Global Scourge

Chapter 171 The Skull of Ruins
For more than 20 days, the reason why he didn't use the head of the ruins was because he couldn't trust the evil spirit of Frostmourne.

He always felt like this evil spirit was digging a hole waiting for him to jump, so after getting the shield, he kept it aside and ignored it.

Now, maybe you can try it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zichen immediately ordered the skeleton soldiers to bring him a shield.

At this moment, the private message channel suddenly lit up.

When I opened it, it turned out that my younger brother was looking for him.

During this time, the younger brother also became a demigod and changed his name.

Because the priesthood he chose was Holy Light, he changed his name to Yanguang Sword and Shield.

Its meaning is to be the sword and shield of Yan Kingdom.

Zhu Xiaoling: "Brother, I finally know what the Americans are doing. They found three resource planes on the border with our country, and they are secretly mining them."

Three resource planes.

Seeing this, Zhu Zichen's eyes lit up.

He has long wanted to obtain a resource plane.

And recently, he has been planning how to attack the two resource planes that were robbed by the Hundred Clans Alliance.

But he has been worried about the problem of military strength.

After all, if you want your own resource plane, you definitely can't ask the people in the Secret Covenant Alliance to help, otherwise, there are definitely not enough points for two resource planes.

The main force of the Indestructible Guild was not suitable for battle because it had just finished fighting the Earth Alliance and its strength was still recovering.

This is too troublesome for the life race, and the recovery of troops is too slow.

And if you fight by yourself, you will definitely not be able to beat the Hundred Clans Alliance with more than 500 million troops.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I dozed off, my brother brought me a pillow.

It seems that this brother's pain is not in vain.

However, there are only three resource planes, which are a bit small and difficult to divide. After all, the National Defense Army claims to have millions of players.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zichen asked: "You boy, tell me, how do you want to divide?"

Zhu Xiaoling: "My brother still understands me. I can give my brother a resource plane, and I can also help my brother send troops, but after the matter is done, I need my brother to guard it by himself."

Hey, why is my brother so well all of a sudden?

He also sent troops for free to help attack the plane.

Zhu Zichen suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Tell me, is there a problem?"

"Haha... Sure enough, I can't hide it from my brother. The people of the resource plane, Meibang, have been operating it for a long time. There are tall walls and strong fortifications, so it is more difficult to fight."

Hearing this, Zhu Zichen was suddenly enlightened.

So that's the case. After all, in the National Defense Army, the younger brother is not a straight man. If the player loses too much, he will definitely be impeached, just like the previous army commander.

Therefore, on the most difficult plane to fight, the National Defense Army will only send a little force to contain the opponent's force.

And instead of giving up like this, it's better to take advantage of his brother.

After understanding the cause and effect, Zhu Zichen agreed.

To say that in the game world, the player who fought the most wars must have done his part.

Every day we are either in war or preparing for war, and we never stop.

In the more than 60 years in the game, there have been at least 20 large and small wars fought, with an average of one war every three years.

Having fought many battles, he naturally knows how to fight.

And at this stage, players are just beginning to become demigods. The so-called city defense facilities are just higher walls, traps and rolling stones, and there must be no high-level buildings such as mage towers.

Whether it's a plague war, a war of attrition, a siege for aid, etc., there are simply not too many tactics in his mind.

Soon, the younger brother sent the coordinates of the plane, and agreed on a time, 35 days later.

Because there are too many players in the National Defense Army, it is necessary to prepare time to open the plane channel uniformly.

Although Zhu Xiaoling is already a half-god, and has merged many planes of his confidantes, but after all, it is said that there are more than 100 million players, and it is impossible to merge all of them.

Zhu Zichen also quickly tested the time to open it, and found that it would take 25 days to open it, so he put it down for the time being.

The two brothers continued to chat for a while, then hung up the private chat.

At this time, the undead also came over with the head of the ruins.

For the sake of safety, Zhu Zichen temporarily put down Frostmourne, who had never left, and picked up the head of the ruins with his left hand.

For this kind of evil artifact, no matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious.

After a while, Zhu Zichen felt whispers, but compared to Frostmourne's whispers, the effect was much weaker.

After feeling that there was nothing wrong with it, he picked up Frostmourne with his left hand.

Immediately, the faint blue soul fire involuntarily appeared from his eyes.

Transparent ghostly heads emerged from Frostmourne and Head of Ruin, surrounding him.

The excited voice of the evil spirit began to ring in my ears.

"Haha... It's a two-piece suit, let's see how you can stop my corrosion!"

Soon, the evil spirit entered Zhu Zichen's mind again.

It was still dark all around.

But this time, the evil spirit quickly emitted a gloomy blue light, trying to illuminate the whole body.

"Hey... why is it still dark... Forget it, look at me, the despair of the ruins!"

...

...

...

"Hey, why is there no movement?"

"I don't believe it anymore, do it again, the despair of the ruins!"

"The despair of the ruins!"

"The ruins of..."

"ruins…"

The evil spirit didn't know how long it had passed. Anyway, the light on his body was no longer bright, and most of the evil energy had been consumed, but there was still no change or movement around him.

"Is this your plan..."

Suddenly, the surroundings turned white, and Zhu Zichen's figure appeared in front of the evil spirit.

Although at this time he was expressionless and his eyes were calm, he just looked at the evil spirit in front of him lightly.

But the evil felt an unprecedented irony and disappointment.

"Impossible...how is this possible..."

"As long as it is an intelligent creature, whether it is a murderous evil person or a pure-hearted good person, it will have its own selfishness and desires."

"What's more, the despair of the ruins can stir up the most desperate thing in your heart. How could you have no reaction!"

With an expression of disbelief on his face, the evil spirit began to shout hysterically.

You must know that the skull of ruins is the equipment that can most inspire despair among the four pieces of equipment of Alsace the Great.

How could it still be of no use to him.

After realizing this, the evil spirit immediately fell into a state of self-doubt.

"Despair? I have already experienced the greatest despair in life. What is more desperate?"

"The destruction of the blue star? Or the extermination of the human race? These... have nothing to do with me..."

Having said this, Zhu Zichen's eyes dimmed for a while.

He remembered that he was only eight years old when he first received news of his parents' plane crash.

And there is a four-year-old brother with him.

At that time, he had tasted all the emotions in the world and seen all the faces.

From despair, disappointment, the so-called relatives competed for insurance premiums, because of his persistence, he was kicked out of the house, he also ate garbage, and even grabbed bread with the dog.

In the end, his persistence earned him all the compensation, and those so-called relatives left disappointed one by one.

Since then, he has no feelings.

When facing Wang Jiamin, he always pretended that he had feelings.

But he knew that he had no feelings for her.

After a while, the evil spirit left disappointed again, and this time it consumed more evil energy, which made it need to be weak for a long time before it could come out to do things.

……

After withdrawing from the spiritual world, Zhu Zichen felt a powerful force in his whole body.

Then a rush of new memories was felt.

A memory of being named Glass.

Glass?Isn't that the undead that Lich mentioned about Stitches research?
Soon, he began to deepen this memory.

From memory, after the death of Emperor Alsace, Glass fled the Undead Continent with the head of the ruins.

But its luck was not very good, and it fled to another continent abandoned by God.

So it began to live in this God Abandoned Continent, and at the same time it was still studying stitch monsters.

But lacking resources and its subordinates, there is no doubt that it did not make any progress until it was killed by a passing god one day.

"I see…"

Soon, Zhu Zichen summoned Kenya and three wizards.

Kenya has been researching ways to revive her brother recently. She looks sloppy all over, with dark circles on her face, and the bloodshot eyes are also obvious.

After all, it has been 20 years, and he has also entered middle age. In more than ten years, he will die of old age.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zichen decided to take care of his priests.

"Kenya, is there any progress in the research?"

When Kenya heard the words, she managed to pull herself together, raised her head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you very much for my god's concern. After getting the zombie queen, I now have preliminary research results."

The lord level of the zombie is also the corpse king, so in order to divide the two corpse kings, Zhu Zichen renamed the other zombie king.

But because he needed to restore his divine power, he didn't light up the building of the corpse king.

And there is no war now, so the zombie king temporarily lent Kenya to study.

"Oh? What result?" Zhu Zichen asked with interest.

Speaking of research results, Kenya immediately became interested.

"I have researched a new kind of plague. Although it has lost its strong infection ability, and the resurrected zombies have stronger power and will not be bloodthirsty, but the brain has probably been damaged, only a few years old. Intellect, let alone memory."

What he didn't say was how many lives were sacrificed and how many resources were wasted in these 20 years of experimentation, but Zhu Zichen probably knew this in his heart.

However, every experiment and research is based on the success of countless failures, so he didn't say anything, and has been supporting Kenya's research.

Is it finally about to have a harvest?

"Not bad." Zhu Zichen nodded with satisfaction and continued: "You may need the memories I have about Glass."

After speaking, he used the head of the ruins to transmit the memory to the minds of Kenya and the three liches.

After a long time, Kenya, who closed his eyes to digest his memory, opened his eyes first, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect the plague to be used in this way. Thank you very much, the great god. I will study it right away."

After finishing speaking, Kenya said goodbye and left impatiently.

After harvesting Glass's memory, his understanding of the plague suddenly became clearer, and he also had ideas for improving the plague in his mind.

With this method, resurrecting brother will not be a dream.

After a while, the three liches also woke up one after another. After taking their leave, they were ready to improve the stitch monster.

Unlike Kenya, who is full of ideas about improving the plague, Lich is concerned about improving the Stitch Monster's information, so when they absorb memories, their focus is different.

So they now have the confidence to improve the stitches.

……

Three days passed quickly.

After recovering a thousand points of divine power, Zhu Zichen clicked on the corpse king's technology tree.

Summoning the corpse king takes seven days and a thousand basic resources.

It takes the same amount of time as Stitches, but doubles the resources.

Corpse King: Undead
Level: 2 (lord level)

HP: 450 (+40)

Attack: 80
Stamina: 45
Power: 40
Agility: 15
Mental Power: 0
Mana: 0
Skill: split (after being killed, it will split into two ordinary zombies to continue fighting)
Blood phagocytosis: Use skills to absorb the blood of the living races around you and restore your own blood volume

Encouragement of the corpse king: Increase the attack power of nearby zombies and poisonous corpses
It is also at the lord level, but compared with the Stitch Monster, the Corpse King has lower blood volume, but the attack is much higher, and the third skill is more suitable for war.

But it's strange, why only zombies and poisonous corpses are promoted, and ghouls and stitch monsters are gone.

But three days later, after the corpse king crawled out of the cemetery, Zhu Zichen probably understood what was going on.

The corpse king is about two meters tall, and his whole body is also covered in tattered clothes, which is similar to the enlarged version of the zombie.

But the Stitching Monster is a big fat man, with many deformed arms and heads growing out of his body, like a dozen corpses stitched together.

But yes, summoning a stitch monster requires ten corpses, but the Corpse King only needs one corpse.

In terms of one-on-one combat effectiveness, the Corpse King may not be as good as the Stitch Monster, but in team combat, the Corpse King is more effective than the Stitch Monster.

Moreover, the corpse king looks very much like a zombie and a poisonous corpse. The former is almost an enlarged version of the latter, no wonder it can be encouraged.

This skill can probably increase the attack power of zombies and poisonous corpses by 20.00%.

And ghouls and stitch monsters don't seem to be the same species at all.

These two should be added to the undead sequence later.

After studying the undead, Zhu Zichen continued to increase the upper limit of divine power.

The time is fast, and it will be 35 days later.

In front of a stone with a diameter of about one meter, a third-level plane passage with a diameter of one kilometer appeared.

And this stone is the breaking stone.

It was he who moved from the Earth Alliance.

At the same time, many things were brought in, the most important of which was the high-level mage tower that was being built.

However, because too many high-level resources were needed, the construction stopped halfway through.

This is why Zhu Zichen has been planning the resource plane.

Because resources are severely lacking, especially high-level resources.

All the high-level resources squeezed from the Earth Alliance have been invested, leaving two to three thousand for backup.

At this time, there are 200 million undead army waiting in front of the plane passage.

Among them, there are [-] skeleton generals with a height of more than three meters and full body armor.

The iron armor was made by Zhu Zichen for Links.

And behind the skeleton general, there are 34 skeleton warriors.

Then there are a thousand zombie kings and more than 50 million zombie poisonous corpses.

Due to time reasons, the corpse king only summoned a thousand.

On both sides of the army are 40 ghouls.

Because he discovered that the mobility of ghouls can play a powerful role in war, so he summoned so many.

However, because summoning ghouls requires one hundred basic resources each, most of the resources obtained from the Earth Alliance are invested here.

The skeleton shooter and skeleton mage are scattered and crossed in the team.

At the end of the team were two hundred long-armed catapults, three hundred siege ladders, and fifty siege vehicles.

And there are 30 ghosts floating in the sky.

As for the skeleton soldiers, they were arranged by him to the end, as backup units.
