Chapter 470: City of the Dead, Paladin’s Transformation Ceremony. (5600)
The scattered undead encountered along the way were all cut into pieces by them and solved in a short time.
Everyone followed them, and it could be said that there was no obstruction.
Soon, we arrived at the center of the ancient battlefield, which is the area of the passage.
Ahead, there is a cave entrance covered by snow.
There were dense footprints around the entrance of the cave.
It seems that many survivors have come to explore.
But... there are only footprints of those who went in, not those who came out.
The ending of these people is naturally self-evident.
Assam and Bronn have already walked over and cleared the passage.
A spacious passage was revealed, almost five or six meters high.
Cao Xing thought to himself: "Fortunately, this passage is big enough, otherwise not only Dabai would not be able to enter, but the newcomer in my territory, Qiao De Tielshuang, would also be unable to enter."
Glancing inside the passage, I saw a faint green light emitting from it.
Obviously, there are many undead in the passage.
So, Cao Xing said: "Assam, Bron, you go in first."
"As you command!"
After saying that, the two men rushed directly into the passage.
After a while, the angry roars of the undead and the sounds of fighting came from inside.
Cao Xing and others also entered quickly.
At a glance, I saw a large number of undead in the passage, and they were attacking Bronn and Assam crazily.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing thought to himself: "The last time I came here, there were not many undead in this passage, but this time there are so many."
"It seems that it won't be long before there will be There are more undead rushing out of the passage."
"When the time comes, I'm afraid my territory will be the first to be affected."
This also shows that his action this time is very timely. .
At the same time.
Assam and Bronn were fighting against the undead inside.
These undead have a strong desire to attack.
Cao Xing frowned slightly, because his initial plan was to discuss with these undead first, and then fight if the discussion was not successful.
As a result, these undead souls had no consciousness at all and were unable to communicate at all.
Now, we can only hope that there are undead in the ancient battlefield who can communicate.
If not, then the situation becomes a bit complicated.
He exhaled softly, and then said: "Let's do it, clear the passage first."
Hearing the order, all remote units launched attacks one after another.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
“Whoosh~ Whoosh!”
The archer legion shoots out arrows with the breath of nightmare!
There are also a large number of magic attacks such as ground thorns and wind blades.
A large number of undead heads appeared, each suffering over 10,000 damage!
With this group of melee units all equipped with holy water, the battle was basically overwhelming.
The undead in the passage fell in pieces, unable to stop their steps at all.
It took less than three minutes to clear all the undead in this passage.
Everyone quickly passed through this passage that was four to five hundred meters long.
At the end, a burst of green light appeared.
Cao Xing knew that these were coming from the massive undead inside.
So he reminded: "We are about to go in, so be ready."
After hearing this, everyone immediately became vigilant.
Behind him, Duke Palatine also greeted a large number of Ascalon undead and entered the passage.
Then, they walked directly through the passage, and the scene before them suddenly became clear.
The first thing that comes into view is an extremely open space, with an ancient city in front of it.
This city has become a ruin due to the baptism of war and time.
However, above this city full of ruins, there is an almost massive army of undead wandering!
They are so densely packed that they seem endless!
The undead aura on his body illuminates the entire underground space.
Overhead, there are undead giant eagles, griffons, and undead dragons flying one after another...
"Crash~!"
The undead army filling the sky was like a green ocean, surging like a tide with every movement they made.
Although this is not the first time I have seen it.
But when I saw it again, I couldn’t help but feel shocked!
Because, the number of undead here is really astonishing!
The last time he came here, after Cao Xing sensed the aura of the undead inside, he led the people away without hesitation.
This time, he didn't need to run away.
Took a little look.
The number of undead inside is at least 50,000 or 60,000.
However, this is only the peripheral situation. Deep in the ruined city, there are more and more powerful undead hidden!
Even Duke Palatine, who came to this city of the dead for the first time, couldn't help but be shocked.
"It's unimaginable that there is such a huge city of the undead near Lord Cao Xing's territory"
"No wonder you want to deal with them. If one day, so many undead escape at the same time, the consequences will be unimaginable! "
Cao Xing nodded, and then asked: "Your Excellency, do you know the origin of this group of undead? "
Now that the group of undead have not noticed them, they can do it first. Have a chat.
Hearing this, Duke Palatine looked thoughtful in his eyes.
"This group of undead seems to be much older than us...
Cao Xing replied: "Yes, this group of undead probably died more than 10,000 years ago. "
Hearing this time, Duke Palatine felt a little confused in his black pupils.
"More than ten thousand years ago... this time is a bit too far away. "
"The earliest recorded history of human civilization is only about 10,000 years old. ”
"According to the information I read in some ancient books, ten thousand years ago, the human race was still living a tribal life..."
And this also made Duke Palatine rise to a higher level. Lots of doubts.
After all, this magnificent city in front of you does not look like a so-called tribe.
Having the ability to build cities means that they are a powerful civilization!
Baladin wondered: "Did the history remember it wrong?"
"Human civilization already existed ten thousand years ago?"
At this moment, not only Paladin, but also Cao Xing on the side had a thoughtful look in his eyes.
It seems that the identities of these undead are really mysterious.
The history of human civilization is only about ten thousand years.
And they built such a magnificent city ten thousand years ago.
Moreover, who were they killed by?
Why do you still want to guard this city after death?
A lot of questions popped up.
Cao Xing took a deep breath.
No matter what it is, today he will unveil the mysterious veil of this city!
at the same time.
When Cao Xing's soldiers swarmed into this ancient city.
The sea of undead ahead seemed to have noticed them.
Suddenly, the miserable green undead flames on his body surged!
A burst of harsh sounds came.
"There is the breath of living people!"
"Damn guys are invading our city again, crush them!"
"Crash!"
The words are over , a large number of undead poured towards them.
Cao Xing frowned slightly.
Obviously, the situation in front of them shows that these undead souls are unable to communicate.
Cao Xing's idea of negotiating with these undead also came to nothing.
"I thought we could have a good discussion, but it seems it won't work."
So Cao Xing looked at the Duke next to him and asked.
"Your Excellency, what can you do in this situation?"
Duke Palatine shook his head, "No, these undead have completely lost their minds, just like a group of beasts that can only attack."
"If you want them to cooperate, voluntarily transform into our Ascalon Undead, I’m afraid it’s impossible.”
Cao Xing frowned slightly.
If it cannot be converted.
That means... we can only kill all the undead in this underground palace!
This made Cao Xing feel a little troubled.
As we have seen before, the benefits of killing these undead are really not high.
At this moment, Duke Palatine changed the subject.
"But...this time I brought the Holy Crown of the Kingdom..."
Cao Xing was stunned, "Is it the crown from last time? What does it do?"
A terrifying smile appeared on Duke Palatine's deathly face.
“After wearing this crown, I will have higher authority.”
“If... we can beat these undead to a weak state, we will have a chance. ”
Cao Xing’s eyes suddenly lit up!
“You mean, you can forcibly transform them into Ascalonian undead?”
"Yes, these undead souls don't have much sanity left. After receiving a large number of attacks, the fire of the undead in the body will become very weak."
"In this way, it gives me the ability to transform them. Opportunity!”
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Cao Xing’s face.
"Then what are you waiting for?"
Immediately ordered: "All Ascalon warriors and wild boar warriors, come on!"
"Try not to beat them to death, beat them into a weak state and hand them over to Duke Palatine for transformation!"
"Yes! Lord!"
After receiving the order, these more than a thousand five The first-level warrior rushed forward with amazing momentum!
At the front, Yaskin, Rab and others raised their weapons high and shouted.
“Everyone! It’s time to test our combat strength!”
"We must not disappoint the lord, we are the most powerful warriors!"
"Kill!!!"
All the warriors let out an earth-shattering cry of killing, and then fiercely attacked Rush forward.
These more than a thousand warriors charged at the same time, and the momentum they erupted was not weaker than the tens of thousands of undead on the opposite side!
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides quickly approached. Cao Xing and Paladin were behind, watching the scene in front of them.
The next moment, the two waves of armies were in direct contact.
The army of tens of thousands of undead waved the ghost sword in their hands and slashed it down!
"Crash!"
These more than a thousand warriors are like a lonely boat on the sea. Facing the turbulent waves, they will be drowned by this group of undead almost instantly!
If it was a month ago, these soldiers of Cao Xing would not be able to stop the attack of so many undead.
However, things are different now!
Faced with the impact of the massive undead, these more than a thousand combatants not only did not retreat even half a step, but instead began to make counterattacks in an orderly manner!
“For the glory of the lord!”
“Destroy them!”
All the warriors waved their swords and attacked crazily!
"Chichi~chichi!"
"Puchchi!"
The sound of the blade appearing continuously.
The formation of the first wave of the undead army that rushed in was instantly cut open, and the blood volume began to plummet!
And because of the power of the holy water, each knife eroded the undead and made them scream in agony!
"Ah!!"
"Pain...so painful..."
"These damn guys have weapons with power against us!"
The blood volume of the undead army dropped rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
These warriors shouted,
“Everyone! Attack!”
They actually charged forward against the attacks of tens of thousands of undead!
Like a school of fish swimming upstream, they forcefully broke away the formation of the undead army!
A large number of undead were defeated by this invincible army.
When the blood volume of several of the undead dropped below 10%, the green flames on their bodies became erratic.
Duke Palatine said: "Your Excellency Cao Xing, I have passed."
Cao Xing understood what he meant and immediately nodded: "Okay!"
The words were finished , Baladin rushed to the battlefield as quickly as possible.
At the same time, as he held up the crown in his hand, a mighty kingly aura instantly filled the air.
These dozen undead with residual blood instantly felt that they were bound by a special force, and it was still invading their consciousness and polluting their will-o'-wisps!
As undead, a thought of fear actually arose in their hearts.
At this moment, Paladin is still holding the crown, his expression unchanged.
Muttered some strange spells.
"Homeless souls, the glory of the Kingdom is willing to shine on you..."
"Follow the king's will and become a brave warrior..."
...
With Paladin's spell, the miserable green will-o'-the-wisps on these undead bodies were gradually dyed into blue.
There was a look of struggle in their eyes.
“Can’t…”
"We cannot betray our faith..."
"Lord Tiernis..."
However, their resistance has no effect.
In just a few seconds, the green light all over his body completely changed color.
This also means that they have completely become the undead of Ascalon.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing had a surprised smile on his face and couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised.
"Haha! Baladin's move is really good!"
"He actually succeeded in forcing the transformation."
"However, the speed is still a bit slow. ”
According to the speed just now.
Baladin can transform up to a dozen undead at a time.
And it will take three or four seconds.
How many undead are there here?
More than one hundred thousand!
At this rate, the transformation won’t be completed until tomorrow.
Moreover, these undead souls are not fools. They cannot stay where they are and let Cao Xing and the others transform.
The soldiers couldn't hold back, and it was normal to kill a group of undead.
Cao Xing's heart moved slightly.
“Forget it, it just depends on the situation. Just convert as much as you can.”
“Even if it’s only one tenth, you’ll still make a lot of money!”
< br>
At the same time, the group of warriors were still engaged in fierce battles with these undead armies!
Sometimes the battle is too fierce, and there will always be a time when you can't stop.
The blood volume of some undead with remaining blood was cleared, and then they turned into a ball of miserable green will-o'-the-wisp and disappeared into the world.
“Ah!”
“Great Lord...we can no longer protect your glory...”
The undead were killed one by one, and inexplicable sounds came from their mouths.
It was like the moment before they died, they had a flashback and regained a little bit of consciousness.
Of course, many undead souls were converted by Duke Palatine.
As time goes by.
In the ruined city of the undead, more undead rushed over.
"Crash!"
A strong breath of death rushed towards my face.
At least more than 20,000 undead armies poured out!
See this scene.
Cao Xing waved his hand, "Undead souls of Ascalon, go meet these undead souls!"
The command of this battle falls on Cao Xing, so he naturally has the right to command all undead.
After hearing this, the group of Ascalon undead immediately waved their war blades without hesitation and charged out.
Even though most of them only have level 3 to level 5 combat power, compared with the undead on this ancient battlefield, they are far behind in terms of numbers and strength.
But still fearless!
Of course, Cao Xing would not let them deal with this wave of enemies alone. Instead, he sent the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion and the Centaur Legion to assist in the battle.
Shadows rushed high into the sky, and then fell like cannonballs into the undead army!
"Boom! Boom!"
The four leaders of the Dragon Blood Fighters used the terrifying skill [Dragon Blood Spiraling Thorn] one after another.
A series of violent explosions sounded, scattering the formation of the undead army!
More dragon blood warriors use large-scale control skills such as Ice and Snow Dragon Spear Stab.
Each of these fighters is Cao Xing's trump card, and fighting one against a hundred is just commonplace for them.
At this moment, rush into the undead army and start killing on the spot!
The Ascalon Undead Legion and Centaur Legion behind them are not to be outdone!
They waved their swords wildly to prevent the enemy from moving forward.
The blue sea of the undead fights against the green flames of the undead. The two sides are actually evenly matched!
"Kill!"
The centaur gun and shield knight charged all the way, knocking over the sixth-level undead on the spot!
Centaur warriors followed.
"Boom! Boom!"
Hundreds of centaurs marched straight into the hinterland of this undead army.
Everyone's momentum was gathered to its peak, and each of them seemed to be invincible on the battlefield with invincible confidence!
Even during the battle, the group of Ascalon undead couldn't help but look at Cao Xing's warriors.
Sentiment, envy and other emotions emerged in my heart.
In their opinion, this is the real legion, this is the real invincible division!
Once upon a time, they also had this kind of momentum.
Under the glory of the Kingdom, they were invincible.
Now that he has become an undead, his strength has dropped significantly.
Among them, Undead Lieutenant Kalhan said.
"Everyone! We must not be embarrassed in front of our former comrades!"
"Even if we become undead, we must show our momentum!"
Hearing this, all the undead on the field had a strong fighting spirit in their eyes!
“We are the strongest warriors!!”
Tens of thousands of undead screamed into the sky, and the fire of the undead on their bodies surged.
Then with the most ferocious fighting posture, he frantically attacks these undead in the ancient battlefield.
With the cooperation of dragon blood warriors and centaurs.
Soon, this wave of nearly 20,000 undead army was stopped again!
At the same time, Duke Palatine was spinning at almost the fastest speed!
See where the undead fire on the undead becomes dim.
He rushed over quickly and used the power of the crown to transform the group of undead.
In just a few minutes, two to three hundred ancient undead souls have been transformed.
Moreover, these undead are quite powerful in combat!
The minimum strength of level 50 is equivalent to having two to three hundred more sixth-level combat powers at once.
However, these undead are in a weak state at the moment, and even if the transformation is completed, they cannot go into battle immediately.
But as long as they recover, Duke Palatine’s undead power will increase dramatically!
Including Cao Xing, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Very good, the number of these undead that have come out so far is about 60,000."
"With the power of my legion and the power of the Ascalon undead army, we can contain them here."
"In this way, the transformation can be carried out slowly."
Just when Cao Xing was thinking so.
The large-scale battle here immediately disturbed the more powerful troops in the City of the Dead!
"Roar——"
After a terrifying roar.
Another army of nearly 20,000 undead rushed out from the City of the Undead!
And above their heads, there are a large number of undead dragons, undead winged birds and other flying units.
Like a miserable green wave, it was overwhelmingly pressing towards them.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing was not surprised.
After all, I have seen before that there are more and more powerful undead in the ruined city.
He waved his hand and gave the order quickly.
“All the swordsmen and earth mages of the Kingdom of Stars, this 20,000 undead army is handed over to you!”
“The Knights of the Silver Hand, the undead units in the sky are handed over to you! ! ”
"Let me see the results of your training with the griffins these days!"
Hear the last sentence.
The eyes of all the Knights of the Silver Hand were filled with strong fighting spirit.
"The lord's glory shines on us, and the Silver Knights will be invincible!"
As soon as the words were said, a hundred griffons soared into the sky!
