Chapter 1033 Digging Your Own Grave

If his territory shows a little weakness, the enemies around him will probably rush over and eat him first.

Including the Burning Queen who was attacking the Corpse King.

The opponent's turn was not only based on hatred for the Corpse King, but also on the powerful force he showed. There was not much benefit in continuing to fight against him, so it was better to take revenge.

Want to go long-term.

Gavin must carefully balance the use of soul energy, especially in extraction.

Only by ensuring the long-term of this territory can he have an inexhaustible supply of soul purification essence.

There is indeed only one piece of Bone Plain, but the Endless Abyss is endless, with endless places for him to conquer and plunder.

After this ambush, Gavin had to make a new round of adjustments to the reconnaissance and rescue mechanism of the Shadow Flying Vehicle.

All Shadow Flying Vehicles no longer act alone, but adopt a three-three system and take random routes.

After encountering the enemy, no attack will be launched, and reinforcements will not be easily sent.

Even if it self-destructs, it will not give the enemy a chance to capture it, and will not actively intervene in the ground war.

The main goal is to not give the enemy any chance.

The huge advancement and impact of this incident on the battle of Bone Plains even far exceeded Gavin's expectations.

The Corpse King dragged the Shadow Flying Vehicle back to the Lich Tower, and then a shocking explosion sounded inside.

Gavin's estimate that the self-destruction of the Shadow Flying Vehicle was equivalent to the sum of two skeleton bombs was too conservative.

There are not only two skeleton ejectors on the Shadow Flying Vehicle, but also two skeleton throwers on the abdomen.

When entering the self-destruct state, it is natural to use all the power as much as possible.

The four times the power released together at the same time is definitely not as simple as the accumulation of one plus one, but increases geometrically.

The entire Shadow Flying Vehicle has become a super bomb.

The roar of its explosion can be clearly felt even more than ten kilometers away.

The upper half of the entire Skeleton Lich Tower disappeared on the spot and was blown up to the sky. There were flying skeleton fragments everywhere, and it was impossible to tell which ones were from the Shadow Flying Vehicle and which ones were from the Skeleton Lich Tower itself.

The Burning Flame Queen, who was teleported back from the ambush battlefield, couldn't help laughing when she saw this situation: "Aldridge has been calculating for a long time, but he actually calculated it on his own head, haha... Picking up things from your own home will be punished, haha... Attack, full-scale attack, I will occupy the Lich Tower today!"

There is no need to guess, the problem must be with the Shadow Flying Vehicle that the Corpse King forcibly teleported back.

I just don't know if this is an unintentional coincidence?

Or is everything calculated by the defiler?

If the latter, then he is really terrible.

The Burning Flame Queen certainly would not miss this excellent opportunity. She immediately led her Burning Flame Army to launch a full-scale attack, and she led the Guards Burning Body Flame Spirits to rush to the half-remaining Skeleton Lich Tower.

They are a group of uncompromising destroyers. Wherever they go, they will bring the terrifying flames, leaving only a trail of gray ashes behind them.

In other words, they are now facing a group of unintelligent undead. If they were replaced by ordinary troops, they would have been defeated long ago.

"Will Aldridge himself be blown to death?"

The Burning Flame Queen, who was rushing in the front, couldn't help but have such a guess in her heart.

Although the army of the Corpse Territory was fighting desperately, it can be clearly felt that they were like a pile of loose sand.

Especially the high-end combat power of the Corpse Territory, although there were attempts to intercept them, they were too scattered.

Just like delivering food, there was no need for the Burning Flame Queen to do it herself, and those Burning Flame Spirits' personal soldiers would divide and eat them.

There is only one way for this situation to happen, that is, the Corpse King, the lord of the Corpse Territory, suffered a heavy blow, and they are now leaderless.

The more the Burning Flame Queen thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible. When the Corpse King launched the forced teleportation, his hand was touching the shadow aircraft.

This means that he was at the center of the explosion. Even the Skeleton Lich Tower was torn apart in an instant, not to mention that he was a lich.

Liches are famous for their rebirth with the phylactery and powerful spellcasting ability, not their physical strength.

It is not difficult to see from the ability of the phylactery that liches do not value their bodies. In their eyes, it is just a body that can be discarded and replaced at will.

The phylactery is the real key. As long as the phylactery is there, they can occupy a new body again.

This time is probably no exception. It is only the body of the Corpse King that was destroyed.

However, whether it is the phylactery or rebirth in the soul pool, it takes time, at least one day and one night.

The rebirth time is related to the life dice, which basically follows the rule of one life dice/hour.

The life dice of the Corpse King starts at thirty.

Thirty hours can be very long or very short.

At this critical moment of the confrontation between the two armies, it is absolutely fatal.

Without the coordination and command of the Corpse King, the low-level undead lords under his command fought on their own and could not withstand the crazy invasion of the Burning Queen.

At their level, ordinary soldiers have no way to stop them.

They are the balance destroyers on the battlefield. Wherever they go, they will bring destruction and completely break the balance there. The army behind them will take advantage of the situation and rush in, launching crazy killings to expand the results of the battle.

It took only half a day for the Burning Flame Queen to lead her army to the Skeleton Lich Tower.

"You go in first!" The Burning Flame Queen sent a Burning Flame Spirit to drill into the Skeleton Lich Tower, which was only half left.

It looked even more miserable when viewed from a close distance. It was not that the entire upper half was missing, but it was torn off by someone, and the damage was uneven.

Just like its name, it was built with twisted bones, and its shape was a standard wizard spire.

It looked sharp and thin from a distance.

In fact, it covers an area of ​​up to 100 square meters, but it is just too high.

Don't think it is very fragile just because it is built with bones.

In fact, its hardness is not much lower than that of steel and concrete structures, and it is always covered with powerful magic.

Like most defensive capabilities, the strongest side of this defensive spell is external, and the inside is relatively fragile.

If the explosion did not occur inside, the damage caused would definitely not be as great as it is now.

The Burning Queen had just seen the power of the Corpse King's serial traps, so she was naturally cautious.

Although his serial traps eventually trapped her, that was the result of his enemy's superiority, and it did not mean that his serial traps were less powerful.

Who knows if the destruction of the Skeleton Lich Tower was a self-directed drama, another trap set by him.

It seems a bit overestimating him, but it is not impossible that he faked his death and deliberately lured himself into the Skeleton Lich Tower and set a trap there.

Like all wizard towers, the Skeleton Lich Tower is also full of dangers, filled with various mechanisms and magic traps. Here, the lich's ability will be brought to the extreme.

Even if it is severely blown up, it must not be underestimated.

As long as there is an anti-magic area and she is trapped in the ruins of the Skeleton Lich Tower, not only will the advantage she just gained be abolished, but the opponent may even launch a counterattack and destroy her Burning Flame Army.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Not long after the Burning Flame Spirit entered, all kinds of explosions and roars came from it.

The Burning Flame Queen was not surprised but happy, thinking to herself: "Is it because I worry too much? Has Aldridge really been blown to death?"

All the sounds coming from the Skeleton Lich Tower were the movements of conventional physical and magic traps. Not to mention the Burning Flame Queen, even ordinary Burning Flame Spirits would hardly pose a fatal threat.

Huh!

The Burning Flame Queen in humanoid flame state suddenly soared and turned into a huge fire cloud, directly covering the surrounding Burning Flame Army, and the red flames drilled into the bodies of the skeleton undead with fiery red skeletons.

"Spare my life! Queen, spare my life!" Those flame skeleton undeads wailed sharply.

They are the special undead of the Burning Bone Territory, and they have more or less integrated fire elements into their bodies, which makes them have fire attacks and fire resistance.

But this kind of fire resistance is not enough in front of the Burning Flame Queen's soul infusion. Once her power enters their bodies in large quantities, it will not take long for them to burn their bodies and souls together.

It's nothing more than that they can hold on a little longer, but this kind of long time is not a blessing, but a curse, which will only prolong their suffering.

The Burning Flame Queen turned a deaf ear to their wailing, and carried out her plan to the end, pouring part of her soul consciousness into their bodies, replacing them, and then urging them to rush into the Skeleton Lich Tower.

In this way, even if the Corpse King set a trap inside, it would only kill part of his soul consciousness, and it would not pose a fatal threat to himself.

The Soul-Infused Puppet controlled by the Burning Flame Queen arrived first and soon caught up with the Burning Body Flame Spirit that was sent in earlier.

With the cooperation of the two, the speed of advancement was obviously faster.

The Burning Body Flame Spirit broke those traps that only had physical killing properties. It was a spirit body, and it usually would not trigger such traps.

The Soul-Infused Puppet was responsible for destroying those magic traps, and in many cases, it directly used itself as bait.

Even if it was destroyed, it didn't feel bad at all.

The Burning Flame Queen dare not say that such soul-infused puppets are inexhaustible, but there are tens of thousands of them.

If one is lost, she can control the second and third soul-infused puppets.

In this way, regardless of consumption, they advance very quickly and soon reach the bottom of the Skeleton Lich Tower - the largest soul pool in the Corpse Territory, where the soul mark of the Corpse King is located.

The Burning Flame Queen's soul-infused puppet successfully breaks through here, which fully illustrates a problem.

That is, the Corpse King was really caught off guard by the Shadow Flying Vehicle and is still in a state of rebirth.

Crack!

The soul-infused puppet controlled by the Burning Flame Queen once again turned into a pile of dry bones.

It was not burned to ashes, but was violently destroyed by someone.

In a glimpse, the Burning Flame Queen only saw a large dark figure, and there were more emerging from the darkness, rushing towards the Burning Flame Spirit.

That was the last defense left by the Corpse King in the Soul Pool. Every high-level Undead Lord would prepare such a killer in his own Soul Pool.

The Burning Queen no longer hesitated and turned into a ball of red flames, rushing down fiercely.

As long as this was not a trap specifically targeting her, she would not be afraid even if she faced the Corpse King head-on, let alone the last guard.

After rushing in and seeing the scene clearly, the Flame Queen couldn't help but cursed angrily: "Aldrich, you old bastard, you can't restless even if you are dead."

At first glance, these soul pool guards look like strange skeletal undead. Their whole bodies look like skeletons, and shadow-like mist fills the hollow parts.

But if you look closely, you will find that they are not composed of bones, but a kind of black metal, which seems to absorb light, making it appear darker, as if it blends into the surrounding darkness.

It was obviously made of metal, but it floated in the air like a ghost, making no sound.

It has no legs, replaced by a pair of slender black metal skeleton arms, with sharp metal claws attached to the ends, covered with cold frost. They were the ones that tore apart the soul-imbued puppet of the Burning Flame Queen before.

It also has no neck, and the metal skull is mounted directly on the torso.

These soul pool guards were obviously secret weapons prepared by the King of Corpses for the Burning Flame Spirits. When the Burning Flame Queen came in, the Burning Flame Spirits who followed her in first were being beaten wildly by the four soul pool guards.

They can attack simultaneously with four black metal claws on their hands and feet.

If it is a normal physical attack, it will be greatly reduced against the body-burning flame spirits. In the state of not being filled with souls, they are spirits.

The key to the problem is that these black metal claws are all equipped with ice magic. They explode instantly when they catch the Burning Flame Spirit, neutralizing and extinguishing the flames in the Burning Flame Spirit's body in pieces.

This resulted in a situation where there were big holes. Soon the body-burning flame spirit was torn to pieces, and the flame body became extremely thin.

On the other hand, the power of the Burning Body Flame Spirit will be greatly reduced.

The two most powerful attack methods of the Burning Body Flame Spirit were useless.

The energy-absorbing attack fell on the soul pool guard, and not only failed to cause any damage to it, but the black metal became darker and brighter, which shows that they also have the ability to absorb negative energy, or in other words, this Metal has a close relationship with negative energy and has been soaked or forged with it.

The same is true for another signature ability: Soul Imbuing. The terrifying fire element licks their metal bodies, only making the black metals slightly red without any sign of melting. Their melting points are definitely much higher than normal metals. many.

And what drives them is definitely not the fire of the soul, but pure negative energy or shadow energy, otherwise it will be ignited internally.

The flames on the Burning Body Flame Spirit are soul flames, and every time they burn, they burn from the inside out.

This means they are golems, not undead.

There is only a thin line between the golem and the undead.

The dividing line is not the materials they are made of, but the energy that drives them.

Anything driven by soul energy, whether it is bones, metal, bones or other weird materials, is called undead.

But if what drives them is not soul energy, even if it is completely composed of bones or flesh and blood, then it is still a demon.

It is for this reason that there are intelligent undead among the undead, even if they are relatively rare.

The golems, without exception, have no intelligence and only have the most basic fighting instincts.

This was also the case for the four soul pool guards. Even though the Burning Flame Queen came in, she did not change the direction of attack, but continued to attack the first Burning Body Flame Spirit.

The Flame Queen immediately mobilized a large number of undead who were good at melee combat. While sending them to attract the attention of the four soul pool guards, she sent a cannon fodder in front of the Burning Flame Spirit.

The body-burning flame soul understood the idea and immediately launched a soul-imbuing attack on it, turning it into a blazing flame skeleton. Then, waving the skeleton weapon, it launched an attack on the nearest soul pool guard. The fight was brutal.

For a moment, neither side could do anything to win over the other.

Although these soul pool guards had sharp claws and quickly tore these skeletal undead into pieces, this place had already been occupied by the Burning Flame Army led by the Burning Flame Queen. There was an endless supply of such cannon fodder.

Shredding the bones of the undead will not harm the body-burning flame spirit that is in the soul-imbuing state. She can turn into a ball of flames and occupy a new body again. As the soul-imbuing soul continues to be activated, the damage she originally received is also increasing. Keep recovering.

After they were completely entangled, Queen Burning Flame left them alone, flew directly towards the center of the soul pool, and plunged into it.

Stealing the Soul Pool of the Corpse Territory is the key to the whole thing.

As long as it is captured, the four soul pool guards without intelligence will be able to catch it.

The Flame Queen's way of seizing the soul pool is very similar to Gavin's, but there are essential differences.

They also go deep into the soul pool and the sea of ​​consciousness.

It’s just that Gavin used his divine power to plunder it and take it for himself.

The Flame Queen used her soul consciousness to synchronize, replacing the original soul imprint of the high-level undead lord, leaving her own.

Since the King of Corpses has died and only a trace of his soul mark is left, there is no way to fight against the Queen of Flames who is in her prime state. She invades the Corpse Territory very quickly.

The moment she completed the transformation, the Burning Flame Queen roared uncontrollably and soared into the sky.

The soul pool of the entire Corpse Territory fell directly into a blazing fire, and then spiraled upwards, spreading throughout the Skeleton Lich Tower.

She turned into a human form, her body was bigger and more solid, and she was perched on the top of the broken skeleton lich tower, like a flame statue standing on her throne.

The power of these high-level undead lords is closely related to the size of the territory. The larger the territory, the stronger the blessing they have.

Occupying the corpse territory directly pushed the power of the Burning Flame Queen to a new peak.

No, it was not just that.

In the process, she seemed to awaken a new power, a hearty pleasure of revenge, which filled the Burning Flame Queen's body and mind.

"Stop!" The Burning Flame Queen roared wildly, and the power of the flame began to vibrate in all directions, immersing the bodies of the corpse soldiers with a layer of flame color.

The Burning Flame Army and the Corpse Army, which were originally fighting fiercely, immediately stopped.

The Burning Flame Queen had previously only led her elite troops to kill a path in the Corpse Army and rushed to the front of the Skeleton Lich Tower, but did not destroy the entire army.

Now that they have all become subordinates of the Burning Queen, there is naturally no need to continue fighting. (End of this chapter)
