The Rise of the Cemetery

When the three ice trolls came after hearing the news, the target scene was that the great sword raised high by Tren fell on the neck of the male ice troll.

The neck bone of the ice troll was really hard enough. It took Tren three blows to chop off its head when the opponent was powerless to resist. When he finished the task, the two-handed sword made of fine steel in his hand was also useless. In addition to the bending of the sword body, even the edge is full of gaps, like sawtooth.

Dealing with the remaining 2 females and 1 young is no longer as difficult as dealing with male ice trolls. Although the two female ice trolls were furious and doubled their combat power, they still couldn't hold back the bobcat mercenary team, which was well equipped.

With the temporarily enchanted ability to endure elemental damage, they don't have to worry about being frozen by the ice troll's icy breath, which ensures that the rhythm of the entire battle is in the hands of the mercenary team. With reasonable tactical deployment, it became inevitable to knock down these instinctive jungle monsters.

However, in the later stage of the battle, Jack yelled at Captain Trent very simply, let go of the big and small ice trolls, and only pushed down and beheaded the other female ice troll.

With scars all over their bodies, the big and small ice trolls roared angrily and reluctantly disappeared into the distant jungle.

"Why did you let them go?" Lanxi, who still couldn't hide her thoughts, ran over and asked.

"Because I need them to lead the way to their lair." Jack's answer was directed at everyone.

Although this team was hired by him, there was already a basic agreement before departure, and the combat matters had to be decided by the experienced mercenary team. Now that he has temporarily changed the battle plan, if there is not a good enough reason, it will inevitably arouse the resentment of some teammates. After all, this is also weakening the opponent's benefits in disguise.

For such an explanation, Tren nodded to accept it. With a wave of his hand, the two thieves left the team, chasing the two fleeing ice trolls from a distance.

The team took a brief rest, and after harvesting the loot on the scene by category, they followed the clues left by the thieves and chased after them.

...

Klein Continent.

The Gemstone Sea under the warm winter sun is calm and the sea and sky are the same color.

Due to its proximity to the mainland, the waters near Sardo Island are probably the most peaceful and peaceful in the Gem Sea.

On the blue sea, there are two pretty female sea people standing side by side, silently looking at the distant Sardo Island. Under the sea surface behind them, there are countless vigorous and sturdy figures swimming repeatedly.

Although this is the territory of the Sea Clan, the small island ahead is temporarily owned by a human mage. But this unilateral verbal agreement did not get the consent of all the sea people in this area, so that agreement was a gentle sea breeze in the eyes of the sea people.

However, it is another force that can stop the Sea Clan team in front of them.

Over the past year, the nearly 50-mile sea area centered on Sardo Island has inexplicably become a dead zone. Not only the fish have disappeared, but even some sea tribe patrols that "accidentally" strayed into this area have also disappeared.

This can't help but make the Armagile family, which originally ruled this sea area, have a little bit of dissatisfaction.

The batch of soul crystals that were traded a year ago brought great benefits to the clan. Several old guys in the clan have already inquired about the origin of these treasures, and even some good allies kept sending people to ask about the whereabouts of the treasures. This undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the current patriarch of the Armagile family.

But the original little human mage seemed to have disappeared, and he could no longer be contacted through the original channel. According to legend, he had already gone to the mage kingdom for further training. Knowing this, he almost drove the patriarch of the Armagile family crazy.

In desperation, he couldn't help but think of this "territory" that was sold to the other party in the fringe area of ​​the family. According to the preliminary investigation report of his subordinates, signs of human activities can already be seen on the small island that was transferred.

Could it be that the little mage has set up camp on it? But as far as he knew, humans didn't seem to have transported any materials and supplies to that island at all. How did they complete the infrastructure? He is very clear that human mages are good at using teleportation arrays to maneuver, but he doesn't think that even an ordinary high-level mage can do it.

Maybe he is not an ordinary high-level mage!

Out of a certain intuition, he successively dispatched a number of smart and capable sea clan teams to sneak into this small island in an attempt to spy on the situation inside. However, I was surprised to find that any sea tribe who entered within a radius of 10 miles of the island was gone forever, and there was no more follow-up.

Just when he was frowning, his little daughter Lanna, the sea elf, volunteered to take over the task.

His young and beautiful sons and daughters, despite their young age, are rare gifted girls in the clan, and they are already qualified sea priests at such a young age. This has to be converted into a standard recognized by human beings, and it is also a high-level mage-level existence.

Thus, such a vigorous Sea Clan team appeared in the waters around Sardo Island.

To be honest, Lanna is not very clear about the specific goal of this mission.

Obtaining soul crystals may be their first goal. But whether the young mage is on the island, or even if he is on the island, whether he still has the soul crystal in his hand, this is still unknown. Therefore, whether to ask for a meeting and discuss politely, or to come to the door to ask for it with confidence, how to choose between these has become a balance that the person in charge must master.

Out of the consideration of obtaining first-hand information, after Lanna arrived in the nearby waters the day before yesterday, she also sent an infiltration team composed of 5 powerful sea monsters in the dead of night, in an attempt to find out the reality inside. It's a pity that the result is still nothing, and disappeared in the mysterious sea area like the previous "patrol team" and never looked back.

So, as a last resort, the young and beautiful sea elf Lanna could only use her banner to visit this mysterious island with great fanfare. The person accompanying her was also Li Xun's old acquaintance, that charming and black-bellied little sea elf beauty Iliania.

The two women are both rare beauties among the young generation of sea elves, and they live in the same sea area, so they are also self-loved and love each other like sisters. This "mission" is related to the subsequent soul crystal transaction, and it is still unknown whether it will be a deal or not. Dealing with such unpredictable situations is not Lanna's forte, who has been studying magic all the year round, so she purposely called out her calculating partner Irenia.

Therefore, when this team of sea tribes was slowly approaching Sardo Island, the charming and sexy Zena was giving orders one by one through the magic water mirror.

This former drow priestess, now acting city lord of Feather Moon Fortress, is completely different from before, no matter in terms of vigor and personal demeanor or the dazzling magic equipment around her. After being alone for more than a year, she has built this cemetery city to perfection according to her own wishes.

Nominally, she is just a generational city lord, but the real master, Li Xun, is busy with her own path as a mage, completely indulging several generational city lords to act on their own, giving them the greatest soul authority and personal control. Therefore, in their respective one-acre and three-point land, they are the sky, they are the kings, and they are the masters of thousands of cemetery soldiers.

Adhering to the consistent philosophy of Li Xun, the master of the cemetery, Feather Moon Fortress is a cemetery city in the latent stage, which is not suitable for attracting too much attention and prying eyes. Therefore, this cemetery city has been hidden under the thick fog of war. Most of the camouflage buildings added on the island are mostly human-style manor villas, and there are no tombs and dead bones everywhere.

Under Zena's command, most of the cemetery buildings in Feathermoon Fortress were hidden in the center of the fog, and many undead were strictly ordered to come out of the fog of war. Therefore, from the outside, apart from the abrupt black puff of smoke near the center of the island, it is difficult to associate this beautiful island with the lair of the undead.

And the sea area near Sardo Island has become a paradise for special undead.

After many years of repeated magic experiments, a large number of specially modified sea clan semi-dead souls were born, accompanied by some hideous and bloodthirsty plants. Relying on them, the entire Sardo Island, from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, was firmly subverted by a tight and meticulous net. It is simply a delusion for any creature to break into the core area of ​​the island without disturbing them.

The teams that broke in from the front of the Sea Clan were taken down without even a storm.

After the dracolich Helga extracted certain memory fragments from their souls, Zena, the acting city lord, couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Sea people!

Given the location of Sardo Island, it will be a matter of time to deal with the Sea Clan. To put it bluntly, dealing with the Sea Clan is the greatest value of the existence of Sardo Island.

In the past, they were evasive and secretive, all in order to avoid attracting the attention and intervention of the legendary powerhouse, but now with the expansion and improvement of the overall strength of the Great Cemetery, such worries and concerns will become smaller and smaller. Even if the strength of the Great Cemetery can be raised to another level, it may become a main window to contact Klein's legendary powerhouse.

There are currently only two cemetery cities in the plane of Klein, Feathermoon Fortress and Undercity. As the core and main city of all cemetery cities, the Undercity must be hidden behind the scenes, and all non-cemetery system powerhouses are refused to visit. Feathermoon Fortress is currently the only one that can be launched as a platform to demonstrate the power of the Great Cemetery.

As long as the time comes and the strength arrives, everything will fall into place.

However, for now, it is still necessary to focus on lurking.

Therefore, for this group of sea people who came to the door, after Zena asked Li Xun for instructions, only a simple "um" was sent back through the soul system.

What does this "um" indicate?

He knows? Or some kind of authorization?

Zena, who had followed the young mage for many years, thought about it for a while, and smiled like a flower.
