Chapter 317: Undead Construct

Hearing the last sentence, Clegg corrected her seriously,
“It’s not that I’m amazing, but my clansmen are.
“You can’t imagine how much they sacrificed to protect me. No, everyone sacrificed.
“In front of that terrifying and evil fleet, our tribe was like a piece of paper, unable to withstand a single blow.
“My clan leader, the leader of Storluk, the great legendary Sword Saint, Prockart, once went alone to stop the huge starship from landing on the ground in order to protect the tribe.
“That’s right, there was an entire fleet on the other side, with thousands of soldiers and horses.
“And he was all alone.
“This was because no one in the tribe could ascend to the heavens with him.
“He was an extraordinary existence. If he wanted to leave, no one could stop him. However, he chose to die brazenly.
“I saw with my own eyes that Lord Prockart used his ultimate technique and cut the starship in half with one sword!
“At that time, everyone in the tribe was cheering. Everyone was praising Lord Prockart’s power which was comparable to a god.
“Only he was still solemn.
“Soon, we knew why.
“After the starship broke, countless shadows flew out from within. “They surrounded Lord Prockart like locusts and eventually devoured him.
“As far as I know, Lord Prockart was already immune to magic. Even physical damage could only cause very little damage to him.
“However, those locust-like monsters are creatives that we have never seen before.
“They were like flying spirits, their bodies covered in steel and constructs.
“Their bodies were filled with the unique negative energy of the undead, but they were not as fragile as the ordinary undead.
“Purify and Dispel were ineffective against them.
“It was only after a long time that I found out that this was a technique that the Antu Empire was proud of and used to conquer the other planets.
“Undead Construct.
“After Lord Prockart was defeated, my hometown was completely turned into a sea of fire. Large areas of farmland were burned to ruins, and all the orcs were exterminated. Their bones were made into terrifying undead and covered with all kinds of strange constructs.
“When I left Storluk.
“That planet had become another branch base of the Antu Empire. Tall buildings rose from the ground, and they erected chimneys on the plains. Countless steel beasts that could spew black fog and steam drove on the plains, and groups of space spirits that could fly wandered between the mountains and above the clouds like nightmares.
“When the sun set, I saw the colourful lights in the steel forest.
“That was an unforgettable scene in my life.
“It also reminded me that I must avenge my clansmen.
“I’m saying this for no other reason than to remind you that you’re not the only one in this world who has suffered the injustice of fate.
Don’t give up.”
From beginning to end.
Clegg was talking to Lara.
She seemed to treat Matthew as air.
However, Matthew did not mind. From the other party’s words, he had already learned too much shocking information.
Although his version was still at the stage of traditional undead.
The Antu Empire, which loved to seek death, had evolved into a power that knew how to deal with steel constructs.
“I wonder if the Antu Empire has truly fallen at this point in time? According to the timeline in the game, the one who invaded Clegg’s hometown should be a space undead army that was wandering outside. But if it weren’t, then it would be troublesome. Forget it. Aindor is in the prime material plane, after all. The plane barrier was extremely thick, and it was not as easy to invade as the guardian planes hanging in the astral plane. Besides, even if the sky falls, there will be tall people holding it up. With my current strength, it’s useless to think too much.”
Although he thought so.
However, Matthew was still very interested in the Antu Empire’s Undead Construct.
In his previous life, he had encountered such troops when he was playing the game. Unfortunately, he was a player who rarely looked at background introductions. He only liked to farm. In his impression, other than the fact that such troops were easy to drop gold coins, he knew nothing else. “As far as I know, this hive is also related to the Antu Empire.”
Matthew said.
The Orc Sword Saintess glanced at him, and this time, she actually said,
“Yes, that’s why I agreed to Samantha’s request to help us eliminate the Zergs.
“The Violent Zither Insect race isn’t a powerful race. My hometown has been invaded by them several times, but they have been successfully expelled.
“I want to know what secrets are hidden in the Antu Empire base that was attacked by the Zergs.”
Seeing that she was finally willing to talk to him, Matthew quickly struck while the iron was hot.
“Since you came to Aindor to seek help, have you contacted the Seven Saint Alliance regarding the Antu Empire?”
Clegg’s expression darkened.
Of course I did, but the Seven Saint Alliance didn’t care about me at all. They left me in an abandoned stronghold on the east coast for more than a month. It was only when I repeatedly went to ask for an answer that a kind mage told me that the Seven Saint Alliance didn’t care about what happened outside of Aindor.
“The higher-ups of the Alliance couldn’t possibly provide me with any support. After that, they even chased me out like I was a beggar.
“This is the shame of my life!”
Matthew shook his head silently.
“Perhaps the Seven Saint Alliance doesn’t even care about Aindor.
“Mages are the most refined and selfish creatures. They only care about themselves.”
Samantha looked at him in surprise. “Are you mocking yourself?” Matthew smiled and didn’t say much.
“Let’s go.”
Samantha changed the topic with a smile and reminded everyone of the purpose of tonight.
In the past half a month, Clegg and I have already cleared the outer perimeter of the hive. Tonight, we will go straight into the inner part. According to Clegg, we will be able to eliminate all the Violent Zergs by killing the Zerg Queen, who is hiding in the depths and controlling all the Zergs. “Our goal this time is to find her and kill her.”
As she spoke.
She activated the power of the altar.
The gentle moonlight enveloped everyone.
Very quickly.
In a flash, they appeared on the 33rd level of the hive!
Under Samantha’s lead.
They left the area of the shrine of the Goddess of Moonlight.
Not long after.
A huge iron gate appeared in front of them.
The iron door and the underground space of the hive were integrated into one, and the surrounding stone walls were covered with thick, luminous moss.
Matthew noticed.
There was a shiny device next to the iron door.
It looked like a card reader.
He took out the access card he found on the body of the Antu Empire researcher from his inventory.
“Do I need to use this thing?”
However, Samantha had already walked slowly to the card reader, took out another identical card from the inner lining of her shirt, and inserted it gently.
She smiled and said,
“When we were cleaning up the bugs on the outside, we found a dozen of these cards.”
Matthew shrugged.
However, after inserting the access card, there was no movement at the door.
Samantha looked confused.
At this moment.
Matthew stepped forward and took the card from her hand. He flipped it in one direction and then naturally swiped it from top to bottom!
“Beep beep beep!”
A crisp electronic sound rang out.
Dark green lights lit up on both sides.
The door creaked open.
Samantha looked at Matthew in surprise.
“Why are you so skilled?”
Clegg looked at him suspiciously.
Matthew could only explain,
” As a mage, we are also well-versed in otherworldly knowledge.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The door slammed shut.
It left a gap for the two of them to enter and exit.
A stale aura gushed out from within.
Everyone could not help but cover their mouths and noses.
Then, they looked inside curiously.
