Chapter 79: Death in Battle and Resurrection
There wasn't much obstruction when we attacked the Mage's Tower, except for a group of gargoyles at the door.
The energy inside the Mage Tower was exhausted, all the mage apprentices had their mana drained and died, all the constructed golems inside the Mage Tower stopped, the internal defenses also lost mana and became ineffective, and the huge Mage Tower became an empty tower.
An Erqiu rushed to the top of the Mage Tower and saw the snake-man mage who was almost turned into a mummy, but was not dead yet.
However, his magic power and mental power were overloaded and he fell into a coma. He was tied up and carried in front of Li Qing, who then chopped him to death with a knife.
This is too risky.
Although theoretically it is possible to slowly conquer them, I don’t know how long it will take.
An extraordinary wizard is too strong. Being able to capture him now does not mean that he can be trapped when he wakes up. The key is that the wizard tower is still running, and the magic circle inside is still slowly accumulating energy.
As long as he accumulates a little bit of energy, the Snakeman Mage can communicate with the Mage Tower to teleport away, and no one can stop him.
Instead of causing trouble, it is better to solve the problem once and for all and just chop it off with one knife.
The dead snakeman wizard also contributed a piece of spoils. Li Qing collected them first and planned to start again after completely occupying the city.
The Mage Tower was occupied, the Grand Lord died, and the defenders in the city collapsed. The next step was to take over the important areas of the city.
The troops did not enter the city, but only took control of a few city gates, a few gaps caused by meteorites, and the docks behind the city.
Li Qing was not idle either. He spent some time repairing the gaps, demolishing the docks, welding the city gates shut, and then dividing the city into small pieces with stone and wooden walls.
What he does next will be cruel.
He wants to massacre the city.
There is no way. There are too few people to control it. To resurrect the Dragon Guardians and Dragon Laws, a large amount of soul essence and flesh and blood essence, as well as a large number of kobolds to refine the dragon bloodline, will be needed.
There are still 70,000 to 80,000 people in the city, of which more than 30,000 are ogre slaves. If they were all killed, they would have enough dragon blood to revive the two of them intact.
In addition, the experience accumulated after massacring the city is enough to upgrade all the subordinates by one or two levels, and to train a group of elite troops.
After completing the preparations, Li Qing, who was standing on the top of the city wall, gave an order and five hundred fully armed soldiers, led by the three brothers An Erqiu and Xie Zhu, divided into four groups and rushed into the city, killing anyone they saw.
To the snake people and other alien races, he is a cruel and bloody executioner and an evil demon king.
But for the War Lord, this is just normal thinking.
It’s not about good or evil, it just depends on which choice is most beneficial to you.
How could unarmed civilians be a match for a fully armed army? Even if their number was ten times greater, it would only make things more difficult for them.
Li Qing stood on the top of the city wall with an expressionless face, coldly looking at the tragic scene below.
At a certain moment, he seemed to sense something and turned his head. Suddenly, there were ripples in the space behind him. He was about to be on guard, but he saw the figure of his mentor walking out from a circle of ripples.
Mentor Nie Yang glanced at the city, then turned his gaze to Li Qing, nodded with a smile on his face and praised:
"You did a great job, the instructor is proud of you!"
Li Qing pulled the corners of his mouth into a stiff smile, but said nothing.
Nie Yang didn't care and said:
"I was just about to use my tutor points to ask the academy to rescue you, but it turned out to be useless."
Hearing this, the stiffness on Li Qing's face eased slightly.
"Although this is not useful, there is one benefit that you will definitely use. I will spend 5 mentor points and ask the Black Stone Tower of the Academy to open a passage to your own divine domain for you. It will last for 72 hours. You can complete the resource plunder as soon as possible and use this transmission channel to return."
Li Qing raised his head in surprise, and finally smiled. He bowed to the instructor and said :
"Thank you for your kindness, teacher."
Nie Yang smiled and waved his hand:
"You're welcome. This is my investment in you. The better you perform, the higher my future earnings will be. It's a win-win situation."
“But I still have to thank the instructor!”
Nie Yang nodded, looked up at the sky and said:
"Get ready to open it."
He asked Li Qingdao:
"Where are you going to place the portal?"
Li Qing pointed to the largest square below the city wall:
"Here, next to the city wall."
As soon as he finished speaking, the space in the direction he pointed began to distort, and soon a huge light gate formed by a transparent halo took shape.
The light gate is oval in shape, twenty meters high and about twelve meters wide, large enough to accommodate a large siege vehicle.
The portal lasts for 72 hours, which is three days and three nights.
"enough."
Li Qing thanked the instructor, and Nie Yang nodded and said:
"One more thing. Do you have any intention of selling this wizard tower? If so, I can help you deal with it."
Li Qing paused and said:
"You can sell it, but I need to loot all the supplies inside first."
Nie Yang nodded:
"Okay, you go ahead and loot first, and I'll come back in three days when the portal is about to close."
"The price won't disappoint you. If you buy it from the academy, we will give you a list and you can check for yourself what you want."
"OK."
As soon as the instructor left, Li Qing immediately came to the portal and walked in. The next second, the space changed, and he found himself standing in the arena outside his own divine castle.
“Great location.”
Li Qing immediately summoned a group of civilians to stand by and turned back to Hashim City.
On the Divine Realm Channel, when Li Qing ordered the massacre of the city, a message from Mentor Nie Yang suddenly appeared in the channel.
"Congratulations to Li Qing for successfully capturing Hashim City!"
There were very few words and no one paid attention to them at first.
But when they saw the title clearly, everyone was stunned.
"What's the meaning?"
"literal meaning……"
"Li Qing conquered Hashim City? How did he do it?"
"It's not very clear. There's only a title and no actual content."
At the same time, many apprentices under Instructor Nie Yang received private messages from other instructors' apprentices, all asking about the authenticity of the news.
The dozen or so apprentices who were questioned were also confused at this time, and spread their hands to indicate that they didn't know.
Then, Cao Wenyuan, Zhang Jishan and other top-ranked apprentices immediately contacted their instructors to inquire, and the answer they got was that they would know the truth tomorrow.
At the same time, many apprentices were asking their mentors whether this matter was true or not.
The answer was unanimous that it was true, and they were warned not to send troops near the city of Hashemite now.
Of course they didn't have this idea. At this moment, they were so shocked by the news that they were almost incoherent. If the tutor hadn't told them the truth himself, no one would have believed it.
Almost at the same moment, countless apprentices sent people towards the direction of Hashemite City.
You can't send troops to participate, but you can send your men to confirm the authenticity.
Li Qing was not aware of the apprentices' actions as he was cleaning the battlefield at that time.
He had divided the city into small areas before. Every time he cleared an area, he would send a large number of laborers to move the corpses together for him to store in the space in his palm to decompose and refine the essence of flesh and soul. If it was a dog-headed man, he would extract the trace of dragon blood.
It took a whole day to complete the massacre, leaving only a few thousand indigenous humans. They were first transported into the portal and detained in the arena until he returned to deal with them.
After slaughtering the city, he made a number of small siege vehicles and began to knock down the houses and various buildings in the city one by one. No matter whether it was stone, wood, or metal, he piled them all up and used the space in his palm to decompose them and reassemble them into pieces of whole wood and stone.
The space in the palm of your hand can store more than 500,000 cubic meters of materials, and once it is full, it will return to the divine realm through the portal.
Then Li Qing consumed 60 source points to unlock the second floor of the Divine Domain Ranch. He then used this floor as a temporary warehouse and threw all the supplies in to pile them into small square hills.
Li Qingchen was so ruthless that he demolished all the buildings in the city and collected them.
With extremely high efficiency, most of the materials were collected in just about a day.
On the third day, he saw that he might not be able to finish the task within three days, so he simply withdrew his troops. Then he ordered the troops to retreat, and assembled huge rocks on the spot and threw them from high altitudes, breaking down sections of the city walls, and smashing down the lords' castles inside the city one by one, and then collected them one by one.
By the end of the three days, the entire city had been razed to the ground, with only a wizard's tower standing alone in the ruins.
At this time, the mentor appeared again, and Li Qing pointed at the Mage Tower and said:
"Please help, teacher."
Nie Yang nodded, looked up at the sky, and gestured with his hand.
The next second, a circle of transparent ripples spread out from the sky above the Mage Tower, and quickly expanded to form a huge vortex with a diameter of over a thousand meters. A transparent giant hand that could cover the sky and the sun stretched out from the vortex, grabbed the body of the Mage Tower and shook it lightly, then uprooted the Mage Tower like an eagle catching a chick, and disappeared into the vortex.
"horrible!"
Li Qing guessed that this could only be achieved by the internal instructors of the War College through the Blackrock Tower.
Although the Mage Tower was precious, he could not afford to maintain it at the moment, nor did he have the ability to do so.
Moreover, the core tower of each war lord's divine domain is itself a mage tower embryo. As long as the strength of the lord of the divine domain grows to the sixth level, enough precious materials are prepared, and several high-level mages who are good at magic arrays are invited to take action, the divine domain tower can be upgraded to a mage tower.
Moreover, the magic circle technology of human civilization is far stronger than that of snake civilization, and the magic tower built by them will be more powerful.
Once the wizard's tower was put away, the snakeman city had completely turned into a pile of ruins, with only broken bricks, broken wood, ruins, blackened blood and minced meat, and a lingering smell of blood and stench.
Li Qing took one last look at the ruins, then turned and entered the portal.
After returning to the divine realm, Li Qing suddenly let out a long breath, trembling all over, feeling extremely relaxed and at ease.
Without doing anything, he returned to the tower and fell asleep.
I slept for a full twenty hours before waking up.
An Erqiu and the three brothers Xie Zhu had already woken up and were now barbecuing and drinking outside the tower. When they saw Li Qing coming out, they waved:
"Boss, come and have a drink."
He sat down on the stone bench, took the wine glass and drank it all, then grabbed a large piece of meat skewer and started biting into it.
After eating and drinking, I lay down on the stone slab to rest.
An Erqiu sat next to him and asked:
"Boss, Long Shou, Long Fa and the others..."
Li Qing waved his hand and said:
"I'm ready. I'll revive them later, and their strength won't be affected."
He looked at the two of them and said:
"Don't worry, I have a lot of essence, as well as a large amount of pure soul essence and flesh essence. I can perfectly revive you more than once."
The two smiled and were obviously much more relaxed.
Li Qing looked at the brothers Xie Heng and Xie Jin, as well as several other professionals in the territory, and said:
"When I am promoted to a formal war lord, I will have enough treasures to sacrifice in the future to gain the favor of the Eternal Tree. I will keep some for you at that time. As long as you are loyal to me for more than five years, I will use the favor of the Eternal Tree to exchange for the Destiny of the Eternal Tree for you, and gradually transform you into heroes."
Several people immediately clasped their fists and bowed to Li Qing, saying seriously:
"If we can become heroes, I will swear to be loyal to you forever!"
Li Qing nodded and accepted their gift.
After having enough food and drink, Li Qing clapped his hands, stood up and said:
"Come with me, I will revive them."
Everyone immediately became interested and followed.
This is really interesting, as none of them have ever seen how to resurrect a hero.
Returning to the high tower in the divine realm and closing the door, Li Qing took out the necessary materials one by one, such as pure soul essence, pure flesh and blood essence, source essence, dragon blood, and then placed them in the beam of light he summoned in front of him.
The most difficult part of reviving a hero is gathering the qualified materials, but resurrection is actually quite simple.
Control the magical resurrection ability of the divine realm, take the soul preserved in the divine realm as the core, and use these materials to condense a new body.
The more complete the materials, the stronger and more comprehensive the strength will be after resurrection.
The so-called perfect resurrection means perfectly replicating the hero's strength before his death without any loss.
Li Qing checked the list. If he wanted to perfectly resurrect the Dragon Guardian and the Dragon Mage, he would need 10 source points each, 20 units of pure soul essence, 50 units of pure flesh and blood essence crystals, and up to 20,000 dragon blood extracted from the flesh and blood of dog-headed men.
The light of origin is not needed, this thing has already been integrated into Long Shou's soul.
Now that Long Shou's soul is still there, it is not needed. If the soul is incomplete, it will need one to be completed.
At this time, Li Qing only had about twenty points of source energy on hand, which was just enough.
All the materials were ready. Li Qing's mind moved, and all the materials in the light column gathered together and began to nurture a new body.
Then, Li Qing followed the same method and took out the same materials and started to revive the dragon technique.
It only takes an hour to condense a new body, so everyone is in no hurry and just stays here and waits.
As time passed, the light cocoon began to slowly expand and become transparent. Everyone could vaguely see a tall figure with wings taking shape inside the light cocoon.
An hour later, the light cocoon broke, and Long Shou and Long Fa, exactly the same as before, appeared in front of everyone.
The two opened their eyes and saw Li Qing, and immediately knelt in front of him:
"My lord, I have completed the mission!"
Li Qing nodded, patted their shoulders with satisfaction, and said:
"I have seen your loyalty and ability, and I am very satisfied!"
Then I opened the attribute panels of the two people to check. There was no difference from before, whether it was the hero star level, bloodline level, original hero skill level, etc., there was no difference from before, and it would not affect future upgrades.
"very nice!"
