Chapter 217: Walking Into a Trap! The Heritage of Luoshui City!
There was a figure wrapped in a black robe in Gan Ning's team. The hand holding the staff was not skeletal, but purple like an old corpse.
This was the acolyte sent by the lord.
Unlike Gan Ning, Huang Zu and other locals who were transformed by the ritual.
The acolyte was the most resource-intensive guard among the direct family members. Although there were not many of them, they were quite strong and had different abilities.
This surprise attack could not be completed by Huang Zu and Gan Ning alone.
Huang Zu could not secretly deploy a large number of troops to Shansang City under the cover of secret methods under the eyes of the enemy lord, and it was difficult for Gan Ning and others to enter Luoshui and reach the main city without being noticed.
The role of the acolyte was to provide assistance and establish communications.
In this way, the latest changes in the battlefield and the situation could be kept up to date.
So as to better coordinate and seize the opportunity and increase the success rate of this surprise attack.
"The battle of Shansang City has already begun. A large number of human reinforcements have left the main city to reinforce, but the lord has not personally participated in the battle so far."
When he learned the latest information from the acolyte secret guard.
Su Fei said: "Huang Zu led almost all the dead bone troops to attack Shansang. Under such circumstances, the human lord did not personally participate in the battle? This seems to be inconsistent with our plan and prediction!"
The total strength of the dead bone army is nearly 8,000.
It is a force that the territory has spent seven years to build.
Now more than 1,000 are deployed in Huangmei Township, and more than 5,000 are all deployed in Shansang City.
This is already a very powerful military force. It stands to reason that even if it cannot flatten the territory of this human lord, it is enough to pose a huge threat to the territory, thus forcing the human lord to appear in person on the front line to resist.
Once the human lord is gone.
The main city will inevitably reveal a huge flaw.
Under such circumstances, the surprise attack team led by Gan Ning can attack the core by surprise, thus establishing victory in one fell swoop and leaving the opponent no chance of a comeback.
A little unexpected.
The lord did not personally go down.
Shansang City actually put Huang Zu in a tough battle.
Judging from the real-time intelligence sent back by the acolyte secret guard, the battle situation in Shansang City is very fierce now. The dead bone army of the territory and the enemy's reinforcement army are being rapidly consumed after hand-to-hand combat.
This is enough to show!
The strength of the human territory is stronger than expected!
In addition to the lord, there are also top combat forces, enough to stand alone!
Gan Ning was a little disdainful: "It's just a group of human stars. Even if it is strong, how strong can it be? Since this lord has not moved his troops in the territory so far, let's go in and kill him directly!"
The arrow is on the string and has to be shot.
How can we return empty-handed after coming here?
Killing the lord is more straightforward and thorough than capturing the core.
Su Fei nodded: "Although the lord did not come to Woniu Mountain in person, the main city of this territory is in an empty state at the moment. It is the best opportunity for us to sneak in and behead the lord!"
Gan Ning pulled out the rune short spear and threw it into the forest and stuck it on a stone.
Leaving a backup.
The acolyte secret guard immediately began to cast a spell to cover the breath of everyone. At the same time, by sensing the core fluctuations of the territory, he locked the approximate location of this invasion and pointed out the direction for Gan Ning.
Su Fei and others are ready at this moment.
"Xingba, it's up to you now!"
Gan Ning's two swords collided.
An invisible energy field was released and enveloped the ten people present.
Let their bodies disappear immediately and transform into a group of shadow energy that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
This is one of Gan Ning's abilities!
He can lead a small-scale army to enter the "shadow march" state at any time through his own talents and skills.
In this state, they cannot launch attacks, but they can ignore most obstacles and quietly enter the enemy's important camps or strongholds to fight without triggering the defensive barrier.
Most ordinary reconnaissance methods cannot detect it.
Gan Ning is elusive with this ability.
He is especially good at surprise attacks by the team.
It is impossible to defend against it.
He can appear at any time in a place that the opponent does not expect. If they are not fully prepared in advance, they will be caught off guard and even suffer heavy losses.
Gan Ning's team directly passed through the wall and entered Luoshui City.
There was no triggering of defenses with reconnaissance or perception capabilities such as arrow towers, reconnaissance towers, or barrier towers.
Gan Ning successfully passed through the city and arrived in front of the lord's castle. According to the perception of the acolyte secret guard, the core of this territory is in it, and its lord is likely to be nearby.
There are many people coming and going near the city lord's castle.
There are not only guards of the territory, but also many citizens who come in and out to hand in tasks or come to do business.
Gan Ning had no interest in these ordinary people or soldiers of the territory. He only wanted to find and assassinate the owner of this land. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sense of crisis suddenly appeared in his heart.
I saw dozens of golden needles coming towards me.
Discovered? !
Gan Ning had to cancel the shadow march and emerged from the dormant state of the shadow. He swung his two swords at the same time to release the sword energy, and bounced the attacking golden needles like waves.
Who is it?
Could it be the lord?
Although Gan Ning's stealth ability is super strong.
But lords are usually extremely powerful.
It is not surprising that such strong people are alerted once they are approached because of their strong perception ability.
Su Fei and the other nine people also appeared one after another and locked the attacker at the first time, but after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, they were slightly stunned and quite surprised.
It was a kind old man with white hair and a young face.
He was accompanied by eight well-equipped guards.
Although the breath was not weak, it was obviously not the owner of this territory!
Gan Ning, Su Fei and others were surprised to find that not only the old man in front of them had a strong aura, but also the eight guards had a strong aura.
Strange.
Just a human lord!
How could he have created so many powerful subordinates?
"What's going on?"
"Who's doing it here!"
"It's Dr. Zhang and the third and fourth brothers!"
"Who are those skeletons?"
"Not good!"
"It's the invaders!"
"..."
The scene of the fight between the two sides was near the teleportation square at the outermost edge of the lord's castle.
At this moment, many players have just come online. They are preparing to go to Woniu Mountain for support through the teleportation hall, including well-known players such as Niu Shisan, Hua Mulan, and Uncle Dashu.
"Damn it! These damn things! They actually sneaked into the territory!"
After the players of the Scourge Army figured out the situation, they were shocked and angry!
This has never happened before.
The enemy is too insidious, too cunning, and too bold!
The territory and the lord are the lifeblood of the Scourge Army!
How could they not feel furious when their lifeblood was threatened?
However, after they saw the identity of the invaders, especially the leader, they were shocked and even unbelievable.
[Skeleton General: Gan Ning], a 28-level Overlord unit...
"Gan Ning?"
"His name is Gan Ning?"
"Fuck! No way! How could it be Gan Ning?"
"Gan Ning, the famous general of Dongwu? How could he become a skeleton monster!"
"Oh no!"
"I like Gan Ning very much!"
"Isn't this the point? This guy is an Overlord! A Overlord monster broke into our lair. Don't you realize the seriousness of the matter?"
"Let's go together!"
"We must not let him enter the Lord's Castle!"
"..."
The players were about to attack.
But they were stopped by the Blue Dragon Guards.
These few Scourge Army soldiers were not enough to shake the group in front of them.
Gan Ning asked: "How did you find me?"
"Hehe, I am Zhang Ji, the alchemist and doctor of the territory. As a doctor, I naturally have some insight and means of seeing the qi."
Zhang Zhongjing not only has the ability to see the qi and see the secrets, is good at capturing the breath, and has a very keen perception ability.
Because he has made great contributions to the territory recently, Hang Yu is generous with his rewards and upgrades him to level 30.
This is the current level limit of the territory.
He is the only level 30 existence besides the lord!
Zhang Zhongjing's will and spiritual attributes are also extremely high. Now that he is arranged in the lord's castle, he can play a warning effect, so he took the initiative to intercept the threat without waiting for the lord to take action.
"You came here uninvited, which is a bit rude."
Su Fei said: "Humph, a mere alchemist dares to stop us? I see that you are not a direct descendant of the lord. If you don't want to die, get out of here."
"You all don't seem to understand your situation. From the moment you broke in, it is almost impossible to escape!"
Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and said: "It is better to give up resistance to avoid humiliation."
"Shame on you!"
Gan Ning disappeared on the spot.
He flashed to the back of the team.
The two swords suddenly burst out with powerful shadow power.
Zhang Zhongjing thought to himself: This person's strength is extraordinary, and he may be slightly better than Zhang Xiu!
Of course, this refers to Zhang Xiu in his normal state. If it is Zhang Xiu in the state of filthy young son, it is probably another matter. Compared with him, the threat shown by Gan Ning is obviously still a little bit behind.
Zhang San, Li Si and other four Canglong Guard warriors took action.
"Fierce Tiger Blade!"
"Quick Shadow Instant Attack!"
They directly used the Fierce Tiger Blade and launched the blue skill Shadow Assault. Almost in an instant, they turned into more than 20 afterimages, rushing to Gan Ning in the middle from different directions to launch a siege.
You strike with a knife.
I strike with a knife.
Each strike made a tiger roar.
Gan Ning wanted to kill Zhang Zhongjing, but he had never encountered such a fierce attack. He could only change from attack to defense and fight against the Canglong Guard with two knives. Almost in an instant, he completed more than 20 knife battles.
Fast!
Too fast!
Gan Ning's unique shadow knife is very sharp. Not only is it very fast, but it also devours the opponent's strength, thereby weakening the power of the Fierce Tiger Blade.
When Zhang San, Li Si and other four people were bounced away, Gan Ning also staggered back two steps, and the shadow energy blessed by the two knives was extinguished. Even with his strength, he could only barely resist this round of fierce attack.
Without waiting to stand firm.
Wang Wu, Zhao Liu and other Canglong Guard warlock monks took action.
Several explosive lightning bolts and wind blades directly hit Gan Ning.
Gan Ning added shadow energy to his body. Although he absorbed some of the attacks, he was also knocked back several steps and suffered some damage.
"So strong!"
The natural disaster army at the scene was stunned.
The fight between the two sides happened in an instant.
The eight blue dragon guards are all level 25, most of their equipment has been replaced with blue equipment, and each has practiced a bunch of full-level skills. The comprehensive combat power is not inferior to second- and third-rate commanders, and they have more geographical advantages because they are fighting at home.
Even under such circumstances.
Eight against one could not completely suppress Gan Ning.
This Gan Ning is indeed a hegemon-level unit!
Such a terrifying existence sneaking into the territory is too threatening!
Because of this, players are fortunate to witness a wonderful battle between the eight dragon guards and the skeleton Gan Ning.
It's too sensational!
It will probably be on the forum headlines!
Zhang Zhongjing launched alchemy successively: Four Spirits Tempering Pill, Yili Tongshen Pill!
The eight blue dragon guards activated the lord halo at the same time, and their attributes soared under multiple gains and enhancements. Then they activated skills such as Iron Armor and Burning Fighting Spirit, and fought with the skeleton Gan Ning again.
For a moment.
He was not at a disadvantage.
The battle was very intense!
Gan Ning thought that it was just a small episode. He just wanted to kill these people in front of him quickly and then deal with the lord of this territory. At this moment, he found that something was wrong. Their strength was far beyond imagination, and the more they fought, the more frightened they were.
He couldn't take down the eight dragon guards for a while.
At the same time, one after another strong auras came from the surroundings.
They were 21-level third-level blue dragon guards. Although the strength of these blue dragon guards was not as strong as the eight initial dragon guards, they had reached a level close to the commander level. If they joined hands, they would definitely be a considerable force.
"Damn it!"
"A small human leader!"
"It can actually cultivate so many strong people!"
Su Fei and others didn't expect to encounter such a big trouble.
The battle in Shansang City was so intense that the reinforcements were caught in a brutal war of attrition to resist the Corps of the Dead. Since there were still so many cutting-edge forces in the territory, why didn't the lord send them to support Shansang?
Wouldn't this greatly reduce casualties?
Did the human lord figure out the purpose here?
Otherwise, why didn't he play by the rules?
But this is unlikely!
"Get rid of this old thing first!"
Su Fei led the others to attack Zhang Zhongjing.
Although this person has a strong aura, he is only a non-combatant alchemist after all. If he cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, his powerful auxiliary and healing abilities will definitely bring great trouble to the next battle.
"Dr. Zhang, be careful!"
The players of the Scourge Army were all shocked.
Dr. Zhang is an important NPC in the territory.
He can't have any problems!
Although the players wanted to go up to help, it was obviously too late.
Facing the attacks of Su Fei and several powerful dead skeletons, Zhang Zhongjing did not choose to retreat or defend. Suddenly, a magic staff appeared in his hand, and then an unexpected scene appeared.
A huge lightning bolt hit Su Fei.
Then it jumped and struck other targets.
-
1532 (critical hit)!
-
1032!
-
1053!
-
1021!
…
The players were all dumbfounded.
"Zhang... Doctor Zhang knows magic?"
"Fuck! Such high damage! I'm not awake yet!"
"This seems to be a lightning chain!"
The lightning chain released by Zhang Zhongjing not only hit Su Fei and others instantly, but also affected their actions.
Su Fei roared, suddenly bursting with power, and stabbed Zhang Zhongjing with his spear, but was bounced off by the Guardian of Wind.
Another explosive flame blade was summoned.
It chopped Su Fei's body.
-
2021 (Critical Hit!)
Boom!
The aftermath of the explosion.
The other skeletons suffered hundreds to thousands of injuries.
Su Fei was also blown away by this blow, and fell ten meters away in a mess. His armor and bones were damaged in many places, and the whole skeleton looked very embarrassed.
"If you think that I am a doctor and I am weak and can be bullied, then you are wrong!"
Zhang Zhongjing raised his staff and said, "I am a doctor in Luoshui City! There are no weak people under the command of the lord!"
This scene made the players present dumbfounded.
"Is this still the Zhang Zhongjing you know?"
"The style has changed directly from Zhang the Godly Doctor to Gandalf the White Robe!"
"Combat doctor? Awesome!"
"From today on, Zhang the Godly Doctor is the idol of our monk players and warlock players!"
"..."
It wasn't long before Zhang Zhongjing joined the territory.
But Hang Yu provided Zhang Zhongjing with a lot of resources.
And because the territory has good things like skill towers, learning a skill does not take time at all. As long as there is enough energy and contribution points, you can understand it instantly.
It is true that Zhang Zhongjing is an alchemist and a miracle doctor.
But his spiritual attributes and will attributes are quite high!
The reason why Zhang Zhongjing did not learn spells in the past was that on the one hand, he was not interested and did not want to waste time on things other than medicine, and on the other hand, his talent in learning spells was mediocre and there was no cost-effectiveness in studying.
It is different now!
Zhang Zhongjing found that learning spells would not waste time at all.
When he consumed the contribution points and energy rewarded by the lord, he learned most of all the spell skills in the skill tower in one day. It is estimated that it will not take long to master them all. In the future, he can even learn strength and agility skills.
Zhang Zhongjing has now practiced ten spells to the maximum level.
Even if learning skills is just to increase knowledge and improve basic attributes, it is extremely valuable.
Although his attribute growth is not as good as that of famous generals such as Zhou Cang and Wen Pin, he has at least reached the level of commander. With the addition of his own alchemy skills, his combat power should not be underestimated in the short term.
"I can't even get through, and you guys are trying to assassinate the lord? It's too arrogant!"
Zhang Zhongjing, holding a magic staff, with white beard, white eyebrows and white robe, is standing at the entrance of the lord's castle. His aura is completely different from usual, and it makes people feel unprecedented oppression!
Obviously.
The evil thieves who attempt to infiltrate the territory and assassinate the lord.
Even the good-tempered and compassionate Zhang Zhongjing can't tolerate it.
"Awesome! Grandpa Divine Doctor is awesome!"
"I worry too much! The territory is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"
"Hahaha, these invaders, they are dumbfounded now!"
"..."
The natural disaster army applauded.
At the same time, more and more Canglong Guards arrived.
The outcome of this battle is almost no suspense!
Su Fei is only a second- or third-rate commander, which is the level of Zhang San and Li Si. Gan Ning is indeed a powerful overlord unit, but he has just reached the threshold of the overlord, basically belonging to the weakest overlord, and there is a big gap with Zhang Xiu in the state of the Son of Filth.
The eight dragon guards took action with the help of the territory skills and Zhang Zhongjing.
They already have the ability to temporarily contain Gan Ning, not to mention that there are dozens or hundreds of blue dragon guards rushing to the battlefield.
Each of them is a third-level quasi-commander, and at the very least, they are the top third-level elites. Such a lineup is definitely not something Gan Ning and Su Fei can deal with. They can only barely hold on, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated.
…………
Core Hall.
Hang Yu observed behind the scenes.
In fact, not long after Gan Ning entered Luoshui City.
He had already sensed the presence of these invaders.
Although Gan Ning's Shadow March is very powerful, Hang Yu's attributes are too high, and his perception will be strengthened tenfold in the territory. With Gan Ning's current strength, it is unlikely that he can get close to him without being noticed.
"So that's it!"
No wonder the enemy lord's behavior was a bit strange at the beginning.
It turns out that Huangmei Township and Shansang City are both pretexts, and the real purpose is this surprise attack.
It must be said that the plan is still remarkable. If it is replaced by a weaker or similar lord, this sneak attack is likely to succeed, so that the opponent can take over this territory at the lowest cost!
However.
Obviously.
For Hang Yu.
This plan is meaningless.
Hang Yu has always been very cautious.
He will personally sit in the core hall most of the time, and as long as he is here, it will not succeed.
In addition, no matter what the situation is, Hang Yu will leave enough defense forces in the territory to ensure that even if he leaves temporarily, he will not be robbed!
Even if Zhou Cang took a hundred Canglong Guards to Woniu Mountain to carry out the mission, the total number of Canglong Guards was as high as 270, and the remaining Canglong Guards were still in the territory, including the most powerful eight initial guards.
Under this situation.
Even if Hang Yu is not in the territory.
Even if there is Gan Ning, a famous general who is good at surprise attacks.
The probability that they can capture the territory in one fell swoop is also very small.
But then again, Gan Ning is really capable. He can actually lead a small force to sneak in here, which has never happened in the past.
Gan Ning's ability to surprise attack.
Looking at the Three Kingdoms, it is an outstanding level.
It is not shameful to be attacked by him.
What's more, it was not successful this time.
But Hang Yu still realized the shortcomings of the territory in reconnaissance and early warning.
He felt it necessary to upgrade the reconnaissance tower of the territory, build more facilities with early warning functions, and improve the defense on the existing basis to prevent similar things from happening again!
No matter how low the risk is and how small the loophole is, it is still a hidden danger.
We must nip it in the bud and nip all signs!
In addition to upgrading the facilities in the territory and repairing possible loopholes, Hang Yu also needs to further expand the size of the main city guards and integrate the troops absorbed by the Wancheng area to ensure that the main city of Luoshui has enough power to deal with the enemy under any circumstances.
As for this skeleton Gan Ning?
Hang Yu can only comment: "What a pity!"
Gan Ning is a well-deserved famous general. In terms of fame, talent, record, and importance, he can be ranked in the top ten among the entire Dongwu generals. In terms of bravery alone, he is likely to be in the top three, second only to Sun Ce and Taishi Ci.
If he grows up fully, he has great potential.
But he has already surrendered to the lord of a foreign race.
He was even transformed into a dead bone.
This transformation from the racial level is different from Zhou Cang's physical change. Although the latter's physical condition has been demonized, his essence is still human, while Gan Ning has changed from the racial level.
Although he will gain some talents of the dead bone tribe.
But the price is to lock his own talents, his growth limit is greatly affected, and he will not produce luck skills.
This version of Gan Ning is basically useless, and he has been given a mark by another star lord, so it is almost impossible for him to rebel. He can only be eliminated directly to prevent future troubles.
Don't worry too much.
There is more than one Gan Ning in the Abyss plane.
When the will of the Abyss descends, countless parallel time and space will be created on the timeline. In the world derived from other time nodes, there are probably thousands of different versions of Gan Ning. There is nothing to regret!
I want this type of general.
In the future, just find a plane with Gan Ning and capture another one.
This battle allowed players to see the powerful foundation of the territory. The strength of the top Canglong Guards is already quite strong, and even Zhang Zhongjing has a good combat power. This matter is enough to cause heated discussions among the player community.
Hang Yu never took action personally from beginning to end.
Because there is no need at all.
Gan Ning greatly underestimated the strength of this human territory. The ten-man surprise attack team was directly surrounded and suppressed. This battle that fell into a trap will soon come to an end.
