indeed quite honest. Although he definitely got the benefit of both sides in this transaction, he is generally restrained and not evil-minded, and he has indeed solved a lot of trouble for Hang Yu.

Return to Shengcang City from now on.

If you have time and opportunity.

You can consider making friends with him offline.

As for spending [-] to [-] magic crystals to resurrect Jia Xu... the cost is indeed outrageously high, but Hang Yu believes that he will never regret it. The value of Jia Xu's existence cannot be measured with magic crystals. .

Problems that can be solved with magic crystals.

In fact, it's not a big problem.

What is really more troublesome is Dianwei in Jiuwan City.

In fact, with Hang Yu's current ability, he has initially mastered the ability to eliminate him.

But if conditions permit, Hang Yu still doesn't want to eliminate him just like that. After all, it's not easy to encounter military commanders of this level. It would be a pity to give up if you have the opportunity to bring him into your territory.

of course.

It's too difficult.

The territory does have a way to reverse it.

But according to Hang Yu's estimation, it is possible to achieve the goal by collecting at least three pieces of divine source materials, plus the pure soul crystal exploded by Cao Ang, and a resurrection item.

Everything else is fine.

Materials containing divine essence are hard to come by.

Even if you have money, you can't buy this kind of thing. Even if you can buy it, Hang Yu will definitely not be able to afford it. After all, the top bosses and legendary lords of all walks of life will be very interested. A person of this level can easily shed a little magic crystal from his fingernail to Hang Yu. It's a huge sum of money.

What can you do to compete with them?

Hang Yu had no choice but to wait. He was not in a hurry to conquer the core contaminated area anyway. Although he had initially gained confidence in defeating Dian Wei, the natural disaster army did not yet have the ability to break into the old Wancheng.

Just at this time.

Zhou Cang suddenly came in and reported: "Lord, a large number of undead troops have appeared in the north of Woniu Mountain!"

Hang Yu was slightly startled when he heard this: "This Corpse Witch Lord is really not stopping. It is estimated that the second wave of larger-scale offensive is about to begin. If nothing else happens, they will find a way to capture more strongholds this time."

Zhou Cang asked: "How should I respond?"

Hang Yu said: "This is not a bad thing. We cannot attack their territory for the time being. If they shrink in and cannot come out, there is nothing I can do. Now most of the strongholds in Woniu Mountain are empty cities. On the contrary, we can attract enemy soldiers to gather and annihilate them." .”

The actions of enemy lords are predictable.

Hang Yu's response method is also simple.

Let the Scourge Army fight the battle.

Lose one.

Just take one back.

Repeated sawing consumes.

The enemy lord may not know that the Scourge Legion cannot be consumed. By the time they realize it, they must have suffered heavy losses. By that time, the territorial protection period is over, and Hang Yu can immediately launch a counterattack.

Just right.

Hang Yu is short of money.

Large-scale war is one of the most profitable ways.

"Judging from the last battle, I see the opposing lord's military style. It seems that he likes to balance reality and reality, and to be upright and surprising."

"So under such a high-profile attack on Woniu Mountain."

"He will probably secretly arrange another surprise force."

Hang Yu thought for a while and said: "The surprise attack in Luoshui City failed, and there is a high probability that it will not be tried again in a short time. However, the value of surprise attack in Baihu Mountain is not high strategically, so the place where surprise troops can be launched and can bring huge benefits is Wancheng is the most populous, farthest, and hardest to attack."

Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it dangerous over there in Wancheng?"

Hang Yu: "Don't worry, Wancheng is too far away to project too much power. Most likely, they will still rely on Gan Ning's shadow march to infiltrate, but with Jia Xu here, they shouldn't be able to make too big a splash."

This time the enemy lords must have put more troops into Woniu Mountain.

Hang Yu decided to upgrade both Zhou Cang and Wenpin to the highest level of 30, and then made some optimizations to their equipment and skills to ensure that Shansang City would be safe no matter what the situation.

(End of this chapter)
