Chapter 280: Capture the Floating City(1/4)
Zuo Si still knows nothing about what is happening in Faerun.
In other words, even if he knows now, he doesn't have the mind or energy to pay attention to it.
The reason is simple. He encountered a lot of trouble during the process of regaining the floating city of Plantia.
And this trouble only appeared when his undead cannon fodder was almost halfway to the central tower.
On the empty main road, there were twelve undead spellcasters wearing the robes that symbolized the archmage, and they jointly performed an unknown magic ritual. As a result, more than 30,000 undead creatures were instantly taken away from control.<
/p>
Not only that, they also cast a magic similar to a large-scale wall of force, which physically prohibited all physical creatures, including golems, from approaching.
Obviously, Zuo Si's guess came true.
The corpses of those dead archmages not only successfully evolved into high-level undead creatures with sanity, but also controlled the magical power during their lifetimes, and formed an alliance to once again become the supreme ruler of the floating city.
But unfortunately, the previously astonishingly powerful sealing magic has now become an obstacle to seizing the core control area of the central tower.
They were probably trying to crack it, so they did not show up immediately when the lich launched a tentative attack, and did not choose to take action until they entered the warning range.
From the rotten faces and clothing that were almost unrecognizable, Zuo Si probably recognized the identities of almost half of the people.
There is no doubt that these guys are powerful spellcasters who are almost as powerful as the Necromancer Asta.
Especially the old man wearing a light blue robe, who is the supreme leader of the Wizard Council of the Floating City of Plantia, known as the "King of the Sky" Isido.
He invented a series of amazingly powerful spells and magic rituals, including "Starfall" and "Air Explosion".
Although someone like this did not go through complicated magical rituals and was simply killed by the plague and then violently resurrected by negative energy, it is almost impossible to completely retain his consciousness, memory and all spell-casting abilities.
But even if only a small part remains, it is enough to become a very difficult enemy.
"Sir, I think we have to take action. Otherwise, once those undead spellcasters crack and control the central tower, they may use the powerful power of the floating city to drive us out directly." Jeffrey looked serious.
suggested.
"Perhaps we can prepare a magic ritual and launch a preemptive strike against them. Through the observation and detection just now, I have locked the locations of seven of them."
As she spoke, the female lich who was good at prophecy magic marked several points on the map of the floating city.
"If they are smart, why can't we try to have some communication and negotiation?"
Vanessa put forward different opinions, while her eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement.
For a necromancer like him, such advanced undead spellcasters formed through natural evolution are undoubtedly excellent research objects.
In fact, in these days, this guy has collected quite a few types of undead creatures that have never been seen in Faerûn.
By studying these special "mutants", Vanessa not only mastered more techniques for utilizing negative energy, but also developed several new methods of making undead creatures and constructs.
The zombie giants in the Mage Tower, which are five to six meters high and are stitched together from dozens or even dozens of corpses, are the best proof.
But so far, these killer weapons have not been put into the battlefield.
"Damn! You are simply crazy!
Undead creatures that have been repeatedly eroded by negative energy for a long time in their natural state and eventually evolved into sanity are fundamentally different from us mages who actively transform into lichs through magic rituals.
It is almost impossible for them to retain too many memories and personalities from their lifetimes, but slowly form new personalities during the process of evolutionary awakening.
In other words, these undead spellcasters do not have so-called humanity and cannot even understand the thinking and logic of living people.
Communicating and negotiating with such a guy is simply unworkable.
And the power they control is too dangerous and must be completely controlled or destroyed."
This time, Jeffrey stood clearly on the opposite side of his old friend.
By reading the knowledge and magic theories collected in the library of the mage tower, he has realized that this world has invented many magics that are comparable to the nine rings and even legendary spells.
Although these spells are more difficult to learn and more complicated to release because there is no magic network, they can be used without any restrictions.
Therefore, even some guys who can only be considered low-level mages according to the standards of Faerûn can still release high-level magic with astonishing destructive power.
In addition, due to the significant increase in the difficulty of learning magic, anyone who can become a mage or a high-level mage in this world is without exception a true genius with an intelligence attribute of 18 points.
What's more, once contact occurs, the identity of one's outsiders will be immediately noticed by the other party, thus losing the possible advantages of launching a surprise attack.
To sum up, Jeffrey does not think that negotiating with the other party is a good idea, nor does he think that the other party will be willing to give up capturing and controlling the floating city.
But Vanessa was not a vegetarian, and immediately retorted: "How will you know if you don't try? Maybe the Scroll of the Undead can control them.
Don’t forget, this necromantic magic artifact has helped us control more than thirty death knights, and four high-level ghosts that can emit a howl similar to a nine-ring magical banshee.
Once these undead creatures with amazing spellcasting abilities are controlled, the organization's power will immediately rise to a new level."
"It's too risky! Don't forget, our first goal is to capture the floating city, not to study the undead ecology." Another lich also stood up and objected.
Although Vanessa is the second-in-command in the organization, they will not give in easily on matters like this that involve the interests of all core members.

Seeing serious internal differences, a group of lichs finally set their sights on the organization's supreme leader.
Looking at the light curtain force field outside the window that blocked the way to the central tower, Zuo Si lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered: "Get ready, we will launch a general attack in half an hour.
Only by capturing the central tower of the Floating City of Plantia can we have the capital to establish a foothold in this world, and we can also know the approximate locations of several other floating cities.
This is the highest-priority goal, and everything else must be pushed to the back.
And I'm a little worried. Since there are so many high-level undead creatures with spellcasting abilities and wisdom appearing in the floating city of Plantia, other floating cities should be similar.
If they control those floating cities, they might start trying to use these killer weapons to conquer more places, kill all the creatures they can see, and eventually turn this planet into a world where only the undead exist.<
/p>
At that time, the floating city of Plantia will be the fortress and weapon for us to fight against."
"Got it."
"Your will is our command."
"I will activate those construct armies immediately."
……
Suddenly, the lichs present began to take action.
They are not fools and understand that the future described by Zuo Si is not groundless, but has a high probability of happening in the next few years or even more than ten years.
If there were really no living people in this world and only the undead remained, then its value would be greatly reduced.
Soon, with the start of the war machine, the previously unexposed army of constructs and stitched giant zombies were continuously sent to the front line to replace the low-level undead creatures that were almost unable to hold on.
At the same time, the lichs also began to cast spells together, pouring large-scale destructive magic onto each other's heads.
Especially those locked undead spellcasters were hit with saturated energy almost in the first round.
Three of them didn't even have time to apply protective magic, and their entire bodies were torn into pieces under the impact of the raging energy storm.
Since they are not lichs and do not have so-called phylacteries, they are truly dead when they die, and there is no chance of resurrection from the dead.
As for those who still have magic items or have been blessed with protective spells in advance, they got together in the shortest possible time and used the energy stored in the base mage tower to barely support a protective barrier.
Just when they were hiding in the protective barrier and seemed to be discussing countermeasures, Zuo Si, who had been blessed with a lot of protective and strengthening spells and used the [War God Possession] card, held a holy sword shining like the sun and fell from the sky, attacking
He used his creator's ability on the outer wall of the barrier to destroy its stable support structure in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, he raised the holy sword high above his head and slashed it down.
The next second...
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!
The indescribable bright light instantly enveloped everything within a hundred meters of the surrounding area.
Thousands of low-level undead were purified on the spot in front of these lights full of positive energy, turning into tiny particles and dust that could not be distinguished by the naked eye and scattered in the wind. Some undead creatures like ghosts did not even have any trace of their existence.
Stay.
What's even more frightening is that when the white light gradually dissipates, the ground eroded by negative energy actually shows incredible sacred properties.
For the few high-level undead spellcasters who had survived the positive energy explosion just now, their feet on the ground and their skin, rotten flesh and bones exposed to the air were all burned bit by bit under the intense burning of the positive energy.
Decomposition of points.
"Are you alive?!"
