Modor City, laboratory.
In the second laboratory connected to the shadow plane, Alice was assembling the parts in front of her with a serious face.
Søren's figure was also not far away, quietly watching Alice. Today's experiment had a lot to do with him, because one of the items came from Søren.
"Assembly complete."
On Alice's test bench, a huge boxing glove had been completed, and there were other parts next to it, but it was not assembled. She turned to Søren and bowed slightly, then put her palm into the boxing glove and said, "Start the test!"
"Activate the Mana Power Armor [Arm]!"
"Start charging!"
The lavender crystal tube was injected with mana, and then Alice's huge fist with a diameter of about 30 centimeters shook, and a faint light appeared on it. Alice first tried to move her fingers, then turned her wrist joint and recorded, "Flexibility is average! Equivalent to an ordinary human! "
"Start the test of strength!"
After that, Alice walked to a heavy iron block in front of her, grabbed it with one hand, and lifted it up, and recorded, "Test weight is 1000 kilograms! Done! Very easy! "
"Increase the weight test."
Alice turned to the second heavy object. This test was done three times in a row, and the final weight was 1500 kilograms.
Not far away, Søren had been quietly watching all this. What Alice was holding was the arm part of the Power Armor that he had obtained. It was not until the alchemy technology tree in Modor City was high enough that he took it out for research. The upper limit of strength that an ordinary human could get was 18 points. According to the records of the interstellar era in his previous life, the record of the Olympic men's weightlifting champion was 275 kilograms. This kind of strength was already one in ten thousand, and it was probably between 18 and 19 points if it was switched to the data template. The repaired arm of the Mana Power Armor provided about 25 points of strength, and the result of the current test was that it could lift 1500 kilograms with one hand. If he started the test with both hands, the data should be improved a lot, but the improvement should not be too big, because the ability of this kind of rune was constant.
"The flexibility test looks like it's only about 10 points of agility."
Søren stared at Alice as she removed the power unit. He thought to himself, "It seems that the power unit is the same as the golem. It has a clear shortcoming in terms of agility."
At this moment, Alice had already walked over and said softly, "The test data is almost complete. If the entire set was equipped, the user's strength could be raised to the level of an Iron Golem. Even an ordinary person should be able to reach that level, but their resistances are too weak. Even if they're equipped with magic constructs, they won't be able to withstand the impact of battle. "
"I think the Arcane Empire's runes should have an energy protection system."
Søren nodded. "That should be the case. The power of the Magic Construct should be above that of the Iron Golem. There's an alchemical construct lifeform in the arcane tower. Can you use it to repair your runes? "
After hearing this, Alice hesitated and said, "I can try."
"But there's no guarantee of success. The Magic Construct is more similar to a close-fitting armor enchantment. Some enchanted armor and gloves can also greatly increase the user's strength, but they're not as complete as the Magic Construct. "
Søren pondered for a moment and said, "I know."
"But the golem has a lot of limitations. Its intelligence level is far from being able to complete some tasks. The price of an advanced alchemical lifeform is too high, so the Magic Construct is a relatively cheap but flexible combat resource. "
"Try to complete the assembly first, and then add an energy shield."
After that, Søren teleported out of the laboratory.
The attack on the Divine Kingdom of Fear made Søren see one of the drawbacks of the golem army. It was that they were completely inflexible, and their reaction speed was too slow in actual combat. Unless there was a huge suppression of numbers, a more flexible troop class was needed to coordinate with the command. This made Søren think of the Magic Construct.
Their users were determined to be ordinary soldiers. The cost was much more expensive than the steel golems, but not as good as the diamond golems.
A complete Magic Construct could arm an ordinary soldier to the legendary level. For Søren, the number was not too much. Only a small team was enough to make up for the shortcomings of the golems.
…
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Just as Søren was busy replenishing his forces, some changes began to happen near the city of Mordor.
Quagmire Swamp.
This was another small island near the island of Mordor. Because of the large increase in population, Mordor quickly established a town here. Mordor had a large number of clay golems as labor force, and they had a natural advantage in building towns. In just half a month, a port town was built. Now there were about 3,000 people here.
However, the town of Quagmire Swamp was a bit restless today.
With the rapid sound of the alarm, the civilians who were working outside the town quickly returned to the town. This kind of alarm would only ring when there was a serious danger. With the panicked expression of the civilians, a team of 100 town guards quickly came to the wooden wall and looked nervously at the cemetery not far away.
"Priest Filo!"
The man who looked like a guard nervously said to the priest next to him, "What should we do now? Should we ask for help from Mordor? "
The priest on the side looked very serious and whispered, "We have sent a message to the temple. But it will take some time for the temple guards to arrive. Your task is to guard this place during this time. "
More than a thousand meters away.
Dark green flames appeared on the cemetery.
These were spirit flames, a kind of ghost with a challenge rating of about 5. As if some kind of filthy power had affected this place, there was a sound of the soil under the cemetery, and then a rotten hand stretched out from the ground, and then a decayed undead climbed out of the coffin.
There were hundreds of undead near the cemetery.
Some of them were dead humans, and some of them were indigenous people who had been expelled and killed.
Three skeleton wolves that had been dead for a long time gathered together. Their eyes were burning with soul fire, full of resentment towards the living.
It was almost evening now.
Night was approaching, and the number of undead that came back to life increased. In the end, most of the undead that came out were skeletons, and there were already thousands of them. There were only about 100 guards in Quagmire Swamp Town. At this time, when they saw the undead army gathering, they were obviously nervous, and the number was still increasing.
"Damn it!"
"Why are there so many undead here suddenly?"
The gathered undead began to attack the town. They seemed to be affected by some kind of evil power, and their movements were even more agile than when they were alive. There were even some skeleton archers.
In just a short while, the guards of Quagmire Swamp Town had already died.
What made them feel even more uneasy was that their dead comrades were resurrected in a very short time and became terrifying ghouls!
"No!"
Filo's expression was extremely ugly as he muttered, "The dead shouldn't be resurrected so quickly, and they shouldn't be turned into ghouls!"
"Only an undead plague can cause something like this to happen!"
As if to confirm his words, not long after the attack on the town walls began, the town began to panic, and screams of agony began to fill the air.
Filo was certain that not a single undead had managed to sneak into the town, so he seemed to have sensed something. His expression was ashen as he rushed down from the walls.
As expected!
He saw a corrupted ghoul. An old man in his fifties had already become a vicious monster.
Filo hefted his heavy hammer and charged forward. If he allowed the ghouls to attack freely, the entire town would become a playground for the undead. The priests of this world were not weak spellcasters. Most of them used warhammers and warhammers, and they wore medium armor or heavy armor. Even though they were not as proficient in martial arts as warriors, they were still quite fierce in melee combat.
Any priest was capable of both tanking and fighting!
"Die! Filthy undead! "
The ghouls did not last long under Filo's attacks, especially after the priest cast a divine spell. However, the situation was getting worse little by little because more and more ghouls were appearing.
One, two, three … …
The dead civilians were quickly resurrected and became ghouls again. What was even more disturbing was that some professions had turned into even more terrifying ghouls after they died.
These evil creatures would automatically add the 'ghoul touch' ability to their attacks. Normal warriors would not be able to resist them at all. Filo had already foreseen that the town would not last long, but he still gritted his teeth and held on because his only hope was that the Mordor city would quickly respond and send reinforcements.
It was as if his prayers had been answered.
In the darkness of the night, a few agile shadows quickly approached from the shoreline. They rushed into the undead army and killed more than ten enemies in the blink of an eye.
A young girl wearing silver-white armor appeared.
Ferro knew who she was. She was Annalynne from Amber City, a powerful Holy Spirit Priest.
Annalynne's appearance had changed greatly compared to before. At this moment, she frowned and looked at the rapidly corrupted ghouls in front of her. She muttered, "Undead plague? There must be a Lich or a high-grade undead nearby! Send people out to find the source of the plague! "
After that, she rushed forward with her heavy flail.
This was a long-planned attack. The plague had already seeped into the bodies of the town's residents. After the undead attacked, a large number of civilians quickly died and turned into ghouls.
The priests began to cast divine spells to purify and dispel the disease.
However, the outbreak of the plague was too sudden. More than 70% of the civilians were already showing signs of turning into zombies. They could only save about 20% of them.
