Chapter 446: Gathering
The establishment of the Neutral Alliance has transformed the "World" from a battle between two tigers into a three-legged pattern. Although it maintains an impartial position on the surface, it has the same effect on many actions of the Church of Light and the Alliance of Resistance. However, because the "Dark Holy War" lacks constraints compared with the "Dark Holy War", it basically depends entirely on the subjective decision of the Council of Darkness. In fact, the restrictive effect on the Alliance of Resistance Forces is greater, so that we can no longer choose the target of attack at will. After all, under our effective control, those small and medium-sized mercenary groups with poor strength but are involved with us try their best to restrain their actions as much as possible to avoid increasing the number of changes.
The hostility has become the target of "Dark Holy War", and the targets that the Light Church can choose for the three continents in the east, south, and north are actually very limited. In the east, south, and north, except for some players who resolutely choose to change their positions, most of the leaders of the mercenary groups cannot be in the Light profession, but many mercenary groups and the Light Church maintain close ties. They may have become the targets of the "Dark Holy War" alliance to launch the "Dark Holy War". However, according to the conditions for joining the neutral alliance, they can now choose to be harbored in the neutral alliance and cannot be at our mercy anymore. It may seriously affect the smooth implementation of the "Dark Holy War" plan.
The most depressing thing should be Qiu Shui Changtian. He has already chosen the goal of launching the "Dark Holy War" and has obtained support from the leaders of several major factions such as Long Xingtianxia and us. After Qingwu Feiyang's operation, it is his turn to make his plan. Unfortunately, the neutral alliance was announced at this time. On the list of members announced, the attack target he selected was among them. In this way, even if we find more reasons to launch the "Dark Holy War" against the mercenary group, we cannot attack directly. We must first negotiate with the neutral alliance to strive to resolve the dispute in a peaceful way. Otherwise, the enemy we face may be the elite coalition sent by the neutral alliance led by the five neutral professional artifact holders such as the Fearless Warriors, etc., and the enemy we face may be the elite coalition sent by the neutral alliance led by the five neutral professional artifact holders such as the Fearless Warriors.
. Especially when the neutral alliance has just been established, they must establish and maintain their authority and status, and it is even more impossible to compromise, and perhaps the attitude will be even tougher. In the situation of three-legged squad, if we resist the alliance of forces and the neutral alliance are in conflict, the Church of Light will naturally benefit from it. Therefore, in order to avoid causing conflicts and conflicts with the neutral alliance, the Dark Council held an emergency meeting and passed the resolution through consultation: Any mercenary group that joined the neutral alliance will generally not consider listing it as the target of "dark jihad". First, praise the field of the neutral alliance, and then decide on countermeasures based on the development of the situation. It is impossible to absolute neutrality, it depends on whether the joint meeting led by the Fearless Warriors is eastward or westward.
However, this will help to promote my plan as soon as possible. Hua Mantian is the deputy senator of the Light Senate. The Huadu Mercenary Group, with him as the leader, naturally is not qualified to join the neutral alliance, and the launch of the "Dark Holy War" on them will not be affected. Anyway, Qiu Shui Changtian's proposal has been aborted, and the Resistance Force Alliance has not yet competed with me. It should be relatively easy to convince other directors to support the proposal to attack Huadu again, so as not to give people the neutral alliance. Once the neutral alliance is established, our resistance alliance will not dare to launch the "Dark Holy War" again, or lose the impression of the goal of launching the "Dark Holy War", as if it was afraid of them, indirectly weakening its majesty.
Of course, I can't be too hasty about this matter. I have the reason to attack Huadu and the confidence to destroy Huadu. Others may not be able to have the same understanding. I agree with my point of view. First, I have to communicate well with Long Xingtian and Light Dance Flying, especially the Flying Eagle in the Desert and Qiushui Changtian to obtain their support. Moreover, considering that the planned miscarriage may be a big blow to Qiushui Changtian, perhaps in extreme depression, I could not suppress my excitement at the Dark Council meeting and directly criticized the Neutral Alliance. After his emotions calmed down, it would be better to discuss the matter with him.
I will naturally not be responsible for the public relations work that communicates privately and states my interests. Xue Wuxia and Afeng, who are also the dark director, are definitely more suitable candidates. My main responsibility, who has always been regarded as the strongest combat power, is still to strengthen my own strength as much as possible. I hope that when fighting the battle of the meeting hall of the Huadu headquarters, facing the highest honor, top players such as Shengtian can perform better and increase the chance of falling into Huadu.
After a anxious wait, I finally waited until Khufu was about to complete his evolution and officially became the old man. I rushed to where he lived in advance. On the one hand, I was eager to know what abilities the old man had, especially the special equipment "pyramid" that he possessed, and whether he could play a role, and whether he could challenge the hell dragon; the most important thing was to deal with the other eleven old man headed by Jefferson, Kuthabble, and Vellentov, to see if he could know more things - using the special contact information that only exists between the twelve old man, to determine the time and place of the appointment. Meeting the other eleven companions is also the primary task that the new old man must carry out, and welcoming and congratulating the newly promoted old man is also the basic etiquette of those qualified persons.
Once the old man enters the space in the "pyramid", in the place where the "pyramid" stands, it may be because of the large concentration of yin energy and the concentration is relatively high, fog will slowly grow nearby, becoming thicker and thicker, covering the large areas around the area including the "pyramid" in the fog, which looks like the fog area that is common in the "uncle space", and is not easy to be discovered by other undead outside. This is also one of the means used by the old man to hide and protect himself. If it were not for the connection of the "soul contract", the thick fog was vast, I would not have found the exact location of Khufu.
Except for the few white bone dragons who usually serve as protection guarding far away places, I did not bring more subordinates to come here to avoid disturbing the first gathering with the other eleven old men. Anyway, old men can only launch formal challenges to compete for the qualifications of the Pharaoh. In addition, other forms of direct conflicts in private are never allowed to occur, so as not to cause unnecessary internal fighting to be unfair, resulting in unnecessary damage and endanger the overall interests of the mummy clan. As long as Khufu has not officially launched the challenge of fighting for the Pharaoh, he should not face direct danger. Therefore, I am not worried that Jefferson and others will have direct actions that are unfavorable to Khufu and me. This meeting should be safe.
After waiting for about an hour, the originally quiet "pyramid" suddenly flashed with black light, and it began to tremble slightly, causing the ground to vibrate and make a slight "boom". This should be the sign that Khufu has completed his evolution and is about to break out of the pass. As time goes by, the "pyramid" began to slowly leave the ground and float into the air, but it is still blocked by thick black light between it and the ground, so it is impossible to see the situation inside. It rose by about five meters.
The "pyramid" stagnated, and the black light emitted became increasingly strong, completely covering the body. The whole process lasted about four minutes. The black light quickly shrank and became denser, revealing the hazy figure of Khufu standing in it. The majestic and huge "pyramid" has shrunk to the size of a hat, swirling above its head, and the speed is getting slower and slower. At the same time, it is slowly pressing down. In just half a minute, it has been fastened on its bald head and turned into a special piece of equipment that can be worn on the head to move around.
Becoming the old man, except for the extra "pyramid" on his head as a hat, the most obvious change is that his body has grown taller, from about 3.6 meters to nearly 4.5 meters now. His body shape also looks more burly. Of course, his movements have not become clumsy because of this, but they are more sensitive. The appearance of the fire bone staff held in his right hand has not changed, but the length has increased by more than three meters. The body of the staff has become thicker, with a diameter of about 7 or 8 centimeters. There is basically no big change in other aspects. He is still the same face, with thick strips of cloth wrapped around the body, and it still appears dark red.
After checking Khufu's attribute information, the race is a mummy, and it is also specifically indicated that it is a mutated mummy with a fire attribute constitution. The title has become the old man, the level is the ninth upper level, but it is not an ordinary black, but marked in silver font. It should be a level between the ninth upper level and the tenth lower level, just like the green bone dragon, which is between the ninth upper level and the tenth lower level. Obviously, Khufu has greater development potential because of its fire attribute constitution. Of course, Khufu has just evolved into the old man now. Although the level may be half a level higher than the other dark attributes, it is just a better innate foundation. In terms of strength, it will not be an opponent of Jefferson and the old guys. It needs to absorb a lot of energy and grow for a while.
My own skills are still the two I used to be a pharaoh - the "Crazy Wand" and "Thunder Strike". Of course, the power will definitely be strengthened to a certain extent, and there are some changes in details. In particular, the "Thunder Strike" cancels the limit of 10% of the mental power consumed each time, and changes it to a maximum of 15% of the mental power each time. Below this limit, you can freely decide the mental power that needs to be used, and greatly strengthens the effect of shock regression. Once hit, even if the opponent is not given.
No matter how much damage it causes, it may affect the opponent's actions and give itself more opportunities. No wonder when fighting against Osasula, it feels that it often uses skills similar to "Thunder Strike". It is not too powerful, but Khufu is always easily forced to retreat for no reason and loses a lot of attack opportunities. If it weren't for the shock effect accompanied by "Death Ripple" that had a significant impact on Osasula, and it would not be able to seize the opportunity, Khufu might have suffered a great loss.
What interested me the most is the special equipment "pyramid". Unlike the undead royal equipment such as crowns and imperial robes, the "pyramid" does not have the attribute of increasing the upper limit of mental power. Its main function is to strengthen the defense ability of the old man himself. At the same time, as a powerful protective prop, it provides a relatively safe refuge and accelerates the gathering of Yin Qi, which facilitates the old man's absorption and improves his strength faster. It can also help the old man obtain faster mental recovery through the large amount of Yin Qi stored in normal times. It can also control the "pyramid" to release a "cursive barrier". The coverage range is at least ten meters around the body and a maximum of hundreds of meters. It is completely under the irradiation of cursed lights, so it is impossible to avoid it.
, can be activated at will, most of them rely on the ability of the "pyramid" and do not require much mental power to consume. Some regrets are that only I, who have a "soul contract" with it, will not be affected, and other subordinates will also be cursed when entering the attack area. What makes me even more regretful is that the way to expand the "pyramid" to cover the opponent inside and fight is only used when accepting the challenge of the pharaoh. Usually, it is only used to hide and protect yourself from living in it and practice, and cannot be used to target other goals, forcing the opponent to fight in an extremely unfair environment. Perhaps only when you become the legendary pharaoh, you have the ability to fully open up the functions of the "pyramid" and guide them to exert stronger power.
When the evolution was completed, Khufu had already used the unique contact information between the old man, which could only conduct some simple information exchange, but could not sense the other person's position. He contacted the other eleven old man, and invited them to meet. When they fought with Osasula that day, they were hiding nearby and should not be far away and could soon arrive.
As Khufu put away the "pyramid", the thick fog shrouded around quickly dissipated and restored his original visibility. After I carefully examined Khufu's status information, I didn't wait long, and the other eleven old men arrived as promised, and almost at the same time, they appeared from all sides.
Eleven old men are obviously divided into three camps. There are seven on one side, and there are two on the other side, among which one is the tallest and burly old man, almost about five meters, and at least half a head taller than his other companions. According to Osasula's introduction, there is no doubt that the one surrounded by six old men should be Jefferson old man, who is known as the strongest. The other two old men, Kuthabble old man and Verentov old man, who can compete with him.
Laodu has only one supporter and is obviously at an absolute disadvantage. It is said that in order to maintain the already precarious situation, Kuthabble and Vrenzov once jointly put pressure on Jefferson. If it dares to challenge their only companion, it will not hesitate to challenge it. It would rather fight for both sides and let the third party get the advantage, and never compromise. It shocked Jefferson. The three parties restrained each other and did not dare to act rashly before they were sure enough.
"I'm Jefferson."
"I'm the old Kuthab."
"I am Vrenzov's old man."
"I am Mr. Khufu**."
"I am Khufu's master, A Dai, the great magician of the undead."
After reporting the names one by one, Jefferson looked calm and smiled like other old men. At least on the surface, he could not see that he was hostile or hatred because Khufu replaced the seat of Osasula who supported it. After waiting for everyone to introduce it, he spoke first: "As a new old man, Khufu, you must have many things you don't understand, which will inevitably affect your own growth. As a senior, I have accumulated a lot of experience and should be able to help a little. I wonder if you are willing to accept my guidance?"
Accepting Jefferson's guidance? To put it nicely, it is clear that it is to win over Khufu's support for it. Not to mention that Khufu's tragic experience was directed by him behind the scenes, and indirectly killed his former friend Osasula. Even if Khufu was willing to let go of his hatred and slander, it would inevitably force Khufu to give up his qualifications for the Pharaoh. Once he made a promise, he would not be able to regret it. This would definitely not be allowed.
"Hmph, you are the seniors, are we the juniors? In terms of strength and experience, I, Kuthab, are also qualified. Don't say it seems that you are the most capable."
"Jefferson, don't think about things too simply. Khufu** always has a mutated fire attribute physique, and the master of the undead magician Ah Dai is backing. The future development is limitless, and it is not impossible for me to surpass you and me. I am afraid I may not be able to look at your guidance."
Before I could say anything about Khufu and I, Kuthabble and Vrenzov had already spoken one after another, one directly confronting each other, while the other was more sinister, and it seemed to be provocative, and it was not a good thing either.
"Hmph, everyone's strength is right in front of me, what's there to fight for? Half of the Twelve Olds have chosen to accept my guidance. Who is stronger and who is weak can be seen at a glance. I believe Olds Khufu will make a wise choice. And Olds Khufu, do you know that Osasula, who was replaced by you, is a junior who I pay very much attention to. He has a close relationship with me, and he is defeated and died like this. It really makes me feel a little sad. Now that it is missing by my side, I feel quite uncomfortable. If you can agree to accompany me, it may make me feel better and not so regretful." Jefferson's words have hidden threats, and it has begun to show its strength.
