The actual effect of a high-ranking undead or necromancer controlling a lower-level undead slave is affected by many factors such as distance, the strength of the master's soul, and the presence of additional interference. If you want to control the slaves under your command, you may even transfer part of your own power to them.
If there are lower-level undead puppets, then the master obviously wants to place the servants nearby...
However, battlefields are mostly spread across the north and south, and sometimes the areas are so large that they can even be separated by dozens of miles.
At this point, the superiors on the master's side can basically only feel the general state of their subordinates through the ray of soul power "hosted" in the lower-level undead soul fire. If they notice that something is wrong, then they can pay additional attention.
Going to check it out becomes the simplest feedback mode for the undead cannon fodder's "detection line"...
The current situation of the elite vampires who are chasing the elves all the way out of the city is actually roughly the same.
In terms of absolute strength and quantity, the elite vampires are obviously superior. In addition, the city gate is on fire, so the necromancers naturally have no time to take care of this.
And during this period of time, the elves actually led the vampires gradually westward, towards Onuma Lake!
As they got further and further away from the stronghold, even the vampires, no matter how reckless they were, noticed something was wrong, and gradually there was a commotion... Especially because of the despicableness of the elves, they actually suppressed the shooting frequency and were not in a hurry to kill the vampires.
It is only suppressed when it transforms into a vampire bat form.
They chased but couldn't catch up, and they got farther and farther away from the city. After a long time of trying, they couldn't get a mouthful of delicious blood, but instead they suffered serious injuries...
All these things, the vampires are getting slower and slower, and they seem to have the intention of returning.
But the elves were here on orders, and all their actions had been planned before the war started. How could they let the other side leave at this time?
As soon as the vampires stopped, the elves turned around and fired two rounds of arrows, deliberately shooting the few elite vampires in the queue. In this way, the ferocity of the undead revived, and they gradually became able to chase and escape.
See the rugged luster of the water!
In addition to muddy land, waters, meadows, wetlands, etc., there are more and taller trees around Onuma Lake than in plain areas. Although it is not a serious forest terrain, for elves, it is obviously better to start a war in such a place than in plain areas.
It’s more cost-effective to fight strong enemies in the Cursed Land or the Green Plains, allowing them to further take advantage of their agility...
What the vampires didn't even expect was that with the help of the local lizard people, the elves even hid more arrows here, just waiting for the enemy to come to their door!
Who said you can't kill people without a supply truck?
The individual elves have limited transportation capacity, but they can be allowed to find combat supplies hidden in advance...
When they entered the home area, the elves' fierce power finally broke out!
The sharp arrows of the third-level elf archer may not be very deadly to the elite vampires of the fourth level, but coupled with Liu Yifei's preparation of a lot of purification potions, the problem becomes bigger when the two are combined~
Didn't you see that the fifth-level corpse witch was killed by several rounds of rapid bursts of fire? Now that the elves have the advantage of the home field, looking back, they have made up their mind to annihilate all the vampires with one strike!
When the elite vampires here began to suffer large-scale casualties, not to mention the necromancers, even Heath, who was far away in another city and was still entangled by Jenny, felt it vaguely.
It is impossible for a high-ranking undead to infinitely divide his soul as a whole. As a general on the expedition to Erathia, Hiss naturally has to control the "apprentices" under his command. However, the individual combat power of the legendary level must be controlled.
Anyone who doesn't pull will host his soul - not only to confirm the combat power and status of his subordinates, more often, this method of soul control itself is the best fuse.
The intelligence and knowledge reserves of the undead, especially high-level individuals and above, will accumulate over time. If they are not controlled, who knows if these powerful individuals will cause any problems.
And as long as the soul is lodged and the upper body maintains a sufficient strength advantage, there is no need to worry about ridiculous things like betrayal that occasionally happen in the human kingdom...
But when it comes to the intermediate level... only elite vampires can get into His eyes. Even the ordinary vampires who have just recovered are no different from trash in His eyes~
The sudden disappearance of several Corpse Witch Captains "enslaved" by Hiss in his own stronghold had already aroused Hiss's vigilance. It was expected that the human side had launched an attack on the strongholds under his control at the same time.
This feeling made Heath feel that it was not good. The humans were attacking in two directions, but he was still far away from the camp. There was no guarantee that there would be any accidents...
However, for the defense of the fortress, long-range fire was exchanged. The human side also had two long-range combat forces, crossbowmen and monks. Even the monks could restrain their own corpse witches to a certain extent.
In this case, it is understandable that some corpse witches died on our own city...
But not long after, even several of the most advanced elite vampires controlled by Heath suddenly disconnected their souls. This is very abnormal!!
The "apprentices" of the necromancers under his command, no matter how much Hiss looked down on them, they always knew why the defenders should not leave the city for a decisive battle~
If one's own melee troops suffer casualties, the most likely reason is that the two sides are in close combat!
Either... our city has been destroyed, and the human army on the opposite side has entered the city in large numbers... or the enemy's long-range firepower advantage is greater. In order to suppress the enemy's firepower as quickly as possible, those stupid apprentices have no choice but to send their own melee troops to raid...
With this in mind, I looked at the size of the enemies around me - although two powerful beings jumped out at once on the human side, and the old elf was hiding somewhere...but other than that, the human side's military strength was...
Really few! Just a few hundred slippery archers riding Pegasus.
Although it is indeed a bit troublesome...but these are not really an army large enough to destroy the stronghold...
At this moment, Heath already had suspicions in his mind. He suspected that the air force led by Liu Yifei here was just a feint attack force of the enemy. The real main force of the enemy was leading an army to storm his stronghold. Even the elf druid who had never shown up might have
over there……
Such thoughts together, even if it was just suspicion, caused a slight deviation in the rhythm of Heath's events. Finally, Jenny was able to escape from the opponent's clutches, panting violently to calm down the turbulent magic power around her...
On the other end, in the Hiss stronghold at this moment, the soul fire of the necromancers is already swaying and struggling, almost as if it is extinguished directly - the subsequent losses of the vampire elite are just a little bit, which is really unacceptable.
Our city wall completely collapsed!
Yes, even if the necromancers really discovered that something was wrong, they urgently mobilized vampires, most of the undead were evacuated, and they even dispersed all the remaining troops in the city except for the last trump card, they still could not completely stop the thousands of players from the Zhenguo Guild.
Show up to die!
Anyway, I was "killed" by Strong once before, so what if I do it again today? Not to mention that the players are not really powerless to resist at the moment - they are "fed" to make them stronger.
The terrifying [Corpse Vine] is the most decisive counterattack launched by more than a thousand first-level players against the NPC stronghold!
The black warriors who jumped from the top of the city only intercepted less than two-thirds of the players. No matter how fast they were and how efficient they were in killing, after all, players are different from those low-level NPC troops who are confused and have no brains.
The player is so frightened by the opponent's fear and coercion that he has difficulty moving. Even if he is sitting on the ground and rolling, he can still roll out half a meter or more. He will never wait for the butcher knife of the black warriors to hit his head.
After going back and forth, the hundreds of players who broke through the blockade shared their shares equally. Each corpse vine can be "nourished" by dozens of fresh flesh. There are even a few lucky vines that benefit from the convenient location and eat more delicious food.
, that guy really inflated like a balloon!
As soon as the corpse-eating vine grows, the first thing that suffers is the city wall of the undead side's stronghold. The wall that has been ravaged before can no longer hold up. The stones between the cracks directly burst and collapsed, and the wall
It contains magic power, and the bones that were originally used for offense and defense have become the best "fertilizer" for the growth of the corpse vine~
The zombie troops and returning undead vampires also surrounded them. By now, the corpse-eating vines were already too big to be removed. They actually withstood the soul fire burning of those necromancers and directly broke through the blockade at the top of the city wall!
What's on top of the city wall?
In addition to the remaining corpse witches and necromancers, there are also thousands of first-order skeleton shooters!!
Although skeletons are cannon fodder, skeleton shooters are not very popular, and are even more precious than the second-level corpse troops - because it is quite laborious to teach skeletons to use bows and arrows, and the physical constitution of skeletons themselves
, agility has requirements!
These skeleton shooters under Hiss are not only subsidized by the kingdom, but also have elites slowly accumulated over a long period of time. Although Hiss does not care so much about his subordinates compared to Strong, he does not even specially train any "personal guards".
"...
But this doesn’t mean that these skeletons can die casually~
At least there are too many dead in the army, so the undead wizard apprentices will never get anything good to eat!
However, right now, the corpse-eating vines that seemed to have become spirits have started a "massacre" on the top of the city wall - the [corpse-eating vines] themselves are not of a high rank, and their physique and strength attributes are only in the ordinary mid-level category.
But the corpse-eating vine that has grown to its current size is a bit scary, especially because the vitality of magical plant creatures is so powerful that it is not much different from the undead~
Normal strangulation, heavy smashing, etc., in fact, the damage to the skeleton shooter is average. After all, the corpse vine grows all the way up from the city, and its size after breaking through the top of the city wall is just that... What is scary is the "sweep" of the corpse vine.
attack!
Don’t forget that the top of the city wall is more than ten or twenty meters away from the ground!
The sixth-level black warriors are all free-falling and elegant... But that's because they are as strong as monsters!
Compared with this, a mere first-level skeleton is not even as brittle as a firewood stick... but the corpse-eating vine can sweep away all the skeletons in a fan-shaped area of several meters long in one sweep!
Their strength is definitely at a monster level compared to first-level skeletons, and the height difference of more than ten meters, coupled with the previous impact...the skulls of the skeletons were blown to pieces! Where can the soul fire be hidden?!
The moment the corpse-eating vines started killing the skeletons, the necromancers on the city went crazy - not because they were afraid that they would be targeted by those "ghost-eating vines", but because they were distracted and controlled the skeletons to retreat.
The pressure on my soul is driving me crazy!
How can a mere dozen necromancers complete the precise operations of thousands of skeleton shooters in an instant?
If they had just issued the general order as before, the skeletons' self-rescue efficiency when running around was impressive... and they would even run into the muzzle of the corpse-eating vine...
After such a chaotic battle, none of the human pariahs underneath did escape. Except for those who committed suicide and were eaten by those damn vines, they were all slaughtered by their own families. Their corpses were waiting to be dragged back and turned into the lowest skeletons, and then be eaten forever.
Torture yourself!
But the loss to my family is not small~
This side of the city wall was completely scrapped, and all the hard and strong bones that had been nourished during this period were eaten away... as well as the corpse witches and skeleton shooters who died on the city wall...
Looking at the mess here at the stronghold, a dozen necromancers who were stunned by each other even thought of abandoning the city and fleeing - if Lord Hiss came back and learned everything, how could they still survive?!
Lord Hiss has never had a good temper towards his apprentices...
That is to say, not long after the battle to defend the city here, someone among the necromancers suddenly sensed the "mutation" of the elite vampires ahead - Hiss controlled high-level and above troops, and his eyes were also spread among the elite vampires, and the remaining
The elite vampires, coupled with the largest undead team, have become the cornerstone of power for these apprentices under Hiss!
Whoever is stronger and has a more powerful soul will be able to control more elite subordinates with his soul after getting Lord Hiss's approval.
As for skeletons, dead bodies, etc., these are not something that these elite apprentices of the Necromancers will control on a daily basis. They just know a few things temporarily during wartime~
The feeling of large-scale losses of elite vampires on the front line came, but because the distance was indeed quite far, the necromancers were anxious and did not know what happened. Even if they wanted to confirm the situation, they had to wait a while.
But at this time, from the direction of the ziggurat in the stronghold, Lord Hiss' spiritual thoughts came from a distance, and an identical voice sounded in the hearts of all the undead wizards: "Amuro, Bisseny,
How is the situation in the stronghold..."
This voice was dull and stiff, and it was obvious that it was the power of Lord Hiss. He was far away from the people, and even with the help of the ziggurat's ability, he could only show a slight concern for the base camp.
But just like this, it frightened all the undead wizards and almost collapsed on the spot - because Lord Heath said when he asked this, he had noticed that something was wrong in his hometown.
The apprentices of the Necromancer were all frightened. Even the two who were named for questioning were so anxious that they didn’t even know where to start...
"They're all dead!!"
There was a low shout, and as the sound suddenly increased in soul perception, all the Necromancer apprentices present suddenly felt a sharp pain in their hearts. It was Lord Heath who directly used the soul power to punish the apprentices controlled by it.
"Sir! Your Majesty!! We are here! The stronghold... The stronghold has been fine. The enemy's attack has been defeated by us. Most of the enemies have died in the battle, but..."
"Just what?"
"It's just...it's just...the stronghold also...suffered certain losses. In addition to the soldiers killed...one of our walls...collapsed...the rest of the city defense facilities suffered losses..."
I had to bite the bullet... No, the necromancer who came out to report with his skull in his hands was worried, fearing that he would be ruthlessly tortured by Lord Hiss the next moment.
However, the expected storm-like impact did not appear, and even Lord Heath's voice came after a long time: "Bring all the vampires back immediately. If there are any problems, wait until I come back.
I will pull out your soul fire one by one, and then extinguish it on this land..."
In fact, Hiss already had the intention to retreat at this time. In its view, Strong was just a feint attack from the enemy to attract their attention. It was its own base camp that was really attacked by the enemy's main force - otherwise the enemy would
How could it be possible to knock down a wall in one's own home in such a short period of time?
You must know that the reason why the undead side has been holding back before is precisely because they are comprehensively strengthening the city defenses of their strongholds in the hope of erecting a solid war fortress.
Unexpectedly, with more than a month's effort, the enemy was able to defeat him in one fell swoop today...
If the female human hadn't gotten involved again, Heath would have used long-distance teleportation to go back to his hometown to check on the situation~
From its current point of view, it was a mistake to hand over its hometown to those idiot apprentices. It couldn't even resist these three moments (if Timius joined the war, I'm afraid it would really be unstoppable)...
On the other side, a group of necromancers standing in the ruins of the battlefield were frightened to death by Hiss's last words, because they absolutely believed that Lord Hiss would not just scare them...
What should we do now?
Of course it’s to recruit people!!
Lord Hiss has said that the elite vampires must be withdrawn. This is obviously the final bottom line!
But the distance is far away, and even if the necromancers want to deliver new orders to the front line, they can't!
What if all the elite vampires are destroyed... What should we do?
As a last resort, the necromancers could only use their highest authority to mobilize a small team of [Black Knights] - yes, just under Hiss' camp, there is actually an ace unit that has never been seen before!
Including a group of "death knights" with strengths ranging from fifth to sixth levels, and even a bone dragon brought from the Kingdom of Dia and directly belonging to Lord Hiss...
