The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 746 Taking the Initiative
The continuous flares made it impossible for the undead to find any chance.
The fearless skeletons during the day could not even get close to the walls of Shenmu City. At night, the undead directly dispatched the vampire troops, one of the trump cards.
Although the strength of this vampire unit is not top-notch, it is not bad.
At least, they all have titles, and there are many vampire counts.
After discovering that they could not launch a sneak attack, the undead honestly withdrew all the vampires, after all, the flying troops of humans and elves had not moved yet.
Another long pause, the undead did not continue to move throughout the first half of the night.
Lena had no choice. The biggest advantage of the undead was that they did not need to rest, but humans and elves could not.
If the soldiers were not arranged to rest in rotation, they would really fall into the trap of the undead.
Of course, if they rested in rotation, it would be inevitable that half of the people would not be able to enter the defensive position.
In the second half of the night, the undead launched an attack on Shenmu City again.
This time, the attack was still launched from the air, but instead of using vampires, a large number of ghosts and spirits were used.
The biggest feature of ghost-type undead is that they have extremely strong immunity to physical damage.
Even a level 3 ghost has a 50% chance of being completely immune to physical damage.
There are also gains and losses. Ghosts need to bear additional spell damage, especially fire spells, which will cause an additional 50% damage to ghosts.
Moreover, the health of level 3 ghosts is too low, and they cannot withstand the long-range attacks of high-level shooters.
The undead simply gave up the level 3 ghosts and sent out level 4 ghosts and level 5 ghosts.
In addition to having extremely strong physical immunity, these two things also have strong life recovery ability and close-range group attack ability.
Although the ghost attributes are not as good as vampires, they can rely on their strong physical immunity, and the threat is much greater than that of vampires.
In Shenmu City, the main magic output is only priests and druids.
These people, added up to more than 1,000, if they take turns to rest, there are only more than 500 people on duty.
The magic output of more than 500 people is very high, but it is not enough to block the entire sky.
As for the magic shooters, they are not professional mages and have limited mana.
The daytime battle has consumed too much mana, and Lena has basically arranged for them to rest.
Of course, the elves are not without any solution, but they just need to dispatch some high-level troops.
Before the high-level undead soldiers appeared, they took the lead in using high-level warriors, which was already at a disadvantage.
The 20 fairy dragons left by the elves showed their amazing magic skills.
It is not an exaggeration at all. For high-level spells that consume a lot of energy for high-level mages, these purple dragons use them as easily as drinking water.
For example, they can use spells of level 4 or above such as chain lightning, hellfire, and ice storm continuously.
The only embarrassing thing is that they may use several high-level spells in a row.
But it is also possible to release several fireballs, lightning bolts, etc. in succession.
It is not that this kind of spell has no effect, but one fireball kills one ghost. For the countless number of undead, it is just a sprinkle of water.
Even if one is thrown out, it can electrocute hundreds of ghosts. The chain lightning of the ghosts is not a big threat to the undead.
However, the mana value of the purple dragon is terrifyingly high, and the key recovery speed is amazing, especially under the protection of the world tree.
Especially this kind of naturally grown fairy dragon, one can at least be used as dozens of high-level wizards.
The residence arranged by the elves for Xu Lai is a tree house that is not luxurious but very exquisitely decorated.
But to be honest, Xu Lai was not in the mood to rest well.
The attack of the undead also involved Xu Lai's mind. Xu Lai kept a close eye on the army of ghosts in the second half of the night.
Until he could confirm that Reina and the elves would not be in any danger, he fell asleep again with peace of mind.
However, not long after Xu Lai fell asleep, Cui Sili's subordinates discovered the undead wizard who had been hiding in the dark sky and casting spells.
But the undead wizard had a strong perception ability. The elves were immediately sensed by him as soon as they found him.
The undead wizard immediately attacked several rangers, even though these rangers were old rangers who had experienced hundreds of battles and life and death.
But the moment they were locked by the undead wizard, they still couldn't escape.
Fortunately, these rangers were not vegetarians.
Although not all of them escaped in the end, under the cover of their teammates who risked their lives, two of the five rangers in this team still escaped.
And these two rangers brought the most critical information to Xu Lai and the elves.
As Xu Lai expected, this undead wizard who could throw bone spears across a distance of thousands of meters was indeed an undead king.
However, this undead king who was under the banner of the undead king Sandro was not Sandro.
He is another undead king, Modo, known as the Undead Lich.
As the undead king, Modo is the bottom of the four kings.
Rather than saying that he is one of the four undead kings, it is better to say that he is Sandro's thug.
Because Modo's specialty is corpse wizard.
In Modo's hands, corpse wizards, corpse wizard kings, can exert more powerful power.
It just so happens that Sandro, who has a divine weapon, can mass-produce corpse wizards.
However, although Mordor is at the bottom of the four kings and does not seem to have any famous artifacts on him.
But he himself is a lich with high strength and attainments.
The key is that this guy is extremely cautious. Once he finds any danger, he will immediately shrink back.
After the rangers brought back the information, the undead who were still trying decisively gave up the temptation and attack, and all sank into the dark sky.
"Undead King Sandro, so far, no one has ever seen him take action.
However, it is said that the undead lich Mordor's undead magic attainments are even higher than Sandro.
Moreover, Mordor is one of the four kings after all, so there is no need to use Sandro's banner."
Tracy said puzzledly.
Xu Lai stroked his chin and said, "It is obvious that this group of undead must be plotting something.
Since they are using Sandro's banner to confuse us, Sandro himself must be doing something else.
No matter what Sandro wants to do, we'd better not let him succeed."
"But we don't even know where Sandro is, how can we stop him?" Giselle asked puzzled.
"Is there any way to dispel the dark sky outside the city?"
Xu Lai did not answer Giselle's question, but asked another irrelevant question.
Cui Sili frowned and said, "The Dark Sky Curtain mainly relies on the smoke it emits to cover the sky.
There are two ways to dispel the Dark Sky Curtain. One is to use wind magic to blow away the smoke.
There are three druids in Shenmu City who are good at air magic and can release wind magic to blow away the smoke.
However, the Dark Sky Curtain is continuously erupting, and even with wind magic, it cannot last for too long.
Another way is to find the launch device of the Dark Sky Curtain and then destroy it.
Without the smoke-spraying launch device, the Dark Sky Curtain will naturally no longer exist.
Yesterday during the day, my ranger team had found several launch devices for the Dark Sky Curtain.
It's just that this device is located in the camp of the undead, and there are many powerful undead guarding it around.
Besides, these devices are large buildings. If siege weapons are not used, it is difficult to destroy them in a short time."
Obviously, the rangers had tried it long before Xu Lai cared about this problem, and it was a failed attempt.
The Dark Sky Curtain of the Undead is basically unsolvable for the elves.
Rangers and other long-range troops, especially when there are not too many of them, really have a hard time causing any damage to buildings.
In order to destroy the Dark Sky, the elves can only give up the advantage of city defense and choose to fight the undead in the field.
And this is exactly what the undead want. After all, the long-range ability of the elves is well known, while the long-range ability of the undead is a weak point.
The long-range troops of the undead, the skeleton archers are half-crippled, and may not even be as good as the big goblins.
The only one who can be on the stage is the corpse wizard, but the basic level of this thing is too high, and it is difficult to increase the number.
Even if Sandro can convert a large number of corpse wizards with the power of the artifact, this thing is a magic long-range after all.
The range of the magic long-range is far inferior to the physical system, not to mention that the elves have the advantage of the city wall.
But if a dark sky can be used to attract the elves out of the city, the undead can use their huge numerical advantage.
The elves had suffered so many losses in the field battles that their morale had long been destroyed. Now, they were completely laissez-faire towards the Dark Sky.
Xu Lai slapped his hand on the table and said, "It's good to have the undead guarding. I was just worried that I couldn't find them.
Lena, you don't have to go. You should stay and guard the city. I'll take the people there."
The three attempts of the undead were all repelled by the long-range force.
Lena's defensive skills and Xu Lai's god-level offensive skills have not been demonstrated yet.
Of course, Xu Lai wanted to lead the team out personally, not to demonstrate his god-level offensive skills, but to prevent the undead from making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.
After all, the undead wizard Sandro has not appeared yet.
The rangers who went deep into the Dark Sky to investigate also reported that they had found no trace of the Bone Dragon Legion.
This thing is a high-level flying unit. If it wants to sneak attack Shenmu City, it will be very fast.
With Lena, even if Sandro dares to sneak attack, he may not gain any advantage.
"How many people do you plan to take out? To be honest, the wild is more advantageous for the undead. I don't think the dark sky is worth your risk."
Xu Lai wanted to go out of the city to fight, but the first one who disagreed was the elf who invited Xu Lai.
Both Cui Sili and the elf elder Yin Mu expressed their opposition.
If Xu Lai had any accident, the barrier would probably not be able to bear it in its current state.
Xu Lai waved his hand and said, "I'm not going for the dark sky.
And I won't take too many people. Go and come back quickly. No one can stop me, not even the Lord of Hell, Kerrigan!"
Xu Lai looked around, and all the elves avoided his gaze, and no one dared to look at him.
As the king of the human kingdom, he naturally had no subordinate relationship with these elves.
The elves' performance was completely due to their own guilty conscience.
Being constantly defeated by the undead had already made this group of elves desperate and fragile.
If the world tree had not been too important, these elves would probably have collapsed long ago.
On the other hand, Xu Lai and his team have never lost a battle so far. The undead are just chickens and dogs.
No one on the human side will stop Xu Lai from making a decision, and no one on the elf side can stop him.
He did not bring too many people with him. There were only more than 100 personal guards, plus the angel army and Elvy, less than 1,000 people in total.
Xu Lai did not even bring the royal griffins.
With vampires, as long as the defense is slightly lower and can be broken, they will suck the life away and become blood bags.
Besides, although the royal griffins are not slow and can fly, they are still a burden to Xu Lai and the knights.
On the contrary, he only brought knights and angels, and he really came and left as he wanted.
However, in addition to the knights and angels, Xu Lai still brought a few more people, namely Cui Sili and her team.
There was no way. Although the rangers drew a detailed map, it was actually based on their memory of this forest.
According to the rangers, once you enter the range of the dark sky, your vision will become completely dark.
Even people with dark vision can't see clearly, let alone far.
Without dark vision, it will be dark inside and you can't see anything.
This is also the main reason why Xu Lai is unwilling to bring too many people.
If he brings too many people, even if Xu Lai has dark vision, he can't take care of too many places.
If someone falls behind for no reason, it will take a long time to go back.
It is also because of these dark curtains that humans who are completely unfamiliar with the forest will be completely in the dark even if they have a map, and they don't know if they are lost.
Under the leadership of Cui Sili and the rangers, Xu Lai and his guards drove into the pure black sky.
The black curtain is indeed as described by the rangers. Even in the dim light environment of the dungeon, Xu Lai can see clearly.
In the dark sky, even he can hardly see things 50 meters away.
This is very rare for Xu Lai, whose physique has been greatly enhanced.
Xu Lai is relatively good. Elvi and others who only bring night vision goggles can only see the situation around them within a dozen meters.
On the contrary, the undead who have no vision at all, they don’t see with their eyes at all, so they are not affected at all.
Fortunately, Xu Lai brought rangers, and these rangers can all see without using their eyes.
They only use their ears, and rely on their familiarity with the forest and the cover of the plants in the forest to take Xu Lai to any place he wants to go without making any mistakes.
It’s a pity that although the rangers are powerful, the undead don’t seem to want to see Xu Lai rampaging in their territory. (End of this chapter)
