The lord is red again.

Chapter 521 The Coolest Mount

The Scholar's Ancient Ruins are located in the middle of the central area. To reach them successfully, you must go through many obstacles.

Crossing over the stench-filled lair of fallen beasts, these monsters covered with gray, scaly skin were the first to change after the magic ring was broken.

The key joints are covered with bone spurs, the lower body is slightly slender but the upper limbs are sturdy.

They occupy most of the main roads and will block any enemy that tries to approach, and sometimes it may be impossible to distinguish between friend and foe.

Further back was the dirty campsite.

Not only does the sealed city guarded by the Ring Knight have soldiers, there are also many soldiers roaming around in other areas. The difference is that the Ring Knight's men will remember their "mission", and even if their brains go crazy, they will still regard guarding the seal as their main job.

And those wandering soldiers, wearing the "Sunless City Armor", retained the abominable habits they had in their lifetime and wandered around.

Fortunately, all of this can be avoided.

Zan Yue Dao and his two good friends form a standard fixed team, and other teammates are often replaced.

When following the troops to the center, the Moon-Slashing Sword stopped.

"Basalt Shield, Dragon Scale Sword, should we go straight to the main quest, or do the side quests?"

The main quest is the Abyss of Destruction released by Lind, and [Black Knight Rebellion 2.0] will definitely come to an end here.

The side quest is to attack Wuyu City.

The mission comes from Magdalena, who is being led by the undead to the Novice Village. Unfortunately, the undead are almost forgetting about her, because she is always hiding in the Novice Village, and every time she gives the undead a fixed mission to attack the Fog and Rain City, making many undead regard it as a side quest that can be completed by the way.

Completed by the way.

Dragon Scale Sword said: "Since we are here."

The three of them were silent.

"But Lind and his men's rapid march seemed to be heading straight for the Scholar's Ancient Ruins."

They don't know where the ancient ruins of scholars are, and no NPC explains it directly, but it is likely related to the abyss.

"Will you miss the key plot?"

"Probably not."

"If all the undead people don't do the main quest and instead do the side quests, maybe they won't miss it. But if some people don't like doing the side quests..."

It is true that many people hate the endless question marks when playing games, so they will not answer any of them, concentrate on completing the main storyline, and then brush their own equipment. The proportion of such people is very high.

Some people are very good at calculations and like to improve their numbers. They can complete side quests at any time. It is more in their interest to complete the main quest and level up before completing the side quests. Maybe at that time they will give up the side quests and look for copies that are more convenient for brushing materials and experience.

Not everyone can guarantee it, but there are obviously quite a few people who are willing to try the branch line.

Zhan Yue Dao watched the figure of the NPC guide disappear on a path as thin as a blade, and after deciding to search for guides online, he and his teammates headed to the nearest camp.

The Fog Rain City, transformed by magic and manpower, was built on this broken wasteland.

This was once the territory of humans in the Demonic Land. Countless powerful knights were stationed in this vast continent. Until the end of the world, this land became a stage for war.

Without high walls, every building is a part of Wuyu City, but they are forced to disperse into countless points.

After dodging the fallen beasts and the wandering armored soldiers of the Sunless City, they flexibly entered the castle in front that had lost its walls.

War once swept through this place. The nameless castle had thick clouds overhead, blocking out the light. When you get close to it, you'll feel a heaviness in your heart.

Keep the soles of your feet on the floor.

Looking up with the Moon-Slashing Blade, there was a gray sky.

He looked around and said, "This should have been a hall. It should be a very important building in the castle."

The tilted campfire brazier in the distance seemed to answer his question.

"Light a lamp!"

A flash of fire flew out, the brazier was lit, and the jumping flames turned the abandoned ruins with low visibility red.

Boom!

There was a huge noise.

There was no heavy object hitting the ground, just a golden light falling down, but the strong wind made the three people stagger to this and that.

It was a man wearing gorgeous golden magic armor and a helmet that completely covered his head, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.

There are rings of gleaming energy on its left and right shoulders.

"Here comes the monster!"

The Moon-Slashing Blade quickly entered combat mode, its eyes fixed on the enemy who dared to show his blood bar to it.

[Ring Knight·Dusk Lord, lv70]

【Life: 95000/95000】

"The life bar is not long."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the enemy's health was not too low. If he had 17 health and 19 shield like Lind, there would be no need to fight him. There would be no point in being his enemy if you couldn't kill him in one blow.

"The three of us are definitely no match for this. This is a BOSS-level opponent."

The Moon-Slashing Blade could detect a hint of uneasiness in the air. The opponent looked like an enemy who was good at speed or magic, and his health bar was so long, so he must be very formidable.

But considering that this is the BOSS of the side story, the strength should be relaxed a little.

"Call someone?"

"They did it to us."

The next moment, the three of them were resurrected.

The news of discovering the BOSS could no longer be hidden, and the undead immediately organized a temporary subjugation mission. Anyway, Lind's team was not moving very fast, so there was enough time for them to kill a side BOSS first, and then decide on future arrangements after dividing the spoils.

The only problem is that it is difficult to divide the troops when there are too many of them, and it is difficult to defeat the enemy when there are too few of them.

But soon they won't have to worry about that anymore.

The Dusk Knight released a terrifying flame. The bumpy ground was filled with flames, and flames even overflowed from it. Billowing black smoke flew into the sky, and then woven together, enriching the black clouds above the castle.

A terrifying avenue that was several hundred meters wide and countless kilometers long was created, with no end in sight.

The undead people immediately became quiet.

Not to mention destroying the BOSS, they couldn't even see the BOSS.

……

"They're all gone."

The King of Black Phosphorus was a little anxious. In all these years, he had never seen such lazy soldiers.

He was slow and unhurried when he went to the battlefield, and would even urinate occasionally. He would not fight if he said he would not fight.

Now seeing all the undead leaving as if they had agreed on something, the King of Black Phosphorus is about to lose his temper. The audience has all left, who is he going to fight for? How is he going to make himself famous in the future?
Fortunately, Lind is still there. The King of Black Phosphorus had never thought of asking the undead for help before. Their role is just to be witnesses.

"I'll be back, don't worry."

Just as Lind said, it didn't take long for the undead to return in large numbers, with a unified tone.

"That f*cking creature is simply not something we can defeat at this stage. Its stats are superb, its health bar is less than 10, and it can attack with an unlimited range."

The undead cursed and complained that the game required people to balance on their feet, and they didn't care about their own gaming experience at all.

"I want to quit the game!"

Linde: It’s a deal, double happiness!
What a pity.

After the experiment, the undeads became even more certain that with their current strength, they could not even defeat the side quests.

"So Magdalena was crazy when she issued the quest, without any transition?" It was time to scold the NPC again. Linde led a group of undead people who had just been killed by the boss and had no intention of fighting to the Scholar's Ancient Ruins.

"I will sell a special map here, which is a map of the Scholar's Ancient Ruins, including the Scholar's Cave, Scholar's Ruins, and Scholar's Farm. It can also provide real-time feedback on the location, and the price is cheap."

Lao Hei on the side: "..."

When the war was about to begin, he was still doing business.

But the better he is at doing business, the more he can help promote his fame.

While Lao Hei was still thinking, the map in Lind's hand had already been cleared.

Real-time positioning is not a technology supported by the Mechanicus, although it is now possible. However, in order to ensure the "authority" of his ability, Lind used the ability of the Story Master to create a map that combines "painting" and "text".

It can provide feedback on the undead's own location, and will even update the enemy's location and the location of NPCs with tasks later.

It is much more mature than his earliest maps.

It is not difficult for the dominant power to do all this.

An "information cocoon" woven by Lind himself. If the undead become more dependent on the map in the future, it will be more convenient for Lind to influence the game content of the undead.

"Are we waiting here?" asked Lao Hei.

Not all of the undead are present. There are only about 50,000 to 60,000 undead here at this moment.

"of course not."

Linde walked towards the Dragon's Rest Cliff and immediately saw the dark mountain that stood out among the mountains.

He could clearly feel the breath of the Black Phosphorus King in there.

That should be the real body of the old black dragon, which possesses the top combat power of 7 rings and is the mount of Hastings, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Given the opponent's strength, if he doesn't want to be discovered, the undead should not be able to feel it, including the "blood bar". It is so free when you become powerful.

Lind looked at the undead who were wearing various equipments and shining with different magical lights. It was like a rainbow ocean. The undead were waiting for the war to begin without any fear.

"Oh my god, we can't even defeat the side quest boss, how can we defeat the main quest boss?"

"I guess it should be the trigger of a key plot, and it has to be a plot-killing one."

The undead have long been accustomed to the gaming experience of not being able to be the protagonist. From the launch of the server to now, they have always been the sidekicks, and no one has become the savior.

The undead who were still struggling with the side story in the distance quickly gave up their motionless war of aggression and chose to show up at this critical moment.

The undead in other areas are approaching at a faster speed, hoping to catch up with the war.

The battlefield was as hot as a burning furnace.

……

Abyss had no idea what was going on outside, as a familiar aura approached.

It was the one who betrayed him, and he brought with him a team of undead whose strength was barely acceptable.

The war started very abruptly.

Lind took the lead in the attack, and the gods under his command obeyed Lind's orders and would never move forward even a step without permission, as they might be instigated to rebel if they were not careful.

The molten armor transformed into a flaming moth that spread its wings and completely wrapped Lind's body. Under the gaze of the undead, his body grew wildly and eventually turned into a giant.

The ghost cloak also spread out, like a corner of a dark cloud being torn off from the sky.

His feet stomped on the ground, making a rumbling sound.

The body moves quickly forward.

Everyone present has more or less witnessed Lind's strength, and has a very clear understanding of his strength. At this stage, he should have few rivals, but he cannot be said to be invincible. After all, he was once affected by the abyss.

A figure appeared in the darkness ahead. Compared with Linde who had transformed into a giant, he looked like a necromancer hiding in the darkness, with a sinister aura.

"Where's the health bar of the Abyss?"

[Abyss, lv89]

【life:? ? ? 】

His strength is exactly two levels higher than Lind's.

Unlike the undead, Lind felt a strong sense of oppression the moment he saw the abyss. He tried to speed up his running speed and then exert all his strength.

A heavy cavalryman wearing heavy black armor appeared out of nowhere. He was about the same size as Lind, holding a broad-bladed two-handed sword in his hand. The two sides rushed towards each other and collided.

But the abyss clearly underestimated Lind.

His speed was far greater than his strength. His exquisite swordsmanship created a whirring storm and easily deflected the heavy cavalry's two-handed sword.

The opponent's sword accidentally stabbed the ground crookedly.

The ground began to shake again.

Linde raised his sword and struck him hard on the chest with the hilt, causing him to stagger and fall backward.

The power increased again and the flames burned.

The flames from the explosion made the temperature of the entire battlefield continue to rise.

An ordinary 5-ring is no match for Lind at all. As for the 6-ring, the severely damaged Abyss is reluctant to produce it, which would cause heavy bleeding.

The big sword slashed at the tiny "ant" on the ground.

But a black shadow flashed by and Lind's body fell sideways.

He was badly injured, but his body was healing quickly.

The Abyss obviously also discovered this. His war with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse continued, and he knew the characteristics of each enemy by heart.

"Uh!"

Linde stepped back, holding his chest and breathing heavily.

Undead:?

It fell down just like that. Did I skip some plot?
"Do you want to kill them?" someone was still asking.

"Just look at the plot."

It's obvious that he's going to recite his lines.

Lind opened his eyes, suddenly raised his head and roared, a dragon roar coming from his throat.

At the same time, everyone saw the phantom of the dragon rider appear behind Lind. There was no need to analyze it, as many undead knew what was going on.

Everyone knew that Lind was the professional "mentor" of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

The ground began to shake.

After receiving Lind's reminder, the King of Black Phosphorus thought that it was finally his chance to make his debut, and he twisted his body hard.

The mountain collapsed and the sleeping black dragon awakened.

"Ow!!"

Come, worship the great King of Black Phosphorus.

The Black Phosphorus King flapped its wings and landed behind Lind.

Just by twisting his body, the black phosphorus on his body began to rub against each other and emit flames.

"Fuck, this is definitely the coolest mount!"

King of Black Phosphorus: Hmm?

The coolest mount?
