After hearing Lei Xiao's calm voice, these new subordinates showed awe and gratitude on their faces, and their tense nerves finally relaxed completely.
So many new subordinates just stood up in panic at Lei Xiao's signal, and then slumped to the ground uncontrollably, all looking like they were lucky to have survived the disaster.
Especially the illusionists and battle maids whose faces still had gunpowder smoke and blood stains, even began to sob softly.
"How do you behave in front of the lord?!"
Seeing this scene, the three new subordinate captains were about to step forward to scold them, but were stopped by Lei Xiao with a wave of his hand.
Every time the smoke subsided, Lei Xiao could almost see the same scene.
Facing the monstrous strength of the Zhenguo-level powerhouse and the bombardment of countless magic cannons, coupled with the scorching breath of fire and blood, fallen robes, broken battle flags, broken armors, and curled sharp blades
, blood-stained hands... Even veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles will never be able to turn a blind eye. This is just human nature.
"I remember the first time I saw a real battlefield near the mountain fortress. Even though the battle had come to an end, I was still terrified. The feeling of almost suffocating was something I will never forget."
"Although we still don't know what these new subordinates have experienced, it must be the same suffocating thing? What's more, they have left their homes and been summoned to this completely unfamiliar land."
Lei Xiao did not mean to blame the new subordinates, but calmed down and immediately asked the three new subordinate captains about their personal information and the situation before they were summoned.
"Back to Lord, this is what happened."
The old lightly-armed Guards commander named Dilan took a deep breath slowly, a blur of confusion flashed in his wrinkled old eyes.
Through the veteran's description, Lei Xiao learned.
On the land where the new subordinates are located, since the end of the blank era, the surviving humans did not work independently and form multiple forces in the human world to oppose each other. Instead, they formed the only human nation, Dilan.
They are part of the palace guard.
"After the end of the blank era, has the human world become a whole? No wonder Dilan and others are quite strong. After all, this is the palace guardian force of the entire human race."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully. This was undoubtedly the first time he had encountered this situation.
"Lord, under the leadership of generations of monarchs, the human world has been developing peacefully and steadily. Although there are sometimes fierce confrontations with barbarians from outside the realm, in most cases it is still peaceful. This has caused many nobles to indulge in
He was so sensual that he even forgot how to pick up a weapon."
There was a touch of helplessness in Dilan's old voice, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Because of this, when the densely packed undead skeletons began to attack the city crazily, those fat city lords who could not even walk steadily were very worried.
Soon, with fear and despair, he also became a part of the undead."
"In the end, the entire human world was shrouded in the terrifying shadow of death and darkness, until only the royal capital where my subordinates and others were left was left, with the last glimmer of life remaining."
"However, all resistance was in vain in the face of the terrifying power of the disaster that day. The absolute defensive barrier of the royal capital was almost shattered at a touch. Then the opponent drove straight in and easily opened the door of the palace, causing wailing everywhere.
and screaming.”
Speaking of this, Dylan's wrinkled throat rolled, obviously remembering some terrible scenes.
He took several deep breaths in succession before regaining his composure and continued: "My subordinates and others are responsible for guarding the back door of the palace. There is a separate absolute defense barrier there, and the location is also extremely remote. This makes my subordinates
The others escaped, and luckily became the final target of the terrible undead lord."
After listening to Dilan say this, Lei Xiao pondered and nodded: "So, are you facing an army of undead?"
"Back to Lord, this statement is not accurate."
Dylan's old voice suddenly became trembling, and drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He forcibly stabilized his mind and said tremblingly: "What my subordinates are facing is an entire human world filled with death and darkness!"
"What?"
Hearing the sound, not only Lei Xiao, but also the other subordinates who were listening attentively around him all looked surprised and opened their eyes wide.
"Old General, do you mean that the undead lord turned the entire human race into undead?"
Lei Xiao reacted instantly and said in disbelief.
"That's right, after everything was destroyed, the backdoor defensive barrier supported by the subordinates was once again shattered. The devastating power directly caused the magic tower to shatter, causing the illusion that desperately supplied energy to the barrier to break.
The division and the battle maids were all injured due to the damage and explosion of the energy supply array."
Dylan nodded heavily, his old voice trembling again.
"At the moment when the barrier was shattered, when the subordinates and others were in complete despair, they were summoned by the lord, and they finally escaped and were not swallowed by the sea of skeletons with their teeth and claws."
After Dylan said this, the other two new subordinate commanders also nodded, with complicated expressions of fear and sadness on their faces.
When the barrier was broken, they clearly saw that the undead warriors rushing to the front brandishing sharp blades not only included their former robes, but also an old skeleton with a crown on his head and a gray beard that had not yet faded. That was
Their former king.
After listening to Dylan's description, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a little solemn on his face.
For myself, who has been loyal to Nolan and Lina, and has fought against many necromancers such as the Nightmare Knight, the necromancer as a special taboo summon is obviously not an unfamiliar word.
But no matter how powerful the undead are, there is a limitation common to other summoners, that is, the overall strength of the summoned objects is at most the same as the summoner himself.
Even with the blessing of some powerful magic weapon, it is at most one level higher than the summoner's own strength, but the situation encountered by Dilan and others is unheard of.
After all, whether it is controlling undead or other summoned objects, it requires the summoner's own magic power, and it also requires some potential magic connection. This means that the number of manipulations will inevitably be limited and will never be unlimited.
Summoning situation.
"It is not difficult to see from this that this is exactly the function of the undead lord's talent."
"Although I don't know the specific content of the opponent's talent, what is certain is that he obviously has the ability to transform dead opponents into undead, and he also ignores the limit on quantity."
After smoothing everything out in his mind, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath.
No wonder all the new subordinates showed fear from the very beginning when they were summoned. After their tense nerves were completely relaxed, it was even harder to control their emotions.
Faced with this hopeless place of death that cannot be broken, the performance of these new subordinates is not only not cowardly, but also very strong and unyielding.
"I have to say that the talent of every lord who dominates a land cannot be underestimated."
"Judging from this undead talent regardless of quantity, it will be a huge challenge for me. At least now I don't have an effective way to deal with it."
With this in mind, Lei Xiao followed the usual practice and gave the new subordinates more powerful fourth-level equipment as well as storage rings and other items.
As for the third-level equipment and other upgradeable items carried by the subordinates, Lei Xiao naturally took them all back and upgraded them as new reserves.
"My subordinates are extremely grateful to the lord for this gift!"
After receiving more powerful equipment, coupled with their gratitude and respect for Lei Xiao, Dilan and other new subordinates naturally soon became full of loyalty and decided to serve the former to the death.
"This is your new home. If you can encounter that undead lord in the future, I will personally avenge you."
After Lei Xiao said this, he looked at Witte and other dragon knights and gave the latter the same promise.
Amidst the grateful thanks from the new subordinates, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and took out another 1,000 second-level recruitment orders for the final summons of new subordinates.
When the dazzling golden light door dispersed again, what appeared in front of everyone this time were a thousand magicians wearing standard robes, obviously coming from the same place.
"Are almost all of them at the peak of the second level? Just 1,000 third level magic potions are all needed to reach the third level."
Lei Xiao opened the overview interface of the new subordinates and nodded with satisfaction.
As for the skills, they are very similar to the magician squadron of Dazhu Xiaozhu and others.
"Speaking of which, including Asagaga Naniko, when I summoned magician subordinates before, almost all of them came out of the magic tower."
"And according to Gray who was summoned at the end, the situation in the Magic Tower is extremely grim and is almost on the verge of collapse. I wonder what the situation is now?"
"Especially Chaoga Nanizi, although she looks careless, as soon as she mentions the magic tower, her big eyes will show a hint of sadness. She is obviously worried about the magic tower.
It’s no wonder, after all, that’s where she grew up.”
"I hope everything is okay. The Magic Tower has trained many elite magicians for me."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, he saw a middle-aged magician commander with a scar on his face running towards him with a respectful look on his face.
"On behalf of the soldiers, I pay homage to the lord and thank the lord for rescuing us from despair!"
The middle-aged magician knelt on the ground and swore his loyalty to Lei Xiao, while other magicians also made the same move, with expressions of gratitude and respect on their faces.
"Please get up, everyone. It is fate that has closely connected us. From this moment on, we are advancing and retreating together."
Lei Xiao lowered his body and helped the middle-aged magician up. He could clearly feel that the other person's body was stiff and trembling slightly. This was obviously the low-ranking man's sincere fear of the high-ranking man.
Just like what Lei Xiao said, after being helped up by Lei Xiao, the middle-aged magician named Rite introduced himself with reverence on his face and was amazed in his heart.
The lord in front of him not only exudes a vast aura, but is also followed by a group of powerful men. If his former home could have so many country-level powerhouses, it would not be destroyed so easily.
.
Under Lei Xiao's questioning, Rite told everything that happened before he was summoned.
It turns out that Ritter and a thousand other magicians came from the Magic Kingdom that had been reduced to ruins, and were responsible for guarding the only miracle building in the royal capital.
The function of that miraculous building is extremely simple, which is to deploy an absolute defensive barrier to protect the safety of the royal capital and the palace.
However, when the two absolute defensive barriers were destroyed one after another, the opponent directly sent his elite power to the king's hall, taking over the overall situation in place of the old king who died in the battle, and cut in half the prince who had not yet been crowned, and killed many people along the way.
Everything was destroyed to scare other countries that were still unwilling to surrender.
After the fall of the royal capital, Ritter and others, who were surrounded by a large army of opponents, had no choice but to persist with the help of the extremely strong miracle building. Although teleportation could not come in here, leaving the opponents helpless for a while, the despair of losing everything and running out of ammunition and food was still there.
It quickly spread within the miracle building.
Faced with this doomed situation, just when despair was about to devour Ritter and others, Lei Xiao's call came just in time to save the magicians from the siege.
"So, is the talent that that lord has mastered teleportation?"
After listening to Ritter's description, Lei Xiao first stabilized the other person's mood, and then nodded thoughtfully.
"That's right, Lord Lord, the other party's teleportation technique is extremely terrifying, even to the point of being unbelievable. Not only can it teleport the army to any place instantly, but it can also teleport all kinds of terrifying monsters from the outside world into the city, and it can even bypass ordinary people.
An absolute defensive barrier.”
Ritter swallowed, nodded to Lei Xiao and said: "It is precisely because of the tried and tested method of first teleporting the monsters to wreak havoc in the city, and then teleporting the army when the city is exhausted, that the Magic Kingdom where I once lived will
He was defeated quickly and had no power to fight back."
"Such a powerful teleportation technique is obviously inferior to even Jiang Li's. No, this is far beyond the capabilities of the Space Mage."
Lei Xiao gently rubbed his chin and pondered in his heart.
However, compared to the undead lord just now, the threat of this teleportation lord is undoubtedly much smaller. After all, with the blessing of the two divine lands, he has unimpeded access to the human world and can deploy his troops at will.
"Furthermore, it is not difficult to see from Ritter's description that this teleportation lord has not yet dominated the human world, and even uses the method of killing chickens to scare monkeys to force other countries to surrender. From this point of view alone, it is obvious that he is also a ruthless guy.
"
Lei Xiao thought like this and focused his eyes on Ritter again.
