MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 44 Southern Four (3700)

  Chapter 44 Southern Quartet (3700)

  …

  The significance of the sentry post was fully reflected in this encounter.

  Matthew never thought of fighting against the three evil organizations with his own strength, so after the failed attack and kill, his tactics immediately changed the focus, focusing on procrastination and temptation.

   And Ella lived up to expectations.

  In the sound of horseshoes.

  A total of eight knights came to Matthew to meet him.

   Among them, Brad in full armor and Zeller in civilian clothes took the lead. The remaining six knights were also armed to the teeth. Matthew knew that they were not members of the garrison, but members of the lord's guard.

   "The lord already knows, he ordered me to come here first, and the follow-up support is already on the way."

   Zeller got off his horse and stood side by side with Matthew.

  The knights moved forward slowly with their spears.

  Under the night.

  The nearly three-meter-long spear gave people a great sense of oppression.

   This is a serious military weapon!

  Even the self-important Edson was no longer rampant. He didn't dare to continue chasing, but hastily withdrew to the entrance of the mine.

  Brad and others are about to pursue.

  Matthew hastened to remind:

   "Be careful, those wooden boxes are weird!"

  The knights hurriedly tightened the reins upon hearing this.

  Moonlight shines on the wasteland ahead.

   But there were more than a dozen wooden boxes scattered around the densely packed kobold corpses, several of which had been knocked open due to falling, and the inside looked empty.

  However, Matthew's nerves were beating violently.

"careful!"

   "It's "molting gel", is there any developer powder? "

  He saw the message prompt.

  Knowing that the monster in the wooden box has sneaked over under the cover of night and its unique shape.

Without saying a word, Zeller smashed a glass bottle towards the open space in front of him. With a bang, the bottle shattered, and lavender smoke spread out from it. The glue was immediately dyed a thick layer of purple!

   This is developer powder, a powerful tool for middle and low-level adventurers to fight against invisible units. The disadvantage is that it is expensive, and even Matthew with wealth can't afford it.

  The molting gel that climbed the fastest has already approached everyone's position.

  The horse in the front suddenly raised its front hooves in fright and neighed.

  The knight barely maintained his balance, tightened his reins and retreated to the side.

  Brad has quick eyesight and quick hands, and he stabbed with a single shot.

  The cast iron spear easily pierced the jelly-like body of the molting jelly, but the latter was just nailed to the ground and could not move, and it seemed that it did not die.

   "If you can't kill them like this, you need to use fire or lightning, or simply dry the moisture in their bodies."

   As a mage.

  Maxiu’s basic skills are still passable. Shedding gel is a kind of mud monster, and its shape is transparent or translucent jelly.

  They don't move fast, but they are also extremely easy to be ignored.

Once a living creature accidentally touches the molting gel, the latter will expand rapidly, wrapping and devouring the living creature as quickly as possible, and the person wrapped in the molting gel will suffer great pain within 72 hours. Escaping and struggling, he could only feel the arrival of death helplessly.

   Their flesh and blood internal organs, including bones, will be easily digested by the molting gel, leaving only a little hair and a complete human skin in the end.

  The molting gel will spit out the human skin and hair after digestion, and leave it in place before setting off to find the next prey.

  Because of this characteristic, some evil spellcasters or organizations will store molting gels and use them to peel their own skin. Of course, there are not a few cases in history where they were accidentally swallowed alive because of storing molting gels.

   This thing is far less clumsy and harmless than it looks.

   Got a reminder from Matthew.

  Everyone started to clear the nearby molting gel.

  Zeller also carefully calculated the number of wooden boxes to prevent the molting gel from getting lost and leaving it nearby to harm the residents.

   And Matthew took advantage of this opportunity to cast the undead summoning spell on the pile of kobold corpses!

  …

  「Reminder: Undead Summoning was successfully cast, and you got 30 Silvermoon Kobold Zombies (average level LV6).

  You got 3 kobold skeleton soldiers (average level LV4)」

  …

  After a round of summoning, Matthew lost most of his mana.

  The kobolds who were fighting for the Scourge just now turned into undead and turned against each other.

   Except for three of them whose bodies were too broken by Eli and could only summon skeletons, the rest of the kobolds were all transformed into silver moon zombies.

  Compared with the silver moon zombies transformed by humans, they are smaller in size and lower in level, but they also inherit the characteristics of "tree skin", "power of moonlight", and "sacred moon armor".

   Except for the reduced agility, they are stronger than their former selves in other aspects!

   This is the first time Matthew has controlled so many undead creatures at the same time.

   But he didn't feel in a hurry.

   Instead, there is a feeling of playing an RTS game—

  Draw a frame in the consciousness and order the kobolds to attack, defend or garrison. The latter can usually be executed smoothly, but it is difficult to give more detailed instructions.

   To perform more detailed micro-manipulation, Matthew must learn super magic skills related to "group manipulation".

   With kobold zombies to help clean the molt gel.

  The pressure on the knights was greatly relieved.

   They began to turn their attention to the mine entrance.

   At the moment.

  People at the entrance also had a fierce dispute with Edson.

   "We were discovered by the Rolling Stone Town officials. That evil necromancer doesn't look easy to mess with. We have no weapons and lack of manpower. It's time to admit that this operation has failed."

  A one-eyed man left this sentence and walked into the mine without looking back.

  Although the rest of the people did not say it clearly, they all agreed with his opinion.

  Only Edson had gloomy eyes and was burning with anger, but he didn't mean to retreat at all.

  Kunna and Leon looked at each other, and both of them sensed something strange.

  But a few knights outside the cave had already bypassed the remaining molting gel and chased this way, and their eyes showed signs of retreat.

  For the members of the evil organization, having the courage to admit defeat and knowing how to protect oneself is the supreme principle of survival.

If Edson and the Scourge can really tear open the wounds of Rolling Stone Town through the launching ceremony as he said, and make people panic here, then they don't mind adding icing on the cake, and they will join forces with the Scourge to carry out an evil battle in Rolling Stone Town. Organized carnival.

   But the situation is not the case now.

  Rolling Stone Town is more difficult than imagined.

   Then go.

   is the best policy.

   More and more people retreated into the cave.

  Edson had a mocking smile on his face.

  Kunna and Leon frowned and walked a few steps into the cave.

   Not long.

  The person who had left earlier involuntarily retreated back.

"Step aside!"

  A rough voice came from the depths of the cave.

  Several peripheral members of the Silver Frost Brotherhood failed to dodge in time, and were actually thrown onto the stone wall by a giant hammer!

   Boom boom boom!

  The entire mine trembled violently.

  Everyone was forced to retreat to the entrance of the cave in surprise.

  Another feminine voice sounded:

   "How many times have I told you, don't hammer people against the wall. The soil in this place is soft, and if you do this accidentally, you will bury yourself alive."

   Accompanied by the voice of speaking.

  A dark-skinned, slender female drow stepped out of the shadows.

  There is very little fabric on her body, which can barely protect her vitals. Apart from her hot figure, what attracts everyone's attention the most is the scimitar hanging on both sides of her slender thigh.

  The scimitar has a large arc, and the edge of the knife is shining with silver light.

  There is no doubt that this is a powerful drow warrior (Note: Dark Elf).

   is behind her.

  A troll with a dark blue complexion and whose head almost reached the top of the cave was walking lazily.

   Compared to normal trolls.

   The most special thing about this troll is that he is too fat!

  He almost filled the entire mine tunnel by himself.

  The gangster boys who were knocked into the air just now were obviously the work of this ogre.

   "Hey, chick, no matter how many times you have told Shinwak!"

   The troll lost his temper at the drow warrior and said:

   "Sinwak's memory is only 17 seconds at most, it's useless for you to tell Shinwak this! It's useless!"

  The drow warrior rolled his eyes.

   Don't bother talking to this idiot.

  At this moment, everyone was forced to exit the cave. They watched the fat troll struggling to push his body out of the cave, and then simply fell to the side—

  Boom!

  The ground trembled slightly.

   The troll lay on the ground, moaning comfortably.

   "Sinvak, you are the most self-aware troll I've ever seen, but please tell me in advance when you lie down next time, I have a phobia of earthquakes."

   Two more people came out from behind the troll.

   The one who spoke was a wild boar holding a huge battle axe.

   And the fighters beside him are more noticeable—

  He is not tall, with a ring of fine scales and a small horn on his forehead.

  There is a long tail growing behind him. The scales on the tail are dark blue, exuding a strange luster in the night.

  Combined with his deep vertical pupils, the identity of this soldier is naturally ready to be revealed.

   Half-dragon people.

  …

   "Warning: You have encountered the Southern Four of the Scourge—

  Headhunter Lila (Drow Warrior/LV15);

   Nushan Xinwak (Troll/LV14);

  Hundreds of Mehdis (Half-Dragon Curse Swordsman/LV14);

  Banwen the Howling Butcher (Wildboar Warrior/LV14);

  …

  You have encountered underground coalition forces from the Underdark (kobolds, gnolls, gnomes, lemurs, etc.), the number of which exceeds 300! "

  …

   Look at the lines of information.

  Matthew's eyelids twitched.

  He guessed that the Scourge would not come alone with Edson alone.

   But they didn't expect the reinforcements from the other side to be so fierce, the four fourth-tier machos were nothing more than that, and the rest of the coalition came from the Underdark!

   "I'm afraid this is not a plundering ceremony at all. The Scourge wants to attack Rolling Stone Town!"

   Zeller looks very serious:

   "We may have misjudged the real purpose of the enemy!"

   Matthew is also ready.

  He looked at the entrance of the cave from a distance, and countless kobolds and jackals poured out of it, and they were still distributing weapons to the members of the Brotherhood of Silver Frost and the Wither Order!

  At this juncture, the other two organizations could not retreat, and they could only be forced to jump on the bandit ship of the Scourge.

   War.

   At least one small battle is inevitable!

   "We may need to retreat first."

   Zeller suggested.

   "Wait first."

   After finishing this sentence, Matthew was staring at the direction of the cave entrance intently.

   Zeller followed his gaze and looked over.

   Suddenly saw the magician Edson who was cursing at his opponent!

   "Do it."

  Matthew suddenly whispered.

  The air beside Edson twisted, and several half-broken bottles hit him and his feet one after another. The next second, the gnoll's forehead, back, and chest burst into flames!

"who?!"

   The jackal roared angrily, and smashed out the mace in his hand, but it missed.

   Peggy, who was stealthily stealthy and succeeded in one blow, ran fast.

  Before the people beside Edson could react, the Tauren Skeleton ran away.

   Only the hasty firefighting actions of others remained.

  However, what Peggy threw out was the "blazing glue" and "burning bottle" that Matthew got from the arsonist.

   Once the flame is lit, it cannot be contained.

   What's more, Edson's hair has become the best fuel for combustion.

   Just a few seconds.

   In the process of jumping up and down, Edson's black hair was burned off.

  The weird blood mist emerged again.

  But the power of resurrection bestowed by the Midnight God can save the life of the wolf man, and there is also a chance to quickly regenerate his fur, but the most important few furs no longer exist!

  …

  「Hint: Peggy used blazing glue to burn the gnoll's fur (including the two "exile documents" on the chest hair

  …

   "It turns out that there are still two copies hidden. It is really deliberate."

  Matthew smiled in relief.

   Next second.

   Just when Edson furiously ordered his men to charge towards the oak forest.

  A bright circle of light flashed across the open space ahead.

  A hill-like skeleton appeared out of thin air.

  It turned its head and looked directly at the direction of the hole. The faint soul fire in its skull was as frightening as the lamp of death.

that moment.

  Everyone felt like the sky was falling apart!

  …
