Lord of War

Vol 4 Chapter 44: .Corruption

  For the undead, the breath of life is like a beacon in the dark, you can’t even see it.

  For those undead with only biological instincts, once a living person enters the dead place, all the undead will be instantly alarmed, because the breath is too obvious. For this reason, once the breath and aura of a living person changes, it is naturally the easiest to feel for the undead.

   So when the guards of the wild fortress changed their momentum and began to truly regard death as home, the breath of life they burst out was naturally dazzling. This caused a commotion in the entire undead army. If it weren't for high-level undead pressure, this seemingly ordinary undead army would be in chaos.

  Without him, instinctively makes chaos.

  But the defensive force becomes stronger, and the undead on the offensive side naturally becomes extremely manic. It does not even require the commander to order and command. The undead who follow their instincts will attack more quickly.

   However, no matter how fierce and frenzied the battle ahead becomes, there is still a large-scale undead army behind the big formation that has not moved the slightest. Even if the defensive army became more vigorous and more attractive, they only rioted for a while before returning to normal, without causing the entire army to be completely chaotic.

  And in this army, which can truly be called the headquarters of the vanguard, there are two figures standing.

  One of them has a strong aura, no matter how much control is converged, the breath that leaks out inadvertently still looks terrifying.

  The other way is the opposite. Not only is there no aura from the body, but even in the entire army of the undead, it seems that there is no such thing. If it is not for the other party, it will stand next to the first imposing figure. When it does not exist at all.

   "It seems that your tactics are not good." This ordinary figure that has no sense of existence said, "Can't lure the enemy."

  It’s such a simple, peaceful sentence. However, the death inspiration with the fierce aura next to him was shocked. However, his horror was restrained in his heart, and his expression reflected a gloomy and hideous look on his face, and his hand bones were snapped.

  As his mood changes, its body has undergone a strange change.

   was originally the appearance of a skeleton, but at this moment, there were waves of phantom shaking. A burly figure over two meters tall was revealed.

  This figure is wearing a black armor. Behind him is a black cloak hunting and hunting, but if you look closely, you will find that this cloak is not black at all, but soaked in so much blood that it is completely black. The burly figure did not wear a battle helmet, so he could still see the skull, but the flame burning in his eyes was not the faint green of ordinary skull cannon fodder, but a brilliant red that was almost purplish.

  This kind of soul fire. Only the undead who has reached the eleventh rank can have it.

  Once it turns purple. That is the symbol of the legendary ghost fire, which means that the undead is a true legendary creature.

   is just an army of undead like cannon fodder, how could there be such a powerful undead?

"Are you going to ruin me?" The inexistent skeleton spoke, but such a plain sentence caused the death of the next person who was already equivalent to the upper sanctuary realm to be frozen for a while. Yin and cold.

   "Subordinates don't dare." The undead who hides his identity said with a respectful tone.

   refers only to subordinates, not subordinates.

  This shows that this undead is not a subordinate of another undead, but a subordinate of another undead army that has an equal and opposite relationship with it. Only because of his own status and rank are lower than the other, so he called himself a subordinate.

   can make the undead of Tier 11 claim to be subordinates. If you still show such a respectful attitude, you can naturally imagine the strength of the other person.

   After saying this, the momentum of the undead body was full, and the state of the unstable illusion revealed on the body was finally slightly stabilized, and there was no longer constant change and repetition. But even in this way, the strands of powerful coercive death energy can hardly be completely suppressed, and there is still a strong death energy permeating the entire ground. It's just because the undead army is relatively large, so the dead spirit that escapes can be regarded as an explanation.

  Of course, this is also the reason why the undead army in this headquarters does not dare to go too far forward.

With the perceptual power of this undead powerhouse, it is natural to know that there are two legendary powerhouses in the fortress ahead, and they are not ordinary legendary powerhouses, they belong to the kind of relatively powerful combat power, the aura of the power of law. Fluctuations can be felt. However, these two people are not within his scope of response, but the real powerhouse next to him is responsible for solving them. There is only one real goal of his trip, and that is to capture this fortress.

  Except for a woman named by her own master, she must stay alive, other people in the fortress live or die.

  Of course, if he can leave more and more perfect materials, then he will naturally be praised. And it is for this reason that he adopts this kind of disguise tactics that are rare in the undead army.

  In fact, this undead general is not the undead pulled from the plane of bones by Rick, but a native product produced after the southern territory of the Millennium Covenant Empire was captured. Before his death, he was a powerful and outstanding general. He was especially good at war. He was one of the three pillars of the previous Golden Thirteen Provinces. He was also the only fallen undead who immediately surrendered to Lake after seeing the general situation is over.

   Fallen are human beings who surrender to demons, demons, and undead. According to different belief goals of surrender, there are demon fallen, devil fallen, and undead fallen. The nature of these fallen people is still human, so they retain all the instincts and memories that belong to human beings, but because they are limited by fallen beliefs, they will be planted with special operating methods, and their physical appearance will be somewhat different. Variety.

  The price Edroso has to pay is to peel off all his flesh and blood and become a skeleton. But because he endured this intense pain, he also gained the great benefit of improving his strength-as a human, he only had the realm of the lower sanctuary, but after becoming a fallen one, his strength increased to that level. The upper sanctuary can become a legendary powerhouse only with the last kick of the door.

  The original him. Don't even think about becoming a legend after exhausting your life, but now he suddenly has the opportunity to become a legendary powerhouse. What is his dissatisfaction? It's just that Edroso didn't know that even if he died, he would never become a legendary powerhouse in his life, and he would always be the only thing left for him-from the moment he became a fallen one. It is no longer possible for him to have the ability to advance in strength. So how much his strength can be improved at the moment when the flesh is peeled off, it will only stop here in the future.

  But Lake didn't tell him, so he didn't know it himself.

  "The enemy has stopped shooting." The skeleton standing next to Edroso, looking at the bone ladder that was built up frantically after losing the arrow rain cover, suddenly said. "The White Bone Ladder is about to be completed...how is your Black Death Army prepared?"

  "Just wait for the bone ladder to be built." Edroso replied in a deep voice.

  The fallen. It is a man who surrenders to the dark creatures.

   But even if they surrender because of this, they are "non-self races, and their hearts must be different" for dark creatures, so they will generally not be reused at all. If they want to be reused, then they must develop their direct line of troops themselves, and then use their military exploits to speak for themselves. However, they are only qualified to speak, and the demon kings, lords, and princes who accept their surrender will never let these fallen ones rule their own troops.

  Because of this, all the fallen will have a skill similar to the natural ability: transformation. This ability is also called demonization and pollution. But no matter what it is called, there is only one essence. That is to develop the deployment of the army for themselves, and to strengthen the combat effectiveness of their corps, nothing more. Of course, there are also some powerful and powerful fallen men. Their ability is not to lead soldiers in battle, but to be strong like Lone Rangers.

  But those demon kings, lords, and princes don’t care about them. You can do it yourself or lead the soldiers to fight. Anyway, as long as you can complete the task.

  The Black Death Army is the troop transformed from Edroso’s pollution, which is the troop standing behind him at this moment.

  This is a corps of skeletal cavalry with more than thirty thousand people, in addition to nearly one hundred thousand skeletal infantry armed with various weapons.

  In fact, this large-scale undead army is the true headquarters of this undead vanguard, and it is also Edroso's direct line of troops. This army of 130,000 people is not a skeleton creature, but his deployment before becoming the Fallen. It’s just that after he became the Fallen, this army failed to escape the doom, and all were killed by his demons. Pollution, becoming a half-human and half-undead army of fallen.

  Of course, what the skeleton looks like now is just caused by the blessing of illusion like him. In fact, the combat power of this army is no less than that of the sixth-level army of the human empire. Even because of being completely demonized, the combat effectiveness is much stronger than the average level 6 army, and may not reach the standard of the real level 7 army, but the difference is not too far, and there must be a quasi-level 7 army.

  This undead vanguard is indeed a pioneer, but it is not cannon fodder.

  Levy didn’t know this, but just judged it by ordinary logic, so it was inexplicable to think that this army of cannon fodder had tens of thousands of skeleton mages.

But it’s no wonder that Levi didn’t understand. It was that the knowledge base he had contacted had not been updated for a long time. He didn’t know that there is a special existence of the so-called "fallen" on the earth nowadays, let alone a person himself. A fallen man who is good at military strategy. In this kind of war situation where the intelligence is completely unequal, it is not surprising that Levi did not see through this inferior tactic, and even William did not find anything wrong.

  After all, no one would have thought that there would be undead who know how to disguise, disguise or even show the enemy's weakness.

  A total of 350,000 undead, except for the main force of 130,000 and tens of thousands of skeleton mages, the remaining 200,000 are real cannon fodder, which can be sacrificed at any time, and they are only materials used to build the bone ladder.

  However, the Bone Ladder has not been completely constructed at this moment, so Edroso still stays still.

  He was still waiting, and when the bone ladder was completely completed, he immediately led the cavalry unit to launch a charge raid. As long as he cuts a hole, the infantry of the Black Death Army behind him can take advantage of the situation to enter, and then expand the results of the battle, gain a foothold on the wall-as a fallen man whose predecessor is a human, of course Edroso Knowing what is the most important point of a city siege, if you can't stand a firm foothold on the wall, don't even think about breaking the city.

  At this moment, a new defense method suddenly appeared in the wild fortress that had been quiet for a long time.

  Countless huge boulders as big as millstones were lifted up the city wall, and then they were thrown straight down toward the bone ladder built against the city wall.

  One or two grindstones may not be able to smash the bones under the shield that are already stuck to the city wall, but a large number of grindstones fell, but they were enough to cause cracks in these bones. Once cracks occurred, the degree of firmness was naturally not as strong, and after a few more shots, these white bone ladders naturally produced a lot of collapse. And the threat of these millstones is far more than that. After smashing and smashing the bone ladder, the millstones rolling down the stairs naturally caused heavy losses to the skeleton soldiers behind.

Before they were completely turned into bone piles to stick to the walls or their companions, these skeleton soldiers were only first-order undead creatures. They were not much better than an adult, so they were smashed and hit by a huge boulder and many skeletons. It is simply crushed directly. Of course, most of them are not crushed by this, but it is normal to lose one or two parts of the body suddenly, and naturally it will no longer be the material for building the bone ladder.

  "Dying struggling." Seeing new defenses in the fortress, the undead standing in Edroso sneered.

  This defensive method is indeed a dying struggle in the eyes of the undead. After all, how many millstones can a fortress have? Smashing this piece down may be able to slow down the construction speed of the Bone Ladder, but it still doesn't help the general situation, they are just being built a little slower. But there are a total of 200,000 road-building materials. To the undead, there is no difference between being quicker and fuller.

However, that undead creature whose strength is absolutely above the legendary, obviously did not want to waste time any more, so he took a big step forward, the soul fire hidden deep in his eye sockets suddenly lit up for a moment, and tens of thousands in front of him The skeleton mage immediately divided into two columns.

  The front row was all stepped forward, and soon entered the full range of the steel-winged war bow unit. But this time, even if they were shot and killed by several steel-winged soldiers, there was no commotion or retreat. Instead, they started to use magic power to operate magic. A large number of dead skeleton soldiers were summoned out, and those who lacked arms The skeleton soldier with a broken leg was also restored by undead magic and quickly recovered.

  Not only that, these skeleton soldiers, whether they are newly summoned or repaired, even seem to be assisted by some magical power, rushing towards the bone ladder like crazy, and then turned into materials for building roads.

  For a time, the construction speed of this ladder is not slow but fast.

   While the skeleton mages in the front row stepped forward and summoned, the skeleton mages in the back row also stood in formation, and a huge amount of magic power quickly condensed in the formation of these skeleton mages, and then projected into the sky. Soon, huge dark clouds gathered in the sky of the entire fortress. These were dark clouds condensed purely by magic. These dark clouds floated towards the fortress and immediately blocked the golden brilliance emitted by the guru inside the fortress. It suddenly became dark clouds.

  But Cecilia, standing on the city wall, felt that the powerful magic power was condensing at this moment, and the entire black cloud sky seemed to be brewing some powerful magic attack.

  This made Cecilia's expression extremely solemn. (To be continued~^~)
