Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth? Nails into the enemy's chest
This task belongs to the Guards Corps alone, and several other marshals cannot compete for it even if they want to.
Why don't they have the mobility of the Guards Corps?
In view of the fact that Marshal Dixon is likely to fight deep into the undead canopy this time, Sean sent three soul clones to accompany them - the shadow soul-eating leopard, the energy clone and the thundering golden eagle.
In this extreme environment, the soul war beast is definitely the best scout. Although from the perspective of the undead soul, the stealth effect of the shadow soul-eating leopard's ability to escape into the shadows is not useful.
However, the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard itself also has a soul perspective, and Sean's soul consciousness is strong enough. The perspective distance is definitely higher than that of the undead, and there are still many advantages.
The most important thing is that all soul beasts have the function of soul positioning, so it is not easy to get lost in the canopy of the undead.
When the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard detects something useful and reports it, it can directly report it through the soul war beast following the legion to determine the direction and general distance of the intelligence, so as to facilitate the legion's layout and operations.
Vice versa, there will be no situation where the legion cannot be found after the far sentry is thrown out.
"The Eye in the Sky is the Lord's Eye in the Sky."
"It's really the eye in the sky. I didn't expect that the lord would call his eye in the sky back to support us. What's there to be afraid of with just a canopy of undead?"
"Brothers of the Guards Corps, cheer up for me. This is the first time that the lord has gone on an expedition with us. If anyone is timid in front of the lord and makes a fool of myself, don't blame me for being rude."
"Shadow Leopard and Shadow Guard, did the lord bring back three eyes at once? It seems that the lord attaches great importance to our mission this time?"
"That's natural. After all, the enemies we face this time cannot be measured by common sense. The Lord's Soul War Beast does have advantages in investigation that ordinary soldiers cannot match."
"With the Lord's three eyes accompanying us, and the Lord's newly developed Holy Light Chariot, that undead canopy can't imagine turning our tricks around like the last time. This time we must kill that bird canopy.
We go together, capture that Narentoya alive, and expose her to the sun, so that she will know the consequences of provoking us, Yongye."
"Having confidence is a good thing, but having too much confidence is arrogance! I hope you are not the latter!"
"I don't have confidence in myself, but I have confidence in the lord!"
"Lord Lord, it's the Lord Lord himself!"
"I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet the Lord. I seemed to see a dazzling light in the Lord. Is it my imagination?"
"It's not your illusion, it's a real thing. This is why the lord appears less and less in front of the people, because it is too dazzling, haha..."
"I think this is great! This is in line with the identity of the lord! This is how our lord should be!"
"Silence! Silence! The lord is about to speak!"
Sean led three soul war beast clones to appear, causing an unknown commotion in the Guards Corps, which was a big boost to their morale.
The Yongye Army has been able to see the presence of soul war beasts in military operations of a relatively small scale over the years, and all soldiers are accustomed to it.
There has even been a consensus internally that based on whether the lord has sent a soul battle beast and what kind of soul battle beast it is, the senior management can judge the importance attached to this military mission, as well as the nature of the mission itself, etc., and even have exclusive missions for them.
nickname.
Among them, the ones with the most missions are the Thundering Golden Eagle, Shadow Soul-eating Leopard and Energy Clone. The others are rarely mobilized unless there are special circumstances or they are really incapacitated.
It would be quite remarkable to be able to enable Sean to launch a military operation involving a soul war beast.
The only one that has produced multiple ones so far is the previous naval battle with Donghai Kingdom.
The situation like this, with one legion accompanied by three soul war beasts, is unprecedented.
This fully proves the importance he attaches to this mission and the Guards Corps.
The soldiers of the Guards Corps now fully felt this, and their morale was naturally greatly stimulated. They held their heads high and held their chests high, showing a sense of glory and pride that could not be concealed.
Because there are so many missions performed by the soul war beasts, the chances of Sean's true form appearing in the sight of the people are getting less and less.
This is not just for safety reasons, but his current state is somewhat shocking.
It is no exaggeration to say that Sean now has his own halo, and his whole body is shining with this blazing magic light.
The occurrence of this situation is naturally closely related to the cell talisman culture developed by Sean. Over the years, he has never stopped practicing in this area.
Especially after having a sufficient source of spell energy, as long as the body can bear it, Sean will absorb it in the maximum amount and speed to promote the progress of cell talisman culture.
Everything is difficult at the beginning.
This sentence is perfect for Sean’s cell culture work.
At the beginning, Sean had to use the mage tower, spend a lot of time and energy, constantly impact and temper those cells, so that they could partially appear runic culture.
However, as the number of rune culture cells in the body increases and a large number of rune culture cell groups appear, even if Sean does not take the initiative to advance, those rune culture cell groups will actively absorb the surrounding magic energy and promote the progress of the rune culture culture in the surrounding cells.
This process is extremely slow compared to artificial cultivation, but it is real.
The rune culture cells that Sean was initially worried about turned into ordinary cells after metabolism, and the rune culture he had promoted before had done useless work. This situation did not occur at all.
After the rune culture cells form a group, the cells metabolized in the middle are not rune culture cells, but they are quasi rune culture cells. The energy inside is in a nearly saturated state. With a little energy stimulation, the cells will automatically run the rune culture.
This also completely explains why legendary creatures like dragons lie down and sleep every day, but their strength continues to grow with time.
Now Sean can do this too, and can be regarded as a legendary creature wearing humanoid skin.
Cell culture is accompanied by an unavoidable side effect, which is that it emits magical fluorescence.
In the early stages, this symptom is not particularly obvious, and it even has miraculous beauty effects. After all, to a certain extent, it is a self-contained highlighter.
But as the number of runic cells increases, and when trillions of cells gather together, even the fluorescence will turn into a dazzling light that can be difficult to block even with clothes.
If the current situation continues, Sean is afraid that he will not only be a high-power human-shaped light bulb, but will completely turn into a ball of light.
Sean has already begun to solve this matter and has a certain clue.
To untie the bell, one must tie the bell.
If something happens to the cell symbol culture, we should find a solution based on the cell symbol culture.
Sean originally wanted to solve the root cause and directly stop the runic culture cells from emitting this magical fluorescence, but this is obviously impossible, at least with his current ability.
The only option is to do the next best thing, work on the skin layer, culture the cells here with priority symbols, and use them to form a special spell array, so as to achieve the purpose of blocking the fluorescence of the spell.
Even for Sean, this is a big project, and in a short period of time, he can only go in and out under the halo.
"This time out of the fortress, your mission is no longer simply to harass the enemy. I want you to turn into a sharp blade and drive it hard into the opponent's heart, causing them pain and bleeding.
At that time, you will be fighting alone, with no friendly troops, no supplies, and even the retreat back to the fortress will be blocked.
The enemy will regard you as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, and will mobilize superior forces to pursue and intercept you.
The only thing that will be with you at that time is our belief in protecting the military leaders and our confidence in defeating the enemy.
Can I trust you with this difficult task?"
Sean's speech to the Guards was very brief, with no inflammatory words or heroic words, only a statement of facts.
The Empire of the Undead is advancing very quickly and has entered the boundary of Kogel Grassland three days ago.
Now if the Guards Corps is sent to attack from a long distance, the connection between the two sides will most likely be cut off by the other side.
But in order to maintain sufficient initiative in this war, the mobile army of the Guards must be released.
Put it behind the Empire of the Dead.
As long as they exist, the Empire of the Undead will not be able to let go and attack the northern defense line with all its strength.
This move is not original to the leader of the Eternal Night Army, but he learned it from Archduke Cedric's Broken Mouth Blood Rider.
They took the initiative to leave the fortress, go around behind the enemy who was attacking the broken line of defense, and attack from two sides. They used it very skillfully.
So much so that before seeing the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry, the Odin Orcs attacking the Broken Vein Defense Line must have some spare strength, which in itself is a weakening.
However, one can imagine the pressure this tactic puts on the legion as the nail itself.
"Must win!"
"Must win!"
"Must win!"
Sean's response was a fiery shout.
For these soldiers who are proud to protect, entrusting them with this arduous task is their greatest honor.
After the brief swearing-in meeting, the Guards Corps left the northern fortress again, carrying the newly released Holy Light Chariot. Under the personal leadership of Marshal Dixon, they went deep into the Kogel Grassland. This time they
We have made preparations to go deep behind enemy lines and engage in long-term guerrilla warfare.
Compared with the first time out of the border, the Guards Corps not only has better equipment, but also has richer experience.
Adopt a combat plan of hiding day and night, no matter whether you go deep into the undead canopy or not.
This is done in order to make full use of the laws of the planes to counter the undead.
The undead canopy only blocks the sunlight, but it does not mean that the sunlight has disappeared.
Under the scorching sun, the power of the undead canopy is still weakened to a certain extent, and the strength of the undead soldiers is naturally affected, and their activity will be much lower.
Rest during the day and you are less likely to be attacked.
When the Guards Corps was dispatched, Sean's Thundering Golden Eagle took the lead and launched a comprehensive reconnaissance of the Undead Empire.
The Undead Canopy is a canopy, but it is far from covering the entire sky. At most, it only covers the ground for about twenty meters.
The coverage area is not as wide as imagined, at least it is far from the terrifying level of being shrouded in the canopy of the undead wherever it goes.
The Barsin Prairie, which is now regarded as the home base of the Undead Empire, cannot do this.
If you look down from the air, the Undead Canopy is like mold spots, scattered here and there on the Barsin Prairie, not to mention one percent, not even one thousandth.
In Sean's opinion, these undead canopies are more like shelters built by the undead for themselves to escape the sunlight during the day.
The reason why the Undead Empire was very cautious when facing the Eternal Night Army Leader was because they did not use this shelter method to jump towards the Eternal Night Army Leader.
Instead, he directly built an undead canopy passage exclusively for undead souls, a passage that is twenty kilometers wide.
This is another reason why Sean dares to send the Guards to take the initiative. As long as they know the direction, it is not difficult for them to kill each other in the twenty-kilometer passage and escape into an environment that is unfavorable to the undead.
If the empire of the undead really brought the Kogel Grassland under the canopy of the undead.
Sean would never have any other ideas, let alone take the initiative to release the Guards Corps to die. He would honestly manage his northern defense line and be able to block the Undead Empire from outside. Only Amitabha.
It's not that the Undead Empire doesn't want to do this, it's just that it can't do it.
Although the operating principle of the Undead Canopy has not been completely understood, it is also unclear what kind of energy they use.
But one thing is certain, in the current environment, this kind of magic to change the natural environment is definitely very energy-consuming.
In other words, it is not yet the best time for unconventional enemies like the Undead Empire to cause trouble.
Then again, when they wait for the best time, they won't be facing the current leader of the Yongye Army.
The Golden Eagle's reconnaissance direction is mainly based on the overall situation.
The situation inside the Undead Canopy requires the Shadow Leopard to take action.
Only when he truly penetrated into the canopy of the undead did Sean truly understand what the paradise of the undead was, a forbidden land for humans.
It is not just as simple as blocking the sun. There is a vague amount of negative energy wandering in the air, invading every moment and penetrating into every living being in it.
This kind of negative energy is naturally a great tonic for the undead. If nourished by it for a long time, the fire of the soul will become stronger and stronger, and the strength will naturally become stronger.
For human beings, this is an unmitigated source of disaster. Exposed to this environment for a long time, a strong man will soon become weak and sickly, and will turn into a wandering corpse after death.
Sean felt a familiar smell in it - the smell of the undead virus.
The Undead Empire frantically integrated the undead virus into the Undead Canopy.
wrong!
It doesn't exactly smell like an immortal virus.
There is also a smell of energy that feels particularly familiar to Sean.
