Chapter 357 Princess O'Farland
The impact of the Death Knight was very strong, and it easily smashed the pile of corpses and bones blocking the road.
Seeing this scene, the grenadiers immediately took action and threw alchemical bombs on the Death Knight's charging path, but the Death Knight's defense was quite good, and the white jade-colored bones were very strong. Hundreds of alchemical bombs only left more than ten opponents.
Seeing that the Death Knight was about to rush over, the Mage Corps of Harland Territory immediately took action. More than 30 magicians, under the command of Sanders, immediately released the spider web spell.
Dozens of magicians released the spider web spell, instantly blocking the Death Knight's charging path.
Seeing that the spider web spell slowed down the speed of the Death Knight's charge, Sanders immediately asked more than a dozen priests to take action at the same time, and released spells such as attacking the undead and purifying the undead.
The priest is the nemesis of the undead creatures, and the lethality to the undead creatures is very strong. In an instant, the priests released two rounds of spells and successfully killed more than a dozen Death Knights.
After two rounds of attacks by the alchemical bomb and the Mage Corps, the number of Death Knights has been reduced by about one third.
However, Death Knights, undead creatures, are not very intelligent and are not afraid of casualties. The remaining Death Knights still quickly tore the spider webs apart, riding on their skeleton horses and fiercely crashing into the shields of the soldiers.
The power of the Death Knights is very strong, and in an instant, the infantry phalanx was knocked over and their shields shattered.
Although the soldiers in the front row were very strong, they could not withstand it at all.
In the blink of an eye, the Death Knights broke through the defense of an infantry squadron.
After breaking through the formation, the Death Knights immediately caused serious killings to the soldiers, killing and wounding more than a hundred soldiers in a blink of an eye, and the Seventh Battalion, an infantry squadron, although very brave and did not retreat a step, only killed two Death Knights.
The casualty ratio is nearly thirty to one. According to this exchange ratio, to eliminate the remaining seventy Death Knights, at least two thousand soldiers will be killed or wounded.
Such an exchange ratio is simply unbearable for the army.
The soldiers of the Seventh Battalion were Harland's elite troops, one of the first eight infantry battalions. There were about 20 professionals in one squadron, and they were rarely matched in the main legion. Facing the attack of less than 70 Death Knights, they could not stop the opponent at all.
However, the blocking of the Sixth Squadron of the Seventh Battalion slowed down the attack speed of the Death Knights and bought time for other troops.
The Death Knights had just broken through the circle, and the backbones of the Mage Corps took action one after another, and more than a dozen fireballs fell on the heads of the Death Knights in an instant.
The fireballs exploded, and the Death Knights were blown upside down. At the same time, the archers in the circle also seized the opportunity to shoot immediately, shooting more than ten explosive arrows.
With the cooperation of the two elite soldiers, they once again successfully hit the Death Knights and killed more than ten opponents.
Just as the Death Knight was about to make another effort to attack the Mage Tower, Sutton and Sylph led more than ten high-level warriors and knights to launch a sudden attack, with two ninth-level epic knights as the spearhead, and fiercely broke into the Death Knight.
At the same time, the Lion Duck Cavalry in the sky also took action.
It has been seven years since Harland County successfully captured the Lion Duck. In the past seven years, the number of Lion Ducks domesticated in the territory has increased from ten to thirty.
Every spring, Harland County has to exchange breeding with the royal family. Now the population of Lion Ducks in the Grant Kingdom has expanded three times, with a total number of more than sixty, and Harland County and the royal family each have thirty.
However, nearly half of the thirty Lion Ducks are young Lion Ducks under the age of five. In fact, only two Lion Duck squads are actually incorporated into the army, one of which is not fully staffed. There are only seventeen qualified Lion Duck Cavalry, who can only undertake reconnaissance tasks.
Because of the small number, the selection of Lion-Duck Cavalry in Harland Territory is strictly required, and usually only professionals above level 3 can join.
Lion-Duck itself is a level 4 magic beast. Some Lion-Duck with high blood maturity can be promoted to level 5 magic beast. The king among Lion-Duck can be promoted to level 6 at most. This is already the king among Lion-Duck, which is extremely rare.
Seventeen Lion-Duck Cavalry flew in the air, commanding Lion-Duck to release four-ring magic corrosion orbs. Seventeen four-ring magics hit the formation of the Death Knights, immediately causing serious chaos. The Lion-Duck Cavalry seized the opportunity and attacked in the air, either throwing alchemical bombs or shooting explosive arrows.
Under various means of attack, seven or eight opponents were killed. At this time, the total number of Death Knights has been reduced by about half.
At this time, high-level melee fighters such as Sutton and Sylph still restrained some Death Knights, and the remaining Death Knights were less than thirty. The impact force is seriously insufficient.
Seeing that the Death Knight's charge failed, a dozen purple eyeballs suddenly rushed out of the gray fog. Many red tentacles stretched out from the purple eyeballs and squirmed around the purple eyeballs. It was unknown what type of undead creatures they were.
However, judging from the appearance, it is estimated that they are not melee types, and there must be some mysterious spells.
Along with the purple meat balls, there are also some ghosts floating in the air. These ghosts exude a cold and piercing breath, which is very eye-catching in the gray fog.
Judging from the momentum, these two groups of undead creatures are estimated to be equivalent to high-level professionals.
Once they rush into the circle, the casualties of the soldiers will inevitably increase, and even be unbearable.
Seeing that various powerful undead creatures continue to appear, although the mastermind has not yet been discovered, Richard has decided not to hold back. He suddenly grasped the Starlight Necklace, and the magic power in his body rushed in crazily.
Li Cha awakened his powerful spellcasting talent, and the destructive power of the spell he released doubled. However, the starlight bomb is a legendary magic. When this spell is released, the power of the spell can only be increased by about 30%.
The power of the starlight bomb is extremely terrifying. The increase of 30% power and lethality is almost equivalent to a destructive legendary spell.
Richard released the starlight bomb, and a thick beam of light suddenly fell into the gray fog. Another large explosion came in the gray fog. In an instant, whether it was the purple eyeball or the high-level ghost, it was instantly turned into ashes.
About 5,000 undead creatures in the gray fog were also turned into ashes.
Because the starlight bomb was so destructive, it actually blew a large hole in the ice surface of the salt lake, with an area of about half a square kilometer.
A large number of undead fell into the ice lake like dumplings, and they could not climb out in a short time. The next day, they were frozen by thick ice, and the damage was close to 2,000.
Seeing this scene, perhaps fearing the power of the starlight bomb, the undead creatures hidden in the dark let out a sharp whistle, and the gray fog slowly retreated into the western part of the salt lake.
This battle has been going on until now, and it is already about one o'clock in the morning.
At this moment, Sofia's magic power is exhausted and she needs to rest for a long time. Richard's magic power has also been consumed by about three-fifths, which is not enough to release the starlight bomb, and his combat effectiveness is seriously insufficient.
In the Harland territory, only Richard, Sofia, and Wendy have mastered the spell to use the starlight bomb. Now Sofia's mental power is exhausted, and Richard is not enough to use the second starlight bomb, so Richard handed the starlight necklace to Wendy.
Because the starlight bomb can still be used once, the army of the Harland territory is far from the time when it can't hold on.
Although the casualties of the soldiers are not heavy, they are already very cold and tired. Moreover, the enemy situation is unclear, and Richard and others don't know whether the hidden enemy has a powerful backhand. After comprehensive consideration, Richard ordered the soldiers to rescue the wounded, form a formation to rest, and make plans tomorrow.
The next morning, the soldiers had already started cleaning up the battlefield. Richard saw Berman and asked directly, "Have you counted the casualties?"
"It has been counted. In the battle last night, we lost more than 111 people, about 360 were injured, 200 of whom were frostbitten, and more than 90 were seriously injured.
Nearly 500 people lost their combat effectiveness in one battle, and the casualty ratio is close to one-tenth. It is a cruel battle."
Richard knew that more than one-tenth of the casualties in the field had already affected morale. Only Harland's army was well treated and had a strong sense of military honor, so they could continue to fight.
If other armies in the northern border had one-tenth of casualties, they would have needed to be reorganized. After resting for a period of time and replenishing troops, they could continue to fight.
"How much did we capture?"
"The capture was very rich. We picked out 150 to 60 carts of bones containing negative energy from the pile of bones. These bones basically came from magical creatures, some from Warcraft, some from orcs and other races, but most of them came from humans, and more than a dozen carts were dragon bones.
In addition, we picked up a lot of soul crystals, a total of 96, but most of them were not of high grade. There were more than a dozen mid-level soul crystals, mainly from undead knights, and there was not a single high-level one."
Richard knew that in the battle last night, although more than 20,000 undead creatures were destroyed, nearly half of them were killed by starlight bombs.
For all the undead creatures killed by starlight bombs, their soul crystals were annihilated under the violent energy attack, and it was almost impossible for any extraordinary materials to remain.
For example, more than 20 high-level undead creatures were blown to ashes by starlight bombs, and nothing was left. On the contrary, hundreds of undead knights were annihilated, and the harvest was very good. A lot of mid-level soul crystals were picked up alone.
The higher the level of the undead creature, the more likely it is to leave behind soul crystals after death.
Generally speaking, ordinary skeletons without grades are almost impossible to drop soul crystals. The probability of dropping soul crystals for primary undead creatures is about one in thirty. The probability of dropping soul crystals for medium-level undead creatures is about one in ten, and the probability of dropping for high-level undead creatures is about one in three.
Legendary-level undead creatures will basically drop legendary-level soul crystals after death.
After the death of the Undead Lord, something similar to the Godhead will be left behind. Once refined, it is equivalent to mastering the power of special rules. Mastering the rules, there are basically few opponents in many planes.
After cleaning the battlefield and collecting the spoils, Richard led the army to the entrance of the Undead Ruins at noon.
The entrance of the Undead Ruins was still quiet, as if nothing had happened, and last night's battle was a dream. But the scattered bones near the ruins told everyone that a fierce battle broke out here last night.
At noon today, the magic circle of the ruins still played a big role, but the undead did not appear at the entrance of the cave.
Richard led the soldiers to the entrance of the cave. Although the entrance of the undead ruins cave was very wide, Richard was also a little worried about this dark terrain.
After entering this kind of cave, not only could the soldiers not form a formation, but Richard's most powerful killer starlight bomb was also useless.
The entrance of the cave is so narrow that once the starlight bomb is released, it will inevitably collapse the cave.
Undead creatures do not need air to survive, but humans do not have this ability. Once the entrance of the cave collapses, even a ninth-level epic knight will find it difficult to survive.
Richard consumed too much magic power yesterday. Even with the magic crystal replenishment, he is still far from being able to recover today.
Since the undead were unwilling to come out, Richard simply blocked the undead army at the entrance to the ruins. He ordered the soldiers to cut down trees and build camps near the entrance to the ruins, and at the same time spread the news to the headquarters of the Church of the Dawn.
After waiting for more than ten days, the reinforcements from the headquarters of Grant Kingdom’s Dawn Church arrived at the entrance to the ruins of the dead. The leader was still Richard’s old acquaintance Senna Walton. Senna’s assistants also included two senior priests, Deng Lejin and Ni. Lamp.
Archbishop Senna was very happy to see Richard.
"You also discovered the plane passage last time. Your luck is always so good. I heard that you also killed the legendary bone dragon and got a legendary level soul crystal. Do you want to use this crystal to exchange some with the church? A legendary treasure?”
Upon hearing this, Richard waved his hands quickly.
The legendary soul crystal was already useful in his heart, and he decided to use it to prepare the legendary level Styx potion.
The legendary Styx potion is of great help to the future of Sophia, Wendy and others.
Richard had a close relationship with the Dawn Church and directly told Archbishop Senna the reason.
Archbishop Senna nodded, pointed to the crystal coffin at the entrance of the ruins, and said: "After receiving your letter, I carefully checked the information recorded by the church and found that this area should be the tomb of Princess Ofland.
O'Farland was a large wizarding organization in ancient times. At its peak, it controlled half of the territory of the Central Continent. This large wizarding organization declined in the battle with the undead, and the organization's regular wizards also fell into the hands of the undead king. By the time of the Seven Gods, only one-fifth or six-fifths of the territory was left.
According to records in ancient books, the Offland Organization was no longer the main opponent of the Church of the Seven Gods in the Age of the Seven Gods. On the contrary, they had a serious conflict with a wizard organization called the Star Alliance.
After the seven gods defeated their opponents, the O'Farland organization saw no hope of victory, and left the plane of dawn with some wizard organizations on a star battleship. But I don’t know why the body of Princess Oflam was not taken away? "
After listening to Archbishop Senna's introduction, Richard nodded and said solemnly: "We also have a grasp of part of the situation in the Offland area, excavated a floating city left by the Offland organization, and obtained some information and technology. .
It is rumored that Princess Oflan is the daughter of a rules wizard, and she is also a legendary fourth-level master.
For a strong man of this level, even if his soul dies, the body left behind is still very precious and will be taken away under normal circumstances. Moreover, it is rumored that the rule wizard family has always controlled the organization of O'Farland. Since the ancient wizard left Princess Oflan here and set up a magic circle to block it, there must be some hidden secrets, and the situation inside may be very complicated and dangerous. "
After hearing what Richard said, Archbishop Senna nodded.
Exploring such high-level ruins, even if he is already a legendary second-level magician with very good methods and has the protection of the Goddess of Dawn, there is still a certain risk.
Although he knew there were risks, the magician's strong thirst for knowledge and exploration made him very interested in exploring high-level ruins.
From these high-level ruins, we can find the technology of the ancient wizard civilization, and we can touch the path that the ancient wizard civilization took.
This is enough for a magician who aspires to reach the top.
