Chapter 417 Victory in the first battle! Eisner’s plan!
…
"Broken Moon"!
But seeing Matthew wielding the shovel extremely skillfully, under the rising and falling cold light, Osedro didn't have time to react, and the sharp weapon had already cut his neck!
puff!
The shovel cut open Osedro's chest like a piece of clay, and then crushed his heart with incomparable precision!
that moment.
A large amount of blood rushed to Matthew's body and face.
He could feel the violent and manic aura coming out of the Abyss Mage's body.
But it only lasted a few seconds.
Those breaths disappeared—
Because Matthew had already cut Osedro into pieces with a shovel!
…
"Tip: You successfully killed the legendary abyss mage Ocedro, which had the following far-reaching effects——
The morale of the Abyss army dropped sharply.
The Abyss Army's Saint Weapon Forging Ceremony was destroyed by you, and there may be a backlash later.
Demon Lord Eisner's hatred towards you +10!
The battle of fame: As a necromancer, you defeated the enemy in a way that is inconceivable to ordinary people, and killed the legendary mage Ocedro, the commander-in-chief of the abyss army.
The legend of you and "Blade of Fenghua" A Bing is +3 (Abyss -> World)!
In this battle for fame, you have gained a total of 5 points of world legend!
You gain the new ability "Maximize Spells".
World legend beyond three points will provide a stronger upper limit for your spell effectiveness and an additional charm bonus for yourself!
Tauren Authority: If you kill a unit that owns a domain, you can invade the main domain he owns. Please choose one of the following three domains as the invasion target——
abyss
ether
wisdom
You chose the "abyss" and successfully took it for yourself!
With the Abyss Realm open, you will get the following effects——
The damage dealt to you by abyssal creatures is reduced by 35%.
When you walk in the Abyss, you are not punished by the will of the Abyss for coming from other planes.
When you walk in the main material world or other planes, you may be targeted by the main material world or other planes.
All creatures within the domain's influence are more likely to become violent, including you.
You will have stronger adaptability. In particular, within the abyss, your resistance to acid rot, plague, and poison will increase at a significantly faster rate.
You can recruit a group of demons whose number does not exceed 2,000 and whose individual level does not exceed level 16, and form your own abyss army. They will obey your orders unconditionally.
You can transform into a regular demon without being discovered (customizable gender, height, size...)"
…
Matthew just glanced at the data column.
Then he withdrew his gaze.
It is not difficult for him to choose one of the three fields -
Both ether and wisdom are quite advanced fields. How much accomplishments can Ocedro, a demon mage, have in this field?
It is better to choose one that the other party is familiar with.
The result was pretty much what Matthew expected——
Osedro's exploration of the abyss is at the level of a veteran.
Matthew got a big deal!
Don't say anything else.
35% damage reduction is already abnormal!
"Fortunately, Osedro couldn't open the field at the critical moment, otherwise it might have been a while!"
Matthew glanced at the demon army that was rushing towards this place, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Legendary mages are also mages.
As long as you are a mage.
If you insist on eating a magic invalid barrier, your life will be in danger!
That's not to say that mages don't have the ability to protect themselves other than spells.
It's because the spell is so easy to use.
At critical moments, conditioned reflexes will use spells, and then in the silence of the ineffective spell barrier, they will despair and find that they are doing useless work, and then the collapse of their mentality and the annihilation of their bodies will happen at almost the same moment.
In fact.
A well-trained legendary mage would not be killed by Matthew in one fell swoop like Osedro.
For example, in the Seven Saints Alliance.
Most legendary mages have a plan for dealing with spell-nullifying wards.
Except for "spell ability", creating unaffected "divine spells", "spell-like", "simulating divine spells" and other opportunistic methods.
The most common way to deal with it is to open the field!
As we all know.
No matter what the field, big or small, deep or shallow.
At the moment when the field opens.
There will be an inescapable force of resistance.
This resistance is often the key to the game between the legendary mage and the legendary rogue.
Even when the top legendary mages are banned, they will calmly predict the trajectory of the rogue and escape through the realm.
certainly.
The more top-level rogues can even use their body skills to deceive the legendary mage the moment he opens his realm.
Then use this opportunity to successfully kill the mage in the field!
anyway.
This kind of game always comes and goes.
It is relatively rare for someone like Osedro to die so simply.
The reason.
Or because Matthew played at home and got a big advantage——
Ocedro, like other demons, was punished by the will of the material plane.
His domain was suppressed.
It's not that it can't be opened.
The opening speed is several seconds slower than usual!
This is also the reason why he was reluctant to show up before.
The other party is already careful enough.
pity.
"I still found a flaw..."
Between thoughts.
A small silver-blue light point suddenly flew up from Osedro's body.
That light spot faded very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, he would be 100 meters away.
However, Matthew lingered on leaving after killing the people. He was waiting for this moment——
"Ability: Soul Cage"!
Whoosh.
The light spot went away and came back again, directly being firmly grasped by Matthew in the palm of his hand!
Use it as the base point.
Between Matthew's demiplane and the material world, a void space appeared.
Osedro's soul is suddenly imprisoned in this space!
"No--!"
Osedro's soul wailed pitifully.
However, in an instant he cursed loudly:
"You captured me, and you can't escape!"
Matthew heard it clearly.
He glanced at the demons that were approaching quickly.
Then the ability "Above the Dragon" was activated!
call!
In silence.
The intimidating power beyond the dragon's power frightens the demons who come to rescue.
Everyone felt that their feet were weak, some were kneeling on the ground, and some even stepped back.
A few seconds later.
A dark figure quickly formed next to Matthew.
That was A Bing who had just been exiled to the abyss!
Naturally, ordinary people cannot leave and come back so quickly.
But as a glorious blade with legendary resistance, Ah Bing is no longer what he used to be.
Want to trap it in the abyss with a banishment spell.
At least it needs legendary spells!
The spell trap Osedro just cast obviously cannot achieve this power.
next moment.
In full view of the demons.
Matthew waved to A Bing:
"Take a ride."
Undead Fusion Technique!
The two became one in an instant.
Immediately afterwards.
After merging, Matthew picked up Osedro's body and disappeared from the place with a pop.
film!
film!
film!
On the battlefield.
Matthew kept jumping between shadows, and soon he returned to the cemetery again!
At this time, many demons had climbed to the lowest level of the cemetery.
Ali is leading the elite undead to expel them.
Matthew emerged from A Bing's body.
Then he hugged Osedro's body and ran to the top floor without looking back.
Not long after.
Matthew carried the body into the small dark room in a hurry.
outside the house.
Sif, whose expression had just improved, became a little dazed in this familiar scene.
in the room.
Matthew soaked Ocedro's body in a jar filled with dark oil.
Then a simple seal was carried out.
after that.
He took out a large handful of mind-stealing stones as consumables for the soul cage!
…
"Tip: You have consumed several Heart Stones. Please choose the specific operation to be performed on the imprisoned soul "Osedro"——
steal experience
steal life
insult of will
"Soul Torture"
…
Matthew did not make the choice alone.
Instead, check all the options——
"I want them all!"
Ever since.
In the soul cage built by negative energy.
The wails of the once legendary mage of the abyss continued endlessly.
Matthew went out and called for the Banshee King Synphora.
Let her help torture Osedro's soul.
He started to deal with the remaining matters.
In order to assassinate Ocedro, Matthew had previously opened the cemetery to the head of the first echelon of the demon army.
And the ground clearance is only about 20 meters.
Although most demons cannot fly, their jumping abilities are amazing.
Matthew's speed at killing Osaide Road was already very fast, and it could be said that it was a matter of time before the number of demons that jumped to the bottom of the cemetery exceeded 3,000!
Only half of them are Brazu demons, and the remaining half are the great demon governors of the three legions and the personal guards they lead!
The negative energy barrier in the cemetery only resisted for a short time before being shattered.
Then they burned, killed and smashed people in the cemetery.
Fortunately, Ali had anticipated this and had taken a series of resistance measures. Currently, the demons were effectively suppressed on the bottom and second-to-last floors, and did not allow them to attack higher places.
"They are destroying the negative energy power furnace!"
Seeing Matthew coming out of the small dark room, Ali immediately floated over to report.
Matthew nodded:
"Raise height."
Ali reminded:
"The energy reserve of the power furnace is insufficient. After this upgrade, I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain hovering. We will have to find a place to land."
Matthew thought for a while:
"Return to the original position and land."
"Give me the whip."
"I'll deal with these demons!"
Ali was ordered to control the cemetery.
Not long after.
The cemetery slowly rose, and amid the curses of a lot of demons on the ground, the mountain began to get farther and farther away from them.
Many demons jumped up like crazy, trying to seize this last chance, but unfortunately only a few successfully landed.
Most of the demons attracted to the cemetery could only stand on the ground and stare.
Above the cemetery.
Matthew held the cemetery weapon "Ursul's Scourge" and walked down the steps step by step.
He is the master of the cemetery.
This cemetery weapon can only be most effective in the hands of the owner of the cemetery!
But I saw Matthew leisurely waving the whip in his hand.
Every swing.
They all seemed to have traveled through time and space and appeared directly next to the demons at the bottom!
Bang bang bang!
The long whip burning with death fire stretched 50 meters in one breath, tied up all the nearby demons, and then pulled it down hard!
"ah……!"
There were screams in the air.
Those demons who stayed where they were and were glaring at their failure to reach the cemetery just now looked at their companions who fell above their heads in amazement——
Puff puff!
A dozen demons fell into the crowd and fell to the ground, knocking over a large area.
A few seconds later.
More than a dozen demons fell from the edge of the mountain.
Their situation is even more serious than that of the First Devil, because the cemetery mountain is constantly rising!
that's all.
Every time Matthew swung his whip, he could send away a large number of demons who came to the cemetery.
Further back.
The demon that is thrown down has a higher mortality rate.
Some smart demons sensed something was wrong and took the initiative to jump down.
Matthew didn't stop this.
soon.
The other demons followed suit.
Ten minutes later.
With the efforts of Matthew and other undead, the cemetery barrier was restored, and all invading demons were either sent to the ground or into the undead transformation pool.
Cemetery.
Tranquility restored!
"It's time to reverse the situation on the battlefield."
Matthew stood at the edge of the lowest level of the cemetery, overlooking the chaotic battlefield below——
A large number of Brezu demons were trapped in the trench zone, and the cannon fodder army led by Argus was retreating steadily.
If Sif's hell flames hadn't blocked the path of the cavalry demons, the frontal battlefield would have been beaten to pieces!
And on the flanks.
Lyric led his troops to attack the west side of the Second Army. This move attracted a lot of firepower to the frontal battlefield.
Matthew observed that the Second Legion was mobilizing its forces to concentrate on destroying the skeleton swordsmen and axemen who were cutting in from the flanks.
Li Rick is fighting and retreating, and it seems fine for now, but if time goes on, when the regrouped cavalry demons come around from the Flowing Fire Sky Curtain, they may very well face great risks.
Part of the Fourth Army on the right also started fighting with the forces stationed in the forest.
The demons' attack was fierce.
They rushed up against the slings guarded by the oak trees.
At present, some demons have entered the woods.
The centaurs can also only fight and retreat - except for the forest guards, the Sanctuary of Life lacks units that can face the demon army head-on.
Fortunately, the woods themselves are the best barrier.
While the demons were being targeted by the will of the material plane, they no longer dared to rashly enter a ritual venue of this level like the Sanctuary of Life.
So most of the demons are following the edge of the woods.
They dare not go too deep.
But even so.
When many demons pass by, they will kick two trees on the way before walking away!
Matthew has a panoramic view of these scenes.
The Fourth Army Corps wanted to cut off the connection between the woods and the front battlefield, and also tried to see if it was possible to follow this road around to the back of the cemetery.
They shouldn't be crazy enough to attack the walls of Rolling Stone City directly.
The course of action of the Second Army also indicated similar strategic intentions.
Only the third legion in the center was first blocked by the flames of hell, and then most of its energy was restrained by the cemetery and Xiao Fei. Now it looks extremely chaotic.
"Second, the actions of the Fourth Army are obviously still in accordance with Osedro's plan."
"They probably don't know about Ocedro's death yet!"
"The Third Legion is in such chaos, and a few demons among them are the only ones who know about it!"
A smile appeared on Matthew's lips.
It happened to be at this time.
Matthew's heart also sounded a cry for help from Xiao Fei:
"Owner?"
"We agreed to fight together, why did you run away?"
"I'm still getting beaten!"
Matthew looked down.
On the frontal battlefield, since they lost their main target, the cemetery, the demons of the Third Legion vented all their anger on Xiao Fei, who was alone.
The latter has now activated the magic of defending rather than attacking.
But even so.
He also looked bruised and swollen——
The demons have also learned a lot.
Buckets of strange mucus were poured onto Xiao Boi's body. Although they were not as corrosive as Eisner's brain, they also caused some damage to Philolius' metal armor.
Looking at the situation.
Xiao Fei was indeed beaten badly.
"Be prepared to fight back..."
Matthew said this from the bottom of his heart.
Then he took out Ocedro's body from the small dark room, not caring about the dark oil scattered on the floor.
Matthew directly grabbed the corpse and used the legendary flying technique to quickly fly over the battlefield.
"Stupid demons, your coach Oceedro has been killed by me."
"All violators will face the same fate as him!"
"Don't think that death is the end. Your bodies and souls will be enslaved by me, and you will be my slaves forever!"
While Matthew was saying harsh words, he was also beating Ocedro's body with Ursu's scolding.
at the same time.
He also asked the Banshee Queen to transmit some miserable scenes of Otsedro's soul facing torture.
Matthew used magic to project these images over the heads of the demonic army.
It immediately caused a large-scale uproar!
Several great demon warlords jumped out:
"He's lying!"
"It is impossible for the Abyss Sage to die in his hands!"
Matthew ignored these guys at all.
He carefully flew over the heads of the demon army, clearly displaying Osedro's body in front of them.
at the same time.
Fenghua Blade, who was instructed by Matthew, also took action.
A Bing focused on the big demon warlords who jumped out to refute the rumors.
A few minutes later.
Those demons lost the chance to hold up the scene.
Because their heads have quietly fallen to the ground in the chaos!
In fact.
Even if no soldiers take action.
The information about Osedro's death cannot be concealed either.
All demons can sense the subtle changes in the ritual site of forging holy weapons.
They can clearly feel that they are getting weaker.
And the source of all this.
It can only be the coach’s fault!
What's more, Matthew just carried Osedro's body and soared above them.
Except for a few abyss mages who were brave but were quickly dealt with.
Osedro himself did not come out to refute the other party's statement.
This explains everything!
The morale of the demon army quickly became extremely low.
Let’s not talk about the backlash at the Saint Weapon Forging Ceremony Ground.
One of the shortcomings of Osedro's long-term love of micromanagement is that without his control, the formation of the demon army will lose its order.
Under normal circumstances.
It is impossible for the army of the Abyss to be arranged in such an orderly and dense manner.
When Osedro was around, this was not a problem, but an advantage.
But once Osedro dies.
When chaos begins to break out.
The hidden dangers of the demon army's dense phalanx quickly erupted——
Demoralized and confused, the demons began to blame each other.
Some people want to ask for a certificate, some want to leave the battlefield temporarily, and some want to continue attacking the cemetery!
There are clear divisions within the three major legions of the first echelon——
The manic Brazumo only knows to continue the coach's previous instructions and continuously launch attacks;
The Great Demon Group, headed by the Great Demon Overseer, wants to maintain order, control the situation, and then take over the power void left by Ocedro's death;
And the cavalry demon...
They have already run back to the second echelon under the leadership of the Gemini Cavalry Demon!
"Escape so quickly!"
Matthew was slightly surprised. These two brothers sensed crises very well and could always get out of danger!
But in this situation.
Naturally, Matthew couldn't target such an individual who was good at adapting to the changing circumstances.
Now.
He began to mobilize his troops to take advantage of the chaos to counterattack——
On the west wing, all the magic ships of the Southern Wizard Legion were activated, and the two skeleton swordsmen and axemen brigades originally used by Li Rick as backup were also pressed forward.
The Brezu demons were trapped in the frontal battlefield, and all the cavalry demons had fled. Only some big demons and other demons in the second legion were still fighting stubbornly.
However, Li Rick charged forward and killed several times.
After a few rounds.
The remaining demons of the second legion also broke up and fled.
The devil in the east wing is even more embarrassed.
They were originally going to go behind, but who knew that their coach would be gone instead!
The moment Matthew ordered the counterattack.
Rhaegar's fire bat soldiers and cavalry were already eyeing them.
Regardless of Matthew's reluctance to let them join the battlefield, the main reason is because each of Rhaegar's soldiers is very precious and not as cheap and durable as his own undead.
It's really a fight.
The combat effectiveness of Fire Bat Soldiers and Hell Cavalry is extremely amazing.
They cooperated with the forest guards and centaurs who rushed out of the woods. Not long after, these more than 3,000 demons were killed and stripped of their armor.
Seeing that something was wrong, many demons began to flee towards the north.
However, this situation is what the cavalry is most happy to see.
They chased them all the way along the edge of the forest and achieved a lot of results!
As for the frontal battlefield.
Xiaofei, who had been beaten for a long time, sounded the clarion call for counterattack with a powerful counterattack.
Matthew personally led the entire army of cemetery elites to press forward.
Not long after.
They then wiped out a large number of Brazu demons and some demons that failed to withdraw from the battlefield in time.
"call!"
Where Matthew and Xiao Fei passed by, demon corpses were lying on the ground.
The dragon of twilight energy followed behind, blowing out fan-shaped breath from time to time.
Not long after.
In the area hit by the breath, the demons stumbled up again.
Not long after they got up, they were pulled into the team by Argus who was busy catching young men——
His cannon fodder troops were almost exhausted in the battle with the Brezu Demons.
But that's okay.
The finishing work has not yet been completed.
The newly added cannon fodder has already been put in place.
When the Dragon of Twilight turns all the corpses into cannon fodder undead, Argus's troops will be several times stronger than before!
that's all.
On the battlefield filled with ice, flames and negative energy, the sound of fighting gradually became quiet.
Matthew stood in mid-air one kilometer north of the trench zone and looked north.
The second and third echelons of the Abyss Army have now retreated to the ruins of the North Trading Post.
And in this withdrawal.
There are a lot of demons whose lives are on the line.
As if the souls of the dead were wailing and crying, a thick fog slowly rose from the battlefield.
Heavy fog separated the cemetery and the abyss army on both sides.
Everything returned to silence.
Matthew looked at the corpse-strewn front and let out a slow sigh of relief.
He knew that the Abyss Army would never give up.
But no matter what.
He at least took the first step to protect Rolling Stone City
Victory in the first battle!
…
Dark night falls.
In the prison of the soul.
Ocedrolo is still begging:
"Stop it, stop it!"
"I am willing to cooperate with all your actions!"
"Please, let me go!"
not far away.
Matthew waved his hand to stop the Banshee King's torture.
"I actually don't want to torture you."
"I have no objection to you personally."
"It's just that a friend of mine told me that you Abyss mages have a trick of escaping the golden cicada's shell. Even if the soul is imprisoned, there is still a chance to escape."
"And the only way to prevent this from happening is constant whipping, am I right?"
Osedro's breath caught.
Then he said with great difficulty:
"That kind of spell does exist in the abyss, but my soul is not strong enough to do it."
"You should be able to feel that I am very weak now. It is difficult to even maintain my soul form, let alone escape!"
"You won't do anything to help the war by torturing me or killing me."
"In the abyss, the will of the mother body is above all else. The mother body of the abyss allows us to attack Rolling Stone City. Even if I die, the demons will choose a new leader to take my place and continue to invade your territory."
"On the contrary, as long as I live, I can provide you with information from the abyss."
"You are a smart person, and I am not stupid. We are both mages. I know how to survive. Trust me, I will not be stupid."
He looked at Matthew with pleading eyes.
Matthew was unmoved.
He signaled to Synphora to whip Osedro.
Then he spoke:
"You have no bargaining chips with me."
"I only ask my question once."
"If you don't answer, you die!"
"Now, I wonder what Eisner's real goal is?"
Matthew's eyes were as bright as a hawk, locked on Osedro's spirit body like a hawk.
Ocedro replied in a low voice:
"Rolling Stone City, Deep Blue Harbor, Gem Bay, Lion City...and some city-states in the north."
Matthew sneered:
"That's not what I asked. You just said that I am a smart person, but you are not stupid either -
Then you are just pretending to be crazy.
I'll give you one last chance -
What is Eisner’s true goal!?”
He didn't believe that Abyss Lord Eisnar was a complete madman.
In the context of the high probability that the magicians will return in a month.
Not only did the other party let out all the demons he had mastered, but he also landed in the material world in his true form——
This is a heavy price to pay.
There must be strategic goals behind it that are worthy enough to match it.
These days.
Matthew has been wondering about this.
He hopes to get the answer from Osedro.
Osedro was silent for a long time.
Half a moment.
"Say it directly and I will die."
He said in a very determined tone:
"I can only tell you that he does have a goal that he is very eager to achieve..."
"Although his body is divided into 100 million parts, most of them are just tricks to hide from others."
"His true body went to a place, a place I didn't mention just now..."
