Chapter 117: Fighting Magic
Overnight, the temperature dropped by thirty degrees. The clear sky yesterday was now covered by gray clouds.
The howling cold wind was like thousands of knives, stabbing and stabbing at the bones of anyone who dared to show their head.
Then there was a heavy snowstorm that lasted for three days and three nights, and the snow on the ground was more than two meters thick.
Of course, the snow in the village was cleared away in a timely manner, including the snow on the roofs, which was cleared every few hours.
Thanks to the fact that they are all level 5 houses, they are extremely sturdy and have excellent cold-proof properties. There is also enough firewood stored in the summer and autumn seasons, so every small family in every house is warm and cozy.
But this is not enough, because of the possible appearance of ice ghosts and ghosts, all the soldiers and heroes in the village have been on high alert since the beginning of winter.
Zhang Yang is no exception. In a 24-hour day, he has to lead the team on patrol for ten hours. If there is any sign of trouble, he will appear immediately.
Fortunately, no signs of evil spirit invasion have been found so far.
But the dark clouds above our heads were growing thicker and heavier, and even though the blizzard had stopped, there was no sign of clearing up.
If what I expected was correct, this was not an ordinary cloud at all, but a gathering of negative energy.
When this negative energy gathers too much, icy rain will fall, and this icy rain is the ghost crystal.
Enough ghost crystals will attract a large number of evil spirits, among which there may be ghost assassins and ghost ladies, thus forming a vicious cycle until a village is completely destroyed.
"Village leader, should we also dig a cave and hide the villagers, the elderly, the weak, the women and the children who have no fighting ability in it?"
During the patrol, Wang Shen suggested again that due to his status as an elite population, he was better than Wu Yuan in handling village affairs, so in theory he had become the deputy village chief.
"No, this matter cannot be discussed. You can avoid it temporarily, but you can't avoid it forever. Wang Shen, you must remember that although solving a problem is ten thousand times more painful than avoiding it, it determines everything from small things to big things like everyone's life, and even the fate of an ethnic group or a civilization. You don't even have the most correct attitude, and you don't even have the determination to take risks and endure hardships. How can you talk about becoming strong and rising?"
Zhang Yang said this very seriously. To a certain extent, he was training Wang Shen as his successor 1.5.
Because he knew very well that in his short twenty years of management, he could not ensure that everything was arranged properly. He had to cultivate an elite population and a leadership, that is, the aristocratic class.
Don't blame him for taking a wrong path; it is really the environment that determines everything.
He has even decided that he will only be responsible for the first ten years of the village's development. Ten years later, it will enter the Successor 1.5 era, which he will supervise. Fifteen years later, it will enter the Successor 2.0 era.
Therefore, some things, some ideas and opinions that promote himself, as well as a spiritual heritage that he believes to be correct, must be imprinted deep in everyone's soul, and this tradition must be established starting from when they were young.
So when winter came, Zhang Yang went against the majority's opinion and not only did he not order the digging of caves for the villagers, the elderly, the weak, women and children to hide in, he also ordered that all activities in winter be carried out as normal.
People are bound to die, and fear is bound to occur.
But if we don’t learn to face this fear and death sooner, what will happen in the future? Winter comes every year, and dangers emerge every year.
The weak can only be eliminated, and the strong will be left behind.
"Report! Lord, traces of evil spirits were found in the northern section, and someone was injured."
At this time, a soldier came running over and Zhang Yang rushed over.
In order to better coordinate and manage, he divided the entire village's wall defense patrol area into five areas.
They are North District, East District, South District, West District and Central District.
Except for the central area, each area is divided into three sections, namely North District Section 1, North District Section 2, and North District Section 3.
Among them, Wu Yuan is responsible for the North District, Lei En is responsible for the West District, Wang Mumu is responsible for the East District, Wang Shen is responsible for the South District, Liu Dali is responsible for the Central District, and Zhang Yang is responsible for mobile inspections himself.
A moment later, Zhang Yang rushed to the northern section. The person in charge here was Xiao Yang, a Storm Swordsman with strength comparable to that of a one-star hero. He was from the same period as Wang Shen. Together with the other two Storm Swordsmen, they were called the Three Friends of the Jian Sect by Song Dachui, who was good at giving nicknames.
At this moment, Wu Yuan had already arrived. The scene was in order, except that the injured person was not in good condition. He looked like he was frozen.
"Has anyone else seen the evil spirit?"
Zhang Yang asked quickly while squatting down. His soul force field instantly intervened in the injured soldier's body. In a moment, the soldier's pale blue face finally turned rosy.
A dark green mist appeared in Zhang Yang's hand.
"No one saw it. Affected by the snow, the evil spirit only flashed by for a moment and then disappeared without a trace. There was no trace left at the scene. This seems to be different from what Wu Yu said."
Wu Yuan frowned.
"No, Wu Yu described a fierce ghost, and the one that appeared just now was the Ice Ghost Assassin."
Zhang Yang said calmly, while asking someone to help the surviving soldier away, he picked up the long sword that seemed to have not changed at all.
"Why do you think so?" Wu Yuan asked.
"The soldier just now was a captain-level soldier, a sword and shield soldier. He had a keen sense of combat and murderous intent, so when the Ice Ghost Assassin attacked, he was still able to quickly draw his sword and slash. Although he missed, this was still one of the reasons why he was able to escape."
"Another reason is that this evil-killing long sword was specially enchanted and nurtured by me with my magic power. You can't see it, but I can sense that the evil-killing attribute inside it is already shaky. If it happens again, the evil-killing attribute will dissipate."
"If the attacker is really an ice ghost, there is no reason why he can be so powerful."
After hearing Zhang Yang's analysis, Wu Yuan, Xiao Yang and others looked at each other in bewilderment. Winter had just begun, so how could a ghost assassin appear two months later? After all, the ghost assassin and the ghost lady were upgraded from fierce ghosts, not directly from the abyss ghost clan.
"There is another possibility. Someone released this ghost assassin."
"My Lord, you mean the orc lord?"
"That's right. In the previous battle, the Orc Lord suffered heavy losses, but the ghost soldiers under his command were not damaged at all. As far as I know, the Orc Lord has at least one ghost lady under his command. Remember the greedy peeping I mentioned? Apart from the ghost lady, what else dares to spy on us so boldly? In addition, the Orc Lord has at least two ghost priests, four ghost assassins, and no less than 50 village ghosts."
"Although the orc lord can continue to build the village, firstly, he will definitely not build it next to us. Secondly, winter is coming soon. He is not strong enough to suppress the ghost lady and the ghost assassin. So what would you do if it were you?"
"Of course we should release the Ghost Lady and the Ghost Assassin and let them roam around this area. Once winter comes, our village will be the first to be hit. This is a good thing that will kill three birds with one stone. The Orc Lord will definitely do this."
After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he looked up at the dark clouds in the sky that were getting darker.
"That ghost lady must be hiding near our village, and she is madly absorbing Yin energy. After all, this heavy snow came too suddenly. I once asked Wu Yu in detail about the weather changes in this area in the past five years, but there has never been a situation where the temperature drops by more than 30 degrees as soon as winter comes, and there has been a heavy snowstorm for three consecutive days and three nights."
"So I think this must be related to the ghost lady. With the blessing of Yin energy, it naturally has enough power to control the weather."
"My Lord, if that's the case, shouldn't we take a step ahead and find that ghost lady and destroy her, instead of letting her continue to devour the Yin energy and become stronger?"
Xiao Yang asked at this time.
Zhang Yang nodded.
"Yes, this is the only way. If the Ghost Lady breaks through to become a Ghost King, our entire village will become her snack, so we must find her. However, ordinary searches will have no effect on the Ghost Lady. We have to find another way."
"Wu Yuan, tell everyone to pile up a hundred piles of firewood for me on the training ground. I want to fight this ghost lady!"
The idea of fighting was not something Zhang Yang came up with on a whim, but he had had this idea for a long time. He even expected that the orc lord would release the ghost lady, ghost assassin, ghost priest and so on.
This was not due to his brilliant calculations, because no matter who it was, they probably would not believe that the orc lord who suffered heavy losses could escape in such a disgrace.
If you really ignore this point, then you deserve to die.
Of course, Zhang Yang himself had no idea about the specific effect of the fight, but his biggest advantage now was that he was fully prepared and had tight defense. A total of more than 200 captain-level soldiers were all equipped with evil-killing long swords, so even if the ghost assassin came, he would not be able to gain any advantage.
Therefore, as long as he keeps testing, analyzing, and cracking, he may find a way to restrain the ghost lady.
Soon, the training ground was filled with firewood. The reserve of firewood was very, very sufficient. At least Zhang Yang's village construction order contained 560,000 units of firewood, all of which were looted and never touched.
Everything is for this moment.
As the saying goes, if there is no magic power, then create it.
All roads lead to Fireball, and there is bound to be one that suits you.
He asked everyone else to step back, and Zhang Yang stood in the training ground with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, as if he was ready to fight against the endless dark clouds in the sky.
But the next second, he flipped his palm, and a ghost crystal cut into the size of a grain of rice appeared.
"Well, I don't have enough experience and everything is unknown. Just in case, it's better to do a test first."
