According to the energy response of this phalanx, if all the bones are gathered together and formed, this wizard is at least a third-level wizard, that is, a high-level transcendent.
Maybe it will be one of the legendary true body parts of a Morningstar wizard.
If that's the case, Raven really can't act rashly, but for the construction of the Dark Knights, he must establish it as quickly as possible.
That night, the dark knights riding nightmare horses rode on black flames and wore black cloaks. They came and went without a trace among the twisted trees, running towards one of the gathering places of humans.
The leader of the dark knight stretched out his hand, and a handful of hard white bones ignited a black smoke cloud. In the smoke cloud, wings fluttered, and two small skeletal flying dragons appeared, only twenty or thirty centimeters in length, above Raven's head.
After flying in a circle, it broke through the air at an extremely fast speed and flew into the distance.
The purpose this time is very simple, just to find iron ore.
A long time ago, Skeleton No. 1 discovered the reaction of some metal ores around human gathering places, which in turn means that there must be iron ores around.
Raven's Knights want to expand. There is no shortage of bones and skeletons, and there is no shortage of shadow energy. What they lack is the metal to construct the armor.
Unlike the bone armor, Raven can forge metal into the Dark Knight's shell, which has multiple properties.
Such as self-healing, shadow energy binding, defense enhancement and other effects.
No matter how strong the skeleton is, there is a limit. Only a knight wearing armor can restrain more shadow energy with the help of armor, burst out with stronger combat power, and possess a higher essence.
And this is the essence of the Dark Knight.
——————
This is a small town, with about five or six hundred people left.
The town is dotted with lights, reflecting the flickering lights of the central square.
At this time, people were all asleep, and the night watchmen on duty were looking into the distance to see if there were any traces of the undead.
On the high tower of the building, there were several night watchmen taking a nap, staring blankly at the dark world, not knowing whether they were awake or asleep.
In the center of the town, in a small house that is bright all year round, there are a few dim shadows wandering slowly and unconsciously.
This is a ghost, a soul that has broken away from the shackles of the body and turned into a spiritual life under the erosion of shadow energy.
In this state, the ghost may carry certain memories with it at the beginning, but as time goes by, the ghost will gradually forget everything about the living and turn into the shadow after being eroded by the shadow energy.
of walkers.
This state can be regarded as a kind of inferior immortality, or it can be regarded as a monster separated from the human body, just like a soulless body like a skeleton.
However, in this world, there are always some people with stronger will than ordinary people, trying hard to fight against inhuman monsters with their bodies that are no longer complete and no longer human.
"Mayor, I feel the breath of the undead."
A ghost that looked obviously strong ran in from outside the door, dragging his dim body and said hurriedly to a translucent ghost with an old face.
"Huh?" The old-looking ghost trembled and said, "Wake them up quickly."
During the time of awakening, ghosts will consume more shadow energy, and consuming shadow energy means that they have to circulate more shadow energy.
As a price, their memories, their will as humans, and their existence will be erased bit by bit by the shadow energy.
This is always the case, let alone during a battle. During a battle, the longer it lasts, the greater the damage to the ghost will be, until it finally loses its memory and will and sinks into a member of the shadows.
Therefore, in normal times, ghosts will choose to sleep to seal themselves, minimize their energy consumption, and prolong their existence.
Even so, a ghost can only serve as a guardian spirit for a few months. If it is longer, it will require a firmer will.
The old ghost stepped forward and wandered out of the town along the shadowed corner. After a flash, it appeared dozens of meters away.
Outside the town, several dark knights wearing nightmare horses were silent, not breathing, not moving, and uniform as sculptures.
The leading dark knight caught two small bone flying dragons that flew back, and they brought back information.
Is there a small amount of metal, but a lot of metal ore reaction?
While Raven was thinking, a shaky figure entered the perception range of the Dark Knights.
Um, skeleton?
Another one coming?
A hidden energy pulse spread out from the horns on the helmet, and a few seconds later, dozens of skeleton beacons fed back to him.
Is this the undead attacking the town?
Raven led the Dark Knights to the ridge and looked down at the undead wandering towards the town from all directions.
He looked at the sparse undead and the people who woke up from their sleep and hurried to defend outside the town.
Now he is also a member of the undead, but no matter what he does, his will is still in control.
He was watching to see how these people fought against the undead.
Is this a ghost?
In the eyes of Raven's Dark Knight, those illusory figures sent out shock waves of shadow energy, disrupting the skeletons' perception, and then the militiamen behind them swarmed up and broke the skeletons' spines.
This is a good way, but also a bad way, because the more skeletons die, the more shadow energy will be accumulated, which may attract more skeletons.
Well, the ghosts are using the energy of the skeletons to replenish their own energy, but they are treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. There is too much shadow energy left and they have no way to clean it up.
Then, there were female villagers pushing wooden carts out of the town, and together with other villagers, they picked up the bones and threw them on the cart, and then threw them all the way out, throwing the bones far away.
Don't give them a chance to meet.
Raven nodded slightly, and the orange soul fire flickered in the Y-shaped gap of the helmet.
Is this the way humans in this world have found to survive?
Cooperate with ghosts and destroy skeletons.
Then break the skeletons into pieces and throw some away so that the skeletons cannot gather together.
This method is very simple, but also very effective.
The price is the health and lifespan of the living. The erosion of shadow energy is much faster than they imagined. Even a short battle will leave the root of disease in many people's bodies, laying the foundation for future outbreaks.
When high-level skeletons are lurking in places with thick shadow energy in the mountains, humans only need to deal with low-level skeletons passing by blankly, but just this is enough for them to do their best.
