Chapter 376 The Kingdom of God is also in short supply of people recently.
…
…
Outside Crescent Mountain, by Mogu Lake.
The terrifying fireball that destroyed the world slowly dissipated, leaving only a large number of sparks dancing on the remaining lake.
The terrifying heat ignited the air, and the flow of heat disrupted the nearby airflow.
Matthew walked on the lake with the radiance of gems all over his body.
Even if I just take a breath.
There was a slight burning sensation in the lungs.
"Is this thing really still a fireball technique?"
While feeling emotional.
Matthew found a huge skeleton exposed on the dry lake.
This skeleton looked like a huge monster with nine heads in total, but at this time almost all the flesh and blood except the bones had been reduced to ashes.
In fact.
If she hadn't hid in the lake before she died, it's very likely that not even these bones would be left.
Matthew's eyes wandered over the skeleton.
Not long after.
He found what he wanted——
It was under the ribs of the nine-headed monster. Matthew stretched out his hand and accurately grabbed the insect, which had a skin color like the starry sky and looked like a silkworm baby.
"I have long heard that evil spirits have two lives. When I saw it today, it turned out to be true."
Matthew smiled faintly, ignored the insect's trembling and pleading, stuffed her directly into a glass bottle, and then skillfully sealed the bottle's mouth.
This is Gulishati’s ghost insect.
Also known as natal insects.
This is the true nature of the evil spirit, and the nine-headed monster on the lake is just her parasite.
Each evil spirit will have different parasites, and some powerful evil spirits will even have multiple parasites.
Unlike other parasites.
The relationship between the evil spirit's body and the parasite is much closer. Once the parasite is killed, its body will become very weak.
For example, take this ghost insect from Gulishati.
Even with Matthew's bare hands, she didn't have much ability to resist and could only let others manipulate him.
Unless she can absorb enough psionic energy and find the next suitable parasite, she will almost never be able to stand up again!
Matthew is quite interested in evil spirits.
This ghost bug was just captured and can be studied.
"It's a pity that Hodges escaped."
Matthew couldn't help but glance at the water's edge. There was still a gray area there, which was one of the few areas near Mogu Lake that had not been burned by flames.
At the moment Matthew threw the card of Olorin, a gray shield suddenly appeared on the body of the evil spirit lord Hodges, and it was that shield that ate most of Olorin's body.
harm.
At that moment, Matthew also learned that the power came from the evil spirit lord Omadouqi whom he had offended!
even so.
Hodges was also seriously injured and had to flee in embarrassment.
Matthew wasn't worried about his return to Crescent Mountain.
Instead, I'm worried that he won't go back.
That might result in one less evil spirit object to study.
"Matthew, I've been very sleep deprived recently. As we agreed before, after shooting this fireball, I'm going to take a long nap!"
Olorin made a confused voice, as if he might collapse at any time:
"I'm really sleepy now!"
Matthew smiled:
"Do you need me to cheer you up?"
Olorin chuckled:
"My love for sleep is innate and eternal. No matter what you do, you can't refresh me!"
Matthew blinked:
"How about we get together?"
Oluolin was suddenly shocked. He immediately realized that Matthew was joking, and couldn't help complaining:
"Don't tell ghost stories before bed, Matthew!"
"I treat you as a friend, but you can't keep coveting my body. This is too weird!"
Matthew said a few words of comfort.
Only then did Oluolin calm down.
But this guy was probably really sleepy. He borrowed a shovel from Matthew on the spot, and then dug a hole for himself by the lake!
Then he pushed the coffin into the pit, got in himself, and closed the coffin lid from the inside!
"Please bury me!"
"When you leave this plane, just remember to take me with you."
"I really desperately need a good night's sleep, please please!"
Eurolin requested this.
Naturally, Matthew had to give face, so he took it upon himself to fill up the hole. He even piled a small earth bag on top, and inserted a chrysanthemum brought from Jade Cangting on the earth bag.
.
He stood on the dirt bag.
Looking back at the battle record just now.
"Isn't your little Lich brother a little too powerful?"
The voice of Mulan, the Shield of Gemstone Mountain, rang in Matthew's ears.
Matthew explains:
"He is not my little brother, he is my friend."
"Actually, I don't know much about his strength."
"He seems to be only good at fireball, but his fireball... is a bit unusual."
Mulan Monster shouted:
"If you hadn't said that it was a fireball technique, I would have definitely thought that it was a extreme sunburst!"
"But I have just identified a characteristic of his fireball. It seems to have an instant kill effect on units below legendary level."
"But for units above legendary level, his fireballs can only severely injure them at most, and this kind of serious injury is treated equally, it's probably a percentage damage?"
Matthew nodded slightly.
Mulan is indeed a legendary mage who specializes in the field of protection. He can analyze so many things just by looking at Olorin's fireball.
"You mean, his fireballs aren't that dangerous to legendary and above units?"
"But that female evil spirit just couldn't resist it..."
Matthew asked doubtfully.
Mullan replied:
"The fireball has great restraint on evil spirits, and the female evil spirit's power is impure. She is probably a parallel import legend who was promoted through some taboo secret method."
"That Hodges is different. He is really quite capable. Even without Omadouchi's shield, he should be able to survive. Of course, he is just surviving."
"I don't think his fireball technique is ineffective against legendary units. In fact, being able to stably seriously injure legendary units is already a pretty terrifying skill."
"I just want to remind you that if you rely on his fireball to deal with units above legendary, you have to be prepared to last-hit in most situations."
Matthew nodded slightly.
Mulan's combat experience is undoubtedly extremely rich. He has said so, and he should be more prepared.
Think about it carefully.
When used against legends, one of Olorin's moves seems to be able to seriously injure him, but rarely has the effect of directly ending his life.
This actually does not match the power of his fireball.
"I see!"
Matthew clapped his hands:
"He has no equipment!"
This is the crux of the problem!
Although Olorin is very powerful, he doesn't have any attribute-increasing equipment!
Not even a staff!
This has seriously violated the common sense of mage combat!
"What you say makes sense. If he can have a piece of equipment that provides legendary resistance penetration, maybe even ordinary legends will be killed by him in one move!"
"It's a pity that legendary penetration is a very precious attribute..."
Mullan agreed with Matthew's statement and gave his own conjecture.
Matthew said nothing.
But his mind had already turned around:
"Except for the last hit."
"I can also support Orolin!"
"Broken Moon-Yuehua can provide 15% legendary penetration, not to mention that the Necromancer also has two spells, "Lost Mind" and "End of the Road", which are specially designed to reduce resistance!"
The more Matthew thought about it, the more excited he became.
"Lost Mind" and "End of the Road" are both fifth-level spells in the realm of necromancy. Both can reduce resistance and provide certain legendary penetration.
But these two spells are very unpopular.
Because at first glance, they are used to fight beyond levels, and Necromancers almost never fight beyond levels.
They are only good at using the big to bully the small, and the many to bully the few.
Even if it reaches the legendary realm.
Legendary Necromancers rarely have head-on conflicts with enemies of the same level.
Most of the time they are hiding behind the scenes.
But Matthew is different.
Compared to the traditional Necromancer.
He seems to be more talented in frontal charges and spell duels.
"Looks like I have to learn a skill when I go back."
"Try to be a good assistant to Brother Olorin."
"If the two of us work together, maybe we can become a legendary killer!"
Matthew laughed to himself.
The negotiations at Mogu Lake ended on bad terms.
Matthew led people straight to Crescent Mountain.
At this time, in Crescent Mountain, little ghost faces were running around holding balls of death plague.
These little grimaces have the ability to pass through walls and cracks, making them perfect for dropping plague balls.
When Matthew arrived.
Peggy and Xiao Fei have already brought a considerable part of the undead army to the city.
This is Matthew’s biggest advantage as a necromancer——
As an immortal king.
Philoleus had the natural ability to lead troops;
Peggy is a heroic unit and can also bring a certain amount of troops;
The two of them were able to share the strategic pressure for Matthew, and it was precisely because of their existence that Matthew's plan to divide his troops into two directions was successful.
Matthew deliberately held back the evil spirit couple in Mogu Lake.
while they were fishing.
Peggy is already directing Little Ghostface to throw the Death Ball into the Crescent Mountain.
Xiao Fei even secretly led a wave of troops to break through the wooden city wall of Crescent Mountain.
When Matthew arrived with the Death Canopy and the large army.
The situation in Crescent Mountain is a foregone conclusion.
It only took most of a day.
The canopy of death floated over Crescent Mountain, and almost all areas were occupied by the undead!
In fact.
Matthew captured this town much faster than Tyrannosaurus Town, and the process was smoother.
After all, compared to the powerful dragon people, the three main forces of Crescent Mountain - evil spirits, astral humans and wild boar people are extremely weak in the face of the death canopy.
the most important is.
When the undead army raided Crescent Mountain, the latter lacked a backbone.
Just as Matthew expected.
The evil spirit lord Hodges was so frightened by Olorin's fireball that he did not dare to escape back to Crescent Mountain, but fled to other places.
That's why.
The defenders of Crescent Mountain failed to put up any decent resistance and collapsed under the charge of the Bone Dragon Legion.
Naturally, the remaining mob could not withstand the continuous judgment of immediate death.
When dark clouds come over the country.
This is the day when the city is destroyed and people die!
Among the heavy leaden clouds, Matthew stood on the edge of the magic carpet, overlooking the east from a high position.
now.
A large number of people are fleeing the city.
These figures rushed out of the eastern city gate of Crescent Mountain like a tide, and fled along both sides of the road in an exhausting manner.
Previously in Tyrannosaurus Town.
About 2/5 of the residents successfully escaped.
And this time in Crescent Mountain.
More people escaped.
Matthew estimates that 4/5 of the town's population actually fled directly.
On the one hand, this is related to the fact that they offered little resistance.
On the other hand, it is also the result of Matthew's deliberate creation.
He had told Xiao Fei and Peggy that the main purpose of attacking Crescent Mountain this time was to spread fear and expel the population.
In fact.
In the absence of the evil spirit lord, the defenders of Crescent Mountain were indeed in disarray.
Matthew's strategy was quite successful.
Instead of killing everyone in the city, he watched them flee to the east.
And right at the end of this road.
On the plain that is invisible to the naked eye, lies the last large gathering place in the sampan plane——
City of Night Angels.
It is said that the commerce and population there are extremely developed. There are not only floating docks leading to the star realm, but also many large and small mercenary groups from the star realm.
It is also the territory where the God of Midnight and the Scourge Cult operate most deeply.
The difficulty of attacking Night Angel City is obviously several times that of Tyrannosaurus Town and Crescent Mountain.
Matthew was ready for a fierce battle.
But before that.
He planned to give a gift to the defenders of Night Angel City——
That is this group of refugees from the astral realm...
And there are more than two thousand poisonous animals and sources of disease mixed in this group of refugees!
Because the attack on Crescent Mountain went so smoothly.
Before the Plague Ball had time to take effect, the city had already been captured by Matthew.
Therefore, he temporarily suppressed the large-scale outbreak of the Death Ball.
Those little cuties carrying the poison and epidemic will blend in with the crowd and arrive at the next destination with them.
This is undoubtedly an extremely cruel gift.
"War makes people evil..."
Matthew sighed and shook his head.
Unknowingly, there was so much blood on my hands.
But he won't have much psychological burden from this——
When war is about one's own survival, it becomes ridiculous to discuss whether it is unjust.
Especially when the astral forces regard Irondor as their meal.
Matthew knows very well that his actions also represent the will of the alliance.
Now that I have decided to go out and bite them.
You have to take a big bite!
…
"Tip: Your soldiers are sweeping across Crescent Mountain, and the intensity of the Undead Scourge has been greatly increased!
The spread of your title "Despicable Matthew" has further increased!
The awe of you among the creatures in the astral world becomes even stronger!
The current number of undead controlled by Death Canopy: 39,471 (including one legendary unit)
Your undead natural disaster has triggered the ritual of death, and you are about to automatically summon the second "projection of death"!"
…
Um?
Another Death Projection?
Matthew looked up.
The second projection of death suddenly arrived.
Different from the first image of standing with the sky in the air, the second projection of Death is sitting cross-legged on the ground.
His posture seemed to be meditating.
even so.
His head also pressed against the canopy of death, making it look even more majestic and shocking.
Matthew silently stared at the projection of the two gods of death.
After talking to Kesha, the Plague Girl.
Matthew's mentality towards death has also undergone a slight change.
It was an indescribable emotion.
It is difficult for him to describe it accurately.
"Forget it, don't think so much, you can't use mortal thinking to try to understand gods..."
Matthew shook his head.
In addition to the changes in emotion, Matthew could also feel that the projection of the God of Death contained some unexplored powerful power.
"If I continue to capture more cities, will I be able to summon more death projections?"
"When I have three or four Death God projections, the effect of this thing may change qualitatively..."
Matthew noticed it clearly.
After the second projection of the God of Death arrived, the projection of the first God of Death also became more vivid and clear.
In the dark.
It was as if there was a magic attracting Matthew.
He couldn't help but stare at the two projections in a daze.
"I can't watch anymore. This may be the subtle backlash of the undead natural disaster on the controller..."
Matthew quickly stabilized his will.
As the number of undead under his command grows larger and larger.
He actually felt a kind of ubiquitous pressure.
Even if Peggy and Xiao Fei could help share the burden, he still felt very uncomfortable.
He now feels like breathing through a mask, and the number of layers of the mask is increasing layer by layer...
"It seems that we still have to maintain the original plan, and we must make a quick decision!"
Just at this moment.
Peggy came over.
She shouted loudly:
"Matthew Matthew!"
"Is there any way you can make me bigger?"
Matthew looked at Peggy up and down, and finally replied:
"I think you're quite big."
Paige shook her head wildly:
"It's not big enough!"
"Every time I was the first to take the lead and killed many defenders, but everyone's eyes were focused on those stupid bone dragons, especially the big bone dragon. He was really capable.
Attract other people’s attention!”
"Why? It's not fair. I want to be big too!"
Peggy looked indignant.
At this moment, Xiao Fei happened to come to Matthew's side. He made a whining sound and then meekly lowered his head——
as usual.
Xiao Fei almost put his chin on the ground, rubbing his side cheek back and forth against Matthew's arm like a dog.
Peggy couldn't help but glared at him:
"You just finished being in the limelight, and now you're pretending to be aggrieved?"
Xiao Bo didn't speak at all.
He just opened his mouth, bang bang——
Treasures like a mountain poured out of his belly continuously!
Just for a moment.
What was in front of Matthew's eyes was a magnificent sight!
He took a few quick glances and found that here were the treasures and trophies collected by Philoleus from Crescent Mountain.
Various precious metals and gems account for the majority, and the rest are rare materials, standard equipment and some other props.
Attacked Tyrannosaurus Town before.
Since Matthew was personally supervising the field, most of the loot fell into his pocket.
This time, Xiaofei and Peggy were the main attackers.
Matthew didn't mention the distribution of the spoils at all. Unexpectedly, Xiao Bo was interested and directly handed over the items as they were.
This made Matthew feel so happy that he couldn't help but touch Philolius a few more times.
The latter immediately let out a cry of joy.
"If you can hand it in like Xiaofei..."
Matthew turned his head as he spoke, only to find that Peggy was nowhere to be seen.
He couldn't help but smile dumbly.
He actually didn't care about Peggy or Xiao Fei hiding some treasures secretly.
He also knows that Peggy can't hide much, so he won't argue with her.
Even on some levels.
Matthew also secretly encourages this behavior!
Now.
He directly carved out a tenth from the pile of gold in front of him and gave it to Xiao Fei as a reward.
The latter accepted it happily.
Matthew naturally pocketed all the remaining items.
Have to admit it.
War and plunder are indeed the fastest ways to make money, and there is almost no other way!
He attacked the sampan plane and has only captured Tyrannosaurus Town and Crescent Mountain so far.
And the wealth he gained from these two cities, converted into alliance gold coins, has exceeded eight million!
Among them, there are more than one million in alliance gold coins in cash.
There are approximately 1.2 million astral gold balls left, equivalent to 1.2 million alliance gold coins - this is one of the hard currencies of the astral forces.
The total of other gems, blueprints, materials, equipment, props and various supplies is approaching the six million mark.
This does not include the real estate in Tyrannosaurus Town and Crescent Mountain!
certainly.
Whether a house or other real estate is still valuable in a place swept by the undead disaster is a matter of debate.
But even so.
Matthew's harvest is amazing enough.
Of course, this excess return is also based on the Necromancer’s few highlight moments——
The soldiers recruited by the Undead Scourge do not need rations or wages, and they completely obey Matthew's instructions.
This is a subordinate that other mages would not envy.
If we use other methods to complete this war, the benefits may not be that great, and we may even lose money if it goes slightly wrong!
And among the various gains in these two cities.
What makes Matthew most gratified is the successful seizure of a large amount of standard equipment.
Regardless of the attributes of these standard equipment taken individually, they are very inconspicuous.
But the improvement of a single undead bit by bit, combined together, is a huge blessing for the undead army!
Matthew had had headaches with his younger brothers' equipment before.
And this battle is over.
It's impossible for him to be short of equipment.
Even better.
The equipment captured from these two towns was a perfect fit for Matthew's undead.
after all.
Many of them were their equipment during their lifetime...
Matthew spent some time cleaning up the trophies collected by Xiao Fei and others.
after awhile.
Peggy reappeared as if nothing had happened:
"Matthew, Matthew, I called Miaosaki over, should we continue to build the cemetery?"
Matthew shook his head:
"No, no more repairs. Send a few immortal thunderbirds to follow the escapees to confirm how many of them have entered the City of Night Angel."
"Keep an eye on the last group of people leaving Crescent Mountain."
"The undead army will be dispatched soon, let's follow them!"
Said.
He looked at Vasnov who had been hanging up next to him:
"did you find it?"
The latter nodded slightly:
"found it."
"Before taking action, you must become more proficient in the Sea Elf Meditation Technique."
"We only have one chance. When he reacts, we have to evacuate, otherwise we may be in danger."
Matthew asked with some confusion:
"In the space of evil thoughts, can he really do anything to us?"
Vasnov shook his head:
"Normally, there's nothing he can do against us."
"But if he goes crazy, he may still exile himself to the void world with us."
"You don't want to go see the Lord of the Void now, do you?"
"I don't want to either."
"So let's just take a bite, um, a small bite."
Matthew nodded.
Soon after.
The canopy of death slowly moved away from Crescent Mountain.
The tireless immortal army also headed east along the road.
"Why are you so eager to attack all of a sudden?"
"I thought you would calm down for a while."
On the way, Peggy asked puzzledly.
Matthew smiled silently:
"There aren't many corpses in Crescent Mountain at all, so there's no need for sedimentation."
"When I let them go on purpose, I made the plan I have now."
"Before, I set up a star gate at the intersection to ask them to leave, but it's a pity that they didn't appreciate it."
"Since you have rejected the kindness of the Necromancer."
"Then we can only ask them to taste the cruelty of the Necromancer."
During the conversation.
The death canopy and the undead army gradually formed a line.
There was darkness between heaven and earth.
The projections of the two gods of death overlook this plane as if the apocalypse is coming.
In the air filled with terrible chilling air and ripples of negative energy.
Even the grass and trees on the roadside quickly withered and emitted a low mournful sound.
…
City of Night Angels.
Midnight Cathedral, top of the Sacred Tower.
Archbishop and city lord Underwood was sitting on the holy throne with a serious face.
As one of only four archbishops in the Church of the Midnight God, Underwood has unequivocal supreme power in the city.
now.
There were no other clergy of the Midnight God in the hall in front of the Holy See.
Instead, there were two warlocks from the Scourge Cult.
"Mr. Tyrone, at this point you tell me you want to leave?"
"Isn't that a little too irresponsible?"
Underwood scolded the blond man in front of him in a very rude tone.
The blond man named Tai Long smiled calmly:
"This is Lance's territory, not mine."
"I just came here to see if I could help, but looking at it now, what I can do is very limited. It's better to take advantage of the passage from the sampan plane to the main material world to be in effect and quickly return to the material world.
I have my mission to complete, and it will not be that easy to cross the border illegally in the future."
Underwood snorted loudly again:
"Did you expect us to fail?"
Tailong smiled humbly:
"No, I just don't want to bet."
"The Lord of the Void will bless you."
As he spoke, his figure slowly disappeared, leaving only a shadow twisting in place.
Underwood looked at the warlock Lance next to him with some dissatisfaction:
"Are you going to let him go now?"
"Aren't you afraid that he is going to draw wages from the bottom of the cauldron?"
Lance shrugged indifferently:
"If he really has that kind of courage, maybe there really is hope for the Calamity Cult."
"After all, he is the number one figure in our Calamity Cult. How can I, a marginalized person, dare to point fingers at him?"
"And having said that, when Tai Lung left just now, didn't you stop him?"
Underwood was silent for a moment, then said:
"I just received news that Matthew took Crescent Mountain and the evil spirit lord Hodges fled without a fight."
"That kid exceeded our expectations. His strength is amazing."
Mention Matthew.
Lance also rarely put on a serious expression:
"Yes, I know he has a fireball thrower under his command. That guy is quite powerful."
"There is also a false god. I suspect he is Vasnov, or is related to him..."
Underwood suddenly became energetic:
"Are you sure you are the God of War?"
"I remember that Vasnov had an excellent relationship with the god (the god of midnight), and they were even called brothers."
"If it is confirmed that it is him, I may be able to ask God to send down a projection at the appropriate time and convince Vasnov to betray him..."
Langsun suddenly had a strange look on his face:
"Judging from historical experience, the brothers of the God of War will not end well."
Underwood looked sulky.
However, he thought about it and changed his words:
"What you said makes sense. We can't place our hopes on instigating the enemy's subordinates to rebel."
"What did the Thousand Transformer brat say?"
Lance replied:
"He said he was ready, but as before, he could only do it in the star realm."
"If we can't lead Matthew to the star realm, then there's nothing he can do."
Underwood shook his head slowly:
"Matthew's behavior is difficult to fathom. It's not easy to lure him to the star realm."
"And he has a guardian angel on his body. I don't believe that the Thousand Changer kid can kill him."
Lance snorted softly:
"If it weren't for the patron saint, I would have killed him long ago."
Underwood sneered:
"Still using your old methods?"
"First turn the enemy into a woman, and then win in three ways?"
Lance raised his head proudly:
"if not?"
"This is my way of survival. As long as a person is pregnant with my child, he will obey me."
Speaking of which.
He sighed with some helplessness:
"Even if he is a man, I can still get him pregnant."
"It's a pity that damn Evil Queen Babasha actually used my method first. The other party will definitely take precautions against it, and after being fucked once, his body will also develop immunity. This method is inherently dangerous.
If you are not careful, you will be dragged into the battle of the field..."
"Speaking of which, that kid has a lot of strange domains. There is a tauren domain whose origin I don't know. It's very strange!"
Underwood also nodded with emotion:
"He is indeed a weirdo."
"Let's take it one step at a time. First solve the current natural disaster of the undead, and then find a way to banish him to the star realm."
"As long as he enters the star realm, I don't know how many people can easily kill him!"
Lance narrowed his eyes:
"Have you found a way to deal with the undead natural disaster?"
Underwood said calmly:
"It's just a bunch of skeletons, not worth mentioning at all."
Said.
He suddenly stretched out his right hand, and there was a blue irregular faceted crystal on the white palm.
Lance's pupils shrank:
"A fragment of the godhead of the Lord of Storms and Seas?"
"The god-level enchantment of the Eye of the Ocean?"
"You want to create a world-destroying tsunami in the sampan plane?"
"Are you crazy?"
"Of course the tsunami can destroy the undead, but what about our own people in this city?"
Archbishop Underwood nodded slightly, showing a trace of compassion, but his tone was extremely firm:
"God will bless them."
"Furthermore, I heard that the Kingdom of God is also in short supply of people recently..."
Come to the last sentence.
Underwood couldn't help but grin, his expression seemed a little mocking or cruel, but from another perspective, it looked holy and pious.
