Chapter 488 Suffering (Two in One)
After beheading the abyss lord, Lu Chen and Anarius didn't stop at all, because they were faster than the whole team, so they wouldn't hinder the charge of the moon wolves behind them.
The first ring of his talent awakening mission requires killing ten abyss lords, and the difficulty is average.
At present, it seems that it is really ordinary, and it is not an exaggeration to kill the opponent instantly.
When he activated Vajra and Fudo Mingwang for the second time, his physical fitness was already higher than that of the abyss lord, and Anarius under his crotch was not a simple monster.
To put it bluntly, even if he didn't make a move, Anarius would still kill the abyss lord instantly.
He checked the basic attributes of Anarius with his yin and yang spiritual eyes, agility 100 points, constitution 95 points, strength 95 points, spirit 100 points, charisma... 95 points.
This guy is enough to dominate the dragon world, and he is also a peak monster on the Aika continent. It is not difficult to kill an ordinary lord of the abyss.
The only thing that made him feel sad was that he didn't expect Anarius to be so charismatic, even higher than Erika.
Why?Is it comfortable to stroke just by its fur?
Or is it because it is the leader of the moon wolf clan, so it has a charm bonus?
The second charge still pierced through the enemy line, and the hesitant abyss lord was killed by Lu Chen. These abyssal creatures also panicked for a moment, and the casualties were even more serious than the first wave.
But these creatures are not afraid of death at all, even if the lord is killed, they will still attack Lu Chen and the others.
Lu Chen was also curious and confirmed that these ordinary miscellaneous soldiers did not have the passive "immortality", which means that if they die, they are dead. I don't know why they are so cruel, they seem to have no fear.
In the following time, the defenders in Glenn City were basically watching a massacre performance. The [-]-month wolf clan walked through the army of abyssal creatures, like the god of death waving his ice-blue scythe, mercilessly harvesting life.
About 10 minutes later, Gu Lanting chopped off the head of the last abyssal creature on the battlefield, announcing the end of the battle.
The defenders on the city wall looked at the man in the black cloak that was not stained with blood, and they all raised their weapons and shouted.
"Duke Godzilla!"
"Duke Godzilla!"
The voice spread from the top of the city into the city, and it was exaggerated by the emotion of the rest of the catastrophe, and the excited people also shouted in ignorance.
Glenn City erupted into a sky-shattering roar, as if praising the rescue soldiers who fell from the sky, and as if thanking for life.
On the battlefield, except for Lu Chen and Anarius, the other moon wolves and the guards on their backs looked a little embarrassed.
The hair of the moon wolf clan has turned from ice blue to scarlet, and the armor of the knights is still dripping with blood, some of which belonged to the creatures of the abyss, and some belonged to themselves.
The scale of this battle seems not small, but in Duke Godzilla's memory, it can only be regarded as a small battle.
The truly difficult abyssal army is more than a million, and that will be a qualitative change for the creatures of the abyss.
In a sense, the Marquis of Jill's tactics are not completely wrong. At least these abyssal creatures are much easier to deal with after they disperse because of their poor discipline after entering the northern border.
It's just that on the other side of the Great Wall, the abyssal creatures definitely have more than a million troops stationed there, which is a difficult bone to crack.
"My lord, many people died."
Gu Lanting came to Lu Chen's side and reported in a low voice.
"To collect the body, enter the city first."
Lu Chen said lightly, this was something he had expected long ago, the strength of the imperial guards could not keep up with the pace of the Lunar Wolf Clan's battle.
Although no specific casualties have been counted in this battle, it is feared that at least 3000 Janissaries were killed in battle.
In terms of battle damage, this is of course a big victory, but one less human race died, and the number of abyssal creatures is hard to predict.
He rode Anarius towards the opened city gate. As soon as he entered the city, a figure rushed down from the city wall and ran in front of him with an expression of excitement.
"My lord, you are finally back. The brothers in the Great Wall miss you very much."
Old Corey said excitedly, he seems to have been walking in the dark these days, unable to find the way forward, but at the most desperate moment, the light shone in again.
He waited for reinforcements, and he was still the Duke of Godzilla who was looking forward to returning in his dreams.
"Old Corey?"
Gree came from behind Lu Chen on a moon wolf, and was stunned when he saw the guard here.
"Captain Gree, you still remember me."
Old Corey looked honored.
Gree scratched his head, "I didn't expect you to be so successful."
He did have an impression of this veteran with scars all over his face. He was originally a hundred cavalry commander of his Iron Lion Legion, and he was considered a junior officer.
Now that the opponent can lead the army to defend the city, it means that at least he has gotten into the position of Wanqichang on the Great Wall.
"Hey, what's the use of getting ahead, I still miss the days when I fought with you and the Duke."
Old Corey looked at Lu Chen respectfully, "Now the Duke is here..."
Halfway through his speech, he stopped.
Gree was a little puzzled, and rode up on the moon wolf to take a look.
Lu Chen got off Anarius and reached out to support the old Corey who fell backward, "It's okay, I just fell asleep."
A younger general rushed over from the side and quickly supported old Corey for Lu Chen, "Please don't blame the duke, sir, he has been fighting on the top of the city for a day."
Lu Chen felt a little emotional, took a few steps forward, looked around, and finally looked at the soldiers standing on the top of the wall with bloodstained faces and wounds all over their bodies.
"Brothers have worked hard, you are all doing well, go back and rest at ease, I am still here."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, those soldiers who never gave up fighting until the last moment, and were more fierce than them in front of the ferocious abyssal creatures, suddenly felt sour in the corners of their eyes inexplicably.
These days, they blamed themselves and humiliated themselves. They were soldiers of the Great Wall, the iron wall of human defense, but they retreated.
They feel that they are deserters and cowards, and they want to die here to comfort their hearts.
Tell the world that the Great Wall soldiers are not cowards, they just obeyed the orders of the chief.
The sentence "You are all good" seems to break through the hearts of these strong men and make them feel infinite power.
And the phrase "There is still me here", uttered by this man, is like a promise stronger than the Great Wall. He is a legend, an iron wall, and... the guardian of mankind.
Lu Chen looked at the people gathered on the street again, "Don't worry, everyone, take care of the old people and children at home, and if you have spare energy, help these injured soldiers."
The city that had been shrouded in panic suddenly calmed down.
It was as if the deepest darkness had shone into the light, and the people felt warm despite their exhaustion, like the sun on this autumn afternoon.
The crowd was dispersed in an orderly manner, but those people passed the news to the whole city.
Young and powerful volunteers carried the wounded down to the city, and placed them in batches under the command of Gu Lanting, and the priest gave priority to treating the most seriously injured.
The remaining [-] imperial guards boarded the top of the city and took over the work of the original soldiers. Although they were also a little tired, they were all energetic.
They only discovered today that they were so admired as Duke Godzilla's soldiers.
Those men on the Great Wall have survived the bloody battle all day, so they are definitely a new force in comparison.
After a lot of things were arranged, Lu Chen didn't find a room to rest, but stood by at the top of the city.
The moon wolf tribe is still not hungry because they just had a full meal. It is already late autumn and the weather is slightly cold. Abyssal creatures are not so perishable, and it will be fine if they are left for a few days.
Now the northern border is like this, and the situation is far worse than he imagined. He doesn't have so many troops, and he can't quickly sweep across the whole territory.
The best strategy at present is to wait for the defenders here to recover a bit first, and he will learn more about the situation in the northern border, and then use Glenn City as a base to sweep north.
In the process, he also had to regroup the remnants to form a stronger moon wolf cavalry, and at the same time reorganize a larger army.
The troublesome point at this time is that the communication between the magic spar in this world is two-way binding. It doesn't know the number like a mobile phone, and you can contact whoever you want to contact.
On the other side of the capital, there is only a magic spar that is in contact with the Marquis of Jill. He has one here, but he cannot contact the other legion leaders.
He contacted Jill once on the road and knew that the other party was defending against the enemy in Carlos City.
Jill wasn't too brain-dead, and didn't say anything like "I can do it myself without your help", but it wasn't much cooperation either.
At present, he only told himself the current situation of the Great Wall army. The formed army with complete combat power is divided into three branches.
One is the Carlos City army headed by Jill, with more than 50 people in existence, and it is the most powerful army of the Great Wall.
The other is the army headed by Earl Quinn Aulas, the head of the Winter Legion, located in the city of Bran, which is the place where Gree used to perform. There are currently 30 troops.
In the end, there was an army of 30 led by Marquis Bryn Neola, the head of the Army of the Roses. At this time, they were in Guthrie City, the farthest to the northeast of Lu Chen.
It's not that King Kushra didn't think carefully. He gave himself the title of General Conquering the North, but in fact, except for the [-] imperial guards, it was just a blank check.
He has a general seal in his hand, but Jill has not been dismissed yet. The current regiment leaders of the Great Wall are all generals of the king's line, with Jill as the head.
If both of them have command authority, who should those people listen to?Who will you listen to?
This is the stupidity of King Kushra. He has a chance, and he wants the horse to run, but he doesn't want the horse to eat grass.
He hoped that Lu Chen could play some role, but he didn't want Lu Chen to play too much role. He still hoped that the person who finally regained the northern border would be the Marquis of Gil.
Lu Chen couldn't get in touch with the other two army commanders, so he didn't have any hope for the time being. If he got in touch, he might not be able to command.
Even if those low-level soldiers wanted to fight with him, the regiment commanders directly cut off this level, after all, everyone was in remote contact.
Therefore, Lu Chen's opportunity now is to gather the remnant soldiers in exile in the northern border, and when he encounters an established army, he will find a way to give orders in person and not give the opponent a retreat.
Because of Jill's loss of the Great Wall and the continuous defeat, the people in the northern border are in dire straits, and many soldiers are already dissatisfied with him.
You must know that a considerable part of the soldiers on the Great Wall are from the northern border. Seeing their hometown being ravaged now, they must be very tormented.
And at this time, he was also the supreme commander in name, commanding face to face on the battlefield, those legion commanders had to obey even if they didn't want to, otherwise the soldiers under them might mutiny.
What's more, with the current situation in the northern border, don't those legion commanders have any idea in their minds? Not necessarily.
As long as he stabilizes now, continues to win battles, and restores the size of the team, there will always be a chance to recover the entire army.
By the time the Great Wall is regained, his military power will be completely back.
…………
The next day, it was just dawn.
The armies of the Abyss didn't come later, but that wasn't good news.
Because this means that the abyssal army is raging on a large scale in the central area of the northern border, and every minute and every second they rest, people are dying.
But Lu Chen had to let the team repair and rebuild the Moon Wolf Cavalry.
He learned more about the current situation in the northern border in the old Corina, and also learned the important reason why the Great Wall was broken.
From the other party's narrative, he judged that the violator should be in the abyss camp at this time, and he can probably guess the occupation and ability from the description of old Corey.
It is estimated that it belongs to the category of necromancers, but there is a bug.
He also knew a little bit about necromancers. They can control dead bodies by releasing their skills, but that requires the consumption of soul source points. There are limits.
But according to the old Corey's description, he felt that the undead of the violator had the "contagious" characteristics of zombies, and it seemed that he did not need to consume soul sources to transform. Objects killed by special undead would also be "contagious". "Transformation, so the opponent can continuously create an army of undead.
But Lu Chen was a little unsure, did the other party violate the rules because of this?
In his opinion, this is at most the person who has mastered a powerful "skill". If it is placed in the game, it will be considered a disruption of balance, but the origin space is not a game, and the space should be delighted by the power of the explorer.
As for sabotaging the missions of other explorers, although this is a bit harsh, it is normal for explorers in the same space to compete and kill.
However, judging from the purpose of space sending explorers to various worlds, this violator has indeed caused damage to space. If the world is turned into a dead zone, full of ignorant undead, it may not be very meaningful to accommodate, and it is also I don't know if the other party has world exploration speed in doing so.
After much deliberation, Lu Chen vaguely felt that this violator must have violated the absolute taboo of space at some point.
Regarding the difficulty of the upper limit of this judgment mission, he also understood why it would be inevitable. If the opponent was allowed to create an army of undead indefinitely, there was really no solution.
He is good at group battles. If it is a low-intelligence undead, it is easy to kill. Unlike the illusory faceless man produced by light, the undead has flesh and blood, and King Killer can use the activation skill to suck blood and recover a little stamina.
It's just that this kind of absorbing ability can't be used much, it will affect your body, and there is a certain limit.
He may be able to kill a hundred thousand undead, a million undead, or even tens of millions of undead, but he will always reach the limit.
So when fighting against this kind of violator, he can't force it. He looks like a fool in the eyes of the opponent. He needs to confirm the location of the opponent and take him away with a one-time surprise attack.
After grasping the situation in the northern border, Lu Chen began to reorganize the Moon Wolf Cavalry.
The remaining [-] Great Wall soldiers in Glenn City expressed their willingness to follow him, but Lu Chen still did not accept all of them.
Because some people were too seriously injured to march, and Glenn City couldn't be completely empty.
In the end, he asked Gu Lanting and others to pick out [-] soldiers with intact limbs and no serious injuries, and joined the Moon Wolf Cavalry, bringing the number of Moon Wolf Cavalry back to [-].
None of the moon wolves were killed in the previous battle, but a dozen were seriously injured and dozens were slightly injured. At this time, the seriously injured were staying in Glenn City for recuperation, and the slightly injured were treated by the priest.
According to Anarius, as long as they wait for the next full moon, those seriously injured wolves will definitely recover, and they have a way to find their own people, no matter where they are, these moon wolves can find them.
After finishing his team, Lu Chen was ready to continue heading north. He couldn't stay for too long. Attack is the best defense.
The gates of the city were opened, and the moon wolves had packed meals before setting off, and the knights also took the rations squeezed out by the people in Glenn City.
The soldiers of the Great Wall were very excited after riding the moon wolf, while the soldiers who were not selected looked at their comrades with envy.
Not only because they can be a legendary moon wolf knight, but also because they can fight with Duke Godzilla.
Regardless of the objections of the adjutant, Old Corey forcibly joined the team even though his injuries were not healed. He said that he was a ten thousand cavalry commander after all, and even if he was injured, he was much better than ordinary soldiers.
After Lu Chen nodded, old Corey cheerfully found a moon wolf partner, and followed Gree idly, that was his old chief.
…………
Three days later, among the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood.
Lu Chen brandished his knife to shake his blood, and took King Killer back to his storage space.
In the past few days, with Glenn City as the center, they fanned out towards the northern territory, killing hundreds of thousands of abyssal creatures, and at the same time gathered some remnants of the Great Wall. Now the moon wolf cavalry is finally full. There are all knights.
They have never encountered such a large-scale abyssal creature outside Glenn City before. The biggest battle was a wave of more than 6 abyssal creatures, led by an abyss lord, and turned into Lu Chen's talent task. schedule.
Because they are all guerrilla operations, usually there is not much difference in troop strength. Often, under the leadership of Lu Chen, after a few waves of charge, the creatures of the abyss are almost dead.
The soldiers who followed him all sighed with emotion, they did not expect that the battle could be fought like this, and it was fought so happily.
Not all the legions of the empire are cavalry, and the cost of breeding Calaine horses is also astronomical. When the Duke of Godzilla commanded the Great Wall, only the three elite legions were all cavalry, and the cavalry of the other legions were used as "surprise soldiers" of.
The total number of cavalry on the Great Wall is 40, 30 in the three legions, and the other 10 are divided equally among the various legions. Some legions don’t even have cavalry at all, they are all infantry.
The current Great Wall has not changed much. Except for Jill's Death Scythe, and the Winter Legion and Rose Legion are all cavalry, the others are still the same.
At this time, some of the veterans who followed Lu Chen had been cavalry before, but how could the Kalein horses they had ridden be compared with the moon wolf?
Whether it is speed, power, or individual combat capabilities, they are not in the same dimension.
Carlain horse cavalry charge, often up to three back and forth, the charge is insufficient, and will fall into hand-to-hand combat. Experienced generals usually only lead the team to charge once. The main purpose is to disrupt the formation of the abyss army and divide the battlefield. , and then let the infantry regiment hide and kill.
But the stamina of the moon wolves is astonishing, they can run many times in a row, the knights just need to sit still, grasp the knives in their hands, and aim at those abyssal creatures.
Facts have proved that the quality of the soldiers on the Great Wall is still higher than that of the Imperial Guards. At least Lu Chen has never seen anyone who fell off the wolf's back during the march, and during the charge, these Great Wall soldiers are obviously experienced and know how to fight. Save effort, how to minimize the danger.
These are not things that the Imperial Guards can learn just by practicing on the playground, but the experience learned by those veterans who climbed out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
In the past three days, Lu Chen not only assembled the Moon Wolf Cavalry, but he also arranged for the remnants to go to Glenn City first.
In addition to the army around him, Glenn City still has [-] defenders, which is enough to deal with some emergencies, and it can be regarded as an important stronghold for him to recover the northern border.
"My lord, the village in front..."
Gu Lanting walked to Lu Chen, handed over a bag of water, and looked forward.
"Have you already arrived here? Let the brothers take a rest and go and see later."
Lu Chen recalled the location on the map and realized that they had reached the hinterland of the northern border. A few dozen miles ahead was the village of Nicoli where he and Gu Lanting once slept.
After the moon wolf ate and the team was refreshed, they continued to move forward.
After a while, Lu Chen looked at the ruins in front of him and the solidified black blood at the entrance of the village, feeling a little heavy.
"Search it."
After he gave the order, the veterans who followed him at first followed him into the village, which was also their job along the way.
When they encountered villages, they would take a look. If there were still people alive, they would guide them to Glenn City first. If there were soldiers who were not knights, they would escort them.
The food in Glenn City is actually not enough at this time, but he is still collecting people. In a sense, this is a stupid behavior.
But to let him watch those refugees being massacred by the creatures of the abyss outside, he feels a little uncomfortable.
He has already informed Glenn City that creatures from the abyss are edible, and if some people don't want to starve to death, they should feel disgusted if they have to.
I walked around the village of Nikori, but I didn’t see any living people. There were only rags and clothes left on the ground, and human bones left after eating, which meant that the people here did not escape, but encountered a team of abyssal creatures. .
Lu Chen came to the courtyard without walls with a gloomy expression. He looked at the big stone in the courtyard. He once had dinner here and was warmly received by an elderly man.
They were suffering, but they still had the hope of living. The woman's husband was killed by the army without conscience. She was very afraid of Gu Lanting, but she still gave them hot water.
The little girl was innocent, cute and sensible, and he was deeply impressed.
This is an ordinary family in the north, an ordinary family in the village, and he didn't even ask the other person's name.
Lu Chen walked slowly to the back of the courtyard, suddenly stopped, and he was keenly aware of what sound he heard.
So he hurried to the well, looked down, and saw a little girl squatting in the wooden barrel, covering her mouth with her hands, with tears in the corners of her eyes, looking up in horror, and looking at herself.
"Don't be afraid, it's me, remember, I gave you delicious food."
There was a gentle smile on Lu Chen's face, but the little girl below cried out, crying so sadly and heartbreakingly.
Lu Chen jumped into the well, and stopped right above the girl he remembered being called "Little Lika" by his mother, leaned over and grabbed the side of the big wooden barrel, and then jumped up lightly.
He carried little Lika out of the barrel, feeling that the child's hands and feet were cold, and he probably had been in it for a day or two.
Little Lika didn't speak, she just cried, and passed out after crying for a while.
Lu Chen walked out of the courtyard with Lika in his arms, and a row of veterans stood at attention outside, all with solemn expressions.
His eyes were stern, "Go, continue our... hunting."
