Chapter Twenty-Nine: Big Trouble
When Rhodes walked out of the Summoning Realm Gate, his whole body was refreshed. Of course, he knew that if he allowed unqualified people to contact the summoning stone center at will, it would cause disorder and destruction of the summoning connection, so that the summoned elemental creatures would be uncontrollable, and it was precisely because of this that Rhodes would let Greyhill and Madaras come forward to deal with this matter, anyway, it was not in his own camp, so he didn't care whether the summoned fire elemental creatures listened to his orders or not. It's kind of a coming-and-going, and we can't just let you bones wander around here without us saying anything.
"Rod, you're back!"
Just as Rod walked up the stairs and came to the hall on the first floor, he saw Marlene and Lijie, who felt the teleportation fluctuations, also hurried over, and when they saw Rode's figure, they couldn't help but sigh.
"You're all right, Mr. Rhodes?"
"With Miss Ben here, what can happen to this damn human?!"
Before Rod could reply, Celestina walked out from behind him with a gloomy face, and she glared at them both coldly, then raised her head and turned around, snorting coldly and not speaking. In the face of the sudden appearance of Selestina, Marlene and Lijie didn't say much, but looked at each other and smiled bitterly, although they didn't have much contact with Selestina, but they were very clear about the fact that there were all kinds of strange people around Rod.
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
Rod glanced at Serestina with his arms folded, and looked at Celestina on the side with a huff, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes. But soon Rhodes turned around and spoke to the two of them. However, as soon as he said the question at hand, Rod's face suddenly became serious.
"But this time I went to investigate and the harvest was not small. Gather everyone at once, I have important matters to discuss at once. β
"It's good."
Seeing the serious expression on Rod's face, the two also understood that Rhodes must have obtained some very important information by going to the camp of the undead this time, so they didn't say anything more, but nodded and quickly turned to leave. Start gathering other people.
Looking at the figure of the two leaving, Rod raised his eyebrows, but thinking of everything he had seen before, Rod couldn't help but feel a little struggling. Although Rhodes had made up his mind about how to resist the undead after scouting the enemy, there were times when the decisions he made were not the ones he likedβββ if he could have killed them as easily as he had dealt with the hapless necromancer before......... It's a pity that this world is always not as you wish. But............... It's not just himself who doesn't go as planned, and this alone is enough for Rod to spew out the stuffy breath in his chest before. There is nothing more pleasurable than basing one's own happiness on the pain of others.
Someone must be furious right now.
Rhodes was not wrong at all, because at this moment, some Lich Lord was almost about to blow up his lungsβββ if he still had lungs.
"Knock !!"
Curlender's withered palm slammed on the table, and even the parchment map on the table jumped, and the whole tent fell silent, and Schrodinger held the kitten in his arms, cowering in the corner in horror, looking at the big and heavy back of the lich. He could feel the intense killing intent emanating from the lich's body, and at this moment, Schrodinger even felt the alarm bell ringing in his body. Even if the terrible lich had crushed himself to scum the next moment, Schrodinger didn't think it would be any surprise, and he looked around, only to see that everyone else was silent at the moment. Duran, the vampire chief, was sitting quietly in a chair in the darkness at the moment, only a faltering black shadow and a two-point red light in the light of the auracrystal. On the other side, the tall Death Knight stood quietly. In the crevices of its helmet, the soul light was flickering and dimming, which meant that the Death Knight in front of him was thinking.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ It seems that we underestimated the strength of our enemies. β
After a moment, Collund had to grit his teeth and say this sentence unwillingly. In fact, he also admitted that he was indeed a little carried away this time. Although Simon that idiot had failed once before. However, Collund did not take his defeat to heart, because in Coolund's opinion, Simon was indeed a fool. And as Rhodes had considered before, the configuration of the undead legion was not complete at that time, and the other party obviously seemed to be prepared, so it was not so strange that the defeat was not so strange. But now, he has a fully configured undead army under his command, plus hundreds of bone trolls, and even a powerful night wurm to help, all of which can't help but make Collund a little fluttery, although the night wurm did not follow orders, but ran out of his own curiosity, and he was only a young dragon, but as a powerful lich in the Night Realm, Collund certainly understood how powerful the addition of a night wurm was to him. Moreover, it had sent scouts into the other party's territory before, and although they were all wiped out, those timid and cowardly humans had never shown anything else, so Collund didn't even think that they had the courage to send scouts into their own camp.
But the reality is cruel, and Collund only feels that this slap has flashed in his eyes, and until now he has not been able to breathe.
Collund didn't think he was careless, and he did have the qualifications to think so. After that, a furious Colund mobilized almost all of his men to check all the magic eyes and magic barriers, as well as all the sentry posts around him, but the results that came back made Collund feel horrified. As all reports were normal, no sentry had been eliminated, killed, and no magic barriers had been detected or shielded. In fact, the barrier arranged around the summoning stone shows no signs of being destroyed. And, of course, there was no sign of any life around.
When Collund heard the news, he felt a thousand times more surprised than when he heard that someone had invaded. As a legendary-level powerhouse, a lich, if it weren't for his own experience, Collund must have thought that he was listening to the lies of a madman. But when he checked it himself. The lich had to admit that all this was true. If it weren't for the fact that the traces of the fire elemental ravaging the camp had not completely disappeared before, and if it weren't for the loss of the illusion key on the summoning stone pedestal, even he himself would not have thought that anyone had entered the camp.
And not only did he steal the Illusion Key, but he also killed five necromancers, who were Collund's henchmen. Although they are not as good as Sarah's corpse slaves, they are also the subordinates that Colund trusts very much. However, the other party passed through the magic barrier in this way, quietly entered the camp, and then stole the illusion key, and even deliberately activated the portal to embarrass himself before that............ And more importantly, he killed five necromancers!
After that, Collund examined the corpses of the necromancers, and each one was killed with one hit. Their soul cores were completely destroyed, and their guardian spells showed no signs of being activated, and though he hadn't seen them with his own eyes, Colund was certain that they were killed around the same time. He knew his subordinates very well, and those five necromancers were his henchmen, so they were naturally not too bad. If they detect an attack, they will report it to themselves as soon as possible, but. Judging by their movements, they are not aware of it at all.
It's weird.
Although the will of the undead is as hard as steel. Facing the situation in front of him, Collund also felt an unprecedented weirdness, the other party came and left as he wanted in his camp, and killed whoever he wanted, but so many detection spells and magic eyes didn't even catch the shadow of the other party. Thinking of this, Colund glanced at the vampire clan leader hidden in the darkness, even the most skilled vampire in the Night Realm could not do this. Not to mention that there is also a Night Wurm on top, maybe the Four Demons will be able to achieve this level, but Collund also knows very well that they can't be bored to come here and play such a joke with themselves.
The Three Archangels? This speculation is even more ridiculous, with the pure positive energy of angels, if they can lurk here without being discovered by the undead, it will really be a hell of a life.
Collund tapped impatiently on the table. He looked at the two people next to him, but he knew that these two guys would not help him much, and he knew as well as the others about the brutal and fierce struggle within the Night Realm, that he had let the human scouts slip into the camp, and that they had killed five necromancers and then stole the Illusion Key, which was too much of a shame. If they report it, he may not be able to keep his position as a commander.
Although Collund has been on guard since then, the lich knows that this is completely for the others to see, and if the other party can quietly slip through every defensive net he has carefully prepared, then adding a hundred layers will not have any effect now. Fortunately, now the army in his hands has been fully gathered, and the portal is ready, although there is no illusion key, but as a lich specializing in creation, it can still be made as a similar replacement, of course, it is not as easy to use as the real illusion key.
"Fortunately, our army has been assembled, and while it is likely that they now have a certain level of awareness of our strength, those lowly, cowardly humans will not be able to pose any threat to us in a short period of time."
Collund is not bluffing, but fact, if two sides of similar races are at war, maybe this information is still meaningful, but humans are too fragile, too different from the undead, even if they have information, what can they do? At most, it is just a little more clear and clear understanding of my current desperate situation. Whenever he remembered the scene when the other party quietly and leisurely killed his necromancer and then stole his illusion key, Colund instinctively felt that maybe the truth was not as good as he said.
"Everything is going according to the plan, and in three days, we will launch an attack on the Land of Atonement, all for the glory of His Majesty the Dark Dragon!"
Just as Collund was determined to issue the order, in the fortress not far away, Rhodes happened to finish telling what he had seen in the undead camp. And when they heard his description, everyone was solemn, with a total of 150,000 undead troops, and the total number of people on their side was only 10,000. The ratio of the two sides is fifteen to one, if it weren't for the legendary peak spellcasters such as the Battle Angel Legion, the Demon Guide Fleet, and Little Bubblegum and Canary on their side, then this battle would not have to be fought at all, and it would be the right way to think about how to evacuate as soon as possible.
Even Frederick, who had always been hippie and smiling, restrained his smile at this time, even if it was this cynical young knight. At this moment, I also know the serious consequences of this incident.
"But we don't really need to worry about that."
Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Rod clapped his palms and looked at everyone.
"Like I said, don't look at the other side's 150,000 troops, but most of them are low-level troops, like bone warriors, bone guards and death knights, we have killed a lot of them before, and we are not afraid of them coming again this time. And we also have secret weapons, and it shouldn't be a problem to deal with these undead. And with the help of the War Angel Legion. We will not fail, and there is absolutely no way that this fortress will fall, and I am here to assure you of that. Of course, what I'm saying at the moment is absolutely confidential, and only those of you here know it, and I think you should understand what I mean. β
"Please rest assured, honorable lord. For the sake of victory, I will fight for this old life. The undead will never be allowed to step into this fortress for half a step. β
Sir Byr stood up and bowed slightly to Rod. At this moment, his face was gloomy. There is even some anxiety. Obviously, as a veteran of many battles, Sir Byr certainly knew what an army of 150,000 was, and when he thought about the situation they had in the previous battle against the undead, the old man obviously did not expect much from the outcome of this battle, and he only said that Rod's "impassioned" rhetoric was a means of boosting morale. And Rod could only smile bitterly, he was telling the truth, but no one believed it. Serena and Frederick are a little better, after all, they are still young, and the so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He hadn't seen so many enemies, so even if he realized that the situation was not good, he would not be as desperate as Old Beyer.
However, the old knight's actions still made Rod quite relieved, because he still stated that he would not retreat in this situation, although they did come here as reinforcements, but Rod knew very well that in the face of such a number of enemies, if they really chose to flee and leave, it was human nature. There's nothing more admirable than knowing the threat ahead of you and still fighting to the last moment.
However, before admiring it, he still has to make people look at the old general, lest he really think that he can't hold it and go out to die, and then it will really become a black comedy.
"Luckily, there will be no more reinforcements on the other side, and when I was scouting, I found that the banner of the undead army had been raised, so I thought that their army was ready to go. If I'm not mistaken, in three days they will attack us. β
"What are you doing in three days, my lord?"
Hearing Rod's words, Serena couldn't help but blink her eyes curiously and asked, while in the face of Serena's inquiry, Rod shrugged his shoulders.
"The kingdom of the night worships the number three, and it is rumored that the original Dark Continent was shaped by the original dark dragon with his own body after three days and nights, after which the eternal night descended, and the dark order ruled everything. Therefore, most of the Dragon Kingdom of the Night is very entangled with the numbers three and nine, for example, the Dragon Soul Death in the capital of the Night Country is divided into three areas, while the Castle of the Eternal Night has nine layers inside and outside, and it is also one of the rules to attack three days after the formation flag moves, because those undead creatures think that in this way they can obtain the protection of the dark dragon soul and thus be invincible. β
Saying this, Rod clapped his palms.
"So, we only have three days to prepare, you can prepare from now on, after three days, we will have a fierce battle, remember what I said, those huge number of bone warriors, death knights and bone guards do not need our attention, but the army of bone trolls and vampires is a big problem. Well, go ahead and get ready now! β
Hearing Rod's words, everyone no longer hesitated, they quickly stood up and left the conference room with a solemn expression, for three days, they didn't know what they could do in these three days, but now, they could only work hard to be able to do their best.
Soon, the huge conference room began to become empty, but there were still a few people left, except for Seven Love, Canary, Little Bubblegum and Bilan's Heart, as the leader of the War Angel Legion, Benny was also left behind. Just now, Rod quietly gave them a color, although they didn't know what Rod wanted to say, but they still kept silent until the end.
It wasn't until everyone else had finished walking up to the door that Rhodes stepped forward and closed the door, and after ordering Agameve to keep an eye on the outside and not let anyone in, Rhodes turned around and changed slightly.
"It's not good, guys."
"We've heard that before, Captain."
Little Bubblegum picked up a cup of black tea and replied nonchalantly.
"What's so great about that little undead, isn't there still an Angel of War legion?"
Listening to the little bubble gum's inquiry, Rod looked at the girl who was leisurely drinking tea, and spread his hands helplessly.
"There was another thing I didn't say just now, so that others would not understand it when they heard it, and it would increase panic. Second, it's really a nuisance. β
"What's the trouble, Commander, seeing that you are so nervous, could it be that the Dark Dragon is here?"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ In the previous investigation, in addition to the aforementioned necromantic army, I saw another troublesome thing..............."
Speaking of this, Rod paused before speaking.
"A night wurm."
"Poof!!"
"Bang Dang!!"
Hearing Rod's words, the black tea in the little bubble gum mouth didn't drink it, and it squirted out in one gulp. And Bennie, who was originally sitting quietly in the chair, also stood up in surprise at this moment, and even knocked over the chair next to her, but at this moment, the Captain of the War Angel Legion did not react at all, instead, she pressed the table with both hands, stared at Rhodes with wide eyes.
"My lord, are you sure it's the Night Wurm!?"
"I couldn't be more convinced that it was indeed a Night Wurm, and although it didn't look like an adult species, it was a Night Wurm."
Rod took a deep breath and looked ahead, at this moment, not only the little bubblegum, but also the canary, the seven loves, and the hearts of Bilan's face changed.
"So I said, we're in big trouble." (To be continued......)
