in the stairway from the second underground level to the third underground level.
the imperial army marches forward, heading for the battlefield.
if one claims not to feel nervous about the upcoming battle, it is pure untruth.
the surrounding silence and the muffled breathing sounds emitted by the breathing masks all reveal the immense pressure on the soldiers’ minds.
as they approach the depths of the third underground level, the coal lamp’s light is barely visible.
an invisible magic force envelops the imperial army, pushing everything related to “light” and “hope” to the farthest corners.
the light released by the coal lamps cannot escape the range of the lampshade, only lingering on the inner side of the glass cover and not even illuminating the soldiers’ faces.
everyone has to take potions with night vision effects, and act under rough sight conditions.
at the same time, faint painful whispers linger in every soldier’s ear.
sorrowful tunes, miserable screams, and meaningless words torment the soldiers’ minds constantly, planting seeds of despair.
the cold poisonous fog of the third underground level torments the soldiers’ bodies.
the whispers in their ears are a mental torment.
clearly, since the appearance of stone tomb bound spirits on the second underground level, the difficulty of cleaning up tomb no.1079 has risen sharply, and it is no longer something the alvin army can take on alone.
sergeant major alvin sent out a distress signal to the legion.
lieutenant grett responded and came to assist as an extraordinary.
his joining was undoubtedly an adrenaline shot for the soldiers.
the soldiers thereby gained the courage to challenge the third underground level.
there is one place that cannot be ignored.
on noland lee’s personal panel, a negative effect appeared.
he spent 1 point of energy and deconstructed it.
[resentment prayer: with undead runes as the carrier and resentment-induced pain as the theme, the priests of the undead cult are chanting this sorrowful song that lures people to death.
[every 10 minutes, your “tenacity” will temporarily decrease by 1 point. when
“tenacity” reaches zero, you will die immediately.]
noland’s current “tenacity” attribute value is 11 points.
if he cannot resolve this battle within 110 minutes, he will perish here.
even if the other soldiers’ “tenacity” attribute values are higher than his, it is estimated that they will not be able to endure for long in this environment of slow death.
from the beginning till now, the imperial army has been dealing with things as they come.
in the face of this sorrowful song, the imperial army brought out its own “trump card.”
a portable record player appeared within the army.
after turning on the mechanical switch of the record player, a buzzing sound came from the loudspeaker, followed by a sonorous and uplifting imperial battle song.
the soldiers cheered up and sang along with the music:
“emperor, empire, military officer, soldier.
“forever brave, forever loyal.
“our army fights at any location.
“our army faces the enemy at any time.
“soldiers of tatis, eliminate your enemies, let them suffer the deserved failure. “soldiers of tatis, face your mission, let us enjoy the glory of the empire.”
the singing set off waves of sound in the tomb passage, rallying all the soldiers’ courage and determination to win, instantly dispelling the ominous signs imposed on them by the death priest.
[system message: you are affected by “tatis empirewar march. “]
[your “tenacity” temporarily increases by 20 points, “agility” temporarily increases by 10 points, the effect lasts for about 1 hour. during this period, the undead cult’s “resentment prayer” will not affect you.]
for the first time, noland intuitively felt the positive effects of the battle song.
his arms, his thighs, his chest, and his back, every muscle in his body suddenly gained tremendous power and seemingly endless abundant energy.
a casual swing of his fist would create a whistling wind noise.
random fiddling with the revolver would quickly complete the entire action of loading the bullet chamber.
so strong, so agile, this sharp increase in base attribute values deeply shocked noland.
an idea couldn’t help but rise in his heart.
