The dozen or so mummies looked similar to those in the movie, the only difference being that the bandages on their heads had come off, revealing their rotting faces, with dark green slime constantly dripping from their faces, making them look quite appetizing.
With Liu Nian's current strength, the Terror Knight alone could crush them.
But how can you use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
Liu Nian still chose the strategy of dividing and surrounding, to test the amplification ability of the Domination Aura.
The skeleton warriors never dreamed that they would be part of the vanguard, forming a neat square formation to meet the enemy.
The mummies on the opposite side, forming a loose, long line, were sparsely rushing towards Liu Nian.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides began to engage in battle. Just as the skeleton warriors behind were preparing to flank from both sides, the system's voice came to Liu Nian's mind again.
[Special Event: Followers]
[The twelve mummies admire your leadership and hope to follow you!]
[Agree/Disagree]
"agree."
Why would anyone refuse a freebie? Only a fool would refuse!
Liu Nian decisively agreed.
After walking together for a while, Liu Nian discovered that the mummy also had short legs, but it was taller than a zombie and shorter than a skeleton warrior.
Short legs are a sore point for the entire undead faction; it's not their fault.
With new troops joining him, new equipment, and new skills he learned, he was in a good mood!
However, Liu Nian had a feeling that either his talent for dark affinity was at work, or his world reputation was at work.
Otherwise, this result would be inexplicable. As for the vague and ethereal explanation of hidden charm, Liu Nian would not believe it.
After the battle with the orcs, Liu Nian is still 100,000 experience points short of reaching level 30.
The portal to the Greenskins has been closed, making it impossible to fight them again. The remaining experience points can only be obtained from the Night Stalkers and the monster siege of B City.
It looks like it'll be another all-nighter. Liu Nian touched the bulge on his waist; that was his confidence for fighting at night.
With it, he is no longer afraid of nighttime visibility issues.
It is a simple staff, made of living wood, with two yellow gemstones inlaid at the top, which is actually just tied with a rope.
Don't let its rough appearance fool you; the results are amazing.
The staff can consume durability to summon a star. The location of the star is chosen by the staff's wielder, and the star lasts for up to four hours in the real world after a successful summoning.
After testing, the stars were found to provide both lighting and heating effects. Liu Nian even tried using the stars' temperature to cook food.
"What a magical staff!" Liu Nian looked at the gradually darkening environment outside and touched the staff again.
With that in mind, Liu Nian decided not to go home and planned to go to the outskirts of B City to gain some experience points; after all, every little bit helps.
At that moment, he had no idea that the unrest in City B was so severe that many places had fallen.
Along the way, they encountered sporadic attacks from groups of monsters. These monsters might pose a threat to the people in the slums, but against Liu Nian, they were just like food deliveries.
These monsters were all creatures that Liu Nian had never seen before. They were crushed by his summoned creatures before they could even reach Liu Nian, at most adding some fun to Liu Nian's tedious journey.
As you walk further ahead, you can already see the edge of the slum buildings.
The further you go, the stronger the smell of blood becomes.
The slums were deserted, with bloodstains and human remains scattered everywhere, including limbs and occasionally cannibalistic remains.
I never imagined it would be this bad. Wasn't this supposed to be a monster siege?
I experienced it once before but didn't realize how serious it was.
Occasionally, flames would rise from buildings in the distance, accompanied by thick smoke.
Liu Nian was slightly stunned when he saw the tragic scene. The smile on his face had long since disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.
Liu Nian, who usually paid no attention to the people struggling to make ends meet, abided by the jungle law of the apocalypse until they lost their lives and lay on the cold ground. Only then did he realize that these people were also his compatriots.
With great power comes great responsibility!
Someone once said this, and Liu Nian scoffed at the time, saying that he didn't care to be some kind of savior.
He was deeply shocked when he saw this scene of hell on earth, and an idea began to sprout in his mind.
Those who have never experienced war will never know the value of peace.
"Don't waste any more time. There are still people who need help." Looking at the monsters not far away, Liu Nian thought that if he could deal with more monsters, the other survivors would have a better chance of survival.
A star was summoned using the Star Summoning Staff. It responded to Liu Nian's call and hung quietly in mid-air, instantly illuminating the dark streets around it.
He directed the raven to search for the monsters, intending to lure them away from the vicinity.
Big Black took the order and flew away with his companions in all directions, chattering incessantly along the way.
The raven's cries sounded particularly jarring in the quiet night. As expected, the monsters in the distance were attracted by the cries and, sensing the presence of living people, crawled towards Liu Nian from all the streets.
From above, all sorts of monsters surged in from all directions, creating a spectacular scene.
Liu Nian had already summoned the undead army, and his blood was boiling, desperately needing to be extinguished.
He was in an open space surrounded by passageways. As the demons surged toward him, Liu Nian smiled, but to outsiders, the smile appeared exceptionally cold.
Soon the monsters clashed with the undead army. Liu Nian's vanguard consisted of skeleton warriors responsible for the streets ahead, while the rear was guarded by a ghoul legion, with a mixed force of evil spirits on the left flank and black warriors on the right.
The central army is a group of ranged professionals led by Liu Nian and Tiffany.
The Dread Knight, Vampire, and Wraith are in the center, awaiting command.
The streets in all four directions were guarded by the undead, and under the starlight, Liu Nian officially joined the battle.
...
City Lord's Mansion of City B.
A large number of monster corpses lay outside the gate, and the guards stationed there relied on the gate to repel the monsters' attacks multiple times.
I don't know if they have some kind of intellectual problem, but they can't climb over the wall. The wall of the city lord's mansion is only one and a half people high. You could just stack up a human pyramid and climb over it.
The guards have rotated several times, and most of them are now panting heavily, having long since used up their allocated stamina potions.
The once tidy courtyard behind me is now a mess, with the precious flowers and plants on the grass crushed and trampled by messy footsteps.
No one paid any attention to these things. Countless tents were set up in the courtyard, and some wounded and sick soldiers were lying in the makeshift tents waiting for treatment.
With a shortage of manpower, doctors, some servants, and even the city lord's family members were asked to lend a hand, and the sounds of patients groaning in pain could be heard everywhere.
Several waves of messengers went out, but none of them could break through the monsters' defenses. After the vehicles were smashed by the monsters, they were all torn to pieces.
According to reliable sources, the police station has also just been captured by monsters, and it is now the only place in the city that has not fallen and is still struggling.
The situation is dire; this is a shadow looming over everyone.
