The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Chapter 335: The Clouds of War

Spring is always brief and the weather gradually warms up with a few sudden heavy rains.

But it is obviously more suitable for human beings than the North, which is still in the cold, at least the woods love the climate, warm, humid and sunny, especially as plants grow.

But at this time, the southerly wind with the stench of corpses blows, and the clouds follow, and the temperature drops in vain, seemingly suggesting that the warm summer days are not yet here so soon, at least there is a deadly spring cold to pass.

Because the seeds of Dream Forest germinate in a somewhat similar form to oak, the evolving Forest of the New Dream has a beautiful name - Oak Town - and for his guardians, the dead have come too late to roam in worry and happiness at the same time.

Fortunately, the shadow of war seemed to be expected to take several nights, and they had more time to prepare for war, worrying that, according to custom, the longer they assembled, the more alarming the number and quality of opponents.

The earliest expectation was that the dead spirit should have arrived two days ago. When the result is that no trace has been seen so far. In many old hands, psychological preparations have been made. For such a long period of preparation, the opponent may have collected the front-line strength of Rainy Night City, and the number of dead spirit soldiers about to be attacked will be very exaggerated.

“If only it were for another ten days and a half months at night, a number of people in the Mage's country are said to be interested in the points of justice, and perhaps they will join us. ”

But from a sudden rise of smoke in the distance, the likely reinforcements still did not catch up, and it was time to come. Before the clouds covered Oak Town, a flying horse knight took the lead in landing, but had not yet landed, he shouted.

“Coming, coming! ”

What's coming? Actually, everyone's in their minds, but nobody's panicking.

“Close the gate! ”

“Inform all reconnaissance and hunting teams to return to Oaktown. ”

“Hasn't anyone notified Wood Spirits and Heads? Go to a newsletter. ”

This is the adventurer, noisy and chaotic, yet full of action, and minutes later, everyone knew the war was coming and started to get busy.

In fact, there is no need to disguise military intelligence. Sophisticated warriors can tell the size and time of arrival from the height of the rising sand and dust. The Soul's forward knights will be here in about two hours, and the warriors already ready have mobilized.

Large numbers of bows and arrows were placed on the walls, shooters began debugging their own bowstrings, trees pulled up, and stone throwers began their final ballistic calculations.

Less than an hour and a half later, the first skeleton cavalry had arrived, and the silent white bone knights, with their rotten saddles and mounted guns, circled around the walls, looking for defensive leaks in them. If the other side showed weakness, they would naturally become the sharp knife of the raid, but eventually, they retreated.

“Are you late? ”

Habourne, the Death Knight, finally abandoned his intention to assault and looked at the scene in front of him, for the first time questioning the Grand Emperors' judgment that the Republic was underestimating the life of these plants.

The rootstocks of the common sky tree bring the power of the mother, giving the nascent “oak seed” mature power, while the gradually germinating “primitive oak" gives the oak town new power. When the natural circulation is constructed, it is still called the oak town, but in most eyes it is already a fortress level defense.

The rising walls of the city, the patrolling group of tree people, these are not talked about for now, the most incomprehensible, but the green fortress has been extended, it is already a green tree, the trees are growing at a visible speed, one forest after another on this wasteland, the wasteland of the past has become grassland and woodland.

This is a miracle created by the overflowing forces of nature, and soon, this forest will become the nourishment of the "oak town" that continues to grow, and small natural creatures will be included in the big natural cycle, building a circle, eventually reaching self-balance, and by that time, just close to here, there will be countless hostilities and eyes watching you.

It was discovered that the opponent's defenses were complete. Forced siege by a cavalry regiment dominated by skeleton cavalry was only a useless drain. The spirited forward commander chose not to hesitate to retreat until his main force arrived.

And in a temporarily built mountain headquarters in Oak Town, adventurers' leaders are also discussing the current military situation.

In a sense, the Woodlings adhered strictly to the nature of the NPC, they obviously lacked complete trust in the adventurers, and the two pursued different mission strategies. Woodlings expected the town to grow, regardless of sacrifice, while the adventurers always pursued their best interests. Naturally, two sets of leadership teams emerged in the town, but at present, they are mainly cooperative, with little disagreement.

Two sets of leaders, one an alliance of adventurers and the other a decision-making level for the Woodlings, in fact, may also be the conventional model of cooperation between future indenturers and local forces, who will always expect their own men to be complete and fully under their command and carry out every command without compromise.

From the perspective of employers, from the point of view of exhaustion, the kind of temporary comrade who buys money as the most dangerous cannon ash is the best. The system he has worked so hard to cultivate must be preserved, but the Alliance of Adventurers must think for his own people, and they want to earn a lot of money without losing a single life.

The two are situated in different positions, naturally resulting in differences.

Cooperation, communication, proper trust, implicit relationship up and down, but not absolutely, the constant distance between the two sides and the pursuit of the intersection of interests under the same objective seems to be the best option at present.

And this alliance of adventurers is made up of more than a dozen senior adventurers who speak either at the top of a large mercenary corps or are themselves highly respected adventurers, representing the interests of scattered adventurers.

“The total number of dead spirits is about 60,000 to 80,000, from the flag, there are probably more than a dozen great monarch dead spirits, led by Davide of Essolivis...“

Unlike the scattered adventurers, who saw only the skeletal knights in front of them, the large and medium-sized mercenary regiments had their own investigative techniques, some were early patrols by empty cavalry soldiers, and some were spells of the investigation department of the prophetic sorcerer. The main circumstances of the Undead Army were already apparent.

And when many investigative techniques gather intelligence, they naturally come up with relatively reliable intelligence summaries, but they remain silent in the accounts, not because the opponents are too strong, but...

“Isn't that right? It's too little. Is it fraudulent? ”

Yes, quite unlike what was expected, there are far fewer dead spirits than expected. It was originally estimated that Essolivis' Sovereign King was all nested and likely to have more than a million troops overall, but only a tenth of the result.

A purse clip? Or just dump it here and start a war somewhere else? Many thoughts wander in people's minds because there are so many possibilities that no one dares to draw conclusions.

And all of a sudden, a pigeon flew into the tent and fell into the hands of the thinking Keith.

“… it appears that our employers have additional sources of information. ”

That's the intelligence notice given by Wood Spirit. It doesn't mean that for some reason, some Dead Spirit King refused to convene this meeting. Others have gathered Dead Spirit King and suddenly left the army. This time, the other side's battle power is too low, so that the adventurer can prepare for battle.

“For some reason? Doesn't the employer seem to trust us completely? ”

It is no wonder that those who are clearly dissatisfied with the fact that the adventurers are fighting for their employers without the trust of their employers.

An old man with white hair and pale hair shook his head helplessly. Simu, the parish bishop of the former Mother Earth, is now also a well-known adventurer.

“Oh, to be honest, are we completely trusting our peers again? Besides, that happened before. ”

He was obviously talking about a spy incident the other day, and since the incident was exposed, many teams have been much more careful, and no one knows if there are such dead spirits inside themselves.

“I also heard that the spirits are said to have invited other helpers, said to be the top 30 figures on the fairies' list? ”

“Top notch? It's unlikely. The top 30 are national treasures of all nations, how could they accept employment, and if there was a famous general, he would have been given command long ago, and we are not unaware of the weight. ”

“… have you forgotten? The fairies are not just ranked as generals of nations, but also have a more authoritative list. ”

“... Natural Disaster List!? Top 30 Natural Disasters? Are you sure you're here to help us, not kill us together? ”

The scene calmed down for a moment, and the list of natural disasters meant “If you accidentally encounter it, don't consider resistance, let alone counterkill, run for your life.”, the end of the list is all too cologne such monsters crushing ordinary demigods, and the top 30, basically, are the super trouble of the millennial monsters who can't die.

“Top 30? Want to be hired? King of Plagues or Volcano Tyrant? Neither one of us is a good thing! ”

The Plague King, a classical alchemist specializing in pharmacology, initially studied medicines to cure the plague, but for some reason the intended cure was burned alive as a source of the plague. As a doctor, he was declared heretic and blasphemer by the Church of the Holy See and pursued.

As a result, he truly became heretic, releasing his carefully bred mutant virus in retaliation, turning the entire parish where his enemies live into a human hell. The king of the plague today has been wanted by more than twenty countries and is still at large.

And he is also one of the few still active on the continent and accepts the "mobile natural disaster” hired by others. Of course, he is hired either to cure the plague or to create the plague. Apart from hatred for the holy church, he is considered the most harmless of the natural disasters except for revenge whenever he finds a chance. But he is able to climb to the eleventh of the natural disasters, or because the guy is said to be powerless, but once he dies and the multiple viruses on his body explode, the population of the entire continent will be reduced by one half. Even the holy church dares to say that he is wanted verbally, but nobody dares to do it.

If the Plague King is a man-made disaster, the Volcanic Tyrant is a real natural disaster, a giant lava scorpion that feeds on geothermal heat and operates in volcanic areas for a long time. He is said to have the ability to create volcanic eruptions at will, but in fact, he does come with the backdrop of volcanic eruptions every time.

Lava Scorpion himself has no enemies on this continent, and with a high level of wisdom, he craves flesh and soul as food, so he accepts war hire. Although it only accepts treasures such as subartefacts, and the royal family is not unemployable, the business has not been very good, except that it requires the lowest "attendance fee” for 700 sacrifices, and once it appears on the battlefield, it is the end of all enemies' losses.

After all, the contested Lake Good Field became a volcanic area, and an important strategic location became a lava lake, with almost devastating losses.

And that is precisely why there is a private covenant between nations that countries and individuals who employ volcanic tyrants will become public enemies, but there are always people in the world who have no way to go to despair, and although there is not much business, every few decades there is always a business that comes to their doors and can be fed once in a while.

Because his life is too “important”, he ranked in the top 20, creating countless tragic volcanic tyrants, only to the 29th ranking, you can see what the top 30 natural disasters are, and now Wood Spirit is said to employ a top 30 natural disasters, most of which still rank before volcanic tyrants, naturally frightens the adventurers.

“No, we have to ask Wood Spirit! ”

And when the scene was chaotic, Keith received a letter from his own member, and he had already heard what he was trying to ask.

“… is it true that the 'Wood Spirit Super Cute' team is no longer in the camp? ”

And on the side of the dead, it was a busy day.

In a way, I have some admiration and sympathy for the late king called Davy.

The older we get, the more afraid we are of death, the wiser the dead are not fearless lunatics. When that rising list of disappearances appears, the many spiritual lords who intend to hug their thighs must also think about the future.

“Sorry, I have some personal matters that need to be taken care of urgently, and I wish you all the best. ”

Until the cause of the disappearance is discovered, I'm afraid there are no spiritual lords willing to stay in the army. After all, the missing are not just low-order spirits, but more, even legendary and holy spiritual lords and monarchs.

But even if Davi turned to the Great Sovereign, he would not be able to respond, in which case no one would be willing to disappear so inexplicably unless the cause of the disappearance was found and eradicated.

And in the face of one missing list after another, Davy himself is losing his mind, but he also has a hard time riding a tiger, only one chance, if he fails... The emperors don't care why, failure is failure, nothing should have gone to the garbage pile long ago, Davy himself will lose everything he has, even bear the anger of the Great Dead.

And when the news came out that none of the departed had suffered any more from the fate of disappearance, even a fool knew that Davy was being targeted by something terrible, and how to choose if he didn't want to take any chances.

But most importantly, Davide himself, too late to come up with a policy of stabilizing the military mind... in fact, let alone him, is where I am, and I can't find the wrong place.

“War” is still nurturing, all reconnaissance spells cannot find the unborn, and the “integration contribution” of the dead spirits is an almost instinctive act of suicide, perhaps a call, if you want to go for a walk, it automatically breaks off, such a scenario is strange and unprotected.

If Davide were willing to disband the army, he would naturally be able to solve the problem from the new inventory, but he had no time at all.

So, the original 300,000 dead army ended up with only 56,000, and the vast majority of it was Davide's own system, which was a soul covenant, and Davide wanted them to die with the kind of "one way to the black iron" system of an idea.

But even so, Davy is still confident that he can hear the violin from his residence every day. It seems that this music-loving, dead man is still in a good mood and has a small concert every day, but...

“My heart is faint, I intentionally keep it the same as it used to be, but it actually reveals the essence of fright. ”

“It is true that we have reached the battlefield, and it is enough to raise our guard directly, so that we become more and more faint. ”

Heroise and I have plenty of leisure time to look lively, but in fact, I still have some doubts.

After all, the dead monarchs are willing to see Davy bad luck, but the dead monarchs do not necessarily see the expansion of the Mullins. The war that must be defeated can totally recall Davy, and Davy himself cannot go on the obvious path of necessarily dying and go to the dark. It seems that he must still have the deck of cards.
