Chapter 417 Base vehicle, deploy!
"It's finally here!"
Lind issued an order to assemble, and all the undead people selected by him and passed the "political review" gathered together, a total of 3000 people.
These 3000 people meet multiple characteristics, such as being lawful, hardworking, and having extremely long online time.
Some uncontrollable undead must be eliminated, no matter how strong the opponent is. This time Linde goes to the magic land to find a stronger potion to upgrade. He has to face unknown enemies, and internal chaos and disobedience will cause problems.
Of course, he did not kill them directly with one blow, but gave hope to the undead people who remained. They still had the opportunity to take part in the second expedition as long as they performed well.
So, work hard for the development of the Rand Kingdom.
Almost all the undead at the top of the rankings are in the team, including some video bloggers with a large fan base, including post-production and live broadcast bloggers. Lind must ensure that he often appears in the eyes of the undead, and no one can replace him and become the most special NPC.
The identity of NPC is the most secure one among his many identities.
The Lord of Ashes.
The undead people wearing heavy armor followed Lind up the volcano. Looking at the volcano that was like a boiling cauldron, their hearts began to beat fast.
"Jump like this?"
"It won't turn into charcoal directly."
“I think there’s a plot.”
They all looked at Lind. The only person they could trust at this time was Lind, the NPC.
But Lind was not quite sure in his heart. Fortunately, it was similar to what the Crystal Mage and others said. Although they have not returned to the magic land in this way since the magic ring was broken, the basic method is not wrong.
"Hand in hand!" Linde shouted.
Three thousand fully armed undead men, holding hands obediently like kindergarten children, stared at Lind together.
The chains spreading out from Lind's body tied up Tionie, William, and a group of undead behind them.
What a long centipede.
The ground began to bubble, and then Lind felt the ground beneath his feet sinking. The undead he was dragging let out an "ah" and also dived into the ground.
The undead people watching from afar could only stare with curiosity and envy as a long line of undead holding hands were quickly dragged into the volcano and disappeared.
Later, some people rushed to look for them but couldn't find them.
It was Lind's first time to ride the "Express" of the magical world. He asked Micko and others about the riding experience, but everyone's expression was so strange, and it was obvious that the riding experience was not good.
There is no detailed reminder about when to arrive at the station.
The "idealism" of magic makes them only able to say, "You have arrived when you see the blue world."
Lind took a deep breath before his body completely merged into the soil. He opened his eyes when he was sure that he was not suffocating, only to find that it was pitch black in front of him.
There was no discomfort at all, as if the body had entered the warm amniotic fluid of the mother's womb, and endless power was nourishing the body.
I can't hear anything and I can't make any sound when I speak.
However, the sense of touch of the body existed, and he felt as if he was inside the body of an earthworm twisting and turning in the mud, suddenly moving upwards and then suddenly moving downwards.
Twisting and twisting, it is impossible to determine the direction.
This is underground, so it seems meaningless to determine the direction.
He reached for a hand along the chain. The fingers were long and slender, and judging from the direction, it could only be Tione's.
He still has complicated feelings towards his "fiancée" Lind. She seems to have emotional problems and remains simply curious about everything in the world, but not in-depth.
As everyone knows, Lind only plays the emotional card with NPCs, and will not hesitate to give benefits to those who are willing to share hardships with him.
For those who refuse to repent, he will use his two-handed sword to hit their head with the New Year's greeting sword technique.
It's hard to deal with people without emotions.
The fragments of the walking human-shaped magic ring are shining with golden light, but if you hurt her, she might run away.
Time has no meaning here. Lind can determine the number of undead through the chains. Every once in a while, an undead will disappear, but they will reappear after a while.
It seems that even if he goes online or offline, he will not return to Xilu Continent.
Linde breathed a sigh of relief.
He had no way to calculate time, but he could look at the official website and observe the progress of the Rand Kingdom.
The Red Knights have begun their second expedition, with the goal of driving the greenskins to the Great Tundra, where they plan to build a wall.
The undead were very enthusiastic and seemed more interested in using ice to build the wall than using bricks and stones, but they had to give up because the conditions were not suitable.
But the Undead built multiple defenses and successfully turned the war against the Greenskins into a tower defense game.
The Black Marsh Kingdom's advance continues.
"Welcome to this week's episode of 'Character Profiles'. This time we're introducing the character Melulan."
"Melulan was once the queen of the Black Swamp Kingdom. She was also the daughter of the kingdom's great lord and had many supporters. The emperor of the Black Swamp Kingdom was afraid that Melulan would have connections with the supporters of the territory, so he chose to imprison her until Melulan disappeared many years ago."
"Melulaan reappeared in the Kingdom of Rand. She was the queen served by the mysterious 'Black Knight'. Because we have limited information, we don't know much about the 'Black Knight'. This character is also relatively flat. We can only be sure that he is a very powerful warrior who once defeated the vampires by himself and tore the Scarlet King apart with his bare hands."
"All the undead in the Land Kingdom know that Queen Rania is lawful and good. She refuses to trade with chaotic and evil undead. If she is accidentally discovered, she will be hunted down. From the beginning of the newly established Scarlet City, Melulan represents the evil and chaotic forces. There will be no restrictions on what you can do under her."
"..."
"The Rand Kingdom's attack on Thousand Faces City was thwarted. According to the intelligence we obtained from the inside, it was Melulan who successfully invaded Thousand Faces City, but things did not seem to develop in the direction of good and evil as we imagined. Melulan announced to the outside world that the Black Swamp Kingdom would become a vassal state of the Rand Kingdom."
Linde looked at Melulan's biography and didn't expect Melulan to act so quickly.
And when he saw someone in the barrage guessing "Has Lind already taken down Melulan?", he couldn't help but be surprised that someone actually understood him so well!
However, there are still only a few sober people, and the vast majority of people think it is impossible.
"Linde is obviously comparable to the Black Knight. I don't know if the Black Knight has any hidden plots, but it's probably difficult. Linde's character is too close to the son, and no one can surpass him in the plot. Melulan and Rania are comparable. It's better to say that he took down Rania than to say that he took down Melulan."
"There are other masters?" Lind was surprised that the undead knew him so well.
He not only won over Raniya, but also Melulan. The difference is that he and Melulan had a very pure relationship of trust and there was no other communication.
The main reason was that he didn't really like corpses...even those that had been resurrected from the dead.
Melulan developed the Black Marsh Kingdom into a dark and chaotic country, which is completely opposite to the light and order of the Rand Kingdom, but the two sides cooperated with each other stably. Of course, the best experience was the undead, and they became more active in purchasing reconnaissance wards and placing eyes.
This again brings up the fact that Lind left the [Gold Seal] behind in order to maintain the operation of the Novice Village. Now the two countries are still seeing a steady stream of people "reincarnating", and the number is still growing steadily.
Lind only has 3000 undead people around him, so he can handle it by himself.
While traveling, Lind could not feel the time, but he did not have to worry about the wear and tear of his body and excretion. It seemed that all living things here did not need to worry about maintenance.
The only hand that communicates with the outside world is the hand that the left hand is holding.
Perhaps feeling bored as well, after an unknown amount of time had passed since Linde let go of his hand, Theo took the hand he was holding and tried to communicate by tickling his fingers and palms.
Until light appeared ahead and I could finally see.
Lind turned around and found that they came from a golden bubble, and the "underground tunnel worm" they were in was a creature similar to a desert worm.
Countless golden bubbles were squeezed together like soap bubbles, and underground tunnel worms carried them and crawled between the edges of the bubbles.
There were bubbles of different colors and sizes such as red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. Soon Lind saw the "blue" bubbles not too far away.
He tried to communicate with the underground tunnel worm, but his voice could not be heard. This thing was not obedient. But since it was alive, could it be tamed with the Soul-Lost Chain?
The chain extended outward along with Lind's consciousness, forming an inward-wrapped iron cocoon inside the body of the underground tunnel worm.
The manipulation failed, but the chain successfully pierced the body of the underground tunnel worm and allowed him to grab the head of the underground tunnel worm.
Just like a cow with a nose ring, Lind used subtle manipulation to force the underground tunnel worms that had been moving forward to change direction due to the traction.
After approaching the blue bubble, Lind suddenly exerted force to make the underground tunnel worm crash into it, although he remembered that the crystal wizards had said that as long as they reached the destination, they could leave the tunnel worm's body by "jumping out of the car".
But Lind thought of a more critical problem. If he lost this tunnel worm and couldn't find a second tunnel worm in the devil's land, wouldn't he be trapped in the devil's land for the rest of his life?
So it is better to take action directly, even if you have to use force to get a tunnel worm first.
The tunnel worm suddenly lost control and crashed into the blue bubble with everyone.
My consciousness seemed to be taken away in an instant, and the air around my body began to become sticky again, as if I had entered a quagmire.
The suffocating feeling disappeared only after passing through the blue bubble.
The vision returned to darkness, and at the same time, Tione's hand grabbed over again.
Gumbling.
Somewhere, in the yellow sand, the ground began to spew out bubbles, and a huge transparent insect suddenly broke through the ground and flew out, falling heavily to the ground.
Curled up and twisted.
"Cough cough!"
Figures emerged from the insect's mouth. "Is this the new map?" someone exclaimed.
"It doesn't look like anything special."
Linde stepped on the sand with one foot deep and one foot shallow, which was a little different from what he expected. He did not arrive directly at the Tianxing Magic School, but came to the desert.
desert?
He took out the map given by the Crystal Mage.
"No desert?"
Is it that the Demonic Land is so huge that even the Crystal Mage knows about it, or is it that they have not reached the Demonic Land at all?
It’s not a big problem. As long as the underground tunnel worm is in my hands, I can go back anytime.
Lind stood beside the underground tunnel worm and kept tying it up with the Soul-Loss Chain, forming a wriggling iron chain "Express".
"What is that?" Someone observed a huge black figure hovering overhead in the sky. The figure was about the same size as the flying dragon Alex.
But it looks more ferocious than a flying dragon.
"The cunning soul-pecker? It doesn't look very high level."
not tall?
Lind immediately noticed something was wrong. The aura emanating from this thing was not right.
A cluster of flowing fire flew over, and William, who had already noticed it, rushed forward, touched the ground with his toes and jumped into the air. He grabbed the sword with both hands and slashed it upwards. The flowing fire was shattered after touching the sword arc and turned into a rain of fire all over the sky.
What a red rainstorm! Looking up at the sky, my sight is dominated by the fiery red rain.
The undead reacted immediately by taking out their shields or using barrier magic to block.
"Fuck, such high damage!" An undead gritted his teeth and held on, but the shield he hastily took out became bumpy under the gnawing of flames.
Fortunately, shields have always been disposable props for the undead, and they are accustomed to equipping several of them.
Really high damage.
Lind raised his hand and felt the flame falling on his palm. The power had at least reached the level of the first ring!
The great knights under him would not be able to reach the first ring if they had limited talent.
Among the upper-ranking knights, only a few can reach the second ring.
Currently, the only one in the territory who has third-ring mana and combat power is the flying dragon Alex. William can also barely be counted as third-ring, but he is definitely not Alex's opponent.
The Red Knight can barely be considered a 3rd ring.
Wen Raven could barely unleash the strength of a 4th ring, but that was just barely. The Crystal Mage, on the other hand, was an academic, just as he said himself.
The strongest in the entire territory must be Lind. If he is in the magma, covered in moonlight, holding swords in both hands, using black flames at the same time, with various amplifications and so on, he should be able to burst out the power of 5 rings, but a similar combat environment is difficult to create. If it is within the territory of the Rand Kingdom, it will be okay, as he also has the advantage of fighting on his own land.
Looking at William who was hit by the Flowing Fire, he fought hard and defeated the Flowing Fire. The power of the Flowing Fire must be at the 2nd ring.
Aerial combat was not for William.
I didn’t expect that the “son of version” in the Novice Village continent would be so fragile when he first stepped onto the real big stage.
Lind was once again thankful that he did not bring those ordinary NPCs and the Rand Legion with him, otherwise a strange bird accidentally passing by in the sky would have wiped out their entire army.
When the magic ring collapses, it is impossible that only the continent where ordinary people live will change. The more powerful world must be full of crises.
The Soul-Pecked Bird in the sky swooped down, its wings burning with flames, like a small, flying volcano crashing towards them.
The wind pressure blew up the desert dust under our feet, greatly obstructing our vision.
The sand beneath their feet began to shake wildly, and they felt like they were in a small boat in a storm, unable to stand steadily.
An undead wizard lost his balance and was blown away by the wind, and the scene became more and more chaotic.
Lind immediately said: "Prepare for defense and protect the underground tunnel worms!"
It was obvious that the other party was coming for the underground tunnel worms. It seemed that it was necessary for the underground tunnel worms to hide underground all the time.
However, Lind still did not change his idea of "using the public bus for personal purposes". He needed underground tunnel worms that could travel freely around the world.
The confused undead people reacted immediately after hearing Lind's order.
Emergency mission, here comes the mission!
So what are the mission rewards?
Okay, no reward.
Maybe it's because this is a plot that must be experienced.
Rays of light flickered, and the undead took the initiative to block the Soul-Pecker's way. Then, chaotic magic and various long-range props were thrown madly, and the colorful lights broke the Soul-Pecker's wings.
The bulky body fell in the distance of the desert, causing the ground to shake.
"Go! Its position has been destroyed!" The undead are best at beating a fallen dog.
Lind always felt that something was wrong, but when he thought about the 3000 most elite undead on his side, he could kill it even if they stacked their numbers.
The undead people rushed forward to attack, vividly performing a war between ants and elephants.
The Soul-Pecker struggled for a while, flipped over the undead, and flew high into the sky again.
"Don't chase!"
I am unfamiliar with the place and I am not even sure where I am now.
Remember not to chase an enemy who is desperate.
The undead were even more obedient than Lind had imagined. Even Lada, who had always believed that Lind was an "NPC who would definitely be eliminated", chose to be obedient.
It is obviously the plot BOSS. If we don't let him go now, how will the plot develop in the future? We at Undying Man care most about the performance experience.
Of course, there is a more crucial reason.
"You really think we didn't see it. The Soul Pecker only has 8000 HP in total. We fought for a long time and couldn't even break its defense."
"The boss is locking your health. Don't waste time fighting it. It's better to finish the story quickly."
William also walked back, the sword in his hand slightly deformed and twisted.
"Sir" William walked back to Lind and seemed to be in normal condition.
"How is it?" Lin De turned his head to glance at Tionne, who had remained quiet since just now.
"That thing is pretending to be injured, trying to lure us over."
"Yeah, good acting."
All the undead could see was that "the boss had unlocked his health", but what Lind and William saw was that the other party was unharmed. Besides, being lame does not necessarily mean that he has no fighting ability.
"He ran west?"
“Will definitely come back.”
They couldn't imagine that they would be targeted as soon as they arrived in the Demon Land.
Lind looked toward the west, where the sun was about to set.
No one knows what will happen after dark, but it is impossible to move the underground tunnel worms. The underground tunnel worms are now like they are asleep, which makes their transformation speed much faster. Moving rashly may have an impact.
The transformation of the underground tunnel worm is a bit difficult. Although the opponent does not have a very strong will to resist, Lind only has the chain power of the "Upper Lost Soul Knight", which is not enough. I am afraid it will take some time.
But this waste of time is necessary. Once he has dealt with the underground tunnel worms, he will have a "private train" and it will be no problem for him to pick up undead people continuously.
The undead are his true reserve force.
Linde took a deep breath and shouted, "Undead, set up camp where you are!"
The undead who received the order immediately set to work. Building a house was a piece of cake.
Almost everyone has an extra small space barrel that can be quickly unfolded.
Thanks to the mechanism design of 'Dragonhide Armorer' Bard, at Lind's request, although the other party's mechanical research did not make any progress in defense and attack effects, it did a very good job in complicating simple mechanisms.
The 3000 undead men each took out their own space barrels, pulled out the parts and connected them end to end.
Base vehicle, deploy!
A small camp was quickly built, with not only houses for resting but also simple walls for patrolling.
There are also rest areas, trading areas, etc., and there are commanders who can go to the highest point to issue orders at critical moments.
"No matter how many times I see it, it feels so real..." William couldn't help but sigh as he watched the camp that was successfully built in a flash.
"They all don't feel magical." Lind took over his words.
People in the magical world don't feel it's magical, but the undead from Earth think it's too magical.
As long as it works, it doesn't matter whether it's magic or not. Since Lind knew that he had no talent for magic, he completely gave up on this thing. It doesn't matter at all.
William nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.
Thank you for the 1500 reward from Wangshui Lunlian
