Chapter 507: Return to the station ruins and conquer the Lion Skeleton Knight [5K]
Because he used [Learning Candy] and [Silver Lion's Ring] as two items.
Successfully mastered the method of controlling the Lion Skeleton Knight.
In the instinctive will of these skeleton knights, there is still the obedience that belongs to the lion knights.
Then by issuing instructions through soul fluctuations, you can perfectly control these powerful lion and skeleton knights.
At present, all the previous concerns have been solved.
Zong Shen is now focused on how to obtain more benefits.
If there are crypts in the ruins, there is no need for large-scale excavation.
He is even able to control the Lion Skeleton Knight, the biggest unstable factor.
This exploration should avoid combat altogether.
Because, as long as these two conditions are met, there is no possibility of alarming the Riptide Tribe fishmen.
Zong Shen still doesn’t know how many lion and skeleton knights there are in the ruins of the Knights’ residence.
However, based on the principle of getting it early and feeling comfortable early, he decided to tame them all as soon as possible.
And in order to avoid trouble, he must get it done before Baron Bezos arrives.
It is now past ten o'clock in the morning, and Baron Bezos should not arrive for more than three hours.
This time should be enough for him to take a look at the ruins of the residence first.
In this continent, the living and the dead are in conflict with each other.
Except for those necromancers and a few churches.
There has never been any precedent for the major kingdoms to use undead armies.
Zong Shen was afraid that Baron Bezos would cause misunderstandings when he saw that he controlled those lion and skeleton knights.
In this regard, he still chose to hide and reserve as much as possible.
While it's still early, Zong Shen can conquer all those lion and skeleton knights.
Leave one end for Baron Bezos to give him a dozen to dispel his suspicions.
All the rest were transported back to the territory via goblin airships.
Zong Shen climbed up the hemp rope, thinking about the problem while climbing.
The cliff is very steep, and next to the hemp rope are all kinds of rugged rocks.
Some rocks are sharp and can easily scratch the skin.
But Zong Shen didn't have any scruples about this.
He was covered in armor, like a metal can.
Coupled with the strength attribute of up to 167 points, it makes him very easy to climb ropes.
It took him about five or six minutes to successfully climb the cliff.
All the soldiers stood nearby with concern, waiting for the results of Zong Shen's investigation.
Especially Vereesa, she is particularly interested in these relics left by the resistance coalition forces.
"Below is a 10,000-kilometer-level space teleportation magic array."
"But it has been damaged and needs to be repaired before it can be used."
"This teleportation array seems to be connected to several secret strongholds of the resistance forces back then."
Zong Shen said simply, but saw that Vereesa's face was a little depressed.
Obviously this teleportation array did not meet some of her goals.
Although Zong Shen could vaguely guess some things, he would not take the initiative to emphasize them.
Now his attention is still on the garrison ruins.
Once the Lion Skeleton Knight is taken care of, this trip will be considered worthwhile.
As for the return escort, it's easy, he just needs to use soul waves to convey the instructions.
After all, those lion skeleton knights have completely regarded Zong Shen as their commander.
Fortunately, I brought Tasia with me this time. That guy is a real necromancer and can master the method of soul fluctuation. It is just right for her to be responsible for piloting the goblin airship.
Even though the goblin airship is just a small airship, it can hold at least a dozen lion and skeleton knights.
If there are too many lion and skeleton knights in the ruins, Zong Shen can consider transporting them away in two batches.
One group was first hidden in the nearby mountains and forests.
They regard Zong Shen as their commander and will execute any order unconditionally.
Coupled with the emotionless nature of the undead, they will never run around after hiding.
After roughly sorting out the countermeasures in his mind, Zong Shen went down the mountain again.
The cooldown of Levitation takes 6 hours.
After thinking for a while, he decided to save Kaginia's group levitation technique.
This time he has to go down the mountain with bare hands, which should affect some efficiency.
Zong Shen came to the side of the cliff and found a gentle slope, and started running down.
It took about seven or eight minutes to reach the mountainside.
Then he adjusted his position again and ran towards the foot of the mountain.
It took more than twenty minutes to return to the pits of the ruins.
After observing the surroundings again, he confirmed that there were no lion skeleton knights or shallow water murlocs running around.
He then descended into the pit and re-entered the cave through the tunnel.
In more than an hour, he has come twice.
When he first entered, he felt uneasy.
Everything at that time was an unknown situation.
But now, Mr. Zong has become extremely calm.
The biggest threat to this ruins has been solved by him.
Now all that's left is to harvest to your heart's content.
It doesn't matter even if there are undead spirits that are more powerful than ordinary lion and skeleton knights.
As long as he was related to the Silver Lion Knights during his lifetime, Zong Shen would be sure to control it with the [Ring of the Silver Lion].
The effectiveness of this ring is unquestionable.
The former commander of the Silver Lion Knights, Richardson, is now wandering in the burial ground.
In other words, Zong Shen, who holds the Silver Lion Ring here, can be almost unscrupulous.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some undead have forgotten their nature of obedience.
After all, anything is possible.
Zong Shen also had a countermeasure for this, which was to have a fight.
Finally, save it to fight together when Baron Bezos arrives.
This can further lower his vigilance.
Zong Shen took out the magic flashlight and turned it on to level 2.
Walking through the cave, we passed by the outside of the hut where the wooden beams were previously broken.
The lion and skeleton knight that was tamed before still stands here.
It is motionless, like a sculpture.
If it weren't for the fact that the soul fire was still shining, Zong Shen would have thought that this guy had become cold.
He stood in this position and began to ask the strategy module for guidance.
"Please mark for me the valuable locations of the ruins and the locations of those treasure chests."
This time, Golden Line navigation has never been more complicated.
Some are in the caves, and some are on both sides of the walkway.
Others are at the end of the aisle.
This shows that some ruins can be directly exposed due to the caves.
There are still many ruins in a closed state.
Excavation will still be needed at that time.
It’s just that the mining strategy needs to change. We can’t continue to do it with great fanfare. We have to dig quietly.
Zong Shen did not have the conditions for large-scale excavation, so he planned to walk along the tunnel first.
Take a look at the details of this crypt.
Because his main purpose is to find the Lion Skeleton Knight.
Continuing forward along the tunnel, we encountered three more huts close to the passage.
Most of them have collapsed, and the remaining space is very cramped.
In addition to some corpses and broken weapons and equipment, Zong Shen also found a silver treasure chest.
After his inspection, everything in the silver treasure chest was normal, so it was put away.
When he came to the end of the passage, he understood where the lion and skeleton knight just ran out from.
To the right at the end of the passage is a much shorter passage.
The length is about ten meters, and after walking out, you will come to a relatively spacious place.
This place looks like a hall, but the height is only about three meters like the cave passage.
As far as you can see, you can see small wooden houses lined up on the left and right.
There are at least twenty or thirty.
There are still many dark corners, and even with a magic flashlight it is difficult to see everything clearly.
There is no doubt that this is the main part of the residence ruins of the Knights of the Lion.
The passages passed before connect to another part.
In front of me, there are twenty or thirty small wooden houses buried deep in the ground, with only an obvious open space on one side.
Based on the previous situation, Zong Shen also understood that this ruins was most likely buried due to a landslide. A large amount of soil and rocks mixed with rainwater formed a debris flow.
This also explains why there are exposed cliffs and rocks on the mountainside.
The cliff was very vertical, as if it had been cut with a knife or an axe.
This is a miraculous work of nature.
Because the surface soil and gravel have been washed away.
The torrential mudslide rolled down like a wave, swallowing up the remains of the camp on the mountainside.
The cabin near the mountainside was destroyed in an instant.
Most of the cabins themselves have a certain degree of sturdiness, and were only buried under the debris flow, but did not completely collapse.
As for why such caves and underground spaces were formed, Zong Shen was not sure.
It seems that it appeared long after the mudslide occurred.
Because by that time the soil below had dried and become quite solidified.
This new conclusion also overturned his initial speculation that the cave was formed naturally.
At this time, he thought of those shallow-water murlocs of the Riptide Tribe.
Those guys should have only been active here in the last two to three hundred years.
It is very likely that they discovered the ruins and then excavated the place.
It is precisely because of this that those shallow water fish people are so vigilant.
They must have alerted the lion skeleton knights during the excavation process, and a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides, and the murlocs of the Riptide tribe must have suffered a big loss.
Otherwise, they would not have abandoned the south bank, and at the same time, they had established strict sentries.
The combat effectiveness of these lion skeleton knights is beyond doubt.
Compared with them, the fish-men warriors have a huge gap in single-target combat power.
However, it is not easy to hurt these murloc warriors, which illustrates another problem.
There are definitely many lion and skeleton knights sleeping below, and there are even powerful undead warriors.
Now Zong Shenke was looking forward to it more and more.
According to the guide of the guide, there are four or five places worth exploring.
However, Zong Shen was ready to check out all the huts.
He grabbed the magic flashlight and began to move forward step by step, preparing to walk to the nearest small house.
After walking only a few steps, a "ta-da" sound came from the shadows nearby.
This time the clicking sounds were very dense, echoing in the underground space.
Zong Shen stopped and looked happy.
He was very familiar with this sound, which was the sound of skeletons and horses trampling.
It means that the nearby lion skeleton knight has been alerted.
So not only did he not have any worries, he was also very happy.
He has been waiting for this moment to arrive!
Silently he took off the chain glove on his right hand. Now everything is ready and all he needs is the east wind.
"Come on, little Skeleton Knight baby!"
He whispered to himself softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, red rays of soul fire appeared from every corner.
A rough count shows that there are twenty or thirty regiments.
There are more than he expected, and this may not be all of them.
With this group of lion skeleton knights, it is completely possible to form 2 to 3 teams.
Under his expectation, these lion and skeleton knights launched a charge one by one.
The skeleton horse kept approaching with the clear sound of hoofbeats.
Light blue flames burned on the four hooves.
Zong Shen was not worried about this, he just stretched out his right hand and illuminated it with a magic flashlight.
Such actions seem to have magical powers.
All the skeleton knights reined in their horses and stopped after approaching.
Suddenly, dust flew up.
The horse's hooves sank into the ground, stopping its body abruptly.
Zong Shen turned his eyes calmly and counted the lion and skeleton knights on the scene.
"28."
"Adding the previous one, that's 29."
"Able to form less than two and a half teams of Lion Skeleton Knights."
There is no living being here except him.
So Zong Shen could summarize and calculate by talking to himself.
For any warrior, the formation of scale means the formation of combat effectiveness.
This is especially true for cavalry. The power of a small team charge is much greater than that of a single cavalry charge.
And a squadron or even group-scale charge is much more powerful than a squad charge.
After forming a group, the cavalry can kill the enemy like mowing grass in one charge.
The damage caused is no less than that of high-level group attack magic.
After all, high-level magic has a long cooling time as a constraint.
But the cavalry is different, except for its powerful charging skills.
It can also enter the automatic gun setting state every tens of seconds.
This means that after a big battle, as long as the terrain is suitable and the enemy does not have restrained troops, you can repeatedly charge and kill.
Of course, this refers to the heavily armored lancers.
There are also many subdivisions among the cavalry.
For example, heavily armored lancers and heavily armored swordsmen.
The weapons they use are different, and their functions and styles in combat are also different.
The only thing they have in common is that they and their horses are both heavily armored.
In addition, there are light cavalry.
They are further divided into light rangers and light assault cavalry.
Rangers usually use hunting bows as weapons and are good at mounted archery.
It moves extremely quickly and is often responsible for roaming and harassing people.
The assault cavalry uses a one-handed knight's sword or scimitar.
There are also assault cavalry equipped with small arm shields.
In fact, the Wolf Cavalry is a type of assault cavalry.
It's just that their mounts are giant wolves.
The role of assault cavalry is very simple, and they also have good mobility.
In battle, it is responsible for attacking weak points such as the enemy's flanks and rear.
They don't need to consider frontal combat, they are like a pair of scissors, tearing apart the enemy bit by bit.
At the same time, he also shoulders the responsibility of attacking the shooters and mages in the rear.
These are the general classifications of cavalry.
In addition, there are similar distinctions in aerial cavalry, but aerial cavalry can ignore most terrain restrictions.
Therefore, the combat method is still very different from that of traditional ground cavalry.
As for the lion and skeleton cavalry in front of us, they naturally belong to a type of heavy lancer.
Even if they all become undead and lose their flesh and blood.
The originally thick armor of heavy knights has become tattered, but their fighting style is still that of heavy lancers.
After a bit of scaling, these guys become lawnmowers on the battlefield.
Zong Shen raised his right fist to reveal the silver lion head carving on the ring.
This thing worked really well. After discovering the [Silver Lion Ring], all the lion skeleton cavalry stopped, even dismounted, put their knight swords on the ground, and knelt down on one knee.
Such a gesture represents surrender.
Zong Shen nodded with satisfaction, began to emit soul fluctuations, and issued new instructions.
This method of communication was very strange, and Zong Shen could feel that his thoughts had substance.
But this feeling is not obvious, this is the soul fluctuation.
The lion and skeleton knights in front of them stood up one after another, their bones making a clicking sound.
The fire of their souls is also trembling, and what comes from them is respect and surrender.
Skeleton undead like this are often people with low intelligence and no good intentions.
However, they still have fighting instincts and clear choice logic.
To put it into detail, that guy Richardson is truly short-sighted.
Its logical ability is not even comparable to that of these younger brothers.
This is all because its undead origin is suppressed by the spirit of chivalry.
Normally resurrected undead will either actively attack and kill nearby creatures.
Or they would seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and run away immediately.
As long as that guy doesn't actively attack other people and doesn't leave there.
He wanders around the areas on both sides of the Boneyard all day long.
It seems like it's waiting for something, and it seems like it's looking for something.
Zong Shen had not mastered the method of using soul waves to communicate before.
Therefore, it is impossible to conduct in-depth exploration on Richardson.
In addition, there were too many things going on at that time, including challenges and the Calamity Raven Church, so he could not spare any time to consider this aspect.
It was different now, he could feel Richardson's thoughts through soul fluctuations.
Intuition told Zong Shen that there might be some hidden tasks.
The task must contact the person involved before it has a chance to be triggered and form a task list.
So just relying on strategies is not enough, you must start with Richardson.
By the time he thought about this, the lion skeleton knights had all run into the tunnel according to his instructions. The tunnel they entered was fifty or sixty meters long, allowing two skeleton knights to walk side by side.
It is enough to accommodate the 29 lion and skeleton knights for the time being.
After taming these skeleton knights easily, the next step is the main event.
No matter if there are other undead here.
The nearby cabins will be one of his exploration targets.
