Chapter 1457 Moving towards the depths of the black mist
When the two strong teams stood still, Lei Xiao looked around and saw that the people coming were the people from the Rainforest Fortress Alliance headed by Loris and the people from the Desert Alliance headed by Xina.
I saw that in Loris' team, Thomas, old Susan and other people who had participated in the cinephile market had not changed much, but Xina was completely different. She was replaced by the cat-people leader Lannis, a fox.
A strong human woman, and a strong humanoid whose appearance is quite similar to that of a cactus.
Not to mention the cat people and fox people, but the rather weird humanoid strongman Lei Xiao has also heard about it. He is from the desert needle people clan of the Desert Alliance.
From this, it is not difficult to see that after Xina was attacked, many important and powerful people around her, including the masked man, suffered heavy losses, or even died directly.
"Chief Huangsha, please be careful this time."
Loris obviously heard about Xina's experience. The lion's face was full of hypocrisy, and the cat cried like a mouse and said: "If it is attacked again, I'm afraid the Desert Alliance will be leaderless."
"Don't worry, no matter how stupid I am, I won't let someone steal my entire alliance and give it to others."
Xina, who also learned about the opponent's situation, was not to be outdone, raised her chin and spoke tit-for-tat.
"you……"
Hearing the sound, Loris couldn't help but be speechless for a moment. Even the old Susan who usually said so much was too ashamed to refute, so she just kept silent.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly.
Just like before, these two alliances have deep grievances. Even if they stand together for the time being, it may take some time to eliminate the barriers between them.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao coughed lightly and said with a smile: "You two, now is not the time to talk about this. Let's focus on the present."
"What your human majesty said is absolutely true. The lich's crimes are extremely heinous. We can't wait any longer."
Loris looked like he was gearing up, and said with fighting spirit on his lion face: "This time, we and the Rainforest Fortress Alliance will be the vanguard, and we will definitely wipe out all those lichs!"
"Of course we will be the vanguard. How can we, the Desert Alliance, be willing to take the back seat?"
Xina still refused to give in and said meaningfully: "We are going deep into the enemy camp. If the vanguard is replaced again, then our situation will be extremely bad."
"You're not done yet, are you?"
Hearing Xina mocking him openly and implicitly again, Loris showed his fangs, but finally took it back.
No matter how hot-tempered he is, Loris is the leader of the alliance after all. Facing all the unknowns ahead, he knows that now is not the time for internal strife.
"It's up to the human majesty to decide."
Having the upper hand, he glanced at Loris, then stopped, and looked at Lei Xiao again.
"Of course we will listen to His Majesty the Human Race."
Loris nodded immediately and expressed his position.
Not only the two alliance leaders, but also Thomas, Old Susan, Lannis and other two alliance elders did not have any objections and nodded along.
After Lei Xiao calmed down the crisis that could plunge the two alliances into despair, and even saved the lives of most people present, he had already gained their heartfelt respect.
Noticing the trusting looks from everyone, Lei Xiao was a little undecided for a moment.
You must know that the role of the vanguard is not only to explore paths, but also to detect magic traps and other matters. Its importance is self-evident.
Compared with the two, his own strength is relatively limited. When the vanguard is clearly unable to do what he wants, letting either of the two act as the vanguard will cause the other party to be unhappy, which is likely to have a negative impact on the subsequent battle.
, then there is only one way left.
"Everyone, as the saying goes, when everyone adds fuel, the flames rise, so we might as well select the elite and strong ones and form the strongest vanguard team together."
Lei Xiao expressed his thoughts and immediately received support from everyone.
Then, everyone quickly selected a squadron of six-level experts with a hundred people as the vanguard, gathering our most powerful elites. Although the number is limited, the level of eliteness is self-evident.
As for other questions about troop formation, under the leadership of Lei Xiao, everyone quickly gave perfect answers. Almost everyone present was a commander who had experienced many battles on the battlefield, so it was easy to do this.
In addition, other legions of the two alliances have been deployed in the border areas with other second-rate forces to prevent the backers behind the Lich from taking advantage of the situation.
Several cinephile markets were also secretly inspected everywhere under the command of Lei Xiao, and they were ready to quickly transfer their armies to the two alliances at any time.
"Then, there's only one last thing left."
After everything was deployed, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said, "That's the candidate for commander."
"That must be His Majesty the Human Race."
Loris smiled wildly and rushed to respond: "Without His Majesty the Human Race's efforts to turn the tide, our Rainforest Fortress Alliance has already become a hotbed of taboos, so why would we be here?"
"Yes, the slave family also thinks that His Majesty the Human Race is the best candidate."
Xina nodded heavily and agreed, she would not have any objections as she was rescued from the depths of the earth by Lei Xiao himself.
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey."
Lei Xiao didn't refuse, looking like he was gearing up.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that both Loris and Xina would not give in to each other, and they would not give in easily to others, so it was obviously the most suitable choice for him to take this position.
After that, Lei Xiao symbolically appointed Loris and Xina as deputy commanders, and the strong army of nearly 10,000 people immediately set off and headed towards the howling land shrouded in the black room.
…
"Did you really come?"
In a huge skeleton palace deep in the Howling Land, the leader of the Lich stared at the crystal ball in front of him. A hint of joking appeared on his haggard face covered with strange runes, with an expected look on his face.
Then, he looked at the unknown black figure at the top, and with a rare expression of respect, he asked: "Sir, the other party is coming with a menacing force. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it."
It is not difficult to see from the respectful attitude of the Lich leader that he is obviously the backer behind the Lich.
Moreover, this is also a backing in the literal sense. The unknown black figure's body is extremely huge, almost filling the entire back half of the Skeleton Palace, as if it is no different from a mountain peak.
"You still have 80 third-level legions and 20 fourth-level legions, a million undead army here. Those ants are only ten thousand people in size. Even if they are all at level five or above, the consumption is enough to kill the opponent."
The deep voice of the giant unknown black shadow did not have any fluctuations, and said calmly: "Don't forget that this is your home field. These miasmas can not only weaken the strength of those ants, but also increase the strength of you and the undead army. One will weaken the other.
Under this, the other party won’t have anything to fear.”
"Sir, although I say this, don't forget that the human emperor is also among them. Compared with the two alliances, although its power is the weakest, it is undoubtedly the most difficult one to deal with."
The Lich leader's face darkened, and he added: "As long as the other party is here, things may change."
"They are just ants after all. It's no big deal. Both the human world and the two alliances will soon turn into a purgatory."
There was a trace of disdain in the voice of the giant black shadow, and he responded: "Don't forget that our plan is perfect. Even if the ant really tries to jump around a few times, I will deal with him personally."
"Haha, I feel completely reassured when I hear what the adults say. Compared with the adults, those guys are not worth mentioning."
The leader of the lich smiled solemnly and grinned: "Since those ants came to die, let them get their wish."
…
Accompanied by a burst of lightning speed, Lei Xiao, Loris, Xina and others were the first to bear the brunt, and soon rushed into the dark mist.
It is worth mentioning that before entering the Howling Land, Lei Xiao casually took out tens of thousands of fifth-level mobile potions and other high-level items, which blessed every strong man in the army.
The gain buff made Loris, Xina and others look at each other again. Even with their background, they would never be able to achieve this level.
After the cinephile market, the two of them also experienced Lei Xiao's unfathomable power again.
Under the respectful gazes of everyone, the moment he entered, Lei Xiao felt that the energy flow of the two energy vortices in his belly seemed to be slightly stagnant. Although this stagnation was not obvious, it undoubtedly meant that the black mist was larger than imagined.
It's even weirder.
Looking around, under the influence of the thick black fog, the sunlight cannot penetrate at all, making the surroundings pitch black, as if it went from day to night in an instant.
Not only that, the field of vision has also been greatly affected. I can only see clearly things within a hundred meters. Even though it is completely blocked by energy barriers, a pungent rotten smell still rushes towards me, which is almost shocking.
asphyxia.
"Sure enough, it's not a place for ordinary people to stay."
Lei Xiao frowned slightly, and tried to activate several purification-type sixth-level sacred and light magic scrolls, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing any ripples in the black mist.
"Your Majesty, human race, it's useless."
Xina shook her head helplessly and said: "Back then, our Desolate Sand Alliance gathered all the strong men who were good at purification in an attempt to dispel this weird black mist of miasma, but it failed to have any effect. This mist was just like this
It’s as if the pieces have merged into one body, and I can’t control it at all.”
"That's right, we can only bite the bullet and move forward."
Loris had obviously tried similar methods before, and then he said with fighting spirit on his face: "However, back then, our Rainforest Fortress Alliance couldn't do anything to the opponent, so we had no choice but to retreat. Now, we are marching together, and there is His Majesty the Human Race."
Command, we must eradicate the opponent completely!"
As soon as Loris said this, the strong men from the two surrounding alliances were also gearing up.
This howling land is sandwiched between the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Deserted Sand Alliance. Usually, they often do evil things when the two have no time to take care of it. They even directly destroyed an entire village or even a city, and owed a lot of blood debt.
, now that they have the opportunity to eliminate the opponent, everyone's morale is naturally high.
"Let's move on."
Feeling the high morale, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and took another step.
Just after walking for a while, the originally desolate scene around us changed, and a large number of broken walls and ruins appeared.
Under the thick black mist, the ruins along the road were all gray in color, mottled and vicissitudes of life. There were even a large number of tombstones lined up in the distance, which looked awe-inspiring.
Lei Xiao looked at it intently and found that although these ruins were ancient, they did not seem to be from the same era compared with the ruins left over from the blank era.
"Your Majesty the Human Race, more than two thousand years ago, there used to be an alliance of third-rate forces in this howling land. It was full of greenery everywhere. But one day, for some unknown reason, it suddenly became the world of lichs, until it changed.
It has become like today with no grass growing."
Xina flew not far from Lei Xiao and introduced: "These are the ruins left at that time, and the people there became the main force of the undead army."
"It turns out there is such a past."
Lei Xiao frowned slightly and looked at the dense tombstones in the distance again.
It seems that after the lich became rampant here, the remaining forces did not surrender, but fought to the last moment.
The result is obvious. In this land where the weak eat the strong, the weak are destined to be unable to escape the fate of destruction.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, a huge blurry shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. Looking at it carefully, it turned out to be a huge fortress that was entirely white, exuding a strong aura of death.
"Your Majesty the Human Race, that is the Lich's Bone Fortress."
Loris' solemn voice sounded and he introduced: "The Howling Land is dotted with cities made of countless piles of bones. They are all garrisoned by a huge army of undead, which is extremely difficult to deal with."
After Loris said this, the expression on the lion's face became more solemn.
Back then, although he led his troops to eliminate several bone fortresses in succession, he eventually had to retreat due to exhaustion of energy because there were still many bone fortresses ahead.
But now, those destroyed fortresses are standing here again, how can this not make him feel awe-inspiring?
"Our troops are limited, and wiping them out one by one would be a waste of time and extremely unrealistic."
Lei Xiao didn't hesitate at all, nodded to the people around him and said: "Capture the thief first, capture the king first, everyone will bypass the fortresses along the way and head straight towards the opponent's hinterland."
After hearing Lei Xiao's order, all the powerful men nodded in agreement and quickly bypassed the entire giant forest white fortress.
Next, everyone continued chasing wind and lightning, discovering more ruins and tombstones along the way, bypassing more skeleton fortresses, and the black mist filling the air became increasingly dense.
However, no one noticed that not long after we bypassed the first Bone Fortress, a huge confinement barrier was quietly formed, covering the entire Howling Land.
When we walked far away, the undead armies of the bypassed Skeleton Fortress came out one after another, quietly following our steps forward, and slowly encircled us.
