Chapter 0738 things are complicated
Of course, Li Xun also saw Jack's efforts.
This time, letting him contract a level 17 tree demon is an affirmation and reward for his efforts. As for the necessary trials and tempering, Li Xun has already considered it. The invitation to the abyss mentioned by the legendary demon warrior is about to come, and I'm afraid that this trip will inevitably have a big battle, which will allow little Jack to take the opportunity to train.
Anyway, with Li Xun guarding him, I guess there will be no big problems.
However, before setting out to the abyss, Li Xun had to handle some daily affairs at home properly.
The first major event was of course the "remnants" of the cemetery left in the territory of the Undead Parliament.
As the corpse tomb demon Mars traveled day and night, he was not far from the destination designated by Li Xun. It was a small town on the edge of the northern territory of the Undead Parliament, Andorhar. It was backed by the Whispering Coast, surrounded by rolling hills and steep mountains, which was a natural and dangerous place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Unfortunately, it was because the terrain there was too difficult and dangerous that the small town of Andorhal was directly razed the place to the ground by the Union of the Undead.
It was under the instructions of Li Xun that the corpse tomb demon Mars rushed to the ruins of Andorhar with the "remnants" after the Battle of Kuromu Lake, and regained his roots there.
The surveillance forces sent by the Undead Council have been embroidering them far away. Seeing them camping there, the Undead troops also built a fortress in another dangerous place 50 miles away, named the Undead Barrier, stationed a large army and firmly blocked the ruins of Andorhar.
Although the elite main force brought by the corpse tomb demon was gradually transferred away by Li Xun, only a small and elite tomb guarding force was left, the undead Union Council did not rush forward to completely destroy them, but chose to let them die. Although the Yingying ghost Li Xun was impregnable, he did not delay him from following the flow and leaving a nail there.
Even though the Undead Council was so fierce that Li Xun had only lost a corpse tomb demon, he could only lose a corpse tomb demon. However, the next fierce revenge in the Grand Cemetery may not be able to bear it. Since the return of a large number of old legendary spellcasters from the Mage Guild, several lichs in the Undead Council have also become much lower-key. In addition to the fact that Novis is still fighting, several other fireheads have been extinguished one after another, showing the other party's unintentional intention to provoke a war.
In fact, several legendary lichs have long hated him for the poisonous snakes that are hidden in the Great Cemetery and are eager to eradicate them as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the main force of the Great Cemetery is always hidden in the dark, just like the Hydra, and what they reveal is only part of their strength. Even if the legendary lich is ruthless to cut off the exposed snake head, it cannot resist the other party's powerful regeneration ability, and they come to harass each other over and over again.
In this case, if you don’t understand the main body of the cemetery, the Undead Coalition will never make up your mind to stubbornly fight it. The Great Cemetery may be able to afford it, but the Undead Coalition will definitely not be able to afford it. Once the flaws are seen by outsiders, those legendary enemies may be unwilling to be lonely.
Now, the territory around the Undead Parliament seems to have not changed much, but behind the back, the countries bordering the Undead Parliament have begun to secretly increase troops on the border. It is hard to say whether there is any influence exerted by legendary figures. Otherwise, if the legendary lich is famous, how can those countries dare to provoke the fire of the Undead Parliament in this way?
In short, before the Lich leader Shane VII can escape, and before the legendary Lich Lagong returns successfully, the remaining three legendary Lich really don't plan to cause trouble. If everything can be delayed until the Northwest plan is successful, then the peace situation in front of them is something they can't afford.
After simply calming down the defense work at the Corpse Tomb Demon Mars, Li Xun quickly focused his attention on the second thing.
According to the message sent back by the Demon Wizard on the Abyss, the soul breath of the Death Singer Karthas had briefly appeared in the Abyss World, but unfortunately it was completely cut off before contacting him. However, before the contact was interrupted, he had passed back an inexplicable plane coordinate, not from the Witcher World, but from the Abyss World.
The coordinates of this plane have been identified by the demon girl Molica and should be located on the 489th floor of the abyss plane - Valley of Poison.
There was once ruled by a powerful Barolo Demon named Tarnheim, although he had disappeared. The atmosphere on that plane was a fog of sour vapor, constantly being supplemented by volcanic eruptions, which left a scene of complete destruction.
Although Tarnheim was missing, the demonic minions guarding the territory were still maintaining the territory and were very unfriendly to the uninvited guests. There were many demon lords from all over the place, all fighting for the vacant plane lords.
For such headless intelligence that is more like a false alarm, the demon wizard reported it to the cemetery master after repeated recurrence. Li Xun had some strange feelings when he received this information. Out of importance of soul intuition, Li Xun decided to recruit a small adventure team to sneak into the 489th floor plane to investigate. If there is any abnormal movement inside, it would not be too late to send the cemetery army.
This extremely dangerous adventure mission was taken away by the Doomsday Messenger. He picked up several more partners among the mercenaries in the Great Cemetery, and then left the chaotic land and stepped into the portal to the Wanyuan Plain. At present, the two small abyss planes controlled by the Great Cemetery do not have a portal or way to directly reach the Poison Valley. If you want to go to the 489th floor, you can only go to the Wanyuan Plain to try your luck first, and maybe you can find a direct portal there.
After the second thing was handled, Li Xun began to pay attention to the third memorandum submitted by Zena, the lord of the Yuyue Fortress.
As a cemetery city built by the Grand Cemetery overseas, Yuyue Fortress naturally has the convenience of communicating with the Sea Clan and is also an important platform for the Grand Cemetery to conduct trade transactions between the Sea Clan. Over the past six months, Zena has done very easily and has almost built Yuyue Fortress into a trade capital.
However, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. From Zena's recent memos, we can see that the troubles at Yuyue Fortress have come.
On the one hand, it is troubles from within the sea tribe.
Of course, fair bartering is beneficial to both parties, but there are those who are lazy and opportunistic in each group. The monthly trading of Yuyue Fortress with the surrounding sea clans has undoubtedly attracted the coveted attention of some guys. Some malicious sea clans began to try to plunder and loot the sea clan caravans on Saldo Island, and sent troops to block the waters around Saldo Island, and there was a striking attitude of going to the island to loot and loot at any disagreement.
This can only be said that Zena did a good job in the early confidentiality work. The cemetery city behind the invisibility was never exposed. Standing on the surface was a fake city where Zena was mixed with fish eyes. Perhaps it was too hidden, which made some sea tribes lose their awe, and then the big thorn came to the door.
Zena naturally had a way to deal with such military provocations. However, the intervention of another wave of forces made it difficult for her to deal with.
This second wave of forces comes from the Temple of Justice.
The last time I was hit by the gecko's tail-cutting plan, the Temple of Justice was led to Half Moon Island by the dragon lich Winnoshes, which initially solved the risk of exposure to Saldo Island.
Unfortunately, with the popularity of Saldo Island, this mysterious force that suddenly rose up has once again aroused the suspicion of the Temple of Justice. In recent times, many knights and priests from the Temple of Justice have entered and exited the coast of Novis, making people unable to feel at ease.
At present, the Grand Cemetery is entangled with the Undead Council. If you unilaterally defend against the sea tribe invasion, Zena, as the cemetery city lord, can complete a military operation of this scale. But once it is involved in the Temple of Justice, she has to report to the cemetery master first.
Otherwise, she would not be able to afford to be guilty of going to war with the church without authorization.
He communicated with several senior city lords in the cemetery and consulted the Dragon Lich aides in turn. Li Xun had to issue an emergency order to investigate the recent updates of the Temple of Justice to the Blood Demon subordinate.
To be honest, with the slow infiltration in recent times, the Blood Throne with the High-level Vampire as the core has gradually inserted its subordinate forces into most human kingdoms on the Klein continent. However, in areas with relatively strict church forces, only the Blood Witcher level can conceal the ubiquitous evil detection. Therefore, the Blood Witcher headed by Sarah has been sent to these countries, where they silently operate the underground intelligence network of the cemetery.
This is also one of the main reasons why Li Xun rarely sees the group of blood warlocks recently.
After making a decision on Saldo Island, the following are trivial matters near the Underworld.
Since the Grand Cemetery sent troops directly to wipe out Rasmulfier City, a heavily guarded undead Fortress has been established on the ruins of Zhuoer City, firmly blocking the Undercity behind it. However, recently, the lower passage of the Undead Fortress has seemed a little uneven, and there are obviously some unfaithful underground forces that are ignorant of the life and death to peek at the reality of the undead.
These damn guys are indeed remembering to eat and not beat. The destruction of a Zhe City cannot extinguish their endless greed. They dare to cast their coveted eyes on the Underworld.
As the main city of the cemetery, Undercity is the core of all cemetery portals. Once there is any change, the free flow of the entire cemetery will be stuck. Moreover, the tears of Yasha, the "artifact" of the cemetery where Li Xun settled, are also placed here, which is absolutely unsightly forbidden.
