Necromancer's Second-Original Chat Group

"How long can Longmen hold out after the war starts?" Wan Qi asked a direct and pointed question.

"We should be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive," Wei Yanwu gave a reassuring but vague answer.

Wan Qi nodded and said to Wilting via mental communication: "[What this old dragon means is that this offensive is beyond the limits for Lungmen. Even if reinforcements arrive, it will basically come at the cost of destroying Lungmen.]"

The enemy has a significant advantage, but their greatest advantage actually lies only in the Ursus Fourth Army.

Wilting's finger stopped in the area of ​​operation of the Fourth Army, which was the only regular Ursus armed force in the vicinity, and also the only organized armed force.

"The core city of Chernobog and the Fourth Army are the enemy's two biggest cards, but the Fourth Army is still the biggest. We don't know if the enemy will stop military operations if we stop in the core city of Chernobog, so the safest way is to deal with the Fourth Army and remove the enemy's source of force."

At this point, Virtin looked at Wan Qi, who gave an OK sign.

What is the probability of success?

[As long as they don't immediately relocate to a place thousands of miles away, I'm absolutely confident.]

Then Wan Qi looked at Wei Yanwu and asked, "How much is the Fourth Army worth?"

Wei Yanwu was taken aback, then looked at Wan Qi in shock and said in a deep voice, "Lord Wan Qi, this is no joke."

"At a time like this, you think I'm joking? Of course, some preparations are needed. I'll be bringing two people to help."

"Are two enough?" Wei Yanwu asked.

"Governor Wei can arrange two more."

“Good!” Wei Yanwu was overjoyed (indeed, he had a dragon face) and immediately made his promise: “Anything worth 100 billion Lungmen Dollars, you can choose whatever you like.”

A hundred billion sounds like a lot, but if a hundred billion can wipe out the Ursus Fourth Army, then it's too cheap.

Moreover, Wanqi certainly doesn't just want Longmen City. Many of its items are physical goods, so the pressure on its cash flow isn't significant. Even if it wants all advanced assets, the issuance volume of Kowloon Coin and quantitative easing of 100 billion won't be a problem at all.

"Then I'll set off now. Xiao Ke, Hong, follow me." After calling the others, Wan Qi looked at Wei Yanwu.

"Seventh brother, ninth brother, you two follow Lord Wan Qi."

"Yes, my lord."

Two more men in black cloaks joined Wan Qi's group, and the five of them officially set off.

Soon, a helicopter bearing the Lungmen Guard Bureau insignia took off and flew towards the Ursus Fourth Army.

Inside the helicopter cabin, Wan Qi began to plan what he would do next.

The simplest method is naturally to summon the undead legion, especially the elite ones that you create yourself. Unless the combat power of the Fourth Army is all internal guards, killing them all is just a simple matter of time. It can also replenish a lot of undead materials, but it will consume a lot of Wan Qi's stay time.

Summoning and creating undead on the spot is not impossible, but the enemy is a regular army after all, and the losses would be too great, the time too long, and there would be too many uncontrollable risks. If I were to go into battle, the huge consumption would also reduce the time I could stay. Once I leave, the safety of Veltin would depend on Rhodes Island. Although there is trust between the two sides, if possible, it is best not to force myself into a situation where I only have one option.

Therefore, only one option remains: deploy troops to kill the enemy.

Wan Qi began searching his memory for the information he needed and quickly found the most suitable option, which was also one of the options he had considered from the beginning. As the helicopter entered the designated location, the terrain there made Wan Qi make up his mind.

Wan Qi took out three pieces of parchment and began to write and draw on them, making no attempt to hide it from anyone. The seventh and ninth brothers curiously glanced over, then quickly looked away.

No, it's all geometry, numbers, and formulas; looking at it for even a second feels like it's going to make me lose my mind.

After completing only three magic scrolls, Wan Qi made the following arrangements:

"Seventh Master and Ninth Master placed the scrolls in these two positions. Red brought the scrolls to this position, and Little Carter and I are in the center of this equilateral triangle."

"Sir, isn't this position a bit too far from the Fourth Army?"

The seventh brother knew about formations. Many mages in the Great Yan Dynasty were experts in this field. The Great Yan Dynasty's Originium Arts also had strong national characteristics. But no matter what kind of formation it was, when defending, it would keep the enemy out, and when attacking, it would surround the enemy. However, Wan Qi's formation to annihilate the enemy was a full 20 kilometers away from the Ursus Fourth Army. But this equilateral triangle formation had a side length of only 3 kilometers and a perimeter of only 9 kilometers. It was impossible for it to reach the enemy.

"It's alright. Once the formation is complete, none of the Fourth Army units twenty kilometers away will escape. Let's begin."

Since Wan Qi had said so, Lao Qi and Lao Jiu, who had come to help, naturally obeyed the order and immediately began to work. During this process, Wan Qi also pulled someone over to help.

In the courtyard of Sichen Tower, the mistletoe is tending to the plants it has planted.

Under her meticulous care, the entire Sichen Building is the most vibrant and thriving place in the Foundation's headquarters, brimming with life. As far as the eye can see, there is abundant vitality. Tijisheng is very satisfied with her current life and wears a smile on her face every day.

“Mistletoe, over here, over here.” Wan Qi suddenly appeared and waved to the Druid.

“Wan Qi? Didn’t you go on a mission with Virtin?” Liu Jisheng asked as he walked over.

"I am indeed on a mission and need your help. Are you free now?"

“Of course.” The mistletoe took out its staff and asked, “What do you need me to do?”

"Come with me."

"Ok."

Parasite entered the portal, and the two arrived on the land of Terra.

Is this... still Earth?

As a druid, the shrub parasite is extremely sensitive to the life force in its environment. Life itself is a natural and enormous carrier of information, so while others might be momentarily confused when suddenly transported to another world, the shrub parasite will immediately realize that something is wrong.

“I’m working on a land called Terra. The enemy is about to attack, and I need to prepare a magic circle to wipe them all out. But the ritual of this magic circle requires at least two operators. I can perfectly match death or life, but I’m only one person, so I’ll leave the life position to you. You don’t need to do anything, just stand there. There will be an unexpected gift for you after it’s over.”

"Then I'll have a little hope."

As he spoke, the parasitic plant disappeared into the forest and quickly moved to the location designated by Wan Qi. At this moment, Mr. Jiu and Mr. Qi returned, and Hong soon followed.

"Is there anything else we need to do?" Mr. Seven asked.

"Take a helicopter, fly a little further, and admire the wonders of magic."

At this moment, the Ursus Fourth Army, located 20 kilometers away, was unaware that they had been targeted by some kind of danger. As the elite armed force of the Ursus Empire, they quickly moved here after receiving orders. Based on past experience, they knew that a tense and exciting battle with Yan was likely to follow. Therefore, after taking their positions, they were on high alert and ready to charge towards their target at any time, ready to quench victory with their own blood.

"It's a truly perfect terrain."

Wan Qi drew an equilateral triangle in the air with his finger, and then the triangle transformed into some kind of strange energy body, which began to float in Wan Qi's palm. Its structure was sometimes three-dimensional and sometimes two-dimensional. Sometimes it would disappear briefly, but it would eventually return to Wan Qi's hand.

[Wanqi, what is this? I feel a strong vitality, but it seems to be more than just vitality.]

Faced with the parasitic question posed through mental communication (the core members of the Si Chen Squad now all possess mental communication amulets), Wan Qi patiently explained: "This is the effect of Magic Circle No. 3. It constructs a natural cycle of life, decay, and death, and then uses it as a weapon to redefine the fate enveloped within it in a short period of time."

Is this the Aurora Mysticism's understanding of nature?

To be precise, this is a magical formula derived from the analysis of nature by the Olympiad of mathematics. After years of development, it has become the current Magic Circle No. 3 - the Principle of Nature.

This doesn't sound like a method of explanation from the occult.

[Because this is magic. Of course, mysticism is also magic, just a different kind of magic. If you're interested, I can teach you the life magic of the Druid system.]

【It’s a deal! 】

The structure of the magic circle is now complete. The three magic scrolls that Wan Qi deployed earlier were compressed magic circles. Using them directly would have no effect. After they were activated, it would take some time for the compressed magic circles inside to spread out and cover the entire space within the triangular structure. Now that the coverage is complete, we can proceed to the next step.

生命是什么？

This question sounds very sophisticated, and countless people are obsessed with it, offering all sorts of explanations based on their own understanding. And on this path, necromancers have gone the furthest.

For a long time, most mages mistakenly believed that necromancers were sorcerer-type mages whose "practical skills outweighed theoretical research." In reality, however, necromancers' dedication to the subject of life far surpassed that of any other magical class. Ironically, the Holy Light spell targeting necromancers was actually something necromancers accidentally created while researching the fusion of fire and life magic. Initially named "Soul Scattering," it could directly target the soul fragments that created necromancer creatures. After all, apart from Wanqi, no other mage in that magical world had ever created necromancer bacteria. Soul fragments were the core driving force of necromancer units; without them, they would simply fall apart.

After a long period of practice and research, necromancers, together with druids, finally came up with a three-cycle formula: the cycle of life, decay, and death.

Life is the beginning of something from nothing, decay is the process of dying, and the curses of aging, disease, and fragility developed on this basis are another manifestation of necromancy. The final reset is death, and death is the beginning of new life. Nature thus cycles endlessly, life goes on.

What magnificent power! Can it be used by me?

Of course, it is possible. As long as this three-cycle system is artificially constructed within a certain range, one can possess the power to control life and death. Although it is not enough to distort the laws of the world, it can temporarily accomplish some things that are impossible under normal circumstances.

For example, briefly resurrecting the deceased in this cycle to give their last words or identify the murderer.

But just as the exorbitant cost that transcends life and death is always heartbreaking, the use of this magic also depends on the right time, place, and people. Most importantly, it consumes a great deal, especially soul fragments.

Previously, Wan Qi really couldn't use it, but recently he has received a lot of soul fragments, which has reached the minimum standard for using magic circle number 3.

As for the problem of the enemy being very far away.

Hehe, when magic circle number 3 is activated, all designated life forms within a radius ten times its circumference will be drawn into it.

Wan Qi's target was the Ursus Fourth Army, which was 20 kilometers away. The circumference of the No. 3 magic circle he deployed was 9 kilometers, and ten times that would be 90 kilometers. They had no way to escape.

"This is? "

The mistletoe stared in astonishment at the trees that were growing wildly around her. The life energy emanating from these trees was almost overwhelming her, but when they actually touched her, they stopped with incredible gentleness, simply enveloping her and then growing upwards along with the intersecting and merging trees.

The cycle of life - the tree of life.

Meanwhile, at another location three kilometers away from the parasitic shed, tombstones rose from the ground, completely submerged in an aura of decay and decay. It was as if the place had become a giant fermentation tank, where all life, after crossing that line, began to rot and twist uncontrollably, heading towards death.

The cycle of corruption - the decaying graveyard.

Wanqi is the simplest of the three points, with only a black hole-like point slowly expanding and rotating, eventually swallowing everything into it, yet it is also unidirectionally connected to the cycle of life.

Death loop - back to zero.

With the construction of the three cycles, the triangular phantom in Wan Qi's hand began to gradually become dazzling.

"Sacred Number 3, the Law of Nature, activate!"

Without any warning, suddenly, everyone in the Fourth Army disappeared.

It cannot be said that they disappeared. These people were actually put into the three cycles of the natural order, but Wanqi's goal was to eliminate them, so the final result of the three cycles would all point to death.

An abundant life is like an excessive supplement, leading to death.

The end of decay is the Grim Reaper's scythe, pointing towards death.

The arrival of death is the final declaration, pointing to death.

Ultimately, the three were united, and the 53319 soldiers and officers of the Fourth Army disappeared forever in Magic Circle No. 3, while the Triple Cycle Triangle in Wan Qi's hand was completely filled at this moment.

Flesh, bones, and fragments of the soul—these spoils ultimately allowed Wan Qi to acquire a beautiful and powerful work of art.

A constantly changing triangle, which is the manifestation of Magic Circle No. 3 – "The Principle of Nature".

This is also the biggest gain from this trip.

Chapter 66: RUA Cat Girl

(I need inspiration from the bullet comments and the help of monthly tickets, comrades, o(-r,,-r)o)

Ursus Fourth Legion Camp

Mr. Seven and Mr. Nine felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the empty camp.

All the equipment was still in place, even the clothes those people were wearing were on the ground, indicating that they were teleported in naked, without even their underwear being damaged, and disappeared without a trace in an instant, without any power to resist.

"What kind of power is this?"

"I don't know, but..."

Mr. Seven and Mr. Nine trembled all over. They felt that this place was very dangerous. Although there was no one else around, the sight of the lonely equipment made it seem like this place was some kind of strange and unpredictable place.

Let's get going!

As for the spoils, those belong to Lord Wan Qi. They were just here to check if there were any survivors who needed to be finished off.

Now it seems that not a single surviving ghost can be seen.

On the other side, Wan Qi handed the "Sacred Number 3 o Natural Principle" to the mistletoe.

"Thank you for your help. This is a token of my appreciation."

"I didn't help with anything, I was just practicing standing meditation."

The parasitic plant was telling the truth; he had only been standing there from beginning to end. Wan Qi had carried out the entire ritual himself. If this counted as helping and deserved compensation, then the foundation would have enough people willing to help Wan Qi to fill the equator.

As for what Wan Qi held, although she didn't know what it was, she could sense the power it contained. It was extremely precious and rare, and ordinary people didn't even have the right to take a look at it.

"This can help you with your cultivation, and it will also make learning nature magic much easier later on."

Wan Qi strung the "Natural Principles" together with a special silk thread, and then casually put it around the neck of the parasitic plant.

Suddenly, the mistletoe felt she had a completely new understanding of life, and the whole world seemed different to her. If other mystics in the fields of life and nature obtained this thing, they would be overjoyed.

"Thank you, this is a very precious gift. What is it called?"

“Sacred number 3 o Natural principle.”

"Is this how magicians name their children?"

"Pretty much. From 1 to 9, there are corresponding sacred number magic rituals. After that, there are combination rituals. After all, magic is the miracle of mathematical mystery, and mathematical mystery is the foundation of magic. An excellent magician must be an excellent mathematician."

“A rather novel idea, I’ll remember it.”

"Oh, they're back. I'll take you home first."

"it is good."
