Chapter 30 Catherine's Battle Plan
The Holy Spirit Corridor is the only ground passage to the sanctuary of ancestors. When it is necessary to worship ancestors every year, people need to carry the offerings dedicated to their ancestors, walk along the Holy Spirit Corridor and reach the place of worship. After kowtowing in the sanctuary, the priests in the clan lead the heads of each family through the soul tunnel and finally arrive at the sanctuary of ancestors. As for the rest of the tribe members, they kneel down and wait in the place of worship until the sacrifice is over, and then return to their own tribe together. Over the years, countless orcs have come and go in the Holy Spirit Corridor, leaving deep marks on the earth.
Before the undead appeared, two metal oil lamps were fixed on the two walls of the canyon every ten meters. Several tribes around that jointly worship this ancestral cemetery took turns to assign a tomb guardian every year to keep the oil lamps ignited all year round. In the canyon less than two kilometers long, several stone benches were placed on both sides at any distance for the crowds who came to participate in the sacrificial activities. Some elderly people were resting and using when they were tired on the road.
But now, these are gone, or they can't see their true colors. For a hundred years, on this wet prairie, in this ventilated area on both sides, the metal oil lamp has long been rusted and peeled off, and the stone seats have long been buried in dust. The current Holy Spirit Corridor has become a complete corridor of the dead, and the entire canyon is filled with the dead. Thousands of dead souls wander tirelessly in this corridor, and the sound of bone friction is the only sound in this world.
"It's so comfortable." After many years, people finally heard the entrance of the Holy Spirit Corridor Canyon, but the undead in the corridor were indifferent, as if they had found nothing. They were still wandering around aimlessly. A small head stretched out from the entrance of the canyon, and a half-fixed figure was close to the rock wall of the canyon, revealing only one eye to peek inside carefully, as if they were afraid of being discovered by the monster inside.
"Brothers and sisters, it's so scary inside." Anne, the little banshee, looked at it a few times. She was so scared that she trembled all over and floated to Catherine's arms, who was still behind her. She rubbed her hard and said, "There are so many skeletons inside, and she can't count them. But they didn't notice me, hehe, I'm hiding it very well."
"Don't act coquettishly." Catherine knocked Annie's head with a pampering look: "Last time you saw so many skeletons, you weren't afraid. As a result, I'm scared now. Who believes that? Well, Annie is the best. Tell us, is there anything else in it except skeletons?"
"Well, especially are there any corpses?" Panis added: "Or monsters that look like corpses and have a staff?"
"No." Anne thought for a while, shook her head vigorously, and said affirmatively: "Absolutely, I have searched carefully, there are only skeletons and no other monsters."
"Well. It's okay." Catherine looked at Panis, who was lying on the ground, and Catherine breathed a sigh of relief: "It's confirmed that there are no corpse witches here. This is the best news I have heard today. If there is really a corpse witch, it would be a nightmare in this narrow terrain."
"Since I've confirmed it, let's go." Lina stroked the silver hair of the giant wolf beside her, and stepped on the ground with a few uneasy legs. She looked back at the canyon and said, "I used the terrain to change the barriers laid out at the entrance, because they were too large and could only last for ten minutes at most. If she didn't leave, she might be attacked on both sides in a while. Hey. Panis, I've wanted to ask since just now. What are you writing when you lie on the ground when you come in? You're so attentive."
"You've seen it, the cover array." Pannis carved the last stroke on the ground, stood up and patted the soil, and looked at the circular array on the ground with satisfaction and said: "I used it once when I was in Anne's hometown to cover the vitality of the living. Although it has a poor effect on high-level undead, as long as it is not too close, even high-level undead will not be able to find ours."
"Well, if the undead outside can't find our vitality, they will soon dissipate, right?" Lina's eyes lit up, she punched Panis behind and praised: "You really think, no wonder you asked me to change the road blocking with the terrain."
"Macia, there should be no fork here." Catherine began to sort out the equipment one by one, carefully adjusting the location of each equipment so that it can be easier to use. Seeing that Marcia shook her head and responded to her questions, she tilted her head and thought about it and said, "Now, let's confirm it for the last time, the specific purpose and method of our action."
"Okay." Vivian sat on the ground with her silver wolf, her huge backpack was open, and she was selectively taking out the potion bottles or spell casting materials from the pockets that were spread throughout the whole dress, and exchanging them with some items in the backpack to adapt to the transformation of the terrain from the grassland to the canyon.
"First, the way is opened by Marcia's Blade Storm." Catherine was the first to cast her eyes on Marcia's face: "When you came last time, how far did you break out with the Blade Storm? Fifty meters?"
"It's over sixty meters." Marcia was still wearing a sleeveless top and men's trousers, but she covered her leather armor on the outside. At this time, like everyone else, she was squatting on the ground and polishing the sword edge of the giant sword with special tools: "I can't say the exact distance, and I didn't make a careful judgment at that time, but it was about sixty meters."
"Then it's better to be sixty meters, just be safer." Catherine said: "This time there are also the holy power technique and sharp blade you blessed with Lina and Vivian. There should be no problem in breaking through sixty meters."
"Yeah, there should be no problem." Marcia thought about it and replied affirmatively: "I will break through sixty meters no matter what. Even if the Sword Storm can't do it, I will do it in other ways."
"Very good, the next one is Lina." Catherine arranged one by one: "Follow it is me, and then Marcia, but Lina is Lina again... Maybe this is the tactic. Do you have any questions?"
"It should be no problem." Panis was installing some gadgets in his backpack on his limbs, stretching his arms and kicking his legs to test his flexibility a few times, and confirming that all the tools are firmly fixed and do not affect the movement before saying, "I'm ready here and can go at any time."
"I have a problem. If I follow the plan, my magic might not be enough." Lina half-kneeled on the ground, dancing in front of her, automatically turning on page by page, and she would not automatically turn to the next page after she silently recited it.
"The potion has been given to you." Vivian tied his backpack and carried it back: "I have made a lot of potion, especially the potion that restores magic, which is enough for the two of us to drink it as water. I suggest you drink a bottle before you start acting. After all, a bottle of mental recovery potion takes three minutes to recover ten percent of the magic. I would rather drink it in advance than waste it when the magic is not kept up."
"Okay, I'll wait for Marcia to rush out and drink." Lina said: "I'm fine, either. These children, Diana, have already communicated with them. They know how to cooperate with us."
"It's okay?" Catherine looked around and finally clenched her fists hard: "Macia, it's now, go for it."
Five people and five wolves rushed out of the cover array at the same time and rushed towards the depths of the canyon. As soon as they ran out a few dozen meters, the undead in the canyon had sensed the breath of the living, stopped wandering aimlessly, and rushed towards the entrance under the stimulation of hatred.
"Come on." Catherine suddenly reached out and pushed Marcia hard behind him. Marcia used the thrust to jump into the air and smashed into the skeleton group like before. The giant sword drove her body and pushed forward like a meat grinder, tearing a path full of bones.
"In the name of Deniya, divine art, terrain changes, and stone creation." Lina half-kneeled on the ground, holding a spell in her hand, and a silver mace hit the ground with force. A hidden wave of force spread forward along the ground, closely following the pace of Marcia, crossing sixty meters, and suddenly burst on the ground. Sixty meters away, the soil on the ground suddenly surged violently, and a three-meter-diameter boulder rose rapidly from the ground, rising to a height of seven or eight meters to stop growing, standing like a stone pillar in a torrent.
While the boulder was rising, Catherine lifted Vivian up, and Panis took Lina's waist. The two started at high speed. Using the road opened by Marcia, they rushed toward the boulder sixty meters away with all their might. When they were about to approach the boulder, Panis suddenly raised his hand and shot out from his wrist with a hook rope, nailing the cliff on the side of his head. Panis and Catherine grabbed the hook rope and swung hard at the top of the boulder. As soon as they stood firm, Panis shook the hook rope, and while recovering, the hook rope on the other wrist flew out, wrapped around Marcia's waist, who had just stopped and rotated, dragging her back to the boulder.
The space on the boulder is relatively small, with a diameter of only three meters. Vivian and Lina stand back to back in the center, and the other three guards are triangularly guarding around the two to prevent the archers from ranged attacks. At the bottom of the boulder, five giant wolves wander around the boulder. Any skeletons close to the boulder will be ruthlessly knocked away or simply destroyed by them, trying their best to ensure that the boulder is not attacked.
"Swoosh", the sound of feather arrow breaking through the air sounded, and a feather arrow flew out in Panis's hand, just stuck at the shoulder joint of a skeleton knight close to a giant wolf, making it slash with force and slashing half a meter to one side involuntarily, without causing damage to the silver wolf, but just chopped on the ground and splashed a string of sparks. As the target of the attack, the silver wolf took the opportunity to knock the skeleton knight down directly, swinging its sharp claws continuously. After several high-speed swings, the skeleton knight's skull was finally unable to support it, shattered and damaged, and its body completely lost its ability to struggle, and it was restored to a pile of white bones.
