Chapter 0478 hasty preparations
This sudden encounter obviously caught both sides off guard.
The two thieves had a flexible reaction, and their expressions were still dull and surprised, but the black iron dagger in their hands had already swept across the ghost's body with Li Feng.
The dull sound of "Puff" was heard, and the extremely sharp dagger seemed to pierce into the soft jelly, so empty that it was not under any force.
"Oh no, it's the ghost's physical damage reduction!" The two thieves were shocked and immediately understood that those few moves just now did not really hurt the other party.
Two ghost fires suddenly flourished on the fuzzy face of the ghost who was frightened and attacked. Obviously, the next moment its signature harsh roar would resound throughout the world. At this terrifying moment, a brilliant white light lit up on the ghost.
This brilliant halo with a hint of sacred meaning had just covered the ghost, and the ghost's ethereal and vague figure melted away at an extremely fast speed like boiling soup and pouring snow. This sacred damage is not something that the virtual body can avoid.
"Blessing Technique", a first-level divine technique, can comprehensively improve the physical fitness of the subject, but for undead creatures, it is a terrible torture comparable to holy water.
Although Etoon is a knight of apology, he can basically be instantly fired with this first-level magic. Therefore, he blasted the halo of the "Blessing Technique" magic to the undead without thinking in critical moments.
"Go... Go quickly..."
The three of them were all knowledgeable and didn't bother to hide their bodies. They buried their heads and rushed out of the illusion barrier and rushed towards the distance.
Their judgment was extremely wise. Almost as the brilliant sacred aura took effect in the illusion barrier, the undead castle in the distance was boiling.
In the area where the undead was entrenched, the fluctuations of sacred magic actually occurred. He took a scoop of water and poured it into the ant hole and immediately exploded the nest!
Many low-level undead attached to the castle of the Dead were still looking around in confusion, while those corpse witches, ghosts, and resentful souls with keen perceptions had already begun to yell in anger. Several cold and evil spiritual fluctuations quickly swept across the entire sky and the earth, and began to track down the source of the sacred magic fluctuation just now.
Soon, these mental fluctuations locked in a space near the edge of the illusion barrier. Not only did there be some slight fluctuations that had not yet completely calmed down by the sacred spell, but also a trace of soul ashes left after the ghost was destroyed.
In an instant, the undead castle roared everywhere, and the ghosts flying in the sky, and the resentful souls seemed to have received orders. Under the leadership of a high-level banshee who rushed out of the castle, they chased in a certain direction. A terrifying corpse witch wearing a black burqa also appeared silently in a bush, and took a strange eyeball-shaped alchemy item from the ground and put it in front of them to examine it silently.
...
Looking at the ugly corpse witch's face that almost completely occupied the light screen in front of her, Master Haiman couldn't help but lean back slightly. Then, amid the corpse witch's "hehehehe" sneer, the light screen suddenly darkened, exploded into a sky full of light and shadow, and slowly disappeared into the air.
After half a cup of tea, no one in the tent spoke, but he still looked at the empty air in a daze, pondering silently.
In the end, a knight with a very tall figure, short hair trimmed and a angular face stepped forward and whispered: "Sir, why don't you let me take a few people to pick you up?"
Judging from the style and badge of his armor, he was obviously a colleague of the same Knights as Knight Aiton.
Master Heyman shook his head sadly and asked to his side: "Have all the images just now been passed on?"
A pastor dressed in a clerk bowed and said, "It has been passed on. It is estimated that at this time, the Poluto Church, the closest to us, has received our message!"
"Yeah!" Master Hyman replied in a low voice, turned around and asked to the other side of the tent, "When can the space sign be set up?"
An elder who looked like a scholar responded with a touch of his chest: "13 hours, Your Excellency!"
Master Heyman sighed in an inaudible voice, and it seemed that the night would be extremely difficult. But then he cheered up and immediately summoned several knight leaders to start the defense matters behind him.
Unlike the teleportation arrays that mages are good at using, church forces prefer to use divine magic arrays guided by the space Taoist mark. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and their own advantages.
Once the teleportation array is built, as long as the crystal is supplied, it can be used without limit. However, the consumption of magic crystals is shocking. Except for the large organizations such as the Mage Guild, which have amazing resource reserves, dare to use teleportation arrays as a conventional means to transfer personnel and materials, other organizations and forces, even a few major churches, dare not be so extravagant.
The space road mark is much simpler than that.
The magical array is built inside each church. As long as a space road mark with guiding effects is built here, it can transmit some personnel and materials in a simple transmission array. However, the establishment of the space road mark needs to be combined with the local space and plane structure at that time, requires a lot of data calculation, and requires extensive plane and space knowledge, so it can only be completed by knowledgeable scholars.
Therefore, although the establishment of space road markings consumes few resources, it has extremely high requirements for construction personnel and is even more time-consuming. Unfortunately, the space road markings can only be built on a fixed ground, otherwise they can take a long boat and run a few miles away to set up space road markings on the ship.
However, at this node, there is no time to complain.
Since the enemy has been alarmed, the enemy must come out to search. At that time, the newly established camp will face the enemy's impact.
It takes 13 hours to build the space road mark. They just need to stick to it until it is built. Archbishop Van Crys, who stayed in the Church of Pluto, can directly teleport to Half Moon Island through the magic circle. As a 20-level saint archbishop, sweeping these undead will definitely be a plowing place to sweep the caves, which is easy.
But if the construction of this space road mark was destroyed, Archbishop Van Crys could only come here by boat, which would take at least 11 days. It would probably be that their bones had completely weathered by that time!
With a firm belief, the apologists and priests and missionaries in the camp gathered together to help the temporary hired mercenaries to strengthen the camp, and temporarily laid a solid small fortress along the tip of the crescent moon.
A large amount of supplies were moved from the hired merchant ships, and heavy wooden boxes were transported to the front line as a battalion. Various special armors with church marks were distributed one by one, trying to arm each combatant. The priest and priest began to gather in the center of the camp to pray on a large scale to make holy water, and distributed them to the knights who were standing on the front line one by one.
Although this temporary holy water is not as effective as the holy water obtained during prayer rituals in churches, it is in its large quantity and is the best way to deal with a large group of undeads.
When they completed all their preparations, the last ray of afterglow from the distant sky disappeared under the sea, and the entire camp fell into a dark shadow.
In order to delay the time when the undead discovered their own side, the camp extinguished all the bonfires, and all the combatants were wearing sharp sterns, and were fully prepared for battle. Even the priests who had always liked soft robes put on solid mail, picked up heavy shields, maces, flails, and formed a second line of defense with the knights.
There is almost no light in the dark sky, only the tide sound of the sea breeze blowing in the distance, rippling with ripples. 300 meters away is the dense jungle, where only the dark shadows are floating and swaying, and nothing can be seen clearly.
An hour has passed... There is no movement around
Two hours have passed... There is still no movement around
Three hours have passed... The ghost's signature and grim smile vaguely came from the depths of the jungle in the distance.
Everyone was waiting silently.
The shadow of the jungle in front of me was shaking and extending. Under the dark sky, the whole jungle seemed to suddenly come alive, stretching its body with its teeth and claws, intending to choose someone to eat.
The air drifting along the sea breeze is full of decay and evil aura. This is a signal that a large group of undead creatures gather and a sign that the undead will launch a large-scale attack.
"Raising the fire..."
Master Heyman's firm and low voice suddenly rang out, and what came up was more than ten bonfires prepared in various parts of the camp.
When fighting, the undead can not need any light, and even hate strong light extremely. However, as human magicians, church knights, and mercenaries need light. This is not only their need for fighting, but also their spiritual needs!
More than a dozen explosive flames that soared into the sky instantly illuminated the world and reflected the countless ghost shadows of the Tongtong in front of the camp.
This is a huge team of slaughtering in the end, consisting of tens of thousands of corpses that should have rotted underground. They walked slowly but uninterrupted steps, accompanied by skeletons, and staggered in the direction where the camp was.
At this time, the people waiting in the camp were not only shocked by the number of undead creatures, but also thanked that the camp location was correct. This is the crescent corner of Half Moon Island, where the terrain narrowed here, and the way was covered with loose beaches and strange-shaped reefs, forming natural barriers.
The zombie skeletons that were swarming here were forced to squeeze into a group here and flocked to this camp with a narrow width of less than 100 meters. Along the way, zombie skeletons were constantly squeezed down the beach by their companions and fell into the undulating tides. Although they were not washed away, they greatly delayed their speed.
Although zombie skeletons cannot be drowned, as low-level undead creatures, they are still naturally afraid of water, which is good news for the camp guards with single and lonely people.
This time, the Grand Priest Heman came with all the powers of the Justice Church gathered in nearby waters. Although the powers are different, they cannot be underestimated. Before the war, the Grand Priest Heman also made a statistics: a total of 7 priests, 25 priests, 11 missionaries, 41 knights of the church, 63 mercenaries, and the rest were several scholars and servants.
As for those merchant ships, they did not belong to the church property. After unloading their supplies, they sailed again and waited for their call in the nearby waters. Of course, if they were still there the next day!
Chapter completed!
