Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 1169 Launch (six)

"Ah~" A scream reverberated in the underground tunnel, and a dark rune knight waved his two-handed greatsword, which was as long as a person, and threw the dwarf corpse on the weapon to one side. The corpse was heavy. The collision hit the wall of the tunnel, splashing out countless blood, and then slowly slipped to the ground.Soon, the blood flowing from the dwarf's corpse stained a large area of ​​the ground, and the dark rune knight didn't care about the smell of blood in the air, and wandered across the pool of blood, leaving behind A long series of bloody footprints, and the sound of his footsteps spread far in the empty dwarf tunnel.

It has been several days since Nicholas’ undead army invaded Blackrock City, the capital of the dwarves, but the progress has not been particularly smooth. Although they achieved quite satisfactory results in the initial sneak attack, they went deep into the underground tunnels that extend in all directions. Later, the undead army's offensive slowed down significantly.

Dwarf warriors are good at defensive, especially in their homeland with the help of those narrow terrains to give full play to their advantages, and because Blackrock City goes deep underground, the undead legion's oversized combat units such as Frost Bone Dragon and Bone Bone Beast are fundamental There is no way to enter, and just throwing ordinary skeleton warriors, undead creatures into the battle, can’t take advantage of the number of undead legions in a narrow space, so in the end Nicholas can only use the lich and dark runes in his hand. The knights and giant bone golems formed teams and attacked the dwarves separately.

Nicholas’s method was very effective. Soon his army achieved a phased victory. They invaded the center of Dwarf Blackrock City, which is the busiest and most prosperous business district in the Dwarf Kingdom. The Dwarf King Renos also lived. Here, when Ryan and the others entered Blackrock City, they also smelted the mysterious ore in the blacksmith's shop here.

The dwarves who had lost the business district became sober instead. They no longer engaged in positional battles with the undead army, but began to use their own advantages and hide and seek with the undead.After tens of thousands of years of excavation by dwarves, Blackrock City has already possessed countless tunnels. Not to mention outsiders, even the dwarves themselves cannot fully record these tunnels in their hearts. When faced with the undead army that invaded the hinterland, this complicated traffic also It became the last resort to stop the enemy.

The dark rune knight walked along the tunnel for a while and entered a fairly spacious area. There were a lot of barrels, food, and some damaged equipment that were too late to clean up. Obviously there were dwarves here not long ago. After passing by, there were only three passage entrances that appeared in front of the black rune knight.

The dark rune knight stands in the center of the spacious area. Originally, when he set out, there were 3 liches, 5 dark rune knights, and 20 giant bone golems in the whole team, as well as some elite skeleton warriors and females. Undead creatures such as demon souls, but when faced with the countless entrances of the dwarves, the entire undead team had to choose the strategy of splitting and chasing them. As a result, they split up and turned into this dark rune knight alone. Go forward, and it's time to make a choice again.

The dark rune knight was a holy knight of mankind before his death. Nicholas raided the royal knight’s cemetery on the day Catherine and Fernando XIII married, stole more than a thousand dead holy knight corpses, and the demigod lich personally shot it. They were transformed into powerful undead creatures.These sacred knights were experts in military and martial arts, and under the support of sacred power, they can exert powerful combat power. Now that they have become undead creatures, demigods replaced sacred powers with dark powers, making these dark Rune knights can launch more terrifying evil attacks.

It is also for this reason that these dark rune knights have independent thoughts, just like those liches, but they are no longer warriors fighting bloody battles against evil dark forces, and become the most hated undead creatures in their lives. One of them, this is probably the greatest tragedy of these heroes.

The dark rune knight only stayed for a few seconds before making a choice, because it found that there was only one entrance with traces of dwarves passing, and obviously those dwarves had escaped from this passage.According to the order of Lich Lord Nicholas, the dark rune knight should try to weaken the resistance of the dwarves as much as possible while looking for a channel connecting this plane to the nether region. When this channel connection is found and successfully opened, it can be let from the ground. The legion of the half-devil lord Kuzer, who came from the heart abyss from afar, entered this continent. At that time, humans would be overwhelmed, and the legion of undead could act more unscrupulously.

"Da! Da!" The dark rune knight's footsteps spread far in the empty dwarf tunnel. This is the biggest feature of the underground tunnel. If there is no special talent, there is no way to hide his whereabouts.

"Huh!" When the dark rune knight entered the tunnel less than 50 meters, a large wooden barrel fell from the top of the tunnel. The wooden barrel was tied with a strong rope, drawing an arc in the air. Screaming and smashing towards the Dark Rune Knight, the latter almost subconsciously raised his hand with a sword, and split the big wooden barrel open. As a result, all the liquor in the barrel was sprayed out, showering the Dark Rune Knight. The whole body is wine syrup.

"Kill him!" The voices of several dwarves sounded in the tunnel. Several torches broke the darkness in the tunnel, flew to the Dark Rune Knight from different positions, and ignited immediately after touching the latter's body. With that wine syrup, the dark rune knight turned into a fire man.

"Haha, great!"

"This guy killed many of our companions and burned it! Burned it!"

Several dwarves walked out from the hiding place holding their weapons. They were excited watching the dark rune knight being swallowed in the raging flames.This dark rune knight has been chasing them for more than a day, and many of the dwarf companions who have fallen behind have died in its hands, which naturally made the remaining dwarves hate it, and only then set a trap to deal with the dark rune knight .

The joyous laughter stopped abruptly, and the dark rune knight, who was supposed to have lost his life under the flame, came out unharmed. The black armor on its body still burned with flames in many places, but it did not cause damage to this armor. Any damage.

"Ah, hurry..." The dwarf closest to the Dark Rune Knight had only had time to say so much, and was slashed by the swinging two-handed giant sword. His upper body fell forward, but his lower body was backward. It took a few steps before he fell to the ground, and the tunnel was filled with his painful shouts.

"Stupid guy." An icy voice came from behind the black rune helmet. The dark rune knight danced his great sword, hacking several times, beheading all the dwarves who attacked it before, and then casually smashed his two-handed greatsword. Lift it diagonally, allowing the blood on the sword to flow along the blade to the ground.

A dwarf who had not completely died was lying on the ground. He reluctantly raised his head and looked up, as if he wanted to see the true face of the demon in front of him. He didn't understand why the dwarves who had nothing to fight against the world suffered so much. He would never understand the price of the black rune knight, because the black rune knight’s great sword passed over his neck, and the dwarf’s head flew high, and finally fell into the depths of the tunnel, and the dark charm Knight Wen stepped forward again and continued toward the depths of the dwarven tunnel.

"Seventeen, eighteen...twenty-one, um, that's probably these people." Ryan, who had released the invisibility technique, silently counted the forces of the undead team in front of him, including 4 dark rune knights and 6 giants. Bone golem, 10 elite skeleton warriors, and 1 lich wearing a gray lich robe.

Ryan found this undead team about 70 kilometers southwest of the Cassano West Line camp. They are located in a lush mountain forest. If not for Ryan used a large area of ​​magic power to search carefully. , It's really hard to find them.Judging from the traces left on the armor of the dwarves, Ryan believed that this undead team was the one that intercepted the dwarves for help, but Ryan didn’t quite understand why the undead team was still near the ambush site. They were not worried. Did Cassano's revenge?

Now that he found the trace of the enemy, Ryan was not busy avenging the dwarf warriors. He carefully hid his whereabouts and observed silently in the dark. Ryan hoped to find more traces through this undead team, after all. It's just dawn, and he still has a few hours left.

Ryan’s waiting was not in vain. He quickly saw what he wanted to see. The gray-robed lich chanted some spells from time to time, and on the ground under its feet, a large area was also vaguely visible. The magic circle, apparently this lich is constantly charging the magic circle under his feet in order to maintain the operation of the entire magic circle.

Because of the distance, Ryan can’t observe the magic circle carefully, so it’s not clear for the time being what its specific function is. The only thing that is certain is that the area of ​​the magic circle is not large enough to bear the requirements of a powerful killing magic. Energy accumulation, and here is so far away from Cassano, so the magic circle should not be used for attacks against Cassano.

After waiting for more than an hour, Ryan found that the undead team was staying here to maintain the operation of the magic circle. This made Ryan’s curiosity about the magic circle stronger and stronger. With Ryan’s current strength, completely It is possible to prepare a powerful magic before the enemy finds it out to clear the undead squad in one fell swoop, but in this way the magic circle cannot be preserved.And the lich cautiously centered on himself and placed various magic traps in an area of ​​several hundred meters around him, and also mixed with those high-level undead creatures to patrol back and forth, and Ryan couldn’t even be surprised for a while. Sneak in under the opponent's situation.
