Chapter 134: The Undead Priest
When the clouds and fog dissipated, what appeared in front of everyone was an indescribable sight.
On the vast fertile field outside Meng'en City, there are countless white bones densely packed, almost completely surrounding the entire city on three levels and three levels outside!
When the coalition forces were attacked, the 100,000 skeleton soldiers were enough to make people frightened, but now the size of the undead army outside Meng'en City is at least six or seven times that of when they attacked them.
Right in the center of this vast expanse of undead creatures stood a pale spire. Its scale was so huge that it was like a mountain made of bones!
The gray-white aura of the dead flowed and puffed around the spire, like clouds and fog. At first glance, the terrifying energy contained in it made even Raven a little scared.
Judra's body suddenly trembled, pointing to the sky and shouting:
"That is...what!?"
This immediately attracted Viscount John and Raven's attention, turned their heads to look, and saw a gray-blue figure bringing a thick gray air across the sky.
The tail as thick as a rafter and the tip like a shovel; the four fingers are thick and sharp as the claws of a giant siege crossbow; the wings spread out to cover the sky and the sun, with a rotten wing membrane; wrapped The clouds of gray-white smoke resembled the chest at the bottom of the ship.
Every joint was burning with blue will-o'-the-wisps.
On the neck bone of a giant snake is a head as big as a house. On the top of the head are two huge straight horns. The left one is slightly missing, but it does not weaken its majesty at all. The deep pupils There are two groups of blue soul fire burning in it, and the mouth is as cold as an ancient giant crocodile!
"Bone dragon!?" Judra's voice was distorted.
The giant dragon is the most powerful creature in legend on the Middles continent. It once ruled the entire continent for tens of thousands of years. Every adult dragon can reach at least the ninth level!
Even though they all know that this skull dragon cannot completely maintain its power in life, even if it is only 1%, it is by no means an existence that can be easily dealt with!
The bone dragon streaked across the sky and suddenly swooped towards the east, where an army was entangled with the surrounding undead soldiers.
The purple lightning fighting spirit danced with brilliance, washing away the bones one after another.
"It's Viscount Fisher!" Judra called out the man's identity.
The bone dragon pounced down in the air and flew close to the ground. Just when it was about to approach, it suddenly opened its huge mouth full of fangs, and death-white undead fire roared out.
At this distance, even Raven couldn't see the details clearly, let alone hear the sound, but after a breath, both the undead and the living people had lost their movement.
Even the purple electric light that was struggling to shine has disappeared, as if it had never existed.
"Dead...?" Cold sweat broke out on Judra's forehead: "Viscount Fisher... is the third level!"
The third level of extraordinary, just so silent The ground died under the dragon's breath, without even a splash of water.
Viscount John was silent, but judging from the beard that was pulled out from the gap in his gauntlet, his mood was obviously not calm.
Lei Wen began to warn himself again - I am just here to make soy sauce!
The bone dragon flapped its wings and soared high, flew to the top of the spire and landed, raising its head to the sky and neighing!
"Ang——"
The sound vibrated, and the breath from the high-ranking undead caused a small chaos among the undead creatures around the spire unconsciously.
The specific manifestation is that the bones of a first-level skeleton in the spire suddenly disintegrated, and the green soul fire floated out and was absorbed by the white bone spire.
Inside the spire is a towering dome, and under the dome is a disk-shaped space. There is a black emblem placed on the high platform in the center, and three skeletal thrones are arranged in a triangle shape around it.
The "Dead Priest of the Dead" of the Order of the Hand of Death and the fifth-level necromancer "Sacheni" sits on the throne in the center. He wears a black robe and a bone crown inlaid with gold. His skin is withered and gray, and his eye sockets Deeply sunken, the face is full of wrinkles, and the lips can hardly be seen, there is only a gap that keeps opening and closing:
"Fediran, you have served the Order for many years, and the Order has been able to develop to this day in the province of Nord. This situation, You deserve great credit."
"But why did you waste a huge amount of undead power this time with one hundred thousand of my lord's servants, but failed to achieve any decent results?"
"Could it be that this so-called 'good situation' has gone to your head?"
Fedilan is the necromancer who led the army to besiege the coalition forces of the five northwest counties. Now he is kneeling on one knee. Kneel on the ground.
Sacheni's words were not serious, but they made Feidilan very nervous when he heard them.
Even though he is also a fourth-level necromancer, only one step away from the fifth-level, the difference between the fifth-level and the fourth-level is far greater than the difference between the fourth-level and the first-level.
At the fifth level, extraordinary people can add the word "big" in front of their profession, such as great knight, great priest, or great magician.
What's more, Sachni is not only a great magician, but also the highest commander of the Death Hand Order in the Nord Province.
Fedilan must explain this.
"Your Excellency, the chief priest, the root cause of this failure is that I really overestimated the nobles of the Nord province!"
"The coalition of the five northwest counties is huge, with a total of 20,000 troops, and there are also Former war hero 'Hammer' Morgan is the manager, so I want to be safe, so I mobilized 100,000 servants and rushed forward."
"In order to deal with Morgan, I prepared three fourth-level magics, and I was even prepared to ask Lord Gregory to take action if the war went unfavorably! ! "Gregory is the name of the skull dragon at the top of the spire.
"But I never thought that that Morgan had no power, and his soul was not even as powerful as an ordinary soldier! You, like me, are all in the process of receiving grace. Having been rooted in the province for many years, you should be able to understand my helplessness!”
Sachny did understand, and he did not expect that the dignified Viscount Morgan was actually weaker than an ordinary mortal: "Although Morgan is nothing, there is a fourth-level Viscount John in Xuefeng County among the five northwest counties."
“Why didn’t you keep him?”
Fedilan shuddered and lowered his head: “Your Excellency, the priest, I have never been negligent in the slightest, even if I focused on Morgan. I will also put it on my body Bori sent over and dispatched five epidemic-stricken giants one after another, which should have been absolutely foolproof!"
"Unfortunately, the nobles from Xuefeng County are so elite and powerful that they failed at the last moment! rescue "John!"
"Especially the Baron named Raven, he and his men alone defeated the two plague giants, and entering and exiting the undead army was like eating and drinking water!"
"Then I sent fifty-four undead cavalry to pursue them, and all of them were wiped out!"
"In my opinion, the most elite soldiers in the entire Nord province are the soldiers from Xuefeng County, and among them, they are Viscount John and Baron Raven are the most tyrannical!”
Having said this, Federan actually blushed a little, but there was no way, he couldn’t let him take all the blame, right?
Do you really want him to admit that he doesn't know how to command a large corps in battle?
Unexpectedly, Sacheni actually accepted this statement: "Oh, it turns out to be him, so it's not surprising..."
Feidilan was a little curious: "Does the officiant know Raven?"
"I've heard a little bit." Sacheni said: "A few months ago, he held a so-called 'press conference'. Hyde from the Slater family and Gul'dan from the Fox family were both present. "
"At that time, I thought this was just the tip of the iceberg of corruption among the imperial nobles. Thinking about it now, I am afraid that Slater and Fox had already seen Raven's value and actively sought to win over him. ”
Value? Winning over?
Fedi Lan felt a little strange.
There are only thirty people under Raven. Although there is a second level, it is not to this extent, right?
But since Sacheni took the initiative to give an explanation, Feidilan will not correct it - just take it seriously, and don't take my failure seriously.
At this moment, the door of the minaret opened, and someone walked in with crisp footsteps.
Originally, the smell in the room was that of corruption with a hint of coldness, but when this figure walked in, a touching lavender fragrance suddenly filled the air, making Federico feel refreshed.
The figure walked up to Sacheni and bowed and saluted: "Your Excellency, the officiant."
"Sit down." Sacheni waved his sleeves, and the woman and Fedilan sat on the two bone thrones on the left and right respectively.
Taking off the hood, the woman's face was revealed. She had long silky silver-white hair, amber eyes with a hint of purple, and a delicate and pretty face.
This person is the "Soul Saint" of the Order of the Hand of Death in Nord Province, Pali Hill, a third-level necromancer.
Sachenni asked: "How is the situation?"
"Reporting to the officiant, I have just received the confirmed news." Parisiel's voice was clear and cold, like a winter day Cold Wind: “The Fox family leads The coalition forces have been assembled and set off. There are three legions with a total of 17,000 people. They will arrive at Meng'en City in at least twenty days. The false bishop Thomas of the Church of Light and a group of false priests are in their ranks. .”
The voice echoed in the room, making Fedilan feel a little heavy: "...They still moved."
"Four months have passed since the sect launched the jihad." Sacheni was not convinced by this. No surprise:
“In addition to the Keynesian empire where we are now, including All human forces, including the Insa Empire, the Feton City-States, the Kingdom of Lozeron, and the Kingdom of Bodomich, have brothers and sisters like us fighting hard.”
If this sentence reaches everyone outside. It will definitely cause an uproar in the ears of the nobles, and it will most likely change their original plans.
The turmoil in Nord province is completely different from the turmoil in the five major human races and across the entire continent.
Sachny's focus still fell on the province of Nord: "If we don't take any action, we will attract the attention of Keynes XVI and mobilize troops from the neighboring provinces. Governor of Montreal, Khiva and Fox will probably be blamed." "The charge of unfavorable governance."
Feidilan asked: "Then...Master Priest, what should we do?" After being cleaned out by us, it will be difficult to collect enough and powerful souls even if we take the initiative. There is no need to take the initiative to gather all the people back."
"When the collection is completed, Nord Province. It’s time for the nobles arriving from various counties to gather together. When the time comes... we will attack with our entire army and catch them all in one fell swoop!"
