The rotten, foul smell spread with the appearance of thousands of Undead, the Fear of the living facing the Undead, mixed with this nauseating, disgusting odor.
Causing some timid Demi-humans to vomit directly!
The entire battlefield, all the Demi-humans stopped fighting, at a loss, fearfully looking at the densely packed Undead crawling out from underground.
Even the group of Beast-bodied Quadruped Demi-humans who were besieging Go Gin stopped their attacks.
A brief silence!
"Ah!"
A Viscera Egg ejected from a twisted, wriggling mass of flesh, a bloody, blurred intestine binding the nearest Demi-human, pulling this Demi-human into its abdomen.
A scream rang out.
Breaking this strange, Fearful atmosphere.
Ba Sai, the "Hero King" with the highest prestige on the battlefield, immediately roared through the Magic Item's amplification: "Everyone stop fighting and deal with these Undead first!"
As soon as he finished speaking!
An unprecedented solemn expression appeared on "Hero King" Ba Sai's face as he raised his shield, holding a one-handed heavy sword called "Sand Shooter".
"Hector Weiss! And that Ogre, Go Gin!"
"Help me, first take care of this Necromancer!"
"Hero King" Ba Sai loudly addressed the two strongest Demi-humans on the battlefield.
He had heard that there were Necromancers among humans who could summon Undead, but they could only summon one or two Undead.
The situation of summoning thousands of Undead in one breath like this, not to mention seeing it, had never even appeared in legends.
This was definitely a Magic Caster who could be described as "Terror"!
Faced with such a terrifyingly powerful enemy, even the proud Demi-human King, "Hero King" Ba Sai, had to adopt the strategy of encirclement, which only the weak would do.
On the cliff.
Tang Zheng frowned slightly as he looked down at the Alliance Leader, who had instantly become the enemy of all the Demi-human Races.
Making himself the target of everyone's hostility?
7th Tier Magic - "Undead Legion".
It could summon thousands of Undead, belonging to a special type of Tier Magic, which seemed powerful, but was actually just a group of low-level Undead.
Such Magic.
Tang Zheng didn't even have the interest to spend Skill Points to learn it.
At this moment, there were tens of thousands of Demi-humans on the battlefield, and the thousand or so Undead would be wiped out by this group of Demi-humans before long.
What was the point of doing this?
Tang Zheng lowered his head and glanced at Na Su Li Ni, the Demon Manifested People, who was being held in his hand and only had one breath left.
He had already learned the whole story from the other party. He originally thought that everything today was the Alliance Leader's doing.
After all, this inexplicable war was deliberately provoked by the Alliance Leader killing "Black Steel" Muwa.
As a result, he learned from the Demon Manifested Person Na Su Li Ni that many Demi-human Races had noticed it as early as when they were trading a large amount of food with humans, but none of them acted rashly.
Instead, they secretly contacted the Demon Manifested People, Blue Maggots, and other races. Therefore, even without today's war, the rebellion of the Blue Maggot King and other Demi-humans would still occur.
Regarding this situation.
Tang Zheng was neither surprised nor unexpected. He didn't regard these Demi-humans as fools. There was no shortage of smart Demi-humans in each race.
The original plan was to mess up the entire Hills, use the ample food and water in his hand to win over a group and kill another group.
Then, with the help of the "drought" effect.
He would quickly complete the rule over the Demi-humans, so that the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy would feel threatened and have to enter the game.
"Free Will" could also smoothly intervene and obtain the opportunity to contact the high-level officials of the two countries.
The Holy Kingdom was fine.
Facing the Slane Theocracy, Tang Zheng's attitude was always cautious, and he had to contact them in a reasonable way.
In this process, the rebellion of the Demi-humans was inevitable and necessary. It would be strange if a forced union did not defect on the spot.
Tang Zheng's script for himself as this "Mysterious Red-Robed Spellcaster" was originally a route of escape.
What really surprised him.
Was the change in the situation caused by the appearance of the Alliance Leader in front of him. He didn't think that the other party had not contributed to this.
"Khajiit."
Tang Zheng remembered what the other party had not said before: "You said before that your Alliance Leader, what do you mean by continuing to complete the unfinished ritual 20 years ago?"
Khajiit stood aside cautiously and fearfully, first nodded, then shook his head blankly: "At that time, I had not yet joined [Zuranon]."
"I just heard other high-ranking disciples say that the matter 20 years ago was an action by the Alliance Leader to create high-level Undead through a ritual."
"It's just that it failed in the end, and I don't know the specific reason."
Khajiit answered timidly.
"Create high-level Undead?" Tang Zheng looked at the battlefield again, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, yes."
Khajiit did not intend to hide any information, and quickly replied in panic: "The Undead summoned by "Undead Summoning" and "Undead Creation" are mostly limited in strength."
"Like the Bone Dragon summoned by the 'Death Orb' used by you, although its strength is not high, it has the power to resist Magic and completely restrain Magic Casters!"
"This kind of special Undead cannot be created through summoning and creation. What the Alliance Leader wants to create through the ritual is this kind of special high-level Undead."
He understood what Khajiit meant.
"Create chaos, use this war, and use the Death Qi and negative energy generated when the Demi-humans die to complete this ritual."
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he already understood what the Alliance Leader wanted to do.
The fundamental purpose of the *Undead Legion* spell is to use the negative energy generated by summoning thousands of low-level Undead.
To completely ignite the even larger negative energy and Death Qi on the battlefield, this 7th Tier Magic is just the prelude to the ritual!
Mana flickered incessantly in Tang Zheng's eyes, in his vision.
The entire battlefield.
Strands of negative energy and Death Qi, invisible to the naked eye, were being drawn by the Magic Ritual constructed from the corpses and blood of a large number of Demi-humans on the ground, constantly converging towards the Alliance Leader's position.
"A grand scheme."
Tang Zheng had made various guesses before, but he really didn't expect the Alliance Leader to be harboring this intention. A thought flashed in his mind, and the Mana radiance in his eyes intensified:
"This Magic Ritual... a Spiral of Death Ritual? No, the core is wrong, similar to a Blood Sacrifice Ritual core?"
The vague, enormous ritual on the battlefield, the construction of its patterns, gradually connected in Tang Zheng's mind, becoming clear.
If it were in the past, he might not have noticed the ritual at all, or even the differences within it, but now, under the influence of the Magic Transcendenter's passive ability, Magic Master.
Tang Zheng could easily distinguish the difference between the ritual arranged by the Alliance Leader and the Spiral of Death Ritual.
Although they shared the same framework, the core had changed!
Tang Zheng focused all his attention on observation, gradually emitting a terrifying Magic and pressure, making the surrounding air seem to become viscous at this moment.
The White Mist Witch and Khajiit both broke out in cold sweats, finding it difficult to breathe.
"Should I intervene?"
While analyzing and observing the entire ritual, this thought surfaced in Tang Zheng's mind.
"No."
A glint appeared in Tang Zheng's eyes, and he thought to himself.
Although the Alliance Leader's appearance had disrupted his original layout and plan, the current development of the situation was not contrary to his original plan.
The Slane Theocracy's Astrology Thousand Miles was still watching here, and now there was no need to even look for a reason.
The only thing that Tang Zheng was somewhat concerned about was whether this ritual could really succeed in creating "high-level Undead".
The "high-level Undead" that Khajiit referred to might not be the "high-level Undead" he imagined.
"Let me see what you're planning, Alliance Leader, don't disappoint me."
Tang Zheng gradually restrained the invisible pressure he had released by mobilizing his Mana earlier. After a slight thought, he began to issue instructions:
"White Mist."
"Master." The White Mist Witch felt the pressure ease and quickly responded, panting for breath.
"Since all the Demi-humans have rebelled, then something should have happened to Kurushe's side as well, just like us."
"Your subordinate will go immediately!" The White Mist Witch was shocked and reacted as well. The series of events just now had caused her to not think about this aspect at all.
"No need."
Tang Zheng shook his head: "There's no need to worry about Kurushe's safety."
"Whether it's relieving the drought in the Hills area or compensating for the lack of water sources, these Demi-humans all need Kurushe's assistance; she's actually quite safe right now."
"These Demi-human Races won't trust humans, but they will trust you, fellow Demi-humans. You go to Kurushe's side now and temporarily disguise yourself to assist these Demi-humans."
Upon hearing the master's instructions.
The panic in the White Mist Witch's bright yellow pupils disappeared: "Hehe, your subordinate understands. Master wants us two to be 'nails'."
"You even know 'nails'," Tang Zheng said.
The White Mist Witch relaxed and quickly left.
"That."
"L, Lord, what about me?" Khajiit asked softly.
Tang Zheng glanced at Khajiit and refocused his gaze on the chaotic battlefield below: "Watch the show."
Khajiit could only shut his mouth. He couldn't see through Tang Zheng at all right now. He had already emphasized the things the Alliance Leader had to do and the dangers involved.
Yet the man before him remained unmoved!
A sense of impending death constantly assaulted Khajiit's heart. In the Alliance Leader's eyes, he was already a dead man.
He wanted to live.
He could only rely on the Mysterious Red-Robed Spellcaster before him.
...
In the short time just now.
More than half of the summoned thousands of Undead had already died. The strength of these low-level Undead was not high. Except for individuals like the Viscera Egg.
Most Demi-humans could easily deal with these low-level Undead after overcoming their Fear.
The Alliance Leader's aura was somewhat weak at the moment. Casting 7th Tier Magic was not an easy task.
His attention was now only on the three Demi-humans.
Go Gin, "Beast General" Hector Weiss, and "Hero King" Ba Sai!
The three of them, like sharp arrows, pierced through layers of defenses constructed by Undead from three directions, quickly rushing towards the Alliance Leader's position.
"Stop him, Armored Skeleton Warrior!"
The Alliance Leader's hoarse voice rang out.
Bang!
The Armored Skeleton Warrior stomped on the ground, making a muffled sound. When running, the friction of bones emitted a harsh "creak, creak" noise.
It took the lead in colliding with Go Gin, stopping him.
"Skeleton Gryphon!" the Alliance Leader said.
"Hiss!"
The Skeleton Gryphon circling in the sky flapped its wings and swooped down rapidly from the air, causing the air to hiss as it passed.
He also stopped the "Beast General" Hector Weiss.
With the departure of the two Tier 5 Undead, it seemed that only a group of low-level Undead were left to protect the Alliance Leader.
"Sandstorm!"
The "Hero King" Ba Sai waved the one-handed greatsword in his hand, releasing a burst of ochre-colored sand and dust from the blade.
The sandstorm blew away a group of Undead blocking his path, and the pervasive yellow dust not only obscured the figure of the "Hero King" Ba Sai, but also obscured the Alliance Leader's vision.
The most dangerous aspect of a Magic Caster is their bizarre Magic.
The "Hero King" Ba Sai was well aware of this, so he used the Magic Item in his hand to prevent the opponent from discerning his exact location.
"As long as I get close, I'll win!"
The "Hero King" Ba Sai moved quickly through the yellow sandstorm, his massive body making no sound at all, clearly due to the Magic Item shoes on his feet.
Whoosh—
The silver-white figure flashed, instantly circling behind the Alliance Leader, seeing that the Alliance Leader didn't seem to have reacted yet.
"Die, human!"
The "Hero King" Ba Sai sneered inwardly, a ferocious smile on his face, as he suddenly charged forward:
"Unhesitating Assault!"
"Forceful Arm Hero Strike!"
"Force Strike!"
Swoosh!
The golden pendant on his horn flashed, activating the Magic Item's ability.
The "Hero King" Ba Sai's massive figure appeared in front of the Alliance Leader in the blink of an eye, the one-handed greatsword in his hand slashing down fiercely.
"Dragon Lightning!"
The Alliance Leader, who had been facing away from him, turned around abruptly as if he had anticipated him, releasing a dazzling blue lightning from his arm.
"Gahahaha, I knew you had detection Magic."
The "Hero King" Ba Sai laughed mockingly, his left foot suddenly exerting force, his massive figure already appearing at the Alliance Leader's side.
How could a Magic Caster's reaction speed compare to a powerful Warrior like him? His seemingly all-out attack just now was clearly a feint.
Whoosh!
The one-handed greatsword slashed.
Bang!
A black giant tower shield, fully two meters high and radiating Death Qi, appeared out of nowhere, blocking the Alliance Leader's side.
"A shield?"
The "Hero King" Ba Sai was briefly stunned, but the swinging blade did not change its trajectory, instead slashing down with even more Berserk power:
"Using armor in front of me is such a foolish move!"
"*Weapon Destruction!*"
A faint stream of light emerged from Hero King Ba Sai's body, and the sword blade heavily struck the huge tower shield.
Clang——Dang!!
The one-handed greatsword struck the Black tower shield, emitting a harsh metallic screech and dazzling sparks.
"How... can this be!"
Hero King Ba Sai's eyes widened; not only was the Black tower shield not destroyed, it didn't even have a scratch.
