This was different from the Knight's Charge, which would make one's blood boil just by watching. This was also different from the thieves and rangers' jungle battles, where every second mattered. Mages were famed for their rationality and rationality, and this was more like a chess match.
"And in a chess match, the more chess pieces there are, the better. The stronger the chess pieces are, the better. The more times you can move, the better."
Currently, two armies were facing off against each other. Conservation and I were like the royal generals in a chess match. I was protected by Yongye City's thick defenses, while Conservation was far away. It would be far too difficult for her to damage the main body. Naturally, she could only focus on destroying the other chess pieces of the opponent.
This obviously wasn't a fair match. From the very start, Conservation had far more chess pieces than I had. Not only that, my movement range was limited, and I couldn't allow any undead to pass through. This meant that I was at a disadvantage.
But now that Harloys interfered, the scales of victory seemed to tilt in my favor.
Black lights clashed in the sky. The resulting whirlwinds from spells were usually evil winds and ghostly howls. It was obvious that neither side was using any honorable or honorable spells. I couldn't even recognize many of the spells being used. But at the very least, I could tell who had the upper hand.
"The silly cat is doing quite well."
That's right. Even I hadn't expected that Harloys would have such an obvious advantage. She was gradually gaining the upper hand in this battle. But when I carefully observed the battle, I felt that this was only natural.
No matter how Conservation was able to cast spells from such a long distance without losing any damage, it would be impossible for her to bring her own mage tower to the mortal plane. Right now, she didn't even have enough time to construct a Soul Tower to replenish her mana. That meant that all of her spells would have to rely on her own mana.
Meanwhile, Harloys had to rely on the support of her super Soul Summoning Tower and all of Yongye City's mana pool. This meant that she would be able to cast spells without losing any mana before the entire city's mana pool was completely depleted.
Harloys had the reputation of being the "Omniscient One", so it went without saying that she had a deep understanding of magic. There was basically no magical subject that she wasn't proficient in. As a Gold Elf with astonishing natural talent, she had obtained many secret elven techniques, and she had also worked hard for tens of thousands of years under the influence of her hatred. If it weren't for the fact that the success rate of becoming an Undead Emperor was far too low, and that the triple barrier between Myth-ranked undead and SemiGod Emperor was far too difficult for undead who didn't have their original physical bodies, she would have taken this step long ago.
But now, Harloys had made up for the flaws in her physical body and soul. She was now truly close to that level. All of her previous hard work wouldn't go to waste. Her pure magical techniques and experience were even above Conservation's. She was able to rapidly analyze Harloys's spells, search for weaknesses, and cast spells to counter them. Harloys's fighting style was quite impressive.
This kind of battle makes me think of, think of …
[A powerhouse using a rich account to bully normal players?]
Yes, that's it! It's a godly conclusion!
Harloys's experience and techniques were far superior to Harloys's. Not to mention, Harloys's mana was free to use as much mana as she wanted. Even if Harloys's power level was slightly higher than Harloys's, they would still be relying on their own mana to cast spells. It would be quite easy to use a pay-to-win item to smash Harloys to death. Was there anything more shameless than this?
"… I never expected that we would one day become pay-to-win players. It would seem that all of my hard work wasn't in vain. My 'sponsors' didn't waste their efforts either! How does it feel to be suppressed even though you're clearly stronger? Conservation is probably furious right now. If it was me, I would probably flip the table in anger. "
This was a pay-to-win player bullying an expert with godly equipment. A mage with or without a mage tower would be completely different. Not to mention, Yongye City was no ordinary mage tower.
99% of mage towers couldn't be moved. That was because their heavy energy pools were basically impossible to move. The fact that it was easy to absorb energy from the earth and volcanoes also made it impossible for ordinary mage towers to move. The elemental pools that stored elemental energy from other dimensions were basically coordinates that couldn't be moved.
Even though the ancient Cloud Tower was capable of moving over short distances, it would usually stay in one place and not move. That was because moving the Cloud Tower would require a tremendous amount of mana. Every time it was activated or anchored, it would require a series of relocations and connections, which was truly troublesome.
Yet, I was able to use this bug-like world to make it possible for Yongye City, a super mage tower, to be carried around with me. It was also because of this inconceivable fact that the unlucky people who were killed here hadn't been prepared for my "free moving" ability. They were probably still wondering how I had managed to move their houses.
Cough, getting back on topic, the pay-to-win player Harloys was getting better and better at fighting. All of Conservation's spells were intercepted by the skilled player Conservation. The silly cat even had the energy to deal with some of the undead. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't pinpoint Conservation's location, she would have even had the energy to counterattack.
Since I was certain that Harloys had a huge advantage in the short term, I had even more energy to focus on whack-a-mole.
That's right, whack-a-mole. That was exactly what I was doing right now.
The undead army kept advancing forward. Anyone who stuck their head out would receive a cannon blast. The lucky survivors would either retreat or be completely annihilated, and the next undead would have to stick their head out again.
"Ha, eat my tactical super mana fireball, damage increasing fireball, long-range fireball …"
Actually, this game was quite boring. However, since the undead were quite self-aware of their scattered formations, they could only keep tossing out fireballs in order to conserve as much mana as possible.
What? Why didn't they just use a high-level spell to clear out the undead?
That would also be a good way to clear out the undead. Since the undead had disgustingly high ice resistance and wouldn't foolishly let your Ice Breath stick to them, and since the undead didn't need to fear the cold and didn't have any body temperature, the cheap fireball spell's advantage was quite obvious.
Fireball, Large Fireball, Enhanced Fireball, Delayed Fireball, Super Long-Range Fireball, and Chain Fireball. No matter if it was a novice or an archmage who specialized in a particular spell, not knowing how to throw a fireball would be looked down upon. After all, this was simply a simple and crude method of detonating a mana block and manipulating the fire element to create AOE damage. Every mana block would create ten points of damage. In terms of cost-effectiveness, this was much better than ninety-nine percent of high-level spells. It was a must-have spell for mages when it came to traveling, killing, or killing.
Novice adventurers didn't need to know any support spells, and they didn't need to be as smart and calm as mages. However, they absolutely couldn't not use a fireball spell.
What? Too boring? Alright, let's change it up. We'll compress the mana even more, so the explosion will naturally have a larger AOE. Let's call it Flame Explosion!
"You guys did a good job! Thank you! But I'm sorry! Good job! Sorry! Good job! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry … "
My apologies filled with evil intentions echoed in the air. Numerous Flame Explosions the size of washbasins rained down, smashing the undead that stuck their heads out like rats.
If an undead general that looked like a rat was hit, the flames from the explosion would devour everything around it. Although I wasn't an expert in fire magic, I still knew how to toss out fireballs.
Smashing rats was too light? Wasn't that an appropriate description?
Alright then, since whack-a-mole wasn't appropriate, the undead players were harvested like freshly ripe chives … It seemed that I had accidentally taken advantage of something again.
"Can't you be a little more serious? Toss out a high-level spell or something like that? Don't you know forbidden spells?"
Although I had the advantage, I was unable to eliminate Conservation's main body, which meant that this battle would never end. The silly cat was also under a lot of pressure. She was rather annoyed to see me having so much fun.
"Tossing a forbidden spell at Legend rank? Are you complaining that you didn't die fast enough last time? "
The difference between forbidden spells and ordinary magic was the foundational understanding and control of the natural laws. Forbidden spells were a fundamental change in magic. Pure mana accumulation wouldn't be able to help me withstand the backlash of a forbidden spell. It was possible to toss out Ice Aeon with Yongye City's support, but no matter whether or not the undead army would be completely annihilated, I would definitely be forced to reincarnate.
"Don't you know any other large-scale AOE attack spells? I remember that Legends have quite a few that can be used. "
"Death's Howl, Banshee's Curse of Despair, Five Fingers of Death (also known as Death Slap). Yep, they're all undead magic. Are you sure you want me to cast negative energy healing on them? I'm using control-type undead magic specifically for the undead, and I'll need to fight against the undead's Undead Lord, not to mention that the undead are a close subordinate army of an Undead Emperor. It's not worth it. "
"What about ice magic?"
"It's not like you don't know that the undead are naturally resistant to ice. The low temperature that would be fatal to the living is just a way to keep them fresh. Are you sure you want me to make them look fresher?"
The silly cat was rendered speechless. It wasn't impossible to create a super-low temperature that could freeze the undead, but that would require far less mana than just throwing fireballs at them.
"… It would seem that you're nothing more than trash as a mage against the undead."
Harloys was indeed correct. Of course my power level would be reduced if I fought against the undead. After all, an Undead Emperor would never think of another Undead Emperor as her imaginary enemy. However, Conservation had the exact same problem. Our undead magic, negative energy resistance, and ice resistance were all quite outstanding. Even her most powerful magic spells would be reduced in power against us.
"How could I have ever imagined that I would have to fight against another Undead Emperor? My only enemy would be the undead from the very start. Besides, in normal situations, if I meet an undead that's difficult to deal with, I can just cast Holy Light … Oh, right, Holy Light! "
As a Holy Knight, of course I could use Holy Light. However, using a Holy Knight's Fearless Charge against such a sea of undead would basically be suicidal. However, Holy Light wasn't only limited to melee combat. Yongye City had already plundered many churches of the Holy Light Church, and the Holy Light Church's Holy Relics were more than enough to host an exhibition. As long as I had enough mana, it would be quite easy to convert Holy Light into Holy Light.
However, that was only in theory. If I wanted to use my mage towers to cast Holy Light Divine Arts, I would first need to solve many technical problems. At the very least, I would need to determine which Divine Art model to use, and then figure out how to convert mana into Holy Light.
While I was busy calculating the energy conversion formula, Conservation, who had been suppressed to the point where she couldn't even breathe, finally took action. She requested reinforcements from her temporary ally, and soon, a new batch of half-undead, half-constructed undead entered the battlefield. This time, there were more than a hundred bone giants that resembled "red zagu".
Conservation was still casting a spell, but this time, it wasn't an offensive spell. Dark clouds floated over again, but this time, the dark clouds didn't float towards Yongye City. Instead, they covered the bone giants' gigantic bodies.
Conservation discovered that most of her spells had been blocked, so she rationally gave up on directly attacking Yongye City. Instead, she focused on buffing and supporting her subordinates. The dark clouds that covered the undead also blocked our line of sight. Even though we were skilled at harvesting the undead, there was nothing we could do if we couldn't see our targets with our Flame Burst spells.
"Since we can't see our targets, let's use AoE spells. This time, let's go all out. "
"Let's hurry up. Double casting means double the energy consumption. We don't have much energy left."
…
While the two Undead Emperors' second battle was about to determine the victor, Starwood City also reached the golden time to reinforce its defenses.
Numerous steel sentry towers were erected. The sinister-looking scorpion-shaped crystal cannons on top of these towers gave everyone an instinctive sense of danger. Timlad had just demonstrated to everyone how he could instantly refine raw ores into iron. The already reinforced city walls were now covered with yet another layer of iron.
However, the great engineer Timlad had no intentions of stopping. He was currently melting Starwood City's Knight Domain Lord's statue. He had already completed the foundation of a gigantic catapult. The ammunition and principle behind this catapult would definitely be far more than a simple kinetic bombardment.
Meanwhile, in the plains of the Sala Dukedom, the royalty's reinforcements had already received a new report of the situation. Several hundred horse-drawn carriages kicked up a cloud of dust. It was quite obvious that they were hurrying over here.
Several hundred kilometers behind them, several black-cloaked figures were also speedily approaching that direction. They were holding a certain person's arrest warrant. It would seem that a certain person's identity had been exposed. Judging from how the leader of the group was so angry that her beautiful face was distorted, a certain person was in for a big laugh.
