Chapter 126 Taboo of Undead Magic
On the day when the army of the Human Central Empire officially arrived at the Ice and Snow Kingdom, the sky was filled with dark clouds, as if there would be a downpour of rain, and in the thick clouds, there was a faint flash of lightning.
The movements of the Central Empire Corps did not need too much observation. This corps did not hide its own tracks and rushed here openly all the way.
"Oh~ What an exaggerated battle!"
The dark corps seemed to have no end in sight, which was more frightening than the dark sky at the moment.
"Even if they were all placed there for me to chop, I would have to chop for a while, not to mention that these things would fight back..." Elf stood on the top of the city, looking at the dark corps, and couldn't help but sigh, "The Ice and Snow Kingdom has only a few cities in total, and basically there is no room for pulling. If you let go a little more, the other party will go directly to your base camp."
The smallness of the land under his feet made it impossible to make a decision to trade space for time, and he could only compete head-on with the Human Central Empire.
"So, are you sure you don't want to take prisoners? The Ice and Snow Kingdom can still take out tens of thousands of troops, right?"
The crow in the palm of his hand gave a "kind" opinion: "You took down the Ice and Snow Kingdom in a way similar to blitzkrieg. Thanks to this, many things here have not been damaged. There are many things you can use, right? It's a pretty good choice to use the Ice and Snow Kingdom's own troops to fill the line?"
"If I'm not afraid that the legion will mutiny... Since I have conquered this country and become the king of this country, I must look at everything this country has with the mentality of a true king. I can borrow the power of these troops, but I can't treat them as cannon fodder. If I sacrifice them casually, I will only be abandoned by my own troops."
"What's the impact~ Anyway, we can't win. If it were me, my suggestion is to give up this kingdom directly, and then consume the kingdom's manpower. After the Central Human Empire withdraws its troops, you can come and fight again-after repeating it several times, the Central Human Empire should also send troops, unless they directly build a war fortress here."
This suggestion is not very good.
If you just want to occupy such a territory, it should be possible. But this is not good for ruling at all, it is consuming the potential of the Ice and Snow Kingdom. At least Elf is unwilling to do such a thing. Her purpose of attacking this kingdom is not simply to find a place to settle down.
Under normal circumstances, when two legions are going to fight, they will send envoys to each other for the final communication.
However, the Human Central Empire obviously did not have such an idea. When the king came to the city, the brilliance of magic was already flickering in the legion. The magicians in the legion jointly released some kind of magic that could be linked together, and the bright and dazzling light instantly hit like waves.
The pattern of magic appeared on the wall, resisting the opponent's attack.
"The Thunder Emperor is really arrogant~ He is unwilling to talk first, and he directly takes action. This is really more irritable than I thought." Elf couldn't help but sigh. The atmosphere of the Human Central Empire is indeed terrifying. They don't need to explain to anyone. They take action with the purpose of direct destruction.
"So what's your trump card? The magic circles you used were given by the Magicians' Guild, right? This can't stop the Human Central Empire." Crow looked at the magic circle that lit up, "These things can only buy you some time at most."
"It's good enough to delay the time."
Elf looked up at the sky: "Thunder Emperor, three magicians at the level of great element mentors, two warriors who have almost reached the holy level but don't have a holy name, isn't this lineup too luxurious?"
"Aren't you also a holy life form?"
"But I don't have a holy name."
A holy name is something that is difficult to obtain, and it is usually related to a person's background. For example, Elf is a person who is difficult to obtain a holy name. Of course, she didn't care much about it. Relatively speaking, her expression now is more speechless.
"I really want to know, among all the snow elves, I am the only one who has reached this level. Even if I am considered a saint, there are three people with similar combat power to me, and three who are only one level lower than me. I don't really understand how to play this game. Miss Demon King, do you have any advice?"
"You ask me? I'm just a crow~"
As she said this, she also "quacked" twice.
This person is completely unreliable. What on earth is she doing here? If the Demon King doesn't want to intervene, Elf doesn't believe it, but looking at this, she doesn't know how she plans to make a move. In the end, she can only rely on herself.
She saw that the troops outside the city had begun to bombard in turns.
A round of magic, a round of volleys of bows and arrows from the warriors, and a round of bombing with alchemical props.
Then they began to cycle back and forth in this rhythm, as if magic, bows and arrows, and alchemical props were free. There was no real rain in the sky, but these things were much more frightening than raindrops when they fell.
They couldn't hold on for long.
"You are the Demon King, you should know that there is a group in this world."
"What?"
"Forbidden magic researchers."
The crow was stunned for a moment, and a weird smile appeared on its face: "Haha~ Hahaha~"
"What are you laughing at?"
"No~Haha~Sorry, I couldn't restrain myself for a moment~" The crow was not very polite, "You know what? Every time I hear humans talking about taboos, I find it funny. There is no such thing as taboo in the field of magic
. It's just that your research is not deep enough, your understanding is not sufficient, and you are afraid of the unknown, so you describe it as taboo." Seeing the smile of the crow in front of her, Elf felt a little understanding. After all... she can't use magic. She was thinking before, for people who can't use magic, does all magic mean taboo? No matter what kind of magic it is, it seems so magical and special to her. There is really no way to distinguish the so-called taboo magic from ordinary magic.
But the Demon King said, "She finds it funny when humans talk about taboos."
Although she doesn't understand magic, Elf suddenly finds it funny.
"You may not admit it, but the magicians' unions recognize the magic related to taboos."
Although Moher said it was "funny". But she actually knows what the so-called taboo magic is.
Simply put, "orthodox" magic, those safe ones that can go all the way to the holy level magic - are monopolized by the nobles among humans. Usually, you can only have the qualifications to learn those magics if you join the army, fight to the death and make meritorious deeds, and achieve class crossing. But not to mention the risks of doing so, even if you join the army, you may not have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
Of course, there are some more unconventional methods, such as going to some nobles, which may be favored by others. This is undoubtedly a very low success rate.
But there is no shortage of excellent talents in this world, nor is there a shortage of evil things. There
are always people who can take different paths.
Among the powers symbolized by the devil, there is a "dead soul".
In the past, there was a very terrifying legion of undead in the devil's army. Those are the existences that swore allegiance to the devil. After death, they gave their souls to the devil. Once put the brave and his party into a difficult battle - of course, someone copied this school.
Regarding the magic of the undead, there are two very basic magics, one is soul extraction and the other is soul giving.
Extracting souls and giving souls.
Derived from these two basic magics is also "Undead Control".
These three constitute the most fundamental system of Undead Magic.
And the level of these three magics is actually very low.
Most people can learn them.
Even if you can't learn them, as long as you know that there is such a thing and study it patiently, it is not impossible to make similar magic.
Relying on this foundation, Undead Magic shows differences from other magics.
Some magicians found that
it seemed unnecessary to learn more advanced Undead Magic! Isn't it okay for me to keep increasing the number of Undead?
Unlike other magics, similar to Fireball, if you want to release two at the same time, you need to consume the magic of two Fireballs. After you control the Undead, Undead Magic only needs to pay very little manipulation magic, and the magic consumed in the process of controlling the Undead can be slowly restored. So, this is a school that is very suitable for "accumulating strength".
So, not long after the death of the Demon King, there was actually a vigorous "tomb-robbing movement".
This movement was quickly extinguished because of its very bad influence. After all, the means of obtaining the undead include finding the dead and directly creating the dead.
It is a very bad thing for the stability of the world.
So the wise king immediately reached an agreement with the rulers of the major races to list the undead magic as "forbidden magic". Anyone who practices it must be dealt with seriously. Although only more than ten years have passed, the concept of taboo has been deeply rooted in people's minds. Undead magic is such a thing.
And now.
From under the ground, countless white bones stretched out their palms, grabbed the ankles of the soldiers of the human Central Empire, and pulled them to the ground, causing chaos.
"Large-scale undead magic, the hand of the dead's attachment?"
Crow looked at the battlefield in confusion: "Adriana protected those hunted undead magicians... or kept them in captivity, and taught them my original undead magic?"
She already knew a lot.
"What are you talking about? I don't know. I was surrendered to these undead magicians. At this point, I can only rely on their strength. You said Adriana, I don't know."
Elf was playing dumb here.
