Chapter 123 Attacking the Cursed Fortress
"Huh? Someone is coming."

The sudden sound of the alarm interrupted their discussion. Everyone looked up and saw a hazy figure in the mist to the south.

Although I can't see its appearance clearly for the time being, the way it walks doesn't seem to be a ghost.

"alert!"

Lei Ming, Zhang Chaosheng and Chu Cheng immediately drew their weapons and shields and stood at the front. The other team members quickly took their positions, still arranged in the same team as before.

Ten seconds later, figures emerged from the mist and revealed their true appearances. They were fifteen Adventers like them.

This team had two leaders, one was a tall and strong man wearing full plate armor and carrying a large shield, and the other was a bald wizard wearing an exquisite red robe.

The team saw Lei Ming and the others standing ready and signaled them to stop. The red-robed wizard stepped out and said:
"I know the rules. I'm just asking if you want to cooperate. We don't have to leave immediately."

Lei Ming frowned, looked at Zhang Chaosheng and Chu Cheng, and asked:
"What do you think? Should we unite with them?"

Zhang Chaosheng thought about it and nodded:

"Although we will have to share half of the profits if we join forces with them, there is strength in numbers. We don't need to spend any effort to lure out the monsters. We can just attack the city head-on."

"Chu Cheng, what do you think?"

Lei Ming and Zhang Chaosheng both looked at him.

Chu Cheng pondered for a moment and nodded:
"That's fine, it's better to solve it quickly."

Lei Ming nodded and said:
"In that case, let's cooperate with them."

After saying that, he waved his hand to signal to lift the alert, walked forward alone, chatted with the person in charge on the opposite side for a few words, and then pulled Zhang Chaosheng and Chu Cheng to discuss the cooperation with the two representatives on the opposite side.

Although the two people on the opposite side were somewhat puzzled as to why a newcomer who was only level 28 was allowed to make the decision, they did not say anything.

"We have more people, so we can attack the city directly. By the way, how many tanks and mages do you have?"

The red-robed mage Su Beisheng immediately replied:
"Two tanks, three magic systems."

"We have three tanks and two magic systems."

Lei Ming pinched his chin and said:

"According to the default rules, both the magic system and the tanks will receive a 10 gold subsidy, and there will be a 5 gold subsidy for meritorious service."

"can."

"no problem."

"What about the tactics? Should we just attack head-on?"

"It seems that this is the only tactic for a frontal attack."

"OK then."

"There are fifteen of us, and you are fifteen as well. We will form six groups of five people each. Five of the groups will have one tank and one magician each. The last group will be mobile. We will support whichever group is in danger. How do you think?"

"no problem."

Chu Cheng watched them discuss it and agreed with them.

They are all veterans and have probably fought in the Cursed Fortress more than once, so they must have more experience.

This grouping is basically the same as the original group and there is no need to re-group.

They went back and informed the other team members of their decision, and no one objected.

Action involves risk, so how could they not be happy to have more people to share the risk?

The less profit you make, the less it is; your own life is more important.

Half an hour later, the two teams split into six teams, with five teams splitting up in the front and the last team staying at the back.

Then each team began to prepare. Feng Lingxing took out a scroll and began to cast a spell. The mages of other teams were also preparing to summon some cannon fodder.

As several mages began to cast spells, Chu Cheng suddenly felt something and turned to look in the direction of the Cursed Fortress. At this time, Feng Lingxing, who had summoned a five-meter-tall earth element, also seemed to have sensed something and looked over, whispering to him:
"The necromancer in the Fortress of the Damned has noticed us."

"The Undead Wizard Tower in the Cursed Fortress can greatly enhance the strength of the Undead Wizard. By combining the magic power of all the Undead Wizards, they can cast powerful war-level spells that can kill people instantly. Don't use any life-saving methods and damage reduction skills you have. Keep them for backup."

Chu Cheng bowed with some gratitude and said:

"thanks for reminding."

"You're welcome. I'm doing this for myself. If you die, who will help me?"

"Don't worry, I'm here to keep you safe."

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

The team slowly moved forward and soon entered the magician's casting range. Feng Lingxing began to chant and cast spells under the protection of Wang Jing and Yao Ning.

The mages in several other teams not far away also stopped and began to cast spells.

But the spell only lasted three seconds, and as the magic wave became stronger,

In the distance, a faint light suddenly shot up into the sky from the center of the fortress shrouded in death clouds. The dark clouds gathered into a huge sphere, which cracked in the center to reveal a dark pupil, and an extremely thick faint light shot out.

"Be prepared to resist!"

Chu Cheng, who was standing in the front row, decisively activated the skill "Solidity" attached to his equipment, and a layer of clear light rose up to protect his whole body.

Other members of the team used various methods, some used scrolls to cast protective spells, and some took undead protection potions.

"Buzz!"

The extremely thick dim light swept past, and Chu Cheng felt that everything in the world turned gray and white in an instant.

"Hint: You are being watched by the Eye of Death, and are making a Fortitude saving throw."

"Tip: Your hero template (immortality) is in effect, and you are immune to instant death effects."

"Hint: Death's Eye causes you 10000 points of magic damage, your talent reduces magic damage by 100 points, your magic resistance reduces magic damage by 26%, Blood God's Body reduces damage by 24%, and your Solidity skill reduces damage by 40%. You take 950 points of magic damage.

"call!"

The grayness of the sky and earth quickly disappeared, and Chu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He looked back and saw that the others were stumbling around with pale faces, but they were all alive. They were now retreating quickly to distance themselves from the Cursed Fortress.

Chu Cheng stands in front and bears the greatest damage head-on, and the damage he bears from behind will be weakened to a certain extent, so he does not need to endure the terrifying damage of up to 10,000 like him.

Feng Lingxing, who was standing behind him, was fine, but his spell was interrupted.

But it was not a big problem, he was mentally prepared.

The other teams nearby also took a hit from the Eye of Death, but everyone had fought through the Cursed Fortress more than once and knew how powerful this move was, so they were prepared and no one was hurt.

They are all professional tanks, so they must have talents for damage reduction. At level 40, they have equipment that is stronger than his, and are specialized in the tank profession. In addition, they have damage reduction skills, and necromancy protection potions to absorb damage. With the addition of multiple damage reduction methods, they were able to easily carry on.

After a short rest, everyone recovered and approached the Cursed Fortress again, and several mages began the second round of spells.

Just like before, when the Undead Mage in the Cursed Fortress detects huge spell fluctuations near the fortress, he will react, usually by casting Eye of Death to interrupt.

This situation will greatly consume the power of the Undead Tower after a few rounds, and the Undead Mage in the fortress will send a large number of ghosts and undead troops out of the city.

This was exactly their tactic, forcing the Undead Mage to mobilize his troops and defeat them one by one.

Chu Cheng’s second round of damage reduction was to activate Blade Storm, which reduced damage by only 30%. The final damage he endured was 2000, but he still managed to handle it easily.

After waiting for five minutes in the third round, most of the skills had already cooled down.

Chu Cheng now regretted not using Blade Storm in the first round. The cooling time of the solidity is as high as 15 minutes, and the damage reduction is higher. It is better to save it for the critical moment.
