The Rise of the Cemetery

With great difficulty, Issa performed his own magically precise surgery.

All the twisted and deformed bones have been straightened and fixed, all necrotic muscles have been cut and removed, and all damaged internal organs have also been stitched and repaired. At the moment of the operation, various knives and saw wheels, large and small, popped out from the outstretched mechanical arm of Issa, and with the assistance of the young mage's magical hologram, the repair operation was carried out to the exacting precision.

Meanwhile, numerous metal tentacles protruded from Issa's clean and smooth chest one after another. Some projected fine and slightly scorching hot rays from the small laser compound eyes at the front, and under its burning, the astonishing number of tiny scratches on Younu's body surface were glued together one by one. Some metal tentacles emit the same tiny electric current to locally stimulate the body near the wound to stimulate its growth rate.

As a result, the small secret room was filled with the continuous "buzzing" sound, the slight smell of burning skin, and the "cracking" sound of electric current extension, which was also intermittently mixed with an inexplicable metal friction The weird sound of running.

Li Xun was speechless.

He might have thought that those great arcanists during the Arcane Empire would conduct all kinds of miraculous research, but now he realizes that the depth and breadth of their research has far exceeded the limit of his imagination.

The arcane puppet possessed by Issa is probably a professional construction focused on medical assistance. The fineness and subtlety of the various methods even surpassed the medical level of Li Xun's previous life on Earth.

In Li Xun's cognition, the high magic society follows the fantasy route. All kinds of powerful spells, all kinds of illusory and magical prophecies, all kinds of strange talents and abilities... All these are like a gift from heaven, and they are special effects accumulated in a certain part of the surging sea of ​​magic power. In such an environment, people are almost forced to develop in the direction of religion, theology, philosophy, etc., and it is difficult to evolve a precise science that understands itself so thoroughly.

Probably only a low-magic world like the Earth in my previous life would conduct detailed and profound research in the fields of precision machinery, artificial intelligence, and life sciences, trying to arm and strengthen itself with the wisdom gathered by the crowd.

However, what he saw and heard today subverted Li Xun's cognition again.

The means used by Issa's special body clearly have the characteristics of refinement, miniaturization, and mechanization that are unique to a low-magic world.

Is this also a derivative product of the great arcanists' research on immortality?

However, these questions can be left to be studied slowly in the future. The key issue now is still the instability of Younu's soul and body! This kind of soul-like stuff cannot be observed and cured by the endless miraculous instruments in Yisa's body. Therefore, after Isa completed all the operations, he put away all the instruments, and with the assistance of the young mage's panorama, he began to consult with You Nu's soul body.

Soon, Issa came to the conclusion: Younu is in the process of evolution.

Uh... well! This somewhat unexpected conclusion made Li Xun somewhat unexpected. However, after repeatedly examining Younu's state, the young mage had to agree with Isa's conclusion.

This unparalleled battle between the planes caused both the demon and the cemetery to pay a heavy price, but it also brought a lot of combat experience. Among the heroes in the cemetery, there are quite a few low-level heroes who have continuously improved several levels, and high-level groups like Younv and Gorefiend who have already reached level 14 and 15 have also improved considerably.

Now there are as many as four heroes entering the ranks of level 15: Blood Demon, Younv, Demon Sorcerer, Corpse King, and there are 12 level 15 undead mercenaries. If you add Plataia, who was originally level 15, and the mysteriously born level 18 ghost dragon Moros, the high-end combat power of the cemetery forces has begun to show scale.

Could it be that You Nu's mysterious change occurred because of her upgrade from level 14 to level 15?

Relying on the connection with Younu's soul, Li Xun tried to contact her sleeping soul, but got no response at all, but he could sense that she was undergoing drastic soul changes.

With nothing to do, Li Xun directly used his authority to collect 200 soul crystals and pile them up near Younu. Although I don't know to what extent Younu will evolve, it is not wrong to increase the concentration of soul power around the body, after all, evolution is more reflected in the leap of the soul.

After you settled down, Li Xun had time to deal with the follow-up matters after the war.

Speaking of upgrading, Li Xun realized that he, the leader of the cemetery, had gained the most from this battle. The rating has gone from 13 and 43% to 15 and 7%.

Up two levels in a row!

And most importantly, crossing the threshold of level 14 also indicates that the highest-level 7th-level biological bone dragon in the cemetery will enter the battle order.

Li Xun calmed down first, and added the 2 free attribute points he gained from two consecutive promotions to his spirit. Although by now, the strength attribute involving physical strength should also be activated, but compared with the intuitive combat benefits brought by mental strength, mental strength is still more affordable.

The improvement of spiritual power can not only expand Li Xun's soul space, but also expand the main direction of future development - the field of panorama, which is extremely important for his upcoming spell competition. As for strength, Agility can only hope that the treasure store will appear as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to take care of it in the short term.

The strategic skills that appear at level 14 are: Ice Master, Advanced Dark Magic and Advanced Summoning Magic.

Among them, the Ice Master can make all the ice spells cast by Li Xun have the special effect of deep freezing. While advanced dark magic and advanced summoning magic can improve the final effect of these two types of spells.

All three were of great help to Li Xun, so after careful consideration, he chose advanced dark spells. After all, what he uses most now is those spells of enchantment and control. It is worthwhile to enhance the spell effect of dark spells.

And the strategic skills that appear at level 15 are: magical training, advanced destruction magic and advanced witchcraft.

Magic training, which can reduce the mana consumption of the caster by 20% when casting spells. Advanced Destruction Magic boosts the destructive effects of offensive spells, while Advanced Sorcery slows spell cooldowns, making mana forts possible.

Li Xun directly ruled out the first magical training. He doesn't lack mana now, but only lacks a core spell that is legal. Therefore, the choice is mainly between advanced destruction magic and advanced witchcraft, which one can improve his combat power more obviously.

After some hesitation, Li Xun still chose advanced destruction magic.

As he entered level 15, Li Xun could clearly feel that his path to level 16 would be extremely easy. For others, it may be difficult to cross the deep chasm, but for myself it has long been a smooth passage.

It's all about the panorama!

With a panoramic view that sees through everything, the reality of the world will be presented directly in front of his eyes. Li Xun's improvement does not require breakthroughs, but only accumulation. To this day, his accumulation is still too little. The continuous unrivaled battles have made him soar in rank, but his foundation is shallow.

At level 15, level 8 spells in the new world are no longer out of reach for him. But looking back, he only had a superficial understanding of level 6 spells, and the number of level 6 spells he could use so far was not enough for two palms. In every battle, it is the Heroes of Might and Magic series that can sustain the scene, why? It's not that Li Xun's new world spells are too few, too shallow, and he can't bear the heavy responsibility at all!

...

When Li Xun finally appeared in the command hall, the pursuit outside the cemetery was still in full swing.

Those high-level demons move too fast, as long as they get out of the fog of war around the cemetery, they can easily escape with the help of teleportation, so the cemetery mercenary team left two 13-level high-level demons in addition to using the special skills of the forgotten mage. Except for high-level demons, they had to focus on some mid-level demons with higher cost performance.

Such mid-level demons are usually very difficult to find, and they are the leaders of a small force at every turn, so it is difficult to take them down without going through a big battle. But now, many mid-level demons are fleeing in groups. As long as they are deployed properly, they can easily catch a big fish.

Therefore, the cemetery mercenaries after the war all rode bat demons, closely following the demons scattered all over the mountains and plains, like falcons soaring above the blue sky, and when they saw a suitable target, they swooped down and attacked in groups. Whether it was a group of dog demons, a team of burning demons, or big figures like snake demons and succubi, they could only drink their hatred in the waves of frequent attacks of cemetery mercenaries.

The battle on the periphery is still going on, but the senior management of the cemetery in the command hall is already making a report on the battle damage.

The damage caused to the chaotic land of the cemetery city by an epic battle is obvious. Except for the main buildings within a radius of 1 mile in the core area, most of the cemetery city covering an area of ​​5 miles has been destroyed. Looking around, there are collapsed houses and palaces everywhere, and the city defense facilities are almost completely destroyed. Only on the periphery, some dilapidated war towers and fortresses can be seen sporadically.

The loss of troops is also terrifying.

In this battle, Li Xun ran back and forth, collecting almost all the combatable units in the other major cemetery cities. Undercity, Sleeping Land, and Feather Moon Fortress even retained the minimum defensive force.

But after World War I, in order to protect the safety of the heroes and mercenaries to the greatest extent, the loss of troops in the cemetery made Li Xun a little angry.

The loss rate of high-level cemetery units is 37%, including death knights and necromancers.

The loss rate of middle-level cemetery units is 62%, including Lich and Vampire.

The loss rate of low-level cemetery units is 81%, including ghosts, banshees, abominations, and lickers.

As for the zombie skeletons used as cannon fodder, they are not included in the battle damage statistics. After all, as long as they win the battle, they are the easiest group to recover.

The reason why the mid-level units lost so much was because the demon-slaying tactics gave up the city wall defense in advance. Under the impact of a large number of demon soldiers, the war towers and war fortresses were conquered one by one, and the corpses and necromancers inside, as well as some attached cemetery mercenaries, were blocked inside, and could only fight to death.

In addition to the loss of arms, even the newly expanded mercenary group in the cemetery also paid a huge sacrifice. The number of cemetery mercenaries who fell on the chaotic battlefield reached 133, accounting for more than 1/3 of the total number of cemetery mercenaries.
