Sigh that the forest is originally a dark and humid place. Although the air here is not too muddy, it still gives people an uncomfortable feeling. Especially in some terrain, it looks like a normal terrain, but if you accidentally step on it, you will find that it is actually a corrupt Wetland - a special terrain eroded by a large number of undead magic. It has the characteristics of swamp wetland and quicksand terrain. Once you fall into this terrain, the more you struggle, the faster you will fall, Finally, it was completely swallowed by the wetland. The wetland will also absorb the breath and power of the living, and then give birth to a new skeleton or dark knight or other undead creatures.
The rash Melly almost fell into such a trap - fortunately, she escaped smoothly with the help of other sisters.
At this point, the mercenary team no longer dare to advance too rashly.
However, at this time, the forest has a smell that is more unbearable than the moist moisture.
It was a very strong smell of blood and decay.
Cecilia and angel stared at the mess in front of them. On the other side, TiNi hurried past each corpse - at first, she would squat down to check the corpse, but it took a long time. However, after carefully checking four or five corpses, she just squatted down to check it slightly and got up. When the number increased to ten, TiNi was lazy to squat down, just turned over the corpse with a sword and glanced at it.
The examination didn't take long, but it wasn't slow. After Tina swept all the bodies, it had been more than ten minutes.
The reason why Cecilia, angel and Tina stay here to check the bodies instead of chasing Rena and them is that these bodies are the Agkistrodon soldiers who chase Rena and others.
The corpses of more than 100 soldiers were thrown to the ground like torn rags at the moment - the residual limbs and internal organs outlined a bloody ferocious picture on the gray earth. It seems that these soldiers experienced not a war, but a slaughter, but they were the slaughtered party, and from the signs on the scene, if they did not know that these people were soldiers of the Agkistrodon halys army, and fresh traces could be seen in those viscera, I'm afraid anyone who sees this tragic scene in front of him will think that this is a massacre that took place decades ago.
Because of the armor and weapons worn by these Agkistrodon halys soldiers, the iron parts have been covered with a layer of rust, and the leather parts have been rolled and broken. In particular, more than half of the mutilated corpses have completely lost their moisture, become dry and full of wrinkles, and there are obvious grayish brown and pale colors on the fracture of the corpse.
"It's the death knight of the abyss." Tina breathed out a long breath, and her face was really not good-looking.
"How did this powerful undead appear here?" Cecilia had some guesses in her heart, but her understanding of the dead creatures was really not as good as that of TiNi, who was born in the temple. At this time, after hearing TiNi's conclusion, Cecilia's face naturally became very ugly, "sigh, the concentration in the forest is not strong enough. This is at most the edge of the black earth, There can be no such a high level of undead. "
"Judging from the footprints on the ground, I'm afraid there's more than one abyss death knight you said." As an excellent commander and commander, angel naturally has some unique skills that only belong to her, which is one of the reasons why she can obtain the name of female martial god, but Cecilia did not list female martial god. "The number is about five to eight horses... Although I don't know what you call this high-level undead creature, But I can see the horror of these undead creatures. In the first round of charge launched from the side, at least 30 Agkistrodon halys fell on the spot. "
While explaining, angel also reached out and pointed to the battlefield position on the right, and then with a wave of her hand, she drew a trace across the whole battlefield from right to left. On this trace line, there were more than 30 bodies falling sideways. This sign fully shows that the opponent's raid came so fast and sudden that all the soldiers were killed before they reacted, and the neat hoof marks on the ground also showed that it was a charge.
"Abyss death knight... What is it?" Asked angel in a deep voice.
"That's... A very evil undead." Cecilia explained, "we all know that necromancers are good at changing and creating necromancers, and the greatest achievement is the fear knight. After absorbing enough undead power, these terrible undead creatures can evolve into destruction knights and even higher immortal knights, but... "
"I know that. All unnatural undead creatures have a growth limit. The undead knight is the growth limit of this kind of synthetic undead creatures. " Angel answered. After all, there is the largest black land in the Millennium covenant Empire, which is now known as the land of order. Therefore, some research has been done on the data of the dead, but unlike magicians or scholars, they will study the whole huge family tree system of the dead. "I remember that the undead knight is a tenth order undead creature, although the rank is equivalent to the middle Holy Land strong, However, it's just in terms of physical fitness. Because these undead creatures lack the ability in the field, in fact, the strong ones in the lower holy land can generally defeat these undead creatures if they are not careless. "
"Indeed." Cecilia nodded, "it is precisely because of this that those necromancers have been seeking to break through this shackle The abyss death knight is the representative product of breaking through this shackle. They take the undead knight as the main material, and then forcibly implant the purified blood of the middle demon. As long as the undead knight can survive this painful change, they will become abyss death knights. The level is... Level 11. They have preliminarily mastered the ability in the field and have a certain self-awareness, Compared with the general upper holy land, the strong are not inferior. "
"This......" angel's face finally changed.
Five to eight high-level undead creatures with the strength of the powerful in the upper holy land bring no less pressure than they faced rattlesnake UBA before.
"And the most terrible thing is that these undead creatures have opened the way to continue to grow. They can even be promoted to the 12th level death knight through continuous killing and absorbing the power of the living." Tina continued after taking the words. Of course, this is not good news. "The silent death knight with legendary combat power has basically got rid of the weaknesses used by the dead. The holy light and flame can't cause a lot of damage to it. On the contrary, they have pale flame protection and immortality, which can be said to be the nightmare of many legendary strong men."
"Can only... Break the core?" Angel is obviously not the first time to deal with powerful undead, so she has a keen grasp of the key to the problem.
Tina didn't answer, but nodded, but the haze on her face persisted.
And this atmosphere of fear is infecting the people around. At least Cecilia and angel look very ugly.
"We'd better hurry on the road." Cecilia said in a deep voice, "the abyss death knights have extreme hatred for life, and they sense that the range of life fluctuation is wider than that of ordinary undead creatures. Maybe they have caught the trace of Rena's existence, and we should rush to support them immediately."
"You're right." Angel nodded.
Therefore, the three people immediately started on their way, and this time their speed began to increase significantly.
Angel and Tina are both warrior systems. The outbreak of fighting in their bodies allows them to travel faster without feeling tired. But Cecilia can't. as a magician, she is not very good at physical activity, but she also has her own way - the wings condensed by Solomon's 72 heavy flames, which just solves the problem of Cecilia's insufficient movement speed.
Because they were worried that the abyss death knight had attacked Rena and others, Cecilia and others had no reservation on their way this time and moved forward at the fastest speed. Although it is known that the combat effectiveness of up to eight abyss death knights cannot threaten Ruina wearing Michael suit, ruilista and others who follow Ruina are not sure. After all, they have not even reached the realm of the next Holy Land.
However, when Cecilia and others smoothly meet Rena, all this proves that Cecilia and others' concerns are completely superfluous.
Rena, rilesta and others are still alive, and they don't look like they have been attacked at all. Even a battle has never happened - they always surround the bones of rilesta and others, but they don't appear once. So that when Cecilia and others came, Rena also put on a wary posture and faced directly behind Cecilia and others.
Because in Rena's opinion, there must be some difficult enemy who can force Cecilia and others to look so anxious.
Of course, it soon proved that all this was just a meaningless worry - about ten minutes after the two sides met, kokirei returned to Cecilia and others with the bone fragment given to him by Rick.
After Cecilia took the bone fragment, she understood why their actions after entering the forest were not difficult, why the Agkistrodon halys soldiers who pursued Rena and others were attacked by the abyss death horse, and why Rena and others did not encounter the attack of bone frame along the way. Of course, more importantly, Rena already knows who controls this sigh forest and the black land deeper into the region.
After Rick separated from Sean and others at the ruins of the mermaid Empire, he chose this black land as his healing and recuperation place. Of course, as a lich king, it is impossible for Rick not to be excited when he sees so many dead in the black land, so he only spent a very short period of time, I'm afraid less than a year, and completely mastered the whole black land and the sigh forest.
It can be said that this land is his domain, and all the undead on this land are his eyeliner. Anyone who enters here can't hide his perception and exploration, and his army of dead is growing in this situation - many pioneers guild members who go deep into the black land have been made into abyss death knights by him - of course, the success power can't be much higher.
However, Cecilia will never underestimate the undead Legion controlled by Rick.
In the countless years since the birth of the skeleton plane to the present, a total of seven Lich Kings exist. In order to identify the seven witches, they naturally have their own unique titles. Like Saud, his title is "uncrowned king", because he is the strongest of the seven witches.
Rick, on the other hand, is called "the scourge of the dead".
Because he has the most and most elite dead soldiers among the seven witches, more than half of the recorded invasions against other planes were made by the Lich King Rick, who is known as the "scourge of the dead". Of course, in different plane worlds, there are different names for this invasion, such as "the scourge of the dead", "the tide of corpses", "the invasion of bones", "the scourge of immortality" and so on. Over time, the emergence of Lake symbolizes the invasion of the plane of bones, which is an extremely desperate and terrible disaster for many people.
This is the name of the scourge of the dead.
If the undead gathered here could destroy a Kingdom between the third rate and the second rate if there was a riot before Rick moved into the black land, the undead army in the black land has been able to easily conquer a top-notch first-class kingdom in the past two years since Rick became the master of the black land. Even the super first-class kingdom can't stop Rick's army of undead if it forcibly attacks regardless of losses.
And there is a terrible problem with the invasion of the dead. That is, once a kingdom is conquered, the army of the dead will only become stronger and will not be consumed.
But at the moment, Cecilia did not pay any attention to the ostentatious contents recorded by Rick in this bone piece.
What she really cares about is the conspicuous mark on the bone and the strength of the members of the operation force responsible for escorting Leiss.
According to the information records of the old Lich lake, there are two legendary strong men who are very good at fighting in the escort force, because they have killed at least ten abyss death knights under Lake's command. Only the sacrifice of the death knight of the abyss can make Rick feel a little distressed. In addition, although there are not a few other high-level undead creatures killed by them, at least Rick doesn't care at all, just a slight reminder.
But they certainly have to pay a heavy price.
According to Lake, the escort team had nearly 500 people at the beginning. It can be called outstanding in terms of scale, equipment and quality. Although Lake doesn't know the identification method of the Legion level, Cecilia still believes that the force that has formed a strong combat unit definitely has the strength close to the level 7 legion, which is a level that even the middle Holy Land strong dare not provoke at will.
But now, the remaining strength of this force is less than 30, which is naturally no threat to Cecilia and others. However, after such a cruel and tragic battle, the 30 people who survived may have grown to a relatively terrible level of combat effectiveness. At least rilista and others can no longer play any role in this battle.
It can even be said that if it wasn't for Rena and kokirei, I'm afraid Cecilia and others could not save leice even if they knew the strength of the other party. After all, the gap between the combat power level of the two sides is too big.
"What on earth is it that needs such a strong escort to escort leice?"
Cecilia frowned. She had announced the information recorded by Rick to others, which naturally aroused the high attention and curiosity of others.
At least angel was like this: "I'm afraid it's not an escort, but a secret transfer I think the noble lady named leice is probably involved in some secret imperial plan that can't be known to outsiders. "
