  Chapter 25 Strategic Shift

  Under the holographic projection, a blue planet appeared in front of everyone. For them, this scene was so dreamy that it was unimaginable.

"ah………"

Alisa's mother covered her mouth with both hands, and stared at the planet in front of her with wide-eyed eyes in surprise, while Kado and the elf scouts were also dumbfounded, but Alisa seemed relatively calm—after all, she had known Duanmuhuai for a long time. With a mage-like ability, it is not surprising that he can do this kind of thing. Instead, he came over curiously and looked at the holographic projection in front of Duanmuhuai.

   "Master Knight, what is this?"

   "This is the map of the world."

   "Huh? Do we live on a ball? So where do we live??"

  Hearing Alisa's inquiry, Duanmuhuai also quickly reached out his hand, clicked on the holographic projection, and then quickly zoomed in, and then the entire Silver City and surrounding areas appeared in front of everyone.

   "Wow, this is the City of Silver? Did it look like this?"

  At this moment, other people also gathered around, staring curiously at the holographic projection in front of them. This scene is really unimaginable, they have never seen such a scene.

   "Ah, this is our castle! There are also guards patrolling the city wall! Even at night, we can see clearly..."

  Alyssa felt as if she had encountered a new toy at this moment. She leaned over excitedly and looked around. Then she stretched out her hand in doubt and pointed to the edge of the map.

   "Hey? What are those dense black shadows here?"

   "Huh? Let me see..."

  After hearing Alisa's inquiry, Duanmuhuai realized that there were a group of moving shadows in the lower left corner of the map outside the City of Silver. He reached out his hand and clicked there. Then the picture zoomed in again, and everyone saw a group of dark ratmen and corrupt believers speeding up their pace, heading towards the City of Silver...

   "Enemy attack!"

   At the same time, the warning bell outside also rang.

After these days, there are not many people left in the City of Silver. Except for a group of veterans who followed the Cador Knight Commander, the other residents left the City of Silver long ago and went to other places to escape. The servants in the castle were also dismissed. Right now, the entire City of Silver has less than a hundred people in total, and the Ratman army on the opposite side has at least hundreds of thousands, so naturally they can't resist it no matter what.

  Fortunately, everyone was ready to run away, and at this moment, they also rushed to salute, and then got into the carriage.

   "Master Knight, what do you do?"

Alisa looked at Duanmuhuai, and asked anxiously, it's no wonder she felt uneasy, after all, Duanmuhuai's armor might weigh dozens of tons, and riding a horse can directly crush the horse to death, and riding a carriage is even more so. Don't even think about it, the carriage will collapse when the front foot goes up and the back foot falls.

   "I'm in charge of the rear, making sure these guys don't follow and make trouble."

  Duanmuhuai also quickly gave an answer, and then looked at Augis.

   "Augis, you are with them, and take care to protect them."

  “………”

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's order, Augis didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

   "I will take my wife and miss to the bank of the Blackwood River, where I have a secret stronghold, which should not be discovered."

  The elf scout was already sitting in the carriage, and then said to Duanmuhuai.

   "I've marked the exact location on the map for you. There's that strange thing. It should be easy to find."

   "I see, let's retreat first, and the Cador Knights too."

   "Okay, you too, be careful."

The two sides exchanged a few words briefly, and then the elf scout yelled, and drove away quickly in the carriage under the guard of Kado knight and other soldiers, while Duanmuhuai glanced at their backs, then looked away, and returned to the castle .

   At this moment, it is already late at night.

The original bright moonlight was covered by dark clouds that appeared at an unknown time, and the whole city was pitch black. Standing on the balcony of the castle, he could not see anything except the light from the castle torch. Duanmu Huai just stood there, staring at He stared at the land that was also shrouded in darkness in front of him—until bright red vital signs appeared in his vision.

finally come.

  Looking at the ratmen and corrupt believers who were gradually approaching the City of Silver, Duanmuhuai's eyes were cold. He stood up and stretched out his hand. A card appeared on Duanmuhuai's fingertips, and then quietly disappeared.

  Subsequently, a strange mansion exuding faint blue light appeared behind Duanmuhuai like an illusory image. Then, he flicked his right hand and pressed it weakly.

  In an instant, nearly a hundred dolls quietly emerged, arranged neatly like soldiers. Then, they raised their weapons, like cheetahs in the dark, and rushed towards the enemies ahead.

   At this time, the army of ratmen and corrupt believers had broken through the city gate and returned to the city again.

  The dead city obviously made these bedbugs who didn't bathe all day a little confused. They originally longed for another wonderful ceremony that could spread the "love" of the filthy **** to the general public. But the cemetery-like city in front of them was obviously not the scene of the happy dance they expected. Just when these intruders looked at each other and didn't know what to do, an army of countless puppets descended from the sky and rushed directly into the ranks of corrupt believers and ratmen.

  The sudden appearance of an army of puppets surprised the corrupt believers and skaven, but at the same time they found their enemies. Although the sharp blades wielded by the dolls are deadly, as I said before, physical attacks can hardly pose any threat to the corrupt believers whose bodies are swollen, full of viruses and carrion, and the dolls with only 1 point of defense are not rats. The opponents of people and corrupt believers, these puppets were smashed into pieces almost the moment they rushed in, and what they did seemed to have no other effect except to bring a wave of waves to the filthy army.

   However, this is just the beginning.

   Just as the dolls were being smashed into pieces, the gloomy mansion behind Duanmuhuai, shining with the light of the spirit fire, started to commotion, and then its windows and doors opened suddenly like a ghost! An invisible cold wind roared out from it, passed through Duanmu Huai's body, and galloped forward.

   Immediately afterwards, the ratmen and corrupt believers discovered that the situation had changed.

Just as they smashed the dolls that appeared out of nowhere, undead souls wearing white robes and exuding the chill of death suddenly emerged from them. They opened their mouths and uttered death wailing that made all living beings tremble. , Then, this group of innocent souls rushed towards the filthy army in front of them like hungry wolves rushing for food.

   This is exactly the power of the card [Ghost Mansion] that Duanmu Huai obtained from the soul fragments before!

  【Ghost Mansion (Bronze)】

  【Consumption: 1】

  【Whenever one of your servants (except Wraith) is destroyed, summon a Wraith to the battlefield】

  Looking from the sky, the army of vengeful spirits that erupted in all directions looks as beautiful as a white lotus in full bloom, but for the ratmen and corrupt believers, this existence that represents pure death is simply their natural enemy. They began to flee in all directions, because the diseases and poisons held by the believers of these filthy gods were meaningless to the wraiths, and they could not even attack the bodies of these wraiths. And every attack of the wraiths will weaken their soul fire.

  Although the attack power of Wraith Spirit itself is not high, their advantage is that as a spirit body, ordinary physical attacks cannot harm them, and only elemental and magic damage will take effect. Unfortunately, followers of the Filth God are equally lacking in this respect. Soon, corrupt believers and ratmen fell to the ground under the "touch" of the undead. Their whole bodies were cold and stiff, their hearts stopped beating, and even the viruses lodged on their bodies decayed under the blowing of the wind of death. , dies.

   This is why Duanmu Huai chose the Undead deck. No life can withstand death, even viruses, parasites and bacteria.

   It's just a pity that the blood and tears of countless players have proved that this set will only have an effect on high-level demons at most. The big demon and the evil **** of chaos are not affected by these undead spells and effects. Many species with high magic resistance don't take this set, and it seems that they can only deal with them head-on. Of course, even so, the opponent will not die.

  Of course, if there is an artifact in this world that can kill everything, it might be useful... But unfortunately, there is no similar prop card in the game.

  But for Duanmuhuai, this is enough.

  Looking at the defeated enemy in the army of wraith spirits, Duanmuhuai nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left - after all, it was meaningless for him to stay here any longer.

   No one complained...
