Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Zong Shen rode Hamis and was in the air, silently observing the situation in the Akaru area.

Also contrast it with the Boneyard.

Under such circumstances, he quickly came to a conclusion.

The Akaru region below is indeed a zone occupied by the undead.

Although the area is not as large as the Bone Burial Ground, the intensity of the undead's death energy is even greater.

This means that the ruins of the small town of Akaru may have long been turned into a dead zone for the undead.

No wonder the nearby indigenous people don't want to stay here.

Moreover, the Akaru ruins were also not attacked by the giant city.

The reason is probably similar to that of the Bone Burial Ground.

The crusade here is a thankless task.

Anyway, the Endless Continent does not lack areas suitable for people to live.

Just list this place as a restricted area, and the undead will not leave at will.

Only this place is rich in the power of undead death and shadow.

Very few Aboriginal people have visited the Akaroo area over the years.

Except for a few unlucky ones who stumble into it, occasionally there will be bold young people who come to practice.

Sometimes, some ambitious necromancers will come here to collect materials or contract with undead monsters.

But most of the time, it's extremely quiet here.

It is like a forgotten place, gradually forgotten by people.

It has become a taboo passed down orally by the surrounding aborigines.

However, many lords who came nearby regarded this place as a good place for leveling.

They first harassed from the outside, and then gradually deepened as their strength expanded.

Until some time ago, an undead natural disaster broke out here.

Hundreds of thousands of undead swarmed out under the leadership of the powerful Skeleton General. They swallowed up tens of thousands of lord troops like a tide.

Those soldiers who were eliminated reappeared in the form of undead on the outskirts of the Akaru area the next day, becoming members of the wandering undead.

It is said that a lord once discovered the newly built lair of the undead on the ruins deep in the Akaru region. It was guarded by the [Ghost Tower]. Without a strong enough army, it could not even get close.

The surrounding lords [legions] organized several crusade offensives.

All ended in destruction.

Because of this, the Akaru area is also taboo to surrounding lords.

Including Xiao Kaijie and Wen Qing who had previously planned to come here to try their luck.

But after weighing it several times, we decided to go to the burial ground.

This shows that the bad reputation of this place has probably spread a long time ago.

The lord, who is curious and fearless, has hit a wall here.

The above situations are all learned through the strategy module.

Zong Shen didn't care.

Because when the strategy module was screening, it clearly showed that he could be dealt with here.

In fact, dealing with the undead, those stragglers are not terrible.

The difficulty is after they form a scale.

As long as the leader of the undead is eliminated first, the main conflict can be alleviated in a short period of time.

However, judging from the information in the notes, the undead entrenched here are not simple.

A lair for the undead has been built.

The so-called lair of the undead can be understood as a town belonging to the undead.

The situation in the Boneyard is special. The undead there are all specially created by demons.

It has been suppressed by the [Tower of the Dead] since its birth.

Therefore, there will be no such thing as a lair of the undead.

The undead here in Akalu are different.

They were obviously born spontaneously due to the gathering of the undead's death energy.

Whether or not there is a lair of the undead is a hurdle.

At the same time, it also represents the emergence of order and class among the undead here.

The undead lair has many functions. It is a general term that contains a large number of undead buildings.

Including [Shadow Pool], [Ghost Tower], [Skeleton Altar], etc.

Because of this, the undead energy of death here is so abundant.

It is a conscious production and concentration.

For the undead tribe that owns the undead lair.

War with the living is not terrible.

Because those living people who died in the war will eventually turn into new undead.

From souls to flesh and bones, everything in the living can be transformed into the material that makes up the undead.

The more they fight, the stronger they become, and their fearlessness of death are the most outstanding characteristics of the undead.

No wonder the giant cities around here don't bother to send out a crusade.

Want to break through such a place with a lair of the undead.

At the very least, hundreds of thousands of garrison troops must be mobilized.

Normally speaking, the strength of giant city-level troops is around one million.

Of course, if they really take action, Jucheng will definitely be able to conquer the Akaru area.

But it's not necessary.

It's not cost-effective at all.

Just for this land with a radius of dozens of kilometers?

It would be better to allocate several million dinars to directly relocate the indigenous people to other areas for land reclamation.

The undead are known as a tough nut to crack.

Even if the Giant City Crusade Army wins, they will still have to pay a certain amount of casualties.

Coupled with the expense of marching, mobilizing and trekking, it is totally not worth it.

Only fools attack when it causes a hundred harms and no benefit.

Since the last kingdom of the undead was conquered thousands of years ago.

The undead restricted areas in the Endless Continent are scattered.

It is difficult to form a climate.

The local aborigines didn't bother to pay attention to these sinister guys who were difficult to deal with.

At this moment, Zong Shen seemed to have become that fool.

However, he had no intention of capturing this place, he was just looking for the ruins of Akalu Holy Light Church.

All you need to do is get the holy water and relieve the [light-dark imbalance] in your body.

This is the highest priority goal.

As for whether to attack the undead lair.

It has to be decided based on the actual situation.

There is no [Tower of the Dead] here, and it is not easy to control those undead.

It's a pity that the space formation that will free Gu Tian from the shackles is still being prepared.

Otherwise, bringing Gutian here and helping it become the ruler of Akaru's undead lair is equivalent to indirectly solving all the problems.

As for now, Zong Shen has no intention of going on a killing spree here.

It took more than ten minutes to sort out the situation, and also observed the terrain of the Akaru area.

Zong basically knew what was going on.

The thick fog below was a nuisance.

These fogs are a mixture of water mist and dead air.

It can effectively block the prying eyes of the real eye.

Even Zong Shen can rely on the strategy module to navigate.

But it’s always not that neat when everything is foggy.

According to the guidance of the Golden Circle, the ruins of the Akaru Holy Light Church are located in the central area.

There and the golden circle mark representing the undead lair almost completely overlap.

I guess I will definitely have to deal with the undead.

In this case, he doesn't have to think about acting secretly.

The detection method of undead is different from that of humans, and conventional stealth methods are difficult to work.

Thinking of this, he took out a talisman with his backhand.

[Hurricane Mark (Blue)]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: Hurricane Strike (summons 5 hurricanes to sweep over the enemy, causing 15 points of wind magic damage per second, and there is a certain probability of sweeping the enemy into the sky depending on the enemy's weight and body shape, lasting 10 seconds )】

[Number of uses: 5]

…

I've had this thing for a while.

He always keeps it in the storage compartment for later use.

I just never had the chance to use it.

Nowadays, the magic damage effect of [Hurricane Strike] is better than nothing for Zong Shen.

But the five hurricane blows it comes with are still very suitable for current use.

Without any hesitation, Zong Shen chose to activate.

And it was activated 3 times in a row.

Immediately, 15 hurricanes gathered below and swept in all directions.

The surging air disrupted the thick milk-like mist.

They are layer upon layer, like clouds and mist piled together that are constantly billowing.

The thick fog was also pushed away.

At this time, there was a faint light in the east, and the earth gradually became brighter. This was a precursor to dawn.

Where the hurricane swept through, dense small amounts of damage floated up.

There are also many that are directly [0].

A mere 15 points of magic damage can only affect low-level undead.

Thousands of undead are gathered together, and nearby are many towers that emit the death energy of the undead.

They seemed to be in a state of dormancy, letting the lifeless energy and withered bodies wander around in a sluggish manner.

But the hurricane summoned by Zong Shen broke their peace.

The flames representing souls in countless skulls suddenly lit up.

The walking corpse with a broken body staggered.

The dark ghost roared manically.

They quickly locked onto the uninvited visitor in the sky.

The duration of a hurricane is only ten seconds.

The sweeping wind surge cleared the view below.

In fact, there is not much fog at a distance close to the ground.

This thick layer of fog is like an upside-down bowl.

Countless ghosts rose into the sky, like dark water sleeves dancing all over the sky.

They rushed towards Zong Shen and Hamis who were hundreds of meters in the sky.

The skeletons that could not fly brought huge bone crossbows.

Bone crossbows as thick as arms were cocked and aimed at the sky.

The skeleton mages holding high the bone fire staff gathered together, and the blue will-o'-the-wisps flickered erratically.

They used soul waves to sing cooperatively, and at least hundreds of ghost heads condensed out.

The giant walking corpse among them was inflating its abdomen and spitting out balls of smelly venom into the air.

A swarm of random attacks came.

Some will hit, and some won't shoot that high at all.

As for the hundreds of ghosts, they were roasted into nothingness by the sacrificial fire rising from the surface of Khamis before they could get close.

Zong Shen even gained a lot of experience points here.

It's just that tens of thousands of experience points are somewhat worthless to him now.

Sacrificial Fire can perfectly restrain the attack of ghosts.

It can be regarded as brine and some tofu, one thing is reduced and the other is reduced.

Other attacks from below are not difficult to dodge.

Hamis is dexterous enough, it is a nightmare from hell, it moves like a ghost.

Those bone crossbows were so violent that they could be easily dodged every time.

However, when Zong Shen's master and servant appeared.

The undead below issued a warning in the form of soul fluctuations, and the fluctuations in the range were just like the tide.

This is a trumpet warning among the dead.

Following the middle and low-level undead, many undead wearing armor began to appear.

After the arrival of these undead, the middle and low-level undead who were still a little crazy suddenly became more honest.

They gather in formation and activate various undead buildings in an orderly manner.

Semi-circular shields with different levels appear.

The multi-legged bone monster dragged the skeleton cannon cart and slowly entered the position.

Everything seemed in order.

Tsk, tsk.

It's really different with the undead lair.

With this kind of order and those equipment, we are indeed qualified to fight against the regular army of the giant city.

Zong Shen clicked his tongue in surprise, but was not overly surprised.

This situation was expected by him.

Let's go, let's go straight away.

But don't get too close down there.

There is a blank area below the fog layer.

But after Zong Shen saw the situation clearly, he was not prepared to approach and fly carelessly.

Because there are many undead buildings and defensive equipment scattered below, if they are too close to the ground, they will definitely be affected.

Even if Zong is not afraid at all, it will still waste time.

So he set off directly towards his destination.

He planned to use the power of thunder to enter the ruins of the Akaru Holy Light Church and take away the so-called remaining holy water.

He did not intend to waste this undead lair.

When Gu Tian unblocks it and is willing to join the territory, he can come and pick up a ready-made undead territory.

If Gu Tian refuses to obey, he will consider training [Lion Skeleton Knight Richardson] first.

As long as there is an undead hero who can carry the cauldron, he can take this place.

This point is very important. If there is not a strong enough undead hero, then it will be inconvenient for him to take over this undead lair.

If you simply regard this place as a place for leveling or fighting.

That's even more of a waste.

After making up his mind, Zong Shen did not intend to waste time.

After getting the holy water first, he had to rush to the next location.

Only by solving the hidden danger of [Light and Dark Balance] can he go to the [Devil Execution Chamber] and the demon hunter ruins left by Illidan with peace of mind.

If the three major states of [Devil], [Holy Light], and [Light and Darkness] can be enhanced.

There is no doubt that Zong Shen's normal combat power has improved.

Especially now, when attribute accumulation has entered a gentle period.

It is unrealistic to quickly reach the peak of demigod or legend with normal attributes.

And want to increase your strength immediately.

It is very important to improve these three status skills.

Khamis also became excited under the attack from below.

It snorted, and columns of sulfurous air drifted.

The four hooves ignited cloud-like sacrificial fires.

The remaining flames couldn't keep up with its speed, and turned into a trajectory behind it.

Suddenly, Khamis seemed to turn into a green flaming meteor that quickly streaked across the sky over the Akaru area.

The fog around him was naturally pushed away.

Its speed is extremely fast, and according to this trend, it will only take more than half a minute to reach the destination.

During this period, at least thousands of ghosts rushed towards him without fear of death.

But they were all evaporated into nothingness by the fire of sacrifice.

As for other fancy attacks, they can't even scratch Hamis's hair.

The excited Hamis showed the true strength of Nightmare.

Among the armies, it almost comes and goes with ease.

Zong Shen sat upright and looked forward with narrowed eyes.

His eyes were very sharp, as if he had seen through everything.
