Chapter 145 144. Shadow Legion
Shadow Weaver and Fiery Heart are the talents he currently mainly uses. Upgrading them will bring greater benefits.
Thinking of this, Su Hong chose the first option, which was also the one with the highest compatibility.
The original power of the filthy blood was lost in his body, the shadow sprouted, and new abilities appeared.
"The fusion was successful and I obtained the calamity talent (temporary): Shadow Weaver."
"Shadow Weaver (Rare+): You are the king with the blood of shadows, the master of the shadow army. You are familiar with the weirdness of shadows, understand the black sun magic of shadows, and can use the power of disaster to weave an existence beyond your own strength."
"The quality of talent has indeed improved." Su Hong was shocked.
After the Tainted Blood talent was merged into the Shadow talent, he gained the ability to reshape the ancient Royal Knights with shadows.
This time it was really a wave of the hand, one person became an army.
The shadow escaped from the convoy and hid in the forest. Su Hong found a flat piece of ground to condense his form.
His mind moved, and he beckoned: "Come out, my legion."
The shadow expanded, swallowing up everything around it like a quagmire. Dark creatures were born in the cradle of the shadow. Knights, lances, swords, horses... A legion of fifty knights appeared in front of him.
The leader of the legion jumped off his horse, knelt down and hissed: "My king, I am waiting for your instructions."
Having said that, this shadow army seemed to have turned into stone sculptures, maintaining its posture motionlessly, as if they would not make any unnecessary moves without Su Hong's instructions.
He sensed carefully that the average strength of the legion knights was immortal level 2, and the disaster level was about level 25.
The strength of the leader of the legion has reached the third level of immortality, and the disaster level is about level 30.
With this legion, at least he doesn't have to worry about the surprise attack from the Dawn Order team in the simulation, and he can face Melanie much more easily than before.
At least he can run away even if he can't be beaten.
"The quality of talent has slightly filled the gap in strength. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for Melanie to kill me."
"Maybe I should find time to enter the simulation to practice."
He is still in the North District, and if he wants to start the simulation, he must return to the anchor point near Sheng City.
The good news is that we can learn from Wang Chengzhi's diary that the Immortal Blade seemed to have left the Northern Expedition team for a while and returned to Shengshi.
It was also because the members of the Immortal Blade died in the wilds of Shengshi that Wang Chengzhi mentioned this in his notes.
It was still early to go back, so Su Hong gathered his thoughts and continued to explore the power of this legion.
After half an hour of experimenting, he found that the knights of this legion had no consciousness of life, and all their actions were just abiding by the precepts of the order.
The Shadow Legion can only understand some simple instructions. If they are any more complicated, they will be stunned and unable to react at all.
Simple instructions include attacking, guarding, returning to defense, etc. If they are arranged to assassinate someone and perform such a behavior that requires complex decision-making, the result will only be in a daze.
Of course, these knights were elites comparable to the Templars in their lifetime, and even their instinct alone was enough to handle most battle scenarios.
What is surprising is that they still retain the power of disaster during their lifetime, and can use the shadow to release the power of disaster.
The true strength of the Shadow Legion is not lower than that of the undead of the same level. After the experiment, Su Hong's consciousness returned to his original body.
At this time, the army has arrived at the outskirts of the third city in the North District. This city is one of the two first-tier cities in the North District, named Haidu.
There are twenty-three shelters scattered across the outskirts of this city, large and small, and they absorb the entire population of the entire delta plain area.
Both small city and rural populations have gathered in shelters on the outskirts of Haidu, with the population reaching an astonishing number of more than 200 million.
This is a force that cannot be ignored in the post-apocalyptic world, but at the same time, the risks brought by high population concentration are also considerable.
If a disaster occurs in a shelter, even if only one shelter falls, at least millions of lives will be lost.
Fortunately, the intensity of the disaster in this area is not very high.
The alliance plans to clean up the surface disaster in the Haidu area and establish a temporary military base.
Then use Haidu as the hub and gradually radiate to surrounding shelters. Then clear more highway routes to the Southern District, restore high-speed rail traffic, and spend at least three months to move all the survivors from the Northern District to the Southern District. .
This plan involves road cleaning, high-speed rail line maintenance, personnel arrangement and deployment, material transportation and distribution... It is extremely troublesome to actually operate.
Fortunately, the positions, powers and responsibilities of the alliance were fairly clear. It only took one day for the Southern District Alliance and the Haidu Alliance to reach a consensus and distribute various orders.
Among them, Su Hong's Immortal Blade was assigned to the temporary road management department. They were responsible for leading some armored troops and engineering teams back to the southern district from another high-speed line, while clearing away disaster monsters blocking the road and responding to various emergencies. , while road traffic is restored so that convoys can pass safely.
At noon, the army camped on the spot, and Su Hong and Wei Qiang were summoned into a tent by Sun Hang, the leader of the Immortal Blade.
In addition to the two of them, there were also members of the Twelve Immortal Blades inside.
Sun Hang came to the table and unfolded the map, "You should have seen the order issued by the alliance."
He pointed to a longer high-speed railway line on the map, "This expressway line is called Ningqing Line, which directly connects Qinghai City and Ning'an City, a second-tier city in the delta region. Our task is to open up a new line all the way south. transportation routes.”
"After completion, we will receive a large amount of bounties and contributions from the military, which will be helpful to the future development of our Corps."
"Do you have any objections?"
Everyone shook their heads. They joined the corps just for money, status and power. If they were timid and couldn't seize the opportunity, they might as well go back to the shelter and be a coward. Why come out?
Sun Hang's eyes flashed and he said: "We are the first corps to receive such a large-scale mission. The other corps are just doing small work and performing some auxiliary tasks."
"As long as we can successfully complete this mission, the alliance and the military will improve our rating. We will be given priority for better missions in the future, and we will be able to secure our position as the first corps."
"Brothers, for the sake of our future." Sun Hang raised his hand.
Su Hong and other members also raised their hands, "For our future."
The internal meeting of the Immortal Blade ended quickly, and Su Hong got on the convoy returning to the Southern District early the next morning.
At the same time, he also received news that the Knights Temple had arrived safely in the South District, and everything was moving in the right direction.
