Chapter 695 Kongqing Town Shrouded in Darkness
Hearing Lin's trembling and hasty voice, Lei Xiao was surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Lin, take a deep breath, what happened?"
You know, not long ago, Lei Xiao had been keeping in touch with Lin, Hu Zhang, Guan Zhong and others, keeping abreast of the situation in Kongqing Town.
It was not until leading the elite soldiers out of the territory that the communication was temporarily interrupted.
At that time, although part of the magical cannons on the city wall of Kongqing Town lost their firepower due to the depletion of magic energy and light crystals, the three infantry regiments under the Nightmare Knight began to attack more violently.
But because of the joining of Xiao En and other pterosaur knights, it has not reached a precarious situation.
The only thing worth noting was that the Nightmare Knight, who was the coach and also the most powerful fighter, hadn't shown up since the beginning of the battle. This made Lei Xiao a little worried.
"All the defenders of Kongqing Town are already close to 10,000 people. With the addition of the main force such as Knotweed, Lian, and Jubai, how could it be possible that it will suddenly fall?"
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this in surprise.
On the other side of the conversation, Lin first took a deep breath according to Lei Xiao's instructions, and then immediately said: "Lord Lord, without warning, a large number of skeleton soldiers suddenly appeared in the city, and wars ignited everywhere. , its already a mess.
"What's even more frightening is that as long as one of our troops dies in battle, they will immediately convert into undead warriors and join the attackers' camp!"
"What?!"
At this time, Lei Xiao had brought Hong Ye, Ye Cang, Ariel, Zhao Yan, Xue Ya, Fa Xia, Lina, Randall, three old magicians, a total of ten fourth-level powerhouses, He galloped towards Kongqing Town at high speed.
As the wind was flying like lightning, Lei Xiao's originally dignified expression suddenly became extremely serious after hearing Lin's words.
In the course of the battle, if the fallen robe beside him immediately turned into a dead spirit, and then attacked him... This would undoubtedly cause a huge blow to the morale of other soldiers.
Moreover, undead warriors who are not afraid of pain and fatigue are already superior to ordinary soldiers of the same strength.
This means that as time goes by, the enemy will fight more and more, and while our numbers continue to decrease, our morale will also become lower and lower.
In this extremely unfavorable situation, Kongqing Town will indeed fall soon.
"All of this is obviously caused by the Nightmare Knight in the dark. No wonder he hasn't shown up all this time. He really is brewing this terrifying conspiracy."
"However, how did he manage to transform the dead into undead as soon as they fell? As far as I know, neither the Necromancer nor the mutant Nightmare Knight can do this." a little."
"After all, when using necromancy to summon undead, no matter how many there are, it's all done overnight. How could it be possible to continuously cast necromancy to summon undead?"
"Furthermore, even a fifth-order powerhouse cannot summon undead in such a vast area of the city, regardless of distance."
Just as Lei Xiao frowned and thought of this, the group of people had already crossed the rising water level of the Demon Shadow River, and came to the other side of the messy river bank.
Because the white knight had already opened a path in the forest when he marched to the territory.
Therefore, under the blessing of [Pupil of the Star], the outline of Kongqing Town in front is already clearly visible.
Under the moonlit night, the city in the distance was shrouded in a dense and mysterious black mist.
Faintly, bone-piercing screams could be heard continuously coming from the city.
The appearance of the black cloud pressing down on the city is like a huge hand pressing down on the city, which makes people feel shocking.
Especially the looming fire in the black mist, it shows that the city is crumbling.
On the outskirts of Kongqing Town, it can be clearly seen that the soldiers of the new aristocrats, who have already been waving their battle flags, are completely surrounded.
The black and neat army formation was like a steel wall, completely blocking the way to the city.
Moreover, quite a number of new noble soldiers were facing the direction of the territory, obviously guarding against reinforcements from the territory.
"Has the siege stopped? No wonder I didn't hear the roar of the magic cannon."
Gently sniffing the **** smell in the air, Lei Xiao's complexion had already darkened to the bottom of the valley.
In addition to the tens of thousands of soldiers under his own command, Kongqing Town also has a large number of civilians.
Among them are not only the residents of Kongqing Town, but also the free farmers in the surrounding villages, and those undead warriors in the city obviously cannot only attack soldiers.
This means that this city, which has been built and expanded by itself, is suffering from the destruction of Nightmare Knight in all aspects, whether it is soldiers, population, or infrastructure.
As for the reason why these new noble forces stopped attacking, the reason is also very simple.
That is, just wait for the necromancers in it to completely slaughter all the defenders of Kongqing, and they will naturally be able to easily occupy the city.
Looking at the mockery and contempt on the faces of the new noble soldiers guarding the territory, Lei Xiao clenched his fists.
The most urgent task at present is to resolve the crisis in the city first, and when the city comes to an end, none of these new aristocratic forces who are working for tigers can escape.
"Having said that, the dense black mist that envelops the city is obviously the key to the Nightmare Knight's conspiracy, and it is also the source of the dead spirits everywhere in Kongqing Town, but what exactly is that? And how should it be solved?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao frowned again.
"It's... actually the realm of the undead!"
Seeing Lina who arrived later, her wheat-colored face was full of surprise, and she blurted out immediately.
"Undead Realm?"
Lei Xiao, who had already galloped to the edge of the forest, stopped for the time being, and nodded to Lina beside him to continue talking.
Although the situation is extremely urgent, when the situation is still unclear, rushing directly into the city is no different from sending someone to death.
With Lei Xiao's mind, reckless and reckless things are naturally impossible.
"Lord, the so-called Necromancer Domain is a very special magical barrier."
Lina was also aware of the seriousness of the matter, and speeded up her speech: "The biggest feature of this magic barrier is that it can transform all the dead inside into undead warriors, which can be described as extremely vicious."
"And, if the caster doesn't take the initiative to control these undead, these undead warriors will attack all living people indiscriminately within the effective range of the enchantment, bringing fear and death to the area where the enchantment is located. .
There was a look of disgust on Lina's face, and she continued: "According to my teacher, the Necromancer Domain is one of the strongest secret techniques of the "Travelers". Prosperous cities become dead cities. "
"It's actually like this. No wonder the soldiers of the new nobles didn't take the opportunity to rush into the city, otherwise they would have suffered miserably."
Ariel frowned, and a stern look flashed in her starry eyes and said: "It's really a terrible and vicious secret technique."
"That's right, the behavior of the "Traveler" is even more abominable than those vicious monsters. "
In addition to her indignation, Lina's exquisite face showed a hint of puzzlement: "But the Necromancer Domain often needs a very long preparation time before it can be finally built and then launched smoothly. Don't be suspicious."
"It's very simple. This shows that the Nightmare Knight has been eyeing Kongqing Town for a long time. In other words, he has obviously been secretly preparing for this day."
A flash of murderous intent flashed in Lei Xiao's eyes, and he asked the Mandela woman in front of him, "Lina, how should we crack this realm of undead?"
"Back to Lord Lord, the solution is very simple, that is to find the location of the formation eye."
Lina, with a serious expression, immediately bowed and responded: "When the Necromancer Domain is activated, the caster will definitely coordinate everything at the eye of the formation. As long as the caster is defeated, everything will be solved!"
"Understood, so it's enough to kill the Nightmare Knight?"
Lei Xiao frowned and nodded, signaling to the people beside him to continue to fly in the direction of Kongqing Town.
Since everyone in the group was wearing an invisibility cloak, there was no need to worry about being discovered by the new noble soldiers who surrounded Kongqing Town.
During this process, Lei Xiao, who already had a preliminary understanding of the current situation, continued to read the words and asked about the specific situation on Lin's side.
After Lin's further introduction, Lei Xiao learned about it.
After the defenders who died in battle were suddenly converted into skeleton warriors.
The four walls of Kongqing Town were in a complete mess very quickly.
The soldiers of the garrison army of Kongqing Town, who were concentrating on defending against the new aristocratic forces below the city, never thought that the sharp blade would stab into their chest from behind.
Although when the skeleton warriors started to wreak havoc, the new noble forces outside the city had retreated to a safe distance and stopped attacking the city.
However, these Sen Bai new threats who suddenly stood upright by his side were obviously more ferocious and difficult to deal with than the living enemies in the city.
"Seeing that the robes wearing the same armor turned into dead soul warriors with empty eyes, many soldiers were pierced by sharp blades for a moment in a daze, so more skeleton soldiers appeared."
Lin's tone still revealed panic and helplessness, and she continued tremblingly: "It didn't take long, the eastern city wall that my subordinate was in charge of couldn't hold on anymore, so my subordinate had to lead the last few squadron soldiers to fight hard. After fighting a **** road, he retreated to the granary in the east of the city, gaining safety for the time being."
"It turned out to be like this..."
Lei Xiao nodded silently, then asked anxiously: "What about Hu Zhang, Fang Hai, Guan Zhong, Ju Bai and others?"
Just now, Lei Xiao has tried many times.
Just like the previous emergencies, this undead domain obviously has some kind of interference measures.
Apart from Lin, Lei Xiao couldn't contact any other subordinates in the city.
"My lord, my subordinates don't know what the other people are doing. After the undead domain you mentioned was launched, the city was in chaos very quickly. Not only the soldiers who died in battle, but also the cemeteries in the city. There are a lot of wandering skeleton soldiers."
Lin took a deep breath again, trying to calm down her terrified emotions, and responded: "The magic communication and reading have failed, and the messengers have been killed and injured, and the contact has been interrupted long ago."
"But according to my subordinates' speculation, the defenders on the other walls should have retreated into the city one after another. After all, if the enemy comes from behind, then the walls are no longer the strongest front."
After a pause, Lin immediately added: "And all the important facilities in the city, including the City Lord's Mansion, are guarded by elite forces such as your magician squadron, trade fair guard squadron, and princess guards. Most of them rely on solid fortresses for defense, and if the defenders retreat into the city, they will inevitably join the nearest elite force as soon as possible, just like their subordinates."
"Understood, Lin, you must persevere and never give up."
Lei Xiao, who had a better understanding of the situation in the city, nodded slightly.
I saw him turn around, and said seriously to the subordinates beside him: "You must have understood the current crisis situation. The new aristocratic forces have surrounded Kongqing Town, and it is impossible to send a large number of soldiers into the city in a short time. Even if you can enter, it may not be a wise choice."
"As a result, the main burden falls on the shoulders of everyone present. Only by entering the Necromancer Domain alone, on the one hand, to reorganize the forces scattered in the city, and on the other hand, to defeat the Nightmare Knight, can we resolve this deadly battle. crisis."
Speaking of this, Lei Xiao's eyes wandered, and finally fell on the three old magicians beside Randall, Walter, Phil, and Swell, and then said: "Three old gentlemen, are you willing to join me?" Fight shoulder to shoulder and swear to the death to resolve this crisis?"
"My lord is too serious."
I saw Walter stroking his gray beard lightly, and first glanced at the other two old great magicians. From the old eyes of the two, they both saw the same firmness.
Then he took a step forward and said with the same stern expression: "My lord rescued Captain Randall's ~ I have not had time to thank you in the future. Naturally, it is incumbent."
"Old Walter is right. From the moment the lord brought Randall out of the endless passage, we have already stood by the lord's side."
The wrinkled Swell nodded and agreed without hesitation: "My staff, I am willing to wave it for the lord!"
"You two old boys, don't make a long speech here."
I saw the impatient Phil approached, blowing his beard and staring eagerly and said: "My lord, as long as you think highly of me, just give me your orders."
As for the other direct subordinates, all of them showed firm eyes and looked ready to go.
"Very good. With your words, I feel like I can do anything."
Lei Xiao turned his gaze back to the city in front of him that was surrounded by black mist and struggling in the sky full of flames, and said sternly, "Then let's go in and find out."
