Warrengel!

Inside a building in the city, Xue Feibai and others were leaning against the wall to rest.

When the sun rose, An Nuo, looking tired, walked back from the front line with his men and pushed the door open.

"Anno, are you okay?"

Liu Rongrong and Ning Wen immediately began to check An Nuo's injuries.

"I'm fine!"

An Nuo waved his hand and found a chair to sit down.

The noise of An Nuo's return woke up everyone in the room.

In addition to Xue Feibai and others, there are also Sun, Jin Mu, and Yin Mu.

"How's it going up front?"

Seeing An Nuo coming back, Xue Feibai immediately asked.

"The Undead Army has temporarily retreated, and will probably continue their attack at night. The priests suffered heavy losses last night, and we may need to seek help from the Holy Church!"

An Nuo gave a brief account and then lay down on the straw mat in the corner and fell asleep.

Liz and Ella snuggled up to Anno, and soon the steady breathing of the three could be heard.

Sasir fell asleep outside the door.

Yesterday evening, after the remnants of the monster army fled in panic, the Undead Army arrived two kilometers outside the city.

An army of one hundred thousand undead began to attack Warrengel.

Annuo immediately brought his consciousness to Asa, only to find that Asa was in a coma.

After controlling Asa's body and opening his eyes, Annuo saw that he was being held by a pair of huge bony hands, and not far to the side was a dark shadow sitting on a bone throne.

The owner of the giant bony hand and the black shadow seemed to have sensed something was wrong with Asa and turned to look over.

The moment An Nuo was about to look into the soul fire that was flickering in the black shadow's eyes, he felt a great danger.

He quickly regained his consciousness back to his body and called back Asa immediately!

The Lich King and the eighth-level Undead Overlord were left in deep thought.

After regaining consciousness, Anno prepared to check on Asa's condition.

As soon as I summoned it, I found that it turned into white light and slowly dissipated.

Anno's movements were very fast.

But the Lich King's subordinates, the eighth-level Undead Overlords, also have many tricks up their sleeves.

After finding that he could not control Asa, the Overlord of the Undead put Asa into a coma and planned to study it further later to see if he could reversely locate the opponent's 'Lich'.

In addition, the Overlord of the Undead also released skills on Asa.

Even if Annuo recalled Asa from a distance of several kilometers, when his skill was activated, Asa still died!

Annuo felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Asa disappearing into white light while in a coma.

This is Annuo's first fourth-level summoned creature when he entered the intermediate level.

He used to be Tester's subordinate!

"Maybe...I should have let you go earlier!"

Annuo picked up the fine steel sword that he had given to Asa and put it into the storage ring.

At this time, An Nuo, Xue Feibai and others were at the gap in the city wall, ready to resist the undead army.

But what no one expected was that the entire city wall was lost in just three hours.

The reason is that the area near the city wall has been transformed into a high-level cursed land.

Human soldiers were unable to fight on it and had to abandon the city wall and retreat.

High-level cursed land cannot be dispelled in a short period of time even by high-level priests.

What the high-ranking priests in the city did not understand was that transforming the land into a high-level cursed land was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

Ordinary land needs to be transformed into low-level cursed land first, and then it will take a period of time for it to become intermediate level, and then high level!

The undead disaster in the south caused by the lich and the curse on the earth was only a low-level one.

Even if the Lich King is at level eight, he still needs to cooperate with the entire Undead Army and spend ten days or half a month to transform the land within the entire city wall into high-level cursed land.

But this time, it only took three hours to evolve into a high-level cursed land.

Even high-level professionals must spend a lot of energy to resist the black air of the cursed land in the high-level cursed land, and their strength can only be exerted at most 70% to 80%.

As for low-level creatures, if they stand on high-level cursed land, without special means, they will be transformed into zombies in at most tens of seconds!

The Lich King transformed such a large area around the city wall into high-level cursed land in three hours. The defenders on the city wall almost didn't even have time to retreat!

It was also at that time that the high-ranking priests in the city vaguely understood that all this might be related to the Lich King's previous decision to let the monsters attack the city and die.

But there is only one Lich King in the world, and he is the enemy.

No one knows what means it has and how it achieves this.

In fact, the Lich King dispatched scattered monster troops to attack the city continuously. One reason was to consume the power reserves in the city; the other was to accumulate the resentment and souls of the dead creatures.

The monster army is different from the undead army.

The former are the living, while the latter are the undead.

The cursed earth absorbs resentment and souls, and evolves dozens of times faster than absorbing death energy!

Generally, the undead transformed by the Cursed Earth will instinctively kill living creatures to provide "nutrients" for the evolution of the Cursed Earth.

Moreover, the higher the level of the cursed land, the higher the chance that it will breed high-level undead over time.

Warrengel would gather together and burn most of the corpses left behind by the monster troops after each attack.

Although doing so will prevent the corpses from being reused by the Lich King, it will not be able to resolve the resentment formed by the living after their death.

The siege lasted nearly a month, and at least 80,000 monsters died near the city walls.

This does not even include the human toll!

The resentment left by the death of nearly 100,000 lives, plus the souls that did not have time to go to the underworld in the final war.

According to the Lich King's idea, a large area of ​​land can be transformed into high-level cursed land in half an hour.

But when it came to actual implementation, the Lich King discovered that there were very few souls on the battlefield!

Theoretically speaking, the soul will stay for at least an hour before dissipating.

There's no reason for it to be sucked away to the underworld so quickly!

Due to the small number of souls, the transformation time is increased to three hours.

The Lich King put the matter of the missing soul in his heart for the time being and planned to go to the underworld to check the situation later.

The main goal now is to capture Warrengel.

Because of the high-level curse that took shape on the earth, the undead army took the city wall without any hindrance.

Moreover, the undead have bonus strength in the cursed land. When the priest's holy light magic falls into the cursed land, its power is greatly reduced.

The soldiers defending the city did not even dare to retake the city walls and could only retreat into the city.

Without the city walls, and facing a fierce attack from the Undead Legion in the middle of the night, the defenders in the city suffered heavy casualties - the spread of the cursed land was not too fast, and the Undead Legion took the initiative to attack beyond the range of the cursed land.

Especially pastors.

Once the undead spotted the priest on the battlefield, they rushed over madly.

On the battlefield, An Nuo saw several mid-level heavy-armored priests of the Holy Church being besieged and killed by skeletons, zombies, and liches. Only then did he let Xue Feibai and others, who were severely exhausted, retreat with Liu Rongrong and Ning Wen.

The soldiers and adventurers who participated in defending the city during the day almost all retreated to the rear to rest in the second half of the night.

The troops that had not been deployed before were the main force fighting against the Undead Legion in the second half of the night.

Because he mainly relies on summoned creatures to fight, Annuo's own physical energy consumption is not great.

However, Shadow was stabbed to death by a fifth-level skeleton knight with a bone spear!

Fortunately, An Nuo was right next to him and used his storage ring to recover the magic set.

[Toxic Fungus] is useless against the Undead, otherwise Anno can quickly clear out the low-level minions.

With a hundred thousand undead, it is impossible for Annuo to turn the tide alone.

However, every soldier fought to the best of his ability to defend the rear.

There were not many magic recovery potions left, and during the battle in the second half of the night, Annuo basically did not drink any of them.

They all use the fourth-level [Clarity] and [World-Devouring Reincarnation] to slowly recover their magic, and then summon skeletons and zombies to fight for them.

When the reserves of [World Devouring Reincarnation] are gone, just take on some lich's undead magic.

For the entire night, Anno had no idea how many skeletons he had killed or how many zombie souls he had absorbed.

He only knew that he had broken through to the fifth level in the early hours of the morning before the Undead Army retreated!

And after reaching the fifth level, Annuo discovered that the number of his fifth-level souls had exceeded five hundred.

There are more than two hundred pieces of fifth-level sacrificial materials piled up.

The number of summons of [Sacrificial Spirit] increased from eighty to one hundred and sixty!
