Chapter 0552 - Fierce Soldiers

The crowded Stratholme was very lively at the moment.

The undead mercenaries with a keen sense of smell have already detected the breath of the war from the clues, so under the call of friends, nearly 70% of the mercenary team in the entire cemetery has squeezed into this city that has been in a state of war.

The Mission Hall, City Square, Nightmare Inn, Tavern of the Dead, and Psychedelic Gardens have almost all become the places they must go to find out and exchange information. However, the so-called Tavern of the Dead here is not a heavily guarded cemetery tavern, but a real tavern with the characteristics of the undead that the nimble "Isa Public Service" has spent a lot of money to renovate and expand. After the trial operation, the undead mercenaries unanimously responded well, so it has now been opened in all the cemetery cities.

First of all, the bar owner of the Tavern of the Dead is all the same ironhead as Isa.

Secondly, the maids of the Tavern of the Dead are all beautiful little banshees and some low-level succubi who come out to beg for a living.

Most importantly, the most famous of the liquor sold in the Tavern of the Dead, the "Soul Rejuvenation Wine", is the main ingredient of soul crystals. These soul rejuvenation wines, specially blended by an unscrupulous corpse witch, are equipped with special hallucinogenic alchemy potions with soul crystals, which can nourish and strengthen the soul fire while making the drinker fall into some memorable scenes in the depths of the soul.

This is especially sought after by all undead mercenaries.

You must know that ordinary hallucinogenic substances and spells are almost impossible to take effect on the body of the undead, and only these special alchemical potions with soul crystals can make an undead creature fall into a dream scene and cannot extricate itself.

Since becoming a cold and desireless undead creature, the warm and comfortable beds, the romantic and beautiful scenery, the sweet and delicious food, and the warmth of relatives around you have become distant and vague memories. Even many of the undead who have survived for too long have lost even these memories.

But at this moment, as long as you drink a glass of soul wine, those broken memories hidden in the depths of the soul fire will be stirred out. Those who thought they would never be able to experience the past again will come to them through time and space, allowing them to experience the forgotten past once again in the smoke.

This experience is enough to drive every undead insane.

For a time, this lucky corpse witch Gris made a lot of money just by selling the soul wine. The wealth he possessed directly overwhelmed several veteran acting city lords, and in a short period of time, he directly became the richest man in the cemetery.

This idea of the sword going off the edge immediately ignited the enthusiasm of all spellcasters.

Alchemy? As long as you are a successful spellcaster, who doesn't know one or two hands of alchemy, the only obstacle is probably the high price of soul crystals. If you want to use it to find a mature alchemy formula, I am afraid that you can only hope that like the corpse witch who has gone through the shit luck, a glimmer of inspiration that he accidentally got when performing other spells is realized, and it will be achieved once in a while.

Countless corpse witches, skeleton mages, and dragon lichs have tried to crack the alchemy formula of the "Soul Rejuvenation Wine" in reverse, but all of them have failed. As a result, "Lucky Gris" has become the most popular word in the Grand Cemetery, and it has become popular in almost all cemetery cities.

And the alchemy room of the mage tower in the cemetery city has also been overcrowded since then, crowded with speculators waiting to carry out alchemy.

From then on, the most fashionable life in the cemetery was to visit the psychedelic garden, drink a glass of "soul wine" at the Tavern of the Dead, and then sleep soundly in the Nightmare Hotel.

However, with its high price, most undead mercenaries only dare to come once in ten days and half a month, otherwise I am afraid that they will not even be able to save merit points for repairing equipment.

When Arthas, who had been on a long expedition, rushed back to Stratholme with the dusty Knights of the Black Blade, he found that the whole city was singing a name: Lucky Gris.

"Is the city crazy?" As soon as Alsace, covered in frost and wind cold, stepped into the town hall, he couldn't help but complain. Compared to the last time he left, Stratholme was much more vibrant, but also full of an explosive sense of madness.

The streets are filled with corpse witches dancing with skeleton shelves and undead knights hooking up with abominations, which simply subverts the limits of Arthas's imagination.

"Haha, you've been away for a long time, it's time to come back and get to know the cemetery life again!" The Skeletron sat on the Bone Throne, holding a huge bone wine glass in his hand and shaking it gently, looking serene and quiet, and he was also in a state of "drunkness".

Drunken? Undead?

These two words that have never been in line with each other have come together a rare time today, which made this cold cemetery hero with a wind and frost sword also appear in a trance.

What happened to the cemetery today?

However, Skeletron is also an old cemetery hero after all, and the so-called gaffe only lasted for a while, and he soon came to his senses. Stratholme was most likely facing an invasion by a legendary lich, and this emergency military situation made him also become restless, and he quickly contacted his master Li Xun who was far away in the Klein continent through the Guò Soul System.

With the implementation of one measure after another, and with the issuance of military orders one after another, a new war mobilization began in the cemetery, which had just been silent.

The rear is being armed, and the most important intelligence work is in the hands of Oro, who has been keeping an eye on the outskirts of the hidden valley. When a large number of ghost killers and batdemon skyriders filled every area where the hostile forces were located, the enemy's every move was instantly transmitted to Skeletron's hands.

War is approaching.

According to the determination of the Bat Demon Sky Rider, a large-scale wave of undead corpses is gathering in the core area of the enemy's forces, and the scale is unprecedented. It can be seen that the enemy has done his best, and really intends to take Stratholme in the Necropolis with one blow.

However, due to the tight blockade of Stratholme in the early stage, the enemy still does not know who they are fighting with, so they may not know about the existence of the cemetery city at all. If this is put to good use, it is likely to give the legendary lich an indelible memory.

Originally, Arthas asked for orders to continue to attack and sweep the enemy's core area and disrupt the rhythm of the opponent's attack, but this request was directly rejected by Skeletron. Now it's also time to meet the legendary lich Tu Dagger, at this time, the Knights of the Black Blade will send it to the door, I am afraid that they will directly encounter the strangulation of the legendary lich, and whether they win or lose, it will be a little more than worth the loss.

Moreover, after several successive high-level meetings, a complete combat plan was basically formed. On the contrary, the cemetery can't wait to lure the enemy forces to the cemetery city to gather and annihilate them, and how can it scare the opponent away.

Since it was a civil war of the undead, the army of vampires who were "outsiders in the civil war" were no longer recruited into the army, but were stationed in the demon plane to suppress the field for Hilgai. And the stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility, the soul guard Hilgai was once again honorably recruited into the army.

At present, there is only one level 20 saint-rank hero in the graveyard, so he can't be absent in any large-scale war, otherwise he can only offset the opponent's rank advantage with massive casualties.

However, undead wars have always been known for their slow procrastination. Although the other party has begun to gather troops, it is roughly estimated that it will take nearly a month to complete the gathering of millions of undead and then drag it to Stratholme, so the time for the cemetery to prepare for war is sufficient. This also drove the Cemetery troops, accustomed to blitzkrieg and quick reflexes, mad again.

……

Just as the group of people huddled in the cemetery in Stratholme silently waited for the enemy to "crawl" in front of them, a certain alchemical life far away in the sea area of the Patsel Ocean Empire lived a miserable life of hiding in Tibet.

The movement of crossing this vast maritime empire under the orders of his master was so unsmooth that it made Therkanes stumble all the way. Compared with the arrogance and unscrupulousness when it first set off, the ghost warship at this moment has completely become a good hand at stealth and guerrilla.

In terms of appearance alone, the ghost battleship has changed a lot.

The damage after several wars was finally restored after eating the sea, and the energy came from some hapless sea creatures, and the filling materials were either human merchant ships encountered by chance, or corals, seaweeds, reefs, and the like from local materials. Therefore, the ghost warship at this time looks like a huge green reef floating in the sea, and there are a lot of coral seaweed attached to it.

Many times, it will sink to the bottom of the sea and disguise itself as a common green reef rock to fool the search of the sea tribes, and it will do its best to avoid any battles that can be avoided.

Such modifications will slow down its sailing speed, but it will also greatly reduce the chance of detection. After all, with the vastness of the Sea Clan realm, it was impossible for those Sea Clan warriors to search every submarine reef.

But as a result, what was already a distant goal is now even more out of reach.

At this moment, in front of the ghost warship is a magnificent sea fortress.

Rolling submarine volcanoes have sprung up here, many of which have jutted out of the sea, forming islands, reefs, and atolls. However, below sea level, in some gap between the mountains, the Sea Clan built a series of sturdy and practical war bunkers, and built an even larger sea fortress accordingly.

This sea fortress covers a vast area, covering a radius of 100 miles, and has completely become an important entry and exit point for the Sea Clan, with heavy troops stationed. Therefore, it is definitely not a wise move to rush into such a Sea Clan fortress, but it is not easy to get around the city. On the left and right sides, there are dangerous Jedi places that the sea clan does not dare to set foot in, and it is the habitat of some sea monsters, and once they are provoked, I am afraid that the ghost warship will not be able to eat and walk around.

So the only way to do that is to venture to the surface of the sea and cross from there.

But after all, this is an important fortress on the border of the Sea Clan, and the sea tribe patrols are densely packed with no dead ends in all directions, and if you want to cross the past silently, you must choose a "good day" to do it.

Therefore, Thercanes had no choice but to choose a place to hide and live a miserable life of "waiting for the wind to come".
