Chapter 412: The Three Giants Who Added Fuel to the Situation
In the past, in the Aesiriya plane, when Colin and his companions encountered the Voltalins, they had to be wary of the dead warriors being used by the other side to turn against them.
Now that we have arrived at the Skeleton Plane, the situation has suddenly turned around. Not to mention how cheap the slave creatures are, the fact that they can be used again by Rose, Abaddon and others after death is well worth the money.
Buy once, use twice. Although the natives of the Skeleton Plane are numerous, when it comes to consumption, even the undead creatures that can withstand heavy loads cannot withstand it. This is the result of Colin and his team intentionally controlling the speed of expansion.
The wizard base is still under steady construction. This is the valuable experience gained from countless foreign wars in the wizarding world. Before thinking about victory, you must think about defeat first. Only by being invincible can you stabilize the situation.
There have been examples of wizard bases being razed to the ground in foreign wars, but those were extremely rare cases. With multiple wizard tower defenses that were staggered and complemented each other, both the wizards and slave creatures in the base could have a place to recuperate in peace.
The war these days was generally advantageous, and Colin and the Della family were in no hurry to capture cities and territories, so they arranged all the wizards, knights and slave creatures into three shifts to attack in turns.
The Della family was obviously unaware of the relationship between Rose and Hedram. When scheduling shifts, perhaps by coincidence, Hedram was assigned to be Rose's subordinate.
You read it right, they are Rose's subordinates. Because in the evaluation of everyone in the Della family, Rose, as the lord of a place, at the peak of level two, is no less than the old patriarch of the Della family, Julius. If it weren't for the existence of Colin as his master, he felt that he could not command them.
As for Hedram, he had just been promoted to level two and had volunteered to be employed, so he had to obey the arrangements.
Although Hedram had been kind to Rose in the past, Rose had regarded herself as a member of the family since she followed Helen and Colin. If she had the chance, she would repay Hedram's kindness. There was no need to mention anything else.
(For the situation of Rose and Hedram, you can also read my short story, Pirates of Rio.)
As for Hedram, as a man, he was still willing to keep his word. He once promised someone that he would not make things difficult for Rose and would take proper care of her if he had the chance.
But at the beginning, Hedram still had some illusions about the former Principality of Denton and did not want to leave the military. Hedram also never provided the opportunity for the extraordinary power that Rose had been seeking.
As a last resort, Rose went out to look for opportunities and met the necromancer Pugna, and later got married to Colin, and she joined Helen's family's baronial mansion.
Now, when old friends meet again, it has been more than a hundred years later. Different circumstances have led to different growth trajectories. No matter what thoughts we had in our hearts at the beginning, they have all been talked about and forgotten.
Although Hedram was very dissatisfied with Rose's transformation into a lich, he was still basically competent as a knight cooperating with Rose in the attack.
Abaddon was in another shift, and his partner was Lao Tang. As a light wizard, Lao Tang had a great deal of restraint on Abaddon. And as a capitulator, Abaddon didn't have too many concerns and just hoped to save his own life. His performance was pretty good these days.
As for Beit, of course he followed his employer (master) Colin. He already had a tense relationship with his neighbors, so now it was good to follow Colin and he could fight with them without any scruples. Anyway, no matter what the outcome was, he would leave the Skeleton Plane, so what was there to be afraid of?
Of course, working hard to output is not a big deal. The key point is that his employer Colin has taken the opportunity to draw several tubes of his blood. He said he was going to do some research.
And he was not the only one doing the research, he and his friends also joined in the research on the origin of his bloodline. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Beit always felt that Colin's research was really targeted.
The cultured serum was also experimentally injected into the body of a centaur, but whether it was because his bloodline was too strong or because its compatibility with the centaur was too low, the centaur eventually exploded and died due to blood problems.
I told you, if you can study the origin of my blood in one go, then all these years of inheritance of our blood clan has been in vain. If you want to develop descendants of the Centaurs, you still need me to give you the first embrace.
However, Beit said that he looked down upon all Centaurs, regardless of gender, and that this was not included in the service content agreed upon with Colin, so he could have rejected it without any hesitation.
Colin and the Della family are slowly and leisurely conquering the surrounding territories, but the three giants of the Skeleton Plane can't wait any longer.
Although those aliens have taken over almost one-tenth of the territory of the Skeleton Plane, the other party's offensive is getting slower and slower, and there are signs of stopping. The three giants are also getting a little restless.
How can this be possible? You don't want to fight before you've even tested your opponent's quality?
Under the covert machinations of the three giants, more forces from the Skeleton Plane joined in the crusade against the aliens.
As mentioned before, there are not actually many natives of the Skeleton Plane. Instead, they came here by chance and evolved. So strictly speaking, the Skeleton Plane is quite inclusive, as long as you can stay here.
Therefore, the expansion of Colin and the Della family would not have triggered their resistance at all unless it involved the interests of the other party.
But with the instigation of the three giants, things are different. These are the three most powerful people in the skeleton plane. Those small lords dare not disobey them. After all, spells that directly strike the soul are not pleasant at all.
Colin and his team, who were planning to withdraw their offensive after a few more sweeps, encountered an even more fierce counterattack.
The field of vision was full of undead creatures, whether they were the lowest-level skeleton warriors, or the slightly higher-level dark knights, or corpse wizards, ghosts, etc., their numbers were in the hundreds of thousands, and the skeleton warriors even reached millions.
This time, Colin and his men were no longer actively shrinking their front line, but were passively retreating to the vicinity of the wizard base.
In just the first day of fighting, hundreds of thousands of "people" fell on both sides, and this was when Colin was able to make secondary use of them.
The army of phototrophic worm slave creatures that Colin had been reluctant to take out was also sent up.
You know what, it's really useful. A few concentrated fire attacks can knock down a large group of undead creatures. Not only that, few of the undead creatures that are shot to death can stand up again.
The battle between light and darkness has remarkable results.
The only regret is that, like the Fallen Demons that Colin had bought before, the spells they can cast each day are limited, and Colin does not have a large amount of mana potions for them to use.
Even so, it still reduced the consumption of a lot of slave creatures, which was a crucial link for the wizard base that was about to be built.
