The Rise of the Cemetery

Stratholme, where people come and go, is very lively at the moment.

The undead mercenaries with a keen sense of smell have already detected the breath of war from clues, so after calling for friends, nearly 70% of the mercenary team in the entire cemetery crowded into this city that has been in a state of war.

The mission hall, the city square, the Nightmare Hotel, the Tavern of the Dead, and the Psychedelic Garden have almost all become must-go places for them to inquire about news and exchange information. However, the so-called dead man's tavern here is not a well-guarded cemetery tavern, but a real tavern with undead characteristics that the clever "Isa Public Service Department" spent a lot of money to decorate and expand. After trial operation, undead mercenaries have given good feedback, so now it has been opened in all cemetery cities.

First of all, the bar owners of the Dead Man's Tavern are all iron-headed men who are exactly like Isa.

Secondly, the maids in the Tavern of the Dead are all beautiful little banshees and some low-level succubi who come out to beg for life.

Most importantly, the most famous "Returning Soul Wine" among the wines sold in the Tavern of the Dead, its main raw material is Soul Crystal. These soul-returning wines specially prepared by a certain unscrupulous Lich, with soul crystals and special hallucinogenic alchemy potions, can nourish and strengthen the soul fire, and at the same time make the drinker fall into certain memories deep in the soul. in a profound scene.

This point is especially frantically sought after by all undead mercenaries.

You must know that general hallucinogenic substances and spells are almost difficult to take effect on undead. Only these special alchemy potions combined with soul crystals can make an undead creature fall into a dream scene and cannot extricate itself.

Since becoming a cold and desireless undead creature, the warm and comfortable bed, the romantic and beautiful scenery, the sweet and delicious food, and the warmth of being surrounded by relatives have all become distant and vague memories. Even many undead who survived for too long have lost even these memories.

But at this moment, as long as he drinks a glass of soul-returning wine, those broken memories hidden in the depths of the soul fire will be stirred up. The past that they thought would never be possible to experience again will come to them through time and space, allowing them to experience the forgotten past again when they are smoky.

This experience is enough to drive every undead crazy.

For a while, this lucky Lich Gris made a lot of money just by selling the Resurrection Wine. The wealth he possessed directly overwhelmed several veteran acting city lords, and he became the richest man in the cemetery in a short period of time.

This creative idea of ​​slanting swords immediately ignited the enthusiasm of all spellcasters.

alchemy? As long as he is a successful spellcaster, who knows how to use alchemy, the only problem is probably the high price of soul crystals. If you want to use it to find out a mature alchemy formula, I'm afraid you can only hope that like that shit-lucky Lich, you can get a glimmer of inspiration by chance while conducting other magic experiments, and it's a fluke.

Countless Lich, Skeleton Mage, and Dracolich tried to decipher the alchemy formula of "Returning Soul Wine" in reverse, but all ended in failure. As a result, "Lucky Gris" became the most popular word in the cemetery, and it became popular in almost all cemetery cities.

And the mage tower alchemy laboratory in the cemetery city has been overcrowded since then, full of speculators waiting for alchemy experiments.

From then on, the most fashionable life in the cemetery is to visit the psychedelic garden, drink a glass of "resurrection wine" in the dead man's tavern, and then have a good sleep in the nightmare hotel.

However, with its high price, most undead mercenaries only dare to come here once in ten days and half a month, otherwise they might not even be able to save merit points for repairing equipment.

When Alsace, who had been away for a long time, rushed back to Stratholme with the knights of the Ebon Blade, he found that the whole city was singing a name: Lucky Gris.

"Is this city crazy?" Alsace couldn't help complaining as soon as he stepped into the city hall covered in frost and wind. Compared with the last time he left, Stratholme was much more vibrant now, but it was also full of an explosive sense of madness.

Liches dancing with skeletons and undead knights shoulder to shoulder with abominations can be seen everywhere on the street, which simply overturned the limits of Alsace's imagination.

"Haha, you've been away for a long time, it's time to come back and get to know life in the cemetery again!" The Skeleton King sat on the throne of bones, holding a huge bone wine glass in his hand and shaking it gently, appearing serene and peaceful, It is also in a "drunk" state.

drunk? Undead?

The rare combination of these two words that never match the boundary today made this cold and stern cemetery hero in a trance.

What happened to the cemetery today?

However, the Skeleton King is also a veteran cemetery hero after all, and the so-called gaffe only lasted for a while, and he soon came to his senses. Stratholme was most likely to face the invasion of a legendary lich. This urgent military situation made him feel restless, and he quickly contacted the master Li Xun who was far away in Klein Continent through the soul system.

Following the implementation of measures one after another and the issuance of military orders one after another, the large cemetery that had just been quiet began a new war mobilization.

The rear is preparing for war, and the most important intelligence work has been handed over to Oro who has been keeping an eye on the outskirts of the hidden valley. When a large number of ghost killers and bat devils and air riders covered every area where the hostile forces were located, every move of the enemy was instantly conveyed to the hands of the Skeleton King.

War is near.

According to the determination of the Bat Devil Skyrider, a large-scale wave of undead corpses is gathering in the core area of ​​​​the enemy's forces, and the scale is unprecedented. It can be seen that the enemy has tried their best, and really intends to make a contribution in one blow and capture Stratholme in the Necropolis.

However, due to the tight blockade of Stratholme in the early stage, the enemy still doesn't know who they are fighting with, so they probably don't even know about the existence of the cemetery city. If this point is used well, it is likely to give this legendary Lich an indelible good memory.

Originally, Alsace asked for orders to continue to attack the enemy's core area and disrupt the opponent's attack rhythm, but this request was directly rejected by the Skeleton King. Now it's time to meet the Legendary Lich Tu. At this time, the Ebon Knights will probably be directly strangled by the Legendary Lich. No matter whether they win or lose, the gains outweigh the losses.

And after several consecutive high-level meetings, the complete combat plan was basically formed. On the contrary, the large cemetery can't wait to lure the enemy forces to gather and annihilate them in front of the cemetery city, so how can they scare away the opponents.

Since it was a civil war among the undead, the army of vampires who were "amateurs in the civil war" would no longer be recruited into the army, but would be stationed in the demon plane to suppress the situation for Hilgay. And the stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility of the soul guard Sirgai was once again honorably enlisted.

The current cemetery only has this 20th-level holy hero, so he cannot be absent in any big scene war, otherwise he can only offset the opponent's level advantage with massive casualties.

However, Undead Wars has always been known for its procrastination and slowness. Although the opponent has already begun to assemble troops, it would take nearly a month to complete the assembly of millions of undead and then dragging their feet to Stratholme, so the Great Cemetery has plenty of time to prepare for the battle. This also made the cemetery troops who had become accustomed to blitzkrieg and quick response go crazy again.

...

Just as the crowd huddled up in Stratholme in the cemetery and waited for the enemy to "crawl" in front of them, a certain alchemy life far away in the sea area of ​​​​the Patersel Ocean Empire was living a miserable life of hiding.

The operation of crossing this huge ocean empire under the command of the master was so unsuccessful that Terkanes almost stumbled all the way. Compared with the arrogance and unscrupulousness when it first set off, the ghost warship at this moment has completely become a master of stealth and guerrilla warfare.

In terms of appearance alone, the Ghost Battleship has undergone considerable changes.

The damage after several successive wars was finally restored after eating seaweed. The energy came from some unlucky marine organisms. The filling materials were either human merchant ships encountered by chance, or local materials such as coral, seaweed, and reefs. . Therefore, the ghost battleship at this time looks like a huge blue reef floating in the sea from the outside, with a lot of coral and seaweed attached to it.

Many times, it will sink into the bottom of the sea and pretend to be a common blue reef to deceive the sea clan's search, and it will try its best to avoid any battles that can be avoided.

Although such modification will slow down its sailing speed, it also greatly reduces the chance of being discovered. After all, with the vastness of the Sea Clan's territory, it is impossible for those Sea Clan fighters to search every seabed reef.

But in this way, the already distant goal is now even more out of reach.

At this moment, standing in front of the ghost battleship is a magnificent sea clan fortress.

A series of undulating submarine volcanoes rise here, many of which have already protruded from the sea, forming things like island reefs, submerged reefs, and ring volcanoes. But under the sea level, in some gaps between the mountains, the sea people built a series of sturdy and practical war bunkers, and built a larger ocean fortress based on them.

This ocean fortress covers a vast area, with a radius of a hundred miles, and has completely become an important entrance and exit for the sea people, with heavy troops stationed there. Therefore, rushing into such a Sea Clan stronghold is definitely not a wise move, but it is not easy to go around the city. On the left and right sides, there are natural dangers that the Sea Clan dare not easily set foot in. They are the habitats of certain sea monsters.

So the only feasible way is to venture up to the surface and cross from there.

But after all, this is an important fortress on the border of the Sea Clan, and there are densely packed Sea Clan patrols in all directions without any dead ends. If you want to pass through it silently, you must choose a "good day" to do it.

So Telkanes had no choice but to choose a place to hide, and lived a miserable life of "waiting for the wind to come".
