Volume 4: People who challenge the light Chapter 53: An Accidental Success
However, the number of corpse wizards was indeed a little too much. More than half of the dozen dark knights died in a blink of an eye. There were only a few left. Without their cover, my pressure suddenly increased. For a while, I was surrounded by danger. The "death cloud bombs" of the corpse wizards around me were flying around "whoosh, whoosh". If I was not careful, I might be hit by one. In addition, in order to take care of Taotao, who was the weakest, I had to use my body as a barrier to resist attacks for him. I have "Death Touch" which can replenish the spiritual power of the corpse wizards by constantly absorbing it. If Taotao died, he would have to lose 3% of his spiritual power limit before he could be resurrected. Alas, I originally wanted to ride it to retreat quickly. If I had known it was so dangerous, I really shouldn't have brought it.
The defense line here has not been broken yet, and a large group of corpse wizards behind us are rushing up waving bone staffs. It seems that a pincer attack is about to be formed and the situation is becoming more and more critical. But suddenly two corpse wizard kings appear on the left and right sides in front of us. One time, two super-large "death cloud bombs" flew towards me quickly from the left and right, and they seemed to have determined that I was the culprit and launched an attack specifically targeting me. "Mental attack" cannot deal with two people at the same time, forcing me to be overwhelmed. Several times, the magic bullets flew past my body and scared me into a cold sweat.
"Whoosh, whoosh", gusts of cold wind suddenly blew on the battlefield, blowing straight towards the corpse wizards who were attacking fiercely. Looking up, wow, a lot of devouring ghosts have floated in from nowhere, and are constantly descending from the sky. There are probably thousands of them, each with a big mouth open, blowing happily at the corpse wizards. It seems that the young couple Skynet and Red Lotus have also come. Except for them, there is probably no other player who can have so many devouring ghosts. They know very well that the corpse wizards who use magic attacks are the nemesis of the devouring ghosts, and no matter how many they send, they will all die. But they still do this. They are really friendly. Judging from the scale, they should have done everything they can for this airborne support.
Corpse wizards are not energetic undead warriors. The dark wind of the devouring ghosts should have a more obvious impact on them. In addition, there are quite a lot of them, and they came rather suddenly, which immediately created a lot of trouble for the corpse wizards who were busy attacking me. They turned their guns to deal with these devouring ghosts floating in the sky. For a moment, the pressure I was under was reduced a lot. I concentrated my mind and launched a "mental attack" with all my strength, knocking the corpse wizard king on the left who was still aiming at me and refused to give up. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. I jumped on Taotao and quickly rushed over under the cover of Red Star and the Blood Bat couple.
Facing the dense and powerful magic attacks of the corpse witch, these ordinary devouring ghosts were quickly dealt with, but with the little chaos they created, I took the opportunity to use Red Star to clear the way, and fought my way through the sixth line of defense. This represents both an opportunity and a test, because the situation I will face next will be even more dangerous - in front of me is the open area of 100 meters through the seventh line of defense. If they can't effectively contain the enemies on this line of defense, giving them time to attack me, attacking from both sides, and no men can be sacrificed, I don't have the slightest confidence that I can successfully break through.
But it was too late to back down, so I had to charge forward. At the same time, I quickly observed the situation ahead, which really surprised me. There were at least tens of thousands of zombies and skeleton shooters, and there were also some black warriors and a few dark knights. They were fighting with more than a thousand corpse witches. The situation was in chaos, and the corpse witches had no time to take care of me for the time being. I guess the corpse witches had been guarding against me breaking out from the front, but they didn't expect to be suddenly attacked from behind, which caused such a chaotic situation. I don't know how many people Xinbi Tiangao has pulled to help, and how he could gather such a large force in such a hurry?
Since we were unable to organize an effective interception in front, we could concentrate on dealing with the attacks from the pursuers behind, which was naturally easier. We rushed to the front of the formation, and quickly found the position of Xinbitiangao through the spiritual induction between the corpse kings, and rushed over to kill him. Xinbitiangao, Skynet, Red Lotus, and several dwarf wizards and elven witches, some of whom looked familiar, should have been seen when the "Corpse King Crown" was presented. More than a dozen people were entangled with the two corpse wizard kings in a fight, and were chased around by the super-large "Death Cloud Explosion Bomb". In addition, there were dozens of corpse wizards guarding them. They had no way out at all, but they refused to retreat, and kept roaming around to harass them. It seemed that they wanted to delay the two leaders and give me a chance to break through.
"Boom", a black warrior was blown to pieces by the corpse wizard king before he could dodge. A dwarf wizard not far away howled miserably, his heart aching beyond words. He gritted his teeth and shot several "Death Clouds" at the corpse wizard. I heard Xinbitiangao mentioned earlier that the black warrior, who was useless in my eyes, was a very valuable fighting force for many dwarf wizards with low mental power, and it was not so easy to subdue him.
There was a large group of pursuers behind him, and the situation was still very critical. He had no time to greet them first. A "mental attack" almost knocked down a corpse wizard king. Hong Xing also pulled out a bone spear and cast a "life-seeking flying spear", quickly passing through the gaps between the corpse wizards, and still killed them with one blow, and quickly and neatly got rid of another corpse wizard king.
Xin Bi Tian Gao looked up in astonishment, and when he saw me, he immediately showed a look of surprise, "Brother A-Dai, you finally rushed out!"
I nodded towards them as a greeting, "The army of corpse witches is about to rush over, it is still very dangerous now, evacuate quickly first."
At the moment, I was the rear guard while the reinforcements retreated quickly. The stronger Black Warriors and Dark Knights withdrew from the battle at the same time. As for the zombies and skeleton archers, they could only become victims and block the corpse wizard's pursuit for a while, buying us more time.
After a frantic run, "farewell" by countless "death cloud bombs", I finally got away from the territory of the corpse wizards and escaped to a safe area. The massive undead war I started was officially declared over. I exchanged millions of zombies, more than a hundred black warriors and dark knights, and so many favors I owed for more than five hundred corpse wizards. I don't know whether I made a profit or a loss.
My online time has expired. Although I had a lot of questions, I had no time to say much to Xinbitiangao and Tianwang. We hastily set a time and place to meet, and then I was forced to go offline.
We met again, still in the "Dead Soul Space". We were all in different continents, so it was more convenient to contact each other through here. According to my request, all the people who participated in the rescue were present, so that I could personally express my gratitude and discuss the formulation of a compensation plan - in order to rescue me, they all lost a lot of their men, and their strength was greatly weakened. Some of them were almost left alone. Naturally, I should be responsible for compensating for their losses. It was just a delay of some time, which was not difficult. As the beneficiary, I had no choice but to do so.
There were a total of thirteen undead wizards involved in the rescue operation. In addition to Xinbitiangao , Skynet, Red Lotus, Hercules and Moonlight whom I met that time, there were two dwarves and three elves, all of whom were members of the "Northern Continent Undead Wizard Mutual Aid Society". Their strength was not very high, and some of them had just been promoted to the fifth level of their profession not long ago. No wonder the dwarf wizard named Fat Luo looked so distressed when a black warrior died. They did not have too many powerful subordinates. For a "super rich" like me, it is hard to imagine the "tight" "life" of these "ordinary people".
"How did you know that I started the Undead War with the Corpse Witches, and how did you come to my aid at the most critical moment, and gather such a large number of people?" After a round of greetings and expressing gratitude one by one, I couldn't wait to ask this question. Such a large-scale rescue operation, including gathering manpower, mobilizing subordinates, launching attacks at the right time, etc., is definitely not completed in just a few hours. I don't think they are idle and have nothing to do. They lead a large group of zombies and the skeleton shooters' subordinates to show off in the "Dead Space" all day long.
Xin Bi Tian Gao laughed with a proud look on his face, "Speaking of which, you are lucky, Big Brother Ah Dai, you are not destined to die. Of course, the most important thing is to thank me. If it weren't for my suggestion, we would have gathered all of us to gather our own strengths to attack the corpse wizard and see if there is a chance to subdue a corpse wizard with a level similar to that of the black warrior to enhance everyone's strength. We wouldn't have run into this obstacle. I just happened to be there to help Big Brother out."
"Really?" It sounds reasonable. They are really brave and fearless. With such little strength, they dare to challenge the corpse wizard. Even Skynet and Red Lotus join them in the madness. They are so reckless. Aren't they afraid of losing everything? However, seeing Xin Bi Tian Gao's eyes shrank, and the others looked at him with a smile, could there be another hidden story?
"Don't listen to his nonsense. With his strength, how can he have the courage to challenge the corpse witch again? Remember the last time he took us to act rashly, we suffered heavy losses and almost lost our lives . Even if he has healed his scars and forgotten the pain, and is not afraid of death and has any other actions, we will not accompany him to die again." Yue Guangguang on the side finally spoke out and exposed the "old bottom" of Xinbitiangao. "He noticed that you, brother A'dai, had gathered a large number of zombies near the corpse witch's territory. He guessed that you might be planning to attack the corpse witch. He found us and said that he was secretly following you after provoking the Undead War to see if he could get some benefits. Therefore, we each gathered our teams and stayed nearby and made preparations. As a result, we waited for a few days without seeing any movement. Just when we were a little relaxed, you suddenly launched the Undead War. When we hurriedly gathered our men and rushed to join the battle, we found that you seemed to be surrounded by corpse witches. Tiangao determined your location through the "Crown of the Corpse King". Brother Tianwang and Sister Lianhua made a plan, which led to this rescue operation."
Yue Guangguang's words caused a burst of laughter. Although he was very confident, he remained calm. "Motives are irrelevant. The most important thing is the outcome. If it weren't for my suggestion, wouldn't Brother Ah Dai be in danger this time? Facts have proven that my decision was wise and correct."
"If you want to subdue a few corpse wizards, just contact me and tell me. Why do you have to sneak behind me? It's not a difficult thing." I was a little puzzled. After all, I shouldn't be a petty and selfish person. The corpse wizard king and the wizard emperor may not be so "great" as to be willing to transfer, but I will never be reluctant to give some to ordinary corpse wizards. No one would have thought that the corpse wizards would be so insidious and cunning, and would actually set up ambushes on all sides. Under normal circumstances, with my strength, I would definitely get a lot of benefits from launching such a large-scale undead war. Just following them and getting a little bit of it would be enough for them to be happy.
This time it was Skynet who answered, "Tian Gao said that they are not strong enough, and if they act with you they will require you to distract and take care of them, which may easily become a burden and affect you, so they decided to act secretly, take action when there is a chance, and broaden their horizons by the way. To be honest, it is really thanks to his persistence, otherwise if I had followed my idea and joined forces with you, wouldn't I have been surrounded by corpse wizards together with you?" From his tone, it seemed that he admired Xinbi Tiangao very much.
I was speechless for a moment. What else could I say? There was no need to say more. Everything was self-evident. Any words were empty. Only by taking action and using something practical could I repay this favor.
In the following period of time, I led them to start a joint operation, responsible for searching and defeating the black warriors and dark knights for them to conquer, and providing them with sufficient "supply". Of course, they were most interested in the higher-level dark knights. Several elven witches relied on their second professions as magicians, and their relatively high mental power made it easier. After a few days, everyone made quite a lot of gains. As for the dwarf wizards, it was more troublesome. Their second professions were all warriors, and their mental power was generally low. The black warriors were so-so, but it was much more difficult to deal with the dark knights. It was almost the same as me conquering the horror knights. Using the "Soul Contract" to enlighten them for several hours might not be able to conquer one, but they were much more patient than me, and they were just as happy to do it, concentrating on conquering, and persisting, and they could make a few every day. While I secretly admire them, I can't help but feel quite ashamed. When I first started to subdue the undead, I was also so persistent and would not give up until I achieved my goal. Later, as my strength improved and I gained a certain reputation, I seemed to have less and less patience and became eager for quick success, which led to repeated setbacks. If it weren't for a little bit of luck and the help of this group of friends, the consequences would disastrous.
In the middle, I took them to the "Yinfeng Valley", one of the four forbidden areas. Although I didn't encounter a Devouring Ghost King, everyone subdued a lot of Devouring Ghosts. Although this kind of "airborne" troops don't have much lethality, they can be used in reconnaissance, harassment and containment of the enemy. It doesn't take much mental energy to summon them, so everyone is quite interested. In addition, the Devouring Ghosts of Skynet and Red Lotus have all died in the rescue operation, and I don't have many left. I just need to replenish them. Anyway, with Xiaobai leading the way, I won't be attacked by ordinary Devouring Ghosts and can enter and exit the "Yinfeng Valley" freely.
