……

The nuclear explosion lasted for more than an hour before it finally stopped. The spreading mountains had turned into a scorched earth. The winter dragon Varok crawled up from the land full of radiation and dust. The right half of his body was in tatters and he no longer had the extra magic power to repair it.

As for the land where Cecil and Coleen were, there was nothing left.

Valok was very grateful that the two men blocked the attack for him, otherwise he would have been the one to be hit directly.

However, with two legends dying in succession, they had lost face in this battle. The Lord of the Undead was furious, and they were afraid that they would not be able to escape with ease.

Fortunately, Valok soon realized that the person in command was Cecil, so what did it have to do with him?

The skeleton dragon's heart suddenly relaxed, and ripples began to appear in the space and time around it.

Varok immediately recognized it as teleportation.

Did the great Lord of the Undead already know about the loss here and sent a new commander?

As Valok was thinking this, he saw a corpse wizard walking out. His face was very unfamiliar, but he sensed a familiar breath from the other person.

"Cecil? You are still alive?" Valok said in surprise.

"Damn it... Damn Moon God, damn Moon Priest, I will extract your soul and burn it in the lowest and most fragile bones!" Cecil roared in great annoyance. If his life box had not been placed somewhere else instead of with him, he would have been dead by now.

Even so, he could only temporarily change into a corpse wizard's body, and his strength was greatly reduced.

Cecil glanced at Valok coldly. The two sides were about to accuse each other, but they both shut their mouths at the same time because a terrifying pressure suddenly filled the sky over the entire mountain range.

The Lord of the Dead has arrived!

Chapter 549: The Prelude to the Plane War

The sudden pressure stopped the quarrel between [Great Lich] Cecil and [Winter Dragon] Varok. They immediately prostrated themselves tremblingly, with a look of fear in their eyes burning with soul fire.

In the midst of an indescribable chaos, a majestic voice rang out over the entire mountain range. "Tell me, what is going on, Cecil?!"

Millions of undead were destroyed at the same time, which naturally attracted the attention and anger of the Lord of the Undead.

"The great Lord of the Undead, the chief priest of the Moon God, sent an incarnation to sneak in. He used a powerful artifact to destroy the earth and mountains, and wanted to die with us." [Great Lich] Cecil hurriedly explained.

Although he has not confirmed the other party's identity yet, it is impossible for an incarnation alone to perform such powerful magic. He must have something to rely on!

"So it was just an incarnation of a high priest who defeated you... I have to say, you disappoint me, Cecil!" The tone of the Lord of the Undead became increasingly cold.

A chill rising from the depths of his soul suddenly surged in Cecil's heart, but before he could continue to argue, a strong pressure enveloped every part of his body.

Even as a legendary wizard of the Nine Rings, Cecil had no ability to resist a true god. He slowly floated up, a look of fear on his rotten face.

Cecil could clearly feel that he was being pinched in the palm of an invisible giant hand. Every piece of flesh and blood and every bone in his body seemed to be wailing. Then his whole body was crushed to pieces, leaving only a blood mist filling the air.

[Winter Dragon] Varok pressed his head deeply into the ground. He had always disliked Cecil, but at this moment he couldn't help but feel a little sad, worrying that he would be the next target to be crushed.

But after just a few seconds, Valok breathed a sigh of relief, because the blood mist in the air quickly gathered together and re-formed into the shape of Cecil.

Under the creation-like method of the Lord of the Dead, Cecil regained his lich body, and then he bowed down excitedly. "Thank you for your forgiveness, great Lord of the Dead, I will definitely offer you the world outside the time and space gate as soon as possible, and destroy the Moon God and her followers together!"

Cecil, who had just been between life and death and had his soul nearly crushed, was filled with fear.

"There won't be a next time!" The cold voice of the Lord of the Undead echoed in the sky above the foreign land. Crushing Cecil's body was a punishment, and reshaping his body was a blessing.

A nine-ring legendary wizard is still somewhat useful, but his patience is limited. This time he forgave Cecil entirely because of his contribution as a pioneer in conquering the domain of Diana, the goddess of the moon.

"Have you completed the task I gave you?" The Lord of the Undead suddenly asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to the great Lord of the Undead, I have asked Shado to chase after the fugitives. He should be able to pass on the news soon!" Cecil responded quickly.

"Shaduo is dead!" The gloomy and cold voice sounded again, and the chaos of nothingness became violent.

Cecil's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and the soul fire between his pupils was trembling rapidly. It was obvious that this news was completely beyond his expectations.

The reason why his body and part of the soul attached to it were completely destroyed was because they were in the core area of ​​the energy impact.

As unlucky as him was the Death Knight Kolern, and although Valok, who was farther away, was seriously injured, he still survived. How could Shado, who went to chase the fugitives, die so easily?

Cecil was full of doubts, but he did not ask any questions. Since the Lord of the Undead said with his own mouth that he was dead, there was no possibility that Shado would survive.

The most urgent task now was how to deal with the blame from the Lord of the Dead. Cecil had no doubt that if he failed to find the location of the space-time gate, this moody god would immediately crush his body and soul.

"I have set up a detection barrier above this mountain before. Those fugitives must have been contaminated by magic when they passed through. I can find the location of the time and space node based on the trajectory of their movements!" Cecil spoke very quickly before the Lord of the Undead got angry, and every word he said was true.

Cecil didn't have the guts to lie in front of a God, but this magical track could be blocked and eliminated, and it was not 100% safe, so he deliberately let Shado follow.

"I hope you understand that my patience is always short, Cecil! Just like your time!" The dull voice echoed among the mountains. After saying this, the Lord of the Undead no longer responded.

The chaos is gone...

Cecil stood up slowly, exhaling a breath of frosty air from his mouth. His life was finally saved!

"Cecil, have you really found the location of the time and space node? Time is running out... The great Lord of the Undead will never give you a second chance." Valok said mockingly as he looked at Cecil who had saved his life.

Cecil glanced at Varok's tattered body gloomily and said, "Since you are so anxious, you will be the vanguard in the next attack, Varok!"

[Winter Dragon] Varok did not dare to answer at all, but evaded the question by saying that it would take some time for his injuries to recover, and he would personally explain this to the Lord of the Dead.

Lynn's nuclear explosion had wiped out his arrogance and all his contempt.

Not to mention going to the other side of the space-time gate, you may have to face the Moon God!

Even though the other party gave up his own divine domain in a desperate manner and fled to another world, judging from the performance of this "high priest", the power of the Moon God did not seem to have weakened much.

It’s definitely not that easy to deal with!

"When you recover from your injuries, I will make another proposal to the great Lord of the Undead!" Cecil had no intention of letting Valok go so easily, and the feud between the two sides was formed.

After threatening, Cecil stopped paying attention to the [Winter Dragon] and began to cast a spell to sense the traces of magic power remaining in the air, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although all traces of magic power here were eliminated by the explosion, there was still a lot of weak magic power remaining dozens of kilometers away. Cecil immediately breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that at least his first mission was completed!

Cecil then used the language of souls to call on the army of undead in the foreign land to gather here.

The millions of undead souls destroyed by a nuclear explosion were only a small part of those temporarily mobilized. After all, there was more than one time and space gate, and Cecil did not place all his hopes here.

In fact, the number of undead distributed in the foreign land exceeds 30 million, and this is only the regular army. The large number of cannon fodder that were converted from the previous massacre of the natives of this divine land are not within the scope of his statistics!

Such power is enough to flatten a world, but it is still insufficient to deal with a god, so they are just vanguards.

……

At the same time, in the valley dozens of kilometers away, with the passage of supersonic fighter jets, the surging space-time gate slowly closed under the constraints of the other end.

Leaving the dark and gloomy foreign land, Raphael and the others squinted their eyes uncomfortably under the bright sunshine, and then they relaxed their whole body and mind.

"We really came back alive?!" A witch in the queue cried with joy. She had already prepared to sacrifice herself when she entered the foreign land, but she never expected that she could return safely.

The halfling Maka looked up at the bright sun in the sky and was amazed.

Is this the sun?

He had heard Darren say before that the sun was a star, a very large celestial body, tens of millions times larger than a continent, and able to illuminate the entire world!

Before, Maca didn’t believe that there was any kind of light that could illuminate the entire world, but now he has to believe it.

Because everything in sight was now incredibly bright, even to the point of being dazzling. Maca, who had been in a foreign land for more than ten years, had never experienced such a feeling.

The two airships soon stopped in the valley. The fighter plane driven by Lydia circled in the sky and stopped on the runway after slowing down.

Raphael and others who got off the airship saw the armored vehicle convoys standing on both sides, the soldiers in neat rows and the ferocious gun muzzles.

Being pointed at by thousands of cannons, even though they knew there was no danger, several people couldn't help but become nervous. But the next moment, this nervousness was replaced by thunderous applause and cheers!

One cannon after another exploded, but what erupted were not cannonballs but ceremonial fireworks!

Raphael and others who got off the airship received the warmest welcome!

There were clusters of flowers and flying fireworks. Harov even held an award ceremony on the spot, presenting a Morning Star Medal to all those who participated in the action in recognition of their achievements.

Raphael and Lydia who went to rescue him were awarded a Silver Moon Medal!

The former, as the team commander, risked his life to go deep into foreign lands, and took the initiative to make the decision to contain the undead army to buy time for the parliament. He is truly worthy of the Silver Moon Medal!

Lydia, who also received the Silver Moon Medal, was surprised but also a little uneasy. After all, she didn't seem to do anything. She just flew there and back, which only took two hours for her!

"There is no doubt that this is what you deserve, Lydia!" Lynn said with a smile. It was by no means an easy task to go deep into the foreign land and bring Raphael and others out.

Not to mention, Raphael also briefly described what happened at the award ceremony. Lydia was able to delay the pace of a legendary creature by herself and directly shoot it down. This was already an extremely terrifying record!

The award ceremony was hosted by Harov as usual, and he gave a pre-war speech at the end, saying that the Wizarding Council would never give up anyone who had made outstanding contributions, which greatly boosted morale before the battle!

After the brief awarding ceremony, the soldiers gathered nearby returned to combat readiness. The enemy could invade at any time and anywhere, and fifteen minutes was the limit.

Speakers Lynn, Harof, Aurora and others took Raphael and others to the rear and asked about the details of what happened.

Everyone added to the story at once, and soon the whole story was told.

"Anyway, this time it's all thanks to you, Speaker Lin!" Raphael looked at Lin with gratitude. If it weren't for the other party's incarnation that opened a path for them, they would probably be dead now!

“Compared to you guys entering the foreign land in person, I just sent an incarnation to help.” Lin En smiled and shook his head. He had already sensed that the part of his soul that he had separated had disappeared, and his mental strength had also fallen into a brief period of weakness.

Even with the best legendary potion in the Senate, it would take several days to recover. However, it would still take some time for the intelligent brain to completely crack everyone's computing power, so it should not delay the promotion ceremony.

"Also, you seem to have brought back something special." Lin En stared at Raphael and the others and suddenly spoke.

"Are you talking about Maca? Although he is a native of a foreign land, but..." Raphael was about to defend Maca, after all, they had been through hardships together, but Lin En shook his head.

"No, I'm talking about this!"

The moment the words fell, Lin En suddenly attacked without any warning!

A strong flash of lightning instantly enveloped everyone present.

The lightning was so fast that even Raphael couldn't react.

Harov's expression changed slightly, but he did not move because he trusted Lin En.

Under the influence of the violent force of thunder, thick black smoke appeared on the bodies of the people in front of him, accompanied by bursts of shrill cries.

“This…what on earth is going on?” Raphael’s voice was trembling slightly from being electrocuted. How could he not see that there was something wrong with their bodies? He looked at Lin En in astonishment.

"Fortunately, it's just a tracking spell." Lin En breathed a sigh of relief. This magic has already touched a bit of the higher-dimensional realm. If he hadn't made some progress these days, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect the things attached to Raphael and the others.

The person who set up this magic is most likely a legendary wizard of the Nine Rings!

After hearing Lin En's explanation, the members of the foreign team were all frightened. They didn't expect that they had been contaminated with some strange things without knowing it. If the Magic Star hadn't pointed it out to them, they might have had to carry it with them forever.

Raphael's expression was grim. Since it was a tracking technique, it meant that the location of the space-time node should have been exposed!
