The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0023 The first battle of the cemetery against the undead

1 hour later, there is news.

The two soldiers who went back to report were attacked by the enemy halfway. When the flapping bats swooped down from the dark tree behind the soldiers, it was too late for the two of them to turn around, and the two short screams stopped abruptly. After the two bats lay down on the soldier's corpse, black smoke flashed, and they turned into two vampires in black trench coats and blood-colored dresses. They grabbed the soldier's corpse and went straight to a certain place.

The lickers following the soldiers did not interfere with the hunting of the two vampires, until they returned with their prey, they bounced gently among the trees and tracked them, and the 15 lickers lurking near the distant stronghold immediately made a movement In addition to leaving one to continue vigilance, the other 14 quickly moved in the direction of the vampire's advance, forming a faint encirclement net.

The swift-moving vampire and the equally swift-moving licker ran swiftly in the dense forest, fast but silent, like ghosts.

In a remote cave 3 miles away from the stronghold tower, three necromancers were whispering around a bonfire. The same black robes and hoods and the same bone scepter marked the identities of the three.

Garda, the necromancer, waved his bone staff angrily and cursed: "Too weak! Unforgivably weak! Now that Novus has sharpened his sword, why can't we let go of our hands and feet? Sneak attack, sneak attack, they It will only let us sneak attack, and only allow us to bring such a few subordinates, what can we do?"

"Okay, okay, Garda, do you have any objections to the Undead Council? Do you have any objections to your Excellencies?" Necromancer Merkel reprimanded:

"Of course I have no objection to your Excellencies, but the war is about to start, are you still so divided?" Garda quickly explained: "Since we are asked to cross the Avery Mountain to sneak attack Novis, why are we not allowed to take All the subordinates are allowed to bring only 3 vampires?"

Hurley, the necromancer who has remained silent, sighed: "Because the joint council is still assessing the impact of Novus's participation in the war. We can't fight on both sides. We need to warn Novus about the fate of angering the necromancer, but they can't provoke them. Everything joined the war, so the union council only sent 7 teams, each team strictly limited the number of high-level undead, and we were not allowed to leave Avery Mountain too far. The union council probably just wanted to scare Novi S!"

Garda bowed his head and remained silent. He and Merkel were only level 4 necromancers, but Hurley was already a level 6 necromancer. This team was dominated by mid-level mage Hurley. When Hurley gave the order, He also obeys unconditionally.

Hurley saw that the will of the two of them was a little depressed, so he could only explain: "Since we have accepted the task of the joint council, we can only do it. If there is no need for us to consider, we should stop discussing it! Let's keep an eye on this stronghold and put all The Novus soldiers who came to this stronghold became our servants, and then fought a small-scale battle with them. Time is always on our side. Garda, the 2 vampires sent out should come back, right? Merkel , Let your team get ready, attack in a while, and keep those who came today."

Merkel nodded: "Those corpses have already been dealt with. I will wake them up before the attack. The people who came today were very vigilant. They actually burned all the materials left in the tower in advance. It's a pity for those arrangements. "

Garda interjected: "Remember, there is a mage in their team, and we will kill him first, otherwise the material will be lost too much. You have also seen that strange creature in the afternoon, it is definitely not something that should exist in Avery Mountain , looks like a mutant ghoul! Are there other necromancers near us?"

The three of them had just finished discussing when they sensed the approach of the vampire. Hurley stood up and said hello: "Let's go, the time is almost up, it's time to get rid of those poor people who sent the dead!"

After exiting the cave, Merkel went around to a forest on the side, and the corpses brought from the stronghold were transformed into zombies and buried here waiting to be awakened. Hurley and Garda stood at the entrance of the cave, watching the vampire approach with the two corpses, while discussing the upcoming battle.

Suddenly, Master Hurley sensed something, turned his head and rushed to Merkel, who was walking towards the edge of the woods, and shouted: "Be careful, come back!"

Before the words fell, black shadows flickered in the woods in front of Merkel, and several sturdy figures jumped into the air in the night, pounced on Merkel who stood stunned.

Merkel staggered and rolled backwards, and immediately activated the pre-stored spell "Mage Armor" on the staff at her fastest speed. Before she could stop, the Mage Armor shook violently and was about to shatter. Merkel didn't have time to recite the spell, so she pulled the bone-tooth necklace off her neck and smashed it down hard. With a muffled bang, a strong wave of negative energy exploded, forming a violent shock wave that washed away within a range of 10 meters. All living matter within the range quickly withered under the scouring of negative energy. It was simply a small death withering. , it's a pity that he himself is also within the scope of scouring. Excessively strong negative energy is also a burden to necromancers. After all, they just adapt to negative energy, rather than love negative energy. The mage's shield was shattered, and Merkel's soul fire was washed away and trembled for a while. Just as he stabilized his soul, he saw two bloody bites viciously. When her eyes went dark, Merkel only had time to scream "undead creature" in her heart before losing her life.

Hurley and Garda looked at everything in front of them in horror. In less than 7 seconds, a companion died tragically in front of them. What was it that killed him? By the way, I have seen that ghoul-like creature that appeared in the stronghold in the afternoon, but it was no longer one, but four, swarming up, and Merkel was torn to pieces at such a fast speed that Merkel had no time to react.

Garda cursed, and planned to command the vampire who had just arrived to attack. Hurley grabbed him and shouted: "Defend with all your strength, they are also undead creatures, don't use necromancy, there are more behind!"

Just when the two recruited the vampire to defend with all their strength, and armored themselves like a hurricane, another 11 lickers sprinted at them with all their strength on the way from the vampire's arrival!

Hurley screamed, and threw the "Stay Necromancer" into the rushing team of lickers. The lickers turned over on their backs in a row, and six of them fell one after another. The Necromancer bought time. Garda's "fireball" fell to the 6 lickers rolling together, bursting into scorching flames, instantly killing 1 and seriously injuring 3 lickers.

The vampires on the heads of the two necromancers reverted to human form, rushed up and entangled the 4 lickers who had just killed Merkel. Both sides were undead creatures, which saved a lot of unnecessary movements to block and parry. Biting and scratching, every moment, both sides are creating wounds. The vampire's movements are obviously more flexible, although it is 2 vs 4, it still suppresses the licker and cannot move forward.

Since the lickers had the support of Li Xun's soul connection, the hold of the dead couldn't continue, and soon the two necromancers fell into the siege of 8 lickers. 8 intact lickers were scattered around the mage and took turns to attack, and 3 severely injured ones were scattered outside and waited for an opportunity. Whenever a mage wanted to attack with a spell, a licker would rush straight in front of his eyes and cover it with his body. In his sight, he tried to exchange the casualties of one licker for the full attack of the remaining lickers.

"Someone directs them." Hurley was the first to discover the problem. He, who has been concocting undead creatures all year round, knows very well that such undead creatures do not have a high IQ, and most of them still rely on instinct. It is absolutely impossible for them to have a clear division of labor and discipline orderly.

Garda's shield had already been broken, and he managed to escape the two lickers under the cover of Hurley. He used the "Arrow of Life" to push back the one who attacked Hurley. He panicked and screamed, "Hurry up!" Summon your vampire!"

Hurley was speechless for a while. If he could do it, he would have done it a long time ago. Opening his soul space to summon the undead creature with him takes nearly 5 seconds of casting the spell. Depending on the current situation, Garda doesn't even have a shield , who can fight for this long 5 seconds for himself? Being able to say such words, it seems that Garda has lost his composure, and staying with him would be better than trying to break through by himself.

Time is running out, so do what you think, after Hurley yelled "run separately", he rushed to the direction with the fewest lickers, and he didn't hesitate to use the "fireball ring" in his hand to open the way with 3 fireballs, bursting continuously , blowing up the 4 lickers who were blocking the way, and rushed outward. After only running 10 meters, I heard Garda's screams. I felt a shudder and stopped slowly. The road in front of me was three lickers who were severely injured at the beginning. Although most of their bodies were burnt black, they were still stable. Stop in front of yourself.

Hurley shouted in despair: "Who are you? I am a member of the Undead Council, how do you..."

Before he could finish speaking, his neck hurt, and his head had already been bitten off by the licker.

Li Xun looked at the battlefield through the soul connection, 4 lickers died, 7 were seriously injured and 4 were slightly injured, which was still within the acceptable range. The licker searched the necromancer's body and the cave, collected all the spoils that could be taken away, and brought them back. Then he rubbed his forehead and slowly regained his consciousness.

It’s the first time to directly use the soul link to command the battle. It feels very fresh and strange, but the burden is not small, especially when the soul link is used to help the licker to resist the "dead hold technique", the head hurts. There are more and more subordinate creatures, and such a precise command of combat requires a strong spiritual support. It seems that the attribute points of the next few levels must be focused on the spirit.

With a smile, Li Xun could finally fall asleep peacefully.
