The Rise of the Cemetery

For Little Jack's efforts, of course Li Xun also saw in his eyes.

Letting him contract with a level 17 dryad this time is an affirmation and reward for his hard work. As for the necessary trials and tempering, Li Xun has already considered it. The invitation from the abyss mentioned by the legendary demon warlock is about to expire. I am afraid that this trip will inevitably lead to a big battle, so it is just for Little Jack to take the opportunity to practice.

Anyway, with Li Xun guarding him, there shouldn't be too many problems.

But before setting off for the abyss, Li Xun had to take care of some daily affairs at home.

The first major event was of course the "remnant army" left in the cemetery within the territory of the Undead Council.

With the corpse grave demon Mars traveling day and night, he was not far from Li Xun's designated destination. It was a small city on the edge of the northern territory of the Undead Council - Andorhal. Backed by the Whispering Coast, surrounded by rolling hills and steep mountains, it is a natural and dangerous place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It's a pity that it was precisely because the terrain there was too difficult and dangerous that after the undead council captured the small city of Andorhal, it was directly razed to the ground.

It was under Li Xun's instruction that the corpse grave demon Mars rushed to the ruins of Andorhal with the "remnants" after the Blackwood Lake battle, and re-established his roots there.

The surveillance troops sent by the Undead Council have been following them from a distance. Seeing them camp there, the undead troops also built a fortress in another dangerous place 50 miles away, named it the undead fortress, stationed a large army, and firmly sealed the ruins of Andorhal inside.

Although the elite main forces brought by the Corpse Tomb Demon were withdrawn one after another by Li Xun, leaving only a small but elite tomb guarding force, the Undead Council, uncharacteristically, did not rush forward to wipe them out completely, but chose any Its self-defeating indulgent attitude. Although Li Xun, who is full of ghosts and ghosts, is unpredictable, it does not prevent him from leaving a nail there.

Even if the United Council of the Undead swallowed this meat bait fiercely, Li Xun would only lose one corpse tomb demon, but the subsequent vicious revenge of the Great Cemetery may not be something that the United Council of the Undead can bear. Since the return of a large number of veteran legendary spellcasters from the Mage Guild, several liches in the Undead Council have also become more low-key. Except for Novus's still fighting, several other fires have been extinguished one after another, showing that the other party has no intention of provoking a big war.

As for the venomous snake that hides its head and shows its tail like the Great Cemetery, in fact, several legendary liches have long hated it, and wished to eradicate it as soon as possible. It's a pity that the main force of the Great Cemetery is always hidden in the dark, like a hydra, which always reveals only partial strength. Even if the legendary lich launched a ruthless attack to cut off the exposed snake's head, it couldn't stand the opponent's strong regeneration ability, and came to harass it over and over again.

Under such circumstances, without finding out where the main body of the Great Cemetery is, the Undead Council will still be unable to make up its mind to stalk it. The Great Cemetery might be able to afford it, but the Undead Council definitely couldn't afford it. Once an outsider sees the flaw, those legendary enemies may not be willing to be alone.

Even now, the territory around the Undead Council seems to have not changed much, but behind the scenes, the countries bordering the Undead Council have also begun to secretly increase their troops at the border. It's hard to say whether there is any influence exerted by the legendary figures, otherwise, given the fierce reputation of the legendary lich, how dare those countries provoke the flames of the Undead Council.

In short, until the leader of the Lich, Sean VII, was able to get away, and before the legendary Lich Ragon returned smoothly, the remaining three Legendary Liches really did not intend to make another disturbance. If everything can be delayed until the Novus plan succeeds, then the peaceful situation in front of them is also what they dream of.

After simply stabilizing the defense work at the Corpse Tomb Demon Mars, Li Xun quickly focused on the second matter.

According to the message sent back by the demon wizard of the abyss plane, the soul breath of Karthus, the singer of death, appeared briefly in the abyss world, but unfortunately it was completely cut off before contacting him. However, before breaking off contact, he sent back an inexplicable plane coordinate, not from the world of wizards, but from the world of the abyss.

The coordinates of this plane have been identified by the devil girl Morika, and it should be located on the 489th layer of the abyss plane - the valley of poison.

It was once ruled by a powerful balor called Tarnheim, though he has since disappeared. The atmosphere of that plane is a haze of acid vapor, constantly replenished by volcanic eruptions that leave a scene of utter devastation.

Although Tarnheim is missing, the demon minions guarding the territory are still maintaining the territory, and they are very unfriendly to uninvited guests. There are many big and small demon lords there, all fighting hard for the vacant status of the plane lord.

As for such vague and headless information that was more like a false report, the demon wizard reported it to the Lord of the Graveyard because of repeated attempts. For some reason, Li Xun felt a little strange when he received this information. Out of the emphasis on the intuition of the soul, Li Xun decided to recruit a small adventure team to sneak into this 489th plane to investigate. If there is really any change inside, it will not be too late to send the cemetery army.

And this extremely dangerous adventure task was taken over by the messenger of doom. He picked a few more partners from among the mercenaries in the Great Cemetery, and then he left the chaotic land and stepped into the portal to the Wanyuan Plain. At present, the two small abyss planes mastered by the Great Cemetery have no portals or paths leading directly to the Poison Valley. If you want to go to the 489th floor, you can only go to the Wanyuan Plain to try your luck. Maybe you can find a direct way there. portal.

After the second matter was dealt with, Li Xun began to pay attention to the third memo submitted by Zena, the city lord of Feather Moon Fortress.

As a cemetery city built overseas by the Great Cemetery, Feather Moon Fortress naturally has the convenience of communicating with the Sea Clan, and is also an important platform for the Great Cemetery and the Sea Clan to conduct business transactions. In the past six months, Zena has done quite well, and has almost turned Feather Moon Fortress into a trading capital.

But people are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong. From Zena's recent memo, it can be seen that the troubles in Feathermoon Fortress have come.

On the one hand, there are troubles from within the Sea Clan.

The fair trade of barter is of course beneficial to both parties, but there are always those opportunistic people who are lazy and lazy in every group. The large amount of business transactions between Feather Moon Fortress and surrounding Sea Clans every month has undoubtedly attracted the coveted eyes of some guys. Some sea tribes with malicious intentions began to try to rob and loot the sea tribe caravans going to Sardo Island, and sent troops to blockade the sea area around Sardo Island.

This can only be said that Zena did a good job of keeping secrets in the early stage. The cemetery city Feathermoon Fortress that was hidden behind the scenes has never been exposed, but what stands on the bright side is a fake city that Zena pretended to be. Xu Shi was too secretive, causing some sea people to lose their sense of awe, and that's when they hit the door with a big stab.

For such a military provocation, Zena naturally has a way to deal with it. But the intervention of another wave of forces made it very difficult for her.

This second wave of power comes from the Temple of Justice.

Last time, the gecko's tail was caught, and the attention of the Temple of Justice was drawn to Half Moon Island by the dracolich Venosis, and the risk of leaking Sardor Island was preliminarily solved.

It's a pity that as the reputation of Sardo Island grows, this mysterious force that suddenly rises has once again aroused the suspicion of the Temple of Justice. In the recent period of time, many knights and priests from the Temple of Justice have come and gone in and out of the sea off Novis, which makes people feel uneasy.

At present, the Great Cemetery is entangled with the Undead Council. If it unilaterally defends against the invasion of the Sea Clan, Zena, as the city lord of the Cemetery, can complete a military operation of this scale by herself. But once the Temple of Justice is involved, she has to report to the Lord of the Cemetery first.

Otherwise, she would not be able to afford the crime of starting a war with the church without authorization.

After communicating with several high-ranking city lords in the large cemetery, and consulting with the staff of the dracolich in turn, Li Xun had no choice but to issue an urgent order to the Bloody Throne, a subordinate of the Gorefiend, to investigate the recent developments in the Temple of Justice.

To be honest, with the recent slow infiltration, the Bloody Throne with the high-level blood race as its core has successively placed subordinate forces in most of the human kingdoms in Klein Continent. However, in areas where the church power is relatively strict, only Blood Warlocks at the level of Blood Warlocks can hide from the ubiquitous evil detection, so the Blood Warlocks headed by Sarah were sent to these countries, where they quietly managed the tomb Park's underground intelligence network.

This is also one of the main reasons why Li Xun rarely sees groups of blood magicians recently.

After the matter of Sardo Island has been decided, the following is the trivial matter near the Undercity.

Since the Necropolis sent troops directly to wipe out the city of Rasmurfel, a heavily guarded undead fortress was built on the ruins of the drow city, firmly keeping the Undercity behind. But recently, the lower passage of the undead fortress has seemed a little uneasy. Obviously, some unknown underground forces are spying on the reality of the undead.

These damned guys really care about eating but not fighting. The destruction of a drow city can't extinguish their endless greed, and they dare to cast their coveted eyes on the Undercity.

Undercity is the number one main city of the Great Cemetery, and it is the core of all the portals of the Cemetery. If there is any change, the free flow of the entire Great Cemetery will be blocked. Moreover, the "artifact" Yasha's tears in the cemetery where Li Xun lives and lives is also placed here, which is absolutely not allowed to be prying.

Gritting his teeth, Li Xun immediately issued a strict order to the Holy Light Skeleton Hiberril stationed in the Undercity. An elite cemetery army took the initiative to attack from the undead fortress, sweeping all the underground passages and creatures within a hundred miles in the shortest possible time. The lair, nip all the signs of danger in the bud.
