Chapter 119: Trial and Crazy Ideas
A series of enhanced spells eased the situation. Li Qing landed on the top of the city wall and quickly opened the door to the divine realm while Zhang Chunyi and others were shocked. The Dragon Guardian Dragon Spell rushed out, followed by a large number of dragon vein snake people and well-equipped troops.
He came before the four War Lord apprentices and said loudly:
"If you don't want to die, keep fighting. Now I need to take over the command of all your troops. Do you have any objections?"
Everyone finally reacted, and Zhang Chunyi immediately nodded and said:
"No problem. I will give you the command of all my subordinates."
The other three apprentices also nodded, and Li Qing immediately received the command authority prompts they submitted.
Without hesitation, he took over the four temporary command positions and immediately put his powerful strategic talent to work on these troops.
Strategic Talent: Ancient Dragon, increases subordinates' physique by 100%, strength by 100%, extra recovery by 100%, extra endurance by 100%, resistance by 100%, immunity to negative effects equal to the rank of the troop.
Strategic Talent: Divine Creature LV1: Increase subordinates' physique by 30%, strength by 30%, speed by 30%, resistance by 30%, immunity to hypnosis and fear.
With the two combined, the talent alone can increase the subordinates' physical strength and resistance by 130%.
It is worth mentioning that this resistance bonus refers to the percentage bonus of one's own basic resistance.
The hero's basic resistance is 25%, plus 130% is 25% * 230% = 57.5% resistance.
The immunity characteristic of the Ancestral Ancient Dragon refers to the equivalence of the ranks of the troops. The troops are immune to negative states of the same level as their troop types.
For example, if the soldier type is first-level infantry, he can only be immune to first-level negative states and spells.
If the troops are promoted to the fifth-level Imperial Elite Strange Sword Soldiers, they will be immune to all negative status and spell effects of the fifth level and below.
If it is level six, then it is immune to level six.
Very simple, crude and powerful.
If you want to resist these undead with your current strength, you must consolidate command and use your strategic talents and strategic attributes to strengthen your subordinates before you can resist.
With his enhanced talent, a first-level infantryman can be used as a third-level infantryman, and the increase in strength is outrageous.
The reason why Li Qing did not continue to hide and wait for trouble to come was mainly because he considered that he had too few manpower.
There are only about four thousand troops in total, which is too few compared to the undead.
To fish in troubled waters, one must have a certain level of strength. If the gap in forces is too big, you won't be able to catch the fish even if you have them.
There are more than a dozen apprentices in this enclosed underground space, each of whom can gather two to three thousand people, and all together they can form a force of forty to fifty thousand.
With so many troops becoming extremely powerful thanks to his talent bonus, he has the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
After dealing with these four people, Li Qing sent a notice through Zhong Haiying's divine domain to all the apprentices hiding somewhere in the entire underground space, asking them to gather here.
After doing this, he ignored me.
They definitely won't believe it at this stage, but as long as you show enough strength and let them see hope, they will naturally come over.
As for whether the two undead armies would join forces to clear the area first, Li Qing felt that the possibility was not very high.
He would not mobilize all the troops at the beginning, and Zhong Haiying's divine domain could not bear 40,000 or 50,000 troops. Now about 10,000 people were already very crowded.
If someone comes later, don't mobilize the troops yet, just maintain the current status.
As long as the scale is not large, it will not attract the attention of the Mage City-State and the Scourge Lord.
In order to better defend, Li Qing immediately created two city walls with a width and height of 20 meters and a length of more than 300 meters in the space in his palm, and placed them outside Zhong Haiying's current divine domain city wall and just put them down.
The city wall weighing tens of thousands of tons pressed down, directly crushing the skeleton zombies that were attacking the city into bone powder meat patties.
After the space in the palm was repaired a little, the opening was expanded from ten meters to twenty meters, making it easier for larger objects to enter and exit.
Unfortunately, this is in the underground world. If it were on the surface, he would fly tens of thousands of meters into the sky and drop a few meteorites to clear the area.
The dome of this underground world is only about two thousand meters high, and the kinetic energy of the fall is not enough to form an impact that can pose a sufficient threat to the underground world.
The following battle returned to its previous state, with the four war lord apprentices' subordinates acting as cannon fodder in the front, while the mage corps and long-range shooters could stay in the back and release various area spells with peace of mind.
There are nearly nine hundred dragon vein snakemen in total, all of whom are above level three, forty percent are level four or five, and there are already sixty or seventy level six dragon vein snakemen.
He divided the nine hundred dragon vein snake people into three groups and had them take turns to fight on the city wall.
It is worth mentioning that when Zhong Haiying’s divine domain was deployed, he deliberately chose a corner at the edge of the underground space, with one and a half sides leaning against the stone wall and only two and a half sides facing the enemy.
The dragon vein snake people either used fireballs or fire walls, and occasionally rained fire. All the corpses of the skeleton zombies were burned, and they could not accumulate at all.
The newly transferred hero sent out an army of abominations. A dozen level six dragon vein snakemen teamed up to cast the Pyroblast technique. The Pyroblast focused fire like a missile and easily blew the abominations to pieces.
Even the Scourge Lord cannot have as many Abominations as he wants, and the main force is not here, so the number that can be mobilized is limited.
After being killed in large numbers, most of the remaining skeletons and zombies had no chance of attacking the city wall.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Li Qing sent Long Shou and Long Fa to leave the castle and go to other places in the underground space to pick up people.
When they stabilized the situation and showed the possibility of survival, the scattered apprentices of the war lords came over here one after another.
Of course, the more cannon fodder the better. As long as they are willing to temporarily hand over command and hand over more than 2,000 cannon fodder troops, they can get his protection.
With more than a dozen war lord apprentices, each with 2,000 cannon fodder, they could easily gather more than 30,000 cannon fodder.
Together with the four war lord apprentices who followed him at first, who numbered over 10,000, and his own over 4,000, a total of nearly 50,000 troops.
It is still too early to say whether we can fish in troubled waters. After all, we still don't know how much strength the winner will have left after the fight between the two undead. But it won't be a problem to use it to break through head-on and escape at that time.
but……
After holding off the Undead Army for almost half a day, the Scourge Lord, who had suffered heavy losses after a long siege, noticed something was wrong and looked over here. After a long silence, he said:
"We can't let the human war lords take advantage of the situation."
After a while, he sent a mage hero to bring his words to the new lich of the Undead City-State.
Speaker Canovino quickly responded:
"A week's truce!"
The Scourge Lord Salar responded calmly:
“It only takes one day!”
Speaker Canovino was silent for a moment, then replied:
"The Supreme Lord is the witness. A one-day ceasefire is declared."
The two warring parties slowly retreated and confronted each other about a hundred meters away. The Scourge Lord Salar immediately mobilized part of the main force to gather outside the Mage City-State.
He has several main heroes under his command, three independent Scourge heroes, over a hundred abominations, and a legion of nearly a thousand flesh and blood puppets.
In addition to these elite troops, there are also large-scale ghoul armies, tens of thousands of ghost armies, and tens of thousands of flying undead birds, plus more than 200,000 skeletons and zombies.
Almost all the main forces came out in full force.
When Li Qing discovered that this huge force of undead was gathering towards the Divine Realm Castle, he was stunned.
"This... is too decisive!"
You want to take advantage of the situation, but the enemy doesn't give you the chance and clears the area first.
It is obvious that this Scourge Lord is much stronger than the indigenous heroes and will not give you any chance at all.
Other people in the city also discovered the gathering of the main force of the undead. They gathered around Li Qing and asked in panic:
"Sir Li Qing, the main force of the Undead is coming. What should we do?"
Li Qing pinched his chin and said nothing.
At this time, he had recovered from his surprise and began to think about his next strategy.
He was not panicking. There was nothing to panic about. He was even a little eager to make a move.
Li Qing's self-confidence was overflowing as he tried out the power of the ancient dragon, and he came up with some crazy ideas.
At this time, he was thinking about the feasibility of this crazy idea and whether it had any possibility of success.
And thinking turns out to be possible.
He was too strong at this moment.
The hexagonal warrior, who had all four talents of the descendants of gods maxed out, awakened the power of the ancient dragon, which was even more perverted than that of the descendants of gods. With the two combined, he could easily kill an ordinary sixth-order extraordinary being in seconds.
The fact that a breath of dragon breath killed a sixth-level skeleton mage hero instantly was enough to prove it.
Because of this, he came up with this crazy idea -
Is it possible to use decapitation tactics to kill the Scourge Lord amidst thousands of troops?
Failure is fine, at least I have the ability to save my life and running away is not a problem.
Once you succeed, it feels great.
He killed the Scourge Lord in the battle formation and destroyed the divine domain of a potential Scourge Lord. Even if he couldn't get any destiny points, the gains would definitely make his strength surge.
"Fortune and honor come from risk, let's do it!"
Li Qing quickly made up his mind and turned to the war lord apprentices present and said:
"I am going to implement a decapitation tactic on the Lord of the Scourge. You should prepare your own troops and be sure to defend the Divine Realm until I return."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and some even subconsciously scratched their ears, thinking they had heard it wrong.
Zhang Chunyi asked in surprise:
"Sir Li Qing, do you want to launch a surprise attack and behead the Lord of the Calamity?"
"Is this... too risky?"
He said this very gently, and Li Qing had shown his powerful strength before. If someone else said this, their first reaction would definitely be to think that he was crazy.
Li Qing nodded seriously and said:
"Yes, I am very confident, and even if I fail, I am absolutely sure to escape safely."
Everyone was speechless.
I don’t know what to say, how to persuade, or even whether to persuade.
Seeing that no one objected, Li Qing said:
"Since no one objects, let's follow the plan. When the enemy approaches the city, I will attack. Now, prepare the troops in your divine domain so they can be summoned at any time when needed."
After giving the order, Li Qing also entered his own divine domain and asked his men to get ready.
Especially the Lava Crystal Dragon, who will be needed later to attract the attention of the Scourge Lord.
Not long after, the Undead front-line cannon fodder skeleton army gradually approached the city, mixed in with a large number of abominations and bone siege vehicles, and a large number of ghosts mixed in with the undead birds, gathering into a large dark cloud and rushing towards the direction of the Divine Realm city.
Li Qing opened the gate to the divine realm immediately. The lava crystal dragon, covered in high temperature, crawled out of the gate to the divine realm outside the city, raised its head and roared, and rushed straight towards the army of undead.
The upper dragons instantly attracted the enemy's attention. The Scourge Lord at the back of the battlefield saw the Lava Crystal Dragon and his eyes lit up. He shouted in surprise:
"It's actually a high-ranking dragon!"
At the same time, the three-headed lich Canovino, who was watching this side through the core mage tower, also saw the lava crystal dragon through the mage tower.
The central head remained silent, while the head on the left shouted loudly:
"Canovino, do you regret it?"
The head on the right also said:
"If it is an ordinary dragon bloodline, it may not be as good as a lich for us, but the blood of the upper dragon can make us become dragons. The blood of this upper dragon is enough for us to awaken the upper dragon bloodline. With our strength, we can quickly tap into the power of the bloodline and complete the transformation into a dragon."
"By turning into a true dragon, we can leave this plane fragment that has no future and go to other planes with rich resources with the power of the school."
The head on the left shouted again:
"Canovino, you are the sinner of the school."
"Shut up!"
The invisible force field exploded, and the two heads on the left and right could no longer speak.
The central head was silent for a moment, then spoke word by word:
"Only the strength of the soul and will can be eternal. We cannot succumb to worldly desires. Only by giving up these unimportant things can we become stronger and submit to the Lord of Calamity. We can access more knowledge, easily travel to more planes, and plunder more resources to strengthen our school."
"I am not wrong, I will not be wrong, time will prove that my choice is right!"
On the battlefield, when the lava crystal dragon appeared, the Scourge Lord Salar was surprised and gave orders to transfer more elite troops from the rear, especially the huge abominations.
At the same time, he ordered his elite guards to gather with the heroes to kill this superior dragon and then revive him using advanced psychic techniques.
The Scourge Lord has the means to keep the resurrected corpse growing, but it comes at a huge price, and the potential of a high-level dragon is enough to make the price worthwhile.
Li Qing has been observing the Undead Scourge. At this moment, the Scourge has an absolute advantage, so its command center naturally does not need to be secretive.
When he saw his elite guards and numerous flesh and blood puppets gradually approaching, he snapped his fingers.
A Flesh Golem is also a type of golem, made of flesh and steel.
To put it simply, it is to use steel as the skeleton, fill it with flesh and blood, and then resurrect with necromancy.
The thickness of the steel skeleton and the quality of the flesh and blood it fills in are different, so the strength of the flesh and blood puppets produced also fluctuates.
The weak ones are inferior to Rock Golems, while the strong ones are stronger than Rock Golems.
Because they are resurrected using undead magic, their essence is similar to that of zombies and do not require complex magic arrays to drive them. The difficulty and cost of making flesh puppets are very low, even lower than clay puppets, so they can be manufactured on a large scale.
Li Qing only managed to make more than a hundred of them, but this Lord of Calamity made thousands of them, the scale is not on the same level.
But if a real fight breaks out, Li Qing can defeat more than a thousand flesh and blood puppets head-on with the more than one hundred rock golems and twenty-six steel golems at his disposal.
The iron golem, made entirely of steel, is too strong and the flesh puppets can't defeat it at all.
