Chapter 85: The Great Cemetery, Intelligence Countermeasures Begin
"E-Rantel" has three city walls, and about 1/4 of the outermost wall occupies most of the western area.
It is the cemetery of the entire E-Rantel.
As a frontline fortress, the war between the Kingdom of Re-Yestije and the Bahas Empire every year causes a large number of casualties.
Even up to now, there are many rumors about the birth of the undead, but none of them can be confirmed. No one really knows how the undead were born.
But there is one thing that most people agree on, and that is that there is a chance that the immortal will be born in the place where the dead die.
Among them, those who died an unnatural death or had no one to mourn them have a greater chance of reincarnating as immortals.
Therefore, whether it is an empire or a kingdom.
The two cities came to an agreement during the war to solemnly mourn their dead, and this huge cemetery was established for this purpose.
In the dark night,
A dark shadow was approaching the cemetery slowly but quickly.
The closer you get to the cemetery, the quieter the air becomes. There are few people coming here even during the day, let alone at night.
Far away.
Tang Zheng saw a circle of walls, about four meters high, which was the boundary separating the cemetery from the outside world.
Raise your head slightly.
On the left side of Tang Zheng's nose, there is a monocle. This is the magic prop he bought, which has the ability of "night vision".
So even in the dim night at this moment, Tang Zheng could still see the things around him clearly.
This tall and solid wall in the distance is obviously not intended to protect the cemetery, but to prevent the undead born in the cemetery from entering the outside world.
As we get closer.
Two observation towers emitting soft light appeared in the darkness, and in the middle was a tightly closed heavy door.
Obviously.
At this time, the entrance to the cemetery has been closed, and there are patrolling guards on the two watchtowers.
Not only guards, but also a team of adventurers are stationed there.
This is an arrangement made by the Adventurer's Guild in cooperation with the mayor of the city. It will be rotated every once in a while in order to deal with the undead born in the cemetery.
"It seems that we need to enter from another place." Tang Zheng paused and walked along the wall away from the observation tower.
soon.
Tang Zheng stopped under a wall more than four meters high and looked at the smooth surface of the wall with an unchanged expression.
A wall of this height would have no problem stopping ordinary undead, but for Tang Zheng, it was not an obstacle at all.
Bend your legs and press hard on the ground
Tang Zheng easily jumped to a height of about three meters. He flipped his palm and a mithril dagger appeared in his palm. He stabbed it into the wall and fixed it on it.
Immediately following.
He exerted force with his wrist and his figure rose again. When the sole of his foot was level with the dagger stuck in the wall, he tiptoed and the dagger flew up and fell back into his hand.
In the blink of an eye.
Tang Zheng landed lightly on the wall, then turned over and entered the cemetery.
The first thing that catches your eye is the large number of tombstones and the dead trees rustling in the wind.
In the area of each tombstone, you can see a wooden house-shaped building that is less than one meter high.
At this moment in the night, the shadows stretched out, giving people an invisible sense of fear and oppression! Facing such a gloomy scene, Tang Zheng had no expression.
There were no such things as ghosts in the world of the previous life, but some people were still afraid of them. In addition to the psychological effect, it is actually a fear of unknown things.
And this world! Yes, there are ghosts, or more accurately, spirits!
How to deal with ghosts?
Tang Zheng's mouth curled slightly, and he walked towards the depths of the cemetery: "Just kill him."
With gradual deepening.
The number of tombstones and dead trees gradually increased.
Tang Zheng was observing the surrounding environment while recalling the details in his mind.
If he remembered correctly, Khajiit should be hiding in an underground temple deep in the cemetery. When the story begins, he has been lurking in the "Ye-Rantel" cemetery for five years.
It is to collect negative energy.
According to the current time, Khajiit should have only been in hiding for about a year.
A place like a cemetery is a home advantage for necromancy magic casters like Khajiit, especially in the dark environment like now.
But daytime is obviously not suitable for action.
Those guards and stationed adventurer teams will patrol during the day, and once any movement occurs in the cemetery, they will rush over at the first opportunity.
And the night environment.
As long as there is no large-scale undead attacking the wall, even if something happens in the cemetery, neither the guards nor the adventurer team will rush in, but wait until daytime to deal with it.
If there is an advantage for Khajiit, it is the venue advantage.
So.
In Tang Zheng's view, his advantage is intelligence.
Among Khajiit's many methods, the one that Tang Zheng cares about most and needs to take seriously is the Bone Dragon.
Although this monster is only Level 16, it has the ability to be immune to magic below Level 6, which is a disaster for magic casters in this world.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The attacks from the Fire Archangel that contain fire and divine attributes will also be offset by this characteristic.
In addition, due to the advantage created by its huge size, even though the bone dragon is of a lower level, it possesses power far beyond that level.
This is a rather troublesome kind of undead.
actually.
Considering that it took Khajiit five years to gather enough negative energy to summon two bone dragons, Khajiit should not be able to summon bone dragons now.
But the necessary countermeasures still need to be taken, nothing in the world is absolute.
Among the ten fire archangels that Tang Zheng prepared, two of them were for dealing with bone dragons. They didn't aim to destroy them, but just to hold them back.
The depths of the cemetery have become quiet.
From time to time, bright lights like will-o'-the-wisp flashed through the surrounding dead woods.
About a hundred meters away.
A three-meter-high, spire-shaped temple supported by thick stone pillars appeared in the field of vision. It looked very dilapidated, badly damaged, and empty.
Look at the extent of the damage.
This temple must have existed for a very long time.
Tang Zheng also stopped at this time, turned his head slightly, and looked around.
Under the dim moonlight, in the shade of the dead trees, a faint figure was approaching in this direction!
At the same time, in the silent environment, sounds began to rise one after another, like the roars of wild beasts.
A rotten, fetid smell suddenly filled the air.
Facing the undead zombies that are gradually approaching here.
Tang Zheng flipped his wrist, and a second-level magic scroll appeared in his palm, which he squeezed hard.
Swish! A holy light flashed in the darkness, and in an instant, it condensed into a guardian angel.
Also at this moment.
The undead, who were originally approaching here slowly, suddenly sped up their movements. Intensive footsteps were heard, and even their roars became much louder.
Bang! A male undead zombie smashed the dead wood and appeared in front of the left. With the help of Tang Zheng's "night vision" monocle, he could even see the maggots wriggling inside the rotten body.
"Go, lead all the undead away from this area."
Tang Zheng gave orders to the guardian angel with an expressionless face.
Wow! The guardian angel flapped its bright yellow wings and flew into the distance.
Following the guardian angel's actions, a large number of undead that were originally approaching this direction changed direction at the same time.
If you say.
If the breath of the living is like fragrant fat to the undead, then the sacred breath of the angel is like a torch in the dark night in the eyes of the undead! Tang Zheng saw that the temple a hundred meters away had no intention of approaching, so he stood there and waited quietly.
About seven or eight minutes.
All the undead in this area have been led away by the guardian angel.
"Step two."
Tang Zheng smiled slightly, flipped his hands, and a magic scroll of "Level 2 Angel Summoning" appeared in each of them.
