Chapter 549 Ivanso, City of the Undead(1/2)
Author: Night Knight
The one with the greatest impact belongs to another party involved, Ivanso.
Ivanso is not very large in terms of population or area, but its trade position on the Dragon Coast is very important.
It is located in the middle of the Trader's Road that starts from Iliaba in the west and ends at the West Gate in the east. It is connected to the wasteland path to Bosku in the northwest. In the future, it will probably be connected to the Conqueror's Road opened by the conqueror's army.
Although it is not a port city, it has the best storage warehouses in the Longhu area. Between it and the two big Longhu port towns of Yilip and Pros, there are thousands of large warehouses scattered across the vast land.
Most of those warehouses do not stand on the ground, but go deep into the ground through the low hills there. A large part of those warehouses originated from a dwarf city and have good waterproofing, moisture-proofing, and safety.
It is also guaranteed to be correct.
Those warehouses include legal warehouses belonging to one city or two towns, as well as secret warehouses secretly discovered and developed by illegal organizations.
Those two advantages established it as an irreplaceable trade transit advantage in the Dragon Coast region.
Normally speaking, with that kind of advantage, even if it has no way to surpass Ximen and become the largest city on the Dragon Coast, it should keep pace with it and become the second largest city after it.
It's a small town.
The reason for this is that it has been under the rule of the Necromancer in the past ten years. Many businessmen are full of distrust of the Necromancer and would rather walk a little longer than rest there, resulting in a large number of people.
Loss of trade opportunities.
Ivanso from Red Sky is somewhat popular.
When night falls, there are no lights or pedestrians in the streets and alleys. All the doors and windows are closed tightly, and they are made of thickened wooden boards. Even wild cats and dogs cannot be seen, let alone heard.
When the cats are barking and the dogs are barking, it's like a dead city with no one inhabiting it.
That point reaches an extreme in the city hall in the center.
The buildings there are all made of the most normal stone materials, and they do not use those scary bones or the like, but they exude the cold air of liquid from the inside out, and there is a hazy feeling, as if there is a part of it.
It is no longer in the material plane and has been dragged to another world.
Negative energy itself is indeed harmless to the human body. It is even an integral part of the human body. It is ubiquitous. There is more or less negative energy in negative emotions. Yongxuan also has some negative energy.
Measured wrongly.
But once anything is excessive and out of balance, problems are likely to occur. The situation of negative quanta is particularly serious, because in that world, there is a plane called the Shadow Plane that is filled with a large number of negative quanta.
The Plane of Shadow is not a measurable plane. The multiverse has a measurable plane specifically composed of measurables. To be more precise, the Plane of Shadow is not a measurable plane, and the one it does not correspond to is the measurable plane.
Wilderness, whether it is measurable.
A large amount of positive energy accumulated over a long period of time may not necessarily attract the Fairy Wilderness - what attracts the Fairy Wilderness is the power of nature and the power of life, which is a variant of the positive energy.
And the negative quanta accumulated in large quantities over a long period of time will definitely attract the shadow plane, just like the original Vizeme Manor, slowly eroding there, turning everything there into shadow, and slowly pulling it into the shadow plane.
noodle.
That is the reason why empires of the undead rarely appear in the material plane. Even if they do, the original ones will not exist permanently in the material plane, but after developing to a certain extent, the core class will be dragged into the shadow.
The plane ends.
That can be considered a self-protection mechanism in the material plane.
Ivanso has begun to show signs of that, especially in the city hall, half of which have already entered the shadow plane.
At the time, the Vizeme Estate also faced a similar situation, which even caused erosion of the Vizeme Vineyard.
At that time, Gavin even thought about building an evil god temple in the manor to suppress Nega. It was not until he captured the immortality from the Immortal Furies that he found a solution.
Ivanso obviously doesn't have the kind of legs that can't be restrained, so he can just let it overflow at will.
A sharp, angry male voice roared, as if he wanted to break through the top of the city hall, "Grace, I betrayed him and he wronged my trust. I have always told him that everything is under my control. That man used to
Will he accept my conditions and lead his army to leave here? Then let me tell him, what happened to those real phantoms spreading in the city? I don’t want to tell him, that doesn’t negate the actions they made, those Avengers
, very incapable of that kind of ability.”
The one who roared was naturally the supreme ruler of Ivanso, Arms. He was a standard necromancer. He was tall and thin, with no flesh on his body, just like a skeleton wearing human skin, and his whole body was covered with blood.
Wrapped in a faint black mist, it seems that it has been in contact with negative quantities for a long time and has been eroded by negative quantities.
Grace said calmly: "I'm afraid there's no way to put the blame entirely on him, right? Negotiating that kind of thing is inherently risky. He has tried his best to succeed, and what he wants most now is
, does not hold him accountable, but among them, there are many spies and traitors like Chuck. If it happens once, the traitor will no longer simply betray their intelligence, but will open the city defense fog barrier.
They don't want to be alone and helpless, but want to lose their heads."
"I don't need to say anything about that, he has already done it." Arms turned around and threw two heads, his skull face full of murderous intent. "He has always been regarded as the so-called Avengers."
Disaster, I didn't expect that they would go to such an extent to seek revenge. They would not hesitate to block everything, but also lurk around them, and even kill their own kind. Hey, those hypocritical guys are more demanding than them.
Abomination... I have the most contact with and know the most about the army of conquerors. If they don't go to war, what are their chances of winning?"
He himself also knew that whether he had just angered Grace or not, the other side had decided to go to war and what they wanted was not their own interests, so that was not the key.
The so-called justice and evil are nothing more than high-sounding reasons.
Otherwise, as soon as the conqueror's army arrived here, Ivanso would have been surrounded, and there would be no need to contact both sides at the same time and swing back and forth.
From the beginning to the end, they did not place their hopes on bribery, but made two-pronged preparations. Another task that Grace took on was to detect the strength of the conqueror's army and prepare for future wars.
"Very strong, very strong." Grace replied without thinking, "Without a field battle, they have no chance of winning. No matter whether they are extraordinary warriors or ordinary soldiers, they will crush them with all their strength.
But if they can't get out of the city, they have to think carefully about it. Leaking the news of the deadly poison has both advantages and disadvantages.
Without surprise, there was no way to cause a large number of casualties among their civilians.
But they don't dare to easily use the civilian army to attack the city, because if they are not careful, they will have more and more poisonous zombies and fewer and fewer enemies.
Their rulers are composed of their own extraordinary warbands and are very confident. They have previously fought against the Troll Legion and adopted elite beheading tactics.
They will most likely repeat their old tricks, using the method of overwhelming the army to hold back their ordinary soldiers, and then find a way to send their extraordinary battle group into the city to carry out beheading operations. As the world knows, please beg the undead army
If you kill the Necromancer, they will become a bunch of brainless puppets and it will be very easy to kill them.
They have a city defense secret lock that prohibits flying, invisibility and teleportation. Now they need to be vigilant about digging, especially since the east of Ivanso used to belong to the dwarf city and was connected to the warehouse area outside the city. He was afraid that they would come from that direction.
Find a breakthrough."
Grace is obviously not as simple as her self-proclaimed apprentice of Arms. She is not only Ivanso's disciple, but also has outstanding military talents.
"That's really troublesome. There are many secret tunnels there that they haven't discovered yet, so there's no way to change the ban ability of the city's anti-mystery locks at will. Otherwise, the ban on invisibility will be replaced by the ban on digging." Arms agreed.
He said, "Just in case, he will change the password of the city defense secret lock and prohibit the entry and exit of the original token. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or exit Ivanso."
I personally led people to search Didong City again to see if there were any secret passages that they had not discovered, and to set up as many traps as possible to prevent them from secretly sneaking in from that direction.
Convert all reserve corpses into poisonous zombies.
Gather all the bone claws to form an extraordinary battle group, waiting for deployment at any time.
Arrange all the transformation arrays and wait for activation at any time."
When she heard the last order, Grace finally couldn't keep her calm expression. "There's no need to activate the sahua magic circle, right? Are the citizens of that city innocent? Otherwise, they can't defend it with the strength of their legs."
, even if there are 10,000 more poisonous zombies, it will not change the original ending."
Whether the transformation circle covers the entire Ivanso, it can instantly detonate the plague toxin in the bodies of Ivanso citizens and transform them into poisonous zombies.
That's the initial defensive leg that Ames prepared for at Ivanso.
Arms's face was full of endless cruelty as he said: "The Sahua magic circle is never used to win victory, otherwise both sides will lose. Even if they capture Ivanso, they will lose everything they occupy."
The dead city of the undead, it is not them who kill the citizens of Ivanso, but them.”
"There is no point in doing that." Grace tried to dissuade them. "If Ivanso really can't hold it, they can just run away with the deadly poison. Just hope that the deadly poison is in their legs. In a city like that, they
It’s not difficult to occupy, and there’s no need to fight them there.”
"When did I become so hypocritical?" Arms stared at Grace coldly, "Am I also corrupted by the hypocritical thoughts of those Avengers? Are you ready to betray him?"
"What's the matter? The experimental materials that the teacher needs are all collected by him. Once he knows that, those Avengers hate him, and they hate the teacher. How can he collude with them?" Grace
Knowing that Arms is very suspicious now, and if he is not careful, he may very well bring disaster to himself, "Will he remind the teacher that he will not be blinded by anger and do things that are not good for him? Since the teacher
If he knows what he is doing, then he can rest assured. Whatever he does, it can be used to verify the true power of the deadly poison, and at the same time, it can also warn their enemies that Dong must think carefully when provoking them again."
After listening to Grace's explanation, Arms nodded slightly and showed a terrifying smile: "He is worthy of being Arms's most proud student. I have mastered 80% of his true biography. Since their reputation on the Dragon Coast has already
There is no way to reverse it, so turn it into fear and rule that land with fear.
When I come to the east, he will use teleportation spells to teleport several groups of dead poison soldiers to nearby cities to let them feel the power of Yidong dead poison. Then I will tell those idiots that if they dare not watch the fall of Ivanso,
They are just waiting for their city to become a paradise for the dead! Hahaha..."
"Teacher..." Looking at Arms who was laughing proudly, Grace swallowed her admonishment hard because she really didn't know her teacher's character too well.
Whether he is an out-and-out paranoid, a genius, or a madman, it is difficult to change the things he believes in.
That kind of temperament gave him an indomitable and enterprising spirit in the field of research. No matter what the price, he would always go to the dark side. This allowed him to develop a unique plague virus like Death Virus, which became a terrifying weapon on the battlefield.
, maybe it can change the pattern of war in Faerûn.
Could it be that that kind of temperament made him very poor at dealing with other things? If Grace hadn't been making suggestions and wiping his butt from behind, he would have been punished for his wanton behavior.
Whether it was a small matter, she could handle it without Arms getting involved, but whether or not to conquer the army was completely beyond her capabilities.
Then what she was most worried about happened, and Ames started to make crazy moves.
