Chapter 2858 Lord of the Undead
Latest website: "Do you see anything?"
Seeing that Hardwood seemed to have something in his words, the big red dragon asked calmly.
"Those undead... they are more than just terrifying knights."
Hardwood pondered for a moment before giving his answer.
"In addition to all the abilities that the Terror Knights should have, they also possess the power of vampires and corpse witches. The bats they transform into are one of the powers of vampires. They can only reach the level of the Vampire King. , can you ignore all the speed on your body and transform into a bat while charging at high speed. If an ordinary vampire did this, he would probably tear his body apart."
Listening to Hardwood's explanation, Moriel nodded lightly.
The magicians in the underground world are best at creating alien creatures. Vampires, as one of the most tenacious creatures in the main plane, are naturally the focus of research by the magicians.
For certain properties of vampires, magicians even have a better grasp than necromancers. In order to create truly perfect creatures in the research of alien creatures, the magicians have made sufficient efforts.
The old Hadwood added: "I have long heard that Rhodes has outstanding abilities in transforming the undead. Now that I see it, it is indeed what the rumors say. He can give all the powers that belong to vampires and corpse witches. Various types of undead, and allowing the undead to retain their original abilities, created undead creatures with multiple powers at the same time. No one could have imagined that those terrifying knights could transform into bats like vampires, or like corpse witches Breathing clouds of death, these undead souls will explode with extremely terrifying power on the battlefield."
Each undead creature has its own weaknesses.
The Terror Knight relies heavily on the charge of the horse. All the methods used to fight against the Erathian Knight, whether traps or special weapons, are equally effective against the Terror Knight. After losing the undead horse, the power of the Terror Knight will drop a lot, and even Not as good as vampires at the same level.
The bodies of corpse witches have been corrupted by the cloud of death all year round. Flesh and blood no longer exist on their bodies, revealing a skeleton appearance. They are osteoporotic and their weaknesses are very similar to skeleton soldiers. They are unable to resist the attack of heavy blunt weapons. Hit. Under the violent impact, the corpse witch was shattered into bones on the ground.
Not to mention vampires. As the most well-known undead creatures besides skeletons, although vampires have strong vitality, there are too many ways to restrain them. Whether it is carefully prepared holy water or silver weapons, they can be effective. Kill vampires. Those new-born vampires can even find it difficult to walk in the sun.
As long as you find a way to restrain the undead creatures, it is not difficult to deal with them. In the past era, the Erathians did this. Even if the undead creatures have a terrifying appearance, surrounded by many forces, it is not difficult to deal with them. It can only tighten on the cursed Diya, and it is difficult to expand its power by half.
However, those undead creatures full of weaknesses show amazing changes when their abilities are superimposed. The weaknesses that originally existed in them and were difficult to make up for were completely made up for by the superposition of ranks and abilities. Instead, there are undead creatures that are stronger and more perfect.
What appeared before the eyes of the magicians was an undead creature possessing three powerful powers. When the Terror Knight combines the power of the Vampire King and the Corpse Witch King, he becomes an undead creature with no weaknesses. The methods used to deal with the terrifying knights in the past have no effect when faced with them that can transform into bats. Even the undead horses have the power of the combination of vampires and corpse witches.
While the magicians saw this shocking scene in their eyes, they secretly evaluated the strength of the undead army in their hearts. The current terrifying knights are only members of the terrifying knights belonging to the undead on land in the undead army, and they are not even the main force of the army.
The birth of this complex mixed undead is also due to a unique existence. No magician will be unfamiliar with that existence. That person is the famous Lord of the Undead.
"These mixed undead are all the work of the Lord of the Undead. I heard that he has an artifact exclusive to the Necromancer."
I don't know which magician said something, and soon, eyes fell on one of the people in the team. Some of those eyes were malicious, and some were full of suspicion.
The reason why the Lord of the Undead can grant undead creatures powers that originally did not belong to them, and even create powerful undead that are a mixture of various powers, is all thanks to the artifact Ghost King Cloak on his body. That artifact did not originally belong to the Lord of the Undead, but to another person in the team.
Under the gaze of many eyes, the man just shrugged lightly. Half of his body had lost all flesh and blood. He was holding a dark magic sword in front of him and said nothing.
At this time, a strange movement in the distance attracted the attention of all the magicians. Right in front of the terrifying knights rushing like a dark torrent, there was a man who did not disperse like the other knights. Instead, he rode a dark undead horse and ran from far to near with loud steps. Come.
He was wearing black and red armor made of hell lava, and a skull and crossbones flag symbolizing the undead was planted on his horse. As the distance got closer, he also slowed down with his head held high. Under the gaze of all the kings, He walked slowly to the podium.
He jumped off the horse and took off the helmet that matched the armor, revealing a weather-beaten face developed from years of fighting. The beard on his chin made him look even more resolute. As he ascended the stage, the kings recognized him.
"It's him...the supreme commander of the undead army, Farese Kendall."
"Kendall... I remember that is the surname of the famous general family of Erathia. The current general of the Kingdom of Erathia seems to be named Kendall. Members of the Kendall family are famous for their excellent tactics. I didn't expect that there are also some in the Kingdom of the Dead. A Kendall.”
"His strength doesn't look very good. At least it's far behind us. He can't even be considered a legendary creature. I don't know what the Lord of the Undead saw in him to let him lead the undead army."
As Farese took the stage, the kings also began to whisper and discuss the deeds about Farese. The charge of the terrifying knights originally left a deep shadow in the hearts of the kings. They used He looked at Farese with scrutinizing eyes, wanting to see what was so special about him as a legion general that he gained Rhode's trust.
However, the result disappointed the kings. Farese's own strength was not outstanding, and it was not even comparable to any strong man of the legendary rank. Placed in the undead army, it can be said to be an inconspicuous existence. However, even so, he shoulders the function of commanding the entire army. How could this not confuse the kings?
The Doomsday Kings, who are accustomed to using rank and strength as the criteria for judging, do not understand why the Lord of the Undead would make such a choice. But since the Lord of the Undead did this, there must be a reason for him.
As if aware of the doubts in the hearts of the kings, Farese finally spoke on the podium:
"Dear guests, look around you. There are people from the other side of the continent, traveling thousands of miles away, just to participate in this grand event. There are also people who crawled out from the deep underground, bringing exotic treasures to gather with you. And I was once an Erathian with pure blood. Today, kings from all over the continent are here to participate in this grand event. Uniting us, the person who allows us to share this moment is none other than the great Lord of the Dead. "
Farese's tone was very calm. Unlike Speaker Erica who used magic to spread the sound to everyone's ears, Farese did not use the power of magic to cause the terrifying knights from behind to charge. The strong vibration almost completely covered his voice.
The emergence of this situation also made the kings who were a little further away frown. Under the noisy sound of the knights charging, it was not easy to hear Farese's words clearly. I am afraid that the only way to do this is to rely on Only those who were close could hear clearly what he said.
Sensing the mistake in the speech, Rowling, who was standing next to Speaker Erica in the audience not far away, had a worried look on her face. She secretly exclaimed that it was bad. She could hardly help but raise her hand to cast a spell to help Farese. Complete the diffusion of sound.
Just as Rowling raised her hand, ready to cast magic, Erica stopped her movement and shook her head slightly.
Rowling asked in confusion: "Speaker Erica, what do you mean by this? There was an error in the speech. We should help General Farese quickly to avoid bigger mistakes."
"This is the way he chose." Erica answered Rowling's doubts softly, while not forgetting to teach, "Keep calm, Farese knows what he is doing, but you, don't take it for granted at this time. Chaos."
At the end, Erica took a deep look at Farese on the podium. She already knew about the speech script. Since Farese dared to go on stage without writing it, he obviously had sufficient confidence in his leadership skills to boost morale. , I just hope he doesn't make any mistakes at this time.
Just as Rowling couldn't stop worrying, Farese's speech continued in the stands, and his voice seemed to be a little heavier:
"My leader, the great Lord of the Undead, Rhodes, is a wise sage and a brave warrior. He once launched the massive Shadow of Death campaign. Under his leadership, the Lich and the Death Knight They unite to eliminate the injustice suffered by the undead creatures for thousands of years, and as a pioneer who led the undead creatures to resist, he will also be remembered by countless undead creatures."
This time, more kings heard his voice, and Farese's words became louder and louder.
"Some people say that undead creatures were born with ominous circumstances. Since spiritualism was developed by the mages of Brakada, undead creatures have been burdened with a shameful reputation and were once eliminated and expelled. The first generation of necromancers, the king of the earth Mother Asri found the future home for the Necromancer amidst the rebuke of the world, Diya, a cursed place full of disease and famine."
As Farese spoke, sitting on the seat not far away, Asri, one of the kings, also showed a somewhat nostalgic look at this moment. The news of the Lord of the Dead's wedding had already spread throughout Diya, and she came here on behalf of the entire Diya. Recalling the undead mage's miserable past, even she couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"For thousands of years, undead creatures have lived in such a barren land. Even so, the world has never let us go. They hold high the banner of justice, use our home as a hunting ground, and invade our living space step by step. No one will listen to the whispers of the undead, and they will never give up until all the undead are wiped out!"
With each word, Farese's words became a little louder, and in the end, they turned into a hoarse roar. The sound was as loud as a bell, and it actually drowned out the sound of the terrifying knight charging. In everyone's ears, They all echoed with his voice.
"The world slanders and casts aside undead creatures. They use the dead bones of living people to build upward stairs, but think that the dead should lie in the graves! They launch wars for their own selfish desires, but stubbornly equate us with evil! They It is said that the undead should rot and fester in the darkness, and should never see the light of day again! But His Majesty Rhodes tore away the curtain of hypocrisy. He led us to fight. He told us that even undead creatures can be proud. Hold your chest high and walk in this land of the dead!"
There was no need for any magic amplification or any other assistance. At this moment, all that was echoing in the ears of everyone in the field was the deafening roar.
Following Farese's impassioned speech, the undead army in the rear also erupted into the sky with the breath of death. Even the usually calm kings became restless. At this moment, a disturbing thought emerged in their minds. Awe-inspiring figure.
Rhodes, the Lord of the Undead, although he has not yet appeared, anyone can feel a shock from the bottom of their hearts from Farese's narration. He is the true master of the Kingdom of the Undead. Just listening to Farese With the description, you can deeply feel the magnificent spirit and the indelible heroic pride, which makes people's hearts tremble.
Even Moriel had a different look in her eyes at this moment.
Farese's words actually inadvertently mobilized the morale of the entire undead army. The undead creatures in the army seemed to be no longer isolated individuals, but became a whole, which was greatly detrimental to her plan.
The reason why the undead creatures can gather momentum is not only due to Farese alone, but also thanks to the common beliefs and symbols in their hearts, the Lord of the Undead who has never been seen but whose name is only heard.
