Chapter 948

Ren came out of Dragon Nest and did not return directly to Gotham City, but took Borch to the area north of Gotham City.

"Boss, what are we doing here?"

Looking at the desolate land around him, Borch couldn't help feeling a little strange.

"Do you know where this is?" Ren asked with a smile, seeing Borch shaking his head in confusion, he continued: "Loposte. During the third era, the Elven Empire was one of the largest cities in the New World. First, it is the most famous magic research city, with many magic schools and countless towers."

"I didn't see it at all." Borch had heard of Lopost, but as far as he could see, there was no life under the dark sky, like a dead zone.

This place is far beyond the range of the magic torchlight, more than five hundred miles away from Gotham City.

The air is filled with the power of death.

Looking into the distance, you can see some undead creatures wandering above the earth, they are only a few, and there are countless undead armies hidden under the ground.

Lopost is located on the east coast of the New World. If you continue hundreds of miles to the northeast, you will find the Blood Elf's Revenge Island. If you go thousands of miles to the northwest and enter the Karnold Ice Field, the number of undead creatures will increase. restricted area.

"Loposte will be the next city to be restored. Today is just on the way. I will check around first." Ren said while scanning the sky.

"Boss, let me fly you around for a few laps." Borch said courteously.

"good."

Ren nodded, "Be low-key, don't disturb the dead people buried in the ground."

Just as Boerqi was about to reveal his true body as a golden three-headed dragon, he quickly changed his mind and turned into a tall and handsome golden-scaled Pegasus horse.

It was covered with golden scales, its red mane was like a burning flame, a pair of wide flame wings grew out from its sides, and it dragged a dazzling long ponytail. The horse's head and eyes were as black as ink, emitting wisps of misty shadow energy.

Although the Golden Scale Pegasus restrained the aura of dragon power, no one would treat it as an ordinary war horse due to its gorgeous and dazzling appearance.

Ren straddled the horse.

"Boss, sit still." Borch flapped his flaming wings several meters wide, turning into a streamer of three colors and galloping high in the sky, fast and steady.

After a while.

The Golden Scale Pegasus flew twice over the ruins of Lopost. Ren already had a good understanding of the city, and he had a panoramic view of the surrounding ruins.

The number of undead is estimated to be over one million.

There are more than a dozen large tombs of the undead alone, and there are several legendary undead in each tomb. There is also an Apocalypse Knight in the largest tomb. It should be sent by the death lord to this area to lead the millions An army of undead, leading a Black Soul Knights.

If there is only one Apocalypse Knight, there is no need to worry at all. This army of millions of undead will sooner or later be converted into their own electricity.

Elotesia is still integrating the Gammaland Plain, and it is estimated that she will have to wait a year or two to truly march towards the Frog Basin.

Without demon wars, there is no battery.

It just so happens that these undead can be used as a supplement for the transition period, and they must be harvested severely. In addition to the skeleton, the corpse of the undead can also be sent to the Black Soul Valley to grow mushrooms.

Ren already knew it in his heart and ordered:

"Fly in the direction of Gotham City."

The Golden Scale Pegasus immediately turned to the south and flew all the way along the east coastline. Ren rode on its back and looked down at the earth. His all-seeing eyes saw through the ground and recorded the distribution of the underground tombs of the undead. When he flew close to Gotham City, he already knew the situation of the undead army well.

Entering the range of the magic torch, Ren immediately teleported back to the highland fortress with his horse and man.

Looking at the bustling city, the sky is clear, and there are completely two worlds with Lopost, Borch suddenly became interested, and asked for instructions: "Boss, can I take a stroll in the city?"

"Go, don't cause trouble for me." Ren warned.

"Absolutely not!"

With Ryan's permission, Borch ran out of the highland fortress in a flash and disappeared among the tall buildings of Gotham City.

Ren couldn't help shaking his head.

This guy has just been promoted to the ancient dragon, and he vowed to work hard in the Dragon Valley, but he couldn't hold back when he arrived in Gotham City. But there was nothing to worry about. The whole city was under his surveillance. If Borch dared to act recklessly, he could be honest with just one thought.

After sitting in the study for a while, dealing with business, Frajaska came in.

"You inform the ministers to have a meeting at the city hall tomorrow morning." Ren ordered.

"OK."

Frajaska wrote it down and asked, "What was the meeting about?"

"Loposte." Ren looked at the document without raising his head.

"Is this going to be too fast?"

Frajaska was startled when she heard the words, and expressed her opinion carefully: "Raleigh City has just been laid down for a few months, and only a few infrastructures have been built in the entire city, and only a few main roads have been built. It will take at least two or three years to build a decent city.”

"Essinger is also just on the right track."

"Another seven smaller cities are also under development."

"You just approved the railroads and roads again, Ryan. Money is being used everywhere. We're barely financially viable, but we're short of people."

"One more Lopost, I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower."

Ren raised his head, waited patiently for her to finish, and then said: "I just came back from Lopost, and I have already found out the situation of the undead army. Anyway, sooner or later, it is better to start early. You don't have to worry about finances. As for manpower aspect……"

He paused, "I'll figure it out."

"Loposte is not a small city. It has a vast area and fertile land. I think many people should be interested. If you raise some salaries, you will definitely be able to recruit people from the empire. In short, if you prepare everyone, it will not affect Isinger and Raleigh. construction."

Seeing that Renn had made up his mind, Frajaska stopped persuading her and nodded, "Okay."

Then she exited the study.

Ren pondered for a while. The reason why he was so anxious to attack Lopost was because of harvesting electricity, and secondly because of Oroan's elves.

The last time the Phoenix King sent an envoy, he wanted Lopost by name, but he resolutely rejected it.

Although there was no news after that, and that Archmage Modante never came again, it can be seen that my guess is correct, the Phoenix King has no interest in opening up a new continent, but the Phoenix King does not represent the will of the entire Auroan.

The Ten Elf Kingdoms of Oroan are not monolithic.

Even, the political struggle among elves is more complicated and cruel than humans.

If any elven kingdom, faction, or big shot is unwilling to watch the New World fall into the hands of humans, bypassing the Phoenix King and directly sending elves to land on the New World, it will be troublesome.

In order to prevent long nights and dreams, you must first take Lopost into your own hands.

In this way, more than 80% of the east coast of the New World is under his control. Except for Revenge Island and Sunshine Island in the southeast, the elves of Oroan have no choice. Unless the elves have the ability to enter the Karnold Ice Field, or airborne into the hinterland of the New World, to attack the territory of the Netif demons.

If the elves had such strength, they wouldn't have failed to counterattack the New World for more than two thousand years.

the next day.

Wren successfully held the town meeting.

No one raised any objections at the meeting, and they all fully supported Ryan's idea. Ren was not surprised by this. The meeting by himself was just to inform them, unify their thinking, and make logistical preparations, rather than really wanting to ask for their opinions.

Gotham City has the final say alone, and whoever dares to object, then don't do it.

On the third day, the Extreme Battle Group, the Duke's Guard, and the Knights of the Holy Gun were dispatched, but only a part of the army was dispatched, and they went north out of the range of the magic torch to fight against the army of undead.

Ren's plan is to use the Duke's Guard as the main offensive force to practice actual combat experience, and the Knights of the Holy Lance as a supplement to deal with the Black Soul Knights of the undead. The Ultramarines sit in the rear, in case the Deathlord himself leads his army into battle.

The Star Destroyer is hidden high above the sky, only as a platform for transporting troops.

The army advanced steadily northward.

Even if the army of undead were all unemotional dead people, under the powerful firepower of the Duke's guard, the ruthless will was useless. The undead rushed up wave after wave, and turned into pieces in a blink of an eye, unable to shake the Duke's guard's line at all.

Every day, the Duke's Guard and Knights of the Holy Lance can advance more than ten miles, approaching Porost step by step.

At this speed, Gotham City's army can reach the ruins of Lopost in just one month, clear an open space, and start building the tower.

Wren watched the battle himself from the bridge.

On the seventh day of the war, the number of the undead army suddenly increased.

The pressure faced by the Duke's Guard increased several times. Countless undead attacked from the west and north. The black army could not see the end. They used their bodies to consume the ammunition of the Duke's Guard, abruptly stopping the army.

The corpses of the undead piled up like mountains in the wilderness, laying out a defense line of debris several miles long and thousands of miles wide.

Farther in the rear, the tireless undead dug trenches. The enemy has learned how to avoid the firepower of the Duke's guards and reduce the damage.

Ren looked in the direction of the Karnold Icefield, but did not find the Death Lord, and even the Apocalypse Knight did not appear.

There is only an endless army of undead.

"He's going to fight a war of attrition." Ren laughed.

The intention of the death lord is obvious, and it is also correct from a tactical point of view. The biggest advantage of the undead is the number. It is hopeless to overwhelm the enemy with an army of ten times and a hundred times. Even if it is a one hundred to one death exchange, the undead still make money.

The Duke's Guard is very powerful, but their battles cost ammunition.

Ammo is not infinite.

But the army of undead is infinite, especially the death lord got the artifact "Necronomicon", he can summon the undead from the abyss of the underworld every day, the army under his command is endless, no matter how many people die, he doesn't feel bad, anyway, he can afford it .

Unless one possesses a magic torch that can eliminate mid-level and low-level undead in a large area, and can also distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, otherwise, the crowd tactics of the undead army are unsolvable.

The death lord does not have to appear in person, nor does he need to send out an elite army.

on the bridge.

Marius, the leader of the Extreme Battle Group, looked at the Duke's Guards who were at a stalemate with the undead army that was several times larger than his own. He couldn't help feeling a little worried, and said in a low voice: "My lord, do you want to let the brothers go out?"

"No need." Ren shook his head.

Marius thought that Ren would let the Star Destroyer fire, but soon realized that he was wrong. Ren smiled and said, "It's just for the Duke Guards to practice, to accumulate more combat experience and grow up quickly. The Lord of Death wants to fight with us. In a war of attrition, it depends on who can afford it.”

"My lord..." Marius' complexion changed slightly. It was unwise for Ren to fight a war of attrition with the undead.

He was about to persuade, but was interrupted by Ren waving his hand.

"I know it."

"If the situation is not right, I will let the Duke's Guard stand down."

Ren felt helpless, and he couldn't say that this was exactly the situation he wanted. He was fighting a war of attrition, and he could harvest electricity like crazy.

Marius felt relieved.

In the next few days, the Duke's Guard and the Knights of the Holy Gun only advanced less than five miles, and paid some casualties. However, tens of thousands of undead were destroyed by firepower every day, which made Ren's soul pool rise again and again. Up, he all transformed into soul diamonds.

Most of the soul diamonds are used by Ren to expand the pixel world.

Tens of thousands of soul drills were put in, and the length, width and height of the pixel world were expanded to 30 meters, and the space volume reached 27,000 cubic meters!

This is already very large.

Ren stopped expanding the pixel world, and then put the power into the heart of the main brain.

For half a month, the Duke's Guards advanced for about 30 miles with difficulty. Ren invested 200,000 grids of electricity to upgrade the master's heart from level 12 to level 13, and the number of souls that could be created doubled again, reaching 32,678 indivual!

In this upgrade, the Heart of the Mastermind did not push up the upper limit of the Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers, it was still at the legendary middle level.

"It should be upgraded to another level."

Ren tried it, and was shocked to find that the heart of the mastermind was upgraded to level 14, and the power required was about 1 million grids!

He gasped, which was too exaggerated.

However, with the current situation, it seems that one million grids of power is not unattainable. As long as the undead army fights the war of attrition for half a year, it should be enough. But so much power is just to upgrade the mastermind's heart to one level, which is too wasteful and the price/performance ratio is extremely low.

"Forget it, forget it, there are more than 30,000 souls that can't be used up."

Ren resolutely gave up.

Instead, he used the power to create Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers, striving to increase the number of Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers by another five thousand. By the way, let twelve mage clones build more spell models, the more the better, increase the strength, and start to attack the Archmage .

The number of complete Dark Angels has also increased to one hundred.

At the same time, there are a lot of soul diamonds stored in the pixel world, and Ren sent a batch to Oshilia in the Dragon Valley, asking her to create more rainbow dragon clones.

Every day, Ren's strength is growing rapidly, which is more efficient than harvesting demon souls from the bottomless abyss, which makes him a little intoxicated.

Ren thought that this war of attrition would continue.

However, one day after a month, the endless army of undead suddenly retreated.
