Chapter 60 Surrounding
"Bang!" Stark stomped the alchemy items under his feet that looked like the flying eye demon. A pool of dark green juice penetrated from under the steel boots. It seemed that this alchemy item also incorporated some biological materials.
"Since the right time and place are not on our side, then we will crush them with our strength. If there are only more than a hundred low-level undead spirits, even if a few undead magicians are mixed in, they will not be our opponent."
Stark's face was ferocious, and Longer and his two-year-old danger made him a little angry. Since Qin Lun reminded him, the man realized that there were only six old members of the fortress in the team. If this continues, as the youth said, even if the fortress team retains the title of silver, it is no longer the original fortress.
The apostles did not respond to Stark's words. It was indeed not difficult for their team to deal with one or two high-level necromancers. Stark could hold up one. Although Kelly was not an MT, he could also hold up one independently. Others, including the elves who are good at shooting, could gather fire to the Necromancers in minutes.
In the Iron Star Castle, the terrier that was comparable to a legendary creature was killed by them. Even legendary creatures are like this, what are one or two high-level undead mages?
In fact, after the apostles reach the advanced level, they will leave the previous team combination mode. High-level apostles like Kelly have a complete mature skill system. Except for the inability to provide healing assistance, other team roles can be temporarily assumed.
As for the legendary profession... Although the world of Torrell is known to be full of legends and there are many demigods, don't forget that this is just a small valley in the remote mountainous area of Am. If a legendary profession really appears, then the team of Am cavalry led by Boni would not be able to escape at that time.
"Let's go, go inside." Kelly patted the dust stained on her knees with a calm expression. The golden ponytail was swaying behind her head, and the sound of clogs under her feet seemed to be crisp in the quiet valley. The figure of the female martial artist was not tall, covering everyone behind her like a city wall.
"Phillip, pay attention to the alchemy demon that Angelo just shot down, it seems to be able to hide from our perceptions." Robin approached Philip and whispered.
"Well, alchemy objects have no biological aura, and they are no different from stones in perception. Instead, we magicians can sense elemental fluctuations in their bodies." Philip nodded, rushed two steps, and walked in front of the team with Kelly and Stark.
The road ahead was very peaceful. After the first wave of attacks failed, the enemies in the valley seemed to have stopped, allowing the apostles to drive straight in without any more obstruction.
Everyone encountered some scattered low-level undead along the way, mostly skeletons or zombies. However, these undeads seemed to have no command, and could only attack living creatures by instinct, and they were very small, and were knocked down by Kelly and Stark in front.
"Guru!" A skull whose skeleton was broken up rolled over. After taking a glance, Qin Lun suddenly lit up his eyes and picked up the skull and checked carefully.
"What's wrong?" Ilistin next to him looked over and crawled over.
"Look, its eyes!" Qin Lun pointed curiously at the skull's eye socket. It was not empty, there was a red flame that looked like smoke and fog. Although the skull's body had fallen apart, the flame seemed to be unaffected at all and was still burning in vain and ethereal.
"This is the soul fire of the undead, and it is also their core and weakness. The undead is known as undead creatures. In fact, once the soul fire is burned out, they will still die." Milleras's voice came from behind.
"Ah, Milleras, you are becoming more and more like a ghost, and you don't walk without sound." Ilisten was startled by his sudden voice and condemned her angrily.
Milleras touched his nose awkwardly, but did not make any excuses. Ilisten is actually very strong. Regardless of the Apostle's law and body, she may be second only to Kelly in this team, and is close to the category of a higher-level profession.
However, the elf druid was not very brave. After entering the Valley of the Undead, the lively and active female elf in the past kept snuggling to Qin Lun. Although she claimed to be protecting Qin Lun, in fact, anyone could tell that she was a little scared in her heart. She was not afraid of those skeletons, but the dead silent environment of the valley.
"Then is it dead now?" Qin Lun handed Millas the skull with his eyes flashing with fire.
"Although still alive! But..." Milleras pulled out a long iron arrow from the arrow bag behind him, inserted the arrow into the skeleton's empty eye socket and stirred it a few times, looking at the dissipated soul fire and said, "Now is dead!"
"What a cute little skeleton, you are so cruel!" Ilistin said dissatisfiedly with his mouth raised.
Milleras was speechless when he heard this. Looking at Ilistin's back as he walked away, Qin Lun patted his shoulder sympathetically and warned in a low voice: "Who told you to lie to her in the first place? Remember not to deceive the female elves in the future. All female creatures are very revenge!"
Milleras nodded with emotion and immediately reacted. What does it mean not to deceive the female elf? This is too ambiguous!
...
"Something is wrong!" As everyone penetrated into the valley, Boni began to frown.
"Maybe the enemy speculated that it was not our opponent, so he retreated into the depths of the mountains with those undead?" Robin looked at the heavy armored knight in confusion. It was indeed a bit strange that he had not encountered the second wave of attacks after walking so far.
"Impossible. The previous attack shows that the enemy must be in the valley, and the terrain of this valley is registered with the Am Guard. There is only one entrance and exit here, a gourd-shaped valley. The innermost part is surrounded by a cliff close to 90 degrees, and the enemy cannot escape us." Boni said uneasyly, "Maybe we shouldn't go deeper. Just block the entrance of the valley and wait for my two companions to attract the garrison.
"Hulu Valley? So is there a large open space inside the valley?" Robin thought of something and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Knight Boni, do you think the enemy may have concentrated the low-level undead and plan to fight us head-on in the open space?"
"It's possible, but although the valley is a little empty, it's also full of rocks and rugged. Without cleaning, it's impossible to fight a group." Boni said with certainty.
Robin breathed a sigh of relief. The heavy armored knights said that they had encountered hundreds of undeads in the valley, but they did not fully enter the valley, so this number could not be used as a reference for all the undead magicians' military forces.
According to the valley they entered, the undead magician who had not yet met may have two hundred to three hundred low-level undeads. However, judging from the encounters of Boni and others, the undead magician can only command more than a hundred undeads to cooperate in combat, and other low-level undeads act on their instincts.
So did the undead magician keep his power when fighting with Boni and others? Robin believes that there is no possibility.
It is not a trivial matter for the undead to appear outside the Yunwu Mountains. The undead magician who caused this matter could not know this, so they will try their best to cover up the traces in the early stage. If the undead magician can command more undead spirits, Boni and others will not be able to escape, so the siege attack they encountered at that time should be the limit of the undead magician's ability.
Although Robin thought that her judgment should not be wrong, the beautiful captain still felt uneasy. She couldn't tell where the uneasiness was, it was just a kind of intuition brought by her long-term apostolic career.
"Captain Robin, maybe we should follow the advice of Knight Boni and retreat to the valley entrance to wait for reinforcements. After all, they only take one day to go back and forth." Stark's face was a little solemn and said in a muffled voice.
In fact, at this time, the apostles with rich adventure experience began to feel uneasy. After communicating with Qin Lun and others in a vague manner, Stark changed his original intention and agreed to a more cautious plan.
Of course, this is not a matter of mission rewards. Although there are very few 10,000 broken crystals, and the combined number of more than apostles is also the value of one or two pieces of dark gold equipment, not to mention the subsequent exploration of the world.
"Well, let's quit!" Robin was very decisive and immediately accepted everyone's opinions with ease.
In fact, what the Knights of Boni is worried about is that the undead in the valley appears outside, and they do not have to ask the mercenary group to destroy all undeads now. As long as the entrance to the valley is blocked and the undeads are not allowed to come out, when reinforcements arrive, they will be equivalent to completing Boni's commission.
"Dong, dong, dong~~" Just as the team turned around, several spherical objects rolled down from the high places on both sides of the valley, which attracted everyone's attention.
"It was the cavalry I arranged at the entrance of the valley!" Boni took a few steps forward vigilantly, looked at the spherical objects, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
They were the heads of several humans. Although their hair was covered with scattered and their blood-stained faces were a bit hideous and terrifying, the heavy armored knight still recognized his comrades at a glance.
With the emergence of these heads, dense figures appeared on the walls on both sides of the valley, as well as their front and back.
"Skeletons, zombies, ghosts, and hatred... Damn, it turns out that they have never appeared. They want to climb up the mountain wall and go around behind us!" Stark and others were shocked.
"This number... there are at least thousands of undead!" Robin bit his teeth, his face pale, "Damn it, I'm in trouble this time!"
The undead slowly surrounded. Although most of them were low-level undeads, this number had already changed qualitatively. Although the valley was still silent, the rustling footsteps seemed to be pressing towards everyone like a mountain, and everyone had an unknown shadow in their hearts.
The undead stopped when they approached to a certain level, as if waiting for some command.
Then, the dense team of undead separated like waves, and three tall knights emerged. They held long-handled sabers in their hands, countless silver runes were engraved on the black armor, and two cold lights burst out from behind the iron face of the helmet, staring at everyone without emotion.
"Nee~~" The nightmare man under the knight's crotch stood up, and the burning hellfire on the horse's hooves were reflected on everyone's retina.
