Chapter 616: The Black Duke's Requiem

The sheer light envelops everyone's gaze in a curtain of snow-white and blazing light. They heard the bitter screams of pain and despair of countless undead troops, they heard the cries of surprise from the soldiers, they saw the rhythm of life in the white light, and listened to the singing of the elemental elves.

This qiē may be just an illusion. The brilliance like a flickering sun suddenly dissipated at that moment, and in the center of that brilliance, only Lu Xi in the center of the magic circle remained. The massive torrent of light and the surging tide of magic like the tide of the sea were gone, and the chains of light extending from the circle still locked the gray fire, but by this time the flame had shrunk to the point that only the flames remained, swaying and shaking, as if it could disappear at any moment in the occasional wisp of fresh wind.

Even so, Lu Xi was greatly shocked: "You are still alive." ”

“…… This, what the hell is this? The attack pattern and attack nature are very similar to the high-level life gods, but the spell structure is arcane runes. No, I've never seen this type of magic, nor have I seen this kind of power attribute. ”

"This isn't a divine art, and it is impossible for a lawless and heartless unbeliever like me and the wind to master a high-level divine art, right?" Lu Xi said: "Don't you think about it, you big and small demons will all extract the fire of destruction from the embers, can't we extract the power of order and life from the root of the birth of the world?" Of course, this understanding of power is a relatively recent concept, and if it weren't for the arcane concept of the Forbidden Charm of Laxis, which can return to the essence of the magical structure, we would not be able to analyze the origin of the world. So, ah. Half of the military merit medals are ours, and the other half still goes to the ancestor of the heavenly kingdom. ”

"Don't understand? It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You're going to die anyway. I gave you time to say my last words, but you just don't cherish them. I'm going to ask you to hit the road. Lu Hope only had a flame of soul fire left in his hand, and transformed more magic power into a sapphire fire that broke evil and expelled the undead, and smashed into the cage formed by the chain of light. He felt that he had said enough today, and it also gave the other party a chance to leave some words of "his words are also good", but the other party just didn't appreciate it, and he was ready to use his last spiritual power to release a banshee scream to sneak attack, so it was no wonder that he was ruthless. If you are really turned over by your opponent in the end and become the kind of legendary villain who dies a lot, it is estimated that your name will be nailed to the list of funny people in history for many years.

(System: Host kills Spirit Knight Commander.) Black Duke Angmar, gaining 18,500 experience. )

Well, the killing experience is pretty much the same as you might expect. It can be seen that the strength of the Black Duke should surpass that of the snake demon general Sebina, but it is estimated that it is worse than the "mirror" Kildeka.

(System: Kill Legendary enemies, complete the side quest "On the Sword" 3/10, and reward 5000 XP.) )

A single individual, no matter how powerful he or she may be when he is "alive", what kind of power and prestige he has. But when he died, it was so quiet. What's more, if you die in front of the enemy, your bones will be degraded, and even used as a tool to deter friendly forces.

This is the commander of the undead army of Henas who has been powering the nations for more than a thousand years. Is the end of the world's strongest necromantic knight? Seeing such a super big man folded in his hands, for a while, Lu Xi was a little lacking in reality.

He stepped forward. The spear that he picked up from the ground picked up the black duke's helmet with the Ugin mask in it. The Necronomicon does not have a physical corpse of his own. Of course, there is no zài head, and his "real body" is just an armor to put it bluntly...... But. Others don't know!

"I'm going to get rid of the enemy...... Uh, no, the Black Duke Angmar is dead! You won't be caught yet! Lu Xi raised the black duke's "head" high into the air with a spear, trying to make everyone see it clearly, and shouted loudly.

Amplification magic quickly spread his voice around. As soon as the words fell, a silence as if death followed.

I'll admit that this would be a shocking situation, but you don't need to act like you've turned your worldview upside down. I admit that as a protagonist, I'm actually very good at being in the limelight, but you all stared at me and didn't speak, and this scene was too weird for me to put a lot of pressure on me.

Fortunately, Lu Xi's pressure didn't last long. Ten seconds later, the Necromantic Knights, who had just shattered the light curtain and seemed to be able to save it with just one step faster, finally came to their senses from the shock and panic that reality had been turned upside down. Some of them rushed to the gate as if they were crazy, some of them were very loyal, they were supposed to want to reclaim the "corpse" of the lord, but many more let out a cry of terror and wanted to retreat through the gap in the gate. It cannot be said that they are frightened, but based on realistic considerations. You must know that the Necro Knight is not cannon fodder like skeleton soldiers and zombies without emotion and fear, once an individual has thoughts and feelings, it will naturally have the instinct of fear and seeking advantage and avoiding harm. In a sense, the undead lords are even more afraid of death than the living, otherwise they will not be bound by obsession and the desire for eternal life, and become "immortals" who distort the boundary between life and death.

The necromantic knights who wanted to break up, and the two stunned necromantic knights who were particularly loyal and brave, collided together in such a daze. Instead, it caused an even greater confusion in the battle queue. The zombies and skeleton soldiers who needed to be controlled by the undead lords suddenly fell into chaos due to the chaos of the controllers. They can no longer make that orderly defense and attack, and can only wander in place by instinct, but become an obstacle to their own side.

The Federation defenders began to cheer heartily. A large number of soldiers raised their heads, and threw the barrels, stones, arrows, and oil cans into the enemy's array as if they didn't want money, and the explosions exploded one after another. At a time when the enemy was no longer able to make an effective counterattack, they found that such a war was more interesting than ever.

"Coward! Coward! No refund! Have you all forgotten the grace of the Maharaja? Have you all forgotten who is leading us? The heroic necromantic knight shouted hysterically. The body of the Necro Knight is nothing more than a corpse that has undergone dark purification, and theoretically there is no such physiological expression as hoarseness, but. His voice made people feel deep despair and grievance.

"Are you still entitled to worry about others? Salzo! "The paladin's body swirls with a halo of magic. The holy white light seemed to spread its wings of light behind him: "You will soon meet below." ”

"You madman who doesn't know what to live or die!" Annoyed, the Necroknight brandished his sword, and fought with the paladin with his sword and shield. His attacks are insane and tyrannical though. But it has gradually lost its rules. On the other hand, Dongte, although he also fell into a fanatical mental state, did not completely lose his mind. Although his tricks are also more offensive and less defensive, there is a kind of Lao Tzu who must kill your momentum even if he is stabbed a few times and breaks a leg, but it is still in the category of rampage.

According to this situation, this dead arrogant paladin will not be too lightly injured, but he will definitely be able to kill his old enemy, plus the two priests and monks who rushed over to support, there should be no mistakes.

Come to think of it. Lu Xi decided not to worry about the other party. He pulled out a magic crystal from his bracelet and threw it at the Tempest, who took it with a confused look on his face, and recognized the origin of the object after looking at it.

As mentioned earlier, in order to supplement her family, she has also participated in many mercenary missions. Of course, with her strength and camp, most of the tasks she does are difficult tasks that favor the order and kindness camp. Not only can you get a lot of honorarium from the lords and the Great Holy Church, but you can also brush up your reputation by the way, and do a good job of paving the way for the organization's whitewashing.

During one mission, she was in a secret cultist stronghold. Fought the abyssal demons summoned by the cultists. Although the Barlow Flame Demon died at the hands of the wind, it did make her suffer a lot. What impressed her the most was this expensive ore that was only produced in the elemental plane. Crushing a piece will recharge all surrounding creatures with mana. Of course, it was that mission that dissatisfied her the most. It was also that she didn't find a crystal from the corpse of the fire demon as a trophy.

"Lu Xi has a lot of good goods in his hands. You must have killed some of the archdemon's loot, right? Swift Wind said: "If you get it to the auction of Neosfia, maybe you can get 50,000 bakers." Any one caster. For this kind of props that can be used to save lives, they will rush to it. ”

"So, is Blast going to stay and go back to the auction?" Nanoka asked with a smile.

"I think so too, but in order to operate the Four Spirits Circle that eliminated the Black Duke, our consumption is not small, and if we don't replenish it in time, we won't be able to intervene in the battle in the future. Hehe, instead of this, it's better to follow Lu Xi and rush forward, maybe you can get a lot of loot from the killed lich or vampire lord. Blast thought for a few seconds, and quickly made a decision that was in line with her nature. Sure enough, only those who are used to being poor will live!

"Speaking of which, how did Lu Xi recover his magic power? He must be more expensive than us, right? Fit looked into the distance, his tone hesitant.

Tempest and Nanoka looked at each other, and then looked over together. So, in the sight of the three giants of the second generation of an international terrorist organization that was being whitewashed, Lu Xi, who had been facing the black duke for a long time, and Lu Xi, who served as the center of the formation in the Four Spirits Array, theoretically had exhausted his body magic power and should have suffered a lot of injuries on his body, but he picked up the head of the black duke with a spear in one hand, and brandished a long sword in the other hand to kill the group of necromantic knights. He was full of energy, his body was full of energy, as if he had just entered the field, his speed and swordsmanship movements were not deformed at all, and the sword in his hand turned into a silver long whip that exploded the air, and cut down two "loyal" type necromantic knights.

Of course, the four-knife flow doll Jianhao, who was always like Lu Xi's shadow, also followed behind, not only protecting the flanks and back of the "Lord Monarch", but also making up for the fatal swords to those necromantic knights who were put down by Lu Xi and Kirlett, but still had a breath left and were not completely dead.

"Boom!" With a swing of the staff, the chain of lightning turned into a dragon roar of light and heat, blasting several necromantic knights, as well as skeletons and zombies ten times the size of the former.

"It looks even more energetic...... And this guy is actually a troll, right? Yuan Qi Natural Black sighed, and the single ponytail with a vigorous oblique comb suddenly looked a little sluggish, and the expression full of frustration was not bitter. It's more like some kind of cute coquettishness.

"Or maybe his strength is unfathomable? What we see as great consumption is commonplace for him? "The healing natural black shows a very gentle and very demure smile, and you feel purified just by looking at it. But there was a hint of curiosity in those rose-red eyes like sunset.

"Lu Xi has a lot of secrets, just find an opportunity to torture slowly." As the head of the Big Three, Tempest lifted the crystal. Crush it with two fingers. She felt the sensation of the waves of magic circulating through her body, and said, "We need to hurry." According to Lu Xi's plan, reinforcements from the other side will arrive soon, and if we don't speed up our actions, the loot may be robbed. ”

"Reinforcements?" Nanoka looked puzzled. Obviously, Lu Xi only told the wind about his plan. It's not that I don't trust Nanoka and Fit, but I simply think that these two girls with lily tendencies are natural, and although they are strong, they are not necessarily the objects of "big things" that can be discussed, as long as they are honestly responsible for the work they arrange.

"Yes, reinforcements!" The wind pointed to the sky.

"I thought half of the Federation's floating fleet had been wiped out."

"And the other half." Blastwind said: "Also. When did it come from heaven only the floating ship of the Learned Alliance? ”

If there is no plan for reinforcements, although Lu Xi and his friends have killed the black duke, it is indeed possible to make the army of undead and orcs retreat, but that's all.

On the battlefield in the era of cold weapons, the decapitation of the main general may cause chaos and rout of the enemy army, but it may also attract a small number of enemy troops to fight back wildly, and if you are not careful, you will also take your own life. Fortunately, these enemies who want to fight back are a minority after all, with the strength of Lu Xi and his friends. The situation was quickly stabilized. Now, all he needed to do was to hold the gap in the gate and wait for the enemy's confusion.

Of course. The chaos of the undead army will naturally affect the orc army on the side, and after these ten days of various grievances, the military heart of this group of green-skinned people has already fallen to the freezing point. The confusion and defeat of the undead "allies". and the death of the Black Duke Angmar, which may make many orc khans laugh and lose their big teeth. shouted in his heart, "Tell you to pretend, tell you to pretend." Silly now, right? ”

But schadenfreude is only one aspect, and the rout of friendly forces will inevitably have a ripple effect on one's own side. With the organization of the orc army, which is not much better than that of the bandits, the whole army can easily fall into a situation of collapse.

The organization of the army of the Cold Weapon Age, even if it was a heroic and good fighting army, was a tragedy. Once the front army is defeated and the commander is beheaded, the rear army, which cannot see the situation ahead, will also become suspicious, and it will be difficult for them to get orders from their superior generals in the chaotic situation. All sorts of rumors began to circulate, and finally turned into the straw that broke the camel's back. In such a situation, even a famous general with extraordinary talent and a command force of more than 90 will find it difficult to reunite the broken army. Even if it took them a lot of effort and several days to finally restore the army, the losses would be so great that the generals would be terrified. Most of them are people who trampled on each other and died.

And if the enemy launches a fierce pursuit at this time, it is likely to bury an empire that is still on the rise. On this point, Fu Tong's shoes on the bank of the river have a lot to say, even if he is destined to become the holy emperor who created the "Republic of the Six Races" and "the Golden Age", he can only become a clown-like historical villain, and in the end he can only rely on RPG games more than a thousand years later to wash the floor.

Of course, because of that weird game, the supreme founding will of this world immediately turned from pink to black, and became the lifetime black of the famous game series of the Celestial Empire in this hometown.

None of the above qiē is the point. The point is that the number of troops defending the city is only so small, and the only soldiers who are willing to unconditionally obey Lu Xiyi's orders are the remnants of the fleet rescued from the mountains, the defenders of more than 1,000 people in the two banner regiments who have been maliciously brainwashed, and the 800 dark elf assassins brought by the wind. This point of strength was thrown on the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, and it couldn't even make a splash.

The mercenaries and adventurers of Blackman, as well as the citizens of Blackman, can spontaneously participate in the defense of the city in order to protect their homes and the lives of their wives and children, but they are not organized regular soldiers, and they cannot be expected to have the courage to go out of the city to pursue the enemy army.

Estimate it this way. At most, they can only make up 10,000 soldiers. With such a force, it is naturally more than enough to stabilize the battle line. But if you want to counterattack the chaotic enemy army, you can even run them all the way to the Iron Rock Canyon. That's too dangerous. After leaving behind the thick walls and well-defended measures, any sudden awakening counterattack by the enemy army could inflict devastating damage on the forces at hand. Even if you and your friends are all masters of riding a thousand horses, it is impossible to cut down all the enemy troops alone.

There is no way, when fighting in the field, the biggest capital is always the troops, and the real famous generals should not think about the ghost plan of winning more with less, but how to give their troops an advantage every time.

To put it bluntly, Lu Xi has too few chips in his hand. One failure can be doomed. Even if he has four aces in his hand, as long as the enemy still has the possibility of making a straight flush, he can't afford to gamble.

However, after spending so much time on the layout, drilling a rat hole for a week and a half, and fighting for half an old life, he finally killed the Necromantic Lord, is it just a trilogy of letting the enemy complete a rout, stay, and regroup his forces?

Having suffered such a crushing defeat, the orcs and the undead may no longer be able to threaten Black Man, and will have to retreat in disgrace. But their living force. It has not been dealt a heavy blow, and the tug-of-war between the Federation and the undead orc coalition will continue for a long time. In the long run, the Federation, which has already lost half of its floating fleet. I can't really afford it.

Lu Xi said that as a dignified protagonist, he must also be a dignified grand strategist. Don't think that just two pieces of meat can get rid of my brain cells. My slogan is: "Fight the Eagle...... Ah no, specializing in ribs. It doesn't hurt, don't make a little money. ”

So, when the undead were hit by numerous fires at the city gates. When the rout finally began, the balance of the situation continued to tilt in favor of the Federation.

"What if the Black Duke is dead! We can keep fighting. "The army is in decline, and Tiahr, the lich sitting on a scorpion-shaped constructed golem, roars wildly. By this time, he had already received news of Angmar's death. To be sure, as a lich who was in opposition to the Necromantic Knights, the Black Duke's death had a hint of joy in his heart, and he was sure that even the head of his faction, Master Githil, the ringhead of the Council of the Dead, would be overjoyed.

Soon, however, his heart was filled with a sudden surge of rage and fear. A god-of-war figure like Duke Black would even die, what kind of existence does that small city have! What's more, the undead army, lacking the Necromantic Lord, has fallen into an irrepressible chaotic situation.

"We also have 3,000 necromantic knights, more than 2,000 necromancers, and more than 10,000 blood troops, and we have hundreds of thousands of troops under our command! Without a black duke, you won't be able to fight? ”

"But, mentor, the front of the army is mainly commanded by the necromantic knights, and as soon as the black duke dies, the necromantic knights are fighting on their own, and we can't command them...... Moreover, the colleagues in the rear, as well as the blood army, began to waver. One of the lichs replied in a flustered tone.

In fact, necromancers, vampires, and necromantic knights all possess the ability to control low-level undead soldiers. But what if there is a war...... We can't expect the Necromancer and Lich to be so adept at commanding troops; As vanquished ones, the Bloods are not only not treated well by the Lich and Necromantic Knights, but they certainly cannot be fully trusted by the Bone King. Therefore, in a large-scale war, the most reliable military group in the country of the undead in Henas is, of course, only the Necromantic Knight. Now, when the commander of the Necro Knights is dead, and the rest of the knights are under fire, none of the Lich and Blood, who have suffered much loss, have not been able to stand up and regroup their army.

Of course, I can't do it myself, but I always ask others to do it. In any era, in any world, in every race, there will always be people who will do such stupid things.

"Then let the other Necromantic Captains take over the command! Didn't the Necro Knights always claim to be the best army in the world? Then hurry up and do something! ”

"Mentor, mentor......"

"What's wrong again?"

"The Bloodline's army is beginning to retreat."

“…… These lowly bat monsters! I knew they were completely unreliable, and I should have annihilated them in the first place, turning them into puppets and ghost servants of the lichs! Wait until this battle is over, and see how I slowly clean you up! Damn it! Necromantic knights, brave necromantic knights, if it weren't for their stupidity, this battle would not have come to this point. ”

Such a roar of the Lich, regardless of occasion and timing, will certainly not help us in any way. Moreover, his hysterical shout soon stopped, and at this moment, between the southern sky in the distance, suddenly there was a more intense and distant roar, like the long roar of the flood era, deep, passionate and full of majesty.

In the gap in the sea of clouds, gold and silver brilliance flowed, turning into a huge winged figure.

"Dragon! The dragon is coming! An orc roared. At this time, this group of fighting nations rich in pure masters, there was no fearless fighting spirit in their shouts, and they were like lambs that had encountered natural enemies, and their voices were full of panic and helplessness. (To be continued......)
