Chapter 36 The Battle of the Quarry (Part 2)
"Rumble rumble—!"
The blue sword energy was like a goshawk spreading its wings forward, engulfing everything along the way into the violent wind and waves. Before those skeleton soldiers could raise their swords, they saw the green eagle spread its wings from above their heads. However, the following wind and waves roared and swept them into it, took these bone racks and flew backwards like driftwood, and then slammed into the stalactite wall next to them and broke the racks.
"let's go!"
"Yes………"
Looking at the high-spirited Shi Dong in front of him, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly, and then walked into the depths of the tunnel. Frankly speaking, he is still very envious of Shi Dong's swordsmanship. The strength of this great knight is indeed not bad, especially the means of AOE is superb. Although Fangzheng himself also had the Royal Cross Swordsmanship, which was passed down from Arthas, and its power was not much worse than that of Stone's Storm Sword, he always felt a little awkward. I don't know why, this feeling became stronger after he passed the training of the free copy of Dark Soul. Originally, Fangzheng thought that his feeling of this swordsmanship was caused by his unfamiliarity with the sword itself, but after passing through the dark soul that After the brutal training, Fang Zheng found that instead of weakening, this feeling became stronger.
Especially looking at Shi Dong's battle right now, the sword technique of Storm Sword is so smooth in his hands, it's like a dance that is pleasing to the eye. But when Fangzheng used the Royal Cross Swordsmanship himself, he always felt a little... awkward. He couldn't tell what was wrong, but it was just awkward. Especially in such a comparison, that feeling is more obvious. If Stone's swordsmanship looks like a gear that has been lubricated and keeps running, then Fangzheng's swordsmanship is a bit like a gear that is not lubricated -- of course, it can be turned, but how does it turn? Just another question.
After this battle is over, I have to talk to Stone about it.
Fangzheng also knew that now was not the time to talk about this, so he didn't say much, just followed Shi Dong closely. Miss M didn't come down with them. For Shi Dong and Fang Zheng, it was safer for her to stay on top. At the same time, Connie also needed someone to take care of her. Fang Zheng didn't like that crazy woman, so she just handed it over to the soft girl. to deal with.
Now it is Shi Dong who is even more troublesome for Fangzheng. This great knight's technique is as simple and rude as Fangzheng thought. At this moment, Fangzheng hadn't had time to make a move, and the skeleton racks that had been rushed by the wind were basically torn down into bones and scum by Shi Dong.
Fang Zheng just shrugged helplessly and didn't say much. He is not a fool for two generations. Of course, it can be seen that Stone is taking the opportunity to vent. Obviously, he also knows very well that Marter and others are going to return this time. Fangzheng is not very sure about Stone and Marter. What is the relationship between them, but at least it can be seen that their relationship should be good, otherwise Stone would not come here to find them. But now, it must be uncomfortable for Shi Dong to watch his colleagues die.
But as a mature knight, of course, Stone would not say "everyone will die together" like a fledgling boy. He can only use this method to vent his depression and unhappiness.
It is precisely because of this that Fangzheng wisely did not choose to mention his swordsmanship to Shi Dong at this time. It is estimated that even if Shi Dong has a good temper, he will not be in the mood to solve his doubts at this moment, let alone get along with Shi Dong for so long. , Fang Zheng has long understood that the temper of this great knight is not very good.
The resistance of the undead had no effect in front of Stone, and the undead soldiers who ran in a hurry were beaten to pieces by Stone before they even had time to show their strength. As a result, they didn't appear anymore after doing this three times. I don't know if they were scared by Stone's beating, or the lich was no longer in the mood to care about these uninvited guests.
If it's the latter, that's not a good thing.
Stone and Fangzheng quickened their pace. Although the quarry had been abandoned, luckily the tunnel looked solid, so they didn't have to worry about whether the top of their heads would suddenly collapse. The faces of the two became more gloomy, not only because the deeper they went, the stronger the breath of death, but also because until now, the lich had not made any movement.
Obviously, the plan doesn't seem to be going so well.
"there!"
When the two turned around a bend in the tunnel, they immediately saw a large void not far away. But when he saw the scene inside clearly, Shi Dong's complexion suddenly sank. Even Fang Zheng frowned at this moment.
I saw that in the center of the big hole, more than a dozen corpses were lying on the ground. They were wearing the armor of the Templars, but their appearance was unbearable to look at—the muscles of these people seemed to have completely melted. The rest of the skin was wrapped around the bone, and it looked terrifying. And under them, the blood flowing slowly is so clear, even a little dazzling.
Fangzheng didn't know what they had gone through, but it could be seen from the expressions on their faces after they died that it must have been a very painful experience.
"You bastard!!"
Looking at the lich floating in the center of the hollow, Stone roared, and then he raised the great sword in his hand and slashed forward. Following Stone's movements, the goshawk reappeared, but this time it was almost twice as big as before. With a sharp chirping sound, the huge bird condensed by the airflow flapped its wings with an afterimage. Quickly pounced on the lich in the air. In the face of Stone's full-strength sword, the figure suspended in the air just turned his head and raised a staff that looked like a dry branch in his hand and tapped it slightly.
The next moment, Fangzheng saw a black beam of light shoot out from the staff and hit the body of the storm eagle, and then an unimaginable scene happened - that was condensed by the power of the star spirit, completely formed by the power of the star spirit. The goshawk composed of the wind element actually began to struggle like a living creature, screaming, it flapped its wings weakly, and then fell to the ground, silently turning into dust. And Stone's own situation was not very good. When the light beam hit the goshawk, his complexion suddenly changed. At that moment, he could feel a big cold hand as if reaching into his body. hold his heart.
But fortunately, his strong physique resisted the blow, otherwise, it would not be just his goshawk who fell now. Even so, Shi Dong's complexion changed, he gritted his teeth, and then he resisted the force of death that penetrated into his body and persevered.
But for Stone, there is one more thing that scares him more than this. The opponent can actually grab his Storm Sword and kill him directly. This situation can only occur in one situation, that is, the power level of the opponent is much higher than that of Shi Dong, so the strength of the two sides is much higher than that of Shi Dong. In a duel, the one with a higher level of power will show an overwhelming advantage and take the form of the law of power that he has mastered. And this lich can actually "kill" his own swordsmanship power. In Stone's memory, only one person can do this kind of power!
"This is the power of the field of death... You are the Duke of Bones Frank of the Council of the Dead? It's actually you?!"
I rely on!
Fang Zheng was also shocked when he heard Shi Dong's question. During the time he was with Shi Dong in the temple, he did not only train swordsmanship. Naturally, he also had some understanding of the enemies of the Temple of Order. There are three major enemies in the temple at the moment. One of them is the Church of the Doomsday to which Fang Zheng's original body belongs. The remaining two are the Council of the Dead and the Twilight Legion. The Twilight Legion is located on the border of civilization. Their goal is to completely smash everything. A symbol of order and civilization. The pursuit of the Council of All Deaths is more "higher". They believe that the meaning of all life in this world lies in death, so death in this world is an eternal theme, and both chaos and order will be attributed to the silence of death.
Frankly speaking, if the Legion of Twilight and the Church of the Doomsday have a common goal to join forces, then the Council of the Dead is almost the enemy of everyone on both sides of Chaos and Order. After all, people don't care whether you are in order or chaos, they just want to pull you to feel the "true meaning of death", which is certainly not sensitive whether it is a paladin or a cult.
Not to mention that the doctrine of the Council of the Dead is too hated by people. While they preached that "the goddess of order will eventually fall", they turned their heads and said "the end of the twilight chaos is coming"... It's a matter of offending both parties.
What's more terrible is that this organization is full of undead creatures, and all the undead creatures on the entire continent are concentrated here, not to mention the lich, some ghosts such as bone dragons and even death messengers are also among them. This is also the reason why in this world both Order and Chaos hate this Council of Death, but they dare not take action against them - it is because the other party is too powerful, and if one fails, they will take themselves in. .
Not only that, but the most feared thing about the Council of the Dead is that they are very good at "persuading and educating". There have been many famous heroes in history who tried to eliminate these undead madmen living in the shadows, but it is a pity that their There was no difference in the ending - they set off in high spirits, then lost the news, and then when they reappeared in front of everyone, they had become undead slaves.
Frank, Duke of Bones, is one of the five councillors of the Council of Ten Thousand Deaths. He is in charge of the field of death, and his status is second only to the president of the Council of Ten Thousand Deaths. Although Stone also guessed that this lich might be difficult to deal with, he did not expect it to be such a difficult character.
Here's to trouble!
Looking at the figure of the lich floating in front of him, Fang Zheng frowned.
He can be sure that Stone's previous plan will definitely not work.
