Ever since he entered the dark sky, Xu Lai has been constantly blocked.
Our line of sight is blocked, and even with timely reminders from the rangers, we still have no way to defend ourselves.
The skeleton archers who did not appear yesterday are appearing in piles today as if they were free of charge.
The densely packed white bone bows and arrows hit the knight's thick plate armor, making constant jingling sounds.
These skeleton archers are all blessed by the undead lich Modo, and as Modo is a specialized corpse witch, ultimate archery is simply a necessary skill.
But even with the blessing of ultimate archery, the level of these skeleton archers is too low, and it is impossible to break through the defense of the eighth-level knights.
As long as the knights move forward and push straight past, these skeleton archers will have no ability to parry.
Even without the knight taking action, just a heavily armored war horse can crush several skeletons.
In addition to the skeleton archers, a large number of ghosts also appeared.
These guys don't take physical attacks. It would be more troublesome if Xu Lai only brought knights.
Fortunately for the Holy Light Knights, they can at least punish these ghosts.
Of course, Xu Lai has a better solution, which is to dispatch Seraph.
Once the sacred flames of the Seraphs are turned on, even the black mist filling the air must be kept at a distance.
A level 5 ghost, let alone being slashed by Seraph, would only be instantly turned into ashes if it was touched or brushed.
Not to mention vampires, unless the legendary vampire emperor appeared, Xu Lai wouldn't even have to raise his eyebrows.
Even if the vampire duke is here, he can barely bite the heavily armored Holy Light Knight.
As soon as the Knights of Holy Light activated their Holy Shield, they launched an invincible counterattack, and no matter how many vampire dukes they had, they couldn't draw any blood.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't activate the Holy Shield technique. After all, with the blessing of Xu Lai's upgraded offensive technique, even without the charge bonus, one strike from the Holy Light Knights is enough for the Vampire Duke.
On the other hand, the vampire duke, with the dual support of heroes and generals, could only barely break through his defenses.
It would take who knows how many years to absorb the health points back with that little damage.
The only thing that posed any threat to Xu Lai was the death cloud of the Corpse Witch Kings.
Under the cover of the dark sky, the cloud of death fell above their heads, making it difficult to detect.
Moreover, the Death Cloud is a group attack spell, and there are also a large number of Corpse Witch Kings. With the blessing of Modo, the damage is not low.
Xu Lai's resistance to magic damage is relatively low, especially after purchasing anti-magic treasures.
Wanting to continue walking through the forest, Xu Lai had no choice but to take the lead in releasing the spell.
Xu Lai's master-level earth spells, after releasing the anti-magic spell, can prevent his troops from being affected by any spells except level 5.
The level of the Death Cloud is not low, and its releaser is the 7th level Corpse Witch King, but unfortunately it is not yet at the 5th level.
At this time, if the immortal lich hiding in the dark wants to stop Xu Lai, he can only use the same spell to dispel the anti-magic magic.
Unfortunately, Xu Lai waited for a long time and did not see any undead heroes.
It's okay to say that Modo was afraid of death and didn't dare to show up. He was not even willing to let one of his ordinary heroes out.
The only thing Xu Lai needs to know is the specific location of the undead hero.
Once Xu Lai knows the location of the heroes, Elvi will directly lead the angel army to raid there.
A bunch of the strongest seraphs with the blessing of powerful heroes, even if Sandro comes in person, they have absolutely no confidence in immortality.
Even though there must be many powerful undead around Sandro and Modo, even the ninth-level bone dragon cannot stop Seraph.
Sandro and Modo are both lichs, and both have phylacteries, so death may not be a complete death.
But their bodies will not go back with them, and none of the equipment they worked so hard to collect will be retained.
In addition, the more powerful the individual, the more difficult it is to be resurrected.
The dragon lich that Xu Lai killed before was definitely a very powerful lich. There is still no news about his death.
And even if it can be resurrected, it will be unknown how long it will take, and no one knows what the situation will be like at that time.
Moreover, the newly resurrected Lich is not only physically fragile, but also needs a long accumulation process to recover.
Modo is never willing to take risks, but not sending out his heroes is not because he is stingy and reluctant, but because he has no one to use.
As an undead, Modo would not have any thoughts of feeling sorry for his subordinates. He was just not trusted by Sandru and would not give him any help at all.
Under the protection of the anti-magic magic, the Death Cloud can no longer cause harm, and can no longer stop Xu Lai's army.
In Modo's hands, the only remaining troops that can be seen are a black warrior army that exists to protect him.
If this is an army of fearful knights, or if the requirements are lowered a bit, it is an army of fearful knights, Modo would want to give it a try.
But a group of black warriors don't even have mounts. What use can they do to deliver food?
It can be said that as long as Modo himself is unwilling to take action, no one in the entire undead army can stop Xu Lai.
Modo could only let Xu Lai find the dark sky device and lead the knights to destroy it.
To cover this forest, the undead would naturally require more than one dark canopy device.
However, after destroying a dark sky, it is enough to prevent the undead's black curtain from taking shape.
Under the sunlight, the surroundings suddenly became brighter, and large areas of the undead that were originally hidden in the darkness were directly exposed to the sunlight.
"Kill!"
Xu Lai pointed his long sword high, the power of holy prayer came, and the Seraph pounced on the undead like lightning.
The rangers who were originally sneaking also revealed their figures.
They did not choose the usual long-range method, but directly used the elf stabbing sword to kill the undead at close range.
For the elves, shooting these undead souls from a distance is really unbearable.
It's a pity that ordinary undead have no thoughts of their own, and they don't give the elves much pleasure in revenge.
There were not many undead exposed to the sun. After determining that there was no way to stop Xu Lai, Modo consciously tightened his defense line.
However, the number of undead was too great, and Sandro did not leave many manpower for Modo.
Fortunately, they are all undead with not high levels. Even if some of them die, there is really nothing to feel bad about.
After cleaning up these undead, Xu Lai ran non-stop towards the second dark sky.
Under Modo's control, the undead still did not have direct contact with Xu Lai.
Basically, wherever Xu Lai went, the undead took the initiative to avoid them. If they couldn't avoid them or it was too late, they would simply die.
When the third dark canopy was destroyed, a group of vampires instantly became weak under the sunlight. The originally extremely fast vampire was unable to evacuate in time under the influence of sunlight, and was surrounded by a group of seraphs.
The level of this group of vampires is very high, probably because Modo failed to notify them in time, otherwise they would not be suddenly exposed to the sun.
A group of counts formed the base, with hundreds of vampire marquises and several vampire dukes. They were surrounded by less than one-tenth of their own number of angels.
The vampires are no match for this group of seraphs, especially since these seraphs are blessed with war statues and god-level offensive techniques.
What's more, they were exposed to the sun, and even the Vampire Duke's all attributes were reduced by at least 20%.
If you use less to defeat more, you won't be able to defeat them, and even escape will be difficult.
High-level vampires have always been famous for being difficult to kill. In addition to being able to restore life by sucking blood, they can also be resurrected by blood after death.
In addition, high-level vampires can also transform into small bats.
They can turn into as many little bats as they have health points. As long as one escapes, they can be resurrected based on this.
Of course, after transforming into a little bat, the powerful defense originally belonging to the Vampire Duke will no longer exist, and any damage can kill a bat.
The vampire duke's health is not low. Even the recruited vampire duke can transform into hundreds of bats.
The most powerful one instantly transformed into thousands of bats.
Obviously, this vampire duke has a life limit of several thousand points due to the superposition of equipment.
No matter how fast the Seraphs were, they couldn't stop such a group of vampires running in all directions.
Their flaming swords were able to sweep away a large area, but after all, they couldn't stop all the bats.
This was just one vampire duke, plus the vampires and other vampire dukes who were surrounded, there were tens of thousands of vampires and bats.
The Vampire Duke was a big fish, and Xu Lai was surrounded by several such big fish at once.
Neither Xu Lai nor Elwey were willing to let go of this group of big fish.
Xu Lai immediately looked for his magic scroll. Because he had to maintain the anti-magic spell, he could only use the magic scroll if he wanted to cast spells again.
With his reserves, there are many large-scale spells, but if he can cover them all, he can't find even a blind spot.
Fortunately, Elvi's mind was very clear. Under her command, ten Seraphs in all directions and at the most peripheral positions broke out collectively.
As Seraphim recruits, they don't have many spells at their disposal.
In addition to the most famous resurrection, the Holy Flame and the Blade of Judgment are also used relatively frequently.
There is a spell that has been ignored because it is basically never necessary to use this spell.
The Great Light Spell consumes the whole body's strength, provides a sacred shield to all friendly personnel on the battlefield except itself, and activates an undead killer spell.
After use, Seraph's physical strength and health are exhausted, leaving only the last 1 point of physical strength and health.
This is a spell similar to the final insurance. After using it, it is quite dangerous for the Seraphs themselves.
Save only the last bit of your physical strength and life.
This means that once the treatment fails to keep up, any enemy's long-range attack is likely to directly kill a Seraph.
It doesn't matter that their life is almost exhausted. The most important thing is that there is only 1 point of physical strength left, which means that the Seraphs are almost completely unable to move.
If you can't move, you can only wait for others to rescue you. If you move a little slower, you may directly lose a Seraph.
However, Xu Lai has the absolute upper hand at this time. The vampire Duke, who has transformed into a little bat, will have his attack power reduced to only 1 point.
In this state, except for ordinary civilians who may break through the defenses, most soldiers have no fear.
Therefore, once they transform into little bats, it is enough to show that these vampire dukes have no intention of fighting.
The main function of the Great Light Spell is defense, and its by-product is an undead killer spell.
Elvi activated the Great Light Spell at this time for this by-product.
But she didn't choose to let the Seraphs burst out in a concentrated manner, but instead had them cast spells on different edges.
Even the undead killers released in a concentrated manner are not very powerful, let alone released separately.
But what Elvi needs is just as wide a range as possible, and the power is secondary.
Anyway, no matter how weak the power is, it won't be able to kill a little bat with only 1 point of defense and 1 point of life.
Once the little bats are transformed into little bats, after all the little bats are dead, the vampire duke himself will naturally have no way to survive.
The key is that such a dead vampire duke will not even leave his body, and naturally there will be no chance of resurrection.
The most important vampire duke is dead, and it doesn't matter if some of the remaining vampire counts and marquis escape.
After losing an important vampire force, Modo simply ordered a full retreat and completely gave up the siege of Shenmu City.
Anyway, if the troops continue to surround here, they will not gain any advantage. Instead, they will be defeated by Xu Lai one by one. It is better to simply withdraw.
In any case, even if you evacuate the vicinity of Shenmu City and give the elves a certain space to move, it is not a big deal.
Even if the elves go out to farm, how much food can be grown near a city?
What's more, after the elves go out, don't they need to worry about being attacked by the undead?
As for the probing and delaying tasks assigned to him by Sandro, he should be considered accomplished in the former, and since the human beings did not run away in the latter, it cannot be considered a failure.
Without Modo's interference, Xu Lai's actions to destroy the dark sky were even faster.
By evening, he had destroyed all eight dark canopies outside Shenmu City.
Many of the undead who were unable to escape were also killed.
Because Xu Lai's actions were too smooth, he also attracted many elves in Shenmu City.
Almost all of Trishley's subordinates came out.
As elves, the Ranger troops are one of the few teams that can make some gains, and their morale is always maintained at a few levels.
In addition, they originally performed similar tasks and had a certain degree of freedom of movement. Not even Elder Yin Mu could stop them.
Unfortunately, apart from these rangers, the rest of the elves did not dare to move. Perhaps it was because Yin Mu and others did not agree with the large group of elves venturing out.
However, Xu Lai's action of destroying the dark sky was undoubtedly a huge encouragement to the elves.
But at the same time, Xu Lai was so provocative that the undead would rather shrink away, and Sandro never showed up from the beginning to the end.
This undoubtedly made Xu Lai more sure that the undead king Sandro was definitely brewing some conspiracy. (End of chapter)
