Chapter 0023: The First Battle of the Cemetery vs. the Undead
1 hour later, there was news.
The two soldiers who had returned to report the news were attacked by the enemy on the way. When the bats with fluttering wings swooped down behind the soldiers from the dark and dreary trees, the two men turned back too late, and the two short screams stopped abruptly. After the two bats lay on the corpse of the soldier and feasted, black smoke flashed, turning into two vampires wearing black trench coats and blood-colored dresses, grabbing the corpse of the soldier and going straight to a certain place.
The Tian eaters who were following the soldiers did not interfere with the hunting of the 2 vampires, until they returned with their prey, they gently bounced between the trees to track, and the 15 Tian eaters lurking near the distant stronghold immediately moved, except for 1 to continue to be on guard, the other 14 quickly moved in the direction of the vampires, faintly forming an encirclement network.
Swift vampires and equally swift eaters scurried through the dense forest, fast but silent, ghostly.
In a remote cave 3 miles away from the stronghold's tower, three necromancers were whispering around the campfire, the same black robes and hats, and the same white bone staff marked the identities of the three people.
Necromancer Garda angrily brandished his bone staff and cursed, "Too weak! Unforgivable weakness! Now that Novis has sharpened his knives, why can't we just let it go? Sneak attack, sneak attack, they will only let us sneak attack, only allow us to bring such a few subordinates, what can we do? ”
"Alright, alright, Garda, do you have an issue with the United Council of the Dead? Do you have any comments on the Excellencies? Necromancer Merkel rebuked:
"Of course I don't have a problem with your Excellency, but the war is about to begin, are you still so divided?" Garda hurriedly explained: "Since we were asked to climb over the Aveli Mountains to attack Novis with great difficulty, why are we not allowed to bring all our subordinates, only 3 vampires?" ”
Necromancer Hurley, who had been silent, sighed, "Because the Federation is still assessing the impact of Novis entering the war. We can't fight on both sides, we need to warn Novis of the fate of angering the necromancers, and we can't provoke them to join the war regardless of a single thing, so the Federation Council only sent 7 teams, each team strictly limited the number of high-level undead, and did not allow us to go too far from the Aveli Mountain. The Federation probably just wants to scare Novis off! ”
Garda lowered his head and was silent, he and Merkel were only level 4 necromancers, while Hurley was already a level 6 necromancer, this team was dominated by mid-level mages Hurley, and when Hurley gave an order, he also had to obey unconditionally.
Hurley saw that the two of them were a little depressed, so he had to explain: "Since we have accepted the task of the United Council, we can only do it, and we don't need to think about it, so don't discuss it anymore!" We keep an eye on this stronghold, turn all the Novis soldiers who come to this stronghold into our slaves, and then fight them in a skirmish, time is always on our side. Garda, the 2 vampires sent out should be back, right? Merkel, get your team ready, attack in a moment, and leave all the people who came today. ”
Merkel nodded: "Those corpses have already been disposed of, I will wake them up before the attack." The people who came today were very vigilant, and they actually burned all the materials left in the tower in advance, but it was a pity that those arrangements were arranged. ”
Garda interjected, "Remember, they also have a mage in their team, and they will kill him first, otherwise they will lose too much material." You saw that strange creature in the afternoon, it was definitely not something that should be found in the mountains of Avili, it looked like a mutated ghoul! Could it be that there are other necromancers in our neighborhood? ”
As soon as the three of them finished their discussion, they sensed the approach of the vampire, and Hurley stood up and beckoned, "Let's go, it's almost time, it's time to clean up the poor dead people!" ”
Out of the hole, Merkel walked around to a wooded area on the side, where the corpses she had collected from the stronghold had been transformed into zombies and buried here waiting to be awakened. Hurley and Garda stood at the entrance of the cave as they watched the vampire approach with the two corpses as they discussed the battle that awaited.
Suddenly, Master Hurley sensed something, turned around and rushed to Merkel, who was walking to the edge of the woods, and shouted: "Be careful, come back quickly!" ”
Before the words fell, black shadows flashed in the woods in front of Merkel, and several fierce figures jumped into the air in the night and pounced on the stunned Merkel.
Merkel staggered backwards, and immediately activated the spell "Mage Armor" pre-stored on the staff with her fastest speed, and before she could stop, the Mage Armor shook violently and was about to shatter. Merkel didn't have time to hold the spell, so she pulled down the bone tooth necklace around her neck and smashed it down. With a muffled bang, the strong negative energy wave burst out, forming a violent shock wave that washed over the surrounding 10 meters, and all the living matter within the range quickly withered under the erosion of negative energy, it was simply a small death wither, but it was a pity that he himself was also within the scouring range. Too much negative energy is also a burden for necromancers, who are only used to negative energy, not love it. The mage's shield had been shattered, and Merkel's soul fire was washed away with a tremble, and as soon as he stabilized his soul, he saw two blood basins biting viciously. As soon as it was dark, Merkel only had time to exclaim in her heart that "undead creatures" lost her life.
Hurley and Garda looked at Yiqi in front of them in anger, and in less than 7 seconds, a companion died tragically in front of him, and what was this that killed him? By the way, I have seen that the ghoul-like creature that appeared in the stronghold in the afternoon is no longer one, but four, and they swarmed up, tearing Merkel apart before she could react with a swift speed.
Garda cursed, and was about to command the vampire who had just arrived next to him to attack, but Hurley grabbed him and shouted: "Defend with all your strength, they are also undead, don't use necromancy, there are still behind!" ”
Just when the two of them summoned the vampire to defend with all their strength and blessed themselves with armor like a fire, 11 more Tian eaters rushed at them from the way when the vampire came!
Hurley screamed, and the "Necromantic Immobilization Technique" was thrown into the rushing team of Tian Eaters, and the Tian Eaters flipped on their backs for a while, and they overturned 6 in succession, and the ones behind either jumped up or scattered, buying time for the two necromancers. Garda's "Fireball Technique" fell on the 6 Tian Eaters rolling together, bursting into scorching flames, killing 1 in an instant and severely injuring 3 Tian Eaters.
The vampires on the heads of the two necromancers re-transformed into human forms, rushed up and entangled the 4 Tian eaters who had just killed Merkel, both were undead, so they saved a lot of redundant actions to cover the parry, all of them were ferocious bites and scratches, and every moment, both sides were creating wounds. The vampire was obviously more agile in his movements, and although he was 2 to 4, he still suppressed the Tian Eater and couldn't move forward.
Due to the support of the Tian Eater with Li Xun's soul connection, the Necromantic Fixation Technique could not last, and soon the 2 necromancers fell into the siege of the 8 Tian Eaters. 8 intact Tian eaters are scattered around the mage to take turns, 3 of the heavily injured ones are scattered around the periphery waiting for an opportunity, every time a mage wants to cast a spell to attack, there will be a Tian eater straight in front of him, covering his vision with his body, trying to exchange the casualties of one Tian eater for the full attack of the remaining Tian eaters.
"Someone directs them." Hurley first discovered the problem, he knew very well that this kind of undead creature did not have a high IQ, and most of them still relied on instinct to act, and it was impossible to be like this, with a clear division of labor and discipline.
Garda's shield had already been broken, and he barely escaped the 2 Tian eaters under Hurley's cover, and used the "Arrow of Life" to force back the one that attacked Hurley, and he was flustered for a while, and quickly screamed: "Quickly summon your vampire!" ”
Hurley was speechless for a while, if he could recruit it, he would have recruited it a long time ago, and it would take nearly 5 seconds to hold the spell by opening his soul space to summon the undead creatures he carried with him, depending on the current situation, Garda didn't even have a shield, who could buy himself this long 5 seconds? Being able to say such a thing, it seems that Garda has lost his cool, and it is better to stay with him than to break through on his own.
Time is pressing, just do it when you think of it, after Hurley shouted "run separately", he rushed to the direction with the fewest Tian eaters, and did not hesitate to use the "fireball ring" on his hand, opened the way with 3 fireballs, and with a continuous explosion, blew up the 4 Tian eaters who were in the way, and tried to rush out. Only ran 10 meters before I heard Garda's scream, my heart trembled, and I slowly stood still, blocking the road in front of me was 3 Tian eaters who were hit hard at the beginning, although most of the body was scorched, but still firmly stopped in front of him.
Hurley shouted in despair, "Who are you?" I'm a member of the Council of the Dead, and you're ......"
Before he could finish speaking, his neck hurt, and his head had been bitten off by the Tian Eater.
Li Xun looked at the battlefield through the soul connection, Tian Eater 4 dead, 7 seriously injured and 4 lightly injured, still within the acceptable range, he smiled, let the injured 7 Tian Eaters hunt freely, 4 lightly injured Tian Eaters searched the necromancer and the cave, and collected all the loot that could be taken back and brought it back, then rubbed his forehead and slowly retracted his consciousness.
The first time I directly used the soul connection to direct the operation felt very fresh and peculiar, but the burden was not small, especially the use of the soul connection to help Tian eaters resist the "necromantic fixing technique", and the head was a little painful, and so on in the future, there were more and more subordinate creatures, so that accurate command operations require strong spiritual support, and it seems that the attribute points of the latter levels must be pointed on the spirit.
With a smile, Li Xun was finally able to sleep peacefully.
