Chapter 367 Undead

To be honest, in the Byron Union, the status of baron is really pitifully low.

In many places, at best, it is the owner of a castle, or an unknown mayor.

But when this baron, sitting on a territory of nearly a thousand kilometers, with millions of people, and an army of nearly 100,000, everything changed, especially when the other party also monopolized the transactions in the upper reaches of the Jacob River. And having a close relationship with the most powerful woman in the world has a different nature.

To put it bluntly, Sean is the Baron with the greatest power and influence in the history of the Byron League.

In less than a year, his reputation has spread all over Ashan. Although most of them are nouveau riche and land turtle barons from the mountains, most of them are insulting and infamous, but a negative reputation is also a reputation, isn't it?

As for how much envy, jealousy and hatred they have in their hearts when they scold the nouveau riche, and how much they want to be such a nouveau riche, it is unknown.

The other party really has the ability to use this kind of influence to ruin the reputation of the Kingsley family, and then give those who care about it a chance to make use of it.

"You lied to me." Kleist, also a seasoned old fox, immediately reacted, "If the four elders of the crocodile tribe really swear allegiance to Baron Sean, why do you bother to reorganize the army?"

"Isn't it normal to reorganize the army? Do you think we will see the original army composition model of the Crocodile people? They are just a drag on us. It is with the cooperation of the four elders that the army reorganization is so smooth. "Brann showed a provocative smile, "If you don't believe me, you can try it, but you will be responsible for all the consequences! The reputation we have established among the crocodile tribe is enough, and there are 20,000 civilians, which is just icing on the cake , When the time comes, do you see if they hate you butchers? Or our group of people who tried their best but failed?"

Sir Kleist fell into a long silence, and the initial confrontation ended in failure, because he was a little uncertain about the real situation between the leader of Yongye and the crocodile tribe.

If, as Brian said, the leader of the Yongye army has silently annexed the crocodile tribe, the reputation of the leader of the Yongye army with the crocodile tribe would not be so important.

"I can't decide this matter, I need to go back and ask for instructions." Sir Kleist chose to delay the attack.

"I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. We can afford to wait, but those civilians can't afford to wait. If they are all dead, it will be worthless." Bran's plain words were filled with endless cruelty, as if he was talking about It is not 20,000 living lives, but a batch of commodity goods, the unimportant kind.

As for whether this is a true reflection of his heart? It's still intentional.

Kleist didn't dare to speculate anymore, they seemed to be one step behind in this confrontation, they bowed their hands, and hurriedly withdrew with their own people.

a day later.

The Kingsley family sent another message, but this time it was a request for a direct meeting between the top leaders of the two sides.

Regarding this request, Bran also had no way to make a decision on his own, and immediately asked to see the lord Sean.

But it was already two days later when I saw Sean.

It's not that Sean doesn't pay attention to this matter, but that he himself is not on the flagship, but is conducting reconnaissance over the territory of the Klein tribe.

Now the Klein tribe has become the biggest threat to the Evernight army leader's rule of the Swamp of Despair.

The Kingsley family's Eastern Conquest Army has been eaten to death by them, but the Klein tribe is in an uncontrolled state of uncertainty.

So far, they have not been able to fully understand the bottom line of the Klein tribe.

Just like the large-scale beast returning to ancient times caused by the Tower of Law, there is no way for ordinary soldiers to infiltrate the Klein tribe to investigate the internal situation, not even the most experienced Hawkeye.

Because there are no ordinary people here.

The situation of the Klein tribe is the worst that Sean and the others speculated.

The entire Klein tribe, regardless of men, women, or children, has already become half-dead, and the further they go into the territory, the more serious the undead.

On the Danube, the Klein soldiers they saw were all in relatively good condition, at most half human and half ghost.

The people of the Klein tribe in the core area have basically lost their human image. Not only are their muscles exploding, but their bones are also placed on the outside. They are very close-fitting, like a skeleton monster, very much like the legendary skeleton soldiers.

But don't equate them with the low-level cannon fodder that will fall when the wind blows. It is more appropriate to describe them as skeleton armor soldiers. The defense of that layer of skeleton armor is much weaker than that of heavy armor.

But it has advantages that heavy armor can't match-light weight, and it is truly tailor-made.

The other is strong anti-electricity ability.

The reason why Sean is so clear is of course the result of his own experiments.

The thunderbolt golden eagle can hit even a champion knight severely, and it can barely kill a skeleton armored soldier.

But the result of doing so is like stabbing a hornet's nest.

Numerous skeletal armored soldiers and half-dead Klein tribe soldiers came out from unknown corners, even if they couldn't reach Sean who was flying in the air, they chased after him for a while.

There were more than a hundred skeleton armored soldiers drawn out that time.

Sean also saw the human-ant tactics again. Countless skeletal armored soldiers, like ants crossing a river, piled up one after another, trying to build a ladder to the sky and drag Sean and the black collar out of the air.

Although it's not the first time I've seen it, but every time it's so shocking, followed by endless horror, the kind that tingles from the heel to the scalp, I really can't figure it out, how did they do this?

But this is not the biggest receipt of Sean's trip.

At first, Sean planned to capture a skeleton armored soldier alive for anatomical research, until he found a more valuable target - the skeleton armored knight.

These bone armored knights are not riding war horses, but the almost forgotten fighting and hunting partners of the crocodile tribe - the war crocodile.

As the environmental changes in the Swamp of Despair intensified, the scope for war crocodiles became smaller and smaller.

Especially in large-scale wars, it is rare to see their shadows.

The only thing that played a little role seemed to be in the moat of the brother port defense battle, but as winter came, they basically withdrew from the battlefield.

Such things as war beasts.

It cannot be said that it is not useful at all. Once the body size reaches a certain level, it will play an unexpected role in certain battle situations.

For example, the ability of the armored war bear to break the formation and shield, such as the shock and intimidation ability of the Andis tiger against cavalry, and the charge ability of the klei beasts when they gather in groups.

As obvious as their strengths are, their flaws are equally glaring.

In the past, it was generally limited to the use of war beasts by their IQ. Even after rigorous training, it was difficult to adapt to the complex battlefield, especially after seeing blood, many beasts either flinched or went crazy.

This problem was solved by the leader of the Yongye army because the beast returned to the ancient times and his IQ improved.

But this only makes the small-scale application of War Beast possible, and it is still difficult to use it on a large scale.

Omnivorous war beasts such as Kolei beasts and armored war bears are easier to talk about.

The most troublesome thing is the Andis tiger, a pure carnivore. The financial and material resources needed to raise them in captivity are more than 300 times that of elite war horses, and 50 times that of klei beasts and armored war bears.

How to choose is self-evident.

Armored War Bears and Kolei Beasts can become unique war beasts, but Andis Tigers can only be used as mounts for middle and senior officers, dispatched in special battle situations.

As a pure carnivorous animal, war crocodile used to rely on the vast waters of the Desperate Swamp, semi-automatic hunting and semi-human captivity, and there is still a large number of existence foundations.

Now they can only withdraw from the lives of the crocodile tribe on a large scale. Even in the training base led by the Yongye army, the ancient war crocodile has been reborn, somewhat similar to the legendary ground dragon, but during the process of adapting the Chenxi army, Still haven't considered using it on a large scale.

The crocodile mount of the skeleton armored knight has no such shortcomings.

Because these war crocodiles are no longer pure, not only have their body size become larger, but also serious external bone phenomenon has appeared on their bodies.

This means that it is like those undead crocodile clansmen, the materialized magical energy flowing in the blood can supply their basic needs, and basically have no demands for food and the like, so naturally they no longer have logistical supplies pressure.

After these war crocodiles were undead, their appearance changed quite a lot. They were no longer flat and dwarf, but became more majestic than war horses. If their heads didn't change much, they almost couldn't be connected with war crocodiles. The direction of change is more perfect to match the skeleton armor knight.

The war crocodile mounts that have become like this have obviously lost their ability to swim, and their ability to run on land has improved.

This discovery made the situation in the Klein Tribe Territory so dangerous that it immediately soared several levels.

The crocodile tribe has a long history of raising war crocodiles in captivity. Which family does not keep two or three captive crocodiles as a fishing aid, plus wild war crocodiles, the overall number is much more than that of the crocodile tribe.

The most important thing is the deep meaning brought by the undead of the war crocodile, since this situation may appear to all living creatures here.

Sean hasn't found it yet during his investigation, which doesn't mean it hasn't.

He had wandered around the territory of the Klein tribe several times before, didn't he find the armed skeleton soldiers and armed skeleton knights at the beginning?

After all, Sean rides alone, and the scope of investigation is relatively limited in a short period of time.

With the development and growth of Yong Ye's military leader, more and more things need to be handled by him personally. He has no way to spend a lot of time investigating and drawing high-altitude aerial views like before.

This situation will only become more and more serious, and the flying brigade led by Yongye Army still needs a period of training and accumulation if it wants to grow up.

The soldiers of the entire Klein tribe are very good at hiding their tracks. Not only their physical condition has become very similar to the dead, but many of their behaviors are also very similar to the dead. When they stand silently in the shadow corner, it is not so difficult to find them .

Many of the undead Klein tribe soldiers seem to like to soak themselves in pools or swamps. In that case, they don't take the initiative to reveal their whereabouts, and they can't be found at all.

Although they are not afraid of the sun, they don't like it very much either.

When the sun is shining, it is difficult to detect their presence.

When the moon shines brightly, they will pop up without a sound, with eyes like will-o'-the-wisps looking up at the moon, as much as possible.

Sean has found the core of the Klein tribe.

It didn't take too much time, and it was already found during the first high-altitude reconnaissance.

The results of the autopsy by the leader of the Yongye army showed that the body mutation of the soldiers of the Klein tribe was caused by the injection of magical energy.

According to this point, Xiao En has a definite target, chasing the abnormal fluctuations in the energy of the spell, and naturally it is easy to find the destination.

Even tens of miles away, one can clearly feel the vast wave of spells. Compared with the energy reaction room in the northern fortress, it is only stronger but not weaker.

This also confirmed the inference of the Yongye army leader in disguise, and it was confirmed that the abnormality of the soldiers of the Klein tribe was related to the energy of the spell.

The same is the magic energy.

There is a huge difference between the magical energy transmitted from the Klein tribe and the energy reaction room of the northern fortress led by the Eternal Night Army.

The spell energy in the energy reaction chamber is non-attributed, and it can also be called a mixed attribute.

The ones from the Klein tribe's territory, on the other hand, tend to have dark attributes, which are exactly the same as those on the Klein tribe's soldiers, and are quite recognizable.

The suffocating breath of death rushed towards his face.

Before this, Sean never knew that death could be directly felt.

Regrettably, Xiao En was unable to ascertain exactly how the abyss-like breath of death was formed.

That area has been completely flooded with this deadly magical energy, forming a black mist with a diameter of more than several kilometers, like a semicircular cover, covering it, including the air, even under the scorching sun, it will not dissipate.

Sean wisely withdrew from the scene, where the viewing distance was no more than ten meters.

In that case, the chances of being able to find out the root of the Klein tribe's mutation are very slim, and the chances are very high that one's own life will be involved.

Heroism is unacceptable, the matter of saving the world by one's own strength.

Not without.

Poor people who are less likely to exist in reality, more exist in biographical novels.

Sean didn't think that by destroying the source, all these undead soldiers of the Klein tribe could die silently, nor did he think that he could do this by himself.

Once anything has something to do with the magic energy, it will become abnormal.

A pair of golden armor with sufficient energy can make Ake Messer invincible, and the dragon skeleton battleship full of energy moves back and forth like an unsinkable battleship.

The magic energy here is far more vast than what these two have shown.

Even if all the black powder cluster bombs brought in by the black collar were replaced with jewel bombs, they wouldn't be able to pose much threat to them.

Its only function is to provide direction for Sean's subsequent investigation, and most of the time revolves around this core area.

Skeletal Soldiers and Skeletal Knights are found around the core.

Based on his observations during this period of time, Sean still summed up a few more regular things.

The first point is the distribution of personnel. The closer to the core area, the more severe the undead state of Klein's soldiers.

This should be directly related to the energy of the death spell.

The closer to the core area, the more intense the energy of death spells in the air, the more this energy is usually absorbed, the more serious the undead characteristics of the body will be.

This reason is the same as the fact that the return to the ancient beast is closer to the energy reaction room, and the return to the ancient speed is faster.

The second point is that these undead Klein soldiers did not squat in the same position motionless.

They seem to have their own operating mechanism. In a unit of time, there will always be some undead Klein soldiers entering the state of patrolling and hunting.

During this process, Sean didn't see anyone who delivered the order, but the connection was extremely perfect without any loopholes.

For this reason, Sean highly suspects that in that mysterious core area, there may be an existence similar to the Tower of Law, which can remotely command these undead Klein soldiers.

The targets of the undead Klein soldiers hunting are those non-undead creatures that stray in by mistake, usually to catch them alive.

Regardless of whether it is dead or alive, they will be dragged to the core area by them,

No need to ask, it must be ready to transform them into the same kind.
