The Boss King actually disguised himself as a novice village chief?!

Chapter 375: Chapter 319 Lind, Your Wife is Too Strong

The Black Tortoise Shield, Moon Slash Blade, and Kirin Sword trio had just finished handling their materials at the camp and received an urgent message from my ring, "Unbeatable," right away.

A level 40 BOSS was discovered in the church!

The call for help was broadcast to all friends, and my ring, "Unbeatable," even specifically marked the location, greatly saving the time to determine the position.

Since entering the Royal City, new BOSSes have been found daily, and discovering a tough-to-conquer BOSS was not unusual.

The entire City of Gold was a giant BOSS lair. Rarely were minor monsters seen here, instead, it was likely to encounter a BOSS marked as "Old Nobility" every few steps.

Ordinary Dragonized Soldiers were already tough to deal with, slightly suppressing the attributes of the Undead. Apart from some high-end players who had better equipment and skills, ordinary Undead would be severely taught a lesson when encountering Dragonized Soldiers.

However, Old Nobility generally transcended all limits, their attributes so exaggerated that the Undead wondered if they had accidentally ventured into a late-game map.

Of course, the most unreasonable were the BOSS distributions.

The Undead’s enthusiasm for fighting BOSSes remained high because almost no two BOSSes were alike, offering new experiences each time, and many people discovered that by investigating carefully, each Undead had a backstory crafted for them; they didn’t just appear out of nowhere but were intricately connected.

One clear example was seen with NPCs like Lind and Doris, who once lived in the Royal City. Mention certain names, and they would react, especially Recorder Officer Miss Doris who always had stories to tell.

However, sharing tricks for fighting in the Royal City was rare, as all Old Nobility were unique, making replication of combat techniques impossible.

Currently, the two most liked videos were one outlining tactics for defeating Dragonized Soldiers, which for some less adept Undead, were already as challenging as a BOSS.

The other was a strategy for making money in the "Silent Dance Hall" dungeon. If you timed it well, you could kill a BOSS by jumping off a ledge at the right moment. If not, try a few more times, and killing one BOSS a day was no problem; the rewards were substantial, quickly enriching the Undead and saving them a lot of effort for future explorations.

Therefore, at this stage, a group of Undead was immersed in the "Silent Dance Hall" dungeon manor, visibly reducing the number of BOSSes, estimating that in half a month, only the female marquis would remain.

The female marquis liked to chew on things while sleeping alone, unknowingly consuming the entire dance.

At this moment, key issues arose, prompting people like the Black Tortoise Shield to temporarily abandon their exploration progress and head to the church. The BOSS’s name was Tione.

Isn’t that Lind’s fiancée? They and Lind were old acquaintances, bearing swords and following Lind from the northernmost Star Dragon Ridge all the way without blinking an eye, slashing through to Goliath in the Central Region.

If other issues might be vague, but if it was about killing Lind’s fiancée, they were willing to take on the burden.

At the same time, other Undead heading toward the church shared similar thoughts: humanoid BOSS, and moreover, Lind’s fiancée must be severely bullied.

The Dragonized Soldiers along the way had already been cleaned up, saving a lot of effort.

But just as they had covered a third of the distance, a heavy rumbling sound came from the direction of the church, first a bizarre slash made of runes rose from the ground, resembling sword energy, yet also like a sharp barrier.

Then a mushroom cloud soared into the sky.

...

Back at the camp direction, Respawn Point.

My ring, "Unbeatable," stood stunned, surrounded by resurrecting Undead, who were complaining about the unreasonable nature of the Royal City dungeon.

Until my ring, "Unbeatable," let out a piercing scream: "F*ck ahhhh!"

All eyes turned to him in surprise.

"Lind, your wife is way too strong!"

A BOSS that casually produces mushroom clouds, how do you fight that?

...

Today, as the war has been ongoing for several months, the battle situation has become deadlocked.

Undead can participate in the war as mercenaries, either as assassins or swordsmen.

They were capable of handling lone enemies in small numbers, and in hand-to-hand combat, the Undead possessed talents unreachable by ordinary people.

Even Hull, once hailed as a "Hero of the Kingdom," deeply agreed with this.

Yet, the weaknesses of the Undead became immediately apparent when they charged in battle formations.

They lacked discipline, and were utterly disorganized.

This was fatal, for their adversaries were not ordinary men, but rather elite soldiers also belonging to the Rand Kingdom. As soldiers stationed in the Royal City and suffering from dragonization, they were among the best in the Rand Legion.

Even after going mad, they still made rational use of military formations in battle. Their swordsmanship, while not supernatural, was very practical, which taught a harsh lesson to the Undead who had to stand still and chant before entering the battlefield.

In the blink of an eye, heads would roll; how could they possibly find time to chant spells when faced with Dragonized Soldiers—in a moment, life and death were decided.

The swift pace of battle forced the Undead to streamline their approach, discarding any skills that were uncastable as useless, even if they were flashy skills with long chants.

Death and resurrection was an advantage for the Undead, but this advantage also needed to be combined with their numbers and strength. However, at the current stage, not many Undead could participate in the battle, only a handful scattered few.

Hull removed the Undead from the military formations, believing it better to command Riven Soldiers without supernatural powers than these boastful Undead.

Hull led a newly reorganized team, including a few Great Knights and some Riven veterans with combat experience. Lind had no more soldiers to spare for him; the battle was gradually extending the front lines, drawing too much of his strength and attention.

And with only a "weak" team under his command, Hull received what was now the most critically dangerous mission:

To seize the central avenue ahead.

From the statue of Redwald Hedwin in front of the Royal City, it led straight to the Royal Palace.

Directly in front of the avenue was an eerie Dragon Nest.

Dragon Nest, that’s what they called it.

The Dragonized Soldiers seemed to secrete a kind of disgusting mucus, which would harden to form a horny shell.

It was already suspected by wizards that the dragon scales growing on the bodies and armor of the Dragonized Soldiers might be a result of this mucus mixing.

The similar Dragon Nests were like tumors growing within the city, parasitizing everywhere.

Walls, towers, rooftops, etc., some were small enough to only accommodate one Dragonized Soldier, resembling bird nests perched high on towers and other narrow high places.

Others could hold dozens of Dragonized Soldiers.

Now, Hull had to face a super-large Dragon Nest.

The Dragon Nest was like a fortress, with the Dragonized Soldiers using it as a base, firmly controlling the main artery leading to the Royal Palace.

To take down this place, sufficient combat experience was necessary. The former overwhelming advantage of the Rand Legion, relying on a swarm of Great Knights, no longer existed.

A series of arrows, wrapped in flames, flew toward him; Hull took cover behind His Majesty Redwald’s sculpture, his back pressed against the stone, hearing the arrows impact heavily like picks chipping at the sculpture, seeing the flying stone debris and the deep pits they left.

Hull’s back against the sculpture, felt the barrage of arrows hitting it, shaking his body with their great impact, causing him to tremble slightly.

These Dragonized Soldiers had more abundant resources than Lind.

This was Goliath, where stores of food, weapons, and other military supplies were kept. Speaking of fighting a war for three to five months was no problem, even three to five years would be feasible.

Had it not been for Lind repeatedly demonstrating shocking achievements, Hull would not have believed it possible for the enemy to successfully breach this city, even if he rode a Flying Dragon that could overlook the Royal City.

This was the most impregnable part of the entire Rand Kingdom.

But now, Hull had to undertake the task of breaking through here.
