Chapter 557
Although Flying Eagle Messenger is no longer a cherished secret, many territories have even developed their own Flying Pigeon and Flying Crow Messenger, but the penetration rate is still not very high, like the Yongye Army Leader, which is so widely used and densely The tall ones are still the only ones with no semicolons.
And at this time, Sean's aerial reconnaissance artifact, the Thunder Golden Eagle, has already automatically navigated to it by locating the energy clone.
Sean threw the soul weapon that had been restored into the shape of a stick into the hands of Marshal Eriksson, and manipulated the thundering golden eagle, heading straight for the lair of the Klein tribe.
In this process, it is necessary to take a walk in the air to see how bad the situation has deteriorated.
Sean was greatly moved by what he saw.
Because what he saw was not only the horror of the Skeleton Knight, but also the perseverance of the soldiers led by the Yongye Army.
Even in the face of an enemy that is several times his own and is almost immortal, he still has no fear, relying on favorable terrain to carry out stubborn resistance.
The reason they did this was, of course, to gain more reaction time for the military leader, even if it cost them their own blood and lives.
Xiao En couldn't help slowing down his flying speed and lowering his flying altitude. He circled several times over every desperate battlefield, so that the soldiers of Yong Ye below could see him, and told them in this way that they would send their lives out The military leader has received the news.
Sure enough, bursts of excited shouts came from below.
"Squadron Leader, Rex Squadron Leader, look, look, look at the sky, it's the thundering golden eagle, it's the thundering golden eagle, the lord has arrived, the lord has arrived, the military department and the military leader have received our news Yes, our brother's blood was not shed in vain... woo woo..."
"Why are you crying? We have fulfilled our responsibilities and successfully completed the task. This is something to be happy about." Rex Squadron Leader scolded sullenly.
The squadron leader who was the first to confront the Skeleton Knight head-on, now looks a bit embarrassed, his chest, thighs, shoulders, and head are all covered with bandages.
Since there was no time to change it, the white bandage had already been stained black and red by blood and dust, and the war horse under his crotch had not been changed.
But he is in good spirits, his eyes are shining brightly, and he can't see the slightest sign of fatigue. This is the last gift left to him by the possession of the heroic spirit. After a series of fierce battles, it is the mana pool of the ultimate combat skill that he has repeatedly saved. It has been exhausted and is in a slow cooling state, and other combat skills have also been explained, and now it can only fight by combat skills.
Not only is he in this state, but the other Evernight soldiers are also similar.
It was only at this time that I personally felt how big the difference is. One in the sky and one in the ground dare not say, the disparity is absolutely huge.
If he still dared to charge at this time, even if the number of soldiers gathered behind him did not decrease but increased, there was already a centurion, let alone the centurion that pierced through the skeleton knight, it would be good if half of them could survive.
As for the soldiers gathered behind them, there were very few familiar faces, and most of them were unfamiliar faces, from other whistle squadrons led by the Yongye Army.
Because the attack launched by the Klein tribe was too sudden, there were very few people who could escape with a relatively complete organization like the Blade Squadron, and most of them were disabled.
Both the squadron leader and the deputy squadron leader ran out alone, and there were also scattered sharp-calling soldiers who ran out alone. Their captain and squadron leader died heroically in the process of covering their retreat. When he woke up, there was a strong smell of blood in his mouth.
Even among the Skeleton Knights, the great knights who activate their ultimate combat skills are temporarily invincible. If they escape alone, no one can stop them. In this case, they are still damaged. There is only one possibility.
That is, they were unwilling to give up their subordinates, and rushed to the battle repeatedly, trying to rescue them. As a result, they exhausted the mana pool of their ultimate combat skills, and died fighting hard.
Regardless of the squadron leader, deputy squadron leader who lost the soldier, or the soldiers who lost their own squadron leader and deputy squadron leader, they are all like lonely ghosts, a little bit lost, and the blade squadron has a relatively complete organizational system. When they touch each other, those who consciously or unconsciously will take it as the leader.
"I'm not sad, but happy!" the soldier replied wiping away tears.
"Cheer up, don't embarrass our sentry, the lord is still watching from the sky!" Although Squadron Leader Rex kept his face sullen, his tone was not exactly serious.
After all, there is one person in front of you, and they are all iron-clad men. Even if they are bleeding profusely, they don’t even make a sound. Their tears are not for themselves, but for those comrades who failed to come out alive. flow.
Since the appearance of Sean's Thunder Golden Eagle, Squadron Leader Rex has been staring at it closely, and he heaved a long sigh of relief until he watched it leave.
The soldier beside him asked just now: "Squadron leader, what did the lord say?"
Sean's circling just now was obviously not as simple as appeasing the army.
The air formation of the Yong Ye Army Commander is taking shape, and the current positioning is aerial reconnaissance, and then cooperates with the ground forces to advance.
On the battlefield, there is no way for the air organization to rush down to transmit information, so the Yongye Army compiled a set of flight terms, and passed information to ground troops through this terminology.
Although the air force has not yet been put in place, the middle and low-level officers of the Yong Ye Army have begun to popularize learning, and Squadron Leader Rex is undoubtedly one of the officers who is proficient in this.
Rex Squadron Leader showed a gleam of joy and said: "Your Excellency Marshal, you have been ordered to lead two main armies to attack, let us lure them into the encirclement."
"This order is a bit too general. Where is the main army of Marshal Marshal? Where are we going to lure it?" Banek, the deputy squadron leader of the Blade Squadron, frowned and asked.
His appearance was not much better than that of Rex Squadron Leader, and one arm was even twisted abnormally.
As the ultimate skill known for defense, the absolute barrier defensive ability is monstrous and can even provide shelter for many people, but the consumption speed is obviously higher than that of heroic spirit possession. Without two conflicts, the mana pool will be handed over, which is more or less obvious. A little irresistible.
When you return to Brother Port and fill out the feedback form on the use of combat skills, you must reflect this point and see if there is any way to strengthen the duration of the absolute barrier, even if the defense power is reduced a little.
After all, their reaction ability is there. When encountering danger, the body will instinctively dodge. The main threat is those unguarded arrows and fatal impacts.
It is enough to weaken their lethality to a certain extent, there is no need to completely defend, after all, they still have armor on them!
"Don't worry, we're just in for a pleasant surprise. Your Excellency the Marshal will definitely send out forward scouts. We just need to lead in the direction of Brother Port, and we will definitely bump into them. They will take over at that time." Squadron Captain Rex didn't think so. Worried about it, seeing the hurried appearance of the Jinglei Golden Eagle, it is definitely not for them. This meeting is just a coincidence. The real purpose should be to investigate the root of the Klein tribe in the black mist area.
"I was worrying too much." Banek's deputy squadron leader couldn't help laughing. His own marshal is known for his meticulousness, so he certainly wouldn't take these unstable factors into consideration. It sounds cruel, but this is the responsibility of a commander. .
When formulating the strategic plan, Marshal Eriksson may have regarded them as all killed in battle.
"Calculate the time, those lingering guys will catch up soon, let's go, let's take them around twice, the more time you have, the Marshal, the more prepared you will be." Squadron Captain Rex turned The head asked the soldier behind him, "Can you still hold on?"
"no problem."
"Small idea!"
"It's okay to do another ten or eight laps."
All the soldiers replied in one voice, although the body was exhausted, but the spirit was extremely excited.
"Let's go." Squadron Captain Rex nodded in satisfaction, and rushed out in the first place.
I'm going to take the skeleton knights behind me for another turn. These guys may have improved a lot in terms of tactics, but they still exposed a lot of problems during the chase and escape.
Their tactics are very jerky and rigid, just like the combat skills that the Yong Ye army leader has just popularized. Some places lack flexibility. This shows that there is still a big problem with their wisdom. There is definitely an element of trickery in it, which makes them unable to do it. Normal people think.
Coupled with the purpose of killing and killing, it becomes very easy to seduce.
If they send three or five people up, they will be indifferent, but if they send a squadron up, they will definitely hold on to it, and they don't have the ability to distinguish the enemy's number.
After discovering this, they can adopt dog-walking tactics. Several squadrons cooperate to lead them to run in stages, buying time for others to rest and recover their combat skills.
As a result, the advance speed of the Skeleton Knight was slower than originally expected, but the surging infantry and the whistlers were powerless, and their number was a fatal flaw.
After this unexpected episode, the Thunder Golden Eagle operated by Sean did not stop, and went straight to the core area of the Klein tribe in his memory.
But I didn't expect it to be empty. The black mist area that had shrouded this place all year round disappeared, leaving only a bottomless cone-shaped pit.
Only the strong energy of the death spell proves that this was once the core area of the black mist area.
To be more precise, the large cone-shaped crater with a diameter of no less than 100 meters viewed from the air was the chief culprit for the undead of the Klein tribe.
This large cone-shaped pit was not formed naturally. There are obvious traces of human excavation around it. Like a mine, it is spiral-shaped and goes deep. From the surrounding soil, it can be seen that the Klein tribe has dug this cone-shaped pit. It's not a year or two, and it is very likely that it was already underway before Jacob Jiang returned to his current life.
The re-flow of the Jacob River, changes in the weather in the Swamp of Despair, and a decrease in the amount of rainwater provided them with considerable convenience for this kind of excavation.
Sean didn't rush into the big conical pit, but carefully scouted the surrounding area.
As a result, the building was empty, not only the black mist area had already left, but even the undead soldiers were not left behind, either flocking to Brother Port, or leaving with the black mist area, leaving only silence.
Death Spell Energy definitely lives up to its name.
After wandering around for several times, Sean managed not to find a single living thing, including plants, in this area that was once shrouded in black mist.
Now that it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, it can be said that the vegetation is withered, but if the shrubs and trees are all dead, then there is a problem.
Judging from their dry appearance, these trees and shrubs have been dead not for a day or two, but for several years.
They didn't die all at once, they struggled to survive for a while during the black mist shroud, this was related to the strong death spell energy they radiated from the inside out.
I don't know if it is affected by the energy of the death spell. The shapes of these dead trees are extremely distorted, like figures struggling in pain. The trunks and branches are all distorted abnormally. Yue revealed painful and distorted faces.
If there are one or two trees, it is still a coincidence. If all the trees are like this, there must be an inevitable factor in it.
These twisted trees are sparsely scattered on the ground, like a ghost forest.
Walking into it rashly, coupled with the death breath emanating from the death element, it is not as simple as being creepy. People with a little weak will are likely to collapse on the spot.
Not only these trees, but even the land here is in a state of blackening as a whole, exuding a strong breath of death.
Needless to say, it was also eroded by the energy of the death spell.
Before the energy of this technique is dissipated, there will be no grass growing here.
Originally, the magic energy has a super nourishing ability for the body and soul, just like a great tonic, it can create many incredible things.
However, the energy of death spells fused with soul fragments has completely opposite characteristics and is super destructive.
But thinking about it carefully, this situation seems to be reasonable.
After the soul is fused with the magic energy, it will have exclusivity. Once the soul imprint is left in the magic energy, it is like a private seal and belongs to private property.
This is the case with death spell energy, which has already incorporated a large number of soul fragments. Once it has a master, it will be even more difficult to control. Once it enters the living body, it will go on a rampage, easily causing serious damage to body functions.
This is only a preliminary speculation, and the specific reasons need further research and verification.
After wandering around for half a day, Sean returned to the vicinity of the large cone-shaped pit again.
There are various indications that this is the core point of the outbreak of the problem.
The radiating energy fluctuations of death spells are the best proof.
The energy of the death spell in the large cone-shaped pit fluctuated, as if it was about to overflow. The air, soil, water, and even rocks all emitted this kind of icy-cold spell energy.
The lower one goes, the stronger the energy fluctuation of this technique becomes.
It felt like some monster crawled out of the ground.
Freezing doesn't happen overnight.
The death power of the soil around the cone-shaped pit penetrated so strongly, it was definitely not caused by a day or two, or a year or two, but by soaking for an unknown number of years.
Because Sean had seen a similar situation before—the energy reaction chamber in the northern fortress.
The materials used to build the energy reaction chamber are very common, many of which are even ordinary marble, because when it was built, it was already at the end of the ancient Andean Empire, and the official had no way to pay for it. Much money matters.
