Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 266 "Foreign Aid"
The defensive ability of the Undead wizard himself can be said to be relatively . Although he was protected by "Three Shields" and "Unparalleled Guardian", and even had a protective skill of the second profession of a fire magician, it was obvious that his ninth-level professional skill was not "sacrifice" magic, and he lacked other effective means of dodging and powerful protective equipment and props. He was bullied by Ibola and under the direct attack of "Gods and Demons", all his struggles and resistances were in vain. He did not hold on for long, and fell under the snake spear with fear and unwillingness on his face. His body turned into a white light that meant death, and he became the first victim of my death in the "Dead Space". Witnessing the performance of this necromancer in the face of the threat of death gave me greater confidence. Even if they were directly involved in the war against me, not all necromancers would be as united and indifferent as described by the Count of Monte Cristo and the Martians, who might be killed by me in the battle and lose 5% of their mental power. At least the performance of the "unknown" who was just killed was definitely not fearless. He was also afraid of death and did not want to be killed by me, and could not calmly bear the loss of 5% of his mental power. This further confirmed my guess that the enemy's camp was not a monolithic entity, and not all of them were determined to fight to the death with me. As long as I adopted appropriate tactics and could put enough pressure on them, so that they would realize the huge risks and painful price they had to pay for being my enemy, I might not need to fight to the death. If I fought with them to the end, the seemingly strong wall would split and collapse from the inside.
The death of the master caused dozens of black bone dragon guards under his command to lose control. Although they followed the orders they had received before, they continued to attack Ibola and did not withdraw from the battle, but they were leaderless. They were fighting on their own, and they no longer had the close cooperation they had before. The formation was scattered, which was even less threatening to Ibola. They easily escaped from their encirclement and did not get entangled with this group of real "rabble", saving their energy to deal with other undead wizards. And perhaps in a corner that we can't see, the other black bone dragons that directly participated in the encirclement or attack on me and belonged to this undead wizard will also lose the command of the master and become "scattered soldiers", unable to integrate into the entire offensive and defensive system of the "Anti-Stupid Alliance". As long as I can kill more undead wizards in succession, more and more black bone dragons will be out of control and act on their own. Gradually causing more and more chaos in the enemy formation, it will be more beneficial to my actions.
Ibola continued to rush to the next nearby target. Each necromancer only arranged a few dozen black bone dragons to guard him. The other subordinates should obey the organization's arrangement and be transferred to other places to participate in the attack. Even if they wanted to strengthen their own defense, it was estimated that they would not have time to transfer them back for a while. Of course, when my companions were directly attacked, other necromancers also transferred some black bone dragons to come and besiege Ibola. However, the incident happened suddenly and they belonged to different masters. It took some time to command and coordinate. The defense was not in place yet. Ibola was skilled and bold. He ignored the threat of being surrounded and attacked the nearest necromancer directly. What I was fighting for was time. There was no other way. Under the siege of the opponent's absolute superiority, I had to race against time and try to kill as many necromancers as possible in the shortest possible time, so as to disintegrate the opponent's deployment and morale, and win some breathing space for me to survive in the cracks, or even win the final victory.
The same tactics were used, and the strength of the target undead wizard was not much better than the first victim. These ordinary masters who had only been promoted to the ninth level of the Undead Holy Mage profession for a short time and just tried to conquer as many as possible and had not conducted too many actual combat exercises with the Black Bone Dragon were not worth mentioning in my eyes. Commanding dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of undead subordinates to fight was different from a simple duel between three or two people. According to the specific characteristics of the undead subordinates and opponents, there were very high requirements for tactics and on-the-spot command and response, which could not be compensated by their own rich fighting and game experience. Facing Ibola, these undead wizards who were enemies of me had many shortcomings in the deployment of their black bone dragons and their pre-planned countermeasures. With Ibola's strength, especially the absolute advantage in speed, plus my understanding of the black bone dragon's ability, I could effectively avoid the real and attack its weaknesses, and I was able to forcefully break through the black bone dragon's defense in a relatively short time and kill them under the spear. The power gap between super expert players and ordinary expert players cannot be made up by simply piling up numbers. The almost abnormal existence of Ibola, who can summon slave spirits to possess him and add wings to a tiger, can exert a terrifying power that cannot be measured by simple levels. Any opponent who underestimates me and dares to "bully" me will surely suffer the consequences and face Xi's crazy counterattack.
After successfully killing the second target, Ibola still evacuated quickly, getting rid of the dozens of black bone dragons that had temporarily lost their master's control, but he did not continue to rush to the other undead wizard nearby. This was probably what the other party was eager to do. After wasting some time, the black bone dragons that other undead wizards had dispatched to encircle Ibola were basically in place, and they had already set up a siege formation and were still being reinforced, trying to completely block Ibola's actions. In order to kill the undead wizard, Ibola had to attack close to the ground, and the space for movement was much smaller. He could no longer move freely like he did in the air, and he could not escape at will. After all, the opponent was also a master player who had advanced to the ninth level of the profession relatively early in Tianxia. He was not a good-for-nothing who only cared about making a living. He still had some real skills and a good ability to respond. He had gathered a large group of black bone dragons on the periphery, one next to the other, forming a "fully enclosed cage" that left no gap for Ibola to pass through. Moreover, the "prison wall" was constantly thickening. He wanted to use the human wave tactics to completely trap Ibola to death, compressing the inner layer step by step, forcing Ibola to have no way to escape. He could only fight the black bone dragon head-on. It seemed that he wanted to use these undead wizards as bait, and use their sacrifice to delay Ibola. He tried to kill my most capable subordinate in one fell swoop.
I have experienced and commanded countless battles of all sizes in the "Dead Soul Space". I have accumulated rich experience in group battles. It is a necessary ability to make timely and accurate judgments on changes in the situation. As soon as the opponent makes a move, I can easily see through their intentions. This plan is indeed feasible. As long as the "prison wall" accumulates enough thickness, if there is no external help, it can only rely on Ibola's own ability. Once the absolute advantage in speed is limited. Facing too many black bone dragons, a single tiger cannot fight a pack of wolves. It is only a level 10 medium-priced one. It is difficult to force its way out of the siege, and the end of defeat and death is almost foreseeable. I naturally cannot let their plot succeed. I immediately issued an order and commanded Ibola to let go of several other nearby undead wizards. No longer lingering in this area, quickly soared to a height and rushed diagonally upwards, taking advantage of the fact that the opponent has not yet fully deployed, the encirclement has just been formed and has begun to take shape, and the "prison wall" is not very thick, it will break through the siege in time and move to another place. In such a large battlefield, there will always be suitable targets for it to attack. Anyway, there are hundreds of undead wizards directly participating in this battle. They are scattered everywhere and are all my hunting targets. There is no one who must be killed. I can create chaos for the other side by choosing any place. Let them chase Ibola around. Their speed is far inferior to mine. I want to see how many black bone dragons they can mobilize to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Ibola while they are trying their best to deal with me and my more than 4,000 men.
According to my instructions, Ibola did not rush directly to the black bone dragon defense circle in front of it, and fight those hostile black bone dragons head-on. Although it can definitely break out with its strength, it will consume some energy. Under the siege of more than 50,000 black bone dragons, it is almost impossible for Ibola, who cannot get effective support from external forces, to kill hundreds of undead wizards. It will definitely be exhausted and unable to fight again. It must effectively save every bit of energy and use it in the action of directly attacking the undead wizards to strive to achieve the greatest possible results. Make full use of all external factors to facilitate your own actions. Another ability that must be mastered in the melee. This time, Ibola's breakout needs to play the role of the hundreds of black bone dragons that lost control because of the death of two undead wizards. They act arbitrarily according to the last orders of their respective masters and the instinct to chase the knight of destruction. Lead them to chase and kill themselves purposefully, fight in a group , and quickly rush to the outer black bone dragon defense circle.
In order to maintain the stability of the defense circle and not give Ibola an opportunity to take advantage of it, the black bone dragons that formed the encirclement, under the control of their respective masters, never took the initiative to attack, but only relied on their companions next to them, passively used their bodies to bear and block, and under the push of the outer black bone dragons, they gradually compressed to the inner layer, achieving the purpose of trapping Ibola to death. But the hundreds of black bone dragons that lost the control of their masters did not know how to cooperate with them, and only knew to chase and kill Ibola, surround it, and launch a fierce attack from all sides, without any strategy. As Ibola moved, they also rushed close to the black bone dragons that formed the defense circle. The chaotic attack also caused a certain impact on the stagnant companions. Everyone was one family, and it was impossible for them to kill each other. But without the direct control of the master, the ownerless black bone dragons who instinctively raised their heads would not be polite to the companions who hindered their actions. They squeezed when they could and bumped when they should, trying their best to make it easier for themselves to attack Ibola. Yibola also added fuel to the fire, launching attacks specifically against the black bone dragons that formed the defensive circle, further creating chaos, and using the reckless actions of the ownerless black bone dragons to quickly shake the outer black bone dragons' defenses, achieving his goal with minimal effort, killing his way out of the encirclement of the black bone dragons, soaring into the air and flying away, making the opponent's blocking action fail. As long as there is a gap in the group of black bone dragons, Yibola can move freely, relying on his absolute speed advantage, and is not afraid of their pursuit and interception.
After breaking through the siege, Yibola continued to search for other undead wizards among the black bone dragons. After running for a while, he found the gathering point of seven or eight undead wizards. There were still dozens of black bone dragons guarding each undead wizard closely to prevent Yibola's attack. If they were to fight head-on, the Destruction Knight, who was only a level 10 intermediate, would definitely not be the opponent of dozens of black bone dragons. However, to kill a target, especially an undead wizard with weaker defense ability. Yibola, who has unique abilities, is still able to do it. In the same way, he made more probing attacks to pull out the gaps in the black bone dragon's defense. Avoid the real and attack the fake. Looking for a gap to rush forward, after a tangled battle, Yibola successfully killed the target undead wizard on the spot. Speaking of which, we should also thank the lack of long-distance communication capabilities in the "dead space", which cannot communicate with each other in time. The encounter of the two undead wizards who died in battle could not be accurately and quickly provided to other undead wizards for prevention, and the mistakes that should be made are still being made. On the contrary, Ibola had accumulated relevant attack experience through the previous two operations. With a familiar route, the killing operation was naturally smoother.
After killing Mubei, Yibo La dodged the siege of the ownerless black bone dragons and observed the surrounding situation. The nearby black bone dragons had already begun to form an array on the periphery, and more black bone dragons were flying towards this side in the distance. The action was much faster than the last time, but we couldn't underestimate them too much. If they capsized in the gutter, we would regret it. I gave up the plan to let Yibo La continue to attack the second undead wizard next to him. If we delay for a while longer, the encirclement formed by the opponent may be more difficult to deal with than the last time. Using the ownerless black bone dragon to break through is a one-time thing, and the opponent has already been on guard and will definitely take corresponding contingency measures. It may not be able to provide much help to Yibo La. If we force a breakthrough, even if we can do it, it will inevitably take more energy, and the risk is relatively high, and it is easy to lose more than the gain. Without stopping, Ibola quickly left here and fled into the distance, firing one shot and switching to another. Perhaps this would have the same effect and allow more undead wizards to witness the death of their companions. The thought of losing 5% of their mental power limit would shock them even more. Except for those die-hard war factions, the attitudes of those peace factions and neutral "fence-sitters" would probably be even more shaken, which might further accelerate the division and collapse of the enemy camp.
Ibola is a dagger that pierces the enemy's heart. I am surrounded by tens of thousands of black bone dragons with more than 4,000 black bone dragon subordinates, and it is difficult to escape from the danger. Those undead wizards who are in charge can't hide in the black bone dragon army to direct the battle. Facing Ibola's rampage in the enemy camp, their lives are also directly threatened. Although there are many people gathered and distributed under the heavy obstruction of the black bone dragon, every time Ibola appears, there will only be one victim, but it is this choice of only one death that makes It might make them even more nervous, not knowing who will be the next unlucky person, and the psychological pressure they bear might be even greater than mine - at least they have the "blood bat transformation" and the "instant teleportation" ability granted by the demon spirit, and Tao Tao as a mount to support them. Even if they cannot lead the 4,500 black bone dragons under their command to create miracles and completely defeat the opponents to win the final victory, at least they have the confidence to save their lives and escape in an extremely unfavorable situation, and not be killed by them and lose 5% of their mental power limit. Fighting one against a hundred, in fact, even if I cannot completely defeat the enemy, as long as I can achieve an impressive record, it will be the biggest irony for them, and will not ruin my reputation as the "world's number one undead wizard."
I killed several undead wizards, and was able to move freely among the black bone dragons. Ibola's outstanding performance in the deep enemy formation only brought local chaos to the enemy, and could not effectively alleviate the bad situation I was facing for the time being. Moreover, it was difficult to make a breakthrough in the encirclement and suppression of Ibola. I was provoked by Ibola to wander around, but I could not effectively stop it from wandering freely to hurt more undead wizards. The enemy's accumulated anger was vented on me and more than 4,000 black bone dragons, who were relatively obvious targets and easier to attack. The offensive against us became more and more fierce, which brought us great pressure. Not to mention that the black bone dragon army was huge, it took some time to dispatch them to be specifically placed in place, maintain a good formation, and exert the greatest combat effectiveness. At the same time, when changing the direction of attack and the formation, it would not leave too many loopholes for the enemy to take advantage of, resulting in greater losses, which would affect the speed of the entire team's assault. I did not have the tyrannical strength of Ibola to repel the black bone dragons alone and shuttle freely in the enemy formation. Although my body has become smaller after I transformed into a bat, in the chaos of the army, attacks are everywhere, and in many cases, it is almost impossible to avoid them. Even with the "outside body incarnation" technique, it is difficult to effectively avoid all the damage. And "teleportation" can only be performed while standing on the ground, and after the demon spirit possesses me, I can no longer perform any other skills. If I want to break through and escape, I can still attack them by surprise. The current goal is not to break through alone, but to lead the black bone dragons under my command to fight with the opponent. Strive to bring them greater losses. There are hostile black bone dragons rushing forward to chase and intercept them from all directions. It is too early to choose to be down-to-earth. It is definitely difficult to cope with the fierce attacks of the hostile black bone dragons that come one after another, and I can only waste the limited number of times to summon the demon spirit to possess me. All of this restricts my performance. Facing the hostile black bone dragons that have an absolute advantage in numbers, I have no power to confront them head-on. We can only rely on the efficiency of unified command and flexibly choose the relatively weak links of the enemy formation to attack, and try our best to fight for the space for survival and activities, so as to avoid being trapped by the enemy. Once we are surrounded by the hostile black bone dragons, we will be unable to escape and lose the space for movement. What awaits me and my more than 4,000 black bone dragons is a quick defeat and annihilation.
It seems that the "Anti-Stupid Alliance" dared to challenge me and even turned against me and started a war. They had indeed made a lot of preparations and had a full action plan. Each undead wizard who participated in the war had dozens of black bone dragons guarding him. They guarded against Ibola's surprise attack and had a very effective plan of pursuit and siege, which made it impossible for Ibola to kill the target quickly. They had to frequently change the attack area and dared not stay in one place for too long, which reduced the harm they brought to them. Moreover, when several undead wizards had been killed, there was still no sign of internal shaking and division. Instead, they increased the intensity of their siege on me. It seems that they also wanted to capture the thief first and then kill me, the culprit, to achieve their goal of provoking a war. Without my direct control, Ibola's danger was resolved by itself and it was no longer a threat.
I commanded the black bone dragons to fight desperately and fight in all directions. Although we used mobile warfare to gain a local numerical advantage and defeated and killed many hostile black bone dragons, the enemy still had an absolute advantage overall. They pressed us to chase and kill us, forcing us not to dare to fight in one place. We had to give up many opportunities and suffered heavy losses. After a chaotic battle, we did not gain any advantage. A good cook cannot cook without rice. With less than one-tenth of the enemy's men, I was commanded by myself. I needed to take care of everything and pay attention to the wars on many sides. It was actually quite difficult to achieve such a record. If I had not been worried about the misfortunes of my tenth-level undeads and was reluctant to send them to the battlefield easily, perhaps my situation would not be so embarrassing - if I assembled them into an assault team, and cooperated with Ibola's hinterland offensive, it would definitely distract a considerable part of the enemy's attention, and my pressure would be reduced a lot, which should be able to cause greater damage to the enemy. As the enemy further adjusted their deployment and intensified their offensive, my men continued to suffer casualties, and the space available for guerrilla activities became smaller and smaller. We encountered obstacles everywhere and were constantly intercepted. If the situation continues to develop in this way, once the enemy forms an iron wall encirclement, even if I want to command my men to fight my way out of the encirclement and escape, I am afraid it will be impossible.
The battle was still too simple. I didn't have enough strength to fight the opponent head-on. Ibola went deep into the enemy's camp alone, hoping to attack from the center, but his strength was too weak. Facing the harassment and restraint of many black bone dragons, the opponent's defenses became more and more strict. Every time he killed a necromancer, he needed more time and energy, which made Ibola's attack efficiency lower and lower when he fought alone and without external support. Although he still had the "undying ability" and could be reduced to the tenth level and fight again after his energy was exhausted, the threat to the black bone dragon would be much smaller, and it would be more difficult to kill the necromancer under heavy protection, and the situation would not change much. Moreover, the cohesion of the "Anti-Stupid Alliance" seems to be stronger than I expected. More than a dozen undead wizards have been killed by Ebola. From the performance of many undead wizards before their death, it can be seen that they are very concerned about the loss of 5% of their mental power limit, but there is still no sign of shaking or splitting. I don’t know what kind of agreement or interest relationship exists behind this, which makes them so united and determined to endure with me. As the war continues and becomes more and more intense, the shadows of several major forces such as Qiu Shui Chang Tian, Tian Xing, and Ye You are becoming clearer and clearer in my mind. Without their hidden support or even manipulation behind the scenes, I don’t believe that the so-called "Anti-Stupid Alliance" has such a strong determination to fight me to the death. Weakening my strength as the "No. 1 Undead Wizard in the World" and the backbone of the Dragon System, which is too popular, can also bring considerable benefits to them.
When you are poor, you must change. If you change, you will succeed. It seems that the situation can no longer be delayed. It is time to change tactics. Otherwise, the situation will become more and more unfavorable to me. If I don't muddy the waters, interfere with the opponent's command and orderly actions, and destroy their encirclement and blockade plans, I will not have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters or even turn defeat into victory. Of course, with my current strength, I can no longer play any new tactics or make any big waves. It seems that "foreign aid" has to appear on the scene. Although there are also considerable risks, in order to be able to deal a greater blow to the opponent and strive for a chance to win on the front line. I finally decided to activate the safest or most dangerous emergency response plan, take a risk, and don't let these guys who dare to offend me have a good end, so that those guys hidden behind the scenes can easily succeed.
After receiving my order, Ibola gave up the action of killing those undead wizards and quickly escaped from the group of black bone dragons. He flew away at full speed. Those black bone dragons were guarding against him advancing in the depth direction and blocking him from attacking other undead wizards. They were not prepared for Ibola's sudden escape from the formation and were easily escaped. However, they did not relax their vigilance against Ibola's departure. They still arranged some black bone dragons to be on guard outside to prevent him from suddenly attacking again. At the same time, they concentrated their efforts to strengthen the siege on me, intending to take advantage of the lack of Ibola's interference to defeat the group of black bone dragons under my command. This temporarily increased my pressure and the situation became even more precarious. It was impossible to hold on for too long.
All hopes were placed on Ibola. It fled far away, of course, not to save its life first, but to meet the "foreign aid". I was reluctant to let my level 10 subordinates suffer any damage. Besides, other subordinates, including the upper level 10 Eight Extreme Yin Demon Black Mountain Old Demon and the Eight Mountain Arm Giant Magician Giant Spirit, lacked the ability to come and go freely among the army like Ibola, and could not pose too much threat to the undead wizards themselves who were protected by many black bone dragons, so as to vent my anger. In this respect, the four blood-sucking fang princes, Sablotu, Salado, Sakayi, and Samifa, who were closer to Ibola, had four forms, suitable for air and land combat, and could fight or flee. Facing the black bone dragon of only level 9, they should not be a threat to them. Anyway, they were not my subordinates, and as royal family, they could not sign a "soul contract" to subdue them. As long as one was left for Sama to be promoted, it would be fine. Sacrificing one or two would not be a pity.
The whereabouts of the four vampire fang princes have always been under my control. Since I learned from Qingwu Feiyang that the "Anti-Stupid Alliance" intended to cause trouble for me regarding the control of the holy land "Karamayi", I have made some arrangements in advance to be prepared for the conflict that is likely to occur. I sent out Yibo La, who released his aura to lead the four vampire fang princes who had been looking for it to an area not too far from "Karamayi", and then suddenly restrained his aura and hid, allowing them to search nearby. Before directly triggering this war, I sent out Yibo La to lure the four vampire fang princes closer when I was offline and resting. Now I only need Yibo La to fly out at full speed for a while, temporarily give up my deliberate suppression of it with the power of the "Soul Contract", and let it release all its aura, which can easily attract the attention of Shebrotu and others and chase .
Everything was just as I expected. Sensing the evil aura of Ebola, the four vampire princes quickly rushed towards it, and asked Ebola to stay there for a while. After further confirmation, I asked Ebola to return to the black bone dragon group and continue the task of killing the undead wizard. Of course, before Sablotu and the others arrived and caused new riots, Ebola was just bluffing and feinting to attract the opponent's attention to relieve the pressure on my side, so as to save energy and wait for the most suitable time to attack with all my strength and deal a greater blow to the opponent.
Through the observation of the spies left on the periphery, the four vampire fang princes have already rushed close to the group of black bone dragons. They clearly sensed that Ibola was in the formation. Naturally, they went forward bravely without any fear. After all, facing the "undead public enemy", everyone would kill him. It was normal for Ibola to be chased by the black bone dragons. Regardless of whether there was any relationship between them, they were now on the same side. It was a pity that this was just the wishful thinking of the vampire fang princes. The black bone dragons on the opposite side were subdued by the undead wizards. They had no free will, their actions were controlled by people, and they could not act according to their instincts. Their duty was to resist the invasion of foreign enemies and protect the safety of the undead wizards in the inner layer. The four of Sablotu did not have the "own people" mark made by the "soul contract", and they rushed over closely following Ibola, obviously wanting to intervene in the war. In the midst of the melee, for a moment, there were probably few undead wizards who could connect the undead nature of those chasing the Knights of Destruction with the four vampire fang princes rushing over. As they approached, many black bone dragons immediately launched attacks on Sablotu and the others.
