Chapter 245: Giant Skeleton Altar! The Fight Between the Five Armies!
Blood City.
The top leaders of the Corpse Witch Territory gathered.
The atmosphere at this moment seemed a bit solemn.
The defeat in Huangmei Township meant that the Corpse Witch Territory's attack on the Human Territory had failed in stages!
Not only was the Corpse Witch Territory's troops annihilated in this battle, but they also failed to cause many casualties to the enemy.
This was a shameful defeat!
The Corpse Witch Elder, whose status in Blood City was second only to Xie Ming, said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that a human lord would be so difficult to deal with, and he was so flawless from beginning to end that we couldn't find any flaws!"
Indeed!
Although he was reluctant to admit it.
But this human not only had ministers and generals who were of the best quality, but also had a strong army that was strong enough to compete with the Corpse Witch Territory. He himself was also an excellent lord with extremely high comprehensive qualities.
Territory contact so far.
No matter what actions were taken.
For example, sneaking into the base camp to behead and assassinate, or going around to the rear to try to overthrow the population, or the Xie Ming lord using himself as bait to personally go down, he never made the human lord appear.
The Corpse Witch Lord could not find any opportunity to take advantage of.
Otherwise, if the human lord lost patience in any of the above actions, the Corpse Witch Lord would be able to obtain his intelligence, and even take the opportunity to steal his home and destroy his base camp in one fell swoop.
Carefully planned many times.
The human lords were not tricked.
Instead, the Corpse Witch Lord suffered heavy losses.
During this round of active attack on the Woniu Mountain area, the Corpse Witch Lord not only lost 8,000 dead skeleton troops, 2,000 corpse demon troops, plus several special troops, with a total loss of tens of thousands of troops.
He also lost many generals including Gan Ning, Hui Xiu, and Huang Zu.
He lost one-third of the hero units.
Even if the lords of the Undead Clan are known for their ability to recruit troops.
Such a large-scale consumption is enough to hurt the bones and vitality!
"Although the dead bone army suffered heavy casualties, the main force of my Corpse Witch Territory's main army is still there!" A Corpse Demon General stepped forward and volunteered: "I am willing to lead the Corpse Demon main force as a pioneer to compete with the human race!"
"No!"
Erosion Bone said: "Lord, the defeat at Woniu Mountain means that we must completely give up the idea of a quick victory. It is best to confront the human race with the advantage of military force and the home defense advantage of the territory. At least when we are fully recovered and have overwhelming power, it will not be too late to counterattack!"
This statement won the support of most Corpse Demon high-level officials.
Corpse Demons are naturally insidious and cunning, and do not like reckless actions.
Even though the current strength of the territory is still not to be underestimated, it can no longer withstand another failure in Huangmei Township, so it must become more cautious to prevent a situation where the boat capsizes in the ditch.
"That's right!"
"Although the human race has an undead army."
"But this army is small in number and limited in strength."
"As long as we take steady steps, they can't pose a threat at all."
"As for the generals and legions recruited by the human race from the local area, they are indeed very strong and have been proven to be completely killed!"
"Next, we should try to capture the undead and put them in the dungeon, and then use the solid defense of Shaxian City to consume the strength of the human race's troops."
"Wait until the human race's front is weakened."
"Then launch a new offensive."
"..."
The great elder Shi Gu and others put forward their own opinions.
These opinions are obviously pertinent and most in line with the actual situation!
Lord Xie Ming nodded after hearing this. Although he also wanted to avenge his shame as soon as possible, it was indeed dangerous to attack again rashly. Even with the foundation of the Corpse Witch Territory, another great defeat might threaten its survival.
It is better to exchange the home and away games.
Induce the human territory to take the initiative to attack the Corpse Witch Territory.
When the human race becomes the attacking party, the Corpse Witch Lord can use the defensive geographical advantage to consume the opponent's troops as much as possible, turning this lord war into a protracted confrontation and tug-of-war.
Time will be on the side of the Corpse Witch Lord!
Because although the human army has a small group of tough undead soldiers, most of the troops can still be killed, and the death of these elite soldiers is one less!
The human race's racial talent and initial strength are too weak, and it is too expensive to train a second or third level elite soldier from scratch.
Even if the two territories exchange their troops one-to-one, the price paid by the human territory will be much higher than that of the Corpse Witch Lord, and the consumption generated is asymmetric.
Xie Ming not only has racial advantages.
He originally came from a powerful undead force, and there are several powerful investors behind him, so the resources and magic crystal reserves on hand are rich enough.
In comparison.
Just a human.
It is impossible for him to have any big forces to support him, and it is impossible for him to attract too much investment. How many times can the resources he has withstand consumption? The longer the war lasts, the more obvious the decline of the human race will be.
During this process, the Corpse Witch Leader can continue to recruit soldiers and accumulate strength.
As long as the time is right!
We can launch a counterattack immediately!
In the end, we will win with overwhelming force!
"Although the human army cannot be underestimated, the hero units among the human race must be guarded, especially that Jia Xu!" The great elder of the corpse witch, Shi Gu, said with a solemn expression:
"This person is not only the most powerful hero unit of the human race, but also has unprecedented and incredible luck. My Ergui corpse demon clan is naturally good at magic, and the trickery corpses account for 60% to 70% of the troops. Once we encounter him, we will be restrained!"
"We must be prepared for the next battle."
"This person is very threatening and must be eliminated as soon as possible!"
Other corpse demons nodded.
Jia Xu's methods are indeed terrifying.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the nemesis of warlocks.
A corpse demon general said: "It's a pity that we lost Gan Ning in the battle of Huangmei Township, otherwise with his ability to surprise and assassinate, we might be able to formulate a plan against Jia Xu."
In the battle of Huangmei Township.
Although a large number of corpse witch troops were lost.
But the damage to the core main force was not great.
The most regrettable thing is the loss of Hui Xiu and Gan Ning.
Especially Gan Ning, although he is a servant of the Bone Tribe, he is the most powerful one among the Bone Tribe. His unique shadow ability gives the territory many more tactical options.
"It's useless to say this now."
"We must think of a way to restrain Jia Xu."
"Otherwise, as soon as he appears, our army will suffer heavy losses."
"..."
The corpse demons regard Jia Xu as their number one enemy.
"You don't have to worry about this." Xie Ming suddenly spoke with a calm expression, making the other corpse demons who were discussing on the scene shut up, "I have thought of a plan to deal with him, and I have also made corresponding preparations."
When hearing this.
All the corpse demons were very happy.
Xie Ming's preparations to deal with Jia Xu's threat are actually very simple.
Since Jia Xu can restrain magic units on a large scale, the territory can increase the number of non-magic units.
Xie Ming had just spent a huge amount of money to buy a blueprint called "Skeleton Giant Altar" from the Lord's Trading Market at a high price. After the meeting, he brought Shi Gu and other men to the Bone Burial City.
A few minutes later.
This special third-level undead building was summoned.
Xie Ming's eyes swept across the desolate, cold, and lifeless Bone Burial City.
There are still thousands of dead skeletons sleeping underneath, but these dead skeletons are relatively weak. They are all transformed from ordinary civilians. Even if they are awakened, they are only first-level combat power and are not very useful.
It's different with the Skeleton Giant Altar.
It can make these low-level dead bones play a greater role than cannon fodder.
This third-level undead building is a special barracks-type building. Ordinary dead skeletons can be used as sacrifices. For every ten dead skeleton units consumed, a powerful skeleton giant can be summoned!
"Wake up!"
"My loyal servants!"
Xie Ming first activated the Dead Bone Altar to awaken all the sleeping dead skeletons, and then activated the Skeleton Giant Altar to use these dead bones as sacrifices to create even more powerful Skeleton Giants.
After a while!
Accompanied by the shaking of the earth!
One after another, giant skeletons with a height of four or five feet appeared in the Buried Bone City.
Xie Ming exhausted all the dead bone reserves and consumed a large number of magic crystals, and finally successfully created 1,500 Skeleton Giants!
"So strong!"
The high-level corpse demons such as Shi Gu were all refreshed.
Each Skeleton Giant is the strength of a third-level elite, and its strength generally reaches about level 25. Each of them is thick-skinned, good at close combat, and has a strong survivability that is difficult to defeat.
Even among the elites of the same level.
That is also close to the first-class level.
Just this skeleton giant unit.
Its strength has exceeded all the troops deployed in Huangmei Township.
"The Lord is really capable!" Shigu sighed, "With such a powerful army and the geographical advantage for defense, the human race can't even think of shaking the territory!"
Xie Ming was also very satisfied with the new army he had built.
Although he spent a lot of money, it was totally worth it.
With this thick-skinned and hard-to-kill skeleton giant at the forefront of the territory, it is enough to build a strong defense line for the Corpse Witch Territory, making the human race's attack like an egg hitting a stone!
Under Xie Ming's order.
More than a thousand giants walked out of the burial ground with heavy steps.
"Erosion of bones!"
"I'm here!"
"From today on, you will personally guard the Giant Altar!"
Xie Ming gave an order to the Great Elder of the Corpse Witch and explained the reason: "Half of the Skeleton Giant's soul fire is sealed in the Skeleton Giant Altar. Its function is not only to continuously strengthen these powerful third-level soldiers, but also to quickly repair them and even revive them."
"But once the altar is destroyed, the sealed soul fire is destroyed, and the Skeleton Giant will be greatly weakened!"
I see!
Bone Erosion: "The human army has an undead army, and my territory has an equally nearly undead giant, and our giant army is ten or a hundred times more powerful than the human undead army!"
Xie Ming created such a powerful army.
On the one hand, it can increase the proportion of non-magic combat units in the territory.
On the other hand, it can also restrain the weird undead army in the human territory!
The skeleton giant was defeated in the battle, and as long as the soul fire can be preserved, it can be revived again. Although this process will pay a huge consumption and price, in a sense, it can also be regarded as undead.
But because of this.
The Bone Burial City and the Altar are particularly important.
The second person in the territory must be left here to guard.
Xie Ming is still not at ease with this, and sent another thousand trickery corpses to jointly cast a formation to hide the entire Bone Burial City with a formation that blocks perception and vision.
Even if an enemy sneaks in.
The location of the Bone Burial City cannot be found.
Now we can sit back and wait for the human leader to come and shake the tree with his might!
When Xie Ming led his men to leave the Bone Burial City, he saw a group of shadow energy surging on the hill not far from the Bone Burial City, and then a black and gray skeleton holding two knives appeared.
"Gaga!"
The Yin skeleton laughed strangely with its jawbone,
"It's worth my risk to go deep, this time I really gained a lot!"
This Yin skeleton was none other than the puppet made by Jia Xu with the skeleton Gan Ning. Although it was just a puppet, it perfectly retained all the abilities of the skeleton Gan Ning.
Xie Ming probably couldn't have dreamed of it.
The vicious dog that the Corpse Witch Leader accidentally lost has now become Jia Xu's perfect puppet. Not only can it be further refined and cultivated, but it can also be remotely controlled by him, so that he can perform various tasks without leaving home.
For example.
Shadow skeletons are particularly suitable for assassination.
He could have brought a small elite force to sneak behind enemy lines and launch an attack.
Of course, Jia Xu did not try to use it to assassinate any target in the Corpse Witch Territory.
Because Jia Xu knew very well that once the Shadow Skeleton was exposed, the enemy would be on guard, and the strategic value would be greatly reduced. It was not cost-effective to use it to assassinate ordinary targets, and it was obviously unrealistic to want to assassinate Xie Ming.
Let's not talk about it for now.
The Nether Blood City was heavily guarded.
Xie Ming had a strong perception ability.
Jia Xu did not even dare to let the skeleton approach within 5,000 meters, and even at this moment, he was only scouting from a distance.
As for why Jia Xu's skeleton puppet appeared here, it was ordered by the Lord to enter the Corpse Witch Territory to collect the topography and distribution of the Corpse Witch Territory's troops and towns, in preparation for the counterattack that was about to start.
So far.
The reconnaissance mission arranged by the Lord was carried out smoothly.
Two of the three maps of the Corpse Witch Territory have been explored.
North of Woniu Mountain is the "Xianshan Area", and north of Xianshan is the main city of the territory.
This means that there is a Xianshan area as a buffer zone between the core city of the Corpse Witch Territory and the human territory.
According to Jia Xu's investigation, the Xianshan area was part of the former Jiangxia County, including the four cities of Xiling, Shaxian, Zhu, and E.
Although the northernmost territory of the Corpse Witch Territory has not been investigated, it is basically certain that Xianshan is the largest of the three areas, with an area smaller than Wancheng area but above Woniu Mountain.
If.
Wancheng evolved from nearly half of Nanyang County.
Xianshan area evolved from about a quarter of Jiangxia County.
This is a very valuable area, and it is also a place with complex terrain and environment, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Although Xianshan is not the location of the Corpse Witch Territory's main city, it is now the most important territory of the Corpse Witch Territory. In this lord war, as long as the Corpse Witch Territory can defend Xianshan, it can basically ensure safety.
On the contrary.
Once Xianshan is lost.
The situation will be over and there will be no way to turn the tide!
After Jia Xu's reconnaissance, he obtained four cities in the Xianshan area and the distribution of more than ten towns and villages for his territory. Now he has discovered the burial ground and the skeleton giant army.
It can be said that.
Although the two sides have not started fighting.
But the human race has won in terms of intelligence.
However, Xie Ming and his men are more numerous than expected.
There are also the newly appeared skeleton giant troops, which is not an easy task to deal with.
Jia Xu just felt a little tricky.
So he couldn't help but sigh: Oh, it's really troublesome. If I could get rid of this corpse witch lord in Huangmei Township last time, I must have been lying down and enjoying my life in the territory now!
There is no way.
It's because the work is not done cleanly enough.
I have to work overtime without complaint.
When Jia Xu was working overtime to prepare for the next attack.
…………
In the main city of Luoshui.
The bidding for the main city assets has reached a white-hot stage.
The price of contribution points, from a few dozen yuan at the beginning, rose to more than 100, or even more than 200 in just over a day!
Every offer from the major corps and bosses was shared on the forum at the first time, shocking and amazed all cloud players.
Among these assets.
The competition around the ten shops is undoubtedly the most intense.
Because some individual bosses have made moves for ordinary houses, and these shops are completely the struggle of the five major corps, other players or forces are not even qualified to participate.
Among these ten auctioned shops.
The competition is the most intense for No. 1 Lord Avenue.
After all, this shop has the best location and the most symbolic significance. The five major corps don’t want to miss it. The price was hyped up to 2 million contribution points at the beginning, and then quickly broke through the 3 million and 4 million mark.
At this time, Ragnarok directly withdrew from the competition.
Although the power and financial strength behind King Arthur, the leader of the Ragnarok Corps, is not inferior to the other four major corps, the strength and foundation of the Ragnarok Corps itself are too weak.
Although the major corps are frantically raising the price to collect contribution points.
But this part of contribution points is actually very limited.
Because the major corps have never stopped purchasing contribution points in the past, the circulating contribution points that other players and individual players can exchange every day are limited, and the ones that can be sold have actually been sold out. How much can they produce in one or two days?
Because of this.
Even if Ragnarok is willing to spend more money.
The contribution points they can collect are also very limited.
Most of the contribution points used by the other four major corps in the auction are still the corps' own foundation, or the accumulated reserves in the past period of time, which is something that Ragnarok, which came later, cannot compare with.
The offer of Shop No. 1 is still increasing.
4 million, 4.5 million, 5 million!
After weighing the pros and cons, the Wings of Freedom Corps decided to withdraw from the competition.
This is the helpless consensus reached by Black Eyed Rui Ge and the members of Free Wings after discussion. The competition for Shop No. 1 is too fierce. If the trend continues, 5 million will definitely not be enough.
Although this price will definitely not be a loss in the long run, the premium of false reputation and symbolic significance are greater. Instead of spending a lot of money to fight for such a shop, it is better to be pragmatic and disperse the funds to buy more other shops or houses.
After all, the financial resources of Free Wings are still far behind those of Shenyu Palace and War God Temple.
When Black Eyed Rui Ge publicly announced his withdrawal from the competition.
The offer is still rising.
5.5 million!
6 million!
The entire game forum and major media are boiling!
Because the average transaction price of contribution points in the past hour has exceeded 200 yuan.
This means.
The real-time market value of No. 1 Lord Avenue has reached 1.2 billion!
Although this is just an estimate based on the current transaction price of contribution points, such a number is still enough to form a huge gimmick, making countless people crazy and shouting that they have never seen it before!
1.2 billion!
Buy a house!
Even in the real world.
That is a super luxury house at the top mid-level villa level in Hong Kong City!
Nowadays, a virtual real estate in a game can actually reach this valuation, which makes countless people doubt that they are in a dream!
However!
The competition has not stopped!
The purchase price of contribution points is still rising!
The auction price of the main city assets is still rising!
6.5 million!
7 million!
Now even the War God Temple can't stand it!
Although Ye Limeng really wants to take No. 1 to strengthen the army, the price is far beyond the estimate. If he must take No. 1 at all costs, the strength of the War God Temple can probably do it, but it means giving up many other assets.
This is somewhat not worth it!
In the end, Ye Limeng also announced that he would give up the competition!
Now only the Immortal Dragon Soul and the Divine Feather Palace are still competing!
Xiao Lingdang has always claimed to be the Lord's number one fan. Not only does she have faith and affection, but she also has strong financial backing, so she can hold on until now.
What is surprising is that.
The Immortal Dragon Soul Corps usually does not show off.
How could they defeat the Temple of War and the Wings of Freedom and hold on until now?
At this time, the transaction price of contribution points has exceeded the 250 mark!
7.2 million!
Xiao Lingdang gritted her teeth!
She gave a new offer!
Although the Shenyu Palace is financially strong and powerful, the current price is ridiculously high. All the contribution points in the Shenyu Palace, including all non-essential resources, add up to only 11 million. You can't keep staring at this shop.
This is the last offer!
Xiao Lingdang can only pray that the toast to the moon has reached its limit and will not follow again!
However.
Something that made her depressed happened soon.
In less than a few minutes, the leader of the Immortal Dragon Soul Corps, Jibei Wangyue, gave a new offer: 8 million!
Outrageous!
Decisive price!
Everyone was stunned!
"Hey, leader Wangyue is really courageous. My Shenyu Palace has also withdrawn from the competition for Lord Avenue No. 1!"
Xiao Lingdang had no choice. It was not that she could not afford a higher price, but that such competition was meaningless. She also had to consider the overall interests of the Corps!
Finally, the dust settled!
The Immortal Dragon Soul Corps bid for the five-year operation rights of Lord Avenue No. 1 with an outrageous 8 million contribution points!
Now the forum and major media were blown up. No one thought that Lord Avenue No. 1 would fall into the hands of Jibei Wangyue in the end, and no one thought that the Immortal Dragon Soul could defeat the three major Corps of the Temple of War, Shenyu Palace, and Wings of Freedom!
"Fuck!"
"Awesome!"
"Immortal Dragon Soul is so strong?"
"It's too hidden!"
"Leader Jiubei Wangyue is too generous!"
"Is he crazy? Is this necessary? No matter how rich he is, he can't do this!"
"Yeah! Although 8 million may not necessarily be a loss, wouldn't it be better to buy one or two more stores, or ten more houses? Jiubei Wangyue doesn't even have this little business sense. Pure sucker!"
"..."
However.
Behind the scenes.
Wang Yue and Zhou Zhengming have already broken out in a cold sweat.
Because taking over No. 1 Lord Avenue is a task assigned by the higher-ups, the symbolic and political significance of this asset is huge, and it must be in the hands of the pure national team anyway.
The total contribution points prepared by the entire Immortal Dragon Soul Corps is just 8 million.
You know.
The Special Investigation Division was the first to pay attention to the value of the main city's assets and start preparations.
This contribution point is the sum of the secret acquisitions over the past few days, plus all the savings and resources handed over by the Corps.
All handed over at once!
This means that the Immortal Dragon Soul Corps will withdraw from the competition for the other nine shops and one hundred houses. From a business perspective, this wave is indeed a brainless operation, but from a political perspective, it is an exciting victory.
Although there are ten shops.
But there is only one No. 1!
As for the one hundred houses? It doesn't matter too much!
Because the operating rights of shops cannot be sold, but houses can be bought and sold. In the future, they can just buy them from other forces, which is nothing more than spending more money.
As long as the problem can be solved with money.
That's not a problem!
After the four major corps withdrew from the competition for Lord Avenue No. 1, they participated in the competition for the other nine shops and one hundred houses with huge contribution points, and the result was a direct increase in prices.
Finally, when this crazy competition gradually came to an end,
The five major mercenary groups, the strength of the major players, the contribution points and resources in the pockets of the major players have almost been emptied. Even ordinary civilian players will take advantage of this wave of favorable conditions to sell the resources that can be sold and the circulating contribution points to make a lot of money.
It is foreseeable!
After this battle.
The Scourge Army returned to poverty overnight!
Except for some fixed and uncirculated contribution points, most people can't even squeeze out a drop of oil and water.
Everyone is so poor that they are crying!
Everyone is so poor that their eyes are green!
Once the Scourge Army becomes poor, it means that they will be given crazy buffs, and their desire for monsters and tasks will be ten times or a hundred times more than before!
And now!
Want to earn contributions.
Where is the biggest opportunity?
The answer is unique: of course it is the Corpse Witch Territory!
These players who are so poor that they want to kill the Corpse Witch Territory immediately!
