At that moment, almost everyone instinctively raised their heads and looked at the three holy rays of light that went straight into the sky. Even the undead stopped moving at this moment. I saw that the three pillars of light gradually disappeared into the depths of the clouds, and then like a gust of wind whistling by, it blew away the only dark clouds in the sky, and re-revealed a clean night sky in front of everyone. But what was different from the previous night sky was that at this moment, on the pitch-black and deep curtain, there were three unusually large circular circles suspended, which almost covered the sky in front of them, and as far as the eye could see, only boundless golden lines could be seen from one end of the sky to the other end of the horizon. The brilliance of each divine rune was as bright as a full moon above this magnificent circle, and they came from every law of the ancient and profound past, present, and future, and condensed their power together to form the most brilliant poems and praises.

That is the origin of the law of light and the central part of the poetry of holiness. It has been recorded and engraved in every corner of the framework of the laws of this continent, and it is only now that it has been awakened again, re-showing its power to all things in the world.

"That's ——————!!"

Seeing this scene, the lich, who had always been calm, had a frightened expression on his face for the first time, and he rushed out of the command post and looked in the direction of the fortress. For the first time, the lich had a taste of fear in his heart. Not only him, but also the other undead creatures around him, they may be powerful, they may be sinister and cunning, but now, they just stand there stunned, looking at the night sky in the distance.

A nearly invisible silver-white line the size of a little finger shot down from the sky. Shining on one of the bone trolls, it looked unthreatening, as the bone trolls didn't even stop themselves, and the undead on top of it seemed to be oblivious. But soon, they realized that they had made the wrong choice.

Accompanied by the silvery white light, the runes that shrouded the entire night sky lit up one after another.

“Aumositerlor”

When the last character lights up. A dazzling and bright golden light suddenly flashed across the three magic circles, and immediately after, the most sacred power in the world was condensed together and crashed down.

A brilliant pillar of light with a radius of ten meters fell from the sky, blasting into the ground along the invisible guiding light, and the silver-white flames rushed and spread in all directions like a rushing tide, and the undead creatures within its range could not escape from the engulfment of this flame, they did not even have time to shout, and they did not have time to leave a memorial for the moment of their last existence in this worldly realm. It disappeared silently, under the invasion of a torrent of the most sacred energy. Torrents of light poured down, and nothing could stop them from erupting, and vast swaths of the undead were gone, leaving nothing behind.

"Bang dang."

Frederick was completely stunned at the moment, he stared blankly at the scene in front of him, and even the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, but at this moment, Frederick completely forgot the oath that "the sword is the first life of a knight", he just stared at the scene in front of him. There was already a blank in the brain, and the ability to think was completely lost. The white glow was not dazzling. Frederick could even see the huge, terrifying skeleton of bones crumble under the torrent of white light, and then disappear into the air in bits of dust. And on the ground, the surging divine flames mercilessly devoured every undead creature. It's like three giant erasers, rubbing a canvas that has been blacked out, very quickly. The black color disappears, and the paper that had been covered by it returns to its original color.

First one, then second, two thick pillars of light descended from the sky, washing away sin and death from the earth. But these glows only seem to work on the undead. The soldiers on the walls could only feel a warm and powerful force passing by them, and then the wounds on their bodies immediately vanished like spring snow melting in the sun.

The white pillars of light gradually dissipated, leaving only a little bit of light dust to show their former presence. And at this moment, under the walls of Rhodes' fortress, those undead legions that had already advanced to the moat had completely disappeared at this moment, and with just one blow, thousands of undead creatures were completely wiped out without a trace. They couldn't even leave the corpses behind, and the darkness that had covered the sky just now had completely disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.

For the first time, the undead armies who were tireless and did not know what fear was, stopped in their tracks, and even they could not ignore the powerful power that captured the soul. Collund closed his eyes and turned his head away, unable to even look directly at the dazzling light with his powers. Now Colund finally understood why the young human lord was so fearless, why he took his secrets so seriously, and he didn't want his scouts to find out what was in his territory. The Dark Dragon is on top, and he actually has an ancient legacy!! How is this possible? After the Battle of the Sages three hundred and fifty years ago, there is almost no trace of ancient heritage on this continent anymore! Who is he? Where did you get these things!?

Collund's shock even made him ignore the control of the undead for a while, and at this moment, the undead army that had been shocked just now stepped forward again, they were already dead creatures after all, and even the most shocking power could not bring any changes to their already dead souls. They resolutely moved on. Soon, the undead army once again refilled the originally bleached part like ink, and seeing this scene, I don't know what the road was about, Collund's heart jumped suddenly, but before he could grasp the core, he only saw that behind the fortress, there was another pillar of white and dazzling light rising into the sky.

"Retreat, retreat immediately!!"

Seeing this scene in front of him, Collund didn't even have time to think about the vague feeling that flashed in his heart just now, but gave the order in a hurry. However, at this time, even the people around him did not have the mood and time to appreciate the lich's angry movements, on the contrary, they also looked at the scene in front of them with shocked expressions. No one spoke. There was a dead silence in the entire command post, and then they saw a dazzling light fall from the sky again. Immediately afterward, everyone saw that the undead army that was oppressed by the black pressure was easily split in two, and thousands of undead creatures once again disappeared in that dazzling light.

The lich lowered its head, the soul fire in its eyes faintly dimming at this time. But it soon burned again.

"Retreat, order everyone, retreat."

Its voice was hoarse and muffled, but it gave orders without question.

The undead retreated like a tidal wave, and they retreated back under the protection of the dark dragon spirit. Waiting for the arrival of the next attack, and seeing this scene in front of them, the soldiers who were holding on to the city wall couldn't help but let out cheers. Of course, they knew that it was impossible for the undead to retreat. But even a temporary gain is a valuable victory for them.

"My lord, they retreated."

"I know it."

Listening to Bennie's report, Rod narrowed his eyes and replied with a frown. While everyone else was excited about fighting off the undead legion, Rhodes wasn't excited at all, knowing full well that it was just halftime. The Undead Legion won't leave here. Even if there is a statue of the Holy Maiden here, it is the same. Although the Holy Spear is the pinnacle of the inner ring's mid-tier divine spell, it doesn't mean that the undead legions are helpless about it. Otherwise. At the time of the Creation War, the dragon of light and the dragon of darkness were not evenly matched. Of course, the original dragon of light did not have a cheating construction system like Rhodes, which is probably one of the reasons, otherwise, with the financial resources of the dragon of light at that time, it could have directly built a circle of statues of saints and maidens around the border, and at that time, who is afraid of whom.

Come to think of it. Rod turned away.

"I have more things to do next, so I'll leave it to you, Captain Bennie, and report to me as soon as you find an enemy."

Unlike the previous somber and somewhat desperate combat meeting. This time, almost everyone present showed a look of excitement. Most of them, like Frederick, had a feeling of inadequacy at the beginning of the confrontation with the Undead Legion, but as Rhodes activated the statue of the Holy Maiden, the balance of victory and defeat was reversed in an instant. This immediately made everyone feel the hope of holding the fortress. Because of this, when Rod walked into the conference hall again, he felt the fiery gaze and trusting eyes of everyone, if before this, many of them had doubts about whether Rod was able to resist the attack of the undead army, then now, they are full of confidence.

But alas, Rhodes is not here to consolidate their self-confidence, but to pour cold water.

"I know what you're trying to say, guys."

Rod walked over to his seat and sat down, and his first words silenced the otherwise noisy conference room. Almost everyone looked at him, waiting for him to speak next.

"You may think we've won this war, but I'm sorry to tell you here that you're rejoicing too soon. Remember how you felt when you fought against the undead army? I can say with certainty that it will be something that you will be familiar with in the future, and that is what we will face on a regular basis. ”

"But my lord."

Hearing this, Frederick immediately stood up and spoke.

"We did lack the means to deal with the undead before, but didn't you activate the statue? It is so powerful that it can even wipe out thousands of undead creatures in a single blow, forcing them to withdraw their troops temporarily, if we continue like this, how can they have any hope of victory? ”

"Their withdrawal is only temporary, but because of circumstances that are not currently foreseen, Mr. Frederick."

"But, my lord, the impact of such a hasty withdrawal on the army is very great, and besides, they are ............... internally."

"Mr. Frederick."

Rod interrupted Frederick with a wave of his hand.

"We're talking about the undead, and they don't get demoralized by encouragement, and they don't languish from failure. They have only one belief, and that is to advance, fight, and reap death. So I can tell you for sure. The next time the undead army attacked the fortress again, they would not hesitate or waver in the slightest because of the power of the Holy Spear, and the banner was where they slew. Moreover, the statue of the Holy Maiden is not invincible. It also has a lot of weaknesses. ”

"Weakness?"

"Yes."

Saying this, Rod spread his hands.

"It takes time for them to build up power, and the area covered by the Holy Spear is limited. It takes tens of minutes to recharge each hit. If the undead take advantage of this to beat the time gap, we simply can't think of it. These weaknesses exist objectively, and I believe that the commander of the opposing side at the rear of the opposition clearly saw this, which is the main reason why it chose to withdraw its troops rather than continue the attack. ”

"Does that mean that if you have enough ancient heritage, my lord, we will be able to use these statues to keep the undead army out of the city completely?"

Hearing Frederick's inquiry, Rhodes couldn't help but glance curiously at the young Living Treasure Knight in front of him. I really didn't see that he was still a player at a young age, after all, such a shameless way was basically no one around him who had ever considered it. However, Rod quickly rolled his eyes and nodded.

"Yes, in theory. As an ancient legacy, the statue of the Holy Maiden uses the power of the divine law under the protection of the dragon soul of light. If I had enough statues of the Holy Maiden, I could keep them out. But unfortunately, in reality, I can't make so many statues of saints. ”

"What is this for? Your Excellency? ”

This time, it wasn't Frederick who asked. Rather, he was born as an officer with a glorious battle flag. Rod gave him a meaningful look, then shrugged his shoulders. Speak.

"It's simple, no money."

“……………… Huh? ”

Perhaps Rod's reason was so "simple and direct" that everyone present was almost stunned for a moment before reacting, and they stared at each other and couldn't understand how Rod could have such a reason. But soon, Rod gave the answer.

"It would take at least five or six million gold coins to make a statue of the Holy Maiden. It also requires a lot of magic crystals and various expensive gems. The production of the three existing statues of the Holy Maiden has almost emptied my territory, and I really can't afford to pay more to make the statues of the Holy Maiden. ”

Hearing Rod's answer, the officer nodded, but soon he asked again.

"Well, I can ask you. How long does it take to make a statue of the Holy Maiden? ”

"If it's fast, you can complete one in half a month."

Rhodes genuinely confirmed that his skill mastery level of "talking nonsense with his eyes open" was definitely at the legendary level.

Hearing Rod's answer, the officer nodded, and sat back in his chair. At this time, Rod noticed that the other people were also flickering, obviously having some special thoughts, but Rod did not say anything, he quickly missed the topic, and then began to warn everyone not to let their guard down. At the same time, he also demanded that from now on they must learn to act like vampires, that is, rest during the day and be on duty at night. Because the undead were captured by the power of the dragon soul of light, it was impossible to choose to attack in broad daylight. Especially in such a situation where the strength of the two sides is almost the same, weakening one's own strength is simply the rhythm of taking the initiative to send one's door to death. The Undead Legion can't be so stupid as to even know this. After all this, Rhodes called the meeting to a dissolution. And the people who were tired for half the night also said goodbye and left at this time. However, Rhodes knew very well that there must be other things to discuss privately, but it was okay——— this was originally part of the "998" promotion plan he discussed with Qilian.

So far, it seems to be going well.

Just after everyone left, Rod saw the little bubblegum and the canary walking towards him with a smile, today they did not participate in the battle is also one of the reasons why the previous city defense war was more difficult, for the sake of insurance, Rod has stipulated that the canary can use the power of the mage tower to assist within a certain range, but they must save their strength and wait for the attack of the night wurm at any time. It is precisely because of this that Rhodes exposed one of his trump cards so early. If the cunning and cautious lich thought he was cornering himself, Rhodes didn't mind letting him see what good cards he had left unopened.

"What's wrong? Can I help you? ”

"Do you remember the group of dark elves you met earlier? Rod? ”

"How?"

Hearing the canary's inquiry, Rhodes was stunned, he vaguely remembered that there was such a thing, but after returning to the fortress, because he had to prepare for the battle with the undead legion, Rod left this matter behind. Now it seems, is there trouble?

"You won't go unkilled, will you?"

"Not really, Captain."

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Little Bubblegum hurriedly shook her head. Soon, however, a smug smile appeared on the little girl's face.

"But we caught one, huh? Would you like to check it out? ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Rod was slightly stunned.
