Chapter 1457: Heading Into the Depths of the Black Fog

When the two teams of strong men stood still, Lei Xiao looked around and saw that the people coming were the people of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance led by Loris and the people of the Desert Alliance led by Sheena.

In Loris's team, Thomas, Old Susan and other people who had participated in the Shadow Market had not changed much, but Sheena was completely different. She was replaced by Lannis, the leader of the cat people, a female fox man, and a humanoid strong man who looked a bit like a cactus.

Needless to say, the cat people and fox people, and Lei Xiao had also heard of the rather strange humanoid strong man, who was from the Desert Needle People Clan of the Desert Alliance.

It is not difficult to see that after Sheena was attacked, many important strong men around her, including the masked man, were severely injured or even died directly.

"Leader Huangsha, you must be careful this time."

Loris had obviously heard about what happened to Xina, and his face was full of hypocrisy, and he said, "If we are attacked again, I'm afraid the Huangsha Alliance will be leaderless."

"Don't worry, no matter how stupid this leader is, he will not be directly replaced by others and hand over the entire alliance to others."

Xina, who also knew the other party's situation, was unwilling to be outdone, and raised her white chin to tit-for-tat.

"You..."

Hearing this, Loris was speechless for a moment, and even the usually noisy old Susan was so ashamed that she couldn't refute, and just remained silent.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly.

Just like before, the two alliances have deep grievances. Now even if they stand together temporarily, it will probably take some time to eliminate the barriers between them.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao coughed lightly and smiled: "You two, now is not the time to talk about this, let's focus on the present."

"Your Majesty is right. That lich is extremely evil. We can't wait."

Loris looked ready to fight, and the fighting spirit on his lion face was boiling: "This time, our Rainforest Fortress Alliance will be the vanguard, and we must wipe out the group of liches!"

"The vanguard is naturally us, how can our Desert Alliance be willing to lag behind?"

Xina still did not give in, and said meaningfully: "We are deep in the enemy camp. If the vanguard is replaced again, then our situation will be extremely bad."

"You haven't finished yet, right?"

Hearing that Xina was mocking him again, Loris showed his fangs, but finally retracted them.

No matter how hot his temper was, Loris was the leader of the alliance after all. Facing all the unknowns ahead, he knew that now was not the time for internal strife.

"Let the Human Majesty decide."

Xina, who had the upper hand, glanced at Loris, and stopped when she saw the good, and looked at Lei Xiao again.

"We will naturally listen to the Human Majesty."

Loris nodded immediately, expressing his position.

Not only the two leaders of the alliance, but also Thomas, Old Susan, Lannis and other two elders of the alliance, all nodded without any objection.

After Lei Xiao calmed down the crisis that was enough to put the two alliances in a desperate situation and even saved the lives of most of the people present, he had already won their sincere respect.

Noticing the trusting eyes cast by everyone, Lei Xiao was a little undecided for a while.

You know, the role of the vanguard is not only to explore the way, but also to detect magic traps and other matters. The importance is self-evident.

Compared with the other two, their strength is relatively limited. It is obviously not enough to be a vanguard. If either of them is the vanguard, it will cause displeasure to the other party, which is likely to have an adverse impact on the next battle. Then there is only one way left.

"Everyone, as the saying goes, many hands make light work, so why not let each of us select elite strongmen and form a strongest vanguard team together."

Lei Xiao said what he thought in his mind and immediately got the support of everyone.

Then, everyone quickly selected a squadron of six-level strongmen with a scale of 100 as the vanguard, gathering the most powerful elites of our side. Although the number is limited, the degree of eliteness is self-evident.

As for other issues of arranging troops, under the chairmanship of Lei Xiao, everyone quickly gave a perfect answer. Almost all the people present were experienced commanders on the battlefield, so it was easy to do this.

In addition, the other legions of the two alliances were deployed in the border areas bordering other second-rate forces to prevent the backers behind the lich from taking advantage of the opportunity.

Several shadow markets were also secretly exploring everywhere under Lei Xiao's command, and were ready to quickly transfer the army for the two alliances at any time.

"Then, there is only one last thing left."

After everything was deployed, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said, "That is the candidate for the commander."

"That must be His Majesty the Human Race."

Loris smiled wildly and responded quickly, "If it weren't for His Majesty the Human Race's efforts to save the situation, my Rainforest Fortress Alliance would have already become a hotbed of taboos, so why would we come here?"

"Yes, I also think His Majesty the Human Race is the best candidate."

Xi Na nodded heavily and agreed. She was rescued from the depths of the earth by Lei Xiao himself, so she would not have any objections.

"Then I will obey your order."

Lei Xiao did not refuse, and looked eager to fight.

Lei Xiao clearly understood that both Loris and Xina would not give in to each other, and they would not give in easily to others, so it was obviously the most suitable choice for him to take this position.

After that, Lei Xiao symbolically appointed Loris and Xina as deputy commanders, and the strong army of nearly ten thousand people immediately set off, heading towards the howling land shrouded in the black room.

…

"Did you really come?"

In a huge skeleton palace deep in the Howling Land, the leader of the Lich stared at the crystal ball in front of him. His withered face covered with strange runes showed a hint of joking, with an expected look on his face.

Then, he looked at the unknown black figure at the top, and with a rare expression of respect, he asked: "Sir, the other party is coming with a menacing force. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it."

It is not difficult to see from the respectful attitude of the Lich leader that he is obviously the backer behind the Lich.

Moreover, this is also a backing in the literal sense. The unknown black figure's body is extremely huge, almost filling the entire back half of the Skeleton Palace, as if it is no different from a mountain peak.

"You still have 80 third-level legions and 20 fourth-level legions, a million undead army here. Those ants only number ten thousand people. Even if they are all at level five or above, they will be enough to kill the opponent easily."

The deep voice of the giant unknown black shadow did not have any fluctuations, and said calmly: "Don't forget that this is your home field. These miasmas can not only weaken the strength of those ants, but also increase the strength of you and the undead army. One will weaken the other. Under this, the other party won’t have anything to fear.”

"Sir, although I say this, don't forget that the human emperor is also among them. Compared with the two alliances, although its power is the weakest, it is undoubtedly the most difficult one to deal with."

The Lich leader's face darkened, and he added: "As long as the other party is here, things may change."

"They are just ants after all. It's no big deal. Both the human world and the two alliances will soon turn into a purgatory."

There was a touch of disdain in the voice of the giant black shadow, and he responded: "Don't forget that our plan is perfect. Even if the ant really tries to jump around a few times, I will deal with him personally."

"Haha, I feel completely relieved when I hear what the adults say. Compared with the adults, those guys are not worth mentioning."

The leader of the lich smiled solemnly and said with a grin: "Since those ants came to die, let them get their wish."

…

With a burst of lightning speed, Lei Xiao, Loris, Xina and others were the first to bear the brunt, and soon rushed into the dark mist.

It is worth mentioning that before entering the Howling Land, Lei Xiao casually took out tens of thousands of fifth-level mobile potions and other high-level items, which blessed every strong man in the army. The gain buff made Loris, Xina and others look at each other again. Even with their background, they would never be able to achieve this level.

After the cinephile market, the two of them also experienced Lei Xiao's unfathomable power again.

Under everyone's respectful eyes, the moment he entered, Lei Xiao felt that the energy flow of the two energy vortices in his belly was slightly stagnant. Although this stagnation was not obvious, it undoubtedly meant that the black mist was larger than imagined. Even weirder.

Looking around, under the influence of the thick black fog, the sunlight cannot penetrate at all, making the surroundings pitch black, as if it went from day to night in an instant.

Not only that, but the field of vision was also greatly affected. I could barely see things within a hundred meters. Even though it was completely blocked by energy barriers, a pungent rotting smell still rushed towards me, which made people almost asphyxia.

"It's definitely not a place for ordinary people to stay."

Lei Xiao frowned slightly and tried to activate several purification-type sixth-level sacred and light magic scrolls, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing any ripples in the black mist.

"Your Majesty, human race, it's useless."

Xina shook her head helplessly and said: "Back then, our Desolate Sand Alliance gathered all the strong men who were good at purification magic in an attempt to dispel this weird black mist of miasma, but it failed to have any effect. This mist was just like the This land of death seems to have merged into one, and is completely uncontrollable.”

"Yes, we can only bite the bullet and move forward."

Loris had obviously tried similar methods before, and then he said with fighting spirit on his face: "However, back then, our Rainforest Fortress Alliance could not do anything to the opponent, so we had no choice but to retreat. Now, we are marching together, and there is His Majesty the Human Race." Command, we must eradicate the opponent completely!"

As soon as Loris said this, the strong men from the two surrounding alliances were gearing up.

This howling land is sandwiched between the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Deserted Sand Alliance. They often do evil when the two have no time to take care of it. They even directly destroy entire villages and even a city, and owe a lot of blood debts. , now that they have the opportunity to eliminate the opponent, everyone's morale is naturally high.

"Let's move on."

Feeling the high morale, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and took another step.

Just after walking for a while, the originally desolate scene around them changed, and a large number of broken walls and ruins appeared.

Under the thick black mist, the ruins along the road were all gray in color, mottled and vicissitudes of life. There were even a large number of tombstones lined up in the distance, which looked awe-inspiring.

Lei Xiao looked intently and found that although these ruins were old, they did not seem to be from the same era as the relics left over from the blank era.

"Your Majesty, more than two thousand years ago, there was an alliance of third-rate forces in this howling land, and it was green everywhere. But one day, for some reason, it suddenly became the world of liches, until it became as barren as it is today."

Xina was flying not far from Lei Xiao and introduced: "And these are the ruins left behind at that time, and the people there also became the main force of the undead army."

"So there was such a past."

Lei Xiao frowned slightly and looked at the dense tombstones in the distance again.

It seems that after the liches were rampant here, the remaining forces did not surrender, but fought to the last moment.

The result is obvious. In this land where the weak are preyed upon by the strong, the weak are destined to be unable to escape the fate of being destroyed.

Just as Lei Xiao was thinking about this, a huge blurry shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. He looked carefully and found that it was a huge fortress that was all white and exuded a strong aura of death.

"Your Majesty, that is the lich's skeleton fortress."

Loris's solemn voice sounded, introducing: "The Howling Land is full of cities made of countless skeletons, all of which are guarded by a large number of undead armies, which are extremely difficult to deal with."

After Loris finished speaking, the expression on the lion's face became more solemn.

In the past, although he led the crowd to wipe out several skeleton fortresses in succession, he eventually had to retreat because of the exhaustion of energy, because the skeleton fortresses in front were still standing.

And now, those destroyed fortresses are standing here again, how can this not make him feel awe-inspiring?

"We have limited military strength. It is too time-consuming and unrealistic to wipe out one by one."

Lei Xiao nodded to the people around him without any hesitation and said, "Catch the leader first. Everyone bypass the fortresses along the way and head straight to the enemy's hinterland."

After hearing Lei Xiao's order, all the strong men nodded and soon bypassed the entire giant white fortress.

Next, everyone continued to chase the wind and lightning, and found more ruins and tombstones along the way, bypassing more skeleton fortresses, and the black fog in the air became thicker.

However, no one noticed that not long after we bypassed the first skeleton fortress, a huge imprisonment barrier quietly condensed, covering the entire Howling Land.

When we walked away, the undead armies of the bypassed skeleton fortresses came out one after another, quietly followed our footsteps, and slowly surrounded us. (End of this chapter)
