Chapter 0466 - Attacking the Garrison
The main legions of the cemetery are the vampire troops and the ghoul witch troops that have already taken shape.
With the leadership of the new Blood Mage, the combat power of these beginner-level vampires will also increase exponentially, especially when they surround the Blood Mage, and they also initially have the faint effect of blood-sucking symbiosis. This undoubtedly makes them even more powerful.
However, compared to the bloodsucking symbiosis of the genuine bloodline, this weakened version of the bloodsucking symbiosis is more akin to simple soul preservation. It requires a blood mage to be quick and able to keep the vampire's soul core alive while it perishes, so that it can transform again with the help of his teammates.
Either way, this made the young mage dare to send these blood-thin and brittle guys into frontal battle.
And the team of corpses scattered in the queue of the cemetery is an indispensable team of spellcasters for every army. With their surviving, this cemetery party can become a terrifying army that can grind all enemies to death with almost infinite endurance.
The assault of the cemetery team is completed by a combination of abomination and necromancy, such a combination of high and low, which has both the effect of a meat shield and a sharp spear. As for the real effect, it also needs to be tested by a real battle.
All the high-ranking members of the cemetery followed the young mage's side, flying in the air, silently moving forward. In front of them were the surging armies of lickers and ghost legions, and beneath them were tightly formed phalanxes of vampires and hordes of necrowitches.
Just as the young mage was thinking about the order of attack on the remaining Drow families, a faint fluctuation of divine power suddenly came from somewhere in the distance.
The young mage jerked his head up and re-entered the shadow of his hood, his eyes gleaming at the source of the fluctuations in his divine power. Although he had never been to that location before, judging by the map drawn by Zena, it should be the residence of the Fourth Family.
A grim smile flowed from the corners of his pale mouth in the shadow of the hood. Since Philen is so anxious to find death, let's start with her first!
Almost at the same time as sensing the young mage's mind, the attack center of the entire cemetery army shifted significantly. The black-and-red vampire legion and the dark-colored scattered squad of ghouls moved through the white wave, aiming for the Fourth Family Residence.
The journey of one or two miles can be said to be fleeting. Half an hour later, the entire cemetery higher-ups had already arrived above the Fourth Family Residence.
However, at this moment, the army of white lickers has poured into the territory of the Fourth Family, which uses the Adamantite Fence as the first layer of obstacles.
In front of them were rows of slave armies waiting in battle. The army of 700 slaves, armed with a variety of rudimentary weapons, lined up in terror in front of the thick adamantite gates of the family residence, leaning against the hard sedimentary rock walls behind them, bravely resisting the invasion of the undead.
The Fourth Family's residence was built in a hollowed-out rock wall, and the door to its interior was tightly closed. Only above the front of the rock wall were countless large and small shooting ports and traps, and only those drow nobles were able to enter and exit with the help of levitation.
Judging by this posture, this group of slave soldiers is not so much fighting in the back of the city, but rather abandoned by the Drow outside the family station, and has become a veritable cannon fodder force.
However, from the sharp crossbow arrows that flickered with cold light sticking out of the many shooting holes in the rock wall, it can be imagined that if you want to clean up these cannon fodder, the cemetery also needs to pay a certain price.
It's a pity that the cemetery never cares about casualties!
When the upper echelons of the cemetery appeared from a distant place as far as the eye could see, the war on the front line had begun in full swing. By the time everyone flew 100 meters away from the gate of the Fourth Family's residence, the battle outside the gate was basically over.
The young mage swept his eyes, and among the corpses of the enemies lying in wait, he only saw the existence of weak races such as goblins, rat people, underground gnomes, gray dwarves, and lizardmen, and occasionally some monsters that were too large. And those ogres, bear goblins, and minotaurs, who are known as strong races, can only be seen, and most of them are old wounds or disabled waste.
It seems that there will inevitably be a tunnel battle and a tough battle below.
The young mage, who had been mentally prepared for this, just turned his head, and the army of vampires and ghosts, mainly Phantoms, Bloodfiends, and Delores, immediately began to forcibly attack.
The main entrance of the Drow family is made of fine gold-plated half-meter-thick special steel, which can not only resist physical attacks, but also resist a considerable amount of magical attacks, which can be called almost indestructible. However, Li Xun didn't plan to send someone to test the solidity of the adamantite, but sent the most powerful abomination, two in groups, two in a group to pull away and frantically hit the adamantite gate.
The gate may be indestructible, but now it's up to the door shaft to be as impregnable as the gate!
And at this moment, in the main entrance hall of the Fourth Family, which is only separated by a wall from the cemetery, there are countless minotaurs with big shoulders and round waists holding against the back side of the pure gold gate with their shoulder blades, stiffly carrying the impact from the outside. On both sides of the gate, dense thick metal pillars are being driven into the ground one by one.
The metal pillars pressed against the gate at one end and into the hard floor at the other. As the outside continued to crash, dust continued to fall on the rock wall three or four meters thick, turning everyone behind the door into mud figures.
A Drow Martial Arts Master was shouting and directing hoarsely, one moment urging the servants to carry more metal columns, and the next moment directing the servants to use stone sticks and mallets to ram the ground behind the door and compact. His voice had to get higher and higher, as the dull sound of the massive weight striking the metal door made everyone dizzy, and their ears roared, and they couldn't make out the words of each other if they didn't scream loudly.
Even though they were so tightly guarded, reinforcing the adamantite gates layer after layer, all the metal pillars continued to retreat in the midst of the uninterrupted impact, arching a large chunk of the notoriously solid sedimentary rock floor. Some of the thigh-thick metal pillars that had been overwhelmed had been visibly bent, squeaking with each impact.
"Sue the mages, attack with a spell immediately!"
Drow's hoarse voice grabbed a grizzled ordinary warrior and yelled in his ear.
The many spell traps that had been placed outside the gate had been leveled by the enemy with those cheap ghouls, and even the few flamevents left above the gate had been blocked by the other party in some way. At first, the many firing ports in the dark passages on the rock wall could not stop attacking the enemies outside with crossbow arrows and scrolls, but they were soon penetrated by the massive spirits that came from the wind, and the two sides fought for their lives in the narrow space that was unbearable.
Judging from the news just fed back, it can be judged that some of the secret passages on the upper floor have been lost, and most of the secret passages and secret rooms are still in fierce competition.
At this time, the only ones who can attack the door and make the undead temporarily stop are those dark mages. Both the "Sea of Fire" and the "Wall of Fire" can turn the outside of the gate into a world of magical flames, giving the drows inside the gate a little time to repair and fill in the broken fortifications.
However, at this time, it really takes a strong enough heart to send those delicate and expensive drow mages to the front of the dark tunnels to launch a magical attack. When the request was finally passed to a well-connected command hall in the rear, the Drow mages who heard the request shook their heads and refused, which made the Drow commander, who had no command of ordinary warriors, furious but helpless.
In the end, it was a Drow priestess who gave a direct order and sent up to 10 elite warriors to protect it, and the chosen Drow mage entered the dark passage with a bitter face.
……
Dark and deep shadows stretched out in front of my eyes, and the narrow dark passages that were annoying were crooked, without any light.
The tunnels here are only suitable for the thin body of the Drow warriors, and with the natural dark vision and infrared vision of the Drow clan, this lightless world is actually the best battlefield for the Drow warriors' "double knife flow" and "blind fighting technique".
If it weren't for the overwhelming army of ghosts, the Drow warriors and Drow assassins would not have been defeated in such terrain, losing one position after another.
The whole team stalked silently and touched ahead. At each fork in the road, the leader of the group, the Drow Weapon Master, would stop for a few fingers, listening intently and carefully discerning every movement in the distant tunnel. Those tunnels where there are faint bursts of fighting mean the enemy's survival, but those silent tunnels are not necessarily safer.
The Drow warriors were really tired of this kind of ghosts and resentful spirits that could move silently between the stone walls. Their bodies may be too fragile to withstand a single slash from an enchanted drow scimitar, but the sheer number of them can easily make them weaker. And at this time, it's usually the best time for some vampires to sneak up on you.
These vampires usually take the form of small, inconspicuous vampire bats, climbing the stone walls and making silent progress. Only when the time comes to kill will they suddenly transform and launch a swift attack. Every Drow warrior they succeed will lose their strength due to blood loss, and become their blood food in the ensuing dogfight.
With more fights and fewer strikes, and sneak attacks, these cunning vampires have become the most hated enemies of the remaining Drow warriors who stick to the tunnels. If it weren't for the over-well-equipped Drow warriors, the high popularity of enchanted weapons and magical equipment, and the almost single wave of sneak attacks, these vampires would have been able to make all the tunnels in the first line of defense change hands.
It is conceivable that in such a chaotic position where enemies and enemies are mixed and intertwined, if you want to pass through this rugged and twisted 300-meter tunnel, you really need to have strong strength and even more powerful luck.
