The reason why Liu Yifei has always been so concerned about "Serasto", the soul war horse obtained from the royal tomb of the Eagle Heart Empire, is precisely because of the powerful "group flight" characteristic of Celasto!
Able to "lead" all the soldiers under Liu Yifei to fly!
Speaking of such amazing features...except for Celasto, Liu Yifei has never heard of it since the beginning of the internal beta!
The army must be strong, how can it miss such a national treasure war horse mount?
Therefore, even though Liu Yifei is in the Ghost Clan, he has been planning to come to the Human Clan to get Serasto again. The reason why he readily agreed to come to the Human Clan with Xuelan this time is also the reason for Serasto.
A major point that Liu Yifei considers~
However, it seems to be true to the saying, "The world is changing, things are changing."
Although I arrived at the Eagle Heart Imperial Capital, everything has changed drastically~
Not only have the details changed greatly, but more importantly, Liu Yifei actually learned that the world now is "thirty years later" during the internal beta period!
Damn it~
If the game didn't go back, but just moved the timeline forward thirty years... wouldn't it mean that Serasto is no longer where he was?
After receiving the amazing campaign mission from Stonefield, this issue was the only one that really worried Liu Yifei except the idiot Emperor Aojian!
Could it be that...it will be difficult for him to see that ghost war horse in the end?
But how could this make him give up easily?
Liu Yifei had originally made up his mind. As soon as he completed the task here, he would immediately try to sneak into the royal mausoleum again! However, he did not expect that he would meet him here!!!
Think about it carefully...
Damn~
Didn't Liu Yifei "break up" with Celasto here?
At that time, Liu Yifei and almost 70 to 80% of the internal beta players received the battle mission of frontline mobilization, and the most frontal war broke out with the demon army that invaded the human race. Along with the human army, they drove the enemies here bit by bit.
Initially, everyone thought they could successfully fight the demons back to grandma's house, but later due to the adjustment of Longsheng Group, the closed beta was ended early.
If you think about it...it seems not unreasonable for Celastor to stay here afterwards...
And what’s even more surprising to everyone is!
Just when Liu Yifei was slightly distracted because of these "old things", the "being" sitting on Serasto's back suddenly spoke! And what he said was...
"Master Liuyun, we... haven't seen each other for a long time..."
!!!
The whole place seemed to be extremely quiet at that moment!
Originally, more than a thousand players present were in a bit of a commotion because of the problems caused by the numerous undead.
When a group of people are surrounded by overwhelming undead, especially when everyone subconsciously looks back... and finds that the entire Saglan Mountain has been covered and lit up with wisps of flames of the undead, their hearts are filled with excitement.
The panic is ready to come out!
That kind of despair, as if facing the enemy of the whole world, made everyone subconsciously exclaim, tremble, and even barely hold the weapons in their hands~
But at this moment, the undead's words made everyone stunned~
Forget the undead, forget the fear, even forget that this is a highly virtualized game in China...
Liuyun...know this flying guy...?
This idea also flashed in Liu Yifei's mind.
"You know me?"
"Oh~
Has Master Liuyun already forgotten this unknown little person like me?
If that's really the case...hehe~
That’s really sad…”
Even though he was talking, the man's voice was still calm, and there was no hint of sadness or disappointment at all. Following his words, the white, almost sickly right hand pressed the head of his own robe.
Cover, gently lift it back...
What kind of face is that~
It is not rotten and hard like zombies, nor is it like flesh film veneers like corpse witches.
It should be said that the face still looked very much like a human's. Although it was not fresh, it was still full. The corpse-like color of hoarfrost covered all his muscles.
On the cheeks and behind the ears, there were some dense sarcomas of unknown origin that had gathered slightly, but they did not distort the face into a sinister look.
If it weren't for the fact that the pair of eyes were pure, as green and white as real ice and snow, perhaps some people would believe that this guy was a "monk" who had not been exposed to sunlight for a long time.
Yes, this guy is still bald, with no hair on his head, not even eyebrows~
Such a guy...
Eh!
Strange~
If Liu Yifei had seen such a special guy before, he would definitely be impressed by it! But Liu Yifei was sure. Whether it was internal testing or public testing, he had never seen such an NPC before.
But if you don't know me at all...that faint feeling of déjà vu is...
"What? Master Liuyun? You still can't remember me?"
Haha~
That's right, after all, I have changed a lot since then. Even Lord Archon Stonefield saw me here and couldn't believe for a moment that it was me..."
"Uh... you are... you are... Lewinsky??? You are so Lewinsky!!!"
At first there was hesitation in confusion, but after roughly confirming the identity of the other party, the appearance of the eyes, nose, mouth and ears...
The guy in front of me, who had obviously turned into a dead spirit, gradually matched up with the "young and immature" "doorman monk" in his memory!
This guy is really Lewinsky! That little monk who, together with Freeman, once stood guard for Stonefield at the entrance to the Council Hall of the Eagle Heart Imperial City!
This...he...didn't Freeman say he was dead?
How could it be...
"Hahahaha~~~
well!
He is worthy of being Lord Liuyun back then!
You can still remember this little guard like me. Hahahaha~~~Great!”
The sky-high laughter carried a touch of determination that the past could not bear to look back on, but it also revealed a viciousness that made Liu Yifei confused... It seemed to be resentful, it seemed to be angry...
However, it all happened too suddenly!
The dungeon they had been playing for a long time turned out to be just an "illusion". An inexplicable god-like voice suddenly spoke, and then brought all of them to this damn "reality", followed by the boundless sea of the undead, and the sudden appearance of Serra
Stowe, and this... the former doorman monk who seems to be the ultimate boss...
For a while~
Liu Yifei only felt a huge headache in his head, and at the same time there was a sharp buzzing in his ears...
wrong!
That's not an illusion!
But a really weird tremor!
At first, it was just a slight whine mixed in the cold wind, but within a moment, the sound had turned into a huge roar! It was as if the mountain was shaking, making people's hearts beat with fear!
And as the sound became louder and louder, the entire Sagelan Mountain, which had turned into bones, began to shake violently!
"Damn~ Another earthquake? What a mess! Don't you think things are messy enough?"
The earthquake had just started, and the players were already scolding~
I really don’t know how the game designers designed the plot of this copy. One after another, it has already exceeded the limit that the players can bear!
There are all kinds of complicated and broken clues, and the plot is beyond imagination~
In fact, let alone them, even Liu Yifei, the only key center present, didn't actually smooth things out~
However, the results of this shock were beyond everyone’s expectations!
Just when everyone was panicking and thinking that something ghostly would jump out and scare everyone, wisps of white light suddenly bloomed from the gaps in the mountains formed by the piles of countless undead bones!
This white light is different from the underworld fire of the dead. It is the purest and whitest light of heaven!
It's as if there is actually a golden sun that is gradually resurrecting buried under the mountain covered with bones!
While the light was getting brighter and brighter, four more lightsabers suddenly exploded from the four directions of Bone Mountain, such as piercing the dark and silent sky!
Four beams of light shot into the sky, seeming to lift the swirling black clouds in the sky!
At the same time, the white light bursting out from the entire bone mountain became more and more dazzling. Almost everyone was so excited that they subconsciously began to block or close their eyes~
And at the same time, the undead that were originally all over the mountains and plains suddenly roared together at the soul level!
Generally speaking, even if the undead "roar" cannot be heard by players, players with high perception attributes or a small number of special players can "feel" it. However, it is still necessary to clearly capture this "roar".
Extremely high strength requirements~
However, this time, when millions and tens of millions of undead roared together, the fierce, mixed, and chaotic shock waves caused thousands of players on the field to live in discomfort. It seemed that everyone wanted to eat all their overnight meals.
It feels good to spit it out!
It’s just that the endurance is worth it in the end!
Because just after this moment of "outbreak", all the undead souls actually erupted with hot holy white flames from their bodies! It was as if all the undead souls were "purified" at the same time!
The flame gradually spread out, from one or two dots at the beginning to a fierce flame that swept through the undead's body!
Almost in the blink of an eye, the green dots of soul fire that were originally spread across the entire Saglan Mountain turned into a white holy fire that seemed to envelope the entire mountain!
That moment~
It was as if the entire bone mountain was burning. The spectacle was so spectacular that everyone was dumbfounded. They just subconsciously held up the camera wizard to record this amazing and exaggerated "drama".
"Oh? This time... it was Master Liuyun and your troops opened the seal of light again?
Hum~
Master Liuyun~
You...are a powerful person among the undead. Don't you even understand the pursuit of our undead?
We are just here to rest in peace. How can you be so willing to do these things for those pretentious guys in the human race who murder your compatriots?
Oh~
Could it be that Lord Liuyun, have you also been deceived by the hypocrisy of that damn holy light?
This is really heartbreaking.
Originally, in my heart, you have always been a strong undead warrior who is good at conquering the undead. How could you be deceived by those hypocritical guys who are pretentious~"
All the undead were set on fire, but only one person...or rather, only one person and one rider~
That is Serasky flying peacefully in the sky and its new owner...Lewinsky.
To Lewinsky, the ferocious holy fire spreading around seemed to be just a spark used to warm his hands. He rubbed the hands that could no longer feel the slightest warmth in a serious manner. He spoke in a condescending tone of pity.
said to Liu Yifei.
"Haha~ I came here...not with any lofty ideals or goals. I was just entrusted by Lord Stonefield to help him fulfill a small wish.
But you...
Lewinsky, I really didn’t expect that after so many years of not seeing you, you would have changed so much~
It seems that you...hum, have you found a new faith in your life?"
"Everything will eventually turn into death and nothingness!
Is life immortal?
No!
Even if it is as strong as a giant dragon, it only has a lifespan of a thousand years~
The only thing that can truly be eternal in this world is death~
I may have been blinded by the false light in the past, but after receiving the inspiration and revelation from my Lord, I have already understood everything~
This is what I really look like, this is the path I should take, I originally belong here~"
"So for this reason, you are willing to devour millions of lions in the empire to achieve your throne?
In order to build this mountain of bones, you abandoned your compatriots, your subordinates, your adults... and even your original beliefs!
Your master?
Ha~
Is the God of Death so attractive to you? Is it so interesting to devour everything in the world?"
Liu Yifei mocked disdainfully.
In the setting of the system, it seems that the ghost tribe should indeed believe in the God of Death. However, for some reason... neither Sandro nor Toradre were more or less different in their interactions with Liu Yifei.
expressed great disdain for the "god of death"~
And I don’t know if it was due to the influence of these two powerful men. Liu Yifei didn’t care much about this essentially the main god of the undead clan, but instead he had a soft spot for the more “familiar” Lord of Darkness~
As for which one is stronger and which one is weaker between these two great gods...
I remember Sandro seemed to have said that it seemed that the Lord of Darkness was slightly stronger~
But what the heck~
In any case, Liu Yifei is not too fond of the "god of death" thing.
Because if the will of the gods will become single and extreme in the end, each god will only pursue the limit of its own power and spread this power as much as possible.
In such a comparison...
Among the eight secondary sources of power, death seems to be the most boring~
On the other hand, life can still be described as "a hundred flowers blooming" and "vibrant", but what about death?
Silence, emptiness and dusk...
At least judging from players’ camp selection tendencies, the “life system” option of the elves is much more popular than the ghosts~
Although Liu Yifei himself is a "ghost tribe", his aesthetics is still based on human standards, so he is not so extreme that he thinks that the idea of the God of Death's murderous maniac "slaughtering everything in the world" is correct~
If this whole world really turns into a dead world...it would be too boring~
Liu Yifei, a "ghost clan member", can see this clearly. I really don't understand how Lewinsky, a originally bright believer, was inspired~
Could it be that Death, a perverted murderer, was actually a good master of pyramid schemes, and easily poached a corner for a "little devil" like Lewinsky?
However, the next moment, the "truth" revealed by Lewinsky surprised Liu Yifei even more~
"grim Reaper?
No no no~~~
Lord Liuyun, you seem to have made a few mistakes.
‘My Lord’ does not refer to the despicable idiot who stole the world~
'My Lord'...is a being more noble than the gods!
They are the God of the world. They are the answers to all the mysteries in the world. They are also the ultimate controllers of all things~"
Boom~~~
The rising holy fire seemed to have reached a certain limit. At this moment, all the surrounding undead souls transformed into white flame torches disintegrated!
From skeletons to bone dragons. Whether undead or vampires~
Everything standing on the ground and flying in the sky were all shattered at this moment as if someone had exploded them inside!
For a moment, there was almost a bone rain in the sky! Everyone who was hit on the head and face screamed in surprise~
"Hahahaha~~~
It seems the time has come?
Okay~
Master Liuyun, we meet again after a long separation, let our reminiscing about the past stop here~
If you still want to know more...then come and find me in my kingdom~
I will be waiting for you in the deepest part of here, waiting for all of you~
Come together into the arms of our Lord..."
After saying these words, Lewinsky and Seraskey were wrapped in blazing ice-blue flames, and disappeared in an instant, but only the last voice lingered~
"By the way. Lord Liuyun, this horse... seems to be your former favorite horse, right?
Haha~
If you are still interested in it, just come to me~
But the bet is the lives of the 100,000 troops behind you!
As a wise man, you wouldn’t think that this mere ‘stigma’ is enough to suppress me, would you?
Hehehehe..."
The low and weird laughter floated around, and finally disappeared~
However, as if to prove the correctness of this statement, at the same time, the various broken bones that had been scattered all over the place actually began to gather and piece together again in "Kerala"!
"Attention everyone!
The undead are coming again!
Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle!!!"
Although perhaps no one is more confused than Liu Yifei, and wants to know what is hidden behind all the strange phenomena.
Why did Lewinsky become like this?
How did he meet Celastro?
Why are you here?
Who is the “Lord” in his mouth?
What does it have to do with that inexplicably majestic voice?
There were so many questions that Liu Yifei’s mind was extremely confused!
He had a vague premonition. It seemed that everything was ultimately pointing to a point that was overlooked...
However, he couldn't remember it anyway!
The depression of being unable to get in despite being in front of the door made him crazy!
But Liu Yifei still remembers his "responsibility" at least, and now is not a good time for him to calm down and solve historical problems. In comparison, it is better to lead people to continue to deepen...
The last "Sea of the Dead" was obviously a special plot arranged by the system. It was similar to a setting where players had to take a look first and be mentally prepared~
Different from the last time when the undead only surrounded but not killed, this time the undead gathered around here are no longer polite~
Whether they are those who are gradually coming together around them or those who have gathered and rushed over from a distance, the hatred and hostility towards the living like Liu Yifei is obvious!
Each one of them rushed forward desperately, wanting to pounce on the other person and bite off a piece of their flesh!
But the advantages are not without~
After actually entering the battle, the "aggregation speed" of the undead was significantly reduced~
In the past, the gathering speed of the undead often only took a few seconds. Even at the same time as the first batch of undead appeared, countless undead emerged from the darkness in the distance. It seemed as if they had been waiting there for a long time~
This time, the enemies really started to gather together and rush towards them little by little, and the gathering time for even just one skeleton was only ten seconds. For example, the gathering time for high-level beings such as the soul-returning warriors and bone dragons could easily take several minutes.
aggregation time!
But from this moment on, what is annoying is everyone, and undead will begin to appear at the feet of the battle group.
In a short period of time after the war started, several unlucky crossbow soldiers were dismembered by the undead that came out of their feet. For this kind of thing, Liu Yifei could only try his best to kill the chief priests, saints, monk soldiers, etc.
The troops were dispersed and arranged into the entire army of 100,000 people to ensure the improvement of the overall security strength.
Although the enemy may suddenly appear from under your feet, it is better to wait for the enemy to form before attacking~
I don’t know if it was luck or unlucky. A bone dragon actually lifted its huge skull in the crowd!
But before it could completely pull out its body from the countless dead bones, countless rays of holy light had already focused on it...
Thousands of them!
He even killed this unlucky dragon in an instant...
After a short period of adaptation, everyone finally became familiar with this strange battle. However, for Liu Yifei, this was not a particularly special battle experience. At least he had experienced similar battles several times~
The NPC legion, the main force of the army this time, is also extremely strong, and because they were lucky enough to "skip" the struggle and fighting in the illusion before, they were able to retain a large number of personnel. Here, they were even more explosive under Liu Yifei's command.
Showed amazing fighting power!
Lancers and Crusader swordsmen mixed together to form the outermost edge of the military formation, but the main purpose was not to fight but to defend. To be precise, to isolate the surrounding undead army and prevent them from entering the team.
The main damage output is the crossbowmen and monk soldiers.
There are one thousand repeating crossbowmen, nearly five thousand strong crossbowmen and over ten thousand ordinary crossbowmen in the army, plus nearly ten thousand saints, chief priests, and monk soldiers. With various bonuses and buffs, the attack power is
Amazing! Even if dozens of skull dragons rush towards you, they are guaranteed to be digested instantly~
And the other side.
A group of tens of thousands of royal griffons, fighting griffons, and mature griffons formed a powerful air defense force, and together with the angels, they blocked the scattered air troops around them, which were not too many at the moment.
Although enemies continue to rush out from all directions, at least the current situation is still within control, which makes Liu Yifei feel a little at ease...
But this peace of mind only lasted for a moment~
When the first skeleton archer appeared, Liu Yifei was suddenly shocked!
Originally, only his crossbowmen and priests were unleashing long-range firepower on the surrounding undead.
Although there are also skeleton mages and corpse witches in the enemy group, as fifth-level creatures, their number is still too small and they do not pose a direct threat. The damage caused can also be quickly made up by the saints~
But when the enemy fired the first bone arrow, Liu Yifei suddenly realized something!
As they continued to go deeper into the stronghold on the top of the mountain, the undead that appeared began to become stronger and stronger!
Zombie warriors, infected with bacteria, and the like are also beginning to appear among the dead!
If we continue this way, God knows what will happen next...
Just as he was thinking about this, Liu Yifei's magic vision suddenly saw a team of skeleton archers appearing in front of him... at least two thousand in number!
If the scattered undead creatures are just cannon fodder, then they are like an army when gathered like this!
And when it comes to the army...
really!
After Liu Yifei's careful search, he found a particularly bulky skeleton archer in front of the undead team... No, strictly speaking, this should be a top-notch skeleton hunter!
Moreover, the color of his soul fire is also very different from the surrounding skeletons. It seems that he should be a boss... or even a guy at the level of a spiritual hero...
"Knight of Light! Charge with me!"
Under the guidance of Liu Yifei, the light knight troops that had already gathered together suddenly surged out from a gap in a certain direction of the army battle formation~
You can imagine that it was a torrent of steel!
Both the knights and the war horses were wearing heavy and thick armor, but none of this became a burden that affected the charging speed.
Quite the opposite~
Together with the men and horses and the weight of the equipment, these charging knights themselves become the sharpest, most powerful, and most brutal weapons!
All the undead that dared to block the road, whether they were skeletons, vampires or corpse witches born by chance, were all torn to pieces!
The enemy's attack is so weak that it is almost not a serious counterattack for the Bright Knight~
However, even the sudden rain of bone arrows only slightly damaged the knights... It was just a matter of healing~
However, as Bingfeng pointed out, the enemy's team of skeleton archers hiding behind had been exposed, giving the opposing general almost no time to react!
In fact, the hero didn't have time to react. He just ensured that he rushed out as quickly as possible and escaped death~
However, the next moment, countless skeleton archers were directly scattered, knocked down, and trampled!
Thousands of rumbling knights swept past like a hurricane blowing in the wasteland of bones. But they turned all the restless ones into rubble on the ground!
Being rumbled by thousands of war horses would be too much for even the strongest bone dragon to bear, let alone those skeletons?
A round of charge swept past, and all the skeleton archers were killed instantly!
In fact, the entire road has become extremely clean!
Except for the few undead that just got up again, everything here feels extremely depressing!
It seems that hope has completely died. Only endless despair is quietly spreading...
To be honest, even based on Liu Yifei's experience, this is one of the most difficult battles he has ever experienced, and the most difficult one that makes people want to give up!
In the past, Liu Yifei has indeed faced countless opponents that are so strong that it is almost impossible to defeat them, especially for players at this stage~
However, in those battles Liu Yifei often only appeared as the "subordinate" of the stronger one.
The most exaggerated incident before this was probably the Lich civil strife that occurred in the Kingdom of Dickwell.
That time, Liu Yifei and Glory City Lord shouldered the heavy responsibility, and they fought a series of battles beautifully!
However, even so, a big brother finally appeared who could take care of them!
Like Sandro!
For example, those big guys from various ethnic groups who came uninvited!
However, no matter what, there are still people at the top who can support the tank~
But what about this time?
No!
Nothing!
Not even more aid!
Liu Yifei must be allowed to fight this battle on his own in which even he has no hope...it almost drives people crazy!
With arduous fighting, everyone slowly advanced. In a few hours, they only advanced about one-third of the distance!
But how many undead have they killed?
There are already too many to count...
Even Liu Yifei had an illusion!
That is, it seems that the bones used to make up the entire "Bone Mountain" of Gesala are about to be ashes by their big city!
Is that really the case?
In fact, there is no change at all on Mount Gesalan. But the undead... are getting stronger and stronger!
Yes~
Getting stronger...
As they gradually deepened, the undead that appeared were so powerful that they were beyond belief~
Moreover, the enemy obviously also understands the principle of "evolution on the basis of merit".
Nowadays, it is almost impossible to see ordinary skeletons. As soon as they appear, they are definitely skeleton archers or even skeleton hunters!
Taking advantage of the undead's ability to emerge from under everyone's feet at zero distance, the large number of zombies, especially zombie branches, and zombie warriors appearing here also caused heavy casualties to Liu Yifei and the others!
Yes, casualties...
Since the first crossbowmen were launched after the outbreak of the war, casualties have continued to appear in the team~
Although Liu Yifei has tried his best to consolidate the firepower of the entire defense arrangement, as the enemy emerges from under his feet faster and faster, they still have important logistical protection, and the loss of personnel becomes difficult to control~
By the time Liu Yifei's online time was running out today, the army had been reduced from more than 100,000 to more than 80,000!
Just the top one-third of the most basic areas have lost nearly one-fifth...
However, there are no obvious mistakes in the command, and even the players have dispersed into the crowd to support and protect the NPCs as much as possible!
But even so it’s still not enough!
The difficulty of the battle here is too high!
They easily broke through the illusion and retained a lot of excellent combat power! They even attracted amazing combat power support before the mission!
But even so, the difficulty of the battle here is still too high!
The constant defense, fighting, and rushing made everyone's nerves extremely tense!
When Liu Yifei counted down in the command channel and finally successfully exited the dungeon with the still living people, almost all the players sat down on the ground at the same time~
"Haha~ I didn't expect that one day I would find the scenery of these rotten rocks beautiful~"
Knight Lant felt a little exhausted and touched a stone next to him. Then he threw it out nonchalantly~
Looking at the normal Sagelan Mountain outside the dungeon, he suddenly felt some inexplicable emotion~
Since going up the mountain, more than one person in the team has complained about the bareness and unsightliness of Saglan Mountain. However, compared with the amazing encounters in the dungeon...
Damn it!
At least there are real trees here, although they are dry, and real stones, although they are red... Although they are not very satisfactory, they are real after all, right?
But is all this really true?
When no one was paying attention, Liu Yifei carefully broke the branches of a dead tree. In the middle of the branches, there was a strange white color, like buried broken bones...
After quitting the game, Liu Yifei was so tired that he wished he could sleep for three days and three nights!
Nearly eight hours of continuous running and fighting was extremely stressful even for him!
In the past, Liu Yifei was always looking forward to fighting, doing big tasks, and doing military exploits~
But this battle is so damn tiring!
And when I think about it, it seems like I have to fight for two more days...
Damn it!
Isn't this life-threatening?
Lying on the bed with some complaints, Liu Yifei's thoughts began to gradually spread~
However, when he thought about what was happening in the human race right now, he suddenly felt more energetic!
His mind, which was still very groggy just now, became much clearer. Simply, he followed all the clues he knew and sorted out these messy and fragmented conditions...
"Who is that voice...?
Tens of thousands of years......
Is it really a monster-level soul that has come back to life from ancient times?
To be able to survive to this day... at least it has to be a legend... No!
Legendary power, right?
Is there any smell on me that is familiar to him..."
