Chapter 1353 Truth, Cannons, and Artifacts (Seeking Monthly Pass)
The explosions of fire and the light of holy magic criss-crossed the battlefield outside the city, illuminating the originally dark night sky of Fantino.
The violent rumbling explosions were like thunder, constantly echoing in the city.
Under the illumination of the holy light, twelve ugly monsters, like maggots magnified countless times, slowly squirmed towards Vatican City.
Cannonballs kept falling next to them, and then bursts of orange-red flames bloomed.
Under the powerful firepower, pieces visible to the naked eye were blown away from the monster, flying in the air. However, the pieces of flesh that had been cut off by the artillery on the monster immediately grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, the priests on the top of the city couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.
After thousands of years of war, the priests have a good understanding of the undead creatures. But they have never seen such monsters.
It must be something newly developed by the undead. Otherwise, it cannot be so difficult to defeat.
After the day's battle, they had seen with their own eyes the power of Nai'an artillery, but such powerful artillery fire could do nothing against those monsters.
Everyone could only watch helplessly as they approached little by little.
Many people can't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
Seeing that such firepower had no effect, the artillerymen of the Eagle Division were secretly frightened.
All along, these bastards have been arrogant and arrogant with the artillery in their hands. Many young officers even uttered wild words after drinking too much cat urine: "The truth is within the range of the cannon."
And the cannon is in their hands. In other words, they represent the truth.
This naked imperialist power theory was originally to be severely criticized.
mbd. It’s enough for everyone to know this kind of thing. On the surface, we still have to mention persimmon oil, people’s pigs and so on. To deceive those dead people, you have to use the last little pants.
Tear it up and tell everyone that we are just hooligans. This is a bit too hooligan.
As the greatest philosopher and thinker of this era, Lord Luo has been busy picking up girls and fighting, and has no time to deal with the gang of dead soldiers.
This also made those bastards think that Sir Luo had acquiesced in their philosophical theories, and they became more and more arrogant.
But now, they found that they had been slapped in the face by reality. The powerful and proud artillery fire had no effect at all in front of those monsters.
The officers' eyes suddenly turned red, and they planned to defend their philosophical ideas to the death. They mobilized more than twenty artillery pieces to focus on bombarding the monster crawling at the front.
In order to hit the target more accurately, some officers even violently pushed away the gunners, tore off their military uniforms, cursed and went into battle themselves. Aim, load, and fire...
Continuous artillery fire exploded around the corpse demon. There were even several shots that accurately hit the body of the corpse demon in succession.
Although Lord Luo was accustomed to the precise strikes of later generations of artillery fire, standing on the top of the temple and seeing that his soldiers could fire such high-precision artillery, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Under the intensive artillery fire, the monster was blown into two pieces from the middle. Black smoke billowed from the wound, and it fell to the ground motionless.
Fantino on the top of the city couldn't help but cheer loudly: Now this monster must die no more, right?
Seeing that this concentrated fire attack method was effective, a staff officer quickly passed on the message over the phone.
In just a few seconds, all the artillery of the Eagle Division received new orders and began to conduct concentrated fire attacks.
The observation post on the top of the city quickly designated a new target for the artillery, and firepower from four directions was concentrated on the monster closest to the city wall.
On top of the city, a group of ascetic monks did not stop fighting.
They chanted prayers loudly, and then shot out the white holy light from their hands. The bright light was more dazzling than the searchlight, illuminating the battlefield outside the city brightly.
Under the continuous attack of the Holy Light, the zombie monster twisted its huge body, and its front end kept collapsing, but it soon expanded again.
At this time, seeing that the method of concentrated fire attack by the Eagle Division's artillery was effective, the ascetic monks and cardinals with high magical powers also followed suit and concentrated their attacks on one monster.
Several rays of holy light focused on a monster from different directions. The blazing holy light violently burned the monster gathered by dark spells. The milky white light even pierced the zombie monster and revealed light from its body.
The zombie monster seemed to have been stabbed with a red-hot knife, and it was struggling and twisting in pain on the ground.
The body that was dozens of meters long rolled back and forth on the ground, causing the ground to tremble.
In the next second, the entire front half of the body suddenly collapsed, and countless human corpses exploded and sprinkled on the ground like rain.
But what surprised everyone was that the second half of the zombie monster swayed tenaciously under the light of the holy light, trying to reassemble its body. It was obviously resisted by the lich.
Immediately, more priests devoted themselves to attacking the corpse demon.
The corpse monster's entire body was shrouded in holy light. After a few seconds, it finally collapsed and disintegrated, and its huge body disappeared completely.
It seems that as long as the magic power is strong enough, the zombie monster can still be destroyed.
This discovery made the Vatican people very happy: as long as they are monsters that can be destroyed by holy magic, there is nothing to fear. The most indispensable thing in Vatican City is holy magic. The high-level priests here who can cast holy magic are better than dogs.
There are many. In addition, there are many pastors, priests and bishops.
It won’t be a problem for everyone to stay there for a month.
But because the firepower will be concentrated on four or five monsters, the zombie monsters that have not been attacked are closer to the city wall.
The artillerymen and ascetics turned their targets at the same time, concentrating their fire to attack the next monster.
Judging from such results, it is not a problem to keep the corpse demon out of the city.
Just when all the Fantino on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, another black shadow slowly appeared among the corpse demon that had just been destroyed and turned into corpse fragments.
The black shadow rolled back and forth several times on the ground, its body expanding rapidly like a balloon.
"Damn it. That monster is alive again~!" Someone exclaimed.
The sound was so high that even the rumbling artillery fire could not suppress it. It spread clearly.
Everyone's heart sank and they all turned their heads.
They were shocked to find that the destroyed monster had returned to half its original size, and was growing in size rapidly.
A cry of lamentation suddenly came from the city: Why is this kind of monster so difficult to kill?
The lich hiding in the darkness outside the city looked at the city of Fantino and let out a sharp laugh. The hoarse sound was as unpleasant as scratching glass.
Seeing the Fantino people in a hurry but unable to do anything about the creatures they created, the lichs felt extremely proud.
Lich Marcel was suspended in the night sky dozens of meters above the ground. From here, he could clearly see the humans on the walls of Fantino. The green light in his eyes was shining brightly, and he whispered proudly: "I like it."
My babies?
This is specially made for you. The secrets of necromancy are something you will never understand.
We are the most noble people in the world.
We can touch God's realm.
We can create life~!”
In front of Marcel, dozens of lichs waved bone staffs, constantly infusing mana to control the corpse monster's rebirth and forward movement.
If you look carefully, you can clearly see that there are channels darker than darkness between the lich and the corpse demon, connecting them.
"Master Marcel," a lich flew up to him, nodded slightly and said, "Is it time to take the next step? The little ones can hardly hold on anymore."
Marcel glanced at the dark mages on the ground. Sure enough, many of them showed signs of fatigue and were about to run out of mana.
They have been constantly releasing and commanding skeleton soldiers to purify the city of Vantino to consume the power of the Vatican people. After such a long time, they have reached their limit.
This is also the shortcoming of all extreme force players. It is easy to push yourself to the limit. If you can't kill the enemy, then you will have to die.
Marcel snorted dissatisfied and cursed: "A bunch of useless trash~!"
But in their plan, they could not free up the priests of Vantino. The Skeleton Sea strategy was to contain the tens of thousands of priests in Vatican City.
Once there is no threat from skeleton soldiers and zombies, the clergy in the city will definitely leave the city on their own initiative and come out to besiege the zombie monsters and lichs like them.
Then it's time for the lichs to see Fantino's priest naval tactics. Tens of thousands of priests can happily take their turns a hundred times.
Just thinking about the bald heads of priests everywhere, Marcel couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
"It seems we can't wait any longer." Lich Marcel said helplessly in his heart, then waved his hand and said: "Let the rest out. Before dawn, there will be no more Vatican in this world.
Promise."
xxxxxxx
At this moment, Mazovia was already panicking. He could clearly see from the top of the Temple of Light that the slain zombie monsters were resurrected, and they were dozens of meters closer to Fantino's.
If this continues, the twelve zombie monsters will be unstoppable when approaching the Fantino city wall.
Just thinking about the consequences of letting them into the city makes Mazovia tremble with fear.
This kind of monster that is constantly devouring and expanding will never be full. It will eat one by one. Its body is dozens of meters long and dozens of meters wide. It only takes a few dozen minutes to swallow all the people in Fantino City.
The entire city was reduced to rubble.
Mazovia went up and grabbed Lorraine's arm, almost begging, and said anxiously: "Sir, my dear lord, you should think of a way quickly."
At the same time, she winked at Hilmeria, hoping that Hilmeria would also urge her lover.
Lorraine waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm thinking about it."
Mazovia was so anxious that she almost burst into tears and said, "We can't wait any longer. This is not the way to go."
Lorraine suddenly patted Mazovia on the shoulder and said flatly: "Old Ma, do you think that just a dozen corpse demons can wear down Fantino's city wall?"
Mazovia was stunned for a moment, thought carefully for a moment, shook his head, and said: "The lich's mana is not unlimited. If it continues like this, there's no telling who will win.
Just give us a chance, rush to the rear and find those lichs. Kill them, and these monsters will be finished without fighting."
At this point, he suddenly woke up and said loudly: "You mean, they still have reinforcements?"
Lorraine nodded and said: "If you want to fight, you have to keep some reserves on hand to decide the victory or defeat at the critical moment."
Mazovia nodded stupidly and turned to look at Hilmeria. His Majesty the Pope was not nervous at all and seemed to be full of confidence in his concubine.
The tug-of-war on the battlefield is still going on. If the firepower is small, it will not be able to defeat the zombie monsters, but if the firepower is concentrated, it will focus on one thing and miss the other. Under the city wall, there are cheap undead creatures like a sea wave, attacking the walls of Fantino one after another. The priests and
The soldiers of the Eagle Division were in a panic.
In the darkness where the light cannot reach, a group of tall black figures are slowly swaying.
A few minutes later, the people on the walls of Fantino noticed something unusual. They pointed to the edge of darkness and asked the person next to them: "Hey, there seems to be something there?"
"It seems like something is shaking?"
"What is that?"
"It seems like... a house?"
In the darkness, a large black shadow as tall as the house was shaking faintly. There must be something there.
This immediately aroused the vigilance of the Vatican people. A few minutes later, the light of the holy magic shone on the first monster.
It seemed to be as big as a house, and its body was in the shape of a sphere with the same height and width. There were several arm-like things scattered on the sphere, but each of these arms was as thick as a pillar.
There was a long horizontal crack in the middle of the ball's body. At this moment, the crack suddenly opened, revealing densely packed spikes and barbed teeth.
At the same time, a dull roar was emitted. Although it was still far away, it was extremely loud. It was like a hell monster.
That turned out to be the monster’s mouth~!
At the bottom are some short and thick legs, moving awkwardly towards Fantino.
This is a new monster that Lorraine has never seen before.
Next to him, Mazovia called out its name in one breath, gritted his teeth and said: "The combined monster~!"
"A combined monster? What are its characteristics?" Lorraine asked immediately.
"Liches' toys, evil creatures." Mazovia said bitterly: "It is made of human or various animal corpses, eats living people, has thick skin and is difficult to beat, and there are things added during refining, which are harmful to
Holy magic has a certain resistance.
The most disgusting thing is that this monster has a soul and intelligence."
"Soul?" Lorraine asked in confusion.
"Extract what was forced into the person." Mazovia's own voice was also a little chilly.
Even Lord Lorraine couldn't help being shocked. Just thinking about it made him realize how evil this thing was.
Mazovia recalled: "The lich used to use them as soldiers, with dark knights behind them, and the frontal attack was very powerful."
Lorraine nodded and said slowly: "I understand, high attack and high defense, thick skin and long blood, I hate fighting this kind of monster..."
Use the skeleton soldiers to hold back the Vantino people, and then use the corpse demons as the main force to attract firepower and cover the combined monsters. It will not be a problem to rush up at once and hit the walls of Fantino.
Some of those combined monsters are a little taller than the city wall, and the zombie demons are several times taller than the city wall.
"The war is still like this, no matter what, we have to fight for 'output'~!" Sir Lorraine sighed with emotion, waving to a dragon behind him.
Immediately, the two people walked aside mysteriously.
The young man whispered: "What are your orders, little brother?"
Hearing this title, Lorraine curled his lips angrily, but compared to the two-hundred-year-old dragon clan, the lord himself is indeed very small.
The guys from the Dragon Clan are not polite to Lord Lorraine at all because they are Vera's mother-in-law. They firmly adhere to the Dragon Clan's consistent behavior style - what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine.
He took whatever he saw, which made the prince lose his temper.
Lorraine could only smile bitterly and asked: "Does the lich have any other moves?"
"No more." The Dragon Clan said with certainty: "It's not easy for those lichs to create such a large formation."
Lorraine nodded and said: "All the trump cards have been revealed, let's show them off."
Just as he turned around to prepare for action, the Dragon Clan suddenly laughed softly and said, "Do you need any help?"
"Huh?" Lorraine's eyes lit up, but then he frowned and said, "Are you so sure that I can win?"
"Vera said, you have a magical weapon~!" The young man from the dragon tribe said with a smile, holding his hands.
Lorraine spread her hands and said hesitantly: "It's not good, this is inconsistent with your contract."
The Dragon Clan is only responsible for reconnaissance and does not participate in combat. This is what Lorraine promised the Dragon Clan elders.
"Of course," the Dragon Clan shrugged and said, "You need to pay some extra...overtime pay. You know, we have been unhappy with those lichs for a long time."
As he spoke, the young man from the dragon tribe twisted his neck and made a clicking sound.
Lord Lorraine laughed and said: "The price is easy to talk about. The overtime fee is one thousand per person. If you kill a lich, I will add one more..."
"One thousand~!" Vera hurried forward and hugged Lorraine's arm, winked at Lord Lorraine, then glared at Lord Lorraine with a complaining expression and said: "Really, giving one hundred is too much."
Less."
Then he looked at his cousin and said with a smile: "I have decided for him. If you kill a lich, you will be given one thousand."
Lorraine worked very hard not to laugh out loud. This girl Vera is really getting more and more powerful now. The old saying is true. The water thrown by a married girl is mostly directed towards herself, and she deceives her own compatriots.
No mercy at all.
"Okay~!" The eyes of the young man from the Dragon Clan immediately lit up. He made a few casual moves and earned a month's salary in one night. It was so worth it.
But he didn't know that Lord Lorraine had just prepared to offer 10,000 yuan, and this price would drive Fantino crazy. It was simply too cheap - Lord Lorraine himself had no intention of paying this money.
If the lich knew that one of their lives was only worth a thousand, they would definitely be angry if the phylactery smoked out, and it would be hard not to regard the lich as a mage.
In fact, in the eyes of the arrogant dragon clan, the life of the lich is probably only worth this price.
"Then it's settled." The young man patted Lord Lorraine on the shoulder hard, as if he was afraid that Lord Lorraine would regret it, and then asked curiously: "But I want to know, what is the artifact in your hand?"
"
Lorraine laughed loudly after hearing this, waved to Patlaud, and loudly ordered: "Concentrate the priests to the west and south, and attack the east with all the artillery. We don't want to destroy them, just stop the enemy."
"Yes~!" Patlaud responded immediately, and then asked doubtfully: "Where is the north?"
Lorraine sneered and said: "Give Ya Ting a magical weapon~!"
