16. Rescue Missions

As a child of the plane, Sean is more or less able to have some special perception abilities.

This perception ability is very subtle, and even Sean himself can't tell what is going on, but once it appears, Sean's mind can instantly wake up to the impact and judgment brought by this perception.

Just like now.

The surrounding situation still seems to be a barren dead land, whether it is the land, the wild grass and trees, all of which have lost their vitality due to the erosion of dead air, and there are even signs of undeadness, just like the trees that Sean saw in the Forest of Sighs. No matter how you look at it, the situation in front of you is no different from the first province that Sean crossed before.

However, Sean can feel the vitality and vitality that still exists in this area.

At least it proves that the area has not completely fallen, and that there are still people fighting, struggling, and trying.

Knowing this, Sean did not continue to delay, but immediately hit the road.

He followed his instincts and hurried in one direction.

A day later, Sean saw a city that had been completely destroyed.

The scale of this city was not comparable to the giant cities that Sean had seen in the province before, let alone the Savage Fortress. However, according to Sean's rough judgment, the city can probably maintain a population of about 50,000.

But now, the city has been completely destroyed: neither the city walls nor the other buildings in the city have been preserved. This shows how fierce the battle took place in this city in the face of the attack of the undead army. Probably because I heard the description of the people who escaped from the first province earlier. Therefore, the residents and defenders of the city also knew about the ferocity of the army of the undead, so they held on to the belief that they would die.

Sean didn't feel the darkness in the city. So after a little hesitation, he chose to enter the city to look for some clues.

Soon. Sean noticed something out of the ordinary.

All the towns encountered in front of us were basically forcibly breached by the undead army with an unstoppable force, and there were few survivors. Even if some survivors are lucky enough to escape, they will not be able to survive in the face of such a large and tireless army of undead, and I am afraid that only the strong above the Golden Realm will be able to barely find a chance to escape without falling into encirclement.

But this time is different.

Sean was in this city, which could almost be said to be in ruins, and he felt "active" like never before.

It was a joy that bordered on victory.

"The battle was won, but the whole city was destroyed?" Sean muttered to himself rather strangely.

Soon, though. Sean thought that this joyful cheer of triumph did not have to happen at the moment when the city was destroyed, but before that.

For example, when the undead army launched its first attack, it was crushed.

Only in this way can this kind of joy of victory burst out that is enough to make the earth deeply feel and remember. Of course, the subsequent battles are still pouring towards the deteriorating side of the situation, after all, the army of the undead is endless, and the second wave of offensives will definitely be more fierce, and it is even likely that there will be a third and fourth wave of offensives. This is the only way to flatten the entire city.

Sean slowly got up, and then found more traces and clues.

After capturing the city, the army of the undead did not continue to advance with an unrivaled momentum as before, but divided into three different tributaries and moved in three directions: north, west, and northwest.

Thus. At that time, there should have been quite a few survivors who left the city alive after the city was broken, and fled in three directions.

Although this does have the effect of weakening the army of the undead to some extent. But the same divested side of the human forces has also been weakened, which means that the situation has not changed or improved significantly.

Unless......

Sean's slightly frowning brow finally relaxed: these guys still have a back hand to prepare!

Compared to the army of the undead. Humans are very flexible as part of the intelligent race, and can even use some highly targeted tactics to fight. The army of the undead is not commanded by undead creatures with high-level intelligence. Otherwise, it is basically acting according to instinct, and the practice of diverting the pursuit of humans like the current one proves that the other party has at least a few mid-level undead commanders.

That is, a sixth-order undead creature similar to the Bone Demon.

After figuring this out, Sean chose a direction and quickly chased after him.

It has been less than a month since this undead plague broke out, and this is still counting Sean's ten days of travel. Judging from the traces left at the scene, the undead army should have breached this fortress five to seven days ago, although judging from the strength of the undead army, if there is no preparation or corresponding defense means, this time is enough to turn those human survivors into the same kind.

However, looking at those human survivors who dare to flee in a divert, they must have some special means and back-hands, which makes Sean a little more confident in the survival of these people.

Following the clues and quickly chasing them, Sean barely stopped or rested.

His speed is not comparable to ordinary people, maybe others have been on the run for four or five days, but for Sean, it is only a day's journey or so. So when Sean saw a city in the distance still flickering with firelight, he knew that the human survivors who fled in this direction were probably really surviving.

It's just that looking at the situation of the city in front of us, it is obvious that the situation is not easy at this time, and it is only a matter of time before it is breached.

At this time, Sean did not immediately come to the rescue, but sat in place to rest and eat.

The rush for several days in a row is not too light for Sean, although the decline in combat effectiveness is not large, but in this kind of rescue battle that is close to a war situation, if you can't keep it at the peak, then it is easy to fall from exhaustion because of being encircled.

This. Not what Sean wanted.

And Sean saw that the city would not completely fall for a while. Therefore, he naturally does not shoot blindly. Of course, the increase in casualties is certain. However, Sean didn't have the idea of risking his own life to save these people, so of course he had to be fully prepared before making a move.

However, just as Sean was quickly recovering his strength, an electronic sound suddenly sounded in his mind.

"A special task node has been detected."

"Determining ......"

"The mission has been activated."

"Special Mission: Savior."

"Mission Requirements: Rescue Humans in Distress."

"Mission Statement: The city of Hagens is currently isolated, and although they have repelled three waves of attacks from the undead army, they have also paid a terrible price. In their current situation, they may only be able to hold out for one more day, so they desperately hope that a savior will save them from the present danger. ”

"Mission Reward: Unknown."

"Failure Punishment: Forcibly erase an item from your body and be in a state of doom for seventy-two hours."

"Special Mission Restrictions: If you do not enter combat mode within one hour and are spotted by the defenders of Hagens City, you will be considered a failed mission."

Hear a chime from the system. Sean scolded directly.

It's not that he hasn't encountered a situation where this system cheats people before, but something like this is really the first time Sean has encountered it.

At this moment, he really regretted coming here.

Originally, Sean's idea was simple, nothing more than to find some living people and then get clues about Hashas. After all, whether Hashas is dead or alive, he always needs to get a definite answer so that Sean can better plan for the next step. And in addition, the main purpose of Sean's operation this time was not on Hashas. Instead, it's in a single-player adventure dungeon.

Back then, Sean heard about the legend of this dungeon in the forum in the game, but because the dungeon is quite difficult, and the pre-tasks are relatively cumbersome, it also has a unique nature. Therefore, it was evaluated as extremely difficult to attack at the time. Naturally, they will not be stingy in terms of rewards, at least some people are very satisfied with the rewards they have received after a lot of effort - although the other party did not disclose what rewards they received, but judging by the observations and speculations of others later. It is guessed that the other party has started with an extremely powerful entourage.

The so-called retinue, that is, the guard.

And Sean is currently lacking the most. Nature is also a guard.

No matter what type of guard it is, as long as it is strong enough to reach above the Sanctuary. For the current Sean, it is a boost.

But I didn't expect that because of the idea for a while, this would be involved in an extremely complex task.

Exhaling softly, Sean took out the Black King quite helplessly, now that things have become like this, he naturally has nothing to retreat from.

The next moment, Sean stepped forward and charged.

At first, it was just a step-by-step sprint, and then it quickly became that each step could advance more than ten meters, and with the earth-shattering momentum began to burst out from its body, Sean's charge soon rushed towards it like a cannonball fired, with an astonishing speed that cut through the air. And the surrounding space, with Sean's sprint, even faintly began to shake a little.

Soon, the guards on the walls spotted Sean.

There was no way, the powerful momentum that erupted under the full force of the powerhouse of the Sacred Domain could not be concealed at all. In particular, the two laws that Sean came into contact with after stepping into the Sanctuary were the two superior laws of space and time, and the momentum of their resonance was even more terrifying.

When Sean rushed into the camp of these undead armies, within a radius of three meters with Sean as the core, all the undead creatures instantly seemed to have encountered some extremely sharp and terrifying attack, and they all cut into countless pieces. Even the soul fire in their bodies had been completely extinguished by this abnormal distorting force, and they could not be reconstituted at all.

Cutting force field.

This is a kind of semi-finished realm that Sean explored through the power of the laws of space when he was attacking the realm of the upper sanctuary.

This field has not yet been recognized by the system, so the specific efficacy ability or something, Sean is not very clear, unlike his virtual realm, all the functional effects are already very obvious. Therefore, this semi-finished realm similar to the power of space laws, Sean can only use it in a place like the moment, and even if it is in a melee situation where there are more people in his own people, Sean will not dare to use it.

For no other reason, the current cutting force field field is not like [Void], which can distinguish friend from foe according to Sean's will, it is purely a domain that distinguishes between friend and foe, and it is somewhat like the force field that Gollum has himself.

However, in the current battle to break through the blockade, it seems to complement each other.

It seems that the enemy did not expect such a strong reinforcement from the enemy, and the offensive of the undead army was quickly stalled.

And at this time, the drawbacks of the lack of command of high-level intelligent undead creatures completely broke out.

Those commander-type undead creatures who were only fifth and sixth orders obviously didn't know how to deal with the current situation, so the command orders from different subordinates lost their unified movement, and a chaos soon spread among this undead army: the undead who had already climbed the city wall in front and were trying to siege the city received the order to besiege Sean, so they began to turn around, ignoring the broken section of the city wall that was obviously about to be taken.

However, the undead creatures in the middle did not receive the order to besiege Sean, they were still faithfully carrying out the order to storm the city wall, and even the fire of thirst for flesh and blood burned in their empty eyes. In this way, it naturally blocked the undead creatures in front of them who were turning around, and the two sides instantly became parts that interfered with each other - although the undead army had no formation to speak of, but the chaos and conflicts generated within it like this still made the formation of this undead army disperse more widely.

And that's not all.

Some of the skeleton archers, after receiving the order, immediately began to target their main attack on Sean, and then shot the arrows in their hands one after another.

But Sean's speed was too fast, and these arrows naturally fell behind Sean without exception.

Although Sean can strangle the area of influence is six meters in diameter, there are still a large number of other undead creatures around, such as zombies, walking corpses, zombies and other corpse-like undead creatures. They are no more than skeletons, and even if they are hit by an arrow, they don't feel anything, and they will bounce off. These corpse-like undead creatures were quickly wiped out by the attacks of their own people from the undead army, which invisibly reduced the pressure on the defenders in the city.

After discovering this, Sean naturally made it even more impossible to run directly to the city wall.

He was very aware of his own situation, this cutting force field was not a realm, and the current spiritual consumption for him was really not small, even if he was impacting the upper Sacred Realm realm, he would not be able to maintain it for long. So soon Sean had an idea in his heart: he wanted to take advantage of the fact that this force field was still in the situation to create more chaos, and pick those undead commanders to attack, as long as the number of these undead commanders was eliminated even if only one-third, it would be enough to cause even more chaos in this undead army.

At that point, it will be easier to destroy these undead creatures.

It's as easy as doing the follow-up cleaning at the Savage Fortress. (To be continued.) )
