Chapter two hundred and sixty third plane subsidence
Lilith Milan, formerly known as Fenna Milan, is a high-class vampire and the protagonist of the "Sleeping Beauty" fairy tale. Due to past events, she lacks trust and security in men, and her sexual orientation is slightly deviated.
But since the days of Sulfur Mountain City, she has been my most trusted subordinate... Well, the fundamental reason is that the other subordinates are too unreliable and completely untrustworthy.
Separating public and private matters, being calm in situations, gaining the trust of his colleagues, and most importantly, having common sense, are enough to outshine those bastards.
And due to the appearance of Amyra, after her background and identity were exposed, the first reaction of the senior leaders of the Law Church was whether she would just leave. Without her, the Law King's Hall would probably not be able to operate normally.
That's big.
Fortunately, she had already made a choice through practical actions of working silently, and still chose to stay in the church.
A few days ago, she and Amyra left suddenly, which surprised us. The few words left behind were not clear. Now we meet her here. Although we still maintain contact with each other, we are still
Quite a bit unexpected.
"Why are you here? Isn't Amila with you? Is she human?"
Lilith looked pale and shook her head, but the blood oozing from the corner of her mouth told everything. Looking carefully, she obviously looked sick and was in poor condition.
"Huh? Are you injured? Seriously?"
Lilith's life form was changed by a secret spell. She is a special vampire without previous generations, the so-called true ancestor. Although she is very young (compared to the vampires), she is not afraid of the sun and is already very powerful. A vampire.
He is also unique in recovering injuries. When even the most precious blood is out of control, I am afraid the injury is really serious.
"Ahem...he was a little injured, but he didn't...suck any blood."
I understood instantly. Due to some reasons, Lilith used to find girls with "good personal relationships" as her long-term meal tickets, and she had never attacked anyone.
Obviously, as a vampire of the law, her moral limit is a bit too high. Even if she is injured, she has no intention of actively attacking people. Now she has survived all the way. But now she is seriously injured and her instincts are almost out of control. Judging from Yawen's
The eyes are all green.
Why does this picky vampire only look at Yawen? Kross has been a colleague for many years. She knows what kind of mentality she used to have, and she was also sent out to do something today. Heloise looks delicious, but the instinct of the vampire
Remind yourself that underneath that beauty is definitely a terrifying monster, and you can't move your mouth at all. Xiaohong's dragon blood is very replenishing, but Lilithi doesn't dare to mention it. The only choice is probably the gray elf female knight.
"...I...can still hold on."
But he was vomiting blood while talking. It was obviously not an option to continue like this. Whether it was the Druid's magic of life or the Paladin's holy light, it could only have a negative effect on the vampires. Herbal medicine and first aid were also impossible.
It has an effect on the body of the undead. If the blood loss continues, it is hard to say whether it can remain rational.
"I'll do it."
Although Yawen said so, I know she can't do it either. The process of the moonlight ceremony is like fine needles constantly piercing the skin, and the blood flow will not be reduced. Now it is difficult to make up for it by donating blood. In addition, it is very difficult for vampires to be injured.
It's easy to lose control. It would be hard to say if Yawen is killed.
"Who else can."
Well, since there are no women, men can do it. Lilith glanced at it. Cohen was too weak and the Storm Eagle was too old. He bit the sad wind for fear of getting sick. Then his eyes with green light fell on me. She
I was surprised to find that the Lord's blood was permeated with an alluring fragrance like three-hundred-year-old red wine.
"My lord..."
This hungry look made me feel cold in my chest. Looking left and right, I saw gloating looks and neat retreats.
I dug the hole and filled it myself. In desperation, I stretched out my sleeves and looked out the window, not daring to look.
"Be gentle. I'm most afraid of injections. By the way, my blood vessels are relatively deep, so I won't need more injections. I'll bite them when I'm sure."
Well, at least it's better than those crappy nurses. It bleeds in one bite, but it's the arm that's stretched out, but the pain is in the neck... Who said being sucked by a vampire would be so satisfying, I promise not to beat you to death if you stand up.
He... As for the strange numbing pleasure behind it, it was definitely an illusion, well, an illusion.
"It's a rare delicacy in the world, worthy of Mr. Peach..."
"Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, you won't get a drink."
------------------
"You mean there's plane subsidence? How is this possible!"
"Yes, Aunt Amyla (why is this title so inconsistent) met a very powerful opponent and we were separated. But before, this was how she made her judgment."
Soon, Lilith, who was full of energy, came back to life with full health, and explained the whole story with full energy.
It turns out that Amyra's sudden departure was really a big deal. The border conflict between the Bayer Empire and the Mage Country has turned into a local war, but these "little things" cannot affect Amyra. After all, although she is about to
She is one of the highest-ranking masters in the Kingdom of Mage, and is indeed a member of the royal family of the Bayer Empire. However, not only has she been idle for many years, but due to some nonsense, both parties are probably eager to remove her.
What really made her make up her mind immediately was the private message given to her by her subordinates in Bayer, which mentioned that a large-scale blood sacrifice case had occurred in Victoria Harbor, a commercial port city that had just become part of the Bayer empire, and there seemed to be high-level people involved.
There are signs of the undead, and more than twenty strange black towers have been erected outside the city. Purple-black crystals seem to be glowing at the top of the towers, and ghosts seem to be wailing around them.
"Soul-calling towers" are extremely common in necromancy, and they are also common caster fortresses like magician's mage towers. There are countless models based on functions and sizes, but the most basic function is definitely there - summoning the dead.
The soul is smelted and turned into the magic power of the necromancer, which increases the power of the necromancy spell. As long as there are enough dead people and undead souls within the range, a necromancer master with a soul summoning tower has almost unlimited magic power.
This is also the reason why the undead are despised by the gods, but designers do not dare to go too far or even interfere with reincarnation. Souls that have been drained of magic power can still enter reincarnation. But the premise is that they are not transformed into reincarnation due to extreme resentment and pain.
A member of the undead.
Compared with the Mage Tower, the Soul Evocation Tower is weaker in power. However, since the material tends to be undead material, the cost is much lower and the construction period is much shorter. It is said to be high quality and low price. Of course, the side effect is that everyone screams for it.
And once a soul summoning tower is erected somewhere, it undoubtedly means that there are already high-level undead there, and I am afraid that the crusaders of the Holy Church are already on their way.
"...But since the Bayer Empire has expelled the Templar Church and the clergy. The officials are still maintaining a strange silence. Various organizations and citizens in Victoria Harbor have no choice but to fend for themselves. Aunt Amyla has a
Where are my friends? But unfortunately, when we arrived, the situation was already in chaos. The subsidence of the undead plane had already begun."
Lilith's statement made everyone in the room take a breath. Although she said it lightly, anyone who knows what plane subsidence is can imagine the hell-like tragedy on earth. But what surprised me even more is that
Amyra actually has friends...ahem. Back to the topic.
"Are you sure it's the plane subsidence and not just the opening of the door to the death plane?"
"This is Aunt Amyra's judgment. After adding everything that happened later, there should be nothing wrong."
"Plane subsidence" is a special word rarely used among mages. It refers to the fact that two planes are close to each other to such an extent that some areas overlap. This often occurs around space gates, such as in Antu.
If En's gate to the earth elemental plane is really successfully opened, the surrounding environment will be transformed into an elemental plane, as evidenced by the large number of naturally generated small and medium-sized earth elements at that time.
But a general plane gate is completely connected, and it can be considered that there is a different dimension in the surroundings, and there will not be a complete overlap of planes. If the alienation brought about by a normal plane gate is to add sugar to a glass of water and turn it into sugar water, then
Plane subsidence is equivalent to two glasses of water being squeezed into one cup. The result is that the cup will probably break.
"If the plane of settlement is the elemental plane, then more than half of the surrounding life will die in an instant, and the remaining living people will also bear the characteristics of elemental creatures. I am afraid that I will never have to think about returning to the main plane in this life. If
What has settled is the plane of death full of negative energy..."
Undoubtedly, as a magic expert, Heloise is the most qualified to make a judgment, but judging from her current expression and silence, it seems that she is not very optimistic about Victoria Harbor at this time.
"I still trust Amyra's judgment. If it is really the plane of death, there is no need to consider saving people. All the living will be instantly transformed into the dead, and a part of the plane of death will appear there. Moreover, most of them are
Permanent. This is much more troublesome than the Land of Death."
I nodded. Heloise's judgment was basically the same as mine, but I remembered more troubles.
"Since it has become part of the plane of death, some beings restricted by the rules of the plane can come. It is no wonder that Amyra will be in trouble. It is very likely that she has met the real Undead Emperor."
Obviously, the famous city of Victoria has become history at this time, with nearly one million people turned into undead, and the bosses of the undead plane also have their own outposts, but I feel that the Bayer Empire has paid so much price, and it is inevitable that it will be destroyed.
It won't just be like this to leave a bad name in history.
"Is there no official reaction from Bayer?"
"No, the news has been blocked. When I escaped, I also saw the peripheral knights blocking the main road leading to Victoria. Moreover, the undead in cloaks were communicating openly with uniformed officers, skeleton soldiers and zombies.
After being recruited by human officers, it was obvious that they had reached an agreement. And..."
"and?"
"I heard a news, which seems to be promoted through official channels. The newly added undead army is to help Bayer defeat the country of wizards. Although it caused a lot of protests, it seems to have been suppressed."
Victoria Harbor is close to the sea, and across the strait is the country of mages. A lot of information has surfaced, and I can almost guess what the other party plans to do.
Victoria Port, which was originally a commercial city, originally belonged to another country. It was a territory that Bayer had just acquired. It was not aligned with the central government. There were not many warships stationed at the commercial port. The small and medium-sized merchant ships stationed at the port could not bring many people. Bayer
The world-famous and powerful army will only become a target even if it enters the Depok Strait, and it will not be able to use its geographical advantage for military operations.
A lot of information has come to light. If it were really what I guessed, it would be in big trouble, so I simply asked directly.
"How wide is the Depok Strait? I only want the straight line distance."
Yawen took out the map and drew it with a ruler. As soon as the scale was converted, she suddenly raised her head.
"Less than two hundred kilometers! If the undead army marches urgently, one day and night will definitely be enough."
The undead are not afraid of fatigue and do not need to breathe. Other living beings regard it as an insurmountable natural danger and only a smooth road in front of them.
The sea water is very rough? The waves are very deadly? With so many storms on the horizon, the bottom of the sea is finally calm, right?
The port areas across the way that can be docked are all garrisoned? Then, just find an undefended area to land.
Using the special life forms of the undead to play various unconventional tactics are all leftover from my past experience, but since there is already a precedent, it has naturally become a conventional tactic.
At this point, the fighting situation has become very obvious. Even the king of a country cannot be so obvious. At least if he wants to unite all the forces in the country, he must attach a shell of common interests to his crazy actions and give it to his subordinates.
A reasonable reason.
Bayer should still have a cooperative relationship with the undead emperors now. As long as the undead can prove their worth, then more cooperation opportunities will come one after another, and naturally the undead will also become their help. As for the one who was just taken away
Victoria Harbor belongs to the enemy, who cares?
"If the army of the dead suddenly launches a surprise attack from underwater, and high-level undead are stationed there, even the country of mages may not be able to take precautions. I am afraid that Amyra got some news and set off in person...
Lilith, do you have any detailed information about Amyra?"
Lilith shook her head with uneasiness, as if she had no confidence.
"No, not long after we entered, plane subsidence occurred. I am a vampire, so it doesn't matter. But Aunt Amyra, no matter how strong she is, she is still a human. She has fought against very strong opponents before, and she seems to have suffered.
A little hurt..."
Faced with Lilith's uneasiness, I smiled. This may be a desperate situation for others, but I don't think that the crazy witch will have any problems at all. Her complete existence transcends the scope of life.
"...Don't worry, she is even less human than you."
"Don't worry, Lady Lilith, I can feel that in that direction, Lady Amyra's vitality is still strong. Let alone holding on for a month, it feels like she has been fine for two or three years. The one who is in trouble now is not her, but
Offended by her undead."
Faced with the conclusion made by Storm Eagle who closed her eyes and meditated, Lilith was a little doubtful. After all, even the legendary Druid could not come to a conclusion at such a long distance.
But Heloise and I exchanged a look. The Storm Eagle on the earth elemental plane also saw Amyra's complete form. As a druid who lives in the forest, sensing the forest is already an innate ability.
It is normal to make this kind of judgment. He said that nothing would happen to Amyra in a short time, which meant that it was really nothing.
Even in the worst case scenario, where Amyra reveals her full form, it is not that easy to deal with. Thinking of this, I feel relieved, but now that these things have happened, the rest of the itinerary has obviously been determined.
"Speed up preparations and gather all the equipment. We will set off in the morning the day after tomorrow at the latest. It would be best if we can find a caravan to cover us. If not, we will sneak across!" (To be continued...)
