The Rise of the Cemetery

Sure enough, the higher the level of the cemetery creatures, the more rebellious they were.

The young mage pouted speechlessly, and couldn't help but lament in his heart. His idea of ​​gathering a group of high-level troops to beat up the enemy was shattered again.

It can be seen that these dracolich are extremely repulsive towards the same kind, and now they can only be regarded as reluctant cooperation. Once they are put into a group, let alone fighting outside, I'm afraid they will fight first by themselves.

Fortunately, they are all the most primitive dracolich now, and the number of servants they can hold and control is limited. Otherwise, if they are divided up in twos and threes like this, the mage group originally formed by the young mage will be separated.

Probably at this time, Stratholme's necromancer Plataya, as the head of the mage group, is also having a headache! He is obviously an excellent master of dark-type spellcasting, but he can't integrate into the original mage group, and he has to pry away some well-trained high-level corpse witches from his hands. Even the head of the mage group will have a headache to death!

But this is the nature of the dracolich, and they can't be twisted at all. They can only try to list them separately and use them as a special spell-casting team.

Originally, the young mage planned to call the dracolich from Feathermoon Stronghold, but after meeting and discussing with Zena, he changed his mind. This time it really surprised him. The drow priestess Zena, who has always been low-key and has no sense of presence, was able to come up with such a targeted idea in the face of the crisis facing Feathermoon Fortress, which is not in vain. It took her a long time to take care of a cemetery city.

That being the case, the young mage confidently entrusted her with the full authority to deal with the crisis of Feathermoon Fortress, while he concentrated his energies on the battle to destroy Rasmuffel City. Although Rasmurfel City is just a fringe drow city in the shallow surface of the Underdark region, and is not valued by the Spider God Queen, believers are believers. How would a moody god react.

Therefore, the last one to show up in the city square was the recently popular soul guard—the number one hero of the cemetery. His arrival also caused a wave of turmoil in the soul system of the young mage. It can be seen that the two dracoliches and many undead mercenaries all had a strong emotional reaction to this soul guard, especially the blood demon.

It can be seen that even within the Heroes of the Cemetery, a hidden competition between strong and weak is quietly unfolding.

As a well-deserved leader of the first echelon among the heroes of the cemetery for a long time, Gorefiend is now pushed down to the second echelon by the ghost dragon Moros and the soul guard. It is impossible to say that there is no psychological fluctuation. As for how to adjust it in the future, it can only depend on the tactics of the young mage.

...

A hidden cave thirty miles away from the Undercity.

The silent and dark area is now occupied by shadowy and sneaky figures, making this hidden cave full of vitality that is rarely seen in the underground world.

Among the thorns and stone pillars intertwined with canine teeth, a group of drow warriors hidden in the shadows were communicating silently in sign language. As the secret sentinels of Rasmurfel City, they have already familiarized themselves with all the nearby tunnels, caves and secret passages, but it is difficult for them to penetrate into the mysterious restricted area ahead.

The only thing they know is that there should be a territory of undead forces, but they can't figure out their specific strength.

When they first came here, they were a large army of more than 50 people, at least for a scout team, this team was large enough. But in just over two weeks, their team has been reduced to 16 people, and even the arrogant and almost stupid priestess who led the team was lost in a tunnel full of undead.

In the law of drow, the drow team that goes out to perform tasks is usually led by a female priest. If they fail to protect the female priest and cause the death of the female priest, the remaining members of the drow team will be executed even if they return to the city safely. Therefore, after the death of the supreme leader, this drow team has been in a state of panic. If it weren't for the strong restraint of the only remaining drow priestess, the remaining drow warriors would probably have become exiles.

As a junior drow priest, Dahni has not yet bathed in the divine grace of the Spider God Queen, but this does not prevent her from being intimidated by the superiors to frighten this group of family warriors and continue to obey her subordinates.

This large-scale reconnaissance came from the joint order of many family mistresses, and there were as many as three large scout teams like her. If there is no specific and detailed enemy information, even she, a female drow, would not dare to turn around with such a large battle loss.

The information detected earlier has been sent back, but the order fed back from the family strictly ordered them to find out the detailed information of the enemy, which almost forced them to the point of death.

"These damned scum, scumbags, these cowards who should be cursed by the goddess, only dare to hide behind and issue orders to send people to death. If you have the ability, go and see for yourself!" Daheni cursed silently in her heart Looking at the bastard who issued the order, his sexy and charming face was distorted due to resentment.

The defense of the undead forces is strict and the counterattack is fast and sharp. Only those who come here can experience it.

The many corridors and caves leading to the core of the enemy forces near the front are filled with crackling skeleton warriors and staggering green zombies with rotten stench. It is almost difficult to find a place to stay there. There is a gap in the gap, which makes the drow who are good at sneaking and hiding have nothing to do.

Even the upper half of the cave is occupied by ghosts roaming around unconsciously, which prevents some creatures that are good at climbing from sneaking in.

Faced with this kind of almost three-dimensional all-round defense, the drow team who had just arrived could only choose to form a formation and clean it up forcefully. The undead of the first level are like a mess in front of the well-equipped drow elite fighters. Except for the corpse poison that explodes after the death of the green zombies, which can bring some troubles to the drow fighters, other skeletons and ghosts can hardly cause them considerable damage. harm.

As for this kind of corpse poison, the priestesses and priests who led the team purified it with just a little magical power, and it could not cause a direct reduction in the drow team.

The first large-scale downsizing of the Zall team was at the moment when they were most satisfied. Whenever recalling the scene at that time, Daheni couldn't help trembling and her eyes were in a trance.

The undead knights standing on top of the skeleton horses who came out with the crisp sound of hooves are simply the protagonists in a terrible nightmare. They wore pitch-black old armor, with ferocious and terrifying grim smiles, and held high the sharp saber that was almost as long as drow's height, and they broke up the formation of drow's elite team with only one charge.

These terrifying high-level undead knights didn't care about the casualties of low-level undead at all. On the way of their charge, they also crushed a large number of skeletons and zombies.

The powerful divine spell cast by the overly proud priestess burned and sizzled the undead knights in the front row, but failed to kill them with a single blow. As a result, she fell under the group charge of the three united undead knights.

And when the remaining drow warriors panicked and wanted to turn around and run away, they realized that they were surrounded by vampires swarming behind them.

If it weren't for Drow's highly protective enchanting equipment and alchemy weapons with a high penetration rate, it would be impossible for their team to fight their way out of the sea of ​​undead and escape nearly half of the people. On the contrary, many vampires in the undead team were killed by the golden crossbow and Daheni's magic.

This point must have made the main messenger behind the undead forces very angry. In the next few days, their remnant soldiers were constantly harassed and hunted by the other party. The elusive ghosts secretly took away the lives of a few unlucky ghosts when they were camping. If it hadn't been for Daheni's supernatural powers and magic spells to severely injure a group of them, it is estimated that they would not even have a safe place to rest.

So they retreated all the way, and they didn't stabilize their position until they were 30 miles away from the enemy's core territory. However, the reinforcements who had been waiting for several days did not arrive, but instead came a strict order that would kill all of them, which instantly detonated the anger of the remaining drow fighters.

At first they were able to suppress their emotions, expressing their anger to each other only with rapid gestures. But as the emotions became more and more agitated, several seriously injured drow warriors no longer cared about the tradition of keeping silent in the underground world, and began to yell at the scum who ordered them to die.

Daheni leaned against the stalagmite and sat in the shadow on one side, watching this group of humble men who almost bombed the camp with distraught eyes, and did not forcefully subdue them as she did a few days ago. Because if that strict order was really carried out, she, the only remaining leader, would surely die at the hands of those ugly and fierce undead.

But just when she was anxiously trying to pull out the snake head whip around her waist to knock down one or two male drows, the warning spell in the distance gave her a hint of uneasiness.

"Shut up! Listen, listen to me, what's that sound?" Daheni, who stood up abruptly, shouted sharply, her shrill and slightly terrified voice immediately calmed down the group of thugs.

As soon as everyone calmed down, the strange sound from the depths of the cave in the distance came into their ears clearly.

This is a kind of piercing sound caused by flapping wings, and it is also the unique sound of the vampire bats that have dealt with them for a long time. It's just that compared with the past, today's sound is particularly loud and dull, as if...

Without listening carefully, Daheni had already raised her breath and rushed to the entrance of the cave on the other side, and fled desperately to the distance without looking back. These surviving drow warriors were indeed worthy of the title of elite, and almost rushed out of the cave with her, leaving only a few wounded companions behind.

When the drow warrior who ran at the end with a disabled leg looked back in horror at the entrance of the cave, what caught his eyes was a pair of blood-red eyes covered in the shadows in the distance.

Following the shrill and short exclamations and screams sounded one after another, the huge bodies whizzing by one after another left ghostly shaking shadows on the cave wall.
