The decisive battlefield was fought in the dark, and the people in the cemetery in Stratholme were not idle.

The blood sacrifice ceremony has been fully prepared. Karthus, who presided over the ceremony, was a legendary conjurer, and even took the lead. He sat cross-legged at the core of the main ceremony circle early, and silently communicated with the hosts of the four auxiliary formations.

However, their launch here will be a little later, and they need to wait for Kern's lair to be wiped out before starting the blood sacrifice. Otherwise, whether the effect of the blood sacrifice could penetrate the magic defense of a saint, even Karthus couldn't give an affirmative answer.

In the central control hall of the Magic Tower, Li Xun was wearing Dawei's robe, and with a solemn face, he issued an action order facing the densely packed magic water mirror in front of him.

Thus, on the vast undead continent thousands of miles away, 11 elite troops of the cemetery, which had been hidden for a long time, immediately entered Kern's lair in different regions under the leadership of the cemetery heroes and mercenaries.

...

Dustwind Canyon.

The fierce wind of mountains and tsunamis has never stopped.

The sky was full of sand and dust, almost covering the entire area in a piece of yellow sand.

A corner of the thousands of miles of sand sea outside Dustwind Canyon suddenly swayed with light and shadow. When the concealment circle and illusion circle were revoked, an elite and powerful cemetery army with a number of up to 30,000 appeared in it.

"Hurry up. There are so many Kern lairs, we can't be the ones holding back! Give me cheer up, if the battle goes well, all the meritorious rewards this time will be doubled!" The leader of this army is exactly In front of the corpse king of the advanced polluter, there are more than a dozen cemetery mercenaries eager to fight, and behind him, there are two ugly and strange holy-rank undead.

"attack……"

Following the commander's order, the Cemetery Legion, which had been waiting for a long time, rushed towards the entrance of Dustwind Canyon in the distance like a white wave all over the ground.

Since the leader of the team is the corpse king, the large army he chose is still his preferred elite lickers and predators. As for the other arms, the Corpse King also brought a part out of the principle of collocation and universality, but compared to the licker troops all over the mountains and plains, it can only be regarded as a small team.

Because the sky is full of yellow sand and the wind is howling, the sky is no longer a safe battlefield. So everyone didn't ride the Batman, but followed closely behind the Licker troops, striding forward with their legs wide open.

The first ambushes encountered by the troops came from under the thick yellow sand.

Countless small sand scorpions, highly toxic red-tailed scorpions, and terrifying sandworms as big as giant pythons kept coming out of the ground, frantically attacking the lickers. And the licker was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately used his sharp minions and powerful body to fight back, and the two sides strangled together fearlessly.

For a time, the entire Dustwind Canyon entrance was filled with life and death battlefields of lickers, predators, and sand sea creatures.

"Master Corpse King, you clean up the outside first, let's go in and take a look!" Dabo Corpse, the highest-ranked mercenary in the cemetery, showed a frightening smile on his crooked, rotten face, and slapped the Corpse King. Greeting, Hulala led a group of mercenaries straight into the entrance of the canyon.

The Corpse King had no time to deal with these rambunctious ghosts, and commanded a group of Lichs to form a small battle group, constantly pushing the cloud of death into the nearby battle circle, and escorting the main force into the canyon.

Soon, at the cost of 400 lickers, the Cemetery Corps as a whole rushed into the entrance of the canyon.

Now that you're in, everything is easy to talk about.

The corpse king ordered 300 violent predators to block the entrance of the canyon, supplemented by 50 corpse witches, and guarded the place like a fortress.

All the indigenous creatures in the undead world have been reduced to undead creatures, and it stands to reason that the sand and sea creatures here should be no exception. However, due to the existence of the broken point of the plane, this place has already been initially chaotic, so the creatures here are not so much undead creatures as they are chaotic creatures similar to star beasts.

Therefore, the large cloud of death of the Lichs is an insurmountable moat for them.

After stabilizing the rear, the corpse king began to lead a large force in the Dustwind Canyon to find the ancient ruins where the enemy was hiding. But without his effort, the group of cemetery mercenaries who came and went like the wind had already found the entrance and exit on a narrow stone wall deep in the canyon, and successfully dealt with several peripheral guards.

After inquiring about it, the corpse king recorded the task reward for finding the entrance on the head of a bone thief as skinny as a monkey. Only then did he wave his hand, and the cemetery army swarmed in, heading straight for the depths of the ruins.

This is indeed a safe place that Kern has been running for a long time as a place for believers to live. Not only is the area narrow and tortuous, but it is also full of various terrifying magic institutions that are difficult to describe. Therefore, walking all the way, almost every inch of space in the ruins must bury a considerable number of lickers.

If it was a small team that attacked, they would probably be dead or wounded before they entered the living area of ​​the ruins, and it would be difficult to shake the nearly ten thousand Kern believers inside. But unfortunately, it was the extremely well-prepared Cemetery Army that attacked today.

Under the continuous and frenzied attack of the lickers, the Kern believers who clung to the living area continued to fall and die, and were defeated by the cemetery troops into the core area of ​​the ruins.

Maybe it was to accommodate more believers, or maybe it was because no one dared to invade the safehouse at all, so the war facilities inside the ruins were not sufficient. And Kern believers are even more mixed, ranging from terrifying undead knights of level 17 or 18, to bone skeletons of level 4 or 5, all of which can be found in the ruins. All fighting was also entirely spontaneous, with no large-scale organized resistance.

The corpse king dodged a bone arrow, and the thick octopus-like tentacles on his right hand stabbed out like a sharp arrow, directly piercing through the skull of a skeleton mage hiding in a corner of the cave wall, knocking out his soul fire. smash. Thousands of fleshy whiskers in the left hand condensed into a fleshy whip more than ten meters long, and severed the body of a zombie head-on.

After opening and closing left and right, a dozen Kern believers who suddenly jumped out from the magic secret path fell under the fierce power of the corpse king. And the two saint-level undead who followed behind the corpse king watched him slaughter the enemy with a strange smile, but they were not prepared to intervene in the slightest.

It has to be said that there are not many war forts in this relic safe house, but there are quite a lot of small and medium-sized temples. There are not many large-scale troops, but there are quite a few scattered believers.

When Kern believers met the cemetery troops, it was like a human civilian suddenly met a fully professional soldier. The fighting qualities of the two sides were not at the same level at all. Therefore, instead of the expected life-and-death fight, a one-sided massacre was staged.

However, there is still an elite guard in this ruins safehouse after all.

Therefore, before entering the core area, the predator troops on the front line of the battle suddenly encountered a strong counterattack from the enemy troops, causing heavy casualties. And the group of cemetery mercenaries who accompanied the army was one alarm after another, constantly asking for support from the corpse king.

They are being attacked by a holy undead.

After the corpse king received the message, he nodded to the two "bodyguards" behind him, and the two holy-rank undead who had been waiting for a long time rushed out with a grinning grin.

Two fight one, and there are a group of cemetery mercenary helpers around, so the battle started quickly and ended just as quickly. By the time the corpse king rushed to the scene swaggeringly with his personal guards, the believer of Saint Jie Kern had already been chopped into pieces. Even the head was hung as a trophy from the girdle of a cemetery steps.

It has to be said that after experiencing a series of bloody battles in the Great Cemetery, coupled with the addition of magic equipment that suits his specialties, it is not a problem for the holy ranks from the Great Cemetery to single out these wild holy ranks, not to mention it is shameful Beat up.

Although the lickers of the cemetery troops were seriously injured, the group of cemetery mercenaries were all alive and well. After encountering the enemy's holy steps, although they lost to the opponent in terms of combat power, with good teamwork and excellent magic equipment, they successfully dragged the battle to the moment when the cemetery's holy steps arrived.

Seeing the enemy leader ambushing him in the ruins, the mercenaries in the cemetery didn't bother to ask for credit from the corpse king, so they immediately dispersed and went into the ruins in twos and threes to hunt for treasures.

This is the biggest benefit of their willingness to act with the team!

If it was normal, the dead king would probably have to rummage through the house like them. But now, the corpse king at level 18 is already a qualified cemetery commander, so he can only give up his hobbies regrettably, and frequently urges the secretary of the corpse witch to clean up the battlefield quickly and count the military exploits.

On the other hand, news of the victory had reached Stratholme by the quickest route.

...

In the central control hall of the Stratholme Magic Tower, Li Xun slightly closed his eyes, listening silently to the high-level Lich Master Jacob reporting the latest battle reports from various battlefields.

"The Dustwind Canyon of the Corpse King has sent back a message. Everything went well there, and all Kern believers have been successfully wiped out. According to preliminary statistics, a total of 7,136 Kern believers were killed, including 1 holy rank, XX rank 18, Level 17 XX name..."

And everywhere in the hall, there are dozens of Lich sitting in front of different magic water mirrors, constantly casting spells to connect each battlefield. Whenever the latest news came, they would quickly record the results on parchment, and then summarize them to the Strategic Command.

And this so-called strategic command is composed of the cemetery city lords such as Demon Wizard, Zena, Butcher, Karu, etc., and it governs the staff department composed of many dracolich and the strategic intelligence department independently supported by Issa. Almost all the combat orders of this campaign came from the hands of everyone in the headquarters, the staff department was only responsible for providing corresponding strategic opinions and strategic plans, and Isa was in charge of all intelligence collection and summary as well as the breakdown and transmission of combat orders.

In the past, such large-scale cooperation has only been implemented on small local battlefields, and has never been implemented on such a vast and grand battlefield as it is today. There are 11 battlefields that are fought at the same time, each of which is extremely important, and there is no room for mistakes. So the front line is full of blood, and the rear is also busy with all four feet in the sky. There is no leisure anywhere.

However, there are priorities, and the battlefield should be divided into three, six, and nine ranks. There will always be one or two different places among the 11 Korn lairs.

Therefore, Li Xun was not dozing off with his eyes closed, but his thoughts were divided, and he was paying attention to one of the most important battlefields from afar.

Mist Valley.
