Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 339: Ultimate Destruction
As the headquarters of the Church of Light, the Western Continent does not have any targets that our resistance alliance must capture or destroy. That would be too difficult and unrealistic. The "Western Disturbance" action proposed by Long Xing Tianxia did not expect to achieve the purpose or effect of "encircling Wei to save Zhao". The difficulties encountered in the direct battle between the Western Continent and the Church of Light would be much greater than the decisive battle in the Southern Continent. I am afraid that it would be something that the Church of Light would be eager for. If we are not careful, it will cause greater losses to our resistance alliance and waste more time. The main purpose is to disrupt their strategic deployment by dividing troops to harass the Western Continent, the rear base of the Church of Light. After all, most of the light players who reinforced the Southern Continent were dispatched from the Western Continent. If the base is unstable, it is likely to have a certain impact on the organization and dispatch of the Church of Light. More importantly, it can provide necessary cover for the personnel transfer of our resistance alliance. The members of the southern continent only account for a small part. Most of the alliance players are transferred from the northern continent, especially the eastern Tai continent. There is a lack of sufficient footholds in the southern continent as cover. The Church of Light has the advantage of geographical location and people. It is easy to detect the large-scale personnel transfer of our resistance alliance, so as to accurately determine our specific attack time and attack target. With the help of the "Western Disturbance" operation, our resistance alliance can openly carry out personnel transfers, intersperse activities between several continents, change the "hard battle " mode that has been used before, and implement "mobile warfare". Repeated and multi-faceted deception and confusion of the enemy make it more difficult for the Church of Light to determine our true intentions. As long as the Church of Light cannot accurately predict the next destruction target of our resistance alliance and cannot take targeted precautions in advance, it can fully play the effect of the surprise attack of the main attacking party, seize the initiative, and buy the time needed to destroy the Cathedral of Light in one fell swoop.
The failure of the first two attacks has made us clearly realize the power of the Church of Light in the southern continent. It is not as easy to deal with as the northern and eastern continents before. The resistance alliance blindly relies on its strength to attack and confront the Church of Light head-on. It is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also has great losses. The final result is not guaranteed. The success rate of the strong attack can be said to be quite low. It may not be possible to complete the task of destroying the Cathedral of Light in the ten main cities in the remaining nine months. Therefore, in the absence of any better way for the time being, the Dark Council discussed and passed Long Xingtian's proposal and decided to carry out the "Western Disturbance" operation while implementing the "Southern Expedition" plan to harass the headquarters of the Church of Light, try to avoid a head-on confrontation with the main force of the Church of Light, and disrupt the situation to better cover the actions of our resistance alliance and have more opportunities for us to fish in troubled waters.
Of course, to achieve the intended purpose of the "Western Disturbance" operation, it is not enough to simply dispatch members of the resistance alliance to the Western continent to carry out harassment and sabotage. The specific implementation strategies and methods must be carefully designed. However, these are all things that "strategists" such as Long Xing Tianxia and Desert Eagle worry about. I can only be regarded as a "war general" responsible for executing the plan that has been formulated. It is not my turn to worry about it. The initial "Western Disturbance" operation plan is to select a part of the elite combat force to invade the Western continent under the cover of a simulated actual combat exercise operation that almost mobilizes all members of the resistance alliance, "burn, kill, loot, and rob" to wreak havoc, and try to create more trouble for those light players, and make the momentum as big as possible. It would be best to force the Church of Light to pay some attention and dispatch some Light players to garrison the Western Continent to be responsible for defense, reducing the troops they put into the Southern Continent. Even if it fails, frequent personnel transfers can effectively confuse the attention of the Church of Light, making it impossible for them to clearly grasp the situation in the Southern Continent as before, and it is easier for them to detect the specific movements of our resistance alliance.
This kind of action is actually what I am best at. Without the restrictions of the relatively limited geographical environment of the Cathedral of Light, as well as the complaints and constraints of my companions, I can summon Khufu and the eleven pharaohs to my heart's content and set up the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Lock Array" to trap the enemy. In addition, there is the Vampire Fang Emperor after the fusion of the four vampire fang princes such as Shaman, and Heinrich and Haishar who have been successfully transformed into the Black Dragon King and Ghost Knight King. I have a group of companions to fight together, and I also have the ability of "return in wartime" attached to "Death Control". I don't have to worry about the safety of my main subordinates. Even if I encounter the siege of too powerful light NPCs or light players, I have enough confidence to keep the main subordinates safe. Even if I die in the battle in the end, I can kill several times or even dozens of times more enemies, so as not to damage my invincible reputation as "the world's number one master." This makes the vast Western Continent a battlefield where I can roam freely without fear of any challenge. Even if I encounter the joint pursuit of two old rivals, the level 10 Cardinal Sampras and the Knight of Light Hanover, as long as I can have ten or twenty minutes to prepare, as these level 10 light NPCs are temporarily unable to summon the more powerful Angel of God Michael and the four holy angels Gabriel to descend or possess them, with the help of my companions, I will not let them take too much advantage and will be able to confront them head-on.
Originally, I was planning to delay the glorious tradition of "riding alone for thousands of miles" that I had interrupted for a long time, and invade the Western Continent to make a big fuss. Unfortunately, I had just entered the Western Continent twice, and before I could provoke my old rivals Sampras and Hanover, or force the Church of Light to adopt corresponding countermeasures, I had to regretfully withdraw from the "Western Disturbance" operation temporarily because of a sudden incident, and I could no longer continue to participate in the "Southern Expedition" plan. I was forced to return to the "Dead Soul Space". The matter was not serious, but it was an old trouble that was unavoidable - another undead subordinate began to evolve. The need to constantly absorb my mental power as part of the energy supplement made me unsuitable for participating in more intense battles. This was also a side effect that too many undead subordinates who could evolve had to bear. It took ten days and half a month each time, and it might happen at any time. It was really too troublesome. Especially in the critical period when "Tianxia Yi" was approaching the end, I didn't want to waste my limited time on some unimportant subordinates. This is also the most important reason why I am willing to give up Gonzalez and even Silando, who are capable of evolving into level 10 volcanic undead. If their autonomous evolution is really unavoidable, I even consider canceling the "soul contract" that has been signed with them or even killing them directly, so as to completely solve the problem that would delay my precious time of ten days or half a month. It's a pity that the undead who evolved this time are one of my most important combat forces, but they cannot be lost. I can only ask Long Xingtianxia for leave at such a critical moment and cannot continue to participate in the "Western Raid" operation.
The first to evolve was the high-level Destruction Knight Ebola with the wind attribute. After such a long period of growth, especially with the help of me, the necromancer, through the "Soul Contract", it finally accumulated enough energy. The secondary attribute wind attribute energy and "undead ability" attached to it have also been fully stored up to the maximum state that it can absorb, and it is beginning to evolve into the top-level Ultimate Destruction Knight. Except for the need to constantly absorb my mental power during the evolution period of about half a month, which prevents me from doing some more dangerous things, there should be no other unexpected situations. There is no need to worry too much about the process of Ebola's evolution - with me, the necromancer master, as a backing, and no "evil forces" like Hades secretly playing tricks, it will definitely be able to complete the evolution smoothly. However, the most critical thing is what will definitely happen after it completes the evolution, which is the most difficult test related to Ebola's life and death. As a "public enemy of death", the Knight of Destruction, after completing the evolution according to the normal process, still needs to go through a test of "natural disaster" before it can be considered a real evolution success and can continue to survive in the "Dead Space" in a higher form.
Most of my mental power was absorbed by Yibo La. In order to avoid any damage caused by Wei Long, I dared not go deeper into the Ghost Knight Kingdom to subdue those level 10 Ghost Knights. After all, it was an away game there. There were at least eight pairs of true and false Ghost Knight Kings lurking in the dark. If they took advantage of my weakness to launch a heavy attack on me, the invader, I was afraid it would be really troublesome. Therefore, I chose to develop in the area near "Dragon Bone Mountain" and subdue those level 10 Black Dragon Kings, Undead Ghost Phoenixes and Eight Extreme Yin Demons whose traces were found. I could also subdue the giant magician population found in the area near the holy land "Karamayi" and transform them at the same time, using black bone dragons or even black dragon kings as mounts for six-armed and level 10 eight-armed giant magicians to further enhance my strength.
However, what he was most concerned about was the disaster test that Ebola was about to encounter. From the intermediate Destruction Knight to the advanced Destruction Knight, he had already experienced the "Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation". Could it be that from the advanced Destruction Knight to the Ultimate Destruction Knight, he would encounter more than a dozen thunder tribulations? According to Ebola's relevant experience and some of the conditions he sensed when he was about to start evolving, it seemed that it would not be that simple. After all, the Ultimate Destruction Knight was the top existence in the "Dead Soul Space", especially as the "Public Enemy of the Undead", it was destined to be a great threat to other undead creatures, so the probability of passing the final test could be said to be very small. Under normal circumstances, it was not necessarily possible for one of the ten advanced Destruction Knights to successfully pass this last level of "Heavenly Tribulation" and evolve into a true Ultimate Destruction Knight.
If it were in the past, I could only worry and watch the development of things, but it would be difficult for me to help. However, now I can pay the corresponding professional merit as a price and go to the tenth-level necromancer NPC to seek answers to difficult questions - Ibola is evolving into the Ultimate Destruction Knight, and will soon face the test of the most powerful "heavenly tribulation", which has met the conditions for consulting related questions. As I wished, I got the test of the "ultimate heavenly tribulation" that the Ultimate Destruction Knight might face from the tenth-level necromancer NPC who presided over daily affairs in the "Undead Castle", but the result shocked me. It can be called a super luxurious lineup - the test of the "ultimate heavenly tribulation" is not one level, but must pass three levels in a row, that is, three "heavenly tribulations" will come one after another: "thunder tribulation", "ice tribulation", plus the last and most powerful "human tribulation". No wonder ordinary high-level Destruction Knights rarely become true Ultimate Destruction Knights after evolution. Most of them will die under the "Heavenly Tribulation" - two more tribulations at once, each more powerful than the last. Ordinary high-level Destruction Knights are mostly in a state of "malnutrition". Even Ibola, who got my help in the later period, was restricted greatly because of his poor innate foundation. It was difficult for him to break through the shackles of his innate foundation and make a big breakthrough. The improvement of his strength would be restricted by these conditions, and it was usually difficult to reach the peak state in the Ultimate Destruction Knight form. Facing such a powerful "Ultimate Heavenly Tribulation", it was too difficult to successfully survive it.
The so-called "thunder tribulation" is still the "nine-fold thunder tribulation" experienced before, and the "ice tribulation" is coordinated with the "thunder tribulation", which means they are mixed together and come at the same time. There are also nine layers, collectively known as the "two layers of ice and thunder", and their power is several times greater than that of either of them being performed separately. Even if he can successfully pass the test of "The Two Worlds of Ice and Thunder", there is still a "human calamity" waiting for the Ultimate Knight of Destruction, who may have been seriously injured in the "Two Worlds of Ice and Thunder". The so-called "human calamity" is naturally a test from the undead inherent in the "Dead Space". However, the ones who come to trouble Ebola are not ordinary undead, but the most powerful existence in the "Dead Space", the Chief Judge, who will come forward in person to test Ebola. Of course, it is impossible to ask Ebola to defeat the powerful Chief Judge, not to mention Ebola himself, even if I, the undead wizard master, try my best, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat the Chief Judge. Therefore, it is only required that Ebola go through the test of "The Two Worlds of Ice and Thunder" and then survive twelve hours under the pursuit of the Chief Judge. Even if it successfully passes the "ultimate heavenly calamity", it will be recognized as the qualification of the Ultimate Knight of Destruction.
