18. Variations
How can an undead legion with a scale of 50,000 have hundreds of undead creatures with a certain amount of intelligence as command nodes.
This is the same as the fact that there will inevitably be middle-level commanders and captains and sub-commanders of various detachments in a corps to assist the corps commanders in commanding and attacking tough battles.
This is known as the chain of command.
Like the current Void Duchy, William is the supreme existence of this system, and he personally formulates tactics and descends to the commanders of various legions, such as Alfred, Klov, etc. And they have to complete their tasks according to the tactics formulated by William, of course, in this process, whether to attack or detour, or surprise attack, etc., is arranged by themselves according to the situation and situation of the battlefield.
However, even if it is them, it is impossible to complete the deployment and deployment of the entire corps in an instant, so what they need to do is to send their own orders to the commanders of each detachment and regiment, and they will be responsible for the final coordination and unified operation.
The hundreds of undead commanders who were eliminated by Sean before played such a role.
And these undead commanders with such an important role naturally cannot be sacrificed as cannon fodder, almost every such undead creature will inevitably have some connection with the superior undead creature in their own soul fire. Therefore, when all the hundreds of undead commanders who were in charge of sitting and commanding were eliminated, the high-level undead creatures who were responsible for controlling these undead commanders naturally sensed it.
At this time, in an undead legion located in the northwest, several undead creatures suddenly glanced at each other.
The composition of these undead creatures is extremely mixed. There are both sixth-order black knights and sixth-order bone demons. There are even seventh-order necromantic generals.
It seemed that he noticed something unusual about the undead subordinates under his command who had formed wisdom, one of them was dressed in a black robe. But it was the undead who were full of death, so they turned their heads to look at these subordinates.
Generally speaking, undead creatures above the seventh order belong to high-level undead creatures, but usually only eighth-order undead creatures will give birth to corresponding spiritual beings, which can be regarded as intelligent creatures.
But it's not absolute.
The production process of the undead is usually born by mixing corpse materials with souls, so occasionally there will be some corpse materials that are relatively strong but the souls are relatively weak, eventually resulting in high-level undead creatures with strong strength but little intelligence; However, if it is an undead with a stronger soul, it is also possible to give birth to wisdom at a relatively low level, so as to get rid of the image of an undead monster and officially become a member of the undead clan.
For example, at the moment, this can only be regarded as a mid-level black knight and bone demon, because their soul power is too strong. Therefore, they will form their own wisdom at this stage, so as to become a real undead, not an undead monster that can be sacrificed and consumed. And because of the wisdom born in advance, it is also destined that their future growth will never be limited to the sixth order, at least this black knight's future growth path will definitely be able to become a tenth order immortal knight.
And in the undead family, this kind of intelligent undead who can give birth to spiritual intelligence is not common, so it is generally more important.
This point, from this person who is dressed in a black robe, but his whole body has a strong dead aura. And from time to time, there are some black mist filled with the attitude of the undead who show it, you can get a glimpse of it.
Yes, it's a fog spirit.
And it is also a rather powerful fog spirit, only judging from the momentum it shows. I'm afraid that he also has the powerful combat power of the Median Sacred Domain. If you take into account some of the characteristics of him as the commander of an army and an undead creature, I am afraid that he will be able to exert a terrifying combat power close to that of the upper holy realm.
"What's wrong with that team on the west side?" The fog spirit asked. The voice was hoarse and low, a bit like a broken gong. It's also a bit like the slightest sound of a snake spitting out a letter.
The strength of the undead legion is of course due to the fact that the command ability is only in the whim of the superior undead. But this kind of control between thoughts also requires extremely large spiritual power and soul power. Even if it is the Thirteen Kings and the Seven Great Witches of the Bone Plane, it is impossible to divide the spiritual imprint to contact these undead creatures indefinitely, so it is inevitable that those low-level undead who can play the role of commanders are inevitably needed as a transmission node.
This misty spirit is the commander-in-chief of the undead legion in charge of the invasion of these two southern provinces, but his strength is not even comparable to the Silent Death Rider, and even the undead at the level of the Seven Great Witches need to use the transmission node, let alone him? Therefore, the only thing he needed was to form a connection between his spiritual imprint and these high-level undead creatures under his command, and as for the lower-level undead creatures and commanders, they were responsible for these high-level undead creatures.
At this time, these undead who had abnormal mood swings were the undead army that was responsible for the diversion and pursued to the west.
Originally, these undead also needed to go to the west together, but the group of human survivors he was chasing was too strong, so he also brought them with him, so he could control more undead. It's just that in order to prevent problems with the undead army that is chasing and fleeing to the west, the spiritual imprints of hundreds of undead commanders are evenly distributed on these undead, so that the pressure on them will not be too great.
And now seeing their strange mood fluctuations, the fog spirit immediately realized that something was wrong.
After several undead spirits looked at each other, the black knight in black armor spoke, "All the nodes in the west, it seems...... All gone. ”
"Annihilation?" The mist on the fog spirit's body suddenly gushed out, and the already rotten ground seemed to be corroded more intensely, almost turning into a puddle of mud, "The size of the army in the west is close to fifty thousand?" ”
"In the past few days, the pursuit and filling have exceeded 50,000, and if there is no opponent in the west of the province after capturing that small city, the final scale will be able to expand to 100,000." It was a skeleton skeleton that spoke, but this skeleton was much larger than the average skeleton, and there was a faint magical aura fluctuating on its body. "But...... When the spiritual imprint was removed, the actual scale of control was about 50,000. ”
"There are Sacred Domain powerhouses who have intervened in the war situation in the West." The fog spirit's voice grew cold.
Since the defeat of the war that day. Naturally, this fog spirit also paid a heavy price before finally taking the first city in this province. Forcing the survivors of these humans to flee in three groups. And as a commander with true intelligence, how could he not see the tactics of those humans, but at that time, his idea was to plan the plan, anyway, if it was to delay time, it would definitely be their undead who would have the advantage in the end.
After all, the biggest advantage of the undead is that as the war becomes more intense and brutal, the size of their legions will become larger and larger.
Especially in a battlefield where there is a lack of strong people with sufficient strength, the expansion rate of an undead army can definitely be said to be amazing. If it weren't for the fact that he was the only undead with the strength of the Holy Realm who was left here, this fog spirit would naturally not need to be trapped here like he is now. In a confrontation with the current human beings in this province, he had already swept through the entire province with an unparalleled huge advantage, and then rushed to the fortress of Mei'an for reinforcements.
In addition to taking advantage of the infighting among human forces, the undead legion was not without a price. However, this fortress happens to be an extremely important strategic location, so even if it costs a lot of money, and even the entire human race in the Second Province knows about the Deathtide Crisis, it is also a great benefit for the undead side.
It's just that, after taking the fortress. The next action is naturally very important.
After all, this time, they were not a small fight, but they really turned from the corpse plane and invaded, wanting to completely assimilate and devour this plane. Therefore, of course, it is necessary to seriously and carefully consider the strategic layout. Because of this, the task of this fog spirit is to assimilate all the living people in the two provinces of the Golden Left Dao into undead, and then rush to the Mei'an Fortress for reinforcements.
Both Lake and Lucas Jr. are well aware. This powerful empire will never let the Mean Fortress fall into the hands of their undead, so a dragon battle will soon break out with the Mei'an Fortress as a snatching point.
According to the previous tasks given to the undead legions that are now invading the Millennium Covenant Empire. The Mist Spirit was tasked with being the first reinforcement to go to the Me'an Fortress as soon as the two provinces were resolved. After that, in the invasion of the eleven provinces on the other side of the Nugget Road. When Lake and Little Lucas open the situation, the second undead legion reinforcements that have solved the Golden Right Road will immediately arrive, and then after the Nuggets Road situation is opened by one, Little Lucas will personally lead the third undead legion to arrive.
And all this strategic plan will be completed in three to five months.
Now that a month has passed, the Mei'an Fortress plan has not even achieved a third of the progress, which makes this fog spirit naturally feel anxious.
It's just that he also knows that the resistance in this province still exists, and the strength is quite strong, there are at least four Sacred Domain powerhouses, although one of them was seriously injured after being attacked by him yesterday, and there are only three who really have the strength to fight, but he didn't rush to the death. His original intention was to wait for the two undead forces that went to the west and north to kill after they had eliminated the enemies on both sides, and after the scale had expanded to 200,000, he would join up with his own army in the middle lane, and then pounce on this last stronghold of the human race with an extremely strong attitude.
Relying on the undead creatures' never-tireless and fearful crowd tactics to force those three Sanctuary powerhouses to break through, this would at least be enough to make them pay a heavy price. And if the other party does not break through, but chooses to fight hard, then this is more in line with him, at least under the tide of more than 400,000 undead, he doesn't think that these three already scarred Sacred Domain powerhouses can still survive.
Even if all these 400,000 undead armies are sacrificed, being able to harvest the corpses of four Sacred Domain powerhouses as materials, their value is definitely greater than these 400,000 undead cannon fodder.
But now, the undead army in the west has been completely annihilated - this fog spirit does not think that the undead army can still survive, once all the command nodes are eliminated, it is completely conceivable what will happen to the undead army that is just cannon fodder level - this is tantamount to completely bankrupting the plan that this fog spirit had thought of before.
"My lord, then we ...... next"
"Let the northern forces withdraw, there is no need to continue to disperse." The misty spirit said in a deep voice, "Humans are really cunning, and I have already fallen into a plan without noticing it for a while. It seems that the only way to deal with these enemies in front of us is to deal with them as soon as possible...... No matter the cost. ”
The eyes of several undead commanders suddenly lit up with bloody intent full of evil energy.
And that night, this undead army, which had been besieging a fortress in the northwest of the province for many days, immediately launched a wave of extremely ferocious charges, and this place suddenly became extremely tragic. However, because there are still three Sacred Domain powerhouses in charge, even if the human side suffers heavy casualties, the undead army also pays a lot of price, but the final result is that the human side suffers a greater loss.
Because even if the corpses of all the dead humans are incinerated so that the undead army cannot obtain the corpse materials, they can still obtain the souls of these war dead.
……
At this time, Sean didn't know what kind of changes his previous mission to Liangshan would bring about because of this.
All he knew was that after communicating with the middle-aged man, the system prompted him to complete the task.
However, before he could get the reward, the system task gave a new hint.
"The first phase of the task has been completed, and the task rewards have been accumulated."
"The second phase of the mission has begun."
"Special mission data points are being detected."
"Mission disordered, corrected."
"The second stage of the task has been determined, and the task rewards have been accumulated."
"The third phase of the mission has begun."
A cold system sound kept ringing in Sean's mind.
Before Sean could figure out what "the task reward has been accumulated" and "the second phase of the task has been started", he heard the phrase "mission disorder", and when he was still thinking about what this meant, the system actually told him that "the second stage of the task has been completed", which made him even more inexplicable.
But soon, the third phase of the task given by the system immediately made Sean have a guess.
"Mission Requirements: Rush to the Green Keep to assist humanity in resisting the invasion of the Second Legion of the Undead."
"Mission Description: The soldiers of the Second Legion of the Undead tried to completely destroy the living forces of the province in three ways, but because of your sideways, the plan of the Second Legion of the Undead to invade the west has failed, and at this time, the other party has recalled the sub-legions that are invading the north, and is preparing to concentrate on completely destroying all the living forces in the Green Castle. At this time, the Green Castle has fallen into the greatest danger of destruction, please rush to the rescue immediately. ”
"Mission Reward: Choose one of three random data enhancement rewards."
"Failure Penalty: Unknown."
After listening to the mission description, Sean finally knew why his second phase of the mission was declared complete, it turned out that the commander of the Second Legion of the Undead had withdrawn the sub-regiment in the north, and was ready to concentrate all the forces of the Undead Legion to deal with the powerhouses of the Sanctuary on the side of the Green Castle. Because as long as all the powerhouses in this green castle are eliminated, then there is probably no one in the entire province who can resist this second army of the undead.
This is naturally bad news for Sean.
What's more, there may still be Hashas in that so-called green castle.
So Sean, who was already preparing to go to the Green Castle, heard the request of this mission, and he immediately set off to the northwest. At this moment, he only hoped that he would still be able to rush to the Green Castle, but not wait for him to feel and see that the Green Castle had been breached. Although this mission does not explain what the punishment for mission failure is, looking at the first stage of the mission failure punishment, Sean wants to know that it is not a loss that he can bear or is willing to bear.
Of course, Sean is also quite interested in this "data enhancement reward", because this is the first reward Sean has seen in this world for so long. (To be continued.) )
