Chapter 343 Monarch-level Undead, Ghostly Tyrant!
Chapter 343 Monarch-level Undead, Ghostly Tyrant!
"Where the Abyss of Fiends has appeared, it leaves behind a very dense aura of death. It won't be long before many warrior-level and commander-level undead gather there. Your task is to eliminate those high-level undead near the city walls," Councilor Zhu Meng said.
"Thank goodness! As long as I'm not going to investigate the Abyss of Fiends, I'll be perfectly fine," one student said, patting his chest.
"Rest assured, Your Excellency, any spirit that dares to approach the city walls will be eradicated."
"This is a great opportunity to earn credits, and I'll get angry at anyone who tries to stop me from doing so."
"Ahem, I'm not interested in academic credits or anything like that. I just want to do my part to protect the ancient capital!"
Upon hearing that they didn't have to deal with the Fiend Abyss, the mages in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, while the students of the Ancient Capital Academy were all incredibly excited, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
This time, helping the government defend the city walls will definitely involve killing the undead. Killing the undead means earning a lot of credits, and there are also many high-level mages here, so safety is not a problem.
Jiang Han had no problem with guarding the city walls. Not only could he earn system points, but he could also quickly accumulate the energy needed for Soul Beads, upgrade his undead army, and so on. The benefits were simply too numerous to count.
"Roar~~~!!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the dim sky to the north, shaking the city walls violently and making the eardrums of everyone on the walls ache.
Councilor Zhu Meng, Chief Instructor of Flying Horn, and Lu Xu, the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern City Wall, all changed their expressions and turned to look at the huge black shadow in the distance. It was not difficult to tell from its aura that it was a lord of the dead.
"It's the Ghostly Tyrant! It's trying to use the deathly aura brought by the Abyss of Fiends to gather more undead and breach the north wall," Zhu Meng said angrily.
"This is troublesome. This lord of the dead already commands an army of millions of undead, and now with the help of the Abyss of Fiends, it will be even more unstoppable. We must request reinforcements," said the strategist beside Lu Xu.
"It's already very difficult to deploy personnel," Military Commander Lu Xu said, shaking his head.
Chief Instructor Feijiao also rejected the advisor's suggestion, saying, "Our forces are limited, while the undead are endless. If we don't last until tonight, the North City Wall will be completely breached by this undead king. As for the North District..."
Although Chief Instructor Feijiao didn't say what he was going to say, everyone present knew what he meant. If that were the case, the North District would be a sea of corpses and blood.
"It seems we'll have to carry out the plan we devised earlier," Zhu Meng said, frowning.
"Sir, isn't that too dangerous? If we accidentally get trapped by the undead army, the consequences are unpredictable," the staff officer said.
"Chief of Staff Zhu," Zhu Meng said righteously, "the city I'm in will absolutely not allow a single demon to wreak havoc again. Although we don't have enough troops to withstand this undead army's attack, as long as we kill that undead lord, there's still a chance."
Jiang Han admired Zhu Meng for his willingness to lead from the front. He had heard from the old man that the reason Zhu Meng held such a high position in the Magic Association was not only because of the forces that supported him, but also primarily because of his courage to lead from the front.
Just as Zhu Meng and the others were struggling with how to stop the fallen king's offensive, a man wearing a black long sweater walked over with a calm and confident smile on his face.
His arrival drew everyone's attention in the hall, especially the members of the Hunter Alliance, who were the most surprised.
Several excited hunter mages greeted the man who walked into the hall.
"The Hunter King, it's the Lone Xiao Hunter King!!"
"Hunter King, when did you arrive in the ancient capital?"
"Brother, who is this guy? Why do you call him the Hunter King?" A member of the Magic Association asked the hunter mage next to him, utterly puzzled.
The hunter mage looked at the Lone Hunter King with admiration and said eloquently, "You don't even know the Lone Hunter King? He is not only one of the famous strongmen in the Hunter Alliance, but also a top 100 expert on the Xuan Ranking."
This Du Xiao Lie Wang was an old acquaintance of Jiang Han and his group. They had met when the Scaled Demon Mother occurred at Mingzhu Academy. However, by the time he arrived, Jiang Han and Mo Fan had already dealt with the Scaled Demon Mother in the gymnasium.
The alluring man in leather under the command of the Lone Hunter King noticed Jiang Han and his group and walked directly towards them, smiling as he said, "What's wrong? Tired of killing demons? Looking for a change of pace in this ancient capital?"
"What kind of change of pace? One of our brothers in the ancient capital is in a bit of trouble, and we're here to help," Jiang Han said.
"Why did you guys come to the ancient capital this time, you demon men? It's not because of the undead plague, is it?" Mo Fan said with a smile.
"The ancient capital is currently plagued by a plague of undead, how could we busybodies not come?" the demonic man said.
After chatting with the demon man for a few minutes, Jiang Han and Mo Fan turned their attention to Zhu Meng, Chief Instructor of Flying Horn, Military Commander Lu Xu, and Du Xiao Lie Wang, who were talking.
"Haha, Du Xiao, you've come at the perfect time!" Zhu Meng greeted Du Xiao, the Hunter King, with a smile as soon as he saw him.
"Consultant, I never expected that this summons would actually bring the renowned Hunter King Du Xiao here. This will greatly increase our chances of winning." Chief Instructor Feijiao also smiled.
After greeting Zhu Meng, Fei Jiao, Lu Xu, and the others, Du Xiao, the Hunter King, turned to Zhu, the Staff Officer, and said seriously, "Staff Officer Zhu, although I, Du Xiao, cannot guarantee everyone's safety in this hunt for the undead, I can still increase our chances of winning."
"At worst, we can bring them back alive. With the appearance of the Abyss of Evil, the Ghostly Tyrant will be able to command a large number of undead. If we cannot kill it immediately, more undead will awaken, and our northern city wall will definitely have a breach."
Since Xiao Lie Wang had already said so, what could Staff Officer Zhu say? He could only agree to Councilor Zhu Meng's plan to hunt down the tyrannical ghost.
"We super-level mages can handle the Ghost Tyrant, and those bone generals and corpse generals around him might not be a big deal to me, but what about the White Yin Ghost horde led by Ghost Minister?" Chief Instructor Flying Horn said.
"Indeed, the White Yin Ghosts are numerous and will cause us a great mental shock. And if I remember correctly, none of us here cultivate mental techniques," said Military Commander Lu Xu.
Zhu Meng remained silent for a long time, then looked at the more than forty mages in the hall, and finally said apologetically, "Everyone, I'm sorry, the situation is now more serious than we just described. I need your help to kill the Ghost Tyrant."
"Of course, the Ghost Tyrant will be dealt with by us super-level mages, and what you need to do is clear away the biggest obstacles for us, especially the White Ghost Minister and the White Yin Ghosts he commands."
After Zhu Meng finished speaking, no one in the hall spoke. They had all heard what Zhu Meng and the others were saying. However, guarding the city wall was one thing, but going outside the city wall to fight the undead army was another. One wrong move and they would perish outside the city.
