508. Death Wave Erupts

Kokire swung the enormous heavy sword in his hand.

I only heard the whistling wind and thunder suddenly sound, like a flat thunderbolt. Immediately afterward, within a fan-shaped range of tens of meters in front of Ko Jilei, there was a strong shaking in the entire space, and faintly there were even cobweb-like cracks floating in the air, which was obviously a shock in the space.

However, the effect of this blow is just as obvious.

All the skeletons gathered in the area were shattered and turned into powder.

In the blink of an eye, the ground was already covered with a thick layer of bone meal.

However, this fan-shaped area, which was in a state of vacuum, only lasted less than a second, and was filled with countless skeletons.

If you look down from above, you can see that the entire Forest of Sighs has been submerged in a sea of white skeletons. And in this ocean, Cecilia and the others, who are protected by Kokire and Rena, are like a lonely boat that is drifting with the undulations of the waves of the ocean. Although they were struggling hard and tenaciously trying to break through the encirclement of this sea of skulls, it seemed like an endless sea of skulls, but it also forced a strong man as strong as Kokire to break through easily.

It's not that Kokire can't break through and leave, it's that he can't protect everyone and leave safely, even with the help of Rena, who is not inferior to the super powerhouse, the result is the same. Because it wasn't just these skeletons that were currently surrounding Kokyre and the others, and even making it difficult for them to move - although these skeletons were not ordinary low-level undead, but as high as fifth-order bone warriors - there were also countless other undead creatures lurking in the shadows.

If Kokire and Rena want to break out and leave, it's not like they can't go. But without the protection of these two powerhouses, even if there are still Cecilia and Angel in the team, two powerhouses who cannot be regarded as ordinary sanctuary. The final result of this team still cannot escape the fate of being buried here.

"What the hell is going on!" Angel's face was full of surprise, "How could it suddenly become like this!" …… We've been stuck here for five days now. If we continue like this, even we will collapse due to lack of energy. ”

It's rare that Cecilia didn't argue with Angel, but her face wasn't much better. Especially as a magician, she is also a magician who specializes in fire magic, and when the entire Forest of Sighs was filled with these undead creatures, she directly expanded the realm to trigger Solomon's seventy-two flames to the extreme, basically relying on Cecilia's strength to tear out a safe path for the first two days.

After all, flame and holy light have long been known as the two strongest killer moves against the undead.

It's just that even if it's a mage in the middle of the Sanctuary. There will always be times when you are constantly using magic. Cecilia was in such a state at this time, if it weren't for some potions that Sean had deliberately collected for Cecilia to restore her magic and spirit, Cecilia would have fainted due to the excessive consumption of magic and energy.

"It's a dead tide." Tini replied for Cecilia.

Originally, as the servants and representatives of the gods in the earthly world, they should be able to cause great damage to such undead creatures. However, Tini is not a priest and priest who uses magic as the main means of combat, but a special profession that focuses on martial arts and is supplemented by magic skills, which also leads to the extremely limited combat power that Tini can exert in the face of these undead creatures. It's not much better than the others.

"This can't be, why is there a sudden outbreak of death!" Angel looked incredulous.

As a thousand-year-old Allied Empire living next to the land of black soil, it is no stranger to the outbreak of the Death Tide, although it is not known the specific conditions under which it will occur. But over the years, I have also mastered some quite rules. At least the interval between the outbreak of the dead tide is generally about 20 years, and even if there is a sudden inducement that causes the accelerated formation and outbreak of the dead tide, the interval is definitely more than 10 years. After all, even undead creatures can't be born out of thin air, but they also need a birth process.

The Zoandon family was able to become the most powerful family in the southern part of the empire. It was because at that time, in the midst of a catastrophe that broke out in the tide of death, Pu Hughes, who had taken over the leadership of the Zoandon family. Zoandon did not evacuate as soon as the Death Tide broke out, as other Southern nobles did. Instead, he used his influence to organize an army, and then successfully resisted the outbreak of the dead tide under his command. As a result, instead of allowing the disaster to expand further, it preserved the military headquarters and nobles of most of the southern part of the empire, including the Zoandon family, and laid the foundation for the second death wave that followed.

At that time, Pusius was only twenty-five years old.

Through this command, Pusius showed amazing military qualities, and he soon became the most powerful aristocracy in the southern part of the empire. The major battle that made him Duke of the Empire was also the Death Tide, the second Death Tide less than a decade after the last one. It's just that compared with ten years ago, the scale of this death wave is much smaller, and the power that Pusius can use is much larger, so this time the death wave disaster has completely ended before it even has any impact on southern Xinjiang.

The Land of Black Earth is located in the southeast of the Thousand Year Covenant Empire, and is actually bordered by more areas than the eastern frontier of the Empire. Therefore, when the previous death wave broke out, the most affected and severely affected was naturally the eastern territory of the empire, followed by the southern part of the empire. It's just that every time the death tide breaks out, the entire southeast of the empire will be almost destroyed, so about every twenty years or so, the Millennium Covenant Empire will have a heavy hemorrhage, which also limits the comprehensive national strength development of the Millennium Covenant Empire to a large extent.

It's just that this time the tide of death was stopped by Pusius when he was affected in the south, and he recovered a lot of losses for the empire. To this end, the empire integrated the most prosperous counties in the south, Hamburg, Große, Lesser Serem, and the southern counties of Hesse into the Dukedom of Hamsen, which was given to the Zoandon family as a hereditary dukedom. Zoandon became the first Duke of Hamson. At the same time, he commanded the Southern Front of the Empire.

After this, the then fifty-five-year-old Duke Hamson. Pu Hughes. Zoandon finally ushered in the third death wave of his life. What was supposed to be a death wave that would only break out once every 20 years or so has erupted three times in a short period of 30 years. Although this third outburst of the dead tide was twenty years after the second outbreak, it can be regarded as a normal eruption that has accumulated deep enough.

But on the other hand, there is Pusius. Zoandon has become the Duke of the Empire, and at the same time is in charge of all military forces in the southern part of the Empire. So in terms of confrontation, compared to the one twenty years ago, Pusius. Zoandon has a prettier hand, of course.

And this duke did not disappoint the empire.

This time the Death Tide broke out, causing only a small impact in the eastern part of the empire and was successfully stopped. While almost a quarter of the eastern part of the empire still fell, it was at least nearly half of the damage over the years. It can already be considered a brilliant victory. After that, Duke Putius, who had already figured out quite a lot of regularity and experience, also wrote a report on the Black Soil Land and the Forest of Sighs, and then every three years, the Duke would organize a large-scale expedition to the Forest of Sighs to exterminate these undead in large numbers.

As a result, the entire southern and eastern parts of the empire were at peace for thirty years.

Even the Millennial Covenant Empire believes that the disaster of the death tide that has plagued the Empire for thousands of years has been overwhelmed by the Purs. Zoandon was over.

But Angel didn't expect that there had been a death wave that had not broken out for thirty years. It actually broke out at this moment! And both in terms of size and quality, it far exceeds all records in the history of the thousand-year Covenant Empire - as the vanguard army of the Death Tide has always been the lowest-level skeleton, occasionally mixed with skeleton warriors, zombies, and other undead troops. Only after the large-scale raid on the villages and towns has accumulated enough material will there be more advanced undead creatures. And powerful undead creatures such as black knights, bone mages, and black knights can only be encountered after encounters with the armies of the thousand-year-old Covenant Empire. will begin to be born.

Pu Hughes. In addition to paying a great price for the first time when he ended the Death Tide, Zoandon fought and died the Death Tide disaster on the second two occasions. He completely strangled all of this before the Death Tide formed a huge scale and a sufficient number and quality of troops. And the facts have proven. Duke Putius was very correct in doing this, and although the results of the battlefield casualty statistics afterwards were bright red, they were undoubtedly brilliant in terms of merit.

But this time, the one gathered in the Forest of Sighs, who played the role of the vanguard of the Death Tide disaster, was the Bone Warriors!

The Bone Warrior is a powerful undead class between the fifth and sixth ranks.

They wear armor, hold shields, and carry a series of heavy weapons such as swords, machetes, and axes, which require a certain amount of strength to wield. In terms of class class alone, the Bone Warriors are equivalent to the heavy infantry classes of the human world, they not only have quite excellent defensive capabilities, but also are not ambiguous in terms of attack capabilities, and it can be said that this type of troops already has a considerable degree of offensive capabilities.

Even in the army of the undead, the Skeleton Warriors are not used as cannon fodder.

But now, these skeletons that Angel saw that looked no different from skeleton soldiers, but they were all bone warriors, and there were even many bone demons among them - this is a standard sixth-order undead creatures, they have more powerful combat power than bone warriors, and they also have a certain degree of command ability, which can be regarded as a middle-level commander in the undead army who is responsible for commanding bones, skeletons and other undead creatures.

According to Angel's knowledge and experience of the Dead Tide, the undead troops gathered in the Forest of Sighs generally act as the vanguard of the Death Tide disaster. In the history of the thousand-year-old Covenant Empire, the vanguard of the Death Tide disaster was composed of countless cannon fodder skeletons or walking corpses, and even after conquering a large number of villages and towns and obtaining enough corpses, it was not possible to see the Bone Warriors, let alone the Bone Demons.

Because the highest-level undead creature that appeared in the past was the sixth-order Black Knight. Although the Black Knights already have a certain level of thinking and intelligence, they are not good at commanding after all, and they are known for their strong combat effectiveness, so basically every so-called Deathtide disaster is just a purposeless sabotage operation.

But now, the Deathtide Vanguard gathered in the Forest of Sighs has actually appeared Bone Demon. Even the most unresponsive person knows that the nature of it is completely different!

An army of the undead under the command of a commander. and the army of the undead without the command of a commander are fundamentally two concepts!

Angel couldn't imagine. If in the wave of death that broke out in the past few decades, there were undead creatures with strong combat power and command ability such as the Bone Demon from the beginning, would the eastern and southern parts of the Millennium Covenant Empire still be able to hold on? You must know that the destruction and influence caused by the undead army of the commander as present can be called a real dead tide - the so-called dead tide before cannot be called a dead tide in the strict sense, but can only be said to be a disaster of the undead.

"This is a real death-tide disaster." Cecilia said a little weakly, her consumption in the past few days was too great, "It hasn't happened in the Miracle Continent for almost a thousand years. ”

"Three and five hundred years, to be exact." Angel's expression was very dejected. It seems that she also knows what this means, "In the archives of the Empire, there are all the records of the Dead Tide. The last time what could truly be called a Deathtide was 3,500 years ago, when the Empire had to pay a great deal to kill a lich and a large number of necromancers and necromancers. But the empire also paid a heavy price. …… Why did you ...... at this time?"

Cecilia looked at Angel with some sympathy.

Because she knew what Angel meant by "this time".

The last real death wave disaster, the Millennium Covenant Empire was not in the midst of civil strife and division, but that Millennium Covenant Empire also paid an extremely heavy price. This time, however, the Millennial Covenant Empire was in the midst of civil strife, although it had largely subsided. However, the previous internal friction losses still exist, and it is impossible to recover without a few years of recuperation.

And the outbreak of a real death wave disaster at such a time is undoubtedly a major blow to the thousand-year-old Covenant Empire.

"It seems. The undead creatures weren't ready to strike. Rena, who had been silent and was only responsible for killing the enemy, suddenly spoke.

"What's the use? With the Bone Demons here, they won't let us leave easily. Angel forced herself to pull herself together. But the desperation in his eyes was also clearly visible, "We can't get out of here." It is impossible to convey the message of the death tide disaster. So according to the Empire's response, they will only deal with it as if it were an ordinary undead rage. By the time they found out something was wrong, it was too late. ”

"So, we're going to get out of here!" Cecilia said in a deep voice.

"You mean......" Angel was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes became firm, "You're right, then...... Who's going to break through? ”

"It's just Kokire."

Cecilia glanced at Kokire, the little guy who had easily eliminated all the undead who approached him, and looked extremely relaxed. However, after hearing Cecilia's voice, the little guy turned his head to look at Cecilia with a bit of dazed expression in his eyes.

"Kokire, I have something to ask you."

Cecilia opened her mouth and said to Kokire, naturally hoping that Kokire would immediately break through and tell the outside world about the matter here. Of course, Cecilia didn't forget that Kokire couldn't speak, so she also deliberately entered a piece of information into a magic stone crystal, as long as Kokire handed this magic stone crystal to someone else, she would be able to immediately know the situation here.

However, what Cecilia didn't expect was that after hearing this, Kokire turned his head and continued to compete with these undead, and had no intention of leaving.

This moment caused everyone present to fall into silence.

Only Rena sighed helplessly: "It seems that this little guy will not leave, he should only obey Lord Sean's orders, unless Miss Cecilia you go with you." (To be continued......)
