Chapter 0738 - Everything is complicated
For Little Jack's efforts, Li Xun of course also sees it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This time, he was asked to contract with a level 17 dryad, which was an affirmation and reward for his efforts. As for the necessary trials and tempering, Li Xun had already considered it. The invitation to the abyss that the legendary demon warlock said is about to come soon, and I am afraid that this trip will also be indispensable for a big battle, just for little Jack to take the opportunity to experience it.
Anyway, with Li Xun guarding, there must not be much of a problem.
However, before setting off for the abyss, Li Xun still had to deal with some daily affairs at home.
The first major event, of course, was the "remnants" of the cemetery left behind in the territory of the United Council of the Dead.
Under the rush of the corpse demon Mars day and night, it was not far from the destination marked by Li Xun. It was a small city of Andorjar on the edge of the northern realm of the United Council of the Dead. Backed by the Whispering Coast and surrounded by rolling hills and steep mountains, it is a natural and dangerous place that is difficult to defend and difficult to attack.
It's a pity that it was precisely because the terrain there was too difficult and dangerous that the United Council of the Dead directly razed the small city of Andohar to the ground after it was conquered.
It was under the instruction of Li Xun that the corpse demon Mars rushed to the ruins of Andohar with the "remnants of the army" after the Battle of Kuromu Lake, and re-established himself there.
The surveillance force sent by the Council of the Dead has been dotted with them from afar. Seeing that they were encamped there, the undead army also built a fortress in another dangerous place 50 miles away, called the Undead Fortress, and stationed a large army to firmly seal the ruins of Andohar inside.
Although the elite main force brought by the corpse demon was successively withdrawn by Li Xun, leaving only a small but elite tomb guarding force, the Council of the Undead uncharacteristically did not rush up and completely wipe them out, but chose to leave them to their own devices. Although Li Xun, the Yingying ghost and ghost immersed in it, was unpredictable, he did not delay him from pushing the boat down the river and leaving a nail there.
Even if the Undead Federation of Demons swallowed this meat bait with a ferocious blow, Li Xun would only lose a corpse demon, but the next fierce revenge of the cemetery may not be something that the Undead Federation Council can bear. Since the return of a large number of veteran legendary spellcasters from the Mage Guild, several lichs in the Council of the Dead have also been much more low-key. Except for the chickens and dogs that are still fighting at Novis, several other fires have been extinguished one after another, showing that the other party has no intention of provoking a big war.
For the venomous snake with its head and tail hidden in the cemetery, in fact, several legendary lichs have long hated it, and they wish to eradicate it as soon as possible. It's a pity that the main force of the cemetery is always hidden in the shadows, just like the hydra, and what is revealed is always only part of the strength. Even if the legendary lich launched a ruthless attack to cut off the exposed snake's head, it could not stand the other party's strong regeneration ability, and came to harass it over and over again.
In this case, without figuring out the main body of the Necropolis, the Council of the Dead will never be able to make up its mind to fight it to the death. The Necropolis may be able to afford it, but the Council of the Dead definitely can't afford it. Once outsiders see the flaws, those legendary enemies may not be willing to be lonely.
Even now, the territories around the United Council of the Dead seem to have changed little, but behind the scenes, the countries bordering the United Council of the Dead have also begun to secretly increase their troops on the border. It's hard to say whether or not there is any influence exerted by legendary figures, otherwise with the fierce reputation of legendary lichs, those countries would dare to provoke the fire of the Council of the Dead in such a way.
In short, until the Lich Leader Shane VII is able to escape, and before the legendary Lich Ragong returns smoothly, the remaining three Legendary Lich really don't plan to make another wave. If everything can be delayed until the Novis plan succeeds, then the immediate peace situation is also what they cannot want.
After simply settling the defense work of the corpse demon Mars, Li Xun quickly focused on the second thing.
According to the information sent back by the demon wizard of the Abyss plane, the soul aura of the death singer Karthas briefly appeared in the abyssal world, but unfortunately it was completely cut off before he could be contacted. However, before breaking off contact, he had passed back an inexplicable dimensional coordinates, not from the wizarding world, but from the abyss world.
This plane coordinate has been identified by the demon girl Molica, and it should be located in the Valley of Poison on the 489th layer of the Abyss Plane.
It was once ruled by a powerful Balor demon called Tarnheim, though he is gone. The atmosphere of that plane is a mist of acid vapor, constantly replenished by volcanic eruptions, which leave behind a scene of utter destruction.
Although Tarnheim is missing, the demonic minions guarding the territory still maintain the territory and are very unfriendly to uninvited guests. There are many large and small demon lords there, all fighting hard for the vacant plane lord status.
For such vague and more like a false alarm, the demon wizard also reported it to the master of the cemetery because of repeated reports. Somehow, Li Xun felt a little strange as soon as he received this information. Out of the importance of soul intuition, Li Xun decided to recruit a small adventuring team to infiltrate this 489th plane to investigate. If there is really any movement inside, it is not too late to send an army of the cemetery.
And this extremely dangerous adventure was picked up by the Doom Guard. He picked a few more companions among the necropolis mercenaries, and then left the Chaos and stepped into the portal to the Abyss Plains. At present, the two small abyssal planes in the hands of the Necropolis do not have a portal or path to the Valley of Poison, and if you want to go to the 489th floor, you can only try your luck in the Abyss Plain, where you may be able to find a direct portal.
After the second matter was dealt with, Li Xun began to pay attention to the third memo submitted by Zena, the lord of the Feathermoon Fortress.
As a cemetery city built overseas by the Grand Necropolis, the Feathering Moon Fortress naturally has the convenience of communicating with the Sea Clan, and it is also an important platform for the Grand Cemetery and the Sea Clan to conduct business transactions. For more than half a year, Zena has been quite handy in what she has done, and has almost turned the Fortress of Hazuki into a trading capital.
However, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. As can be seen from Zena's recent memo, the trouble with the Feathermoon Fortress has come.
On the one hand, there are troubles from within the Sea Clan.
Bartering is of course beneficial to both parties, but every group is full of opportunists. The monthly trade between the Feather Moon Fortress and the surrounding Sea Clan has undoubtedly attracted the covetous attention of some guys. Some ill-intentioned Sea Tribes began to try to plunder and loot the Sea Tribes caravans heading to Saldo Island, and sent troops to blockade the waters around Saldo Island.
This can only be said that Zena's early secrecy work was too good. Behind the scenes, the cemetery city of Feathercap Fortress has never been exposed, but standing on the bright side is a fake city with Zena's eyes mixed up. Xu was too obscure, so that some sea tribes lost their awe, so they came to the door with a big thorn.
For such a military provocation, Zena naturally has a way to deal with it. But the intervention of another wave of forces made it difficult for her.
This second wave of power comes from the Temple of Justice.
The last time he was hit by the gecko's tail breaking plan, the attention of the Temple of Justice was lured to Half Moon Island by the dragon lich Vinoxis, and the risk of a leak on Saldor Island was initially solved.
Unfortunately, as the fame of Saldor Island grew, this mysterious force that suddenly rose to prominence aroused the suspicion of the Temple of Justice again. In recent times, many knights and priests from the Temple of Justice have been in and out of the waters off Novis, which is not reassuring.
The Necropolis is currently entangled with the Council of the Dead, and if it is a unilateral defense against the invasion of the Sea Clan, Zena, as the owner of the Graveyard, will be able to complete a military operation of this magnitude on her own. But once the Temple of Justice is involved, she has to report to the owner of the cemetery first.
Otherwise, she could not afford to be charged with starting a war with the church without authorization.
After communicating with several high-level city lords in the cemetery, and consulting with all the dragon lich staff in turn, Li Xun had to issue an urgent order to the Blood Throne of the Blood Demon to investigate the recent developments of the Temple of Justice.
To be honest, with the slow infiltration in the recent period, the Blood Throne with the high-level blood clan as the core has successively installed subordinate forces in most of the human realms of the Crane Continent. However, in areas where the power of the church is more severe, only the bloodlines of the bloodor's level can escape the ubiquitous evil detection, so the bloodwarlocks led by Sara have been sent to these countries, where they silently run the underground intelligence network of the cemetery.
This is also one of the main reasons why Li Xun has rarely seen a group of blood warlocks recently.
Once the matter of Saldor Island has been decided, the following is the trivia near the Undercity.
Since the Necropolis directly sent troops to destroy the city of Rasmufer, a well-guarded undead fortress has been established on the ruins of the city of Drow, firmly blocking the Undercity behind it. However, recently, the lower passage of the undead fortress seems to be a little unpeaceful, and it is obvious that some underground forces who do not know whether they are alive or dead are spying on the reality of the undead.
These damn creatures really don't remember to eat, and the destruction of a drow city can't extinguish their never-ending greed, and they dare to cast their covetous eyes on the Undercity.
As the main city of the cemetery, the Undercity is the core of all the cemetery portals, and if something happens, the free flow of the entire cemetery will be stuck. Moreover, the cemetery "artifact" Yasha's Tears where Li Xun set his life is also placed here, which will never be snooped on.
Gritting his teeth, Li Xun immediately issued a strict order to the Holy Light Skeleton Hiberil stationed in the Dark City, and an elite cemetery army took the initiative to attack from the undead fortress, sweeping all the underground passages and biological nests within a radius of 100 miles in the shortest possible time, nipping all signs of danger in the bud.
