The Rise of the Cemetery

The "Blood Throne" organization established by the Blood Demons takes Solmar City on the 38th floor of the Abyss World as the Holy Land of the Blood Race. After more than half a year of rapid development, a large number of qualified Blood Warlocks have been cultivated.

This group of blood warlocks is different from most of the cemetery creatures. They don't have too conspicuous undead characteristics. Even from their flesh and blood to their speech and behavior, they are like the most gentle and elegant human nobles. As long as no one is boring to throw a "God's Insight" on them, it is the belief test and alignment test of ordinary priests and paladins, and don't even try to discover the undead essence deep in their souls.

As for the lawful evil detected by the camp, please, which great nobleman in the human world does not belong to this camp? Advocating a hierarchical and strict ruling order, but behind the scenes, they do everything they can to steal and plunder. Seriously speaking, the ways of human nobles are the same as those of the devils in the bottomless abyss. It's just that one is good at covering up, while the other is more naked.

A large number of blood warlocks sent by the bloody throne, some have even taken root in religious countries such as Alvindale and Karnas. As for a loose country like the Talanta Mercenary Country, it is the focus of blood warlocks' infiltration. Here, the transaction mode of only asking about money, not about the origin and destination of the goods has benefited the vampires a lot.

As an important interface between the Necropolis and human society, many spoils that could not be digested inside the Necropolis were also dumped to Talanta through the mercenaries and caravans formed by the vampires. And the slave trade prevailing in Taranta also allows the vampires to taste the delicious "blood food" from all over Klein's plane without leaving home.

Therefore, after more than half a year of spreading the net, a pattern with the Blood Warlock group as the bright side and a large number of ghost killers as the hidden line has basically formed. In this way, Li Xun basically got rid of the information dependence on the thieves guild, and he could strengthen the penetration of personnel and materials in the area of ​​interest in the large cemetery.

In the Talanta Mercenary Kingdom, the apparent power of the Bloody Throne is the "Blood Rose" Chamber of Commerce formed by a group of blood warlocks. Wholesale and retail customization of scrolls, wholesale of enchanted weapons...

The processing and manufacturing of such large quantities of magic items is undoubtedly the most profitable of all business transactions, but it is also the most taboo.

In fact, most of the markets related to magic items mentioned earlier have been monopolized by the Alchemy City within the Mage Guild, and large transactions of magic items generally need to be purchased there. After all, scattered alchemists in other countries simply cannot compete with their systematic and large-scale alchemy cities, so they have always occupied the bulk of the magic item trade.

Now the Blood Rose Merchant Guild claims to be able to provide large-scale magic items, and indeed produced a lot of high-end magic equipment, potions, and scrolls in the early stage. Therefore, it has become a big hit in Talanta and has become a large-scale trade guild organization envied by everyone. .

In order to protect its own interests, the Blood Rose Chamber of Commerce formed a Blood Rose Mercenary Group and recruited a large number of elite fighters as peripheral guards, but its core backbone of the Chamber of Commerce is still a large group of blood warlocks.

There are still a large number of talented spellcasters. If this is exposed, it will undoubtedly attract more people's covetousness and doubts. Therefore, the Blood Rose Chamber of Commerce only relies on the blood derivatives created after the "First Embrace" to cope with the basic scenes. The real high-level officials have always kept a low profile and secret, living the lives of underground nobles in the major cities of Talanta.

The reason why Li Xun chose Muranhe of the Talanta Mercenary Country as the meeting place for the high-level Mage Guild was because it was a neutral area that the Mage Guild had not yet infiltrated. Fall into the enemy's trap without preparation.

However, in order to avoid exposing the Blood Rose Chamber of Commerce prematurely, Li Xun did not choose the core city of Hestor (the headquarters of the Blood Rose Chamber of Commerce) where the Tiger Mercenary Group is located, but chose the more remote Mulanhe.

After talking with several core blood warlocks staying at Mulanhe in the Blood Rose Chamber of Commerce, Li Xun basically understood Mulanhe's general situation. After instructing them a few questions that need attention, Li Xun chose a secret room to rest, quietly waiting for the meeting time to arrive.

To be honest, the words delivered by the great holy astrologer were vague and ambiguous, and he didn't even reveal who the high-level person who planned to meet with Li Xun was. But after thinking about it again and again, Li Xun still accepted the other party's meeting request.

But the promise is the promise, but the necessary preparations still need to be done.

People don't hurt the tiger's heart, but the tiger hurts people. During this period of time, Li Xun has shown up and participated in a lot of major events. It would be a joke to say that no one is eyeing him for this. Legendary spellcasters are all old and cunning people. In the past, either because Li Xun's strength was too weak to deserve their attention, or there were more important things that distracted them, they kept letting the young mage hop around on the stage.

But now...

The United Council of the Undead has clearly shown signs of decline. A new undead force has unexpectedly emerged, and it will also emerge in the Klein Continent. This will undoubtedly touch the real interests of all parties. Therefore, this meeting most likely determined the basic attitude of the Mage Guild towards the cemetery.

It's just that Li Xun's foundation in the Mage Guild is still too shallow, and it's not clear whether this is the unanimous decision of the group of old monsters, or just a temporary idea of ​​some of them. This undoubtedly made him very passive.

The Battle of Blackwood Lake, which ended not long ago, made Li Xun understand that challenging the Undead Council in an all-round way now will only cause the newly rising Great Cemetery to suffer a heavy blow in vain. The cemetery cannot afford the consequences of forcing a dog into a poor alley.

With the current strength of the Great Cemetery, even if a large number of undead subordinates of the two undead kings were successfully reorganized, it would be comparable to the Undead Union Council. Once a full-scale war breaks out, unpredictable crises will inevitably follow one after another. Even if the Great Cemetery wins this match with all its strength, it will inevitably be a miserable victory, and then I am afraid that it will face the backlash of the entire Klein Continent's indigenous forces.

The Mage Guild may be timid and hesitant in the face of the Undead Council, but if it has to deal with a greatly weakened undead invader, it will definitely go forward bravely and pour out its heart and soul. After all, if the undead were wiped out, the once huge territory of the Moror Hede Kingdom would become unowned. Wasn't it a matter of course that it would be occupied by the victors?

As for the surviving royal family of Morrahde, that is not a problem at all. Either control it as a puppet, or simply have an accident. Isn't it easy for the giant mage guild to clean up an exiled royal family that regained their homeland all by themselves?

And those churches in the south couldn't let go of such a great opportunity. As long as someone climbs up and a large number of noble lords are willing to come to Morro Hede to grab the territory in the name of "purifying evil", I am afraid that the second war to wipe out the undead will break out in minutes.

It was precisely because he was very clear about this situation that Li Xun never dared to start a full-scale war with the Undead Council. Instead, he stalked and killed the opponent's strength, but never really went all out. Otherwise, the last time Blackwood Lake and the large cemetery dispatched were not the 40,000 random soldiers who made up the numbers, but the real 300,000 cemetery elites.

So at this moment, what is the position of the ambiguous mage guild, this point Li Xun is eager to know. Because this is directly related to the strategic choice of the large cemetery in the later stage.

If the mage guild is strongly hostile to the large cemetery and tends to intervene deeply in the civil war of the undead, then Li Xun can only continue to reduce the number of "remnant troops" in the cemetery, and use the gecko tail-docking method to avoid greater losses.

But if the Mage Guild is still ambiguous and plans to wait and see, then Li Xun doesn't mind bringing in another batch of cannon fodder troops from other worlds to continue the low-intensity war with the Undead Council. Anyway, backed by two other world planes and competing in the thickness of the sea of ​​soldiers, the Great Cemetery never fears anyone.

Even in order to sharpen a group of real elites, the Great Cemetery is actively participating in the bloody battle in the abyss recently, and plans to turn it into a training ground for the Cemetery. After all, if other regions want to provoke such a large-scale war, they will always provoke the intervention of the ruler of the plane. How can it compare with the bloody battle in the abyss that has been fought for tens of thousands of years and has not yet been determined.

Muranhe City, Scarlet Battle Banner headquarters.

Just as she sent away the person in charge of a large business group, Nina squeezed her aching forehead, and before she could return to her bedroom, she was stopped by spy spy Hua Lunce.

"What is this?" Nina asked angrily, looking at the origami that Valence handed under her nose.

"look by youself!"

Nina also had nothing to do with this old subordinate who had followed her for more than thirty years. But when she unfolded the origami and saw the long list of items on it, her whole head went off with a buzzing sound.

lapis lazuli 1000 grams

Subterranean magic iron alloy 700 grams

Ningshen Flower 40g

Devil King Grass 50g

Earth Dust 200g

"Why are there so many? Didn't he just purchase a batch of magic materials last month? What kind of experiment is he doing that needs so many magic materials?..."

A series of angry questioning blurted out, but in the middle of speaking, Nina stopped her mouth helplessly. Hua Lunce is just a middleman, how can she control the crazy mage who only knows to stay in the magic tower and conduct mysterious experiments all day long.

Nina rubbed her temples, her headache getting worse.

Although the Crimson Battle Banner mercenary group occupies a large city and makes a lot of money every day, the daily expenses of tens of thousands of people are not small. Coupled with the occasional purchase list of magic towers, even a large mercenary group feels a little overwhelmed.

"Didn't that mad mage say anything?" Nina asked bitterly.

"He said that this is a necessity for him to complete the final summoning of the Qiling. As long as he completes it successfully, his strength will increase exponentially, enough to help you take the nearby Solan City." The petite and exquisite Hua Lunce did not With a heartless sneer, he finally repeated the words of the mad mage.
