Chapter five hundred and fiftieth seven people go to the empty building
Although flying eagle communication is no longer a cherished secret, many territories have even developed their own flying pigeons and flying crows for communication, but the popularity rate is still not very high. It is so widely used and intensively used by the Yongye Army.
The tall one is still the only one with no semicolon.
At this time, Sean's aerial reconnaissance artifact, the Thundering Golden Eagle, had automatically navigated to the energy clone by locating it.
Sean threw the soul weapon that had returned to a stick shape into the hands of Marshal Ericson, and controlled the Thundering Golden Eagle to go straight to the lair of the Pokeran Tribe.
During this process, it is important to take a spin in the air to see how bad the situation has deteriorated.
What he saw as a result moved Sean greatly.
Because what he saw was not only the terror of the Skeleton Knight, but also the persistence of the soldiers led by the Yongye Army.
Even when faced with nearly immortal enemies several times his own, he still showed no fear and relied on the favorable terrain to carry out a tenacious resistance.
The reason they did this was, of course, to gain more reaction time for the military leader, even if it cost them their own blood and lives.
Sean couldn't help but slow down his flying speed and lower the flying altitude. He circled several times on every stubborn battlefield to let the Yongye soldiers below see him. In this way, he told them that they would use their lives to send them out.
The military leader has received the news.
As expected, waves of excited shouts came from below.
"Squadron Commander, Squadron Leader Rex, look, look, look in the sky, it's the Thundering Golden Eagle, it's the Thundering Golden Eagle, the lord is here, the lord is here, the military headquarters and military leaders have received our news
Well, the blood of our brothers was not shed in vain... Wuwu..."
"Why are you crying? We have fulfilled our responsibilities and successfully completed the mission. This is something to be happy about." Squadron Leader Rex scolded with a sullen face.
The squadron leader who was the first to confront the Skeleton Knight looked a bit embarrassed now, with his chest, thighs, shoulders, and head all covered with bandages.
Since there was no time to change it, the white bandage had already been stained black and red by blood and dust, and the war horse under his crotch had been replaced.
But he was in good spirits, his eyes were shining brightly, and there was no trace of fatigue at all. This was the last gift left to him by the heroic spirit possessor. He fought fiercely, but he kept sparing the mana pool of the ultimate combat skill.
It has been depleted and is in a slow cooling state. Other combat skills have also been taught, and now they can only rely on combat skills to fight.
Not only is he in this state, other Evernight soldiers are also in a similar state.
It was only then that I realized for myself how big the difference was. I couldn’t say it between heaven and earth. The disparity was absolutely huge.
If he still dared to charge into the battle at this time, even if the number of soldiers gathered behind him increased instead of decreasing, there would already be a centurion, let alone the centurion that would pierce through the skeleton knights. It would be good to guarantee that half of them would survive.
As for the soldiers gathered behind them, there were very few familiar faces, and most of them were unfamiliar faces, coming from other sentry squadrons led by the Yongye Army.
Because the attack launched by the Klein tribe was too sudden, there were very few that could escape with a relatively intact structure like the Blade Squadron, and most of them were disabled.
There were squadron leaders and deputy squadron leaders who ran out alone, as well as scattered sentinel soldiers who ran out alone. Their captain and squadron leader died heroically in the process of covering their retreat. The tragedy was even said to be tragic.
When I woke up, there was a strong smell of blood in my mouth.
The great knight who activates the ultimate combat skill, even among the skeleton knights, is temporarily invincible. If they escape alone, no one can stop them. In this case, they will still be damaged, and there is only one possibility.
That is, they were unwilling to give up their subordinates and repeatedly charged into battle to rescue them. As a result, they exhausted the mana pool of their ultimate combat skills and died fighting.
Regardless of the squadron leader and deputy squadron leader who lost their soldiers, or the soldiers who lost their own squadron leader and deputy squadron leader, they are all like lonely ghosts, a little lost. Compared with the Blade Squadron, which has relatively complete organizational preservation.
When they bump into each other, they will take the lead, consciously or unconsciously.
"I'm not sad, I'm happy!" the soldier replied wiping his tears.
"Cheer up and don't embarrass our sentry. The lord is still watching from the sky!" Although Captain Rex kept a sullen face, his tone was not exactly harsh.
After all, every one of them in front of them is a tough man. Even if they are bleeding profusely, they will not groan. Their tears are not shed for themselves, but for those comrades who did not make it out alive.
flow.
Ever since Sean's thundering golden eagle appeared, Squadron Leader Rex had been watching it closely, and he breathed a long sigh of relief after watching it leave.
The soldier next to him just asked: "Squadron Captain, what did the lord say?"
Sean's circling just now was obviously not as simple as appeasing the soldiers' morale.
The air organization of Yongye Army is taking shape, and its current positioning is aerial reconnaissance, and then coordinates with ground forces for advancement.
On the battlefield, the air force had no way of rushing down to deliver information, so the Yongye Army compiled a set of flight terminology and used this terminology to deliver information to ground troops.
Although the air force has not yet been established, the middle and lower-level officers in the Yongye Army have begun to learn it widely. Captain Rex is undoubtedly one of the officers who is proficient in this art.
Squadron Leader Rex showed a hint of joy on his face and said: "Your Excellency, Marshal, you have been ordered to lead the two main legions to attack. Let us lure them into the encirclement."
"This order is a bit too general. Where exactly will the Marshal's main army be ambushed? Where should we lure them?" Banek, the deputy squadron leader of the Blade Squadron, frowned and asked.
His appearance was not much better than that of Squadron Leader Rex, and one of his arms was even abnormally twisted.
As the ultimate skill known for its defense, the Absolute Barrier defense ability is demonic and can even provide shelter for many people, but its consumption speed is obviously higher than that of the heroic spirit possession. It does not take two conflicts to completely deplete the mana pool, which is somewhat obvious.
It's a little hard to use.
When you return to Brother Port and fill out the feedback form on the use of combat skills, be sure to reflect this point and see if there is any way to strengthen the duration of the absolute barrier, even if it reduces the defense a little.
After all, their reaction ability is there. When encountering danger, their bodies will instinctively avoid it. The main threats are those unprepared stray arrows and fatal impacts.
It is enough to weaken their lethality to a certain extent. There is no need to completely defend them. After all, they still have armor on them!
"Don't worry, we are just a surprise. Your Majesty the Marshal will definitely send forward sentries to detect the sentry. We only need to guide them in the direction of Brother Port. We will definitely hit them and they will take over when the time comes." Captain Rex did not think so.
They were worried about others. Judging from the hurried appearance of the Thundering Golden Eagle, it was definitely not specifically for them. This encounter just happened to happen. The real purpose should be to investigate the Black Mist Area, the origin of the Klein tribe.
"I'm worrying too much." Deputy Squadron Leader Banak couldn't help laughing. His own marshal is known for his meticulousness, and he will definitely not take these unstable factors into consideration. It sounds cruel to say it, but this is what a commander-in-chief has to do. responsibility.
When formulating the strategic plan, Marshal Ericson may have regarded them as if they were all killed in action.
"Counting the time, those lingering guys will catch up soon. Come on, let's take them for two more rounds. The more time you have, Marshal, the better prepared you will be." Captain Rex said. He asked the soldier behind him, "Can you still hold on?"
"no problem."
"It's a joke!"
"It's okay to do another ten or eight laps."
All the soldiers answered in unison. Although their bodies were exhausted, their spirits were extremely high.
"Let's go." Captain Rex nodded with satisfaction and rushed out at the lead.
Prepare to take the Skeleton Knight following them around for another round. These guys may have improved their tactics a lot, but many problems were still exposed during the pursuit and escape.
Their tactics are very stiff and rigid, just like the combat techniques that have just been popularized by the Yongye Army. Some parts lack flexibility, which shows that there are still big problems with their wisdom. There is definitely an element of trickery in it, which makes it impossible for them to do it. Normal people think.
Coupled with the purpose of killing them all, it becomes very easy to seduce.
If three or five people are sent up, they will be indifferent, but if a squadron is sent up, they will definitely insist on it, and they have no ability to distinguish the enemy's number.
After discovering this, they can adopt the dog-walking tactic, with several squadrons cooperating to lead them away in stages to buy time for others to rest and recover their combat skills.
As a result, the Skeleton Knight's advance was slower than initially expected, but the surging infantry and sentries were unable to do anything. Their numbers were a fatal flaw.
After this unexpected episode, the Thundering Golden Eagle operated by Sean did not stop and went straight to the core area of the Klein tribe in his memory.
But I didn't expect it to be empty. The black fog area that had been shrouded here all year round disappeared, leaving only a bottomless cone-shaped pit.
Only the rich death spell energy here proves that this was once the core area of the black mist area.
To be more precise, the large cone-shaped pit with a diameter of no less than a hundred meters when viewed from the air is the main culprit of the Klein tribe's transformation into undead.
This large conical pit is not naturally formed. There are obvious traces of human excavation around it. It is like a mine pit, spiral-shaped and going deep. Judging from the accumulated soil around it, the Klein tribe has already dug this conical pit. It has not been a year or two. It is very likely that it was already underway before the Jacob River resumed its flow.
The reflow of the Jacob River, sudden weather changes and reduced rainfall in the Despair Swamp provided considerable convenience for their excavation.
Sean did not rush deep into the cone-shaped pit, but carefully investigated the surrounding area.
As a result, the building was empty of people. Not only had the black fog zone left, but no undead soldiers were left either. They were either flocking to Brother Port or following the black fog zone and left. All that was left was silence.
Death Spell Energy definitely deserves its name.
After wandering around for several times, Sean just couldn't find a single living thing, including plants, in this area that was once shrouded in black mist.
We are in the twelfth month of winter, and it is okay to wither the grass and trees, but if all the shrubs and trees are also dead, then there is a problem.
Judging from their dry appearance, these trees and shrubs have died not in a day or two, but in several years.
They did not die all at once. They struggled to survive for a period of time while the black mist was shrouded. This was related to the rich energy of death spells they exuded from the inside out.
I don’t know if it is affected by the energy of the death spell. The shapes of these dead trees are extremely distorted, like figures struggling in pain. The trunks and branches are all extremely abnormally twisted. On some trunks, there is a faint shadow.
It revealed human faces that were twisted in pain.
If there are two trees in one tree, it is just a coincidence. If it is the same in all trees, there must be inevitable factors.
These twisted trees are sparsely scattered on the ground, like a ghost forest.
Walking into it rashly, coupled with the aura of death emitted by the death element, is not as simple as being creepy. People with a little less willpower are likely to collapse on the spot.
Not only these trees, but also the land here is in a blackened state, exuding a strong smell of death.
Needless to say, it was also corroded by the energy of the death spell.
Until the energy of this magic dissipates completely, there will probably be no grass growing here.
Originally, the energy of magic has a strong nourishing ability for the body and soul, just like a powerful tonic medicine, it can create many incredible things.
However, the energy of death spells fused with soul fragments exhibits completely opposite characteristics and is extremely destructive.
But if you think about it carefully, this situation seems to be reasonable.
After the soul is fused with the magic energy, it will have exclusivity. Once the soul imprint is left on the magic energy, it is like a personal seal and it belongs to private property.
This is the case with death spell energy. A large number of soul fragments have been incorporated into it. If it has a master, it will be even more difficult to control. Once it enters the living body, it will run rampant and easily cause serious damage to body functions.
This is only preliminary speculation, and the specific reasons require further research and verification.
After wandering around for a long time, Sean returned to the vicinity of the conical pit again.
There are various signs that this is the core point where the problem broke out.
The radiating energy fluctuations of the death spell are the best evidence.
The death spell energy in the cone-shaped pit fluctuates as if it is about to overflow. This cold and biting spell energy is emitted in the air, soil, water, and even rocks.
The further down you go, the stronger the energy fluctuations of this spell become.
It felt like some monster crawled out of the ground.
Freezing does not last for a day.
The death spell energy in the soil around the cone-shaped pit is so deeply penetrated. It is definitely not caused by a day or two, or a year or two, but it is formed by soaking for who knows how many years.
Because Sean had seen a similar situation before - the energy reaction chamber of the Northern Fortress.
The materials used to build the energy reaction chamber were very ordinary, many of which were even ordinary marbles, because when it was built, it was already at the end of the Ancient Andis Empire, and the official had no way to pay for it. It all depended on the person who presided over it to pay for it out of his own pocket. It was not that
