Chapter 190 The Lord is Red Again
In March of the 122nd year of the Kingdom of Rand, which was also March of the 3rd year since the Magic Ring was shattered, as spring approached, the dry sky suddenly became generous.
A particularly fierce storm blew in from a large open area in the southeast.
Lind stood on the city wall in plate armor against the strong wind. Black clouds gathered rapidly under the stirring of the storm.
The temperature was not as cold as before. The occasional drops of rain that fell on the face would be quickly evaporated by the high temperature of Lind's body and turned into wisps of white mist.
He was not surprised by the undead attack from Kazhan Town.
It's not just the town of Kazhan. Lind would not be surprised if all the undead suddenly turned against him. As long as there is benefit in killing him, someone will do it, and there will always be someone who chooses to do so.
Being strong does not scare the undead, but instead stimulates them to launch attacks again and again.
When Lind learned that the undead in Kazhan Town had organized an army of undead to attack the city, he immediately issued a mission through the Lion Badge.
[Star Dragon City Update Announcement]
[Update 1: Emergency siege event! Star Dragon City is attacked by a rebellious force. All participants who successfully defend and fight back against the rebellious force will receive Star Dragon Stone rewards; the top ten will receive additional rewards based on the number of kills.]
[Update 2: Counterattack Kazhan Town! Kazhan Town's treasonous behavior has angered the Lord. Eliminate Kazhan Archbishop Milburn and unlock the Necromancer Path Potion]
[Update 3: Due to an emergency, all stores in Star Dragon City are closed, including the Banshee Pond and Alman's loot warehouses.]
Even without the reward update, this siege would still make the undead excited, not to mention that Lind is now offering a huge reward.
This attack indeed stimulated Lind, making him feel that the undead would launch an attack at the next moment, and Star Dragon City was the copy, and he was the copy BOSS waiting to be attacked.
The sky was getting darker and darker, the light was getting dimmer and the vision was gradually blurred by the falling raindrops brought by the storm.
On the walls of Star Dragon City stood a great knight force that belonged entirely to Lind.
Lance organized the soldiers to prepare for counterattack at the first opportunity. The city defense equipment had been prepared at the beginning of the city's construction, and it was usually maintained, so it could be put into use at the first opportunity.
"Sir, is it...?" Lance stood beside Lind holding a cold ice bow, and experienced the tranquility before the war broke out with him.
Lance's eyesight is very strong, which is probably related to the partial alienation of his body. The alienation allows him to be closer to the original power of magic.
"What is it?" Lind turned his head and looked back. He did not let Brittany, Micko, Morena and others join the battle because they were not good at fighting.
But Celine, Miram, and Dome had already climbed up the wall and were standing behind him.
There are four on top, and all of them are considered elite monster level.
Linde suddenly felt a little funny that he actually used the term elite monster to describe his own forces, and it didn't even feel a bit awkward.
"Undead."
"They are chaotic," Lind said. "They might do anything."
A force can never accept chaos. Even if they can accept hatred and enemies, they cannot accept capricious chaos.
Regarding this point, even Dome and Miram, who had no concept of loyalty, nodded. They could see the contributions that the undead had made to Star Dragon City, but if they saw with their own eyes the horrific scene they were creating at this moment, any rational person would choose to reject the undead.
Linde looked towards the front of the city wall.
Forked streaks of lightning tore through the black clouds above their heads. Dazzling blue-purple lightning flashed close to the ground, seeming to burn people's eyes blind. Under the illumination of the lightning lashing the ground, they also managed to see their enemies clearly.
About three or four kilometers away, the open ground had been rooted by the shaking corpses. They swayed in the storm like a meadow made of corpses.
Rumble, the thunder was heard at this time, but the lightning in front had already disappeared.
Now, there are only three or four hundred people defending Star Dragon City, and the undead in Star Dragon City will not obey Lind's orders during the war. They all rushed out at the first opportunity.
The undead people did not form any formation. It was a fantasy to let a group of people who had never received formal military training form a military formation. Moreover, the difference in power types and strengths between them was huge. Instead, a small-scale loose formation fighting on their own and assisting each other from time to time was more in line with their fighting style.
"I know what you mean." Lind said, "But, they will come."
As long as you survive in this world, you will never be able to avoid the undead, no matter if they are NPCs or red-named wild monsters.
Rather than waiting until the day he was discovered and pushed aside by the undead as a boss, Lind believed that the identity he had created as the chief of the novice village was still a success.
Just like now, this scene is so much like the undead entering the dungeon.
But the one standing on the city wall had another immortal charging into battle.
Although we do not have an advantage in numbers, we have a great advantage in combat effectiveness.
The war began and the two sides collided.
The spellcaster is at a great disadvantage in this obviously biased storm environment, as both the difficulty of condensing the flames and the accuracy of throwing the fireballs are affected.
When it hits an enemy, flames explode, but the fire cannot spread.
In comparison, the two-headed man performed very stably. With his strong body and vibration ability, he easily knocked over a group of enemies after rushing into the undead camp. The undead with loose bones could hardly withstand the constant vibration of their bodies.
"The fifth one!"
The hidden blade successfully pierced the chest of a necromancer.
The hidden figure of the Secret Rune Messenger appeared in front of the Undead Necromancer because of the active attack. The hidden blade's critical hit increased the weakness, and the Necromancer's body was very fragile, so one blow would kill him.
Looking at the white-robed hooded figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, the necromancer swallowed his saliva and said, "Fuck, so handsome."
Even though he killed himself, it was really cool.
Bang! The necromancer's body exploded and turned into ashes.
The corpses he was controlling also lost control and scattered all over the place.
The hidden blade retracted with a "click", the secret pattern messenger bent down, and his figure quickly disappeared from the battlefield.
The storm was getting more and more violent. The fighting on the battlefield could no longer be heard. The sound of raindrops hitting armor covered everything.
Only when lightning flashed could they see the battlefield in complete chaos.
The undead on the Star Dragon side are very crazy. The price of the path potion is not expensive for them, and the main city is right behind them. They can be resurrected even if they die, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
However, the enemy had too great an advantage in numbers. Ranged wizards were unable to perform their duties, and melee fighters were dragged into fights with corpses. The war had entered a stalemate.
Only the Secret Pattern Messengers were galloping on the battlefield. The unresponsive corpses became their "haystacks" to hide, and the heavy rain also helped them hide their bodies.
Harvesting again and again has become the happiest time for the Secret Pattern Messenger.
Apart from the advantage of controlling corpses on a large scale, the Necromancer has absolutely no advantages in melee and ranged combat.
Victory is decided?
……
In Star Dragon City, NPCs who were not good at fighting, such as Miko, Brittany, Morena, etc., who received Lind's orders, as well as the blacksmiths, pharmacists, tailors, grooms, etc. all came to the lord's hall.
As a special building that can withstand a fierce battle with a heroic-level abyss boss without collapsing, this is the strongest city wall.
They were protected by Lind's most trusted soldiers.
"I heard it was an undead man?" someone whispered.
Someone immediately echoed: "Those undead people, I know they will be like this, they have no loyalty at all!"
"Sir, there is no need to protect us, go protect the lord!" Someone also shouted to Reed and others. They were different from the undead. In this world where survival was difficult, if Lind could bring them a stable life, they would be loyal to him.
Loyalty is the cheapest thing. As long as Lind is alive, they can use their loyalty to exchange for a stable, happy and busy life. But if Lind dies...will anyone still need such a cheap thing as loyalty?
"Of course I want to go!" It was Pym who spoke. They all wore the same armor and were usually taciturn. Except for a few people like Lind who were familiar with them, most people couldn't tell who was who.
They were also very upset when talking about this matter, but Lind had emphasized that the safety of this group of people must be guaranteed. The city wall could be breached, and even a few of them could die in battle, but the craftsmen must be alive.
They were very happy to die for Lind. After all, Lind had come to save them countless times before. But now they had lost this opportunity in order to protect this group of craftsmen. Of course, Pym and others were very unhappy.
Miss Brittany, whose figure has gradually become plump since she chose to follow Lind, is also a little worried. She likes life here very much.
Moreover, she had experienced this scene before, but it was Lind who captured Holy Water Town last time, so why couldn't it be Lind who was defeated this time?
"What's wrong?" Brittany suddenly heard a slight noise beside her. She turned around and found the ghost witch Morena leaning against the chair with her mouth open and her eyes rolled up.
His body was shaking rapidly and violently, and an extremely suppressed sound came out of his throat.
Smoke escaped from her and formed a blurry image in the air that looked a lot like Morena herself.
It was like her soul was being pulled out of her body.
"Help her!" Miss Micko reacted quickly. She jumped to Morena's side as nimbly as a rabbit and took out a bottle of potion.
When Brittany subconsciously reached out to support Morena, Miko quickly uncorked the bottle of potion and brought it to Morena's lips.
After taking the energy potion, Morena's condition improved a little.
She took out another bottle.
After drinking three bottles, Morena's trembling was finally calmed down.
"How are you?" Mike asked.
"Cough cough!" Morena was coughing, her eyes were still a little dazed, but her consciousness seemed to have recovered.
Brittany raised her hand and gently patted her back to help her relieve the tightness in her chest.
"Zasa!" Morena grabbed Miko's wrist, excited, "Zasa's messenger!"
Zasa?
The entire lord's hall was suddenly in chaos.
The Kingdom of Rand believes in the Proof of the Sun, and the Church of the Sun has taken root and blossomed in every place where humans have set foot on this land.
Although the other two gods are not as famous as the Sun Proof, they are also considered to be beings that must be respected.
The Moon Witch is also the deity along the path that Miko is taking.
There is another one, Zasa, the god of death.
According to legend, Zaza has no followers and all people run away from Him throughout their lives, but all people will run to Him.
"It should be just a wizard from the path of death," Brittany said calmly, "Nothing special."
Everyone slowly calmed down their excitement. Just like Brittany said, they were just wizards of the path of death. More than half of the people at the scene possessed extraordinary powers. Moreover, there were undead people in Star Dragon City, those terrifying monsters that could not be killed no matter what.
Even the god of death would be helpless in the face of them.
"How did you know?" Miko asked.
"I" Morena frowned tightly, "I seemed to have heard a voice when I took the potion before. I didn't hear clearly what it was at that time, but I heard it again this time."
She looked towards the city gate, and her sight seemed to have penetrated the wall and seen something there: "Zasa! I might also be a wizard of the Death Path."
……
Lind stood on the city wall holding a broken sword. Although his body was not burning with flames, the high temperature evaporating the rain caused white mist to burst out of his body.
The thick fog, like white fireworks, flew away under the pull of the storm.
He suddenly thought of the ancient battlefield west of the Red Dragon Mountains, a ruined area that the undead had once been unable to approach.
There is a body of water there, and it is shrouded in thick fog all day long. If you come uninvited, you will be swallowed by the terrifying flames that dominate your sight.
Flames evaporate water and create thick fog.
If my guess is correct, there might be an extremely terrifying source of fire hidden there, or... a cursed weapon that is no less powerful than the [Banshee Horn]!
Speaking of cursed weapons, Lind reached for his waist.
Just in case, he brought out the Banshee Horn. The countless sacrifices of the undead helped him gain more than 20 opportunities to use it. Maybe this was a good opportunity for an experiment? Although he hoped that he would never have the opportunity to use it.
Undead mages were overthrown one after another, and the undead on the side of Star Dragon had taken control of the battle.
The circle was shrinking rapidly. The corpses lying loosely on the ground mixed with the pool of rainwater, forming a disgusting sea of corpses.
"Sir!" Lance had the sharpest vision. As a sharpshooter, his eyes were what he was most proud of: "A corpse has stood up!"
With the Necromancer around, the corpses will of course stand up.
"Get ready!" Linde seemed to have expected this. He said calmly, "We must defend the city wall!"
The broken sword, which was as wide as a palm, began to burn after Lind clenched his hand tightly. The pouring rain poured on the sword, stirring up hot mist.
Lind looked into the distance. There was a figure in the darkness. Perhaps it was because of the four emblems, or perhaps it was because of the noble blood's sensitivity to magic, Lind caught the existence of the hidden figure.
At the end of the battlefield!
One, hero!
And the other party’s target is also me.
But being a hero alone is not enough. Lind stepped onto the battlement, grabbed the broken sword with his right hand and held it on his shoulder. The flames erupted from his body and rushed upwards madly. Even the burning rain could not extinguish them.
At that moment, Lind's body was hit by a series of curses, as if an invisible gravity hammer hit Lind's shoulders and back, trying to force him to his knees on the ground.
Lind leaped down from the city wall. The loud sound he made when he landed was like thunder, and the sight of flames bursting out of his body also attracted the attention of the undead on the battlefield.
The forces of Kazhan Town, the undead people attacking the city are now very anxious, because they suddenly found that all the corpses under their control are out of control!
Bug? Or something else?
Without their corpses, they were not much stronger than an ordinary level 10 and were easily slaughtered by the undead from the Star Dragon side.
At this moment, the burly golden general with flames burning all over his body on the city wall in front suddenly jumped down.
Why are you dancing so coolly? Is the BOSS coming?
Wait, we've already been killed, there's no need for us to show up.
"Fuck me!"
"what's the situation?"
Everyone from Kazhan Town couldn't help but swear.
It's normal that the other party has been marked as a red name.
But why does he have two health bars? !
