Chapter 107: The Beacon of the Falling Eagle (IV)

As Garling said, early the next morning, the Combine launched a fierce attack on the undead, and they relied on their great strength to advance towards the Falling Eagle Peak. The undead relied on their geographical superiority to hold on, and it was an important battle for both sides, and they had no reason to give up on each other.

It's the same with Rhodes.

"It looks like it's already going on."

Listening to the noise and roar in the distance overhead, Rhodes raised his eyebrows, in the empty valley, roars and explosions can be heard from time to time, although there are no guns in this world, there is no ground advance and aerial bombardment support of armored forces, but relying on the power of magic and soul, the fight is still very lively.

But this was not what Rhodes needed to care about, he lowered his head, glanced at the people around him, and spoke.

"Let's move on."

Of course, Rod would not be stupid enough to take Lijie and others to attack the Falling Eagle Mountain Peak in the army, and it is easy to have unexpected situations in the chaotic army that he cannot grasp, which Rhodes cannot tolerate. Second, Dongfang Shanyuan doesn't have much affection for outsiders like him, unless he waits until the situation is critical to be a savior, Rod thinks that his help is completely cold and hot, and it's boring to find himself. Three......... The current situation was originally intentional by him.

Why did Rhodes ask Marlene to send the statue of the Holy Maiden to the Eastern Mountains in advance after receiving this task? His purpose was to alleviate the pressure of fighting in the eastern mountains, so as to reduce the danger he might encounter. The situation of the Falling Eagle Peak is not unknown to Rhodes, as long as the crisis on the front line of the Eastern Mountains can be alleviated, then whether it is the Eastern Mountains freeing up their hands to clean up this group of guys, or the undead legions here drawing troops to support the front line, it is a great benefit for Rhodes.

And now, it's time for him to recoup his investment.

Rod didn't choose to enter the Falling Eagle Peak from the front. Because he knows that there is no need for the Dao, the War Law Regiment has been operating in the Falling Eagle Mountain Peak for many years, so he naturally has his own secrets, and of course Rhodes also knows the Dao. Although Dongfang Shanyuan has a lot of secrets, there is no shortage of quests for players, and Rhodes once did the mission of the War Art Troupe. That's why he is so concerned about their strong strength, and he also knows the core secret of the Battle Method...............

The Yunkong Plank Road is located on the side of the Falling Eagle Peak, and the plank road built of wooden sticks is lined up along the steep mountain wall, and the howling wind blows from the plank road, bringing a chill. Looking downward, you can clearly see the bottomless abyss under your feet. The boardwalk is just over a meter wide, and there are not even handrails, so you can only walk forward against the cliff next to it. If you are not careful, it is very likely that you will fall off the cliff like this, and then ......... There is no then.

This is one of the secrets of the War Method, after losing the ancient inheritance, this is also the only legacy they have leftβ€”β€”β€” the Cloud Sky Plank Road, only the strongest in the War Law Group are eligible to pass through the Cloud Sky Plank Road, go to the deep holy land, and receive the baptism and test of opening the soul path there. Although the inheritance is lost. However, this traditional warfare group has been preserved, in order to regain the inheritance in the future if there is a chance to regain it. Then it is not even how to enter the path of the soul. And from the current point of view, the decision of the War Law Group is still very correct. Of course, this kind of plank road is not too difficult for others, whether it is Lijie, Leo or Annie, it seems very easy. To Rod's surprise, even Christie didn't show the slightest fear or worry. She followed Anne like a light elf. Originally, Rhodes was worried that Christie would not be able to keep up with others because of fear or physical problems, and he even planned to let Anne help Christie, but now it seems that the girl does not seem to have the slightest worry and fear because she is in the high boardwalk, and she hides behind Anne like this. Trying to follow the footsteps of everyone, seeing this, Rod was much more relieved.........

"Right ahead."

Soth pointed to the cave that connected to the plank road not far away and whispered. Looking at the path in front of him, he seemed to recall once again the scene when he first stepped into this cloud plank road a long time ago, when he was just a young man, full of enthusiasm, and wanted to carry forward the war law group like his ancestors, but now......... He has passed the age of dreaming, but even so, recalling the high spirits at the beginning, and then looking at his down-and-out appearance now, Soth himself can't help but sigh helplessly. Soon, however, Soth withdrew his thoughts, and he strode forward.

The dark entrance to the cave was unusually silent, but Soth didn't care about that, instead, he walked into the cave............

And at this moment, a change suddenly occurred.

"Whew!!"

Dazzling sword light staggered and burst out of the darkness and slashed towards Soth!

In the face of this sudden attack, Soth was taken aback, but as one of the three deputy leaders of the War Law Regiment, Soth still had the strength. He jumped backwards, dodging the sudden attack, and then Soth held out his hands, and soon, a stream of magical runes emerged from his arm, and the glow of magic intertwined into a sturdy shield in front of Soth. At the same time, another dazzling light burst out of the darkness.

"Bell!!"

The glittering sword light slammed into the magical barrier in front of Soth, and then dissipated into bits of light dust. Soth's complexion changed slightly, and his body shook a little, but soon stabilized again. And at this time, everyone finally saw the true face of the attacker.

"What's that?"

Seeing the attacker in front of her, Li Jie couldn't help but cry out in surprise. And Anne also opened her eyes curiously, looking at these "enemies" in front of her.

It was a number of strange beings who appeared to be heavily armed, but their bodies were translucent. Outwardly, they look like ghosts, but they are a little different from the ghosts of the undead army, the ghost form in the Night Kingdom is very vague, they are like a cloud of water vapor, only a vague approximate form, which makes people seem to know that they are ghosts. And in the midst of the undead army. Ghosts are usually used as scouts, and it's hard to see them in drovesβ€”β€”β€” as their defenses are too weak.

But at the moment these "ghosts" are completely different.

They look as if they are living beings, and can even see the folds in the clothes they wear, as well as their faces, which is very rare for ghosts, as ghosts are basically dead. However, they are still nostalgic for the existence of mortal mortals, but most soul bodies have lost too much soul power when they die, and they rely more on an obsession to maintain their existence in this world. And apart from this obsession, they have no impression of their names, or even their appearances, so most of the ghosts look very vague, and it would be nice to be able to barely have a figure. Although there are some high-level ghost classes in the Undead Legion that can do it, those ghosts are all magically bound beings. Like a beast...... There is no will at all.

And right now, these ghosts not only have a clear form, but even their consciousness seems to be clear! If it weren't for their translucent bodies, I'm afraid no one would think they were ghosts.

"These are the guardian spirits that guard the soul passage."

Soth let out a sigh, and then hurriedly blocked Anne and the others who were about to make a move, and then explained.

"They are our ancestors, and generations of guardians of the War Laws will let their souls rest here after their deaths, to test the strength of their successors to inherit all that they have to ..............."

Said here. Soth took a half-step forward, and then he reached for the staff he was carrying behind his back. Hold it high. It was a staff that looked plain at first glance, its whole body was made of ebony, and the place at the top that should have been inlaid with gems was unexpectedly turned into a sharp blade like the head of a spear, and several mysterious blue gems followed a certain trajectory towards it, forming an unpredictable rune.

"As the guardian of the soul, I am here to ask for your permission. Dear Guardians, I hope you will return to your place of eternal sleep and get out of the way! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

But to Soth's surprise, hearing his own words, the guardians in front of him had no intention of getting out of the way. Instead, they walked slowly forward, and at the same time, several guardians stepped out of the wall, weapons in their hands, and strode forward.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦ They......... It seems like......... Very angry..............."

Christie grabbed the corner of Anne's coat, bared her head and looked ahead, and said uneasily. Not only Christie, but even Rod and Lijie and others also noticed that the originally calm atmosphere was beginning to become tense at this time, Lijie clasped her hands and took two steps back. Although Rod's expression remained unchanged, his right hand was already hanging down from his waist, and soon, a white card appeared from it, sandwiched between Rod's fingers.

"Holy Ancestors!"

Soth also frowned, he also noticed that the situation in front of him was a little strange, but he still raised the staff in his hand and shouted loudly.

"I have the key of my soul in my hand and have come here to humbly pray to open the way to inheritance. I beg you to get out of the way! ”

"Woo....................."

But in the face of Soth's request, these guardian spirits still did not have the slightest intention of giving way, on the contrary, they raised their heads, and at this moment, everyone was surprised to find that the faces of these guardian spirits, which were originally normal, suddenly began to become distorted! Their eyes suddenly widened and glowed bright red, and their mouths were cracked all the way to the base of their ears, like devils! Then, they waved their weapons and pounced on everyone!

"Do it!"

Perhaps Thor would not dare to act rashly because these guardian spirits were his ancestors, but Rhodes obviously did not have such concerns, and he did not make a move before to give Thus face. Now that Soth can't control these guardian spirits, he naturally won't be beaten passively like this. At the same time as those guardian spirits attacked, Rhodes also shook his body and rushed forward.

Unlike Thos, at the same time that these guardian spirits showed their hideous faces, Rhodes had already sensed that these soul bodies had been completely controlled by necromancy! The dark aura of necromancy on their bodies was all too familiar to Rhodes, and although he didn't know what was going on here, Rhodes was sure that things weren't as smooth as Soth said!

"Whew!!"

Rhodes stretched out his right hand, and the holy card in his hand was transformed into a bright and dazzling sword in an instant. Bombarded forward with an incomparable divine aura. The powerful power of the roar condensed into an irresistible hurricane rag, surging and rushing forward, only to see Rod stretch out his hand forward, and with his movements, the white light curtain shot straight forward, hitting the body of the guardian warrior led by him. Subsequently. I saw that the burly and tall guardian spirit warrior wailed like this, and the whole person completely burst like a soap bubble, turning into a little dust and disappearing into the air, without a trace.

However, that didn't stop the other Patrons. Just as Rhodes stabbed out with a sword, he saw two more guardian spirits holding long swords, one left and one right, attacking him from both sides! And in the face of their attack, Rod reacted quickly, and he slashed the long sword in his hand to the left with his backhand. At the same time, an illusory shadow split from Rod's body, and like a reflection in a mirror, he slashed to the other side with a long sword.

"Bell!!"

The two swords intersected with the two guardian spirits almost at the same time, and Rhodes and his clones were both in shape, but then, the overwhelming roaring starlight burst out, enveloping the two guardian spirits on the ground, and only two soft sounds of "poof" were heard. I saw that the two soul bodies were pierced through the body by countless sword lights, and then completely disappeared.

Attack strong and defend weak.

Until this time. Rod made his own judgment on these guardian spirits in front of him, their offensive strength was similar to his own, in the contact just now, Rod could even feel the power of the rules that accompanied the opponent's weapons, although the power of these rules was broken and weak, but it could not be ignored. But the other way around. Perhaps because these guardian spirits are soul bodies, their defense power is not very strong, only at the level of early fifties.

But that's just for yourself!

"Keep up with me, these guys are tough to deal with!"

Rod, who won the first blow, did not immediately take advantage of the victory to pursue, on the contrary. As soon as his right hand loosened, he saw the divine sword in his hand roaring forward like this. Piercing through the chest of another guardian spirit, silver-white flames erupted, and then, with the stretch of her white wings, Celia's figure emerged, her flaming sword in her hand, and pushed forward. And Rod raised his right hand, and soon, on the back of his palm, the brilliance of the summoning circle flickered, and a pitch-black card appeared in the center of Rode's palm.

The dark viper circled through the air in an eerie arc, dispersing all the guardians who had planned to surround them. The nightmare in Rod's hand whistled through the air, and with an obscure aura it easily tore apart a guardian spirit that had no time to dodge, causing it to disappear under the black flames. But before the guardians could react, Rhodes had already let go of his right hand, and in the blink of an eye, the figure of Celestina flew out of the void, and the devil lady was still proud and complacent, she stretched out her hands, and countless thorn whips flew out of the girl's sleeves, overwhelmingly enveloping the enemy in front of her.

The Guardians were also shaken by the strange attacks they received, and for the first time they retreated in the face of the combined attack of Celia and Celestina, and disappeared into the depths of the dark cave. And until this time, under the cover of Rhodes and others, the others finally passed the plank road safely and came to the front of the cave.

"What the hell is going on?"

Until this dependence, Soth hadn't recovered from his previous shock, he didn't expect that his ancestor's guardian spirit would actually ignore the existence of the soul path mark and attack them? The Holy Soul is above, what is going on? Soth clenched the staff in his hand tightly, gritting his teeth, unable to understand why such a thing could happen.

"These spirits seem to have been manipulated by necromancy."

"Manipulated by necromancy? How is this possible? ”

Hearing Rod's answer, Soth was taken aback.

"These guardian spirits are the most powerful people in our battle magic group............ How could they be controlled by the undead? Moreover, this is the top secret place of the War Law Order, and unless you are a person who has been baptized by the soul, you are not qualified to step into this holy place at all. Not even the undead! We have been dealing with the undead for so many years, so naturally it is impossible for them to enter our holy land so easily, or even desecrate our ancestors! ”

"But now, at least, it doesn't look like it's as simple as you think, Soth."

Saying this, Rod glanced at the dark cave in front of him and couldn't help frowning. He had helped the War Wizards to complete their missions, and of course he knew the relationship between the Dao Guardian Spirit and here. According to Rod's memory, these guardian spirits were supposed to sleep here, guarding the altar, waiting for the orthodox heir who held the soul path mark to appear, and then follow his path. But now it seems that things are not so simple......... Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but glance at Christie who was following behind Anne, until now, he still hadn't figured out what mission he had to specify for Christie. Because Christie didn't show the slightest along the way, he didn't even give any particularly meaningful reminders, and he didn't give Rod some prophecies or guidance like the "Christie" in Rhodes' dream. Until now, Christie's role has been nil.

Could it be that I got the task prompt wrong? After all, the mission didn't name Christie to go, did it?

Rhodes himself felt that it was too clumsy for him to make excuses until now, and even if he was mistaken, could he still turn around and send Christie back?

"Let's move on."

Thinking of this, Rhodes spoke. (To be continued......)
