Chapter 1032: Hold on
In order to avoid a surprise attack by hostile forces, all the visible forces in the Necropolis on the Klein continent have been strategically contracted. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Most of the Necropolis in the Arcane Tower of Istil have been evacuated, leaving only a handful of blood mages to keep it afloat.
Cialis and Jack also took refuge in the Feathered Moon Fortress on Saldor Island, and controlled all public affairs in the Duchy of Novis.
The group of more than 200 necromancers who were subdued seemed to be subservient and hid in the magic tower of the Thundering Fortress, almost out of the sight of Novis and the others.
Strategically, the part of the cemetery that is exposed to people is not much, and most of them are disposables that have no strategic value. Whether it is the Arcane Tower of Isdil in the territory of the Kingdom of Breland, or the territory of the former Kingdom of Morohed that is being recovered, and the Duchy of Novis, which is nominally part of the Necropolis, these are at best the peripheral forces and strongholds of the Necropolis.
Even if it is lost, it will not damage the cemetery in the slightest.
However, if any person or force wants to use these external forces, it is tantamount to exposing himself to the fangs and claws of the cemetery. Once the terrifying strength of the cemetery shrinking into the invisible is revealed, it is destined to be an earth-shattering change!
But everything outside of this body is clearly not the core interest of the Necropolis. What really supports the big cemetery and now the world is the cemetery city hidden in the shadows and the cemetery army that is full of mountains and seas. Of course, as the most beautiful pearl in the Gorgeous Crown, it is the Cemetery heroes who best mark the current power level of the Necropolis.
At present, the legendary heroes in the cemetery who have successfully crossed the threshold of legends include Skeleton King, the commander of the cemetery, Moam, the necromantic dragon, Karthus, the dragon Lich, Hilgai, the Hellgai, the ancestor of the bloodline, Moros the obsidian destroyer, and Arthas, the king of knights. Affiliated to the Necropolis are Fecanth, the Lord of a Thousand Faces, Knox, the Shadow Master, Sid Leungling, the Axe King Vanel, Daren Hutte, and the Plague Daughter Seira.
In addition, the graveyard heroes who are on the threshold of the Holy Order and are still trying to break through include the Doomsday Herald Federtic, the Death Prophet Farina, the Blasphemous Priest Hiberil, the Immortal King, the Eater of Souls Karui, the Ice Lich Plataya, the Demon Sorcerer, the Half-Lich Phinea, and more. Psychic Master Kel'thugad, Forgotten Mage Pakvik, Shadow Fiendon Karen, Silver Mummy Blue, and Shadow Dwarf Assassin Oro have reached level 19.
As for the remaining Zena, Butcher and the others, they have basically reached level 17 or 8, and they are already about to catch up with the mainstream team of the Grand Cemetery.
And these are just the cemetery heroes that Li Xun personally lit.
In addition to them, the Graveyard Legion, which has thrived in countless bloody battles, has also produced many amazing heroes, such as the ghoul king Hegus, the Count of Blood Shadow Esther, the silver phantom Randot, the horror corpse witch Jacob, the death attendant Sauron, the dragon lich Uzel, Vingnos, the schanter Delores, and the bone mage Ann...... Most of them are above 18, and many of them have also become holy level existences, only one step away from the legend of the cemetery.
Of course, in addition to these orthodox experiences, the cemetery also has a lot of supernumeraries who have been promoted through special means. For example, after the blood clan's ancestor Blood Demon became a legend in the cemetery, he relied on the 7 holy sons who were promoted by the first support, all of whom had the strength of the holy rank. It's just that due to the reason of "one glory and one loss", once the blood demon has an accident, it will be difficult for these holy sons to live alone.
For example, the venom warlock resurrected by the Plague Daughter Saila has the strength of the Holy Order, and the king of the Night Elves, Daren Huet, has quickly grown into a legendary-level existence as his race grows step by step. And she is always surrounded by four Holy Order guards, and her professions also include swordsman, swordsman, druid, and dryad.
For example, the two Saint-Order Death Knights promoted by Arthas, the King of Knights, include his former deputy Scarface and another guy with good talents.
For example, the Baro Flame Demon Lord Hilgai, it has recruited as many as 18 Saint-level demons from the demon plane, and the number of Great Demon Rank has reached three digits. It's just that in order to defend against the attack of the demon lords around the demon plane, the mobile combat power it can draw out is only thirty percent.
For example, as the first plane master of the Great Necropolis, Karthas has also recruited 2 saint-level wizards in the wizarding world, and his strength should not be underestimated.
For example, the psychic master Kel'thugad spent a lot of resources to carefully build legendary units for the Necropolis: Winter Ghost, Ice Dragon, and Hell Bringer.
Winter Oni are generally legendary undead creatures that can only be crafted by demigod lichs. However, the old lich was stunned to adopt the method of raising Gu, and let the Saint-level ice ghosts cultivated by the thirteen large cemeteries to this day kill and devour each other, and finally piled up a terrifying winter ghost of the legendary level.
The Ice Dragon is the legendary advancement of the Frost Dragon, and the first to enjoy this glory is, of course, Terrence, who once became the mount of the Lord of the Graveyard.
The Hellbringer is a legendary hellfire, and its existence has consumed a large amount of magical materials and rare resources of the old corpse. The enormous wear and tear caused by building it has made the old corpse witch dare not try to mass-produce it so far.
These legendary graveyard creatures, built on resources and special means, are certainly crippled in combat skills and killing methods compared to those in the wild. However, legendary creatures are legendary creatures after all, and their arrival just fills the vacancy of the current high-level combat power in the cemetery.
And the more peculiar kind of existence in the cemetery, such as the corpse demon Mars, also devoured another corpse demon with Li Xun's approval. This made it instantly elevate to an incalculable Cemetery special combat unit. Like the ghostly giant Therkanes that roams the sea tribe in the autumn winds, they are all special alchemical creations, with the characteristics of undead creatures as well as those of magical creatures.
This makes it difficult to estimate their strength with complete accuracy.
However, the average Holy Rank was simply powerless in the face of their tidal minions, and their own sturdy defensive characteristics were able to withstand the siege of hordes of Holy Ranks. Therefore, the old corpse witch Kel'thugad characterized them as the first level of the legend after they had advanced three times.
After the last bloody battle, the fleeing Undead King finally bowed his head to Li Xun, the lord of the cemetery, after some careful consideration. The War King Herotos, the Earth King Anubrekan, and the Mad King Vlain Fer Ye formally pledged allegiance to the Lord of the Graveyard and accepted the Soul Pact.
And under them, each of them has one or twenty saint-level undead, which adds up to a supernumerary force that cannot be ignored.
Since most of these cemetery heroes, mercenaries, and legions are usually distributed in various cemetery cities, and they are also divided into four or five planes, it is difficult for people to perceive that the cemetery already has such a large number of elite troops.
But now, under a conscription order, they continue to gather from all over the country through the cemetery portal to the banner of the lord of the cemetery, silently making final preparations for the upcoming demigod war.
Of course, the power of his own system cannot be easily exposed to people, so the Necropolis hid them all in one and a half planes, and only a few people were sent to watch the progress of the war in the Elven Continent.
As for this moment, Li Xun, the lord of the cemetery, led more than a dozen cemetery legends who had already appeared to entertain the Mind Flayer and his party in the other half of the plane.
The team led by Elder Gulita of the Mind Flayer is purely composed of 16 Legendary-level Mind Flayers, and it is almost out of the nest. After all, in the last underground battle, they also suffered extremely heavy losses. From this point of view, for this battle of the demigods, they really attach great importance to it, and they have gone all out.
Sitting opposite them are the 13 legends of the Necropolis, including the three undead kings who have just returned. For safety reasons, Li Xun hid the Axe King Varnell, the Night Demon Daren Hutte, and the Plague Daughter Saila, and did not show those legendary troops, so his momentum was slightly inferior to the Mind Flayer Legendary Team that came to visit.
But even so, the strength displayed by the Necropolis has already impressed the Mind Flayers.
You must know that the reason why the Mind Flayer have such a strong strength and huge power is because of the long-term hard work and expansion of all the Mind Flayers. They live in seclusion in the depths of the dark region, and have been quietly operating to build the foundation of the future of the Mind Flayer Demon Kingdom, and it has taken nearly 10,000 years to have such a scale.
And how long did it take for this big cemetery power in front of me to rise from its budding?
The information they had heard from the Mage Guild's insiders indicated that the cemetery had only been prominent for four years, and it had been less than five years since it was full. If the young Graveyard Lord on the other side had really only taken five years to build the scale in front of him, then they would not be as terrifying as the Angela Zerg.
Therefore, after the guest and host sat down, they seemed to be talking happily on the surface, but in their hearts, they had already listed the other party as an important opponent who must be treated carefully in the future.
Of course, they sit here and have a happy face, but in the Elven Continent, there is a river of blood and bones that have already been killed.
One side has a reason to attack and must win, while the other side has already developed a will to live and die, a decisive posture to live and die with the tree of life. Therefore, the fierceness and cruelty of war have completely exceeded the scope of the vast majority of racial wars.
