Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

And Yi Guang, as the most unique existence among the seven swordsmen, kept using a particularly conspicuous big spear, and the golden flame wrapped around his body like a layer of armor also drew a lot of hatred for him.With his flamboyant appearance, it is taken for granted that he is the most powerful leading brother in the French Legion, and more than 80.00% of the attacks along the way are all directed towards his face.Fortunately, he is indeed the strongest in the entire French Legion. The release of magic power, chaos spells, miracles of the Protoss, and the combination of multiple skills allow him to face the overwhelming Kasas soldiers and all kinds of brilliant people who are ridiculed by him. It is quite easy to deal with the spear in the back.

And although he took most of the damage alone, the other brothers of the "Fran's Undead Team" are also very righteous.Everyone has a degree of offense and defense, and the Fran's great sword cooperates with the wolf's sword to walk the sky, so Yi Guang's pressure is not as great as it seems.However, under Kasas' crowd tactics, Yi Guang and the others still fought hard for several hours before finally gaining control of the arrow rests on both sides.

"Unexpectedly, we have wasted so much time just to take down this arrow rest." The reinforcements of the French Legion entered the fortress called the Tomb, and after completing the control of this area, Yi Guang Looking at the road ahead, he sighed, "The road ahead is not easy..."

"That has to go, this is our duty and our path."

Chapter 296 "Overlord"'s Confession

Facts have proved that Yi Guang and others were too optimistic about the situation before.

After successfully occupying the entrance of the tomb, the undead team's offensive fell into a stalemate, and the army Kasas gathered in the tomb was larger and stronger than expected.At the same time, the atmosphere of the abyss in the tomb became stronger after that day, and a certain change from the core area of ​​the tomb affected the soldiers in the entire Kasas tomb.Their individual strength has improved significantly, and some of them even have the ability to compete with the swordsmen of the undead team.Not only that, but some kind of creepy changes appeared in their bodies. Their skin began to become decayed and festered, but their movements showed no sign of slowness or injury at all. Even Yi Guang found that their recovery ability was still weak. It gradually became stronger.

It's like an undead who drank the elemental bottle after being injured, can recover quickly and return to the battlefield.

"Here, they are beginning to transform into the dead..."

After another fruitless attack, Yiguang holds a meeting with the rest of the undead team.After gathering everyone's observations and conjectures, they came up with an extremely bad theory, that is, the "Overlord"'s transformation ritual has slowly begun to show results.With the help of some kind of spell from the abyss, the physical characteristics of the soldiers under the "Overlord" began to break away from the category of the living, and transformed into the concept of the "dead".

That is the same cursed existence as the undead. The first "dead", "Tomb King" Nite once made a prophecy that these beings will rule the world after the flames are extinguished. The "Overlord" believed in this ancient prophecy ten thousand years ago, and was therefore bewitched by the power of Londor. Now, he begins to realize his ambition, and he and his legion will become the last "dead" and "King of the Tomb" "The man in the prophecy.

"That's it, that's it!" In the central tomb of Kasas's tomb, the laughter of the "Overlord" echoed for a long time, "Power! Power beyond life and death, I feel it!"

Around the tomb, dozens of Kasas court magicians manipulated the dark power representing the abyss, and countless ancient runes floated ominous dark red light on the walls around the tomb.These dense incantations interlinked and intertwined to form an energy network, reverberating and intertwining throughout the entire tomb like a spider web, and finally concentrated on the cup in the center of the tomb that was made of gold and inlaid with countless precious gemstones.A dark red/breath rising like a flame emerged around the entire cup.

Under the reflection of the dark red aura, the cup emerged its silhouette in the dark tomb.After ignoring the gold base and gorgeous decoration, the main part of the cup is a creepy skull.This turned out to be the skull wine glass that is often associated with stories of tyrants in legends.

But it's normal, what the "Overlord" Warner has done can indeed be called a "tyrant".

"I succeeded! I succeeded! I am abandoning this fragile mortal body! Everything is the same as in the legend, the dead, this is the transformation of the dead, I succeeded!"

And "Overlord" Warnier stood in front of the cup, and what he was stepping on was the core distortion of the entire technique.He covered the cup with his hands, absorbing the dark red energy gushing out from the skull wine cup.His body was shrouded in this dark red light mist, his skin and flesh and blood began to slowly turn into gravel and flow to the ground, exposing the dense white bones in his body, but there was no pain or discomfort on his face expression.With a frenzied smile, he looked around at the crowd and saw that the Kasas practitioners and the soldiers guarding the main tomb also began to undergo the same changes as him, so he couldn't help but let out a smug laugh.

It's just that, in his rapid transformation, the laughter gradually changed from a man's hearty laugh to the heart-shattering noise after rubbing against an old bellows.At the same time, amidst the creepy laughter, Vornier's festering and rotten body began to grow bigger and bigger.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty Overlord. I don't know, how do you feel now, Your Majesty?"

But in this dark and terrifying atmosphere like a high-level meeting of undead natural disasters, there is a group of people who maintain a steadfast posture, and that is the believers of Londor.Regarding the fanaticism of the "Overlord" and the soldiers of Casas, they just watched with cold eyes.It wasn't until the "Overlord" completed the most important stage of the entire transformation ceremony that the head priest, Londal, smiled slightly at the "Overlord" Vornier, who had become a huge skeleton, and bowed.

"Feeling? Oh, do you still have to ask? Very good, I have never felt so good before." The "Overlord" Warnier, who has acquired a new posture, stretched his already huge body, "No way. Needless to say, my cooperation with you has been very successful. Now, I have successfully transformed into the last of the dead, and the day when I will rush out of this tomb and take revenge on those who resisted me is coming soon."

"Oh, is it?" The priests of Londor pretended to be very casual and said, "Then I wish His Majesty 'Overlord' his wish to be fulfilled."

"Of course! The Falan Undead Squad, they took advantage of my arrival and destroyed my kingdom. The Sword of the Dark Moon is chasing me, chasing and blocking me...I must take revenge on them!" The king's roar was in the tomb. echoed in the middle, "Now, I already have an army of the dead, and no one can stop me! Soon, Kasas's legion will conquer the entire continent again!"

"It's good to have a dream, Your Majesty." The priest of Londor suddenly sneered, "The premise is that you can leave here."

"What?!" Hearing these words, "Overlord" Wernier couldn't help being taken aback, "I just... ahhh!"

Before the "Overlord" Warnier, who had just been transformed into the deceased, realized the meaning of this sentence, he suddenly felt something was wrong.The dark red energy on the skull cup suddenly turned into black and white colors representing the "Abyss", and it no longer behaved like a rising flame, but like flowing water.The skull cup, which is the core of the magic circle, became like a spring in a very short time, and began to spew black "mud" to the surroundings continuously, and a white aura emerged faintly.

"What, what's going on!"

The "Overlord", who was still immersed in joy and dominance fantasies, suddenly became at a loss.And those court conjurers who were in charge of casting spells, after discovering that there was a problem with the entire magic circle, immediately prepared to stop and find out the reason.But soon they discovered in astonishment that their bodies seemed to have been controlled by this formation.They couldn't move their hands and feet with their own will at all. They were forcibly fixed in the state of casting spells by some powerful force, and the far-reaching abyssal power was summoned by their magic power through the formation.

"What did you do?! This is different from what you said!" The king of Kasas roared angrily. No matter how stupid he was, he finally discovered the fact that he was deceived. "How dare you Deceive me!"

"Deception? Oh, we didn't deceive you, Your Majesty." The priests of Londor calmly cast a protective spell around their group, "Everything is as agreed, we will transform you For the sake of the dead, you shall have eternity."

"Eternity?!" His body was completely soaked by the "black mud", and the "Overlord" couldn't help feeling anxious, his actions became more and more violent, "It's devouring me, you call this 'eternity'? "

"Please don't resist him, and become one with it, Your Majesty." Black flames burned around the priests of Londor, "You, and all the people in this tomb, will become one in this abyss! You will be part of it, and this is eternity! Your dedication will create us a new, powerful 'Lord of the Abyss'!"

As the black flames completely enveloped the bodies of those people, the priests of Londor disappeared into the tomb, leaving only their last words, which echoed in the ears of "Overlord" Vornier.

"The future belongs to us, and everything is sacrificed to the abyss!"

"No! You liars!"

Seeing the disappearance of the priests of Londor, the "Overlord" let out a hysterical roar.But it didn't help. The power of the abyss soon expanded to the entire tomb.The power of the abyss surging like black mud swallowed all the Kasas conjurers in the tomb in an instant, and soon only the "Overlord" who had acquired a huge body looked helplessly at the abyss that gradually submerged him.

"No, it shouldn't be like this! I am Vornier! I am the king who conquers everything!"

The huge skeleton of the deceased was struggling desperately in the tomb swallowed by the black mud, like a drowning man about to drown.Now he no longer has the so-called ambition and hegemony in his heart, nor the so-called kingly spirit.His current thoughts are extremely simple but firm - as simple as any ordinary person.

Live!

However, everything is in vain, even if it is transformed into a powerful dead body, it cannot resist the direct erosion of the abyss.Londor's deliberate use was to offer Vornier and his legion as sacrifices, so that the abyss would breed a powerful king who surpassed the "king of the abyss" Manus back then.Londauer had planned for this for several years, so how could he leave a chance for him to escape?

"What have I done... I destroyed it with my own hands, my Kasas!"

After all attempts failed to work, the king who had always been the only one who didn't even pay attention to gods and demons was suddenly filled with completely annihilated fear and endless regret.Just like in the legend, at the moment when he was about to die completely, the light and shadow of his life emerged in the heart of the king of Kasas.

The innocent childhood, the high-spirited youth, the smug enthronement ceremony, the ambitious campaign, and the pile of bones on the battlefield... The arrogant and cruel past flashed before the eyes of this tyrant, even if he became the dead. Unable to shed tears, he finally felt a sadness coming from his heart and lungs.

Then, he saw the bracelet on the back of his hand emitting a faint light.That was proof of his blasphemy, and it was a tool he looted from the temple of the clergyman in an attempt to control the power of the abyss.

He never believed in gods, and since he became sensible, he has never prayed again...

But now, he suddenly wanted to pray, to repent.He suddenly felt that all of this was a punishment from the gods.

"God, please save me, save my subjects! Sinner Warnier, please forgive me!"

Chapter 297 Retreat as a last resort

According to legend, the "Overlord" Vaughnir of Casas disrespected the gods all his life and never prayed, but at the end of his life, he made the only prayer in his life, and God immediately answered him.Is this mercy?Or is it sarcasm?No one could tell, anyway, at the moment when the "Overlord" was about to completely sink into the abyss, a golden light rose from the three "sacred objects" on the "Overlord", in the tomb that had been submerged by the black abyss Very prominent in the middle.

Like a wave, the golden light broke through the abyss and swept across the entire tomb in an instant.Those runes exuding the breath of the abyss were shattered in an instant, but the bone cup gushing black mud still continuously summoned the power of the abyss, and overflowed to the outside world through the open door of the tomb.

The magic circle that Londor passed through was only the gate to the abyss. Once the gate was opened, it could no longer be closed.

However, the effect of the golden light didn't seem to be just to destroy the magic circle that summoned the abyss. It soon enveloped the entire tomb like a wave of water, and soon completely enveloped it.From the outside, it looks like a golden cocoon, with "Overlord" Warner as the core, surrounding and shrinking the tomb.

"This, what is this..." Seeing the increasingly powerful rays of light around him, the "Overlord" who felt that the abyss under him temporarily stopped pulling on him was full of doubts, "What are these lights doing? ?!"

The light surrounding the tomb is getting brighter and brighter, but the range is getting smaller and smaller.Soon, they were completely gathered on the bone cup in the center of the tomb, and even the entire space of the tomb seemed to be distorted by the light.And the "Overlord" Warner, who saw this scene, immediately understood the intention of these rays of light.

It wants to imprison itself and exile itself together with the power of the abyss.

"No! Let me out! This is not my wish!" The desperate "Overlord" uttered a final cry, "I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled! Londor, gods, I curse you! I will be here forever In the captivity of the Lord, curse you forever!"

However, the shout of "Overlord" Warnier did not cause any changes. The sacred light drove the entire space to continue to shrink at the original speed, and finally the entire tomb was compressed into a small "point", and finally disappeared there. In a golden goblet made of skulls.The surroundings returned to calm, and there was no longer any energy from the abyss or the light of the gods. The previous accident was quickly wiped out in the disappearing light like a beach on the seashore.No one will know what kind of story happened here. There is only an empty tomb with a gold-cast skull wine cup standing alone in the center.

This is the last thing left in the world of the unparalleled overlord named "Overlord".In this tomb, the only thing that can be called a "funeral object".It's just that its owner is no longer there.

"Damn it, we can't stand it here!"

Yi Guang no longer knew how many times he had swung his spear, because the numbers had no meaning at all.Although we don't know what kind of changes happened inside this tomb, there is no doubt that the "eternity" that "Overlord" Warnier hoped for has gradually become a reality.These Kasas soldiers can no longer be called human beings.They have become the real "dead", possessing force enough to pose a threat to the "Fran's Undead Squad" and the ability of "immortality" enough to rival the undead.

At the same time, for some reason, the abyssal energy in this tomb became extremely powerful not long after these guys showed the characteristics of the "dead".Even the members of the undead team who have been with the power of the abyss all year round feel palpitations at the intensity of the power of the abyss.At the same time, the occurrence of this situation also greatly hindered the progress of Yi Guang and others' strategy.

"We must retreat, or we will all die here..."

The battle that I thought could be won by myself and others was greatly delayed.Facing the Kasas Legion that has gradually transformed into the "dead", Yi Guang and others began to be gradually powerless to fight.With only eight undead swordsmen plus a thousand troops, it is indeed a bit pale and powerless to face such an army of Kasas.Even, there have been "real" casualties in the undead team - three members of the undead team have lost their minds due to too many deaths and resurrections, and were regarded as executions by Yi Guang and others.There is also a member of the undead team who was infected due to long-term exposure to abyssal energy, causing himself to become abyssal. Yi Guang failed to purify it with flames, resulting in complete annihilation.

Half of the swordsmen of the Undead Squad, who are the strongest in the entire French army, have been lost, not to mention the ghosts and grunts of the French below. Up to now, less than half of the army of thousands of people is left.The undead are better, at least they can be resurrected, but the Gulus only have one life.Even for those undead, the loss of mind brought about by the abyss and constant death makes them suffer and even go completely mad or self-destruct.

Up to now, almost half a month has passed since the battle to capture the tomb of Kasas, and everyone in the Falan Undead Team has already begun to think about quitting.But now, Hawkwood expressed this idea during the interval of the truce and put it on the bright side.

"Even if we don't die, we will collapse crazily because of the abyss or the constant resurrection!" Hawkwood roared, "Even if it is for the crusade against the abyss, this is a meaningless sacrifice. A large-scale attack must wait for a large army to come conduct!"

"Lanza, what's your opinion?" Caspar looked at Hawkwood and then at Yi Guang, "You are not undead, your fatigue and pain are far above ours. So it's up to you Come to choose, continue to fight or retreat."

"I……"

Yi Guang rubbed his eyebrows, his eyes were full of exhaustion.He was also very tired, but the current situation made him hesitate.On the one hand, the entire army has indeed reached a certain limit. The number of Casas stationed in this tomb is far more than that of the French Legion. Now they have become "dead" The combat power and recovery ability of the undead, the advantages obtained by relying on the power of the undead are gone.Under such circumstances, Yi Guang also felt that it was hopeless to continue fighting.

At the same time, as Pascal said, besides those gollums, Yiguang is the only non-undead member of the undead team.Although he is indeed the strongest fighting force in the entire team, it doesn't mean that Yi Guang has an easy life on the battlefield.Without the ability of the undead to be constantly resurrected, Yi Guang needs to pay more attention to his own safety than others. This is not an easy task, especially on the premise that he has enough hatred for the entire team.

Everyone has to admit that during the half-month-long battle, Yi Guang was the well-deserved "best player in the game", and he was undoubtedly the most stressed in the whole team.This kind of pressure comes not only from the enemy, but also from himself - to kill the comrades who lost their minds and were eroded by the abyss and became mad, and "purified" them with flames.This sounds easy, but as a fighter who has already developed a sense of belonging to the "Fran's Undead Squad", Yi Guang must personally wipe out those people who used to talk and laugh with him, which is a kind of torture in itself.

If it was Yi Guang who had just entered this world, facing such a thing, he would probably have a mental breakdown.But now, after two years of hell in the Undead Squad, he had come to his senses.Cruel perhaps, but there was no question that he was beginning to understand the weight of what was on his hands.Even if he didn't take this burden voluntarily, he would still carry it on.

After constantly beheading the enemies and his mad comrades, Yi Guang had already realized something in his heart.After all, people cannot always be self-willed. The spear in the soldier's hand will always become more fierce after being weighted by something.

And now, it's time to make your own choice, between the present and the future.

"In today's situation, leaving here and waiting for the captain's reinforcements is naturally the best choice." Yi Guang said slowly, "However, those guys in Kasas are undergoing terrible changes all the time. Their power , are constantly getting stronger, the longer it takes, the stronger they will become when we come next time..."

"Exactly, that's why we hesitated too." Casper nodded, "So no matter what choice you make, we won't blame you, because we also think so in our hearts. It's not playing football, It’s just that you are worthy of this right to choose, and you have done enough in this war.”

"You're giving me a big problem."

Yi Guang sighed, and then looked at the ghost of Fran with broken equipment and Gulu who was covered with wounds behind him, feeling confused again.After a long time, he finally showed a helpless smile, "Forget it, even if we all die here, it's just a meaningless sacrifice. Everyone, let's retreat."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

The other three Fran undead swordsmen present at the scene even passed Yi Guang's decision, so Fran's army quickly withdrew from the Kasas tomb.Only a small number of troops were left, guarding the area near the bridge as the next stronghold for large troops to attack here.And the evacuated French Legion did not really leave, they repatriated the "Dark Moon Sword".Set up camp around the tomb, guarding the gate of this tomb, preventing the Khasas Legion from rushing out of here.

Author's message:

PS: Push the book "I, Xingyue, Cartoonist!" "

I originally thought this was a world like an ordinary urban novel... It's good to draw comics by yourself and travel.But tell me, what happened to this magician called "Emiya Kiritsugu" who jumped on my face?Who changed the settings?

Chapter 298 The End of the War

The protracted confrontation began.

The retreat of the French Legion from Casas' tomb represented the advance of Casas' power.Those Kasas fighters who had been transformed into the dead were naturally unwilling to be trapped in this fortress-like catacomb that had now been turned into a huge prison. They charged desperately and wanted to leave this cage.As for the French Undead Squad, it is natural to stop these skeleton fighters who can no longer be called human beings.

After all, apart from the endless army of the dead, this catacomb is also filled with the breath of the abyss.Although the main body of the abyss has been sealed by the sacred objects he plundered along with the "Overlord" itself, there is still extremely powerful abyssal power scattered throughout the tomb.As the crusaders of the abyss, the Falan Undead Squad will never allow anything in it to escape to the outside world, no matter if it is a living thing or a dead thing.

This is a contradiction that is absolutely impossible to alleviate. Even if the tomb is evacuated due to heavy losses of personnel, Faran's army will not give up the blockade of the tomb.

The "Dark Moon Sword" that was originally stationed here gradually withdrew to the outskirts of the forest after the French Legion arrived here.This was proposed by the people of Faran - "Ordinary human beings, it is better not to get involved in the battle of the abyss. Although you have the protection of the God of the Dark Moon, you should be just in case." For this reason, Faran Take the initiative to let the "Dark Moon Sword" evacuate to the outskirts of the forest.Although no matter how you look at it, it is better to keep the "Dark Moon Sword" together to defend against the enemy, but for the undead in Faran, this is a matter of principle.

"Walking on the edge of the abyss, as long as we are enough." This is what the fighters of Faran said, and they have always done so.

After the French Legion withdrew, the Kassians tried many times to break out of the new encirclement net formed by the French Legion, which put enormous pressure on the undead team.Fortunately, they failed in the end. Four undead members, plus more than 600 French legions, barely held the road to the outside world.

But then, two things happened successively enough to affect the situation of the battle, which greatly relieved the pressure on the French Legion.

The "Overlord" Warnier, along with his court conjurers and elite guards, suddenly disappeared in his tomb, and his whereabouts were unknown, which dealt a huge blow to the morale of the Casas army.Most of these soldiers came here under the instigation of the "Overlord" Vornier. They firmly believed that their king would lead them to the eternal kingdom he promised.Today, they have been transformed into what they are by unknown magic, and they can no longer even be called human beings.And the king who promised them suddenly disappeared in front of them.The promise of the "eternal kingdom" was like bubbles floating in the air, and it was shattered with a light poke.

After unsuccessfully searching for the king's whereabouts many times, confusion, anger, grief... all kinds of emotions began to pervade Kasas's tomb.

"King, abandoned us..."
