Chapter 473 Negotiation, the undead army surrendered. (5000)
Seeing this, Cao Xing removed the forbidden curse and asked.
"Now, are you willing to surrender?"
The Black Knight did not speak, but looked around.
Then his eyes fell on all the Ascalon warriors on the field, as well as the group of wild boar warriors.
The black undead fire on his body trembled slightly.
He said with some surprise: "These soldiers of yours seem to have a familiar force..."
Cao Xing was a little confused, "What does a familiar force mean?" ?”
The Black Knight asked solemnly: “Before this, these warriors under your command must have used some means to make a breakthrough, right?”
“Borrowed?” It should be the power of a certain existence.”
Cao Xing suddenly remembered.
“You mean, this altar?”
After saying that, he took out the altar directly.
“Clang!”
The heavy altar fell to the ground.
At this moment, the nearly 100,000 undead remaining on the field all looked at the red altar.
Even though they had lost their minds, they still had an incomparable expression on their faces when facing this altar. Respectful look!
The flames in the black knight's eyes skyrocketed!
"It's...the great altar of the God of War!"
"I didn't expect...after experiencing that eternal war, there is actually a missing altar of war in this world..."
"And, it was actually obtained by you, the lord of another world!"
Cao Xing asked doubtfully: "There should be a lot of such altars in the world, right?"
"I Is it strange to get one?”
The black knight nodded: “There are many more.”
“However, not everyone can use this kind of altar.”
"Back then, the powerful man who wanted to make the world more prosperous created a large number of altars to gods to deal with future crises."
"However, only his followers can use these altars. ."
"And you are not his believer, but you still believe in him. Being able to use the altar means that you have obtained the approval of his will!"
A thoughtful look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes,
He nodded slightly and continued to ask: "What do you mean? , is this dark city related to Balthazar?”
"Yes."
The black knight slowly explained.
“All the undead in this city are followers of Balthazar...”
“He was originally one of the Six True Gods and the original God of War.”
< br>“But for some reason, the gods started an eternal war, and the true god Balthazar died in that war.”
"And a new true god appeared to take his place."
"And we, the Balthazar believers, were also liquidated after his death."
"Being a god Punishment has come, and we voluntarily accepted the curse and turned into undead to protect this city..."
A sudden look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.
He did see the death of the God of War on the altar.
And so far, he has confirmed the death of two true gods.
Crystal Dragon Kralkator, God of War Balthazar.
This also made Cao Xing understand something.
Even the immortal God is mortal.
Furthermore, he also knew...there was a deeper force behind this that was driving all of this.
Before Krakatoa disappeared, what he said to him was still lingering in his ears.
'The Six True Gods are not enemies, and the ancient dragons are not friends either. Don't trust anyone...'
At the same time, the Black Knight also said just now.
After Balthazar's death, a new true god appeared to take his place.
In other words, both the Six True Gods and the Ancient Dragon want to maintain balance.
But somewhere, there is a force pushing all of this, causing these true gods and dragons to continue to fall.
After deducing this, Cao Xing took a sharp breath.
He realized that he could not continue thinking about it!
The closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous he becomes!
Cao Xing said: "I understand."
"However, if you want to continue to protect this gray city, this is not possible now."
"With the passage of time, most of the undead here have lost their minds, and they can only accept the transformation of Duke Palatine , so that you can continue to exist."
The black knight glanced at the undead Paladin next to him.
The Duke also said: "Your undead fire has become weaker and weaker."
"It won't be long before all the undead except you will become sane. Monster.”
"They will not even obey your orders."
"Sooner or later, they will completely fall into a state of madness, rush out of the ground, and then be killed by the strong people outside."
"Now, after being transformed into the undead of Ascalon by me, your undead fire can still continue, and it is even possible for other undead to regain their sanity."
Hearing these last words, the black man The knight seemed to have made some kind of decision.
“I understand. Since you can use the altar, it means that you have been recognized by the God of War.”
"And this undead has the ability to keep our undead fire alive."
"Then, on behalf of all the undead, I am willing to agree to your proposal."
Hearing his promise , Cao Xing also felt strong joy in his heart.
Because in this way, you can control this underground city!
And how many undead are there in this underground city?
I'm afraid it's more than 100,000!
Now, this black knight promises to transform all the undead in the ancient battlefield into the undead of Ascalon.
And Paladin swore that he would fight to the death for himself!
This is equivalent to Cao Xing himself directly controlling this army of one hundred thousand undead!
Although these undead cannot be amplified by their own eternal power, this is also an extremely terrifying force!
When the time comes, under Cao Xing's call, this undead army, totaling hundreds of thousands in number, will clear all obstacles for him!
Even facing the Blood Legion, I have more power to protect myself!
A smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.
“This is a wise choice. After being transformed into the undead of Ascalon, everyone can continue to exist.”
“At the same time, the Gray City has also been preserved.”< br>
The head of the black knight wearing a pitch-black helmet nodded slightly, "You are right."
"As the Duke of the Undead said, in the near future, because of the passage of time, we will "Including the remaining undead in other areas, they will lose control and rush out of the ground."
"The Dark City will also lose its guardian."
Cao Xing was stunned.
In the near future, the remaining undead in other areas will lose control...
This means that the undead from underground cities around the world will rush out together?
Could it be that... what those sand sculpture players said is true?
Maybe the next expansion pack is really a natural disaster of the undead?
Or, are the undead natural disasters and the Blood Legion appearing together?
Cao Xing frowned, and then asked: "Tirnis, do you know how long it will be until you ancient undead are completely out of control?"
The black knight shook his head and said: "I don't know. Now I can still clearly control the undead in the entire gray city "
"As long as my consciousness still exists, all the undead here will be controlled by me."
"I don't know about the undead in other areas, but the situation must be the same as ours. Almost."
Cao Xing nodded slightly.
At this time, he suddenly had a different idea.
Looked at the black knight in front of him, and then asked: "Tirnis, do you know the locations of other cities of the undead?"
Yes, Cao Xing was already thinking about whether he could Just like conquering the undead in this gloomy city, go and conquer the undead in other cities!
If possible, would this be equivalent to preventing a natural disaster?
Or, become a natural disaster yourself!
If he could really succeed, he would even prepare to let the Scourge of the Undead deal with the Blood Legion!
That picture must be exciting to think about!
Of course, this is just a thought.
After all, cities like this of the undead are scattered all over the world, and there are not many in the entire Ice Crystal Kingdom.
The Black Knight thought back for a moment, shook his head and said: "Every city of the undead is extremely far apart."
"Even I don't know the location of other cities."
Hearing this answer, Cao Xing nodded slightly.
I don’t feel any regret in my heart.
Although Tiernis doesn’t know, it doesn’t mean that no one else knows.
After all, in the forum post, Cao Xing saw many sand sculpture survivors saying that they had discovered the City of the Dead!
There is also news about a large number of undead beings!
As long as they follow the clues and chat privately one by one, the locations of these ancient battlefields are no secret at all to Cao Xing.
When the time comes, it will be possible to raise an army of millions or even tens of millions of undead!
Thinking of this, Cao Xing became even more excited.
However, this is just a later assumption.
The most important thing now is to convert all the undead in this gloomy city.
So, Cao Xing looked at the black knight next to him, and then said: "Tell them to start now."
The black knight nodded slightly.
Then, he turned around and let all the undead gather.
Under the restraint of the Black Knight, these undead all stood in place and allowed Duke Palatine to transform them.
The Duke also became busy, holding up the Holy Crown of the Kingdom and releasing his power to convert other undead. Everything started to go smoothly.
As batches of undead were transformed into Ascalonian undead, the fire of the undead became brighter.
They regained their consciousness, and then looked at their bodies and the black knight next to them in shock.
"Lord Tiernis...this is..."
He waved his hand and said: "No need to say more, only in this way can we continue to exist."
Although these undead felt strange, since it was the Black Knight's order, they chose to obey it.
I just feel a little awkward in my heart.
After becoming the undead of Ascalon, their first allegiance was to Duke Palatine, who held the Holy Crown of the Kingdom.
But in my heart, I am equally loyal to the Black Knight.
Therefore, this is equivalent to them having to obey the orders of the two leaders.
When the time comes, the two leaders give orders at the same time, and neither of them knows who to listen to.
Of course, it depends on their subsequent arrangements.
After Cao Xing saw that the transformation of the undead was on track, he came to the black knight and said.
"Tirnis, I would like to know about the Shield of Beginning, is it convenient?"
The black knight was slightly startled, and then glanced at Cao Xing unexpectedly.
“You actually know that the Shield of Beginning is in our Gray City.”
Cao Xing nodded and said, “Yes, a mysterious being told me before.”
< br>The Black Knight thought for a moment and then said.
“This shield was originally used by a legendary powerhouse in our City of Gray.”
"However, his soul was directly wiped out in that battle, and he also lost the qualification to be transformed into the undead, and left this shield in the City of Gray."
"At the same time...this is also our One of the things to protect."
Cao Xing continued to ask: "Now, if I Will taking away the Shield of Origin have any impact on you?"
The Black Knight shook his head, "It will have no impact."
"In other words, this shield. Just waiting for an existence like you that is recognized by the true god Balthazar to appear.”
Cao Xing suddenly became happy.
If I had known that I still had this status, I could have come and taken it away a month ago.
However, this kind of thing is uncertain.
If it weren’t for the absolutely powerful combat power shown on his side.
I am afraid that I will be overwhelmed by this group of undead from the beginning.
Not to mention, he could wake up the sleeping Black Knight Tiernis after a series of battles.
Then use absolute strength to force him to negotiate with himself.
It can be said that strength and luck are indispensable.
"Please come with me."
After saying this, the black knight turned around and walked towards the gray city.
Cao Xing followed him.
Soon, they passed through the battlefield area outside and arrived in the city.
As seen outside, this place is in a state of ruins.
There are various collapsed buildings everywhere. The once solid stones and beams are now scattered on the ground, covered with thick dust.
As I walked along the street, the stone pavement under my feet was full of cracks, and yellow weeds grew out of the cracks.
There are also rows of collapsed buildings on both sides of the street.
After walking for a while, Cao Xing suddenly saw something strange next to a pile of ruins.
It looked like a few dusty seeds.
"Huh? What kind of seeds can be preserved for so long?"
"It can't be...the seeds of the ancient tree of war, right?"
With a puzzled look, Cao Xing walked over and picked it up directly,
[Obtained: Ancient War Tree Seeds*3]
…
“Haha! Really!”
Cao Xingke still remembered that the ancient war tree in his territory once said that when it was sleeping, it sensed the scent of some other seeds nearby.
Among them are the Ancient Tree of Wind and the Ancient Tree of Knowledge.
The place where they sleep is near this battlefield.
"Not bad, not bad. It seems that there should be other seeds in this dark city."
Cao Xing followed the black knight while walking in some deserted corners of the dark city. Glancing around.
Notice the look in his eyes.
The black knight next to him asked: "Are you still interested in these seeds?"
Cao Xing nodded: "Of course, this kind of seed is very helpful to me."
Tirnis Said: "You don't have to look for the seeds of these ancient trees. , appeared in our city of darkness many years ago."
"Over the years, I have collected the seeds of the entire ancient battlefield."
"If you want it, just do it. Let’s give it to you together.”
Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, "Give it all to me?"
It seemed that he didn't expect it to be so easy, and he seemed a little surprised.
Tirnis shook his head, the black helmet on his head shaking slightly.
"These seeds have no effect on us."
After saying that, he took out an ancient bag from under his dark armor.
And threw it directly to Cao Xing.
And Cao Xing also took it over.
[Obtain: Ancient Tree Seed of War*73]
[Obtain: Ancient Tree Seed of Wind*12]
[Obtain: Ancient Tree Seed of Knowledge*1]< br>
…
Seeing this number, Cao Xing suddenly felt shocked in his eyes!
“Guigui, there are so many!”
“Isn’t this equivalent to me having more than 80 growable defensive units at once?”
< br>“This wave is a bit comfortable!”
Cao Xing suppressed the excitement in his heart and said.
"Thank you, Tiernis."
The black knight waved his hand and continued to lead Cao Xing deeper into the City of Gray.
A few minutes later, they had arrived at the most central area of the city.
In front, there is a simple statue.
This statue is tall and majestic, standing among the ruins like a silent guardian.
He is tall and tall, wearing an ancient armor, holding the sword tightly in his hand, as if he is ready to go into war at any time!
The face of the statue is the same as the altar in Cao Xing's backpack.
Obviously, the identity of the other party is already revealed.
The black knight said with emotion: "This statue of the God of War is also one of the things we protect."
"This great being foresaw his own death many years ago."
"So, He sent us an oracle."
"Let us believers protect us A good statue can continue the will of the God of War one day in the future."
A look of thought appeared in Cao Xing's eyes again.
The God of War also foresaw his own death, just like the ancient dragon Krakatoll.
And these two true god-level creatures seemed to have made the same choice before they died...
That is, they each left behind their own power and inheritance.
Look at the statue.
This God of War seems to be in a state of preparation before war.
He raised the sword in his hand high and stared firmly ahead.
Like a general inspecting his hundreds of millions of elite soldiers, he exudes a strategizing temperament.
Cao Xing's gaze moved upward, gradually looking into the eyes of the statue.
Because of the entire statue, these eyes are the most special.
It seems as if they are not carved, but a pair of real pupils!
Under his gaze, the pupils suddenly moved downward, looking at Cao Xing with a scrutinizing gaze.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing's heart tightened.
“Holy shit, the statue is alive?”
Before he could react, this huge statue erupted with a vast and mysterious light!
Completely illuminate the entire ancient battlefield.
Under this light, fanaticism appeared on the faces of all the undead in the ancient battlefield.
They all knelt down and worshiped towards the center of the ancient battlefield!
Even Black Knight Tiernis looked at Cao Xing in shock.
“It’s unimaginable! This lord from another world actually activated the power of the statue!”
