Chapter 55: Second Generation: Waiting for the Rabbit
Kagar Mountains.
Black Stone City.
This city is surrounded by mountains on both sides, with a rugged terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
It is like a pass, stuck in the only way to the Kingdom of Ryan.
Five hundred years ago, the abyss demons invaded in large numbers.
The 300,000 Holy Light Knights of the Empire defeated the demon army here.
Since the Abyss War.
This place has become the border fortress of the Ryan Empire.
A 10,000-strong Holy Light Knights and more than 100,000 elite soldiers of the Empire are stationed here all year round.
And because it is close to the Kagar Mountains with abundant supplies.
The residents of Black Stone City are mostly merchants, peddlers, and mercenaries and bounty hunters who live on the edge of a knife.
At this time, the sky was dawning.
A mercenary group of 20 people rode on war horses and left Black Stone City early, rushing to the direction of the Skeleton Wasteland.
"Teacher, don't we wait for the other members to join us?"
A young man dressed in animal skin armor and mercenary asked in a low voice.
"The monsters of the Holy Light Knights have noses sharper than hounds. Do you want to stay in the city and wait for death?"
A gray-haired old man in black robes scolded.
"Hurry up, we must rush to the agreed place to gather before dark!"
At the urging of the old man.
The group galloped at a very fast speed. In less than two hours, they had left Black Stone City hundreds of kilometers away and stepped into the range of the Skeleton Wasteland.
"Wait!"
Just as they were about to pass a canyon, the old man in black robes finally noticed something wrong.
As dark alchemists, their souls are far more powerful than ordinary mages.
So their perception is also more acute.
Half an hour after leaving the city, he felt a hint of peeping.
When he arrived at this canyon,
this feeling of being peeped in the dark was even stronger!
"Something's wrong, we're being followed!"
The old man in black robes' face changed drastically, and he hurriedly raised his hand to stop everyone from entering the canyon.
What a pity.
It was too late at this time.
Before the old man in black robe finished speaking, he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life!
Within a radius of one kilometer.
A ray of blood-colored soul fire appeared in the eyes of all creatures!
The hawks in the sky, the ants on the ground, the poisonous snakes in the jungle, and the lizards lying on the rocks...
At this moment, they all raised their heads and stared at them!
Under this strange gaze, everyone's scalp was numb and goose bumps fell all over the ground!
"Go!"
The old man in black robe pulled the reins desperately, trying to run towards the direction of Black Stone City.
But the next second.
A large number of skeleton archers appeared on both sides of the canyon!
These archers were well-trained and bent their bows and arrows at the same time.
Then a rain of arrows fell from the sky, instantly drowning the mercenary team!
At the same time.
Tens of thousands of headless knights surrounded them from the left and right sides, giving them no time to react.
Behind the army.
Holding the skeleton staff, Lu Yuan immediately released a seventh-level dark magic that Lucia had spent a lot of money to buy from the black market.
[Seventh-level dark magic·Soul shock! ]
This magic can impact the enemy's mind and soul, making the opponent temporarily incapable of action.
It is a perfect match with [Dead Scourge]!
"Seventh-level dark mage?"
The black-robed old man felt cold in his heart, and his eyes were full of despair.
Before he could react, a terrifying soul wave swept towards him like a raging wave.
In front of Lu Yuan's incredibly powerful mental power.
The soul of the black-robed old man was like a candle in the wind, and he had no resistance at all.
His eyes went dark and he lost all consciousness in an instant.
When he opened his eyes again.
He has become a member of the Scourge Legion!
Then.
After asking.
Lu Yuan finally knew the identity of the black-robed old man and the specific whereabouts of other members of the original dark organization.
Although the black-robed old man is not strong.
But as a seventh-level dark alchemist, he is already a rare talent in the original dark organization, and even many senior executives have to give him some face.
So compared to Norton, he can access more core secrets.
According to the old man in black robes.
The original dark organization was looking forward to the coming of the Demon King of Fear, and for this reason, it did not hesitate to risk being discovered by the Holy Light Empire and resolutely sent a deputy leader to lead the entire soul refining ceremony.
The deputy leader was named Megan Joseph. Although he was a ninth-level dark alchemist, he had survived for more than 300 years, and both his magic power and realm had been raised to the extreme.
His combat power was not inferior to that of the ninth-level holy mage.
And in three days.
Megan would arrive at the Skeleton Wasteland.
Hearing this news, Lu Yuan had a headache.
He originally wanted to wait and see, but he didn't expect to wait for a prehistoric Tyrannosaurus Rex.
There was a gap of two realms between the seventh and ninth levels.
The gap between the two was like a natural chasm, which could no longer be made up by quantity and talent.
Don't look at Lu Yuan sitting on a million skeletons.
But for the ninth-level holy mage, this was just a group of chickens and dogs.
What's more.
The ninth-level dark alchemist had many means.
If Megan is given a little time, the news will be spread.
In order to prevent the news from leaking out, Lu Yuan must fight quickly and not let the original dark organization get any wind.
In this way.
The human wave tactics that Lu Yuan regarded as his greatest reliance also lost their effect.
It is already very difficult to kill a ninth-level holy mage in a short period of time.
If no news can be leaked, it will be harder than climbing to the sky.
"Is it the only way to give up like this?"
Lu Yuan was very unwilling.
Think about it again.
There must be other ways!
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
With the help of the old man in black robe.
Lu Yuan used ambush, poisoning, sneak attack, assassination and other methods to kill more than 80 members of the original dark organization.
Most of these people are dark alchemists, but some are high-level mages who escort this ceremony.
Many people did not expect it.
The companion who was still chatting and laughing with him in the last second would kill him without hesitation in the next second.
Even if a small number of people can detect the abnormality.
But facing Lu Yuan's sneak attack and siege, they can only die with hatred.
The third day.
Except for the deputy leader Megan.
All the members of the original dark organization who participated in this ceremony became Lu Yuan's insiders.
Seeing that the time for everyone to meet was getting closer and closer.
Lu Yuan was at a loss, and he had never thought of a way to quietly solve Megan's problem.
But the plan was already halfway completed, and he was absolutely unwilling to give up.
So in the evening of that day.
Lu Yuan summoned all his men to discuss the matter together.
Everyone made suggestions and offered them to Lu Yuan.
Some people suggested poisoning, and some suggested sneak attacks to catch Megan off guard.
Others suggested gathering everyone's strength to build a large dark magic circle to completely block this space, and then use the human wave tactics to exhaust Megan to death.
But after Lu Yuan understood.
Megan has always been cautious and vigilant, even when sleeping.
Not to mention that it is unrealistic to poison a ninth-level dark alchemist.
As for blocking the space, it is even more impossible.
Such a large-scale battle is bound to attract the attention of the Demon King of Dread and the Holy Light Empire.
Even if Megan can be killed at that time, the plan is doomed to fail.
Just when Lu Yuan was having a headache about this.
A magic scroll suddenly emerged from the void.
This is space teleportation magic, which can only be performed by high-level magicians.
Seeing the message in the scroll, Norton and others' faces changed drastically.
Because.
Megan suddenly changed her itinerary and arrived at the Skeleton Wasteland ahead of time!
