Chapter 801: The Core Ability of Guarding the Battle Flag
It's just that the number of twisted nightmares surrounding the Blood Castle is a bit alarming. Even the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard has a hard time sneaking in silently. It has to use energy clones and General Pedro as a way to attract the twisted nightmares along the way.
Yes, creating opportunities for the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard to infiltrate.
This method really works.
Twisted Nightmares can obviously share information to a certain extent in a shadow environment. When there is a commotion in one direction, the surrounding Twisted Nightmares move in that direction.
The more noise the energy clones and General Pedro make, the more twisted nightmares they attract, and the easier it becomes for the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard to infiltrate.
It was the same old method used to deal with the Tower of Ashes, using the Northern Fortress, the Thundering Golden Eagle, and the clear location of the energy clone to locate the position. Sean did not lose his way at all under the canopy of the undead.
With the speed of the Shadow Soul-eating Leopard, once it was released, it didn't take long to directly touch the Byron Alliance's first fortress - the Broken Mouth Blood Castle.
This super fortress, with three floors inside and three floors outside, had been built by the Strachey family for three centuries. When it appeared in front of Sean again, it looked extremely dilapidated.
Large sections of city walls collapsed everywhere.
That kind of collapse was very strange. It was not shattered by trebuchets or bombs. It looked more like it was violently hammered and corroded. The fracture was very smooth, and the shadow energy filled with it was particularly rich.
It is almost solidified there, and there are particularly many twisted nightmares and flesh-twisted nightmares in these areas.
There were a lot of broken-vein soldiers stationed here, and there were a lot of materials parasitized by the shadow seeds. Naturally, there were also a lot of flesh-and-blood nightmares.
And those nearly substantial shadow energies seem to be the best medium for them to become stronger. Those twisted nightmares crawl there, greedily devouring those shadow energies.
The twisted nightmare that swallowed up that energy was obviously different from what he had encountered before.
The more twisted nightmares absorb this kind of shadow energy, the more the shadow energy on their bodies becomes solidified. There are several spiritual twisted nightmares occupying the best areas, and the shadow energy around them is almost substantial, and they have an entity-like existence.
The shadow energy on the surface of those flesh-distorted nightmares sticks to their bodies like scales, which reduces their nausea level to a certain extent.
In order to compete for this unique shadow energy resource, it is naturally impossible for the twisted nightmares to be harmonious.
From time to time, Twisted Nightmare would challenge them, and then they would fight.
This boss position challenge between Twisted Nightmares is quite cruel.
The loser gets nothing, while the winner gets everything, including the loser himself. Once he runs slower, he will be swallowed by the winner and become a part of his body.
This kind of battle is not entirely bottom-up, it may also be top-down, with those powerful twisted nightmares actively devouring the weaker twisted nightmares around them.
This means that unless it is a multi-eyed spider-shaped twisted nightmare, it uses its unique control ability to control those weak twisted nightmares to gather around itself.
Otherwise, most of the surroundings of those powerful twisted nightmares would be blank, and no other twisted nightmares would dare to approach them. Even if there were originally, they would have already become the opponent's meal and become the opponent's ration to become stronger.
This non-human act of shattering the city wall, and the remaining shadow energy that is suspected of being body fluids, can allow the twisted nightmares to collectively evolve the terrifying ability. Sean can only think of one existence - the Shadow Mistress.
Based on what he saw before him, it looked like a doomsday scene, and Sean quickly imagined it in his mind.
One day a few weeks ago, Broken Mouth Blood Castle was suddenly shrouded in a strange gray fog, and everyone was wondering where this strange weather came from.
A terrifying creature that was larger than normal, waved its thick and incredible tentacles from the gray fog.
In front of him, the walls of Broken Mouth Blood Castle were torn apart instantly like paper.
Countless facehugger-like shadow creatures spurted out from the blowholes on the tentacles and submerged into the bodies of the broken-vein soldiers.
Faced with the kind of terrifying monsters that have never appeared in nightmares, the minds of those broken-pulse soldiers were completely dominated. They didn't even have a chance to persist. They would be quickly assimilated and distorted by those shadow seeds, and then they would pounce on them with drastically changed temperaments.
His former comrade-in-arms.
That indescribable terrifying existence did not last long before it was forcibly driven out by the laws of the planes. Otherwise, the Broken Mouth Blood Fortress would not just be as simple as a large section of the city wall being demolished, but the entire city would be uprooted.
Just when Sean was thinking about how to bypass these elite twisted nightmares.
A loud horn sounded, and countless knights rode out to fight.
These knights exuded a faint golden light, their blood-red cloaks fluttered in the wind, and they all wore brass camphor lances and severed swords.
They were the world-famous No. 1 Iron Cavalry, the Broken Pulse Blood Cavalry. They rushed to the front and danced their spears like wheels. Even though he couldn't see his face clearly, Sean recognized his identity - Arnold
General.
The Broken Vein Blood Riders charging out were invincible. No matter the nearly materialized twisted nightmares of spirits or the twisted nightmares of flesh and blood covered in gray scales, they could not withstand their crazy charge.
Seeing this situation, Sean not only did not feel the slightest joy, but instead felt unspeakably heavy.
A discerning person can tell at a glance that the Duanmai Xueqi is not acting normally.
Both the knight and the mount are in a translucent state.
This means that they are all dead and are now in the status of guardian knights.
The status of Guardian Knight and Heroic Soul Soldier is very similar.
It's just that one relies on the second world to exist for a long time, and the other relies on the guardian flag to exist.
Guard the battle flag.
When I first heard the name, I thought that this battle artifact was just like the Kingsley family's golden armor, purely to improve soldiers' defense capabilities.
This statement can only be said to be half correct.
The Guardian Flag does have the ability to provide soldiers with energy armor blessings, but this is an accessory ability and not its core function.
Its core ability is to transform the Guardian Knight.
Those soldiers who leave soul marks on the guardian battle flag will not die immediately. Instead, their souls will be absorbed by the guardian battle flag. They will be reborn using magic energy and transform into guardian knights. They will continue to fight until the magic spell on the guardian battle flag is revealed.
until the energy is exhausted.
This ability is the guardian flag, the real origin of the name.
According to the original setting of the guardian battle flag, these guardian knights will die and dissipate when the energy in the guardian battle flag is exhausted.
But the guardian battle flag went through a pass in Sean's hands. When repairing it, he did a little trick and tried to inject a hundred points of law power into it.
Sean really had no other ideas at the time, he was just doing experiments to prepare for imitating the Heroic Soul Army Flag.
After hearing about what happened at the Broken Blood Castle, especially when he was facing enemies of the law such as shadow creatures, Sean thought about it again and felt that he had done something unintentional.
Because those hundred points of law power directly changed the nature of the guardian battle flag, giving it the same property as the heroic soul flag - storing souls.
This is another reason why Sean sent three soul beasts to go north at the same time.
Even if there is no way to save Archduke Cedric and the others alive, they must at least find it and save their souls before the energy to protect the battle flag is exhausted.
I just didn't expect that not only did the guardian flag not appear to be exhausted, but these guardian knights were also capable of counterattack.
Seeing the thick or light golden light shining on them, it is reasonable for this situation to occur.
The one hundred points of Law power that Sean injected into the Guardian Flag became a seed, allowing Archduke Cedric and others to face a unique enemy like the Twisted Nightmare without the slightest ability to resist.
The power of law is accumulated by killing them in the process of fighting against twisted nightmares, including the energy that maintains their status as guardian knights.
As long as there is a balance point, Archduke Cedric and the others can use this as a basis to support war with war, maintain this state for a long time, and form a state similar to the second world.
The Broken Blood Cavalry led by General Arnold rushed very fast and did not hesitate to fight. They scattered the Twisted Nightmare that needed to be swept away. The surrounding Twisted Nightmare was frightened and immediately retreated quickly when there were signs of a large-scale gathering.
Naturally, Sean would not let go of this perfect opportunity. He immediately rushed out from his hiding place and ran towards the direction of the Broken Pulse Blood Cavalry while shouting loudly: 'General Arnold, wait for me, it's me, Sean.
.”
In order to prove the authenticity of his words, all the power of law hidden deep in the soul surged out. The Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard also turned into a super light. Wherever it passed, the shadow energy vaporized, trying to stop Sean's attack.
The twisted nightmare was slapped away by him without mercy.
"Lord Sean?" When General Arnold first heard Sean's greeting, he just glanced back and was not moved at all.
They have already experienced the methods of twisted nightmares to manipulate souls and imitate other people or creatures, and have suffered great losses.
The method of reading the soul's memory and then imitating it is no longer simply something that can be described vividly.
It wasn't until he saw the restrained light blooming from the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard that General Arnold determined Sean's true identity.
This kind of restraining power cannot be imitated by those monsters in the gray mist.
General Arnold turned the horse's head, pointed his spear and shouted loudly: "Follow me."
Under his leadership, this group of Broken Blood Cavalry immediately counterattacked in mighty force.
The distance between the two parties was not that far, and it only took a few minutes for them to come together.
Sean was not polite and made his request straightforwardly: "General, please follow me. There are reinforcements behind me. They are carrying a large amount of military supplies that can change the situation of the war. They are tripped by the twisted nightmare along the way. I need you to meet them."
Procedure."
The military supplies that Sean mentioned were none other than the power of law carried by the energy clone.
The power of law is different from the runes of law. There is no way to freely transmit it through the invisible connection between Sean's souls. It must be carried by soul or energy. Once it is completely separated, the power of law is very easy to be absorbed by other substances.
In other words, Sean cannot use the war beast to recall energy clones that carry a large amount of power of law.
Because only the soul will be recalled at that time, and the power of the law will remain where it is and dissipate.
This is determined by the characteristics of the power of law itself.
"What are the core values of the collar insignia of the Yongye Army?" General Arnold asked loudly from a distance.
Sean was stunned for a moment, but said without hesitation, "Serve the people."
"What is the duty of a soldier?"
"Protecting the family is the leader."
"When is little Annie's birthday?"
"August 12th."
"What is Sophia's favorite food?"
"..."
General Arnold asked seven or eight weird questions in a row. Seeing that Sean answered them all without hesitation, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "It's really the lord who has arrived. Please forgive me. These monsters have
The ability to read people's memories and imitate them must be carefully distinguished."
"This unique ability has just been seen and understood." At the end of the answer, Sean had already guessed what the other party wanted to do. "Since you have proven yourself, please come with me."
"Lord, lead the way from the front." After verifying that Sean was behind him, General Arnold gave Sean a high degree of trust without hesitation.
"Willy, lead a regiment and fight back. Report the situation on our side to His Majesty and ask him to defend carefully."
"Warnas, your other regiment is stationed nearby and try to ensure our retreat."
"Ottons, you lead your troops and follow me. The lord will lead the way."
General Arnold quickly ordered his troops, and the blood cavalry heroes he led were divided into three, which can be said to be comprehensive.
Although there was only one regiment of blood knight souls rushing out following Sean, it was enough to clear the way.
These blood knight souls not only experienced hundreds of battles in life, but also fought countless battles with twisted nightmares after death. They more or less gathered some power of law in their bodies, at least a dozen points, and as many as dozens of points.
, General Arnold has already exceeded 100 points.
As for Sean's energy clone, after finding the target, it no longer adopted the previous burning mode, but quickly rushed in with General Pedro.
Compared with killing alone, it is more efficient to distribute the power of law and fight in the mode of regiments and legions.
While on the road, Sean learned one after another from General Arnold's mouth what exactly happened in the Broken Blood Castle.
In fact, in the process of exploration, Sean has already guessed about 7788. Except for some details, the overall number is correct.
The Theodin Empire used a large-scale blood sacrifice to release a Shadow Mistress. To be more precise, it should be the three tentacles of the Shadow Mistress.
From the beginning to the end, the people in Broken Mouth Blood Castle only found three shadow tentacles of different thicknesses that were raging like skyscrapers, and they did not see the entire face of the Shadow Mistress at all.
Therefore, General Arnold and others doubted whether that indescribable terrifying monster had completely entered their world.
