200. The emancipation of the old lich is proclaimed
Sean had no intention of answering the old lich's words.
He knew that creatures like lichs were rarely visible to the eyes of the world, after all, their existence belonged to the "sinful" side. Historically, there have been many killings caused by lichs and necromancers, and even the undead legions have rioted many times, so in the eyes of many churches, lichs and necromancers are second only to these two abominations, even if they are not as dangerous as the appearance of demons and demons.
Most lichs choose to find a place to hide.
Of course, the safest place is naturally the bone plane.
It's not easy to just set up a portal to the bone plane. The old lich was able to teleport all of his minions to it, because it was actually a reverse use of summoning magic, after all, these undead creatures had a spiritual connection to it, and this connection was the same as the summoned creatures summoned by summoning magic, so teleporting them to the bone plane was a lightening act for the old lich.
At least, in Sean's true eyes, the old lich had noticeably become more powerful after teleporting so many undead creatures to the bone plane.
However, this power does not mean that it can teleport itself to the bone plane.
So if the old lich wants to go to the bone plane, then it has only two ways: the first is to build a portal to the bone plane by itself; The second is to directly tear apart the spatial barrier of the bone plane. Either way, however, there is a premise required. That is to have the spatial coordinates of the bone plane - being able to teleport undead creatures to the bone plane does not mean that the old lich has the spatial coordinates of the bone plane.
Moreover, not many people are willing to try the second method if they have no choice but to do so.
Because tearing open the plane barrier is tantamount to finding a plane passage - if you have spatial coordinates, of course. Then you have to build a dimensional passage by yourself, but there is no difference between the two. After all, this method is not like the fixed-point teleportation of the portal, there is a magic power generated by the magic array that can protect the teleporter, so those who want to create their own teleportation channel can only use their own strength to deal with the attack from the Void Storm.
Many plane travelers who went to explore the new plane died in the void because they could not withstand the endless Void storm attacks.
You must know that a strong person like Andrew is not willing to tear apart the plane barrier to travel to the plane. This is not without reason.
Because of this, as long as this old lich does not return to the bone plane for a day, then it is impossible to avoid conflicts between it and the major empires and kingdoms on the Miracle Continent. Leaving aside the fact that it may be due to some whims of the old lich. It's just that once the gods with an extremely sense of justice, such as the God of Dawn and the God of Justice, discover the existence of the old lich, then it will definitely be an endless situation.
Sean clearly remembers that in the game, when the big boss behind the scenes of the Book Guild appeared. Almost in an instant, all the gods who can have anything to do with justice belong to the church. Immediately became a mortal enemy with this organization. It's just that thanks to the fact that the lich of the Scroll Society didn't like to fight very much, the war that affected most of the Western Continent at that time was charged on a small scale, and it was later because of the forcible intervention and mediation of the Floating Library and the Peace Society that the war was brought to an end.
However, the relationship between the churches and the book society could not be re-friendly or even neutral.
Right now, Sean glanced at this old lich who was probably in the same era as the big boss behind the scenes of the Book Association, and he didn't think that this old lich would only be beaten and not fight back like the old lich of the Book Association. I'm afraid that as long as anyone dares to provoke him. He will use crowd tactics to teach the other party to be a man.
At this moment, Sean really regretted releasing the old lich.
It's just that. Stopped by this lich, he really didn't have any choice. What's more, in the previous negotiations and the signing of the mage's blood contract, Sean made a lot of profits, just the large number of treasures sent by this old lich was enough for Sean to completely recover the vitality of the Void Principality in a short period of time due to the war, and there would be some surplus. Even because of this windfall, Sean would not be distressed even if the negotiations between the wild trip and those big tribes failed, and if he was lucky, it would be an immeasurable fortune.
So no matter what, Sean has no intention of turning his face with this lich.
At least, until the old lich threatens and thwarts his plans.
As for Sean's silence, the old lich did not continue to say anything, and it was still commanding its army of undead to appear one after another.
After the three necromantic generals appeared one after the other and were teleported away, they were followed by a cavalry unit.
Skeleton Cavalry.
If the Legion of the Undead also has a distinction between light cavalry and heavy cavalry, then the skeleton cavalry belongs to the ranks of light cavalry. They are the advancement of skeleton cavalry, and the rank is only the fifth order, with the same rank as the black knight, but in terms of strength, it is much inferior to the black knight, at least in the case of one-on-one combat, it is not a problem for a black warrior to fight two or three skeleton cavalry alone.
After all, it's just cavalry.
However, when it comes to group battles, as long as the number of skeleton cavalry is twice that of the Black Knights, then the basic result of the battle is that the Black Warriors are completely annihilated. However, the real strategic significance of the Skeleton Cavalry is not actually in a battle to the death, and even such a thing as cutting the enemy formation will not allow the Skeleton Cavalry to attack. Their real and greatest strategic value lies in their tireless long-distance raids and harassment.
With the Necromantic Legion as the attacking force, supplemented by the rush and harassment of the Skeleton Cavalry, this is the most classic undead legion war combination.
Sean quickly compared the armament power of the Void Principality in his mind, and his face turned slightly pale. There was also a little more sweat on his forehead. If it was just that legion of necromantic warriors, Sean's current Void Duchy would still be able to block it, and at most it would be a heavy loss. But at least all the undead forces that can fight this lich won't be left.
But if you add this skeleton cavalry with a size of about 2,000 horsemen, Sean finds that it is impossible to stop it with the current Void Duchy.
Don't look at the Necromantic Legion and the Skeleton Cavalry combined, it's only 5,000 troops.
However, counting the characteristics of undead creatures, this is actually a quasi-sixth-level legion with a scale of three thousand people and a fifth-level legion with a scale of two thousand.
Unless the three fourth-level legions under Sean's command are all at full strength, and the other armies that William is integrating are not stage frightened, then it may be possible to completely eliminate these two legions in the first war. You know, if the war of the undead waged by the lich can't completely wipe out all the undead forces in a single war. Then the Lich's undead legions will fight more and more.
Watching the two thousand skeleton cavalry be teleported away, Sean glanced at the wall that was still shaking.
Without thinking about it, he also knew what the third army of the undead was.
When a new round of undead creatures came out of the walls again. Sean knew he was not wrong in his guess.
A thousand bone mages.
As a reinforcement of the Skeleton Mage, the Bone Mage is a fifth-order undead creature like the Bone Cavalry and the Black Knight. However, compared to the skeleton mage who only has a third order, the bone mage has as many as ten kinds of undead magic, including corpse bone summoning, dark corrosion, revenant healing, corpse explosion, corpse bone enhancement, corpse bone combination and other powerful magic.
Reputedly. On the battlefield, a bone mage can summon a skeleton or a walking corpse through guò bones, and can manipulate about fifty skeleton soldiers. Of course. If there are enough corpses on the battlefield, then the Bone Mage can also summon second-order zombie and skeleton warriors through the guò corpse bone combination, but the number of control zhì will be sharply reduced from fifty to thirty; And if necessary, it can even become a third-order zombie or bone warrior, but the number of manipulations will be reduced to ten.
As for the more advanced ones, such as the fourth-order skeleton cavalry, ghouls, and bone warriors, more corpses are needed to be able to assemble them, but the number of manipulators will also be reduced to about five Cheng dù.
A battlefield with bone mages. The tactics of the army of the undead have also become more diverse, especially since the true commander of this army of the undead is still a lich. Depending on the occasion. It can completely control these skeleton mages to meet its different battlefield needs: for example, when a large number of cannon fodder is needed, these 1,000 skeleton mages alone can create 50,000 skeleton soldiers, walking corpses, or 30,000 craftsmen and skeleton warriors; And if a certain number of war troops are required, then it can also be converted into 10,000 zombies, bone warriors, etc.; As for the more advanced fourth-order undead creatures, this is another fourth-order army.
Bone Cavalry, Bone Mage, Necromantic Warrior.
As long as this lich is willing, it can start a war of undead invasion on the Miracle Continent. Prepared so many troops, but said that he had no interest in the Miracle Continent, and Sean didn't believe it when he was killed. It's just that at this time, the lich said that he was not interested, and Sean couldn't ask too much, after all, the current relationship between the two sides is only a temporary relationship, and after leaving here, the two sides will have nothing to do with it.
"It's all over, right?" Sean asked.
"Almost." The old lich nodded, then waved his hand, and within the wall came five more undead creatures with a height of two meters and their bodies tightly wrapped in heavy armor, and the momentum exuded from them was not weaker than that of the necromantic general, "It's over now." ”
"Revenant Guard!" Sean said in a lost voice.
"Oh, you're pretty eye-catching." The old lich's tone was a little more approving, "It's a shame that we didn't find a suitable mount, though." …… But don't worry, I've wiped out the will of these revenant guards. ”
The Nightmare Warhorse clearly took a few steps backwards when he saw these Revenant Guards.
Being able to terrify the dark creatures of the seventh order was not a simple matter.
"What are the Revenant Guards?" Rottikabas asked quietly.
"Seventh-order undead creatures, loyal personal guards of the lich, have no self-will, but possess souls and consciousness, and if they are given the right matching mounts, they can instantly transform into Dread Knights." Cecilia explained softly, "...... It's the Dreadknight we've had a lot of effort to deal with. ”
Hearing Cecilia's words, Rotikabas gasped.
"But we're in the material realm now, so these Dread Knights aren't as difficult to deal with as before, but we still have to be careful." Seeing the appearance of Rottikabas and Sheena, Cecilia reminded again, "But this lich is really not simple. …… After manipulating so many undead creatures, it is still able to manipulate five revenant guards, which is probably much stronger than we imagined. ”
"I always feel like we've put something terrible out of the place." Harding sighed, his voice full of helplessness.
"You're not alone." Sean also whispered, "But it's over, it's useless to say anything." …… Now, anyway, it's unlikely it will hurt us. So for now, let's hurry up and finish exploring this dungeon. ”
"If you leave after that......"
"You go first." Sean's attention was still on the old lich.
At this time, the old lich was returning the Revenant Guards to the Bone Plane one by one, but it had made marks on its own body, which allowed it to summon them directly when necessary, without the need to summon a magic circle through Guò. In terms of the concept of magic, this summoning is equivalent to instantaneous magic, and once activated, the Revenant Guards will immediately appear by the old lich's side, of course, at the cost of continuing to provide spiritual power to these Revenant Guards.
But with the strength of the old lich, I'm afraid this is not a problem at all.
Sean and the others didn't pay attention to what the old lich was still grinding behind, but walked towards the main entrance of the main hall first.
The old lich glanced at the back of Sean and the others leaving, and then it suddenly stretched out its index finger, and a faint black flame suddenly rose above it. Almost at the moment when this black flame came out, the temperature around it dropped several degrees in an instant, and even white frost could be seen on the ground that had been quietly covered, and the cold breath was raging around like a violent wind, but the strange thing was that this qiē was silent.
After the black fire burned in the old lich's hand for a short while, the old lich reached out and shot the black fire directly into the sky.
The black flames turned into an extremely thin line of fire and shot directly through the dome of the main hall, and then shot all the way through the stone layer that covered the dungeon, directly breaking through the earth and shooting into the air. In the sky, which was tens of thousands of meters high, the black flames suddenly exploded, but what spread out were invisible vibration ripples, like stones thrown on the surface of a calm lake, rippling round after round.
At this moment, the entire high sky was instantly filled with one supreme coercion after another, and even this space could not withstand so many coercive scans, and there were several more cracks in the sky. And these coercive scans also seemed to find such an inappropriateness, and these fierce coercive feelings soon faded like a tide, and then the cracks in the sky slowly repaired again.
However, although these coercion have faded like a tide, none of the strong people who can project spiritual coercion to scan here are at peace in their hearts.
Because they all know that it is a proclamation of liberation from the captives.
It is not known which of the great men imprisoned the creature, but the only thing that is certain is that the imprisoned man has finally broken free from his shackles and returned to the material realm. People like this are usually followed by a series of retaliations after returning, which means that many undesirable situations are likely to happen.
In particular, in the aura that emanated from the announcement just now, all the strong people could feel the aura unique to the undead. (To be continued......)
