Chapter 882: Trouble at the Hero Tomb
"The scale of this Undead Calamity is truly unprecedented! It seems the other side has made the Morning Light Forest the focal point of this offensive." Lingyun gazed at the dense, grey flags surrounding the Morning Light Forest, his brows involuntarily arching.
"Actually, this is quite normal. After all, the Spirit race's Natural Magic is also known as Life Magic, which is a great enemy to the undead. It is not hard to understand why they would want to wipe us out first." There was a hint of helplessness in Aiweier's tone.
"Isn't it the same for the Light Empire?" Lingyun pointed to another location and said.
"But the Light Empire has many people! They can send enough combat power to deal with those undead, but our Elf Kingdom does not have that many combat personnel." There was a hint of helplessness in Andiya's tone.
"Alright." Lingyun naturally knew that the Elf Kingdom indeed had a significant deficiency in terms of population.
"By the way, have you found out where the source of this Undead Calamity is?" Lingyun asked.
"This, from the intelligence we currently possess, the origin of this Undead Calamity is still the same as before: the Undead Mage who had already died beside the Third Prince of the Norton Empire." Andiya handed a document in her hand to Lingyun.
Lingyun looked at the intelligence before him, a flash of confusion crossing his eyes: "I always feel that the death of this Undead Mage is a bit off!"
"A bit off?"
"That's right. In a certain sense, the survival capabilities of an Undead Mage should be the strongest among all mages. Could an ordinary Saint Domain really kill him in one blow when attacking him?" Lingyun said. "As a mage, it is very common to set up trigger-based Defensive Magic around oneself. But in this intelligence, I did not see a single trace of Defensive Magic being triggered."
Hearing Lingyun say this, Oufeina also furrowed her brows, took the intelligence from Lingyun's hand, and began to read it seriously.
"No, no, this intelligence is really quite off!" After carefully reading the content of the intelligence, Oufeina similarly furrowed her brows. "Andiya, there are major loopholes in this intelligence. I am afraid I will have to trouble you to have your subordinates investigate it again."
"I understand." Andiya took the intelligence from Oufeina's hand and nodded.
"In this way, there are many suspicious points regarding the death of this Undead Mage. Perhaps we can find the reason for the outbreak of this Undead Calamity from him." Aiweier stood up and said.
Just at this moment, the sand table placed on the table suddenly began to vibrate, emitting a series of alarm sounds.
"What happened?" The four people present looked toward the direction of the sand table simultaneously.
In a corner of the sand table, a large expanse of grey flags suddenly emerged, the flags moving constantly and gathering toward one direction.
"What place is this?" Lingyun pointed at the sand table and asked.
"This place is the Hero Tomb of the Norton Empire. Buried in this place are the strong ones of the Norton Empire through the ages who were granted the title of hero." Andiya's gaze fell on the place Lingyun was pointing at, her expression somewhat unsightly.
"Hero Tomb?" Hearing Andiya's introduction, Lingyun already knew what this Undead Legion was trying to do. "The other side wants to awaken those strong ones buried in the Hero Tomb!"
"If the strong ones buried in the Hero Tomb are all awakened, that will be a big problem. You must know that many skeletons of strong ones are buried in the Hero Tomb!" Oufeina stood up abruptly. "We must stop them, otherwise the enemy will gain a batch of terrifying fresh troops."
"In order not to let others disturb the heroes sleeping in the Hero Tomb, an elite Army of the Norton Empire is stationed on the outskirts of the Hero Tomb. However, judging from the situation of this Undead Legion, they will not be able to stop them."
"Oufeina, you go to the Norton Emperor. Aiweier, Andiya, you two set up the Space Array leading to the Hero Tomb as fast as you can. I will go find someone to help!" Lingyun made a prompt decision and said to the people beside him.
"Find someone to help? Find who?" Oufeina asked with some confusion.
"You will know when the time comes!" Lingyun's figure flashed and he disappeared directly into the Void.
"Brother—"
As soon as Lingyun's figure appeared in the Cloud Realm, Alice ran over and threw herself directly into Lingyun's arms.
"Long time no see, Alice." Lingyun reached out his hand and stroked Alice's head.
"Brother, brother, Alice is very strong now, oh! I can definitely help Brother now!" Alice rubbed against Lingyun's arms and said with an excited face.
Feeling the vast elemental power surging on Alice, a trace of astonishment also appeared on Lingyun's face. He did not expect that after not seeing her for a period of time, Alice's strength had actually improved so much.
"Brother! Why did you come to the Cloud Realm?"
Just at this moment, Ruoxi also popped out from the Void and hung onto Lingyun's back.
"I ran into a bit of trouble here, so I wanted to find those children to help!" Lingyun said.
"Brother, is there anything we can help with?" As soon as Lingyun's voice fell, Xiaona appeared before Lingyun.
"Xiaona, how have you been living in the Cloud Realm lately?" Lingyun held Alice with one arm and freed his other hand to pick up Xiaona as well.
"The younger sisters are all living very happily, it's just that Tina and Xia Shi feel a bit bored. Before, Tina even secretly ran back to the original world and wiped out Libra, one of the Zodiacs." Xiaona hugged Lingyun's neck and kissed Lingyun on the cheek.
"Feeling bored, huh?" Lingyun's brows arched slightly. "I have a combat mission here, will you take it?"
"Combat mission?" Hearing Lingyun say this, Xiaona's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
Although it was not as if there were no places in Aincrad for the Cursed Children to fight, those monsters were program-generated after all, and their attack methods had certain patterns; once one was familiar with them, they could be easily dealt with.
Although Yui had coaxed two little assistants back from the Date A Live World—Huoshou Juya and Huoshou Junai—which had caused the AI of Aincrad to have huge progress, this kind of progress had no effect on the Cursed Children for the time being. Therefore, those Cursed Children who loved to fight had not run to other worlds less often during this period of time.
Now hearing Lingyun say that there was a combat matter they needed to help with, those children would probably be completely excited.
"Quick, quick, quick, Brother, let's go to Aincrad! During this period of time, there are many younger sisters who have been talking about you, Brother!" Xiaona jumped out of Lingyun's arms directly, pulled him, and ran toward the direction of Aincrad.
