The Rise of the Cemetery

However, at this very moment, Li Xun was angrily cursing at the Corpse Grave Demon.

Of course, due to the huge size of the corpse tomb demon, in the eyes of outsiders, Li Xun, the owner of the cemetery, cursed at the air alone as if he was insane.

At that time, when installing and debugging the psionic cannon, a big killer, Yisa had already told him not to fire both cannons at once. It's good now, the middle and lower floors of the undead castle are in a mess, and several big holes have been blown out of the body of the corpse grave demon.

As the mud waves tumbling, countless souls of the dead flew out of the hole, coiling and howling above the corpse grave demon.

These are all slaves bound in the body after being swallowed by the Corpse Tomb Demon. They usually do coolies silently in their body, and it is impossible for outsiders to see them. Today, the bodies of the corpse grave demons were greatly damaged, so they broke free from their restraints and rushed out. But after all, the deep soul contracts are still there, and they can't stay away at all.

"Master, those necromancers seem to be retreating!" Uzel the dracolich whispered to Li Xun.

Li Xun was taken aback, and turned to look in the direction of Xin Saluo. With the help of the ghost eyes floating above the city, he can see the situation in the city at a glance.

In his magic perception, the magical brilliance of the teleportation array next to the mage tower in the city has just converged, and the space ripples unique to teleportation are slowly calming down. The magical light spots that originally covered the city are also disappearing one after another. It is obvious that the necromancers have left this area.

Fleeing without fighting?

These necromancers walked really simply, not even the low-level undead that filled all the streets in the city!

Li Xun sighed helplessly, and waved his hand to order the army to rush into the city to wipe out the tide of abandoned corpses, while he turned around and got together with a group of dracolich to study how to repair the damage suffered by the corpse grave demon.

But when he was working hard, Li Xun still didn't forget to raise his head and look at the east of the city. There, a fair duel was going on as scheduled without everyone's perception.

...

This is a small hill twenty miles east of Xinsaro City.

Standing on the hill, you can already see the majestic and towering city wall of Xinsalona in the distance.

However, at this moment, the condemned knight Kenser sat on a majestic and mighty undead horse calmly, waiting for his opponent motionless.

He didn't make him wait any longer. Amid the violent and rough hoofbeats, two undead knights who were equally tall and strong galloped from Xin Saluo and stopped 50 meters in front of Kanser.

"Report your name, Undead Knight! I am Kanser, the Scourge Knight." Kenser watched the two approaching, but his expression did not change at all, and he let out a low voice in a deep and calm voice.

"I am Alsace, the leader of the Knights of the Ebon Blade!"

"Barian, deputy head of the Ebon Blade Knights, sends his greetings to you!"

The next two were Arthas and Scarface who led the Ebon Blade Knights. It's just that for some reason, the two chose to meet and discuss with the enemy general in such a remote and desolate place.

"Respected knight from afar, I see the future of the undead knight in you. Now, can you tell me which great existence you have dedicated your loyalty to?" Kanser's sharp eyes never left Alsace , the tone is low and dignified.

"Dear Lord Scourge Knight, I choose to serve the Lord of the Graveyard. A great master with a broad mind!"

"Lord of the cemetery?" Hearing this strange title, Kenser hesitated: "What a grand title! Could it be that he is already a demigod?"

Alsace's expression froze, and he replied with a strange expression.

"My lord has just set up his own banner, and is currently in a period of rapid rise..."

"Isn't it the pinnacle of legend? Is it just entering the legend?" Kenser asked in surprise.

Alsace's pale lips twitched.

"My lord has not yet reached such a height..."

"It can't be a holy rank, right?" Kansas's scarlet and sharp soul fire shook for a while: "Alsace, you are the most talented undead knight I have ever seen. How can you casually dedicate your loyalty to those Cowardly and insidious guy? I..."

Seeing the flickering words of the head of the group, he didn't dare to answer directly, the scar face next to him almost laughed like a flower in his heart.

"Hey, that big guy over there, you don't have to guess randomly! The master we serve is a human mage, and he has just entered the ranks of Dagu mages. Although those great and noble titles are difficult to add His head, but he's still pretty good. At least he didn't give us any mindless orders!"

Scarface's straightforwardness almost instantly ignited Kenser's anger.

"Go to the master? Human? Why? Why...why did you choose to serve such a weak and incompetent wretch! Answer me, Undead Knight!" At the end of the question, Kenser almost roared.

It can be seen that the racial talent of the Alsace King of Knights can indeed win the natural favor of knights, and the Scourge Knight in front of him will be furious because of his "Pearl Secret Casting".

But watching the enemy general "slander" the master he served in front of his eyes, Arthas still pulled out Frostmourne (imitation) with a displeased face.

"Needless to say, Your Excellency Kenser! Everyone will follow different masters according to their own ideas. Although my master is still weak, he has the ambition to embrace the entire multiverse, and leads us step by step in the future." On the road to victory. Therefore, Your Excellency Kenser, you are not qualified to comment on the master I serve. Draw out your sword, let us use the sword in our hands to defend the glory of each other's knights!"

Kenser was silent for a moment, and finally opened his mouth again.

"Dear knight, although I don't agree with your choice, I still have to pay my respects to your courage and persistence. You can be called to decide each other's fate with the ancient knight duel. It was beyond my expectation. In this world, there are fewer and fewer companions who can still stick to the honor and pride of knights!" Kenser pulled out the huge black sword from his waist, and stood upright. In front of his eyes: "I swear by the ancient chivalry spirit, I will fight you fairly here. But in order to make up for the gap between you and me, I will accept the common challenge of both of you!"

"No need. As the highest-ranking rune knight under the lord of the cemetery, I, Alsace, formally challenge you here!" Alsace rejected Kanser's proposal.

The soul fire floating in the eye sockets of the Scourge Knight Kanser blazed up.

"I, the 19th-level condemned knight Kenser, accept your challenge and am willing to decide each other's fate with sword!"

The two sides swore with their swords, and at the same time drove the horses under their crotches to retreat slowly, opening up a battle space of nearly a hundred meters. As a witness, Scarface retreated one mile away, watching the battlefield from a distance.

A level 16 Rune Knight against a level 19 Scourge Knight.

This kind of confrontation doesn't make any sense on the bright side, after all, there is a huge gap in the ranks. But if all the factors affecting the battle were taken into consideration, this duel was not as one-sided as outsiders imagined.

As the natural commander of all the undead knights in the Necropolis, Arthas has a clear understanding of the characteristics and power of the class of Scourge Knights. After all, there are several Scourge Knights under his command. Conversely, Kenser knew nothing about the mysterious profession of Rune Knight, which had never appeared before.

In Kenser's heart, he still regards the Rune Knight as the same as the Arcane Knight, who can cast some auxiliary low-level spells in battle. Regarding this point, as a level 19 condemned knight, Kenser, who is already immune to spells below level 3, expressed no pressure.

As the guardian knight of the 22nd level Legendary Lich Queen, Kenser's magical equipment is also the best of the best, but if it is put together with Alsace, it still looks a bit messy and unsystematic. Alsace is wearing a full set of magic steel armor, which is mixed with a large number of soul crystals, turning it into his own soul weapon, which naturally has a curse attack effect.

Even those fragmentary magic props are all excellent equipment that is more suitable for the Rune Knight profession, which strengthens Alsace's professional advantages in all aspects.

When these items are added together, Alsace, who is relatively low-level, is not necessarily weaker than Kenses.

However, these extra calculations and thoughts disappeared the moment the knight's long sword was pulled out. The two undead knights who have always been proud of the orthodox knights abandoned all distracting thoughts, and only their enemies were left in their eyes.

This is a tough challenge!

In order to keep himself suppressed in the following battles, Alsace squeezed out all the combat advantages of the Rune Knight profession.

Alsace raised the sword in his right hand, murmured a few words, and raised his left hand, and five swaying blurred figures appeared in front of his horse.

"Ghoul Calling!"

This rune knight's exclusive skill can summon multiple elite ghouls, and with the boost of Alsace's powerful magic equipment, the quality of the summoned ghouls is beyond anyone's imagination. Because it was actually mixed with Hogus, the ghoul king who had dedicated his loyalty to him.

Level 14 Ghoul King Hogus.

A level 16 rune knight summons a level 14 ghoul king. Such a weird thing is almost impossible to happen in the orthodox magic world, but it happened right before our eyes.

As the rising king of the ghoul clan, Hogus, who rose to prominence through life-and-death fighting, did not seek refuge with his fellow ghoul, Karoo, but chose to be loyal to the old cemetery powerhouse, Lord Alsace. It was precisely because of the existence of this slave contract that Alsace was able to summon him out of the air several levels in a row.

While summoning his own squad of ghoul minions, Arthas unleashes his aura of evil. Enveloped by the dense and hazy evil aura, the attack speed and movement speed of all party members are increased by 15%, and the common cooldown time triggered by all skills is reduced by 0.5 seconds.

So the next moment, Alsace launched the most shameless group fighting skills.
