Chapter 398: Soul Burial Song of Night (1)
After a group of three people set out, the first place they chose to go was the suspected place where the first lord killed by Inheim was killed in Seyan City.
According to the information given by Bolt to Liu Yifei, this lord's name is "Domila the Sufferer" and he is a female priest hero.
The territory of Domira, the Sufferer, is a small city called "Kanbo" under the jurisdiction of Seyan City. The city is also close to Stalinburg, which Bolt mentioned before. From the location analysis, if it is due to
If Heim indeed appeared in Seyan City from the abandoned site of Stalinburg, then the small and rugged town so close might indeed be the first to be attacked.
The interesting thing is that, in fact, the sufferer, Domila, did not die from Inheim's attack. The accident looked more like an unforeseen accident~
Perhaps it was because he lost a lot of strength after resurrecting, or because the battle with Solna caused Inheim himself to suffer a lot of trauma, or perhaps because his strength attributes were suppressed by the human priests.
In short, in Liu Yifei's opinion, Inheim, who was obviously eager to absorb the power of light, did not attack Canbo City as soon as he appeared. Instead, he attacked a relatively remote town under Canbo City.
According to Bolt's subsequent investigation, the mayor of the town that was first attacked was also a priest hero of the wizard faction, and his strength was probably at the upper reaches of the spiritual level. Although he was not able to break through to legend in a short time, he could still
Considered to be a promising new general in the Kingdom of Dickwell.
Because the other party is really very young...
This young hero with a good future may have been poisoned as soon as he was attacked, but his body was not found at the scene, and to this day there are no reports of him being seen or returning to the team, so Bo
Walter only defined it as "missing in action" and could not yet identify the person killed in action.
Even the powerful mayor has been killed directly. How can the remaining hundreds of soldiers survive? These guards responsible for guarding at the village and town levels are generally second-line troops under the superior lords. Both in terms of level and equipment level, they are better than what they are in.
The patrol companions in the city often have shortcomings, so they are sent to stand guard in more remote villages and towns.
According to Bolt's calculations, although the mayor was gone at the time, the soldiers did not lose their fighting spirit. Under the command of the two team captains, a tenacious resistance should still have broken out~
It's a pity that the enemy was too powerful. Soon everyone was silenced by the evil Inheim. At the same time, even the teleportation array in the town was destroyed. Bolt estimated that maybe Inheim wanted to hinder his superiors.
The lord's reinforcements look like here.
However, as soon as the teleportation array was destroyed, the other end of the communication must have noticed it. Soon, the sufferer-Domila sent a griffin reconnaissance team here. Unfortunately, all the griffins did not come back.
, and even made the last call, the sufferer-Domila sent out thirty griffins under her command and five keepers who happened to be able to ride the griffons, in order to accurately grasp the exact location of the town where the accident occurred.
News~
It's a pity that such a large reconnaissance team failed to escape the other party's clutches in the end, and Inheim used evil necromancy magic to kill them one by one in the woods around the town.
After waiting for more than a day and still receiving no response, the sufferer, Domira, knew that something must have happened in the town under her jurisdiction, and it couldn't be a trivial matter such as a riot* by homeless people. She could fly against the griffin.
The troops all have such strong suppression capabilities. The sufferer, Domila, estimates that the opponent has at least a regular army led by a rebel general, or even "enemy troops" who sneaked in from other places.
The sufferer at that time, Dormila, was quite stable. She first reported the situation to Seyan City, and after receiving the lord's "handle it on your own" response, she gathered her troops in Campo City, and then quickly headed towards
Cover up and leave in the direction of the town where the accident occurred~
It's a pity that this departure actually became the eternal farewell of Domila, the one who suffered...
After the first day, Seyan City did not receive any reward. However, the city lord of Seyan City thought that the opponent might not be weak and occupied the town's defenses, so Domira needed to deal with the opponent, but she waited.
No return for three days
Even the messenger sent by the Lord of Seyan City to Canbo City reported that Domila had not returned yet. Only then did Sir Sinrag, the Lord of Seyan City, know that something big had happened.
When Sir Sinrag led his elite troops to the town where the accident occurred, he discovered that the place was already in ruins and the miserable body of the sufferer on the ruins - Domira...
From this, Seyan City began to really pay attention to this blatant provocative war incident that occurred under Canbo City. With the death of at least one small town lord, Sir Xinrag, the lord of Seyan City, was completely furious and sent a large number of his men.
After thoroughly investigating the matter, a blockade was set up outside Canbo City, and then the abandoned Stalinburg was slowly discovered~
It's a pity that Stalinburg had already been abandoned by Inheim at this time, and what followed was multiple attacks launched by Inheim in Seyan City.
As the situation escalates step by step, various places have strengthened their defense efforts, and even temporarily launched a "curfew" after ten o'clock at night.
It's a pity that even so, everyone still failed to prevent Inheim's sneak attack~
And when Yinhai boldly attacked the lord of a small city, the other party called for rescue in time. Under Sir Sinrag's angry counterattack and the joint attack of the pastoral church in Seyan City, that time Yinhai
Mu was finally defeated and escaped, and finally someone discovered the true identity of the lich, and learned the general story of the matter~
The emergence of a lich is definitely a major event that cannot be ignored for the human kingdom.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Dickwell quickly dispatched additional defensive forces to every system stronghold in Seyan City. All small and medium-sized cities have a standard dual-lord configuration.
The original lord is still mainly responsible for the daily management of the entire city, while the additional "vice lord" is mainly responsible for defense affairs and reinforcements in emergencies.
From this, the attack on Inheim finally came to an end. It was not until Toradre received the news and Liu Yifei rushed to the area. Although there were occasional reports of finding traces of Inheim, at least nothing happened again.
Serious casualties.
The reason why Liu Yifei chose to go to the oldest Canbo City to investigate was not only because it was the cause of the entire series of events, but more importantly, he saw something strange in the events.
First, where has the mayor of the small town who has been missing so far gone?
Liu Yifei had "personally" seen the scene when Inheim "absorbed" power. Although the angel summoned by Godzilla Moby in the Inheim Resurrection Mine was powerful, it was not as powerful as an accurate one.
The level of spiritual lord.
That angel was just absorbed into a "human being" by Inheim. If the priest hero at the beginning was also absorbed, there wouldn't be even a trace of him~ At least in the NPC world, there are still corpses.
Said
Then the more obvious difference is that Sir Sinragg who rushed there later found the body of Domila the sufferer. Both of them were priest-type heroes, and they were both killed. Why did one leave a body and the other not?
Secondly, Liu Yifei felt that there were also many doubts about the subsequent events.
From the analysis of the traces at the scene, Inheim destroyed the teleportation array after completing the suppression of the entire town. This seems unnecessary~
Because this place is a resource-based town that is not open to players. Even if they don't expend this effort, players will not be able to get through. And the superior lords will not send people to lower-level areas just because they have nothing to do. The taxes from various places are
I set a date and took the initiative to hand it over.
It is said to prevent the news from leaking, but it seems completely unnecessary~
And judging from the subsequent developments, Inheim never left at all, but chose to stay and continue to ambush the reconnaissance troops sent by the superior lord.
This behavior is a bit too strange~
After all the killing, why don't people leave?
Collect corpses??? Or do you want to gain more experience???
Liu Yifei also found it difficult to understand~
Finally, Dormila dispatched thirty griffins and five skilled trainers in one go. The trainers all had low-level intelligence authority and were enough to undertake basic investigation operations.
The strange thing is that no one escaped afterward.
Liu Yifei knew that Inheim could fly and was strong enough at the legendary level
But thirty griffins and five trainers are not idiots. It is impossible to say that they gathered in one place and rushed over collectively. That was not reconnaissance, but food delivery.
Since it was an investigation, they must have gone to the location of the incident from all directions in order to expand the scope of the search and obtain more comprehensive information~
As for the flying ability of the gryphon, the five trainers were riding high-level fighting gryphons, which could all be taken away by the opponent. Liu Yifei couldn't help but wonder if Inheim still had three heads and six arms?
Therefore, the first thing Liu Yifei wanted to investigate was indeed the area around Canbo City, but his focus was on the woods outside the town where the accident occurred...
"I said, Yifei, why are you taking us two girls into the dark forest this late at night? Are you planning to do something wrong?
Although I didn't agree with you pursuing my sister because of my considerations, and it embarrassed you a little, you can't retaliate against us because of this.
Otherwise, how about I give you a chance to take revenge on my sister? You have to let me go~"
Quietly following Liu Yifei, Xiaoxin didn't forget to joke~
It's just that her joke this time was obviously not funny. Liu Yifei responded with a "shh" sound, while Xiaoyu next to Xiaoxin simply pinched her hard.
"Stop joking around. We're looking for clues here. Pay attention, and you might be able to find something." Liu Yifei said, looking around.
"Ah? Stop joking. It's so dark here that we can't see the road clearly. What clues do you want us to find?" Lei Hanxin's surprised voice came from behind.
"Why is it dark...ah, I'm used to it, I've forgotten that you human players don't have dark vision..."
Liu Yifei looked back and found that the two girls were walking tentatively with cautious faces, not forgetting to hold the toga behind him in their hands. Then he remembered that he had come from the ghost clan to the human clan, and
His teammates are no longer the young assassins or Xuelan of the past.
Although the human camp has a "versatile" camp talent that allows them to choose far more career types than ghost players, the problem is that they also have some inherent flaws that are difficult to make up for.
For example, darkness is always a headache for human players.
If there is a mage in the team, it will be better. The magic light ball produced by Dancing Lights can release a stable and continuous magic light. The disadvantage is that the coverage area is not large enough. It often requires several mages to work together to effectively form an area.
lighting.
Other professions are even more embarrassing~
When the priest casts the Holy Light spell, he can naturally emit a bright light. Unfortunately, the duration of that thing is too short. If you use it casually, it is not so much used for lighting, and it may cause the opponent to be blinded instantly.
Xing is bigger~
As for other professions, there is really no other way. When it comes to playing games at night, if you want to continue fighting monsters in the wild, you can only light a torch honestly.
Liu Yifei was used to the visual advantage of the ghosts, so he had never experienced the hardship of human players searching in the dark. Such a sudden change was really hard for him to accept.
"It's terrible. I didn't consider your problems. I forgot to buy a torch when I came out..." Liu Yifei was speechless~
