South of the Dark Moon.
The Blue Lava Estate's army had crossed Town Soto and came to the vicinity of Town Yankou.
Looking at the deserted town that was once an ancient battlefield in front of him, the Blue Lava Estate Lord Titan frowned, "According to the captives in Town Soto, this place was eroded by death qi and the power of the dead and became a cursed land?"
Next to Titan was Nader, the legion commander of the main legion, the Azure Legion. The legion commander said disapprovingly, "The so-called cursed land is just a few undead creatures. Can it still pose a threat to our army? As long as our army walks over, we can crush those skeletons into powder just by moving our feet. "
The legion commander of the Double-headed Dragon Legion, Mallorca, also said, "Sir Titan, if we want to avoid Town Yankou, we can only take the steep mountain road, then we must take a big detour. Considering the terrain and demonic beasts, we will inevitably suffer some unnecessary losses. Moreover, the original date of besieging the Dark Moon as agreed with the Red Spirit Lord will also be delayed."
The capital envoy, Diak, who was on the side, was a little anxious, "Sir Titan, I think we should go directly through Town Yankou. The siege of the Dark Moon this time is a great achievement. If the credit is taken by Lord Josh alone, wouldn't the Blue Lava Estate lose face?"
As the capital's envoy and also the military governor, this unsuspenseful war was the best opportunity to make meritorious service. Diak struggled to get this position of envoy, so he was naturally worried that the credit would slip away.
"Josh? That guy is very cunning. He won't easily fight the Dark Moon. " Titan smiled confidently and shook his head. Josh was the same as him. They both had the intention to preserve their strength. They would not let their elite soldiers fight the Dark Moon's main force easily. As long as they joined forces and attacked from both sides, even if the Dark Moon held the city, their losses would be much smaller.
However, Titan did not expect that Jía would take the initiative to attack with fewer enemies. He did not expect that Josh's sure-win battle would fail.
At present, Josh was seriously injured and unconscious. He was being taken care of by Kanita. Kanita was also making decisions on all matters of the Red Spirit Estate for the time being.
Seeing that Titan didn't seem to be in a hurry to march, Diak thought, "Speaking of undead, the subordinate I brought this time, Sulfur, happens to be proficient in undead magic. Sir might as well listen to his opinion."
Diak's reaction was expected by Titan. He nodded and said, "I have long heard of the reputation of this Master Glass. I have the same intention."
Diak quickly summoned Sulfur. Facing Titan's inquiry, Sulfur seemed quite confident, "Sir lord, this town was originally a famous ancient battlefield. There are many powerful spirits buried in it. In theory, if they are all transformed into undead creatures, it is indeed quite difficult to deal with. However, many spirits have extremely powerful soul power when they were alive. Unless there is a magician who is close to the Demon Overlord level and is extremely proficient in undead magic, it is possible to use these truly powerful spirits. Such a powerful necromancer … … As far as I know, you can't even find one in the entire Demon Realm. "
Since the disappearance of the legendary undead magician of the Bloody Empire 2000 years ago, undead magic, as a branch of dark magic, had gradually declined in recent years. Looking at the current Demon Realm, to be proficient in undead magic and close to the Demon Overlord or Demon Overlord powerhouse, not to mention Sulfur, even Titan had never heard of it.
Will there be such a powerhouse in the Dark Moon Estate? One could easily know the answer with one's thumb.
"Are you sure?" Nader asked.
"Sir Nader has experienced hundreds of battles and is famous far and wide. When it comes to fighting, I am definitely far inferior to sir. However, when it comes to undead magic, I'm afraid there is no one in the entire Fallen Angel Empire who has more research than me. " Speaking up to this point, Sulfur revealed a strong sense of confidence. He had indeed put in a lot of hard work in researching this path.
Titan nodded, "This is a very important judgment. It seems that Sir Diak and Master Sulfur will definitely contribute a lot to defeating the Dark Moon this time."
In fact, when Titan heard Mallorca's words just now, he had already made up his mind to pass through Town Yankou directly. This pretense was just to find a way to give more credit to Diak. Diak was a direct descendant of the royal family. Judging from the situation of being a special envoy this time, his future must be good. It was better to do him a favor so that the capital could take care of him in the future.
"Thank you, sir lord!" Diak was overjoyed, and he deliberately showed his ability to analyze, "Since they are just some insignificant low-level undead creatures, why is Town Yankou classified as a 'cursed land' by the Dark Moon? They even moved all the residents to Town Soto? I think there is a mystery in this. "
This sentence really reminded Titan. Thinking of the rapid economic development of the Dark Moon recently, his heart moved.
Mallorca had already reacted, "Could it be some kind of base of the Dark Moon or a hidden place of wealth?"
"Pass down the order. The army will advance directly through Town Yankou. If there is really a discovery later, Mallorca, you will stay with a team." Titan glanced at Diak and smiled, "As for Sir Diak, you will naturally be included."
Diak was full of joy. He quickly thanked Titan and was secretly proud of his wisdom.
In this way, the Blue Lava Army advanced straight toward Town Yankou.
When they approached the area of Town Yankou, they felt that the temperature was inexplicably lower by a few degrees. The surroundings were filled with a gloomy and cold atmosphere. The soldiers also seemed a little cautious. They advanced cautiously under Titan's orders.
Since Town Yankou was originally an ancient battlefield where countless souls were buried, plus there were rumors of a small group of low-level undead creatures, Titan did not take this seriously. Instead, he was very interested in what might be "hidden" in this cursed land designated by the Dark Moon.
Just when the Blue Lava Army passed through the ancient battlefield of Town Yankou, a large amount of gray mist suddenly appeared. The road under their feet seemed to be all messed up. It was impossible to see the road ahead at all.
"What's going on?" Titan and others were taken aback. Even the demonic horse under them began to become uneasy as if it was full of fear.
"Could it be … the Mist of the Netherworld?" Sulfur looked surprised, "It can make the undead creatures exert a stronger combat power in it, but … this is a high-level undead magic that has been lost for more than 1000 years."
At this time, the messenger soldier hurriedly reported, "Sir lord, there are a large number of undead creatures in front!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the screams of the soldiers could be vaguely heard in the mist ahead. Not only that, someone reported that there was also a large amount of mist behind them. Even the retreat route was gone.
Titan was taken aback. He quickly reined the demonic horse under him and shouted, "Order the army to stop advancing immediately and prepare for battle!"
When Titan led Mallorca and the others to the front, they saw that there were countless staggering figures in the fog. They tried their best to see, but they could only see what seemed to be skeletons. They did not know how many there were, and they did not know if there were any higher-level Undead creatures hidden among them.
These are "just a few" undead? It's simply an army! Nader, who said this earlier, couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Although they were only the lowest level of skeleton soldiers, the combat power of these skeletons seemed to be much stronger than what Titan knew, probably due to the Mist of the Netherworld. Moreover, the undead didn't feel any pain. After a skeleton had half of its body cut off by a soldier, it still used the rusty machete in its hand to cut off the opponent's feet.
Facing such a terrifying enemy, the morale of the army was greatly affected. Titan made a prompt decision and ordered the elite Ice Blue Magician Legion to be dispatched. The magician legion was the strongest "special force" of the Blue Lava Army. In the general estate army, it was good enough to have a magician team of dozens or hundreds of people. However, Titan spared no effort and spent a lot of money to build a team of 600 magicians. He named it the official legion and called it the Ice Blue Magician Legion.
In the magician legion, most of them were Intermediate Demons, and there were relatively few Higher Demons. The legion commander was a Great Demon King-level fire magician named Thuram. Although the individual combat power of these magicians was not very strong, when they gathered together, especially on the battlefield, the power they exerted was absolutely quite amazing.
At Thuram's command, wind blades, icicles, and fireballs flew toward the undead like hailstones. This kind of large-scale concentrated magic attack was far more destructive to the skeletons than cold weapons, and a single hit was enough to kill a large number of them.
Thuram chanted quickly and waved the magic wand in his hand. A large number of burning meteorites fell from the sky. The lethality and area of this [Meteor Shower] were great. Within dozens of meters, there were burning skeletal remains.
However, the skeletons did not have the slightest fear. Many of them still moved forward with their remains, making the soldiers tremble.
Just as the Ice Blue Mage Legion was doing their best to shatter and block the attacks of the skeletons, a strange magical fluctuation suddenly appeared in the mist. Immediately afterward, colorful rays of light lit up, and countless rays of magical light rushed out. The area of attack was far larger than the Ice Blue Mage Legion.
The Blue Lava Army in front was caught off guard. Wherever the light passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere. There were constant screams, and many soldiers were killed.
"So many magic waves? Does the enemy also have a magician legion? " Titan was taken aback. He couldn't be bothered to be polite and shouted to Sulfur, "How long will it take to dispel this Mist of the Netherworld?"
"A few more minutes." Sulfur was using a strange "paint" to draw a strange magic circle on the ground. This "paint" was the magic essence that he had carefully researched. It was very expensive, but the situation was urgent now. He guaranteed that there would be no problem previously, so he couldn't care so much at the moment.
"Frontline army, retreat! Erect shields! Use bows and arrows to fight back against the enemy! " Nader was already commanding the soldiers to be on guard. Thuram was also ordering the magician legion to carry out coordinated attacks, but the effect of bows and arrows was not good. Besides, the number of magician legion was limited after all. They might be able to play a key role at some specific moments, but it was beyond their power to be the main force to destroy the enemy head-on now.
Soon, many magicians had exhausted their magic power. They took out the prepared spirit power recovery potion and consumed it. The frontline had begun to engage in a large-scale melee. The casualties of the Blue Lava Army increased sharply. As for the undead, they were already dead, so they didn't care about casualties. The terrifying thing was that the skeletons in the mist seemed to be endless, and there were large magic flames mixed in from time to time.
The magic circle drawn by Sulfur finally played a role. The Mist of the Netherworld gradually thinned, but the clarity of sight greatly increased the fear of the Blue Lava Army.
Undead!
An endless sea of undead!
The Blue Lava Estate was located in the south of the Dark Moon. It was not adjacent to the Shadow Empire like the Red Spirit Estate. There were only some small estates in the Fallen Angel Empire nearby. The Dead Sea was all the way to the south, so there was no worry. Therefore, although the overall strength was inferior to the Red Spirit Estate, the Blue Lava Estate dispatched 100,000 troops this time, which was more than 10,000 more than the Red Spirit Estate. The main legion, "Azure" and the elite legion, "Double-headed Dragon" were all dispatched, leaving only a few garrison troops. They intended to show off their merits to the capital.
Anyway, this was a battle with no chance of defeat. They could crush the Dark Moon with just the number of people!
However, the advantage of the number of people that Titan relied on became an absolute disadvantage in this sea of undead. This group of undead was estimated to be at least 600,000 to 700,000. They surrounded the entire Blue Lava Estate Army as if all the souls buried in the ancient battlefield had been resurrected!
The Ice Blue Magician Legion of the Blue Lava Estate also saw the true appearance of the enemies who released magic- Thousands of skeletons!
Skeleton … magician?
The lowest-level undead creature skeleton can actually cast magic!
It's simply unheard of!
However, the magic of these skeleton magicians could not change like real people. They could only cast a single elemental attack. After casting it once, they had to recover for a period of time before launching the next round of attack.
The shock of the undead army to the Blue Lava Estate was not only the skeleton magicians, but also the rows of skeleton soldiers riding demonic beast skeleton mounts at the back. Their combat power was obviously higher than the previous cannon fodder skeletons.
When did the skeleton soldiers also have cavalry?
In front of the cavalry, there were a dozen knights riding black horses and covered in black armor- The highest-level undead creature, terror knights!
Facing the highest achievement of undead magic, Sulfur's body trembled a little. It was unknown whether it was fear or excitement, and the soldiers of the Blue Lava Estate obviously only had fear left.
Titan never thought that he would fall into such a desperate situation. It was useless to regret now. He raised his voice and exhaled, "I'm the Lord of the Blue Lava Estate, Titan. Abbas. May I ask which powerful magician is controlling this undead army?"
"Jie Jie Jie Jie …" An unpleasant laughter rang out and spread throughout the battlefield. A figure appeared in front of the terror knight. His whole body was shrouded in a black cloak, and his face couldn't be seen clearly. He gave off an awe-inspiring feeling.
"Sir Great Necromancer, I've never seen such powerful magic power before," Titan complimented. "Today, my army is not trying to offend you. It's just that we have an urgent matter to attend to, so we wanted to pass by. Please give us this convenience. As a reward, I'll give you a satisfactory gift. Money, magic materials, magic tools are all yours to choose from."
The undead magician's gloomy voice sounded, "I only want one thing … that is your bodies. Tsk tsk tsk, so many fresh bodies. It's just enough to form a zombie army! And those magicians, my skeleton magician army can also expand! "
The other party blocked his words as soon as he came up. Titan's pupils suddenly contracted. It seems that a battle is inevitable today. With the comparison of the military power of both sides, coupled with the characteristics of the undead creatures, I'm afraid that my army is in danger of being annihilated. The only chance is to behead the undead magician. As long as the undead magician controlling the army is eliminated, the army will naturally disintegrate.
Before Titan could think more, the other party had already launched an attack. The skeleton army attacked the Blue Lava Estate Army from all directions. Under the command of Mallorca and Nader, the Blue Lava Estate Army formed a defensive circle formation. In front of the sea of skeletons that surged like a wave, the casualties of the Blue Lava Estate Army, whose morale had plummeted, skyrocketed. The circle formation began to shrink slowly.
At this moment, the magician legion began to cast the most powerful offensive magic toward the skeleton cavalry where the undead magician was. At the same time, several figures in the Blue Lava Estate Army rushed out. These figures were very powerful. They were all Demon King level or even Great Demon King level. Their target was the undead magician who commanded the army.
The skeletons reacted very quickly. Those figures were gradually drowned in the sea of white bones. Some of them didn't even have time to scream. The undead magician suddenly raised his head, and he saw Mallorca's figure appearing in the air. He was holding a greatsword and slashing down.
The previous magic attack and the commandos were just a cover to attract the firepower. Titan's strongest combat power, Mallorca of the early stage of the Demon Emperor, was the real killer move.
Mallorca had already used his full strength in this blow. A huge deep trench suddenly appeared on the ground. The surrounding terror knights were unstable under this powerful slash, and they fell down. The undead magician was caught off guard. He was slashed by the sword, and his body was suddenly torn apart.
Got it! Titan was overjoyed, but his smile quickly froze on his face. He saw Mallorca being engulfed by the black smoke emitted from the Necromancer's split body. He let out a shrill scream and rolled on the ground. Not long after, his breathing gradually weakened. Then, he strangely stood up like a puppet, his eyes emitting a faint light.
"Very good, early stage of the Demon Emperor level material. I will have one more powerful terror knight." The undead magician's chilling voice sounded in the throat of "Mallorca".
Titan, Nader and others were shocked. This undead magician actually killed Mallorca of the early stage of the Demon Emperor in close combat! Could it be an immortal body? In this way, doesn't it have no weaknesses?
The undead added a sentence as if he was talking to himself, "By the way, that lord should also be Demon Emperor level. That's great …"
Titan shuddered, and an unconcealable fear rose to his heart. He suddenly thought of what Sulfur said previously, "Unless there is a magician who is close to the Demon Overlord level, and he must be extremely proficient in undead magic, then it is possible to use these truly powerful heroic spirits." Then the opponent is at least the peak stage of the Demon Emperor? Or a Demon Overlord?
How can there be such a terrifying existence in the Dark Moon Realm!
If I don't escape from here today, I'm afraid I will really become a death slave enslaved by this terrifying magician. I immediately screamed, "Everyone, retreat and break through to the south!"
"It's too late. None of you can escape today." The creepy laughter was louder, and a large amount of gloomy mist began to fill the surroundings again. The entire sky became dark, and only the occasional light reflected the desperate and fearful eyes of the soldiers.
