Chapter 106: Putting Away the Divine Realm
Li Qing's eyes fell on the place where his hand was drawn, which was located just in the east of the north-central part of the plane. It seemed that it was a snakeman city. Now the snakeman city had been breached long ago. They hollowed out the interior of the city and expanded the divine domain in the city.
In this way, there will be a two-layer city wall defense system.
The first layer is the original wall defense of the snakeman city.
The other layer is the wall system of the divine realm.
If the undead army wants to capture their stronghold, they must first break through the outer defenses before they can attack the inner city defenses.
“Great location!”
Li Qing nodded and his eyes fell on another place in the area.
The ruins of the breached snakeman fortress.
After that place was breached, the entire fortress was razed to the ground and the original site was abandoned.
Although we cannot count on the original city wall defense system, this location is very good. There are cliffs on both sides, one end leads to an underground passage in the valley, and the other end leads to the outside. We can build a base there to expand the divine domain. We only need to defend the inside and outside.
Not to mention that Li Qing had a superior lava crystal dragon in his hand. Once he squatted at the entrance of the canyon passage, the underground races underground could not come up.
Even in the current environment where the entire plane is invaded by the undead, the underground races will not come out for no reason.
In this way, only one passage needs to be defended.
It is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack, a top natural barrier.
It is very simple to put away the divine domain. As long as he is in the core tower of the divine domain, he can choose to separate the divine domain from the plane space and put away the expanded space.
From the outside, it seemed that bright light was floating on the edge of the huge city. The city gradually became blurred and turned into countless streams of light that gathered in the center and condensed into a huge ball of light suspended in the air.
After a while, the ball of light shrank again and a human figure slowly emerged.
When the flowing light is completely integrated into the human form, the appearance of Li Qing hanging in the air can be clearly seen.
The divine domain was retracted, leaving behind an empty space filled with dead leaves.
The ground is not flat, because the divine domain is spread out and covers the entire land. It is a spatial overlap, not that the divine domain is pressing on the land. The ground is not under any pressure at all.
The ground looks the same as it did originally, except that a lot of weeds have grown on it over time.
As the divine domain was withdrawn, Li Qing felt his whole body become relaxed.
In the empty wasteland, besides him and the lava crystal dragon, there was another army of about two hundred fully armed soldiers, including An Erqiu Xiezhu and Long Shoulong Fa.
In theory, one can walk faster alone, but the open air is not like before.
Before the undead invasion, there were few flying creatures in the wild sky, so he could go anywhere on the back of a dragon eagle.
But when the undead invaded, large numbers of undead creatures began to appear in the air.
There are ghosts in the low sky, wild ones, and there are quite a lot of them. These days, when we are clearing out the undead in the wild, we can occasionally see ghosts wandering in the wild in groups of three or two.
There are some undead birds in the sky. They are not from the native plane, but came from the Wind of Chaos. There are quite a few of them and they are quite powerful.
If a person travels alone through the air, it is easy to be discovered and intercepted.
But it's not a big problem anyway. He is strong enough and doesn't have to be afraid of one or two Scourge heroes, as long as he doesn't confront the Scourge Lord head-on.
The team stopped for a while, and An Erqiu adjusted the team. At a command, a vanguard consisting of thirty cavalrymen set off first.
The cavalry team headed west, Li Qing got into a carriage, and the central army followed.
There is no rear guard, because the last one to come is the Lava Crystal Dragon.
This big guy was not put away, but followed the army.
With this big guy following us, even if we are unexpectedly intercepted by the main force of the Undead heroes, we can buy time to open the God's Domain and assemble the main force.
Unfortunately, the lava crystal dragon was too hot. Even with Li Qing's current physical condition, he could only stay around it for a short time. He would not be able to bear it if he stayed around it for too long.
However, he had previously upgraded his divine body to a higher level, which increased his overall physical fitness by 60%, and greatly improved his tolerance to high temperatures.
I guess when the Divine Body reaches LV5, no, LV4 is almost enough, and with a few specialties to enhance resistance, you can ignore the high temperature force field of the Lava Crystal Dragon.
The army set out, the carriage was shaking, Li Qing sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, seemingly resting, but in fact his consciousness had entered the space in his palm, where he was simulating a complex compound magic array that slowed down the magic pattern construction.
No matter how violently the outside shakes, it will not affect the space inside the palm of your hand.
Whether you can produce it is one thing, you need to practice it first.
The space in the palm of your hand can guarantee a sufficient success rate, but the efficiency will not be high if you are not skilled.
Moreover, Li Qing also has his own ideas. Although it is unlikely that he can complete the magic pattern construction in reality due to his clumsy hands, he also has a dream. He always wants to reach a certain level in the future so that he can complete the drawing of the magic pattern construction by himself outside.
The team quickly left the area and came to the river.
The team paused for a moment, and after a cavalry charge that smashed a group of skeletons wandering by the river, the team continued to move forward.
They did not cross the river, but walked on the right side of the river.
On the other side of the river is the area formerly ruled by the snake people. Over the past hundreds of years, all the alien races that had died have crawled out from underground again under the influence of the wind of the undead.
The corpses turned into zombies.
Those who have been dead for too long turn into skeletons.
Those without any bones left become wandering souls, and those with strong soul power turn into ghosts.
Most of these undead gathered on the east bank of the river. The west bank had not been developed, and snake people rarely came here, so the number of accumulated undead was far less than that on the east bank.
A group of elite knights directly defeated the enemy along the way and were not able to match them at all.
Two hours later, Li Qing, who was practicing, heard a knock on the car door, opened his eyes and said in surprise:
"What's up?"
Xie Zhu outside the door said:
"Boss, there's a huge ghost across the river."
Li Qing frowned, interrupted his practice, pushed open the car door and walked out, and found that the team had arrived on the other side of the snakeman town that was first destroyed by the meteorite.
A large pit was created by a meteorite at the original town site opposite, and it was now filled with river water to form a small lake.
On the surface of the lake, countless faint lights condensed from the power of death gathered together and formed a huge ghostly soul body about eight or nine meters tall, floating around unconsciously.
"This is?"
Li Qing looked around in surprise, pondered for a moment, and finally had the answer in his mind.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the remaining souls of the dead snake people and other alien races that gathered together after the town was destroyed.
Each one is very weak and cannot be condensed under normal circumstances .
But now the wind of undead has invaded, and under the influence of the authority of the Lord of Death, these weak remaining souls have begun to gather together, gradually forming a huge spiritual body.
“This thing…”
"We can't let it grow!"
Li Qing pinched his chin and thought for a while, then called Long Shou and Long Fa, pointed at the huge ghost body on the other side of the river and said:
"Go and destroy it."
Long Shoulongfa jumped into the air without saying a word and rushed to the other side of the river.
Logically speaking, this soul would not hinder him, and now they have not discovered them.
What he was worried about was that this giant ghost body would be discovered by the Scourge heroes and then recruited.
Wild undead like this can be recruited by undead heroes as long as they are stronger and of higher rank. It is even easier if they are magic heroes like Lich.
If a big guy like this is recruited and fed with a large number of souls, it is easy to pile up a super-large ghost body similar to a war behemoth, which poses a considerable threat.
Just because he wasn't discovered now doesn't mean he won't be discovered by the Undead Heroes in the future. Since he has encountered them in advance, he naturally has to kill them to avoid future troubles.
Now this giant ghost body has not yet been fully formed, and it only has a shell but does not have enough strength.
Long Shou and Long Fa flew into the air and attacked from both sides. Each of them breathed out dragon's breath and burned it to ashes, leaving only a small ball of light as a trophy.
Li Qing took the spoils and opened it without paying any attention. There was only a card inside.
Pure original spirit: special magical material.
Li Qing, who had been indifferent, suddenly brightened up when he saw this thing.
Superior quality spirits can be used to create extremely advanced golem constructs or the core of a wizard tower.
"nice one!"
He put it away, waved his hand, and the team continued to move forward.
The rest of the journey was the same as before, his subordinates cleared out the wandering wild undead along the way, while he practiced magic pattern construction in the car.
As time passed, the team slowly moved away from the place where they had stayed for more than a year and headed towards the center of the plane.
The road is still quite familiar, but it is more dangerous than before.
Going down the river, the team stopped again when they arrived at a certain section of the river without realizing it.
Li Qing interrupted his practice of opening the car door, just as An Erqiu came over and whispered to him:
"The city ruins across the street seem to be occupied by an undead hero."
The team did not approach the other side of the snakeman city ruins, but was quite far away. From afar, they could see a large amount of death aura gathering there, and streams of gray-white death air swirling in the fog.
Looking from afar, you can vaguely see a large number of undead shadows and some tall bone buildings.
After thinking for a while, Li Qing said to An Erqiu:
"Don't worry about it, just go around and pass by the jungle nearby."
An Erqiu nodded, quickly returned to the front, and led the cavalry to turn a corner and take a detour.
Li Qing turned around and found the lava crystal dragon, opened the door to the divine realm and took Him away.
It was fine when we walked along the river bank before, as there were only some weeds, and the air was filled with too much dead air and moisture, so the weeds burned away and the flames did not spread.
Once we enter the jungle, once the trees start burning, the fire will not be so easy to control.
He didn't want to cross the road and cause a huge wildfire.
However, although he didn't want to get involved, he underestimated the reconnaissance capabilities of the Undead Heroes.
The team passed through a jungle more than a thousand meters away from the stream, but they did not expect that the ghosts wandering in the jungle were not wild ghosts, but reconnaissance troops of undead heroes not far away, and the reconnaissance distance was far beyond his imagination.
Before they had walked halfway, they saw a large number of ghosts gathering in front of them. At the same time, Long Shou, who was flying in the air, also discovered that the undead army on the other side of the river was showing signs of gathering.
"Really are……"
Li Qing was speechless.
I was thinking of letting you go, but you ended up coming to me.
"You are really courting death!"
Li Qing opened the door to the divine realm again. With the deafening roar of a dragon, the lava crystal dragon came out again. The terrifying high-temperature force field caused the surrounding trees to dry up and turn yellow quickly. In less than five seconds, some of the dry trees began to burn.
“Cross the river, but don’t rush in!”
Li Qing signaled the Lava Crystal Dragon to go forward first, and then ordered An Erqiu to lead the current troops to prepare to cross the river.
Then he took Long Shou and Long Fa and flew to the other side of the river. He stopped a few kilometers away from the Undead stronghold and opened the door to the divine domain again. After a while, a group of elite knights wearing dragon scale armor came out and quickly spread out to establish defenses.
Next came out a group of fully armed infantry phalanxes.
The square formation came out and deployed in the front under the command of Long Shou .
Then, groups of infantrymen and archers came out and formed military formations in the open wilderness.
There are about two thousand five hundred troops, including thousands of infantry, thousands of archers, more than two hundred cavalry, nearly two hundred rock golems, more than five hundred dragon vein snakemen, with a total of more than three thousand.
In addition, there are a large number of light catapults.
These catapults were equipped with wheels and could be pushed by two or three soldiers.
The undead on the opposite side only mobilized the undead in one direction, and the total number was about five or six thousand.
Dense swarms of skeletons surged over like a tide, but stopped about a thousand meters away from the vanguard.
In the rear camp, more undead were gathering, and in the center there were several huge bone buildings moving.
These bone buildings are the war weapons of the undead heroes, including siege towers, bone arrow towers, siege vehicles made of bones, and so on.
The two undead heroes had just been teleported to this plane and had not yet started building these siege engines.
In addition to his previous carelessness, he thought that the two heroes together had more than 50,000 undead, so it wouldn't take that much effort to attack a newborn human war lord apprentice.
The result of carelessness was failure, which became one of the negative examples of this plane invasion.
Li Qing did not wait for the enemy to complete their assembly. After summoning his main force out from the gate of the divine realm, he immediately ordered an attack on this group of undead.
At the same time, the lava crystal dragon that had crossed the river through remote communication was approaching this side.
The hero on the undead side was not stupid either. After discovering Li Qing's intention, he immediately ordered the vanguard undead to retreat and join up with the other part of the undead army coming from the main camp.
The human army did not change anything and used the same tactics as in the beginning, with the vanguard running head-on into the Undead army.
Unlike the defenders, the front row was composed of heavy infantry and fifth-level Imperial Dragon Scale Heavy Infantry, mixed with some elite Mo Dao soldiers and third-level elite infantry, forming a solid line of defense to firmly block the first wave of undead.
A large number of archers formed rows of long snake formations and continuously poured down arrows from the rear.
Hundreds of dragon vein snake people stayed further back, constantly casting various spells to bombard from a long distance.
After the previous battle, a large number of Dragon Vein Snake people were promoted to the third level, and many have been promoted to the fourth or even fifth level. They can cast area spells such as fireball and ice storm, and their killing efficiency is extremely amazing.
Although there were a large number of undead, powerful troops such as abominations had been concentrated in the center of the military camp and could not be mobilized in a short time. The surrounding areas were mostly cannon fodder such as skeleton zombies, which were completely unable to resist. The collapse was almost visible to the naked eye.
The elite infantry in the front row cooperated with the spells of the dragon-vein snake men and seemed to be able to push forward.
The lava crystal dragon came from behind and sprayed a breath of dragon hundreds of meters away.
