MTL - Heroes of the Invincible Undead-Chapter 2859 snow land
Among the doomsday kings who listened to Frazer's speech, I am afraid that Ashley was the one who felt the deepest.
As the first generation of Necromancers and one of the founders of the Endless Night Ritual, Ashley has already formed a deep and indissoluble bond with the undead creatures.
In ancient times, what gathered in Diya was just a group of pagans who were exiled by the Erathians, and they didn't know any undead spells at all. It was Esri who brought the system of the Bracada Spell Academy to the cursed Diya, established the original Necromancer Academy, and taught the apprentices step by step Spiritualism, allowing the Necromancer to have a foothold in this world. The Endless Long Night Ceremony passed down by her even cultivated those liches for Diya in the future.
If it weren't for Ashley's enlightenment, perhaps hundreds of years later, necromancers would not have developed in Diya, let alone be carried forward by the later necromancers. What existed in Diya were only a group of unprofessional aliens. believers.
Throughout the history of Diya, many famous and powerful beings have accepted the guidance of Asri. The spider lady Stephen, the spirit-gathering man Shanter, the skeleton prince Catherine, and those dark heroes who have left a strong mark in the history of Diya have also more or less accepted her teachings.
If anyone wants to see the real rise of undead creatures, and stand in this world from now on, without having to look at any strength, then that person is none other than Asriel.
Asri has witnessed the development and changes of Diya for hundreds of years. She saw one hero after another rising from Diya. They either fought all the way and finally died in the war, or disappeared after accepting the endless night ceremony. Becoming a member of many undead liches, losing the spirit of daring to fight, and the soul gradually decayed under a long lifespan.
No one has ever been able to take on the responsibility of the entire Diya, lead the undead creatures, ask those angels in the clouds, or ask those arrogant and conceited mages for the power that the undead creatures deserve, and replace the undead creatures Expand the territory and compete for the space where the undead live.
Even Asri, after personally experiencing the horror of those enemies, his anger gradually turned into helplessness, and this idea finally disappeared. There is no other reason, those enemies are too terrifying, no matter whether it is the The holy spirit, or the once brilliant mage, can crush undead creatures with strength, and undead creatures that win by numbers are no match for those enemies at all. This world will never belong to the undead.
But Ashley never gave up, she has been waiting, waiting for the hero who can lead all the undead to appear.
Rhodes, who was later known as the Lord of the Undead, also entered Ashley's attention when he was weak. At that time, Rhodes was just a little-known necromancer, and the impression of him from all over the mainland was that he owned a ghost dragon, and his behavior was extremely cold. It wasn't until he demonstrated the power of the two artifacts that his name was truly known to everyone.
From Rhodes, Asri saw a small hope, which is why she will participate in the Lich Gathering initiated by Rhodes as a seventh-order legend, and join the death shadow battle that she will regret when she thinks about it in the future .
In that battle, Diya's strength suffered heavy losses, and countless liches died. Since then, Diya has been in a slump and has not recovered so far, so that when the end comes, Diya's liches have to run around , while making allies, also try to find a way to survive the doomsday.
Sometimes, Ashley would blame Rhodes for the defeat in the Shadow of Death Battle, but thinking about it now, it wasn't all Rhodes' fault. If the liches hadn't listened to Rhodes' words, and were fascinated by the power of the artifact and the almost exaggerated transformation ability, but had always kept their heads clear, they would not have fallen into the final fate.
The ghost king's cloak, which is one of Rhode's artifacts, is also the root cause of the death shadow battle. Under the effect of that artifact, the basic transformation rules of undead creatures are completely broken. Any necromancer can use the corpse witch king derived from the ghost king's cloak, transformed by Rhodes himself, to create for himself a body that surpasses the original owner of the corpse. A powerful Lich with rank restrictions.
At the beginning of the battle, all the necromancers who participated in the battle had the belief that they would win. Everyone believed that a new era was about to begin. It was an era of undead with the power of artifacts as the source. People saw When it comes to the prospect of good times, it ignores the dangers it faces now.
The powerful transforming ability of the ghost king's cloak broke the cognition of all necromancers. No necromancer could resist the temptation to transform a group of first- and second-tier ordinary creatures into fifth-tier corpses.
Even those liches who have survived for hundreds of years, seeing necromancers who are far inferior to them, only need to go through a few battles that are not difficult, and they can gain the power that they need to spend tens or hundreds of years to accumulate slowly. After the undead army, it is inevitable not to be moved by this power. In terms of the ability to destroy flesh and blood creatures, how can an ordinary necromancer compare to a real lich?
In the wave of undead caused by the artifact, everyone in Diya lost their composure, and no one wanted to be left behind during the transformation process. There are only so many flesh and blood creatures in an area. If you don't make a move, there are necromancers eager to fight, and liches who are eager to make a move. In the end, you can only watch the opportunity fleeting and regret it.
At that time, Rhodes was not the same as he is now. The Lord of the Undead, who bowed his head, had no power at all to force the entire Diya to obey his orders, but he did it. He did not rely on force. Human insight and calculation.
A lich has an almost infinite lifespan, and a necromancer who becomes a lich will gradually become aloof from the world. Whether it is the study of necromancy or the cultivation of the undead army, it can be carried out gradually over a long period of time. There is no need to take this risk and join the Death Shadow Battle, but they did so because of the weakness in people's hearts.
The Liches spent nearly a hundred years establishing the Academy of Necromancy, maintaining the peace of the territory, and collecting the corpses of the dead on the territory. In the end, the Liches that can be created may not exceed several hundred, and this is even worse than Not an ordinary necromancer, how could the harvest of a small-scale battle in the Battle of the Shadow of Death not make the liches jealous?
It is obviously a lich standing at the top of the whole Diya, but the harvest of undead is easily surpassed by ordinary necromancers. How can people accept this? This is why the liches are willing to take the risk of falling and join the battle of the shadow of death.
Rhodes saw through and took advantage of the weakness in Lich's heart. With the full support of the entire Diya, the wave of corpse witches triggered by the artifacts gradually evolved into a trend that swept the entire world. In that battle, the world felt the horror of the undead artifacts for the first time.
Facing what is at your fingertips, a single battle is worth hundreds of years of daily gains. There are only a handful of liches who can keep calm. Most of the liches have been dazzled by the unimaginable harvest of the undead. Siri will inevitably be moved by this. Rhodes spent a lot of effort to persuade this first-generation necromancer to join the battlefield.
In the end, the liches also paid the price for their actions. With the failure of the Battle of the Shadow of Death, the liches also became victims of the failure of the battle. In the deepest part of Diya, he no longer cares about things on the mainland.
Rhodes never forced the liches to join this battle. All he did was to provide the power of the artifact, and to show the undead trend triggered by that power in the eyes of all the liches, which really made the liches It was the greed in their own hearts that made that decision. It was none other than the Liches themselves that caused the failure of the Battle of Death's Shadow.
Of course, not all liches were driven by greed to join that battle for profit. Among the liches, there are also those who, like Stephen, are full of engraving hatred for Erathia. Compared with harvesting more Lich, they want to completely destroy Erathia, and the fate of those liches is not easy.
Recalling the tide of undead caused by the ghost king's cloak, and those ambitious liches, Ashley also marveled at this. Anyone who sees a century of accumulation destroyed in one day will be saddened by it.
However, when Asri saw Faleze on the podium in the distance, and the majestic undead army, her eyes lit up again.
The efforts of the Liches have not been in vain. Maybe the Battle of the Shadow of Death will eventually fail, maybe the undead will be completely driven back to the grave, or the bones will be turned into ashes, and there will be no bones left, but it is precisely because of that scene. Fighting, on top of the corpses of all things, the most terrifying existence is born. The Lord of the Undead, who commands all the dead, has found his strength.
Today, the title of Lord of the Undead is known to everyone on the mainland. Rhodes led countless undead to fight **** battles and regained the birthplace of undead magic. Bracada, ruled by mages, fulfilled the long-cherished wish of haunting the first generation of undead mages for thousands of years. Even Asri was deeply moved.
Just like what Rhodes promised at the beginning of the battle, when his undead are all over the world, and when the world can no longer stop his footsteps, he will take back the homeland that belongs to the necromancer.
At that time, neither Ashley nor the other liches took his promise to heart. Everyone knew that those legendary mages were amazingly powerful, and they were not an existence that undead creatures could defeat at all. did it.
Looking back at the beginning, when Ashley set foot on this familiar yet unfamiliar snowy land, she couldn’t help expressing her heartfelt sighs. Unexpectedly, the necromancer who was once worthless in front of her has now become a man whom even she has to look up to. The presence. The title of the strongest necromancer in the contemporary era is none other than him now. Just inadvertently, he has become the object of worship and admiration of all undead creatures. Looking at Diya, there is no lich who can To achieve today's achievements.
"The Lord of the Undead..."
Looking at Faleze who was shouting loudly on the podium, and the undead army that conquered the entire snowy region, Ashley couldn't help but be inspired by Faleze's words, and recognized in his heart that he led the undead creatures to fight, Rhodes who regained his distant homeland for the Necromancer.
The memory of learning magic in Bracada still exists in Ashley's mind. Even though hundreds of years have passed since then, Ashley has never forgotten it. She remembers the magic in the snowy area. For every landscape in my life, I remember the situation when the hillside was covered with silver.
As a legendary lich, Ashley hasn't set foot in this snowy area for some time, and he doesn't know how far it is from Diya. Even if it's space magic, it will attract the pursuit of the legendary mage, and if it doesn't work, it will cause In the fierce conflict, Ashley could only keep his impression of this snowy area in the deepest part of his mind, and he didn't want to think about it again.
But now, the Bracada snowy region has completely fallen into the hands of the Lord of the Undead, and the mages have been completely driven out from the snow mountain. After hundreds of years of displacement, the undead creatures can now return to Bracada. The reason why everything can be achieved is due to the Lord of the Undead.
In the previous Battle of the Shadow of Death, hundreds of thousands of Lich were not enough to shake the world, and they could only end in failure. Now that the Lord of the Undead has wings, those millions of hybrid undead that are a fusion of the Lich King and the Vampire King , enough to change the whole world.
"The great Lord of the Undead, the dead who wake up from the darkness will finally understand that the undead don't have to curl up in the boundless darkness, don't have to look at the faces of those who claim to be righteous, don't have to decay and fester in the cold winter, but To be able to walk freely in the old hometown and enjoy the same land with living people is not because the enemy has shown mercy and accepted us, but because you led us to fight."
On the podium, Frazer's speech was still going on, but Ashley hadn't listened carefully. She let her eyes go and focused on more important things.
When the apocalypse is approaching, Diya, who is currently lacking in strength, needs such a hero who fights for all undead creatures if he wants to survive the catastrophe sweeping the world safely.
Even if all the grievances in the past are put aside, Rhodes achieved his current achievements at the age of less than a fraction of a lich, and became the Lord of the Undead praised by the kings, which is enough to win the admiration of Ashley, who is also a cemetery department, not to mention It is said that Rhodes still has the power of the dark holy words, and there is only one chance before the whole Diya surrenders to him.
Ashley made up his mind in his heart that when the wedding ceremony is over, he will bring a group of subordinates, and at the same time represent all the remaining liches in Diya, to formally submit to the Lord of the Undead and submit to the Kingdom of the Undead. It allows other subordinates to gain the power similar to that of members of the Undead Legion.
