Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 309: Massive Invasion
I am quite satisfied with the result. Qiushui Changtian, Tianxing, Qingwu Feiyang, Yeyou and other top necromancers are also very happy. The eleven necromancers "God-defying" blood clans received equal rewards. I think their basic mental attributes after improvement should have crossed the threshold of the seventh level and the fifth level, reaching the level of Super Silver Level 1. If there is no special opportunity, it is almost impossible to break through to the Super Silver level with only the ninth level necromancer and the second profession of the sixth level magician. Such an achievement can be said to be extremely outstanding. The advantage of basic mental attributes alone can enable us to obtain the priority to advance to the tenth level of the necromancer holy spirit mage under the condition that the accumulated professional merit value is not too different. The existence of each necromancer race "law enforcer" is not only to maintain the balance in the "necromancer space", restrict the disorderly development of our necromancers, and avoid overly radical and too fast expansion, but also provides us with a way to improve the basic mental attributes. As long as we have enough strength, we have the opportunity to surpass ordinary people and become a more powerful necromancer.
Of course, the greater the benefits, the greater the risks. In order to defeat the powerful blood clan "law enforcer" Sanadan, we also paid a considerable price - a total of eight participating necromancers were killed by Sanadan, and their mental power limit was permanently reduced by 5%. Fortunately, they were all mercenaries, with the main purpose of making money, and they did not have too high requirements for their own strength. Unfortunately, they were able to receive generous compensation from their respective employers, which was a worthy death. Moreover, none of our eleven top necromancers directly involved in the case were killed. In addition to paying a considerable amount of expenses, it did not damage the overall strength of our top necromancer professionals. This result is acceptable. However, the losses of the Black Bone Dragons were much greater. According to preliminary statistics, in the "Heaven-Defying War" that lasted for more than 30 hours, excluding the more than 10,000 Black Bone Dragons that had to leave the battle because their masters were killed, the number of Black Bone Dragons that died directly in the battle alone exceeded 30,000. Sanadan himself did not kill too many, and most of them died under the "Heavenly Punishment" skill "Blood and Rain". Many of them were killed by "Blood and Rain" on our own initiative. If it were not for the use of such cruel tactics to speed up the consumption of Sanadan's mental and physical strength, our players' energy would not be able to sustain the battle for too long, and I am afraid that it would continue to delay for a while before the result could be determined. By then, once we are exhausted and unable to effectively dodge attacks or even forced to retreat, we will pay a heavier price and may even lose this "Heaven-Defying War". Among the six thousand black bone dragons I dispatched to join the battle, more than three thousand were killed or wounded. This was thanks to the strong cover provided by other undead wizards. Otherwise, as they were the focus of Satan's attention, the losses would probably have been even greater. Fortunately, the tenth-level undead subordinates headed by Ibola and Wu Ma who joined the battle in the later period did not suffer any casualties, so I didn't feel too sad.
In addition, for me, becoming a "god-defying person" of the blood race and breaking away from the normal constraints of "law enforcers" brings more benefits than these. The war had just subsided, and people like Yeyou, True Son of Heaven, Longma Spirit, and even some top necromancers such as Empire Age and Infernal Walker who had not originally expressed their intentions, reiterated or proposed to me the request to purchase the "blood transformation" ability, and no longer united to deliberately lower the price. The transfer price offered was much higher than before, and gradually approached my expected value. After I once again reiterated that the number of people who were given the "blood transformation" ability was limited, and they were definitely the last two, and the transaction was open, and those who met my needs would get it first, indirectly reminding them that the opportunity was not to be missed, and it would never come back. The competition was unprecedentedly fierce. Especially those top players who had the hope of advancing to the tenth-level Undead Holy Spirit Mage were unwilling to give up easily, and kept contacting me, refreshing their offers, which made me very happy. It seems that they were indeed concerned about the threat of the blood clan's "law enforcers" that could arrive at any time, so they did not dare to invest too early, fearing that they would lose more. Now that the big thing has been decided and the future troubles have been eliminated, they have jumped out one after another, trying their best to possess the "blood transformation" ability so that their strength can be further improved, and they can gain a certain advantage in the increasingly fierce competition for the tenth-level professional places.
I am not a greedy person. At the same time, Yeyou and Zhenmingtianzi are players with rich game experience. The price they offer for the "blood transformation" ability is not too high, which exceeds the actual benefits it can bring. After all, the drop rate or manufacturing success rate of high-level holy artifacts is still very low. They are scarce items. Even for top players, it is still not easy to get a set of top-level equipment, not to mention that I have to choose equipment that I don’t have and is suitable for my needs. There is not much room for choice. Moreover, those players come to my door every day to compete for the exchange conditions with me. I am almost annoyed. There are still many things that need me to work hard, and it is impossible to spend too much time and thought on this. Therefore, after encountering the equipment I need, I quickly agreed and determined the ownership of the "blood transformation" ability twice. The seventh "blood change" ability of the blood lich Temur was given to Yeyou, who was also determined to win, and the eighth "blood change" ability was won by Longma Spirit. In order to ensure that he could be promoted to the tenth-level Undead Holy Spirit Mage profession and participate in the final light and darkness final battle, he spared no effort to strengthen his own strength and refused to let go of any opportunity easily. He even asked Long Xingtianxia to intercede, so that under the same conditions, I chose him as the object of the transaction first, and was able to obtain the qualification of the blood lich to give the "first embrace" for the last time. Moreover, the payment was made first and the delivery was made later. The time for redemption was several months later. After Temur had "first embraced" Yeyou and recovered his vitality, he could be given the "blood change" ability.
Through this transaction, I got two pieces of high-level holy artifact-level equipment I needed, increased my mental power limit, and gained 3% more "requiem" attributes. In addition, my basic mental power attribute was upgraded to super silver level 2 light silver, and the basic mental power that can be increased by using the "blood change" ability has also reached 20%. My strength has been further enhanced, not only in quantity, but also in quality. In the "blood change" state, I can use the "summoning of the undead" to summon a tenth-level upper-level undead subordinate, which makes me more confident to compete with top players of other professions. I am full of expectations for the last "World Heroes Conference" in more than a month, and hope to successfully defend the honor of "the world's number one master", reproduce my glory, and create another miracle.
In the "Heaven-Defying War", more than 3,000 Black Bone Dragons were killed, which was a big loss. However, I didn't care about replenishing their numbers for the time being. After busying myself with the transaction of transferring the "blood transformation" ability twice, I urged Qiu Shui Chang Tian to fulfill the agreement quickly and rush with me to the distant Ghost Knight Kingdom located in the depths of the Lost Continent to set up a teleportation magic circle there to facilitate my subsequent development work. After all, the sacred place of the giant magician clan "Karamayi" and the third forbidden place "Hell Volcano" on the native continent are also development areas that I cannot give up. They occupy a very important position in my development plan. I need to rush in from time to time to deal with related affairs. If I want to develop the Ghost Knight Kingdom, the first prerequisite is to ensure smooth transportation. At least I must be able to shuttle back and forth quickly, and I won't delay too much time in the middle, which will affect my development in other areas. If it takes several days just to rush back and forth, such development will only be at the expense of other interests, which is simply unrealistic.
After learning from me about the existence of the Ghost Knight Kingdom and the huge development value it contains, and understanding the related benefits that can be brought by developing them, Qiu Shui Changtian also showed great interest. In addition to my strong urging, he finally did not deliberately shirk his responsibility and promised me to start the action quickly. First, he gathered the other ten undead wizards who participated in the deployment of the teleportation magic circle, prepared the three holy magic crystals of the black holy beasts, and set off according to the coordinates I gave. Because the distance is too far, the participants are all top-level undead wizards. Fortunately, through the challenge of the blood clan "law enforcer", the basic mental attributes of several of us have been improved to a certain extent. Qiu Shui Changtian and several other top-level undead wizards have also broken through the super silver level, which should not exceed the distance limit of the teleportation magic circle and can be smoothly deployed at the place I want to reach. Fortunately, the blood clan "law enforcer" appeared a while late, otherwise Qiu Shui Changtian's own basic mental attribute would have reached the super silver level, and he would definitely not let me participate in the deployment of the teleportation magic circle. It would be impossible for me to take the opportunity to gain the right to deploy a teleportation magic circle in the area near the Ghost Knight Kingdom. It would be more troublesome to develop there.
Undead subordinates cannot use teleportation magic arrays, and it takes about ten days to go back and forth. I don't want to delay Taotao's growth, so I turned into a bat and flew on the road. I also brought three thousand black bone dragon subordinates with me, not to protect me, but to act as the main force for early development after arriving at the Ghost Knight Kingdom. This is almost all of my mobile black bone dragon main combat troops. I have high expectations for the Ghost Knight Kingdom, a "powerful land" that has not yet been set foot by undead wizards. I dare not expect to completely rule such a vast area. At least I have to become a vassal of one side, strive to occupy the largest piece of the pie, and gain more benefits from it. Undead wizards who are determined to use the pseudo-artifact "space beacon" as a means of transportation can set off a few days later, but according to their different purposes, they either explore and investigate first, or prepare to invest in development immediately. They also sent different numbers of black bone dragon subordinates to the Ghost Knight Kingdom according to the provided coordinates in advance, and they all showed different degrees of interest in the Ghost Knight Kingdom that they were about to set foot in.
After several days of hard and boring trekking, we finally arrived near the Ghost Knight Kingdom. In order to save time, the necromancers selected to participate in the deployment of this teleportation magic circle either have the ability of "blood bat transformation" or possess the pseudo-artifact "space beacon", so as not to lag behind too much in speed and delay the time of other companions. Therefore, our twelve necromancers basically arrived on this day and gathered at the scheduled gathering place as planned. Several necromancers did not want to waste time and headed for a deeper location, so they deployed a teleportation magic circle near the outermost edge of the Ghost Knight Kingdom, laying the foundation for our timely development back and forth.
After setting up the teleportation magic circle, it was time to go our separate ways and develop on our own. As the initiator of the action, I invested the main force and dispatched up to 3,000 black bone dragons, who were the most powerful. As the saying goes, first come first served, I naturally invaded the ghost knight's territory closest to the teleportation magic circle without hesitation, preparing to occupy it as my sphere of influence. A large group of black bone dragons surrounded it, posing as if they were going to "encircle the land". Qiu Shui Changtian and the others wisely chose to go to other areas for exploration. Even if they wanted to rob me, with the few people they brought, they couldn't beat me even if they joined forces, and it was impossible for them to get an advantage. Ignoring Qiu Shui Changtian and the others' actions, I was determined to search for the traces of the ghost archers and ghost lancers, giving priority to them as the targets of conquest. They were the indispensable members of the long-range attack force that I was eager to establish. If I select the upper-level level nine individuals among them and transform them into ghost archer dragon cavalry and ghost javelin dragon cavalry with the help of black bone dragon mounts, their combat effectiveness will definitely be further enhanced. Together with the giant magician dragon knight, they will become an important combat force under my command.
After entering the territory of the Ghost Knight Kingdom, I felt its vastness even more. Even in the sparsely distributed border areas, Ghost Knights can still be seen everywhere. According to the supplementary exploration report provided by the expedition team, except for the Ghost Archer Cavalry and Ghost Lancer Cavalry, who are accustomed to group activities by nature, other types of Ghost Knights are generally wandering individuals, living freely in a fixed area, and will not easily cross the border. Unless there are individuals with higher intelligence and stronger strength in a certain area, they will take the initiative to defeat and subdue other Ghost Knights, make them obey their leadership, and gradually establish Ghost Knight groups of varying sizes. Ghost Knights are extremely aggressive by nature, and there is no clear division of activity ranges between different populations. They are usually mixed together, which can easily cause friction and lead to violent conflicts and fights. However, due to their loose organizational structure, the scale will not be too large, mainly occurring between individuals and small populations. It is rare to have hundreds of Ghost Knights involved. However, these ghost knights are very xenophobic and will treat the invasion of alien undead spirits in no uncertain terms. They will definitely help when they see injustice. If the battle cannot be resolved and calmed down quickly, it will often evolve into a large-scale riot and lead to mass attacks. The expedition team has suffered several such losses and was gathered by more and more ghost knights, and lost some of their undead subordinates.
According to normal practice, for such a situation, it is most prudent to invade steadily and advance, and gradually conquer and erode. This can effectively avoid the possibility of provoking the Ghost Knights to attack in groups and reduce the risk of invasion. However, I don't have such good patience, and I can't spare too much time to spend in the Ghost Knight Kingdom. I can't deal with the Ghost Knights in an orderly manner like when I first started to develop. Anyway, this time I brought 3,000 Black Bone Dragons, and these Ghost Knights in the border areas are not densely distributed, and the scale of the assembled groups is not large, at most there are only dozens of Ghost Knights. If they want to resist in groups, it will be difficult for them to form a large scale in a short time. In comparison, my strength is sufficient. As long as I act quickly, end the battle and stop the dispute in the shortest possible time, and don't alarm more Ghost Knights, there will be no danger of triggering a formal "Undead War". Originally, I had this plan based on the exploration report submitted to me by the expedition team. After a field investigation, I felt that it was indeed feasible. I finally decided to take a more radical and risky approach and invade on a large scale. I hope to win over more Ghost Knights within a limited time, enrich my strength, and initially establish my sphere of influence before more Undead Wizards come to the Ghost Knight Kingdom to seek development. This will consolidate my strong position and better avoid unnecessary disputes.
At the outermost edge, the distribution of ghost knights is relatively sparse, and they can act more recklessly. At that moment, I commanded three thousand black bone dragons to rush in together, attacking every ghost knight they saw, and strive to defeat them in the shortest time, effectively controlling the situation from being too turbulent, and avoiding attracting more ghost knights' attention. I only need to hurry up and sign "soul contracts" with those ghost knights who have been defeated and lost their ability to resist. It can be said to be the fastest tactic. Of course, if the black bone dragons are allowed to attack with all their strength and advance quickly, it is difficult to control the severity of the attack, and the probability of accidental killing will be quite high. However, I am not very interested in ordinary ghost knights. The key is to subdue the ghost archers and ghost lancers, as well as the ghost knights who have reached level 10. It doesn't matter if those level 9 melee ghost knights are killed, but it saves me time to sign the "soul contract". What I take is the route of rapid expansion, "encircling" piece by piece, eliminating dissidents, and gradually expanding the sphere of influence under my control.
Three thousand Black Bone Dragons swarmed in and pressed forward. Every ghost knight they encountered would be dealt with by several Black Bone Dragons. At most, they were also upper level nine, and had no power to resist . They would be defeated or even killed soon. After the army passed, there were survivors left on the ground, struggling in vain, losing the ability to resist. I followed behind and worked hard, quickly subduing the injured ghost knights who fell to the ground one by one. Although there was no danger, the workload was very heavy. I needed to run back and forth and constantly extend my fingers to sign the "soul contract", which was not easy at all. At the same time, I also needed to pay attention to directing the attack of the Black Bone Dragons, adjusting their advancement speed, and keeping up with the momentum. I also had to pay attention to protecting the ghost archers and ghost lancers who were the focus of the subjugation, so as to prevent the Black Bone Dragons from hitting them too hard and killing too many of them. As for the level 10 ghost knights, although their appearance did not have very obvious characteristics, they had strong strength and wisdom, and would not be easily killed by the Black Bone Dragons. As long as I paid attention to the overall situation at the right time, it was still easy to find them, but there were not many of them in the border areas, so I had not found any traces of them yet.
I felt that the advance of the black bone dragon army had caused great turmoil. Ghost knights kept moving and gathering around here. The battle had a tendency to expand further. If it continued, it might trigger a formal "Undead War". I began to retreat and gave up the initiative to attack. I was responsible for consolidating the achievements that had been made and subduing those ghost knights who were still defeated on the ground. Fortunately, although the ghost knights were aggressive, they did not have the habit of slaughtering their own kind who had lost their resistance. As the black bone dragons retreated quickly, the situation quickly subsided and the area returned to peace. I was such a small target and did not actively attack the ghost knights, so I did not attract attention. The action of subduing these defeated ghost knights went smoothly. Because the main purpose now was to initially establish my sphere of influence in the ghost knight kingdom, I would not distinguish between good and bad, and all the surviving ghost knights would be subdued. When I had a sufficient number of local troops, I began to selectively subdue those necessary arms and high-level strongmen.
After several consecutive days and several attacks, the war went smoothly. Everything went according to my plan and I conquered a large number of ghost knights. However, I was exhausted. Every day when I went online and entered the "Dead Space", I began to organize the army of black bone dragons to launch offensives. Relying on the ability of rapid mobility and relatively strong strength, I defeated the ghost knights I encountered as soon as possible. I needed to constantly sign "soul contracts" with the defeated ghost knights. I ran back and forth and had almost no rest time. Since I shifted the focus of conquering to bone dragons, I have never been so hard. While conquering them, I also need to divide the ghost knights into several teams, and divide the work according to different arms, levels, and states. The ghost archers and ghost lancers in ghost form and upper level nine are kept to undergo the combined transformation with the black bone dragons, and trained to become stronger ghost archer dragoons and ghost lance dragoons with flying maneuvers and strong melee protection capabilities. The ghost knights in ghost form and upper level nine melee can serve as my main combat force like the black bone dragons, especially the ground knights' strong assault ability, which is more powerful than the black bone dragons, and is more suitable for attacking targets on the ground. The ghost knights in upper level nine, skeleton or zombie form are used as reserves, and they are not allowed to participate in the battle for the time being. They focus on strengthening their own strength as soon as possible, and wait until they grow into stronger ghost forms to play their role, so as to make more effective use of manpower. As for those lower-level and mid-level ghost knights of level nine, they are basically cannon fodder, used to perform daily patrol tasks and guard my sphere of influence. At the same time, after they have recovered their physical and mental strength, they assist the black bone dragon in launching attacks in order to end the battle more quickly and prevent more foreign ghost knights from being alarmed and rushing over to interfere with my actions.
Having initially established a foothold, I no longer defeated and subdued all the ghost knights I encountered. Moreover, as the sphere of influence gradually expanded, the distribution of ghost knights became more and more dense. The target of the black bone dragon was too obvious, which could easily cause greater turmoil. I changed the task of the subdued ghost knights to take the main attack, focusing on attacking ghost archers, ghost lancers, and extremely strong melee ghost knights who seemed to be at the upper level of level nine. I tried to subdue as many practical arms that could be used as possible to avoid wasting time. I also encountered several ghost knights at level ten. I discovered their existence in time and personally commanded my men to besiege them. I captured them alive one by one and signed a "soul contract" with them without losing any of them. However, their levels were not very high. Only one saber ghost knight named Haishar reached the middle level of level ten. The rest were at the lower level of level ten, and they were not of much use. They could only be consumables. Speaking of which, Haishaer's performance was quite eye-catching. He caused me a lot of trouble. Not only did he have strong strength, but he also gathered a large team of ghost knights. Although there were only a hundred of them, their levels were not low. Basically, they had reached the upper level of level nine and had grown into ghost form. There were also two lower level ten ghost knights following him. Probably because he was confident of his strength, he took the initiative to provoke me. He suddenly rushed over to attack me, killing dozens of my black bone dragon subordinates in one fell swoop, and disrupted my assault formation. I suffered a big loss. Fortunately, I reacted quickly. On the one hand, I showed the enemy weakness to lure them to chase me, and on the other hand, I secretly mobilized my men to encircle them in a roundabout way. I even personally participated in the battle, hoping to subdue this powerful group of ghost knights in one fell swoop. However, the opponents were too tenacious and fought back desperately. In order to end the battle as quickly as possible, I had to launch an all-out attack. At least two-thirds of them died on the spot and could not be subdued by me. Fortunately, Haishar, who had the most eye-catching performance, and the other two level-10 ghost knights were the ones I focused on, and they were not killed and became my subordinates.
