509. The Silent Death Ride
Sean and Alexis infiltrated the territory of the Millennium Covenant Empire by special means.
If one of the parties closes the magic circulation node, the magic teleportation array centered on this node will be closed, and the magic teleportation array will naturally be unusable. However, due to technical reasons, unlike the teleportation array, which was completely controlled by the goddess of magic during the Dawn Era, once the node of the modern magical teleportation array is closed, it will affect several surrounding magic teleportation arrays.
This point has become the key to the control of strategic points by the countries on the Miracle Continent.
Like the Millennium Covenant Empire, which is located in the Millennial Covenant area of the Savage Lands, this fortress not only did not open any nodes of the teleportation network, but even did not set up a teleportation magic array. And not only the thousand-year Covenant Empire, but also the six major entrance and exit areas of the entire Savage Land, except for the Great Rift Valley controlled by Sean, the other five regions are the same, after all, for these countries, the impression that the Savage Land is their backyard has never changed.
Therefore, all the tribes in the Wild Land are now close to Sean's Void Principality, and even have signs of unity, and these countries that have always regarded the Wild Land as their own backyard and an important source of economy are naturally extremely dissatisfied.
This is also the reason why more and more other forces are infiltrating the wild tribes these days. They may not know about Sean's Void Empire plan, but people with a keen sense of politics have definitely smelled something unusual, so they have sent intelligence officers to find out more information.
Originally, because of the departure of Sean, Cecilia, William and others, plus Hela's return to the Void Duchy. So this side of the Savage Land is in a state of "emptiness". In this case, once it is used by someone with a heart. Even if Sean's Void Empire plan is not destroyed by this, there will definitely be many twists and turns. In this regard, Sean will ask William to return to the town immediately.
In terms of intelligence warfare, Sean has always felt that William can definitely rank in the top three of the entire Miracle Continent, so he is not worried at all.
It's just that because the Millennium Covenant Empire did not teleport the magic array, and Sean's identity was too sensitive, he could only let Alexis take him to forcibly cross the Millennium Covenant Zone close to the Cutting Wall Mountain Range. This mountain range is of the same origin as the Broken Dragon Mountains, but the branches are different, but they are essentially the same harsh and steep, and there is a miasma that surrounds the top of the mountain all year round, blocking the conventional means of climbing and climbing.
The only passage of the Broken Dragon Mountains that can be crossed. There is only the Broken Dragon Valley where the Third Garrison Army, which is about to be liberated, is stationed.
Of course, if it is called conventional, then it must be traversed by unconventional means.
For example, the powerhouses above the legendary level fly directly across the air.
If a strong person of this level wants to forcibly cross over, except for a strong person of the same level who can block it slightly, no one can intercept it at all. So although Alexis leaked out with Sean's aura of flying through the air for others to capture, no one wanted to come to the trouble of killing Wu Ji - if it weren't for the fact that the Millennium Covenant Empire was in a situation of serious civil strife, according to the normal process, after Alexis entered the territory of the Millennium Covenant Empire, there would be a strong person to come and watch.
Just as Edward flew through the skies of the Emilian Empire as a demon god. At that time, many super powerhouses in the empire were waiting for them, fearing that this demon god would make trouble.
At this moment, after crossing the steep mountains and entering the thousand-year Covenant Empire, Sean and Alexis rushed towards the Forest of Sighs without stopping.
Maybe it's the eagerness to see Sean. This time, Alexis didn't play with Sean, but led him towards the Forest of Sighs.
Sean didn't speak all the way, as they got closer to the Forest of Sighs. The dull sense of panic that made Sean's heart palpitate became even more obvious. He didn't know what was going on over there in the Forest of Sighs, but he knew Cecilia and they must be in trouble. Because Sean found himself unable to connect with Kokire, as if some powerful force field had distorted the psychic communication between them.
This phenomenon is by no means unusual.
It's just that Sean can only suppress all his irritability and panic. Turn it into the deepest anger in your heart and save it for an outburst one day.
"Take a break."
After several days of continuous travel, even Alexis and Sean could bear it, but Sean still chose to rest when he already saw the Forest of Sighs. After really seeing this devastated and dead forest, Sean calmed down, because even if it was about dozens of kilometers away, Sean could clearly feel the death aura of the Sigh Forest so thick that it almost turned into substance.
The pervasiveness of this breath was not a natural formation, but mixed with many man-made traces, as if someone was forcibly catalyzing the entire forest.
In the entire Miracle Continent, if there is anyone who can catalyze such a gathering place of the undead with special means, it must be a strong person above the legendary rank who has profound attainments in the field of death. It's just that the reason why Sean really frightened and was forcibly suppressed by him was that according to Sean's understanding of the process of the game world, the current scene did not appear at all.
Almost without even thinking about it, Sean knew that what the Forest of Sighs was condensing at the moment was definitely a wave of death.
But in the course of the game's history, the outbreak time of the Death Tide is not at this time at all, and even the place where the outbreak broke out is not on the southern continent.
Sean took a few deep breaths before he finally calmed down completely.
Alexis glanced at Sean with some curiosity, and suddenly said, "You seem to know what's ahead?" β
"If I'm not mistaken." Sean's face was a little gloomy, "The previous owner of the forest has been replaced, and this new owner, I'm afraid, is very unwelcome to our visit." β
"Oh?" Alexis raised an eyebrow with interest, "Strong?" β
"Very strong." Sean said in a deep voice, "And it's not powerful in the usual sense. β
Alexis raised an eyebrow. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. Her contact with Sean has not been a day or two, and she has no regard for the temperament and strength of her contractor. She has a relatively deep understanding, so Alexis knows that Sean will not say these two words easily. But this time, he simply said these two words. This can't help but make Alexis a little more serious.
It was only soon that Alexis's face showed a bit of excitement.
Just as Alexis already knows Sean well, Sean also has a relatively good understanding of Alexis. Seeing such an excited look on her face, and staring at a certain place in the night, Sean's gaze naturally looked over, but unlike the excitement on Alexis's face, Sean's face showed a cautious look of vigilance.
A cold snap suddenly blew out.
What was once an empty place was filled with darkness like an abyss.
At this moment, Sean found out. The so-called emptiness was actually just an illusion, and the real situation was that it was already shrouded in extreme darkness, and even perception could not penetrate this darkness, let alone the vision of the naked eye.
A young rider with a pale face is slowly emerging from the darkness.
The young rider wears a suit of armor made of unknown materials, which is polished to a smooth and even faint dark sheen. The young rider had quite handsome features, but his face was very pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, and his hair was black. With slightly curly hair and equally black eyes, if it weren't for Sean's knowledge of the Cinnas, he would have mistaken the rider for the Cynas.
The rider's mount under his crotch. It was a war horse wearing a vest, and judging from the exposed limbs, it should be a pure black war horse. But it's not so much a war horse. It would be more appropriate to say that it was some kind of horse-like magical beast, because this war horse was almost three meters tall. His eyes were blood-red, shining with a look of wisdom such as excitement and cruelty. Even the qi and blood surging in the body are extraordinarily strong.
The young rider slowly drew a knight's broadsword, and with a slight tug of the reins, the steed was aimed at Sean and Alexis.
A terrifying wave of momentum suddenly erupted from the rider and the warhorse.
Sean's face looked more cautious, but he was not intimidated by this momentum, even though Sean had sensed from his momentum that this rider had legendary level strength. But now that he has Alexis by his side, a legendary powerhouse, he is just an enemy of the legendary class, and it is not enough to make Sean feel troublesome - of course, Shaun can also guess that this must be the disadvantage of the old lich of Lake.
"Silence Death Rider." Alexis' brow furrowed slightly, apparently recognizing the identity of the young rider in front of him, "This is no ordinary undead creature. β¦β¦ You're talking about a strong enemy that is a lich, right? β¦β¦ Well, I'm afraid it has to be a quasi-great witch who is qualified to compete for the title of Lich King. β
"It's not a quasi-great witch, but one of the real seven great witches of the bone plane." Sean said in a deep voice, "But even if it's that old lich, there won't be many Silent Death Riders under his command. β¦β¦ As long as this guy is solved, it will be enough to make the old lich feel distressed. β
"The Seven Great Witches. Hey, kind of interesting. Alexis nodded slightly, and then took a step forward, while his left and right hands were already on the hilts of the two slashing blades tied around his waist, "Then I'll be a little more serious, get rid of this undead creature as soon as possible, and force that old lich out." β¦β¦ I just don't know which one it is. β
"Scourge of the undead. Lake, have you heard of it? Shaun knew that Alexis often traveled to various planes, and there were many enemies such as gods, extraterrestrial creatures, and even demons, demons, and so on that died at her hands, so he was not at all surprised that Alexis had fought the Lich King.
Unfortunately, Alexis had apparently not heard of the lich's name, so she just shook her head.
As if sensing Alexis' strength, the Silent Death Rider's brow furrowed, and a milky white flame suddenly ignited from the broad-bladed sword in his right hand, and there was a faint blue glow inside the flameβa flame unique to the bone plane: Pale Flame. And the horse under his command, which was supposed to be the mount of the Necromantic Nightmare, also began to shake his right front hoof to plow the ground.
There was no communication, no temptation, as if it was a rehearsal, filled with a subtle sense of tacit understanding.
Alexis and the Silent Death Rider charged at each other at the same moment!
The Silent Death Rider, which was supposed to have an advantage in speed and charging power, didn't seem to have any advantage in Alexis, because the distance between the two sides when they ran was the same! This also means that Alexis, who runs on only his legs, is not weaker in speed and charging power than the Silent Death Rider on a war horse, and even surpasses it!
In Sean's opinion, it was Alexis and the Silent Rider who charged at the same time, and then only a second later, the two sides were already colliding with each other.
A strong storm instantly swept out in all directions with the two of them as the core.
Even Sean, in the face of this storm-like impact, he had to close his eyes, and even raise his hand to relieve the pressure by using the obstacles.
Alexis, who was in the center of the storm, had a very calm look on his face.
The pure black slashing blade "Dimm" held in her right hand was blocking the broad-bladed sword of the Silent Death Rider, and even if the pale flame on the blade burned vigorously, it could never be transmitted to Alexis's blade, as if a black hole was sealed in the sword, and it was constantly devouring the pale flame that was trying to invade.
In the eyes of the Silent Death Rider, a flame suddenly lit up, as if to express its inner emotions.
The necromantic nightmare also felt the mood swing in its master's heart, and it let out a high-pitched cry that was not much inferior to that of the wailing banshee, and then suddenly stood up. The Silent Death Rider sitting on his back also took the opportunity to break off the wrestle with Alexis, and then raised the broad-bladed sword in his hand, ready to use the trampling of the war horse and slash at Alexis with greater force.
It's just that in the face of such a terrifying and powerful attack method of this Silent Death Rider, the corners of Alexis's mouth were slightly raised, and his demeanor showed a strong look of disdain! (To be continued......)
