Chapter 522 Necromancer and his partner (new January, please support your monthly ticket!)
It was also an uneasy night for Michelle.
The old man sat at the table, his blood-filled eyes staring at the report in front of him, his two thick eyebrows frowned and entangled. It was not until after reading the above content that the old man raised his head and slapped the table hard. The huge sound echoed in the room, which shocked people's ears and ears were slightly dull.
"Damn it!!"
Then he raised his head and looked at his subordinates who were as white as paper in front of him.
"Such important news! Why is it just passed to me now?!!"
No wonder Michelle was so angry, because in that report, the old commander learned that from last night to early morning, a total of seven border patrols had disappeared, and a total of 140 militias were missing. What made Michelle the most angry was that such a situation occurred, and the other party did not report it as soon as so many incidents happened before he reported it in panic... Damn, what did those bastards do?!!
Of course, the old man didn't know that at the beginning, the border guards did not take these militia seriously. In their opinion, these rural militias were unorganized and disciplined, and it was not surprising that they would go home without reporting occasionally. So at the beginning, when a militia patrol did not come back on time, they didn't care too much, but with the disappearance of patrol teams, these people also began to get nervous. Although these guys were stupid, they were not really fools. The current situation was so weird that they quickly sent several patrol teams to find them. As a result, they didn't expect that they waited and even these patrol teams did not wait to come back!
This is a big deal. Because of the lack of manpower, the Fifth Division used local militias on the periphery of Grosso. Their disappearance also made the parents, wives and children of these militia very uneasy. They came to ask for questions. Seeing that the matter was getting bigger and bigger and out of the scope they could control, these guys reported upward in panic.
"A bunch of idiots! idiots!!"
Michelle slapped the table angrily and vented his anger, but even so he knew that the situation in front of him could no longer be restored... Although the Grosso border area was not an important place, seven patrol teams disappeared all of a sudden, which would cause chaos even in normal times. Not to mention the current sensitive situation... Thinking of this, Michelle was having a headache.
As one of the commanders of the Southern Legion, Michelle announced the reformist party from the Principality of Moon
Li's approach is very unfavorable, because in his opinion, this is not a way to solve the problem, but the current situation is no strong, and people are under the roof, so they have to bow their heads. So Michelle did not resist like several of his colleagues. In the end, he ended up being imprisoned. But he was also unwilling to go to the front line to get to the West.
I's compatriots killed each other and finally Michelle was arranged to be responsible for the garrison and jing jing work. At the beginning, Michelle was not too worried about anything, because Grosso was in the hinterland of the south. Although this was a food-producing place, it was not so easy for the royal family to send people here to destroy it. At most, they were only the bandits and beasts. But now they didn't expect that such a thing would happen... What's going on?
After venting his anger, the old man fell into deep thought. He always felt that this matter was unusual. If it was the royal family who sent people to sabotage, it would be too high-profile. If one or two patrol teams disappeared, it could also be explained that they accidentally encountered those sabotagers lurking in, and in order to avoid leaking the news and killing people to silence them. But after killing so many in a row, the fool should also understand that he would definitely be more vigilant. And until now, there has never been a similar news from the front line. Since those people can quietly cross the front line so many layers of defense to reach here, they should not be such a rookie.
But if it weren't for the enemy sent by the king's party, what would it be? Wild beasts? How could wild beasts kill so many militias quietly? Although militias are not as good as regular soldiers, they have also undergone military training. No matter how powerful wild beasts are, they can't kill all of these people. Moreover, I have never heard of wild beasts appearing in the surrounding areas of Grosso recently?
In the end, Michelle made a decision. He sent his deputy to lead an infantry column to investigate the cause of the matter, and announced the raising of the jing ring in the Grosso area to prevent any accidents. For the old man, this is the only one he can think of at present. The best solution...
Just when Michelle was having a headache about the situation in front of him, in the mountains of Grosso, which was not very far away from him, Rhodes looked refreshed and sure to hold it. He looked at his palm with a smug look. At this moment, in Rhodes' palm, more than sixty dark-faced soul cores were lying quietly, and at first glance, they looked like dirty glass beads.
For Michelle, it was a terror, and for Rhodes, the experience of this night was a surprise. In fact, Rhodes himself did not expect to kill so many people. Originally, he just planned to destroy two or three night patrols as much as possible, and then use the talent of the Lord of Hell to extract some soul cores to prepare for his plan. However, Rhodes did not expect that when he had killed four patrols, the other party sent a patrol team to search without knowing how to do so... Faced with such a big gift, Rhodes naturally accepted it with a smile.
After this night, his harvest was quite abundant. Sixty soul cores lay quietly in Rhode's hands. Compared with the soul cores used by Rhode before, these "low-quality" goods cannot be compared with them in terms of shape, appearance or size, but Rhode does not care about this.
Then, let's get started.
Thinking of this, Rhode closed, and the summoning array emerged from his palm again. The blue soul light formed lines and extended down from the back of Rhode's hand and soon spread. With his movement, the sixty soul cores that were originally accumulated in Rhode's palm, which were about the size of a small pearl, flew up and slung beside Rhode.
Wake up all.
Faced with the system's inquiry, Rhode answered without hesitation, and then he felt his body tremble suddenly. Then an extremely cold air burst out from Rhode's hands.
The soul cores suspended beside Rhodes exploded one by one, and they turned into powder with a "bang". They disappeared into the air, leaving only a thin mist like white smoke. But soon, the mist began to condense and then flew towards Rhodes.
……………………
The system prompts appeared in front of Rhodes. At the same time, cards appeared in his hands. To be fair, the numbers of these cards were really not high, and the numbers on both ends of offense and defense were mostly between 1-3, and they were even worse than those of the Soul Bird before the advancement. Moreover, their cards were also very simple and they did not have any special skills. Even in their introduction, they were just the most ordinary and ordinary sentence.
But this is enough for Rhodes.
Because these are just "deputies".
Among the summoning decks of Summoning Swordsmen, they are divided into two types: "main deck library" and "sub-deck card". The so-called "main deck library" refers to a complete summoning deck equipped with a complete summoning deck, while "sub-deck card" refers to those decks with relatively single types. Compared with the "main deck library", the genres, types and even functions of these "sub-deck cards" are relatively single.
In the world of Dragon Soul Continent, the profession of Summoning Swordsman uses a world. It can be said that each of their summoning cards is a microcosm of a world. A complete "main deck library" requires multiple types of cards to support each other.
First of all, we need to have the "core creature" in this card world - the dominator. This is the most important and only card.
Secondly, there must be a field card to project the card world into reality.
Next is two or three spell cards used to interpret this card world in detail.
Finally, there are various creatures living in the card world.
Among the summoning cards held by Rhodes, the closest one to the "main deck library" is the "Red Lotus Battle Card" where Qi Lian is located. Until now, Rhodes already has the "Seven Loves" as the core dominator, the "Seven Hell" and "Sulphur River" that interprets the laws of Red Lotus in detail, and the "Fire Killer" as the fire element creature. Now as long as Rhodes awakens the "field card" in this set of summoning cards, a relatively complete main deck library will appear.
In addition to the "Red Lotus Battle Card", the "Abyss Legion" is a real secondary deck, which has only five cards. From the current "Soul Knight" and "Nether Tentacles" it currently has, it is a secondary deck of dark genus xing. The characteristic of this secondary deck is to defend against strong attacks and weak attacks - this is also the specialty of all secondary decks.
Not to mention the "Sky Deck", until now, Rhodes only owned a "Bird of Souls". What's the year and month before he could get this card together.
What makes Rhodes confused the most is the "Holy Sword Deck". Until now, he has not even figured out whether Celia and Selestina exist as a single weapon or as a living creature. If it is a weapon, then the "Holy Sword Deck" should be an affiliation to a "main deck library". Conversely, if it is a living creature, it means that there should be a "core dominator" and "field card" in the "Holy Sword Deck".
The cards that summon swordsmen will only show their power after the main deck library is fully formed. In the game, between the high-end summoned swordsmen's confrontation, the completeness of the main deck library is almost overwhelming, because they are almost leading one world to attack another world, and trying to destroy and conquer that world. At that time, in addition to the skills and swordsman's own, the rest depends on who both sides have more main deck library, higher levels and greater power.
This is definitely not an exaggeration. In the game, Rhodes has a set of the highest-end complete main deck library "Dark Ritual". Many times, when facing the enemy, as long as Rhodes throws out the "Dark Vortex" of the venue card, he will soon wrap himself and the opponent in a darkness that cannot be seen without his fingers. This darkness cannot be dispelled by spells or eliminated. The opponent cannot see anything in this darkness. But on the other hand, all the creatures in the "Dark Ritual" dominated by Rhodes are fully fired in this environment, and the chances of hitting, damage and cursing are increased several times. Moreover, Rhodes himself can still see the opponent's every move here, and he will not be confused by darkness at all.
If you want to break this darkness, you can only dissolve this infinite darkness by allowing the mage to release a legendary eternal light spell, or let the existence of the same summoned swordsman call out other genus xing venue cards of the same level.
At present, this type of card is almost considered a garbage "deputy card". Except for the master of hell, the other talented summoned swordsmen will not use it. First of all, the deputy card cannot be supplemented into the "main deputy library", and they are only auxiliary at most, not to mention that these deputy cards are xing garbage. Apart from the scary number, who really knows who uses it...
Even Rhodes did not intend to rely on them all the time. The main reason for awakening these garbage decks was to this mission. After this mission, Rhodes would destroy all of these decks. Otherwise, when he uses the Legion Horn in the future, wouldn’t he have to add a group of slags with less than five combat power to waste his soul power for no reason?
"Master, I really don't understand, why are you doing such a bunch of waste?"
Watching Rhode awaken these immortal cards coldly, Selestina asked with some dissatisfaction. After a whole night of tossing and hearing enough of the militia's screams and howls and wails of the militia before death, and enjoying the feast of death and blood, the young lady's mood can be said to be extremely good at this moment. If Rhode could take her to the surrounding small villages and towns, and kill some people in a village, I believe the young lady would immediately put aside her before.
"Of course it's for acting."
Rhode said here, retracting the card in his hand. Then he reached out, took out a black robe from his space waist bag and put it on his body, then raised his hood, and took out the mask that looked like a white skull from his arms and put it on his face. Finally, Rhode took a rotten and ugly wooden stick from the side.
"Selestina, from now on, I am a necromancer, and you are my partner... Do you understand?"
“……………………………………………”
When she heard Rhodes' words, Selestina did not answer immediately. Instead, she looked up and down at Rhodes in a black robe and mask, then reached out to cover her mouth and chuckled a few times.
"Huhuhuhuhu, it's really interesting, master. I didn't expect you to have such an interesting side... Not bad. I like this suggestion very much, no problem."
Speaking of this, Selestina spread out her black wings that had been hiding behind her, and her huge black wings stretched out to the surroundings, showing an unparalleled weirdness and dimness under the bright sunshine.
"Now, I can't wait to see the expressions of those untouchables..."
Michelle's speed was not slow. In just half a day, the team he sent had already arrived at the border area where the incident occurred. After listening to the other party's story, the adjutant led the team immediately realized that this was a very, very strange and difficult task. According to what they learned, no one knew about the situation last night, no one knew about the situation. They didn't even hear any sound. Even when they organized the search, the patrol teams were ready to pass on the whistle whenever there was an accident. But what was puzzled was that until they disappeared, no one heard the whistle, as if they had disappeared silently in the darkness.
Without further ado.
Although he had just arrived here, the adjutant did not hesitate anymore as the surrounding situation was getting worse. He originally planned to take a break and set off the next day to find the missing militia and investigate what happened. However, looking at the people in the village who were anxious, worried, frightened and angry because of the disappearance of his husband and children, he had to change his mind. In order to appease the villagers, the adjutant decided to take a break and set off immediately after the rest and patrol and investigate. Of course, just in case, he did not separate the team to avoid the same tragedy.
It has to be said that as regular troops, their performance is indeed much better than those militia who became monks halfway through. Soon, Michel's subordinates discovered traces of battle and a large number of blood marks in the woods in the border area, which shows that the patrol team was indeed attacked.
But what makes people scalp numb is that after searching for several places, although they can see traces of battle and blood everywhere on the ground, they cannot see any corpse, which makes people feel even more strange. If it is a wild beast attack, the corpse cannot be bitten so clean. But if it is a surprise attack by the enemy, how could they be so good to bury the corpse? Not to mention whether they have this time, more than 100 corpses, it is not something that can be dug in one night even if they dig a pit.
So, where did these people—or corpses—go?
The sky gradually darkened.
Another attack site.
The adjutant squatted down and looked at the ground in front of him. The dark red blood on the soil looked a little dim. The solidified blood had merged with the soil. It was really strange. Why didn't he find a corpse here? What was going on? Judging from the number of footprints, the number of people on the other side was not large. How did they quietly eliminate these militias?
Thinking of this, the adjutant couldn't help but look up and glance at the sky that was gradually dimming. Then, a strange thought suddenly jumped out of his mind.
Could it be that…………………………………………………………………………!
As if he was catering to the adjutant's guess, the surrounding environment became dimmer and he himself was a little restless because of this guess. Soon, the adjutant no longer had the mood to continue paying attention to the blood in front of him. He stood up and waved to the soldiers beside him.
"Okay, let's go back so far, and wait for the next day..."
"Wooah......!!"
Before the adjutant could finish his words, suddenly, a shrill scream came from the forest not far away, and the scream suddenly stopped just now. When everyone heard the scream, they were shocked. They turned their heads at the same time and looked at the place where the sound was made. Then the well-trained soldiers quickly unsheathed their swords, quickly organized the formation, and looked there nervously and uneasy--they also saw the strange end of the patrol militia with their own eyes. Now, is it finally their turn?
Thinking of this, the soldiers couldn't help feeling nervous, uneasy, fearful, and a little expectant—they could finally see the true faces of those guys.
There was a silence in the forest, and then the black shadow began to sway gradually. Then, a man in a black robe and a white bone mask suddenly appeared in front of them. He glanced around and then sneered.
"Hehehe......I thought it was something. It turned out to be a group of prey... It's really interesting. I didn't expect that someone would dare to come here to seek death..."
The black robe's figure was hoarse and unpleasant, but the soldiers had no time to take care of this. Their eyes were already wide open, and cold sweat kept flowing down their cheeks. Because at this moment, they had already seen the girl floating behind the black robe and spreading a pair of black wings. At the same time, they also heard the slight "rustling" sound from all directions. Immediately afterwards, they saw white bones holding weapons and quietly walking out of the forest. Their empty eyes were burning with blue soul flames, and the breath of death spread, even making people in this hot autumn
i felt an unprecedented cold and terrifying chill. The adjutant in charge of command was even cold at this moment, which meant that his most terrifying guess had become reality! At this moment, he finally knew what happened to those patrol teams!!
The Holy Soul is above!!
