Chapter 1,304 The Flame of the Old Era, the Authority of the Burial Ground
Recalling yesterday's thrilling experience, Grand Duke Jonathan was still a little frightened.
He underestimated the strange methods of those gangsters.
Yesterday morning, before daylight, the assassins sent by a group of gangsters actually avoided the layers of blockade inside and outside the camp and approached the central tent where he lived.
If Mayfair Black Orchid hadn't had an extremely keen perception and sensed the murderous intentions of those assassins in advance, maybe those guys would have succeeded.
Afterwards, judging from the bodies, those assassins were actually the elite members of the Shadow Venom Assassin Alliance who had disappeared for thousands of years, all sixth-level [Shadowfall Watchers].
There are not many people, less than a small team.
But his infiltration ability is extremely strong.
Far superior to the same-level scouts trained by Archduke Jonathan.
These [Shadowfall Watchers] from the powerful assassin organization of the last era have impressive assassination capabilities.
If they really get close to the big tent, the consequences can be imagined.
This also shows how difficult and daring the gangsters are.
If Grand Duke Jonathan dies here, I am afraid that the situation of the entire Kingdom of Avalon will be rewritten.
The territory that originally belonged to him will be competed by several other archdukes.
The princes, brothers, and nobles would all swarm in like hyenas smelling the rotten smell.
Thinking like this, Grand Duke Jonathan's heart became colder and colder.
He had a bad feeling about this place and those gangsters.
Grand Duke Jonathan couldn't help but start thinking.
Is the victory achieved through such mobilization of troops still valuable?
Now that things have developed, it is not the church that has harmed him, nor the illegitimate son Carter who is holding him back.
It's his own arrogance.
Yes, all mistakes stem from arrogance.
If only he had implemented a prudent strategy from the beginning and at the same time restrained Carter's behavior.
If we don't indulge his wanton commotion, but spend resources to cultivate Carter, maybe everything will be different.
"Withdrawal?"
The number of bandits entrenched in the ruins of the great city of Lentax is increasing.
They came from all directions, in every direction.
Like ants in full force.
Many bandits were still grouping together behind the scenes and trying to attack the camp.
According to the analysis of the staff accompanying the army, if current trends are followed, the total number of these bandits will exceed 30 million within five days.
Based on the ratio of casualties, annihilating the opponent would cost at least 5 million to 7 million troops.
This is still a conservative number.
The battle-death ratios of both sides could reach 1:30 and 1:20 at the beginning.
Later it became 1 to 10.
Even if the opponent's combat effectiveness is incomparable with Archduke Jonathan's army.
However, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. When the quantity scale reaches a certain level, the battle-death ratio will continue to decrease.
Until the threshold that triggers the upper limit of quantity.
Because this is not an infinitely progressive process.
But no matter what, the greater the number of bandits, the more severe the losses suffered by Archduke Jonathan will be.
This is the most serious question before the Grand Duke.
Just when the assassination of Archduke Jonathan brought him back to his senses.
He suddenly froze in place.
If this is the case, there is a way to peek into his thoughts.
You can find that there are reminders constantly refreshing in his mind.
After a long time, Grand Duke Jonathan suddenly came back to his senses.
The expression on his face became extremely shocked.
His pupils sometimes dilated and sometimes contracted and he was speechless for a long time.
Until I was startled by Mayfair Black Orchid's voice.
"Honey, it's time for dinner."
Before I knew it, it was nightfall outside.
Grand Duke Jonathan turned his head, forced a smile and waved to Mayfair.
"I'm not hungry yet. I plan to take a look at the current situation map between ourselves and the enemy."
"Fei'er, you go ahead and eat. You don't have to wait for me."
Hearing his words, Mayfair Hei Youlan nodded meaningfully, but did not continue to stay where she was.
He turned around and left the big tent.
At the same place, Grand Duke Jonathan let out a sigh of relief.
He staggered towards the long table, his steps becoming unsteady due to the shock.
Finally getting close to the long table, he almost fell down on the chair, his chest heaving violently.
"The Chosen Son...Lord...Points..."
"That's it."
"We were all fooled."
"But I seem to be one of the lucky ones."
"From now on, you can get points by killing those citizens and their soldiers and citizens."
"good…"
His thoughts were ups and downs, and he learned many truths that he had once been ignorant of.
Including the concepts of chosen son and lord.
Even some of the secrets of our ancestors’ founding of the country.
Archduke Jonathan finally understood why those "bandits" kept killing them.
Because he is not facing a certain force, but a certain group.
However, as an "insider" now, Grand Duke Jonathan also encountered many constraints.
Not only can't he reveal anything about it, but there are strict rules restricting him.
But while accepting restrictions, he also enjoyed new rights.
This includes points and many privileges.
Archduke Jonathan is called "the flame of the old age" by the supreme lord system.
Get the power to compete with the lords and compete for the new era of the endless continent.
For him, this was definitely a turning point in fate.
"integral…"
"Let me see what I can exchange for it."
It took half an hour for Grand Duke Jonathan to accept the fact.
I was immersed in the panel that appeared.
I began to think about how to use this advantage to rise.
He doesn't look down on other grand dukes now.
It seems that this "fire of the old age" is not determined by ability.
It's the degree of collision or interaction between the indigenous people and the lords.
Similar situations are by no means isolated, but they are also rare.
In addition to Grand Duke Jonathan, the lucky ones in the old era also had a similar fate in the Salander Sultanate, Prince Ayub, who discovered the lord early and intervened in it.
It's just that their tasks and missions and the ways to get points are different.
From this point of view, Grand Duke Jonathan seems destined to be enemies of most of the lords.
It's not just the Lords who are moving forward.
At a time when the Endless Continent is about to be turbulent, there are still many indigenous people who have received opportunities and changes.
When a wave comes, there is both destruction and rebirth.
…
Burial Ground, next to the Tower of the Dead.
The two original [Devil King's Secret Orders] in Zong Shen's hand disappeared.
It was replaced by a new secret order with a larger circle.
The new [Demon King’s Secret Order] has two-thirds of the authority.
Can control two-thirds of the area of the Boneyard and the undead born there.
This allows the excavation of the bone burial ground to be carried out in advance.
It is also good to dig two-thirds.
In addition, the new [Demon King's Secret Order] also gives Zong Shen the authority to mobilize some of the bunker's functions.
Just as he had speculated before, the Bone Burial Ground was simply the center of the blood-burning demon army that descended here, and they planned to set up camp here.
Therefore, all types of buildings can be said to be readily available.
It is mainly divided into two categories, the first is the auxiliary category, and the second is the combat category.
If broken down, some of them are undead buildings, and the rest are demon buildings.
He can mobilize undead buildings, including [Pond of Shadows], [Tower of Ghosts], [Swamp of Rot], [Altar of Souls], [Throne of Bones], [Forgotten Tower], and [Tower of the Dead]
].
These undead buildings each have different functions, but if used properly, the enemy's bones will become Zong Shen's reserves.
They have the ability to cultivate the undead.
It allows Zong Shen to produce and sell by himself.
Among them, the [Tower of the Dead] is the center that controls the birth of the undead in the Bone Burial Ground.
Zong Shen also only received partial authority.
Through this part of his authority, he knew the current number of undead in the Boneyard.
There are currently 2,972,382 undead in the entire Boneyard.
There are more than 100,000 undead in this section of the burial ground near the territory alone.
The total is quite staggering.
After all, the scale of the Bone Burial Ground is here.
Moreover, Zong Shen had been mentally prepared from the beginning.
At that time, the strategy module mentioned that there were hundreds of thousands of undead in the Bone Burial Ground adjacent to the territory. Looking back now, everything was correct.
There are no first- or second-order existence among these undead.
The starting point was the third-level undead, because the blood-burning demons had specially selected them.
The requirements for the raw materials of their corpses are very strict, and low-level miscellaneous fish are not even qualified to be transformed into undead.
After all, even if there are complete undead transformation buildings and rituals, the transformation process itself requires energy and cannot be created out of thin air.
Therefore, most of the blood-burning demons at that time chose the corpses of strong warriors to enter here.
The civilians of Azshara were also buried in the ground. The difference was that those civilians were not qualified to be used as materials and could only be ground into powder, or used as flesh and blood as nourishment for the bone burial ground.
This is also the reason why big monsters could often be dug up in the Boneyard at that time.
The same goes for Richardson, the Lion and Skull Knight.
The third level of undead has the largest number, about 1.3 million.
The number of fourth-level undead is about 710,000.
The number of fifth-level undead is about 340,000, and the number of sixth-level undead is about 160,000.
There are less than 30,000 seventh-level undead.
There are only dozens of legendary level undead higher up.
As for the demigods and undead, there are barely half of them.
It is in an unfinished, semi-finished state, and it is not within the control of two-thirds of Zong Shen's current authority, so I won't mention it for now.
I have to say that the Blood-Burning Demon at that time was still very ambitious.
He also thought about creating demigod-level undead.
Such behavior is no less than playing with fire.
Zong Shen has not yet considered whether to restart the plan to create demigod undead.
These things will wait until he gets the last [Devil King's Secret Order] and completely gains control of the Bone Burial Bunker.
At that time, this place will truly become a barrier to the north of the territory.
He sorted out all the relevant building information.
The first is his "old friend" [Pond of Shadows].
It’s just that the quality of the [Pond of Shadows] in the territory is purple rare.
Both the area and the effect are far inferior to the "genuine" one in the Boneyard.
The efficiency of undead transformation between the two is quite different.
Zong Shen had obtained relevant drawings before,
Lines of golden subtitles appeared, allowing Zong Shen to intuitively understand their functions.
Prepare to give them to Mariel after returning to the ground.
[Pond of Shadows (Gold)]
[Quality: Epic special undead building]
【Complete Building】
[Occupied area: 3014 square meters]
[Sturdiness value: 24800]
[Building Armor: 155]
[Building magic resistance: 155]
[Effect: Powerful shadow condensation (automatically absorbs the surrounding shadow energy and necromantic energy and turns it into shadow pool water. The condensation speed will receive an additional bonus. If it is located near a shadow energy enrichment or battlefield, the progress will be accelerated)
Skeleton transformation (put the skeleton into the shadow pool, absorb varying amounts of shadow pool water, give birth to soul fire, and turn it into an undead creature. The length of the skeleton must not exceed 80 meters. The maximum strength level after transformation is epic level.
)
Undead healing (undead and undead creatures can soak in the shadow pool and consume a certain amount of shadow pool water to repair body damage and injuries)
Devouring Life (Putting in flesh and blood items can turn them into the power of shadow)]
(The shadow pool is an essential building for cultivating the undead army. Placing it in the Bone Burial Ground can avoid the negative impact of high-intensity shadow energy on living beings, and at the same time, it can also efficiently transform the shadow pool water)
There are six shadow pools in total, all of which are golden and epic.
Gather together, as long as there are enough shadow pool water and bone raw materials.
There is no problem in producing 100,000 undead every day.
It can be regarded as a very typical "violent building".
Of course, a shadow pool of this size has limitations on conversion levels.
Undead at level six and below can be transformed at any time.
The transformation of high-level undead requires higher-level buildings and complex processes.
Since Zong Shen took over the authority here, the Burial Ground happens to be within the scope of the territory, and all the buildings he has authority over here can choose to be relocated.
But there is no need for this.
Because the environment of the Bone Burial Ground is uniquely blessed for the undead.
With his thoughts turning, he looked at the information about [Ghost Tower] again.
…
[Ghost Tower (Gold)]
[Quality: Epic special undead building]
【Complete Building】
[Occupied area: 313 square meters]
[Height: 29 meters]
[Sturdiness value: 24800]
[Building Armor: 155]
[Building magic resistance: 155]
[Necromantic magic damage: 792~993]
[Undead death energy reserve: 500000/500000]
[Total attack speed: 120/second]
[Attack port: 12]
[Attack range: 0~1000 meters]
[Effect: Ghost Strike (Ghost Tower has twelve attack ports, each attack port can have an attack speed of 10 times per second, each attack can cause 1.2 times the magic damage of the Silk Order, and consume 50 points of undead death
gas)
Death puppets (creatures that die from the ghost attack will be transformed into death puppets, with 50% of their original attributes, and can last for 2 hours. During this period, they can accept orders from the ghost tower. Each ghost tower can control up to 10,000 death puppets.
)
Holy Light is weakened (within a 300-meter radius around the Ghost Tower, the effects of all Holy Light magic are weakened by 10%)】
