The lord is red again.
Chapter 597: Plane War to Save a Few People
Chapter 597: Plane War Launched to Save a Dozen People
21 Assists and others rushed out of the cell with a dozen wizard NPCs who needed to be rescued.
Looking at the red-armored soldiers wandering outside, the wizards felt heavy in their hearts.
“Kill!”
The shouts of fighting came from behind.
The crazy undead quickly filled up the road and rushed out, rushing towards the walking corpses in front of them like a flood.
The red-armored soldiers, who seemed to be completely unconscious, suddenly became excited and raised their weapons.
The moment they collided with each other, the undead were immediately harvested.
The road was too narrow and crowded, with too many undead squeezed out, so everyone couldn’t use their fists and feet. In order not to hurt their teammates, everyone was suppressing themselves.
“Let’s go!” 21 Assists and others led the NPCs and quietly left from the other side.
“They…” The wizards looked back every few steps.
Although everyone is not familiar with it, it is inevitable that their hearts feel heavy when they see countless people risking their lives in order to rescue themselves.
“Our mission is to rescue you.” 21 Assists’ expression was serious and earnest. “We will do this even if it means our entire army is wiped out!”
Isn’t it just an opportunity to play on the beta map? Completing the mission is the most important thing. Compared to the Cursed Land map, which no one knows when it will be truly opened, a new map that can be opened as long as the mission is completed is more attractive to the undead.
It represents new equipment, new skills, new resources, new bosses, and possibly new ways to play.
However, the tragic scene behind them, which was like a flesh-and-blood grinding wheel, made the wizards feel heavy in their hearts, and even their eyes gradually became numb.
The wizards could only force themselves to look forward. The sacrifice had already happened, and all they could do was run forward.
The process of escaping from the third tallest stone pillar was more difficult than imagined. Even though most of the attention was attracted by the battle over there, the part left for them actually had very little impact.
Desperation urged them to speed up their pace.
But an even more desperate scene appeared. A large number of red-armored soldiers appeared in front. They returned from the front line and brought a large number of prisoners with them.
More desperate, until…
“Kill!”
The prisoners suddenly launched a suicide attack.
Come again?
The wizards stared blankly at the group of captured people launching the attack, with dazzling magical light blooming from their bodies, and using their bodies to forcibly tear a hole in the formation of the red-armored soldiers.
The red-armored soldiers also launched a death attack. A force beyond the comprehension of ordinary wizards descended, as if an invisible hand was moving the battlefield.
“This way!”
Led by Brother Gou, a wealthy team composed entirely of mechanically modified undead is beckoning.
“They?” the wizards were confused.
“It’s stable.” Qiuyue, who had been silent, spoke.
And it immediately received nods of approval from others.
Yes, it’s stable.
When it comes to PVP, some undead with extremely high combat awareness may be the winner with their talents, but when it comes to PVE, the rich undead who can quickly clear maps and spend money like crazy are the absolute protagonists.
The alchemical map cannon that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars per shot, the simplest and most extreme stacking of materials, is called expensive fireworks. Lind was even reluctant to waste resources to manufacture it, but he still compromised after the undead spent money.
The power is only slightly stronger, and the special effects are very eye-catching.
We also have a stable production line, with people constantly purchasing our products, so there is never a shortage of buyers.
And now, there is a group of rich immortals waiting for them in front, and they feel a strong sense of peace of mind when spending money.
Mechanically modified undead people’s bodies are deformed and quickly equipped with modified parts.
Artillery fire, sweeping fire, and throwing.
Explosion…a violent attack.
The red-armored soldiers, who had always held an absolute advantage, were the first to be hit by the money offensive from another dimension.
One of the soldiers, who was wearing red armor and holding a huge sword in his hand, raised the sword to block in front of him. The flames from the explosion engulfed him. The flowing flames hit his breastplate, shattering the flesh on his chest, penetrating his bones and coming out from his back.
The flames came out like poisonous snakes, drilling into the soldier’s head along the blood vessels. People nearby could see that the blood vessels in his neck were filled with fiery red flames.
He opened his mouth and flames burst out of it.
The nose, ears, eyes, and even the entire head were wrapped in flames and burning.
“Boom”
The corpse, with a shattered chest and a burnt head, fell to the ground on both knees, powerlessly collapsing.
He is just a microcosm of this battle.
More and more people are dying in brutal attacks.
The sky suddenly turned gloomy, and the cursed land, which was already dim and dark, was now truly plunged into darkness. Only the light released by magic illuminated people’s eyes, allowing them to barely distinguish directions and friends and foes.
“We must run faster.” The NPC wizard looked up, “It must be Lord Jawbone.”
“He can control the weather?”
“This is his territory.”
The NPC wizard emphasized, “His! The third tallest stone pillar in the tower! The absolute lord.”
“So arrogant?”
The undead never lack the spirit of resistance. The strength of the enemy does not scare them, but instead makes them full of fighting spirit.
“Give me a spring, and I’ll give it a try.”
It’s not surprising that a strong person can control the weather, but it seems very abrupt in a world where there is obviously little shortage of resources for life.
In the pitch-black environment, heavy rain fell, pouring on everyone like ink, extinguishing the gathering magical flames.
The sticky touch made the undead feel something was wrong.
The negative effects that subsequently appeared on the body, such as “slowing down”, “vulnerability”, “increased consumption”, etc., made the undead even worse.
It wasn’t an advantage before, but now it has become more troublesome.
The rain grew heavier and heavier, gradually forming a flood that seemed to really swallow up the entire world.
The undeads struggled to move through the water. Every time they raised their legs, they were dragged by the rushing water beneath their feet. The further they moved forward, the deeper the water became, submerging them up to their waists.
“Where is the buddy who can fly? Come and save him.”
“Can’t fly, no airspace allowed.”
“Depend on!”
All kinds of yelling and cursing continued.
In such a bad situation, it was probably rare good news to find that the red-armored soldiers were also slowed down by the rain.
“Are there any brothers who can use water magic?”
“It’s over here.”
“Hit the water in front of us!”
By attacking the water surface and breaking through the waves, their running speed became faster and faster. After the undead who were good at frost magic joined them, they directly started to surf forward.
“Wuhu~”
“ohhh——”
Only the rescued wizard NPCs looked at each other in bewilderment. It was the first time they saw someone who could find fun while being hunted, and the way that magic was used was a little beyond their understanding.
“There is a curse in the water.” The expressions of the wizard NPCs became very ugly.
Bad situations come one after another.
Although Lord Jawbone did not go far on the road of curse, the bad thing is that this land is called the Cursed Land, and the existence of the curse is like the magical elements of the material plane, everywhere.
“Take this.” An undead man handed over a pill.
“What is this?” “Curse resistance medicine.”
How could people wearing Abyss Suit not have resistance medicine? The Abyss rift monsters they encountered were much crazier in terms of curses than those in this world. The curse bar might be full in the time it takes to take a nap inside. Unlike this world, although there are curses, they are very stable.
The wizard NPCs looked confused.
How come you have everything?
“Front, rush out!”
“Master Jawbone, won’t you chase us out?”
“Maybe we’re not important.”
That’s right, only a few hundred people escaped, which is nothing compared to the large army in the rear.
Some mechanical believers who rebelled crazily were of no research value, and some wizards who were drained of their resources were also of no value.
The strange thing was that when they left that range, it was like seeing through a transparent fish tank. Looking back, they saw dark clouds covering the top of the stone pillar of the third tallest tower. The raging flood was only an arm’s length away, but was blocked by an invisible wall of air.
There are lightning and thunder over there, and there is a gentle breeze over here.
Qiuyue stretched out his hand, and his fingertips lightly brushed across the flood. Then he quickly retracted his hand and stepped back as if he felt something, and at the same time, a magic bullet was thrown out almost as if by mental reflex.
A red-armored soldier with a broken body tore through the barrier and staggered out with sticky rain on his body.
“puff!”
The magic bullet hit him right on the forehead, knocking his helmet off.
Before he could make the next move, Qiuyue’s magic fell again, and the flaming arrow pierced into his eye socket, pushing him back into the flood with a powerful impact.
“Come on!”
Now that they were temporarily freed from the constraints from behind, the undead rode as fast as they could, using various ways of traveling to show off their magical powers, leaving the wizard NPCs staring in amazement.
Pushed by the pace of war, they moved closer to where they came from.
“The portal is ahead.”
However, the anti-invasion war, which had not yet ended, became the biggest obstacle ahead.
“This is?”
Only the wizard NPCs didn’t understand. When they heard this group of people say that their companions would come to help rescue people, they just thought that there was a small group of people responsible for guiding them.
They just need to travel carefully and keep their presence low.
But the fact is just the opposite. They were very arrogant and swaggered along the way.
Not only that, the people responsible for guiding are not just a small number, but are endless!
The number is suffocating.
Is this war really launched just to save myself and a dozen other people? How could I have the courage and ability to do that?
“This is a plane war.”
A large number of enemies encountered the “humans” who rushed over to counter the invasion, and a terrifying battle broke out. The terrifying and fierce battle set off waves of crazy flames.
Thunder roared, light burst out, water gushed out, and blood splashed.
In a battle of this level, the personal strength of ordinary people is meaningless. Most people have become blood-thirsty and blindly wave their weapons around, and then take the lives of their enemies under the guidance of the god of death.
Or… his attack would fail, and this would be the prelude to his own destruction.
“They suddenly became really crazy.”
The mystic next to Mag said that he could observe the general situation on the battlefield. Although the cursed soldiers always had an absolute advantage, the endless influx of invaders made them feel powerless.
How many enemies are there?
The unknown is the scariest thing.
The sudden attack allowed the undead to successfully tear a small hole in the front line. The undead who rushed back from the third tallest tower stone pillar escorted the wizard NPCs into it.
Like ants crossing a wall of fire, they huddled together, sacrificing the outer part of themselves to protect the safety of the inner part.
“They seem to be preparing to escort a group of people away.” said the mystic.
“It’s unstoppable.” Mag said.
Although he knew that there must be something wrong with the figure they were trying so hard to send back, he saw it too late. The mad counterattack of the material plane invaders might not be able to completely break through Mag’s defense line, but if they were really determined to protect a dozen wizards, Mag really had no way to deal with it.
When the wizard who needed to be escorted successfully left through the portal, the air suddenly became quiet.
It was like an important mission accomplished.
Those who had been launching suicide counterattacks committed suicide one after another.
They couldn’t win, couldn’t get out, and there was no benefit. The more they fought, the more they lost, so the undead people chose to commit suicide to leave the current map.
The difficulty of this picture is still too high, and we need to think carefully about it.
Inside the third tallest tower stone pillar, covered by dark clouds and heavy rain, the battle was still stalemate.
The encirclement was formed. Although some of them escaped and some were killed, it was a real big harvest for Lord Jawbone. He captured a large number of material plane wizards who could use magic crazily.
“Let’s go, I don’t want to play anymore.”
“I’m leaving too. I’m going back to watch the plot.”
“The monster in this picture is too perverted.”
Bang, bang, bang, bang…
The undead quickly committed suicide, turned into ashes and were then swallowed up by the heavy rain, disappearing without a trace.
The clouds parted.
Visibility improved, and the dark clouds that had not yet completely dissipated and the twisting whirlpool of flood water were fully revealed. It was a desperate scene like purgatory with floating corpses.
“Roar–!”
Lord Jawbone, who had been silent all this time, let out a long howl.
……
Mag stared at the battlefield in a daze, his brain working rapidly. He had to think clearly about how to respond to the questioning from the red-robed wizard.
There were heavy casualties, no gains, and even the active invasion turned into a counter-invasion. Although the defense was successful in the end, it was not his job to defend successfully. The job was to successfully tear through the opponent’s defense and invade the material plane.
Mag suddenly regretted not rushing into the meat grinder-like battlefield. Perhaps if he was seriously injured, he could have avoided some punishment.
I don’t know if it’s too late to secretly hurt myself now.
He looked down at his arms and thighs, but couldn’t find the part that he could easily give up, so he gave up reluctantly.
“boom!”
The violent vibrations in the space finally drew Mag’s attention back.
The mystic’s voice came to my ear.
“They blew up the portal.”
“what?”
Mag wondered why the portal had to be blown up if it was stable.
But then he thought of a terrible possibility.
“The other side must completely open up the passage to the cursed land!”
Those crazy people in the material plane might feel that the pace of this invasion was not fast enough, so they decided to directly blow up and expand the passage to make it easier for more people to come and kill them.
Once this idea appeared, it grew like a weed.
“Absolutely not!”
Mag turned around and said, “Immediately give the order not to stabilize the portal for the time being to prevent them from rushing over. Everything must wait until I meet with His Excellency the Red Robe Mage.”
“Yes.”
