Chapter 99: The Coming Undead Hero
Li Qing now has a total of 912 dragon bloodlines and a ray of original light in his hands.
There should have been as many as three, but the other original lights had not condensed, and when they were still mysterious spots, he used them to summon the dragon vein snake man.
There were a total of 13,870 units of flesh and blood essence crystals, and 1,651 units of pure soul essence, most of which were accumulated from the four waves of more than two million ogre corpses.
In addition, there are four iron golems, for a total of 128 rock golems.
Everything is almost ready, but Li Qing's divine domain will be put away in about a month and a half, so he is currently too busy to reunite with his teammates.
But in half a month, the Wind of Undeath will completely enter this plane, enveloping the entire plane, severing the connection with the academy, and the mentor's domain network will also be interrupted. At that time, the plane will return to its most original and more dangerous state than when they first entered.
War lord apprentices could not communicate with other war lord apprentices through the divine realm, and were once again in the dark.
This also means that Li Qing can only lead his troops through dangerous planes to find the main force of the team.
"There's some trouble!"
But Li Qing was not too worried. Without the burden of the divine realm, it would not be difficult for him to cross the plane with his strength, along with the Dragon Law and Dragon Guard as well as a small team of elite soldiers.
The only problem is whether we can find it when the time and whether we will lose contact with it. That’s a bit of a hassle.
Half a month passed in a flash, and two days before the scheduled ten months, at noon that day, without any warning, Li Qing suddenly felt the sky suddenly darken.
He quickly went to the window and looked out. The sky was still dark. The light of war continued to illuminate the interior of the Divine Realm Castle, but everyone could clearly sense that the world had become darker.
It turns out that there were some unknown light sources shining in from the sky, so we could still see the road in the dark. Now there is no trace of starlight, and the wilderness is completely dark, so dark that we can't even see our hands in front of us.
At the same time, the connection between the divine realm and the academy has been completely cut off, and now Li Qing's divine realm has become an isolated island.
The forty or fifty apprentices who settled in his divine domain within the internal LAN were discussing the matter in a buzzing manner, expressing both excitement and anxiety.
At this time, Li Qing also gathered with his subordinates to discuss the huge changes before them.
Like other apprentices, they were nervous and full of expectations.
Li Qing knocked on the table and said:
"Everyone knows that we can't leave now even if we want to. Our connection with the college has been cut off. We have to rely on ourselves from now on."
"An Erqiu, Xie Zhu, you two will take turns patrolling the city wall every day and arrange your own handover times. I don't want a large group of undead to find out when they touch my face."
An Erqiu and Xie Zhu immediately nodded in response:
"Don't worry, bro. That won't happen."
Li Qing nodded:
"I trust you to do the job."
"Also, An Erqiu, go ask the heroic apprentices who have settled in the Divine Domain if they are interested in helping to command the battle. If they are willing, you can grant them temporary command authority to lead the troops in battle."
An Erqiu nodded immediately:
"I'll ask later."
"Um!"
There is no other way. There are too few heroes under my command. Long Shou and Long Fa are not good at commanding. With only An Erqiu and Xie Zhu left, they are definitely too busy to handle the situation. Recruiting some temporary workers is not a possible option.
Fortunately, what they need to face next is the undead plague. There is no room for communication and no possibility of surrender. There is no need to worry about whether there will be any accidents when recruiting a few outsiders.
After the meeting, Li Qing came to the castle wall. Under the light of war, the air outside the wall was filled with a faint gray mist.
The wind was howling, and you could see streams of pale white air dancing wildly in the sky.
This pale airflow is the wind of the undead condensed from the power of death.
He looked up at the sky. There was nothing in the pitch-black sky, but Li Qing's powerful spiritual sense could feel that there was a huge monster beyond his imagination in the dark dome, covering the entire plane.
As the Wind of Chaos completely overlaps with the plane, a large number of undead heroes from other planes deep in the void will be carried by the Wind of Undead and lead the undead army into this plane. This is also the biggest challenge for ordinary war lord apprentices.
Half a day after the wind of chaos completely descended, Li Qing, who was meditating in the core of the divine realm, was suddenly awakened by a series of earth-shaking roars.
He quickly walked out of the tower and flew into the air. He saw thick blood-red lightning constantly exploding in the dark sky and earth in the distance around the Divine Domain Castle. Then, gray-white whirlpools appeared in the sky where the blood-red lightning struck, and gray-white tornado columns fell from the sky.
The tornado columns were of different sizes , but they connected the sky and the earth and lasted for a long time.
Li Qing joined the other men who were awakened, squinted his eyes and looked for a long time, then said:
"It should be that the undead heroes caught in the wind of chaos have begun to descend."
"Prepare for battle!"
There is nothing much to say about this, just fighting.
Half a day later, Li Qing received a report from An Erqiu that two tornado columns appeared not far from them.
A slightly larger one fell about seven or eight kilometers to the west of the Divine Realm, and the other one was closer, only about two or three kilometers to the south of the Divine Realm, even approaching the edge of the Divine Realm's war light.
Li Qing pondered for a moment and began to mobilize the troops to garrison positions.
At the same time, in a jungle two kilometers away from the divine realm, in a gray-white tornado column with a diameter of about one hundred meters, a steady stream of skeletons or zombies poured out from a gray-white vortex in the center of the tornado column.
Just like diarrhea, densely packed skeleton zombies were pulled out from a pile, quickly squeezed out of the tornado column range, and slowly dispersed outwards.
The tornado column lasted for a full hour, and a large number of densely packed undead gathered around it.
But most of them were skeleton warriors of level one or above, or level two skeleton warriors, and no level zero skeletons were seen.
The same goes for zombies, all of them are first level.
In other words, among this vast army of undead, there are no soldiers below level zero, they are all above level one.
The most common are skeletons, and the second most common are zombies.
In addition to these two main undead forces, there is a group of mid-level undead ghouls in the center of the sea of undead, a large group of ghosts floating in the air, a large group of skeleton knights, and a team of undead knights.
There are more than a dozen stitched monsters of different sizes, the shortest is more than three meters tall, and the tallest is nearly ten meters tall.
There were more than a dozen huge skeletons and resurrected corpses of unknown beasts. The smallest one was only five or six meters long, and the largest one was more than twenty meters long. They were no smaller than the war lizards and were probably resurrected war beasts.
In the center of the Sea of Undead was a group of corpse wizards and a lich hero surrounded by many corpse wizards, with a faint blue and white halo hanging in the air under his feet.
In addition, whether it is skeletons, zombies, ghouls, ghosts, skeleton knights and death knights, they all have their own undead heroes to lead them.
But these undead heroes all obey the orders of the lich heroes.
When all the troops gathered and the tornado column disappeared, the lich hero in gorgeous robes looked up and gazed into the distance.
At the end of the endless night, there was a huge ball of light hanging in the air, emitting a light that made the dead feel disgusted.
Under the light, there is a huge inverted light bowl, and under the light bowl is a huge city.
The Corpse Hero sniffed gently, a faint blue light flickered in his pupils, and a hoarse voice came out of his skinny mouth, which was only a layer of skin and bones left:
"I smell life, there's a lot of life out there!"
The rugged bone staff in his hand paused slightly, and a bony hand stretched out from the sleeve of the gorgeous robe and pointed in the direction of the city. A hoarse voice sounded:
"attack!"
The numerous undead spirits around roared towards the sky together, and countless blue soul fires lit up, illuminating the army.
Under the coordination of many undead heroes, the skeletons and zombies at the outermost edge began to move, forming a torrent of undead surging forward.
The city defenders were the first to discover the vanguard of the undead. When Li Qing arrived at the top of the city, he saw a sea of skeletons and a tide of zombies crowded together about 300 meters away from the city.
This is the difference between having a heroic command and not having a heroic command. If it were a wild monster, it would have rushed to the city long ago.
Only with a heroic command can orders be enforced and operations can be stopped as soon as they are told to.
As time went by, more and more undead armies gathered, and we gradually saw the main force of the undead army and many undead heroes behind them.
"Boss, this scale is probably more than 20,000."
The floating lich, surrounded by his subordinates, came to the front of the castle of the divine domain. He looked up at the towering city walls in silence for a few seconds. Suddenly, he looked in the other direction and opened his mouth as if to speak, but no sound came out.
Li Qing frowned and looked in another direction. He remembered that there was also a tornado column there before, and an army of undead had also descended.
"Do you want to unite?"
Li Qing pinched his chin and said to his men beside him:
"You guys watch first, I'll go get ready."
An Erqiu and Xie Zhu both nodded. He turned and left the city wall, returning to the Divine Domain Ranch next to the core tower of the Divine Domain.
Gather all the Dragon Vein Serpents, a total of 505 Dragon Vein Serpents.
There were only 269 before, and the extra 236 were accumulated during this period.
Now there is enough dragon blood, but not enough mysterious light spots.
After his careful training, the 505 Dragon Vein Snake People are now at least at the second level, and nearly one-third have been promoted to the third level, with strong combat effectiveness .
Originally, Li Qing wanted to keep raising the eagle, but then he thought that the eagle would never grow up without going through hardships, and if he kept it raised for too long, it would become useless.
Moreover, if he had to keep them alive all the time, he wouldn't have that many ogres to give them combat experience, so he might as well just pull them out to fight.
Death is bad luck, those who survive are the elite.
There is no telling how many battles this wave of natural scourge invasion will face. This is a good opportunity to gain a lot of combat experience. If they are lucky enough to survive, these dragon vein snake people may be able to be promoted to the fifth or even sixth level in one go.
It is worth mentioning that during this period of time alone, this group of dragon vein snake people provided him with a total of 9 points of divine power.
Depending on the level of their faith, they can provide him with a little divine power approximately every 10 days or so.
As for the nearly 20,000 human civilians and troops in the divine realm, all of them combined only provided him two points of divine power in such a long period of time, which was a huge gap.
However, the big gap now is only because a large part of the civilians only have shallow faith, and most of the rest are true believers. There are very few devout believers and even fewer fanatical believers.
So although there were many of them, their quality was too poor, which was why they were unable to defeat the mere five hundred Dragon Vein Snake People.
If the number of true believers per capita among the subordinates in the divine realm can reach above a certain scale, the power of faith provided by a certain number of devout believers and fanatical believers will naturally increase.
There was no need for him to mobilize. Li Qing only needed to give an order, and all the Dragon Vein Snake people, who were at least devout and most of them were fanatics, took up their weapons, formed a team and followed Li Qing out of the Divine Domain Ranch.
As for the Lava Crystal Dragon, it did not move. Now was not the time to ask it to take action.
Bringing them to the city wall, Li Qing divided them into ten teams, temporarily placing two teams on each direction of the city wall, and then dispatching them according to the situation depending on which direction the enemy mainly attacks.
Dai Lirong and others were also not idle. They were directing the laborers to transport war supplies from the Divine Realm warehouse to the supply warehouse under the city wall.
Various arrows, javelins, swords, shields, leather armor, etc.
While the city was making intensive preparations, the two undead armies had already joined forces outside the city.
The other is also a similar undead army, which is larger than the Lich Hero's, with about 30,000 soldiers. However, the leader is not a Lich Hero, but an extraordinary Terror Knight Hero.
After observing the situation for a while, both sides decided to attack from two sides.
There were no deafening war drums, nor soldiers shouting, only the creepy clicking sound of large numbers of skeletons moving.
After the deployment of troops was completed, only soul-stirring cries of heroes from both sides could be heard, and the undead army surrounding the entire city officially began its siege.
A large number of skeletons and zombies held up bone ladders made of bones and built them towards the city wall. The zombies held hands and formed a corpse ladder against the city wall. A large number of zombies surged up, and the densely packed corpses crowded upwards, trying to form a corpse ladder connecting to the city wall.
But unfortunately, the defenders would not give them this opportunity. A large number of soldiers gathered in front of the human ladder, picked up rolling logs covered with spikes and threw them down.
The wall of corpses would be broken when hit by the rolling logs, and the front and back would lose contact and roll down in a pile.
Stones were used to deal with the bone ladder. Several soldiers picked up a stone weighing several hundred kilograms and smashed it down. The hard but brittle bone ladder broke into pieces once it was smashed, and the skeleton warriors hanging on the ladder also fell down.
At the same time, a large number of skeleton archers outside the city pulled their bone bows, and bone arrows shot into the city from outside the city.
As An Erqiu and many temporarily recruited heroes ordered to raise shields, many defenders raised their thickened shields to block the bone arrows.
After blocking the next wave, they retaliated by drawing their bows and shooting arrows out of the city.
Although arrows are not very effective against skeletons as there are too many gaps in the bone frames and it is easy for them to miss, we cannot not fight back. If the arrows can hit the skeleton's body, it is possible that they will break its fragile bones.
However, Li Qing did not expect to rely on archers to suppress the opponent. The main lethal weapons had been prepared long ago, including light catapults above the city walls and large counterweight catapults behind the city walls.
The light catapult is not big and can be placed on the city wall. A pile of stones are piled in the net bag and thrown out. As long as it hits the target, the skeleton will be smashed to pieces.
Large counterweight trebuchets are not commonly used and there are not many of them. They are mainly used to deal with possible large enemy units or specialized siege units.
They had already conducted a rehearsal two months ago, fixing these large counterweight catapults, then throwing boulders of different weights and determining the throwing distances of the stones of different weights.
Because the stone bullets are all the same size, this standard line can be guaranteed to be absolutely accurate. As long as an important target falls at the predetermined location, it can be fired immediately and it can almost be hit 100%.
