"Primitive, bloody, ignorant. ”

The wanderers hidden in the shadows underestimate with a voice that only they can hear, and they who have become accustomed to civilized society look down on these barbarians who still live in the deep mountains and dense forests, living in a primitive way.

The gaze was like that of a human looking at a monkey, full of arrogance that even he didn't even notice.

The halfling wanderer was hiding in the shadows of the woods, unable to detect his tracks, let alone perceive his presence if he was close at hand without the use of special means.

It has to be said that the halfling race, in addition to becoming a cook and cooking delicious food, also has an extraordinary talent in the profession of wanderer.

Within the Empire, the most famous wanderers are elves and halflings, and within the covert intelligence services, there are no fewer halflings who become assassins.

The place where the halfling was now located was a valley, surrounded by dense forests, and there was a small lake in the valley, of course, in the cold winter, the lake in the lake had turned into ice, and the thick ice layer was enough to support people to carry out all kinds of activities on it.

In the clearing next to the lake, hundreds of barbarians were singing strange songs and dancing in their own language.

By the faint light of the fire, it could be seen that on the ground around the natives, there were many men and beasts bound with thick ropes, which were the materials used for the blood sacrifice next, and even death was not the end.

Among those beasts, there are many beasts that can be seen such as bears, tigers, and wolves, which can only be regarded as mid-level blood sacrifices, because there are no materials like dragons in them.

The ropes were made of materials and were so tough that even the strong brown bears couldn't break free, and they could only fall to the ground and let out a desperate grunt.

In such a strange song, the pale red appeared in this valley, spreading throughout the valley in the tumbling and boiling, and I don't know when a crazy murmur sounded in my ears, even if I blocked my ears with both hands, this strange whisper could still reach my mind.

As the song passed, the materials of the blood sacrifice stopped struggling, their eyes were red, and they looked like they had been intoxicated by such a strange atmosphere, if it weren't for the fact that they were still tied to their bodies, they would have joined the queue of dancing in the field at this time.

"It's not a god. ”

"It's an evil spirit. ”

The wanderer, hidden in the shadows, told his companions of his discovery, and it was true that they did not have the insight that the caster was going to come, but the villains in the minstrels' stories were more or less understood.

"I thought it was a god. ”

Also hidden in the shadows, the caster is always able to do many unusual things with magic, even if they are hiding in the shadows.

"If it's a god, we can't solve such a problem alone, and that's something that the big people need to worry about. That's beyond our reach. ”

The wanderer next to him shrugged his shoulders, and after confirming the identity of the enemy, his long-tense heart was slightly relaxed.

He really thought that such a task that allowed several legendary squads to cooperate was at the level of a god. It was as if the Beamon Behemoth they had faced was at such a level.

"Don't underestimate the evil spirits, these indigenous tribes don't know how many years they have been sacrificed, they don't know how many souls have been provided for them, if I am alone, I would definitely not want to face such an opponent. ”

Most wanderers have a cautious disposition, and they tend not to believe what they see and what they hear, because they are poisonous snakes that hide in the dark, and know that many superficial things are partially false.

The caster nodded, not saying anything.

At this time, there is obviously no extra energy to engage in small talk, even if they have a double-digit legend, there is no guarantee that they will be able to escape when facing evil spirits, let alone win.

No one knew better how dangerous evil spirits could be than those of them who spent their days in the library, and in the days when the gods were still able to walk on the earth, evil spirits became a problem that needed to be solved.

Unfortunately, none of the gods found any better way to solve the problem of evil spirits, and evil spirits are so difficult to kill, even if all the people who believe in evil spirits are killed, even if they destroy the traces of evil spirits with fire and salt, the evil spirits will be resurrected in a short time.

Why it was resurrected, and how it was resurrected, even after thousands of years, no one could figure it out, not the gods, and neither did the knowledgeable spellcasters.

In the case of encountering evil spirits, the normal way is often not to think about how to destroy them, but to weaken them as much as possible, and when they reach a certain limit, use special magic rituals and items to seal them, and spend a long time to eliminate the evil spirits in order to achieve the goal of complete destruction.

There are many types of evil spirits, each of them has a different way of being born, and each evil spirit has its own characteristics, the only thing that is the same is their weirdness.

You never know when you have been polluted by these evil spirits, and the corruption eventually becomes part of the evil spirits, and this corruption is extremely difficult to eliminate, and at this stage there is no way to test whether it is really eliminated.

The smell of blood began to fill the air, and no matter how violently the animals struggled, there was nothing they could do to change the fate of being sent to the altar, and their souls would be captured by evil spirits while the blood flowed.

The blood-red light was shining, and the natives who had been dancing were already prostrate on the ground, leaving only a few people dressed in strange sacrifices to perform the blood sacrifice ritual, holding dark red daggers made of unknown materials, and taking the beast's life with skillful techniques while ensuring the integrity of the beast's body as much as possible.

The beast that had been drained of blood was neatly placed, and the corpse that had lost its life shook strangely, as if it was still breathing, and people couldn't help but feel numb when they saw it.

When all the beasts were sacrificed, it was the turn of the humans who had plundered from the border villages of the Baltic Empire, and although the barbarians here were also a member of humanity in the broadest sense of the word, they did not consider themselves to be of the same race as the captives in terms of language and culture.

Moreover, these barbarians have a tradition of cannibalism, and when it is confirmed that the people of the tribe are no longer able to create much value and have become a burden, they will sacrifice the blood of these people, or kill them for food.

This kind of cannibalism is not a helpless attempt to survive in the traditional sense, but they have developed such a habit, just as humans have become accustomed to using cattle and sheep as food.

The sound of crying has begun to appear in the crowd, these are just ordinary civilians, in the face of death, or such a strange death, they can't keep calm, even if they cut the ropes on these captives now, untie them, and without anyone chasing them, they can't get out of this strange place.

"Prepare to strike, we will crush those barbarians as quickly as possible. ”

The Wanderers are assigning operations, and this time the mission is the cooperation of several legendary squads, and a mission of this scale is already comparable to a small campaign.

Even during the war with the Attila Empire, missions were rarely carried out by several legendary squads, and more often than not, they competed with each other.

Maybe the Empire asked several legendary squads to cooperate to complete the mission, because they already knew in advance that the target was an evil spirit, because in the face of such evil spirits, ordinary armies are useless.

Without the protection of magic, ordinary soldiers can easily be polluted by evil spirits, distort their minds, take their souls, be controlled by evil spirits, and turn their heads to fight the Empire.

For example, those who have already looked directly at the evil spirits in the field have been infected, and the next step is to go through a complex purification ritual, requiring a long period of time to take some special potion to remove the evil spirit's influence.

If this is not done, even if these people do not appear abnormal for a short period of time, they will still become irritable and irritable, and they will like to use violence to solve problems, and the offspring they will give birth to various defects.

For this reason, other countries have taken a devastating approach to the issue of evil spirits, whether they are victims or not, and those who have been in contact with evil spirits have to deal with them with hot flames.

In the special observation of those spellcasters, the scarlet mist that had turned into a different shape, looking like a common octopus in the sea, but each tentacle had strange eyes, and the eyes kept turning, so it could be concluded that these eyes were not decorations.

According to the records of evil spirits in books, these eyes can be used as a medium for evil spirits to cast spells, or can be used as weapons for attack, of course, there may be other special functions, after all, each evil spirit, even if it looks the same, there are many different places.

The caster quickly looked away from the demon's body, and in the seconds he felt the blood flow in his body increase, and an indescribable anger appeared in his heart, driving him to destroy everything around him.

The first to do it were a few wanderers, who appeared in the crowd, their blades harvesting the lives of the barbarians, their heads rolling to the ground, and countless corpses that had lost their heads sprayed with blood.

Several shielded warriors rushed out of the woods, quickly separating the captives from the barbarians, while the clay golems that followed quickly carried the captives.

A fierce war will break out in the land, and these captives will not only become a burden, but will also be affected by the fighting between the two sides.

The evil spirit took action at the first time, and it can be seen from this that this evil spirit has a lot of combat experience, and it is not the first time it has encountered such a surprise attack.

The corpses of the beasts that had been sacrificed as blood sacrifices flew into the air, gluing together into a strange object that looked like graveyard demons, but was more evil than graveyard demons.

The evil spirit has merged into this body, and after obtaining the body, it has successfully changed from an evil spirit to an evil thing, and has the ability to directly interfere with reality, becoming more difficult.

"Hurry up, burn those corpses. ”

The crimson light began to wreak havoc in the corpse, and the lifeless corpse was quickly reduced to ashes in the heat of the flames, which made it impossible for the evil creature to continue to strengthen.

However, the corpse that has been controlled by the evil spirit seems to have become resistant to flames, and even if it is burned red, there is no sign of damage.

The warrior took the shield and began to retreat, no matter what time it was to engage in melee combat with such a monster, even the slightest contact could cause them trouble, and direct contact with blood and bodily fluids could infect them and degenerate.

They didn't attack, and neither did the evil thing, and the eyes on the beast's corpses began to wander, observing the situation around them, presumably considering where to attack them.

At this time, several hulking stone golems joined the battlefield, and they would take on the role of spearhead in the rest of the battle, using solid bodies made of rock to engage the evil creature.

The evil creatures didn't let the stone golems get close, and the corpses of the beasts opened and closed their mouths, letting out a strange cry that sounded like the whispers of countless crowds in their ears, and it was obvious that this sound could affect the mind.

In the night, the eyes of the evil creature were glinting, and the gray and green rays easily hit the sluggish stone golem, which seemed to cause no damage on the surface, but the stone golem's movements became more sluggish, and a few more times, the stone golems would be confined in place.

"Damn it, the best way to deal with evil creatures is fire, and I hope that the fire elemental will join this battle rather than the stone golem, and completely destroy those corpses, which can effectively weaken the power of this evil thing, especially his regeneration ability. ”

"Don't talk about this, the current spatial thickness of the main plane does not allow you to open the passage to the fire elemental plane, and to deal with such an evil thing, at least to summon a giant fire elemental, we don't have so many rubies to summon those guys. ”

Although the Stone Golem's movements have become slow, the Evil Beast's movements are also not very fast, and due to his size, he has become a target on this battlefield, and he does not need to aim much to get a hit.

Dense fireballs appeared behind the caster, and the flames were indeed the best way to deal with evil creatures, which could effectively suppress the regeneration of evil creatures and weaken their power.

Seeing such a dense fireball, this evil creature didn't know that these enemies were prepared, and the corpses of those beasts that had gathered into flesh giants began to break away from his body, and these legends were surrounded by the whole and zero.

The flesh giants look formidable in their bodies, but they are easy targets for enemies when it comes to actual combat, especially if they have a legendary caster.

Conversely, the Evil Creatures disperse the corpses under their control, which can effectively reduce the damage, and can use the flexibility of these beast corpses to evade the caster's magic.

If it weren't for the coalition of the indigenous tribes of the Ural Mountains that were repeatedly defeated at the hands of the Baltic Empire and lost a lot of strength, this tribe would have been able to hide in this valley and continue to use wild beasts to please this evil spirit.

However, no one knows whether the local natives allowed this tribe to raid the territory of the Baltic Empire, but plundered the people for blood sacrifice.

There was no need for the two sides to talk, the flames had completely turned the land into a sea of fire, and even the thick snow on the ground could not stop the flames from burning and spreading, and the valley had completely turned into a world of flames.

The green and gray shattered the air and flames and struck at the casters, but there was no way to break through the magical defenses built into the air.

In essence, this evil creature already has Legendary-level combat power, and in fact, in the face of several Legendary Spellcasters joining forces, his counterattack is particularly weak.

As the temperature continued to rise, the snow on the ground melted into liquid, which then turned into steam, making the smell of blood in the air less intense.

The corpses of those beasts have been completely taken over by this evil spirit, turned into his doppelganger, and have also been strengthened, faster and stronger, each corpse has the strength of a bison, the tenacity of a bear, the speed of a leopard, and the agility of a cat.

Even without sharp weapons and hard armor, these beasts are able to fight back and forth with the warriors present, and they will not be defeated for a short time.

This evil creature had already realized that the purpose of these enemies in the beginning was to cover the evacuation of those captives, and he divided some of the beasts to attack those captives, hoping to use this method of encircling Wei to save Zhao to make these enemies in a dilemma.

The strengthened beast corpses were extremely fast, and they had successfully crossed the distance of thousands of meters in the blink of an eye, and the clay golems that were carrying the captives had no way to stop these beast corpses with their bulky bodies.

The loitering men who were covering it had already taken out their weapons and started to fight back, and as traditional loiters, their ranged weapons were usually bows and crossbows.

The wanderers who can become legends, their archery skills are at least not inferior to those of the elves, and every shot or something is only the most basic foundation, although the corpses of those beasts are fast enough, and they are finally nailed to the ground by these wanderers with arrows.

They can only be pinned to the ground and restrict their movements, wolves and leopards that are already corpses cannot be killed so easily, with their strengthened bodies, even if they are dismembered organs, they can continue to survive for a long time.

Even if they don't eat, it doesn't matter if they don't have nutrition, the moment they turn into evil things, they have no way to understand it with mortal thinking.

No one dared to stop leaving, and those clay golems were covered with captured captives, if it weren't for the fact that these captives were bound with strong ropes, they had already been affected by evil creatures at this time, and they had become crazy and caused problems for these legends.

The strange song echoed in this valley, and if it could not be resisted with a firm will, it would sink in the song, and at last become as mad as the barbarians just now.

Looking up at the sky, a meteor with a long tail flame is falling, these legendary spellcasters have no intention of sparing, since those captives have been successfully rescued, then it doesn't matter if you destroy this valley in order to deal with this evil thing.

Anyway, there are no druids in this team, and even the druids who accept the idea of the empire have no way to be indifferent to such a destructive thing about the environment, and they will definitely show to stop them from doing so.

The monster, who seemed to have intelligence, sensed the danger and began to fight back frantically towards the legend, but there was no way to break through the defense line of several stone golems.

"Don't run away for him, this evil spirit is smarter than we think, and when faced with no way to defend himself against danger, he will choose to run away, just like humans. ”

"Pay attention to his doppelgangers, don't look with your eyes, feel the madness, in addition to the corpses of these beasts, he may also attach to those insects, those insects that are difficult to observe with the eyes, can make it easier for him to escape our sight. ”

"Flames can do enough damage to him, but the strengthened body is not so easy to destroy, you few beware, don't be touched by those evil creatures, they will corrupt your mind before you know it. ”

The latter sentence is the caster's advice to those melee classes, especially those berserkers, for fear that they will be disregarded and used by the evil creatures when they fight.

The corpses of the beasts, which had been divided by magic and swords, were still slowly wriggling, merging with the rest of the corpses around them, and combining them into even more bizarre-looking monsters.

The flames suppressed the regeneration of these monsters as expected, but they did not completely turn them to ashes, and they were still struggling to survive.

Even if the number doesn't seem to be as large as expected, it still gives people the feeling that they are endless, and they can't be killed no matter how they are.

There was no way, so these casters had to use magic to imprison these monsters as much as possible, hoping that the meteor that was rapidly falling below would solve the problem once and for all.

After seeing the weirdness of this monster, no one wants to get some loot, and the ghost knows if those loot will make things worse.

Just when these legends had completed their mission and were ready to retreat, the uninvited guests who rushed out of the flames stood in front of them, delaying their steps.

The barbarians, who had suffered heavy losses in the initial assault, were now equipped and armed, and began to fight the attackers.

This is a never-ending battle, and it has nothing to do with the combat effectiveness of both sides, the sacrifices that are disturbed, the gods who are attacked, and the only way to calm the anger that keeps pouring up from the depths of the heart can be appeased with the blood and corpses of the invaders.

Two legendary warriors rushed straight into the barbarians and began to kill, no barbarian could stop their blow, and soon they were surrounded by various broken corpses.

The caster quickly incinerates the corpses in the back, and they have to complete this task before the evil thing touches the corpse, and the corpse that gains the power of the evil thing and the ordinary corpse are two things that cannot be compared at all.

Heavy casualties did not stop the barbarians from attacking, and death did not terrify these creatures, but only aroused their ferocity, making their attacks even more insane.

Feeling the addition of these barbarians, the doppelganger of the evil creature began to go crazy, but instead of frantically attacking the enemy, they ran in other directions, trying to leave the place.

The creature had already looked up and seen a meteor descending rapidly, an attack like that would be enough to destroy the entire valley, and even if he was lucky enough not to die with his immortality, it would be too much damage for him to bear.

"He's going to run!"

The experience of these legends is so rich that they have already discovered the movements of the evil creatures from the beginning, and after confirming that the wanderers have taken the captives away, these spellcasters are finally able to attack without their hands and feet.

Although judging by the burning land and the meteors falling from the sky, their previous attacks were already very unleashed.

Now the place where they are located is a valley, low in the middle and high around the periphery, and this environment makes it easy to get in from the outside and difficult to get out from the inside.

Gravity had taken effect on the valley, and like the air had become viscous, even ordinary walking had become extremely difficult, and the beasts had become clumsy, and the barbarians had become even more unbearable.

The originally solid ground turned into muddy bogs at some point, and the bodies that stepped on it were uncontrollably swallowed by the bogs, and the barbarians who had fallen into madness had dropped their weapons and struggled wildly in the bog.

The barbarians' resistance became weaker and weaker, and the battle between the two sides did not change because of their will not to die, and their death did not create much of a chance for the evil creature to escape, but the corpses left behind could be used as fodder for the evil creatures.

Even with its strengthened bodies, the bodies of those beasts could not help the evil creature successfully escape the chain of gravity and swamp magic, and the beasts trapped in the swamp could only struggle, looking up at the fireball in its pupils getting bigger and bigger.

The wanderers had reached safety, and the legendary warrior also put away his weapons, stopped killing the barbarians, and ran towards safety in the distance.

And the caster of the culprit has used all kinds of flying magic to get to a position where he can not be affected by the destruction caused by the impact of the meteor.

Although none of the outsiders present could understand the language of the barbarians, their expressions could still tell how desperate these barbarians were at this moment.

The meteor fell into the valley, and the ground shook violently, and spiderweb-like cracks began to spread on the cliffs around the valley, and as the cracks spread, countless rocks and dirt collapsed downward.

Countless debris was projected into the sky, and under the action of the heat, the ice cubes were melting rapidly, and in such an inopportune place, at an inopportune time, a beautiful rainbow was introduced.

The flame that had not been extinguished burned more fully, and the dazzling light could be faintly seen even from a very distant distance, and the black column of smoke rising into the sky was even more eye-catching.

The flames were burning, and everything in this valley, whether it was trees, buildings, stones and dirt, was burning, as if the region had been pulled into the fire elemental plane.

The billowing smoke and the smoke from the impact made it impossible to see what was going on in the ruined valley beneath, but there was no chance that the barbarians would survive.

Such an attack would not have been possible even for a well-prepared legend to come unscathed, let alone in this barbarian tribe, where even a strong man who had reached the legend had not appeared.

It didn't take long for the meteor to collide with the ground, and the barbarians standing on the ground were all evaporated and turned into ashes, and the scorching breeze gently blew, and the land was completely turned into ruins.

Not only the high cliffs next to it, but even the already low-lying valleys could not withstand such a blow, and in the raging fire, narrow cracks began to appear, revealing the bottomless abyss inside.

It is conceivable that when the aftermath of this battle is completely gone, it will be occupied by lakes and a rare view in the Ural Mountains.

The fertile land and lakes will attract tribal contention, and this artificially created paradise will be mired in the nightmare of war for a long time.

The warriors and wanderers who had moved away from the safety of the place, their eyes wide as they watched the spectacle that appeared here, even though they had seen and experienced the brutal battles of the Attila Empire, could not help but marvel at the devastation that the legendary caster was able to wreak.

The casters in the sky couldn't help but squint their eyes, they summoned the wind elemental to form a breeze, constantly blowing away the black smoke and dust that spread out, the black smoke and dust had seriously affected their perception, and they needed to confirm the situation of the evil object that was the target.

Subconsciously, they don't think that such an attack can completely destroy the evil thing, if it is just so simple to be able to kill the evil thing, they will be completely wiped out as early as the time of the gods, instead of being sealed up, and after a long time, there will be some troublesome chaos.

The scorching breeze finally blew away the black smoke and dust, and the ruined valley was completely exposed to the eyes of the people, and the original lake was left with a crater of lava, and the churning magma slowly swallowed the surrounding land.

The falling meteor was gone, and in the middle of the crater was a black, carapace-like oval-shaped object, like a black egg.

Viscous, slow-flowing lava dripped down the surface of the egg, looking like it had been carved into the surface, a strange dark red pattern, but it showed that the egg was not as simple as it seemed.

Sure enough, he wasn't dead yet. ”

"Don't go near him. ”

The old caster reminded his teammates that they could feel the vitality of the black egg, even from a distance.

Without going into too much detail, everyone present knew that the strange egg that appeared below was the evil creature that had just fought them, and the terrible attack did not kill the evil creature in the end.

"What should I do? ”

A certain spellcaster suggested that even the magic of meteor fall, not even magma, could completely kill the evil thing, and he began to think about sealing it, just like many people used to deal with evil things, using the seal to temporarily put the problem aside and leave it to a long time to solve.

"We can't leave this thing here, the nature of the evil thing is that everyone here has learned about it in books, and if we leave it alone, we will be in big trouble in the Ural Mountains. ”

"Obviously, we can't count on the natives here to solve this problem for us, they will even help this problem continue to grow, and guide this problem into the territory of the Empire. ”

The young spellcaster continued.

"Well, we can't leave this thing behind. ”

The old casters agreed with this view, they had come with a mission from the Empire, and if this evil creature was allowed to grow unscrupulously, it was conceivable that the situation on this side of the Ural Mountains would become erosive, which would most likely affect the Baltic Empire's offensive against the United Kingdom.

It is very likely that this evil creature is the work of those druids, and it is very likely that they transferred a sealed evil creature here, and used the special environment of the Ural Mountains to contain the Baltic Empire.

Thinking of this, the old spellcaster shook his head, the reason why those snowy mountain druids stood on the opposite side of the Baltic Empire was because of their insistence on the original druidic teachings, they would not choose to use evil things to contain the Baltic Empire in order to win and survive.

To a certain extent, evil creatures are natural enemies, and druids of any sect will never compromise with them, nor will they cooperate with them, and only one side will survive when the two meet.

Anyone who has anything to do with evil will lose their natural favor and will be disgusted by nature, which is reflected in the fact that the druids will lose their ability to perform magic, lose their druid qualifications, and even their animal companions will turn away from them and give up fighting with them, turning them from high spellcasters into ordinary mortals with empty knowledge that is difficult to use.

"Let's seal him up first, contact those assassins, and tell the upper echelons of the empire about the situation here, and then it's their business how to deal with it. ”

This is obviously a cunning decision, and it is also a decision that is neither the best nor the worst for them, and in a way, it is a real shirk of responsibility.

The rest of the spellcasters looked at each other and nodded in agreement, they couldn't find a better way, the books they had read in the past didn't tell them how to kill the evil and completely eliminate the evil thing's effects.

Soon, the warriors and wanderers on the ground received the caster's decision, and they let the clay golems continue to protect the captives and make sure that they would not mess with their next actions, and then walked up to the caster with their weapons in hand, and stood on guard.

Many sealed spells require corresponding magic rituals, require expensive casting materials, require a quiet environment and a long preparation time, and these casters cannot be disturbed in the process of sealing this evil thing.

This is not their territory after all, and those natives are likely to attack at this time, and with their current strength and state, they will definitely fall into a bitter battle, and if they are unlucky, there will even be casualties and losses.

Moreover, don't look at the evil thing that seems to have no ability to resist, but no one can tell what the real situation is, the weirdness of the evil thing is not covered by the knowledge recorded in the books, it is possible that the posture he is showing now is deliberate, what he wants is to let these legends lower their vigilance in order to find an opportunity.

After all, evil creatures are such strange things as they are not suitable for dissection and various experiments, and even if each evil thing has a similar appearance, their abilities will still be slightly different, or completely different.

Judging evil things with past experience, such fools have never been lacking in any era, and have since become negative teaching materials that have been recorded in books.

The originally hot temperature began to drop, and the scorching warm wind turned into a bitter cold wind, and I don't know when the sky has been covered with delicate snowflakes, densely covering the entire sky.

The stones that had finally solidified began to appear dense cracks on the surface, the sound of shattering came and went, and the fragility caused by thermal expansion and contraction could not even resist the solid magmatic rock.

It was still winter, and the caster was able to easily cool down the furnace-like valley with the help of the clouds in the sky, and the black egg erected in the pit was already covered in transparent ice.

Ice-blue runes appeared on the surface of the ice, orderly and neatly arranged, looking mysterious and strange, but also exuding a palpitating aura.

This is the magic that was originally only circulated in the Northlands, but when the Baltic Empire completed the integration of the remaining scattered spellcaster schools in the Northlands, these runic spells came into the eyes of the spellcasters, and they studied and systematically integrated them.

The spellcasters of the Baltic Empire had no inherent mindset, they were all practical pragmatists under the influence of Alice, and efficiency was a priority for all kinds of magic.

The ice-blue wind blew around the black egg, and countless snowflakes were slowly falling on the surface of the black egg.

What is particularly strange is that the volume of the ice cube does not increase with the absorption of snowflakes, and no matter how you look at it, it is still thin, solid and a few centimeters thick.

The seal continues, and it looks like it's going well

If there are no accidents, no matter how strange the evil thing is, he will not be able to escape this fate, and what awaits him will be a long time, from the erosion of time, or to Alice's hands, with Alice's equally strange methods, the fate of this evil thing may not be simply a simple death.

In any case, the evil creatures that are still in the main plane are very rare, and if she can get a living individual, Alice must be very happy.

The study of evil objects will provide Alice with a lot of inspiration, which is of great significance for the use of negative energy, and for the use and use of evil.

If you can delve into the body of the evil thing, you can imagine that the use of the evil thing's ability on those undead will make her undead army undergo a metamorphosis in essence.

Evil creatures and undead spirits are more or less related, and many famous evil creatures live in the underworld with strong negative energy, or it is precisely because of these evil creatures that the place where they live becomes the underworld without any life.

"Be careful, he's starting to resist!"

The old spellcaster's voice suddenly remembered, shattering the silence of the entire valley and making everyone present nervous, focusing on the black egg in the center.

A crack the size of a fingernail appeared on the surface of the ice that encased it, and although the crack was repaired by the runes engraved on the surface in just a few seconds, the significance of the crack could not be ignored in the slightest.

This evil creature has not lost the ability to resist, he is resisting, trying to resist the fate that is about to be sealed.

Like the sound of a heart beating echoed in his ears, the heart in his chest involuntarily beat rhythmically with the sound, the blood in his body accelerated and collapsed, and the uncontrollable desire for destruction attracted those warriors to insert the weapons in their hands into the hearts of their companions.

"Attention, there's something strange about the voice. ”

Such confusion could not mislead the minds of the warriors, and their wills were strong enough to keep them sane and sober in their frenzied state.

"Don't be fooled by this voice, he doesn't have much ability to resist anymore, keep going, our sealing magic is working. ”

As soon as these words fell, reality gave the person who said this a hard slap, and the black egg wrapped in cold ice began to compress inward, quickly freeing up enough space.

As the egg shrank, the ice on the surface of the seal became an empty shell, and the shrunken egg quickly began to decay in the eyes of the caster.

The corrupted strange substance began to change, like clay in a child's hand, constantly changing all kinds of strange shapes, but there was no fixed shape, like a slime like jelly.

"Hurry up, stop him. ”

"We can't stop it, we can't break the outer seal in a short period of time. ”

"With dissociation, hurry. ”

"No, dissociation will break this seal, are you crazy, you want to release this evil thing. ”

The caster was rarely flustered, and the ice that was originally used to seal it had become the shield of this evil creature at this time, and such a solid ice, even if the magic ritual of the seal was stopped now, could not be broken in a short period of time.

This is not to say that the evil is more cunning than these casters think, but also because the casters do not have a sufficient understanding of the evil things.

"Give me calm, is it useful to panic at this time?"

"Don't stop this ritual, let's continue, he won't be able to break our seal in a short time. ”

"Before he broke through our seal, you were the first to mess up, what does this look like? Do you read all your books about dogs? Can you still be called a legend?"

The old spellcaster stepped forward and managed to salvage the situation, and his reprimand caused the panicked legends around him to calmly think about how to solve the current problem.

However, the slightly freed evil creature obviously did not want to stay in this small and cold space any longer, and he was now in the form he was when he did not obtain a body and was still an evil spirit.

With countless tentacles, the tentacles are covered with black and white eyes, and no matter what angle you look at, you can feel that there are countless eyes watching you.

touch

The seemingly slender tentacles slammed into the ice, making a violent crashing sound.

Once again, slight cracks appeared in the solid ice, and although these cracks were quickly repaired, they still gave the legend present a sense of insecurity.

Even the warriors standing in the front row with shields in their hands had no doubt that such an attack could easily pull them away with their shields.

"Go on, don't stop, don't give him a chance to come out. ”

The caster is reinforcing the seal, and in cases where the legendary warriors are not fit to fight the demon, their caster has become the absolute workhorse.

The temperature was still dropping, and their breath had turned into white breath, no matter what the cold temperature had no effect on the evil spirits who had turned into spirits.

As time passed, although the evil spirit was still resisting, it still failed to escape from the seal, and the runes that shone with ice blue light kept absorbing the surrounding ice energy to strengthen the seal that did not look strong.

"Your magic has no effect on this demon. ”

The warriors began to complain jokingly that they could not see the possibility of victory in the battle against the demon, even though the demon had been successfully captured and was being sealed.

If it weren't for this seal, which could use the surrounding environment to automatically reinforce and repair, these spellcasters would be busy.

As time passed, the caster's magic, energy, and stamina declined, and even a caster who had reached the level of legend could not do it for long.

Even if they all carried enough potions to replenish their consumption, there was no way to drink those potions as water, and drinking a large amount of them in a short period of time was likely to cause their bodies to collapse.

Potions are such a thing, effective and effective, but ordinary people drinking them at will may cause all kinds of problems, after all, the things that the caster makes are all kinds of instability.

"To contact the garrison in the Ural Mountains, we need support. ”

"Don't, don't go to them. ”

"You've all seen how weird this evil thing is, and it's a burden for mortals who haven't reached the legendary level to come here, and I don't want to have to be distracted by taking care of those guys when dealing with this evil thing. ”

The wanderer's complaints brought them to silence, and no one could maintain the confident expression they had before, and compared to the evil spirit in front of them, what had been recorded in the books before them was particularly pale at this time.

"Anyway, we need support right now. In our current state, there is no way to transport this thing, we need more helpers, and only the caster above the legendary can help us. ”

"Ansel, go and inform the defenders of the Ural Mountains and ask them to mobilize the legends who are stationed here to support us, we need help. ”

"Remember to ask them to send someone to pick up these mortals, we may need to get rid of this evil spirit here once and for all, their stay here will affect us. ”

The old spellcaster gave orders to the wanderer named Ansel, and after seeing the strangeness of the evil spirit, he truly understood that no matter how cautious he should be in the face of such an enemy.

Whether it was to transport this thing to Jutland or to settle it completely on this land, they could not do it now.

"Okay, I see. ”

Ansel the Wanderer nodded, and his shadow turned into a swift gallop towards the castle where the garrison was, and at the speed of the Wanderer, it would take half an hour to notify the garrison there.

Ansel's combat effectiveness is not very outstanding among the many wanderers on the battlefield, and his speed can only be regarded as decent, but in terms of the ability to escape, others are incomparable to him.

It is believed that even if there are any special situations on the road, Ansel will be able to successfully convey the information here to the commanders of the garrison, and with the current strength of the Baltic Empire in the Ural Mountains, they have enough confidence.

After Goliath died completely in Rose, even sneaky small actions are rare, no one wants to be attacked by the Empire because of a little suspicion, and those assassins in the Imperial Intelligence are not easy to fool.

Ansel soon returned to the castle and met with the Legionnaire, who was presiding over the affairs of the Ural Mountains, and told him about their battle against the demons, but the Legion's answer surprised him.

"A dozen legends can't solve that evil spirit, do you think I can solve it if I send more people? There aren't that many legends in the castle that can be mobilized. ”

The Legion Commander said disapprehantly

"That evil spirit will destroy this place, there is no way for mortals to stop his erosion, even if the legend comes into contact with him for a long time, it is very likely that he will fall. ”

"We must solve this trouble, whether we find a way to kill him completely, or seal him up and send him to Jutland for a few highnesses to decide. ”

Ansel hopes to make the Legion Commander aware of the seriousness of the situation, and realize that this evil spirit, if not dealt with in time, will seriously threaten the safety of the Imperial garrison, and will seriously affect the Empire's various strategies in the east.

"Has this evil spirit existed for a long time?"

The Legion Commander asked rhetorically.

"Yes, that tribe has believed in this evil spirit for a long time, probably hundreds of years. But for some reason, we didn't receive any information about it before. ”

Ansel didn't know why the Legion Commander was paying attention to this place, but he answered honestly.

"If this evil spirit is really as difficult as you say, it can strengthen itself through constant hunting, blood sacrifices, and soul devouring, and it can constantly corrode and corrode the surrounding environment. ”

"Then why are the Ural Mountains still so primitive for hundreds of thousands of years, and why did Goliath and now Levi turn a blind eye to this evil spirit and do nothing?"

Ansel didn't know how to answer this question, he was a good wanderer, but he was not a qualified politician, and he had not been exposed to this kind of political affairs in the past.

"It's not that I don't believe your words, Ansel. The world is much more complicated than you think, it seems that the Ural Mountains have calmed down, but the world is turbulent, those natives are absolutely unwilling to accept our domination of them, they always want the Ural Mountains to be completely independent. ”

"Many books have recorded the weirdness of evil spirits, but this world is still functioning normally, if evil spirits are really so troublesome, when the gods leave our world, the whole world will be destroyed because of evil spirits. ”

The Legion Commander patted Ansel on the shoulder and said comfortingly.

"Believe me, if I let our legend leave the castle, as soon as the front foot leaves, the tribes on the back foot will surround the castle and destroy it completely regardless of casualties. ”

"I can't afford this responsibility, and neither can you. ”

The Legion's words left Ansel with no reason to refute it, and he also had no way to bear the consequences of the Baltic Empire's expulsion from the Ural Mountains.

"Ansel, even if the evil spirits are as weird as you say, what does it matter? Do you remember your mission?"

"Your mission is to take out the tribe and rescue our captured civilians, and now that you've done both of these tasks well, don't continue to worry about the evil spirit. ”

Ansel was dumbfounded by the Legion's words, he had never expected to hear such words from the Legion's Commander's mouth.

"However, if you don't get rid of this evil spirit, when he becomes a climate......"

"Don't worry, he won't be in the climate, the natives of the Ural Mountains are more anxious than we are, this is the Ural Mountains, where their ancestors have lived for generations, and they don't want to see their homeland completely destroyed than to drive us invaders out. ”

"I don't believe Levi and they can control this demon, they can be 100% confident about this demon. ”

Obviously, the commander of the army was trying to use evil spirits to cause trouble for the natives of the Ural Mountains, and now the center of gravity of the Baltic Empire was to the west, to complete the unification of the entire Northlands.

At such a juncture, the Legion Commander was reluctant to take the risk of being taken advantage of by these natives of the Ural Mountains to deal with the evil spirit.

“…… If what we see is true, then why has this evil spirit not really developed for so many years, why didn't it take the initiative to attack us in the past, Commander, have you thought about this question?"

Ansel took a deep breath, the icy air calming his hot brain.

"It's just such speculation, but there is no way to prove that this evil spirit has anything to do with the natives, you must know that the primitive cannibal barbarians are the excluded people no matter where they are. ”

There is no way to convince this legion commander without the slightest evidence of speculation, and it is absolutely impossible for him to increase these risks without sufficient reasons.

“……”

"It seems that I can't convince you with words, and then I will report the information of this evil spirit to Jutland, and I think Jutland will pay attention to this evil spirit. ”

Ansel wasn't going to waste any more words, he believed that Jutland would definitely give the order to deal with the evil spirit, and if the evil spirit was not paid enough attention, their team would not be made up of so many legends.

The legends who were sealing the evil spirits and waiting didn't know about the quarrel that took place at the station, and they didn't know that their wait was ultimately in vain, and Ansel would bring back bad news.

"It's getting more and more active, and where the hell does this evil spirit get so much energy from, and his regeneration can't be explained by known magical theories. ”

Looking at the evil spirits trapped in the ice and constantly attacking the ice with their tentacles, the caster complained with a bad face.

"I think you're crazy, if the evil spirit can be explained by our theories, is he still an evil spirit? Catch this evil spirit and put it in the laboratory to study it? ”

The other spellcasters took the time to complain.

As time passed, the casters began to rest in batches, and as long as the blizzard in the sky did not stop, this seal continued to absorb the surrounding cold qi to strengthen and repair, and now it has been strengthened to the extent that the evil spirits are helpless.

"We've tried all sorts of things, and this demon's regeneration power is completely beyond our original estimates, and there is no way to inflict fatal damage on him with ice, fire, acid, or lightning. ”

"Alright, we just need to wait for Ansell's reinforcements, and hopefully the Legion Commander will take this evil spirit seriously, and I don't want to fight him on the battlefield one day. ”

The old spellcaster, who had faintly become the leader, intervened in the conversation of several people.

"How's that going, Victor, with our friends?"

"They're not in a good situation, they need a quiet environment to deal with the influence of the evil spirits on them, and they need some special potions to calm these guys, if we have druids in our team, it's simple. ”

"Druids, I haven't seen them in weeks, and the Empire seems to have given them orders to go to the battlefields to the west. ”

"It's those Snow Mountain Druids, this time the Snow Mountain Druids are on the opposite side of us, they are preparing for the Beast Tide, and when the spring comes, they will use the Beast Tide to storm our camps and towns, and those Druids who have been transferred to the west are trying to find a way to deal with the Beast Tide. ”

In the small talk, the tension was eased, and it seemed that Ah Sheng's affairs in Scandinavia were still far away from them, and when this task was completed, they would get a short break.

However, everyone present put part of their minds on the evil spirit, to ensure that accidents would not happen when they were negligent, and that the evil spirit would not break through the seal.

With the reinforcement of the seal, as long as there will be no external factors to interfere, this evil spirit will certainly not be able to successfully escape, but the blizzard in the sky cannot be broken, and this blizzard has become the energy source of the seal.

"Don't let your guard down, keep an eye out for enemy loiters or assassins roaming around, and don't give them a chance to interfere with our seals. ”

The invisible minions have spread to a radius of two kilometers, and these magically crafted minions are a little dull, but they are still good enough for early warning.

"After Goliath's death, the natives here obeyed Levi's orders, he was originally just Golia's bodyguard, and he relied on obtaining Golia's inheritance, taking over her army and tribe, and then successfully persuaded several other leaders to loot those weak tribes last winter, and survived the bitter winter smoothly. ”

Ostensibly, he chose to submit to the Empire, providing sufficient convenience for the Empire's activities in the Ural Mountains, and often sending emissaries to Jutland with various valuable gifts. ”

The old spellcaster Victor was spreading the situation of the Ural Mountains to his companions, and on the surface the Baltic Empire had an all-round advantage, but in fact there was an undercurrent surging under the calm sea.

"Such a talent is a real danger, Levi will definitely seize this opportunity to find a way to cause trouble for the Empire, and even I have reason to suspect that this demon-controlled tribe will attack the Empire's villages, it is his plot. ”

"There is no way for a man like Levi to surrender to the Empire with peace of mind, and now, before the fall of the United Kingdom, is his last chance to turn the tables around. ”

"When the Empire completely settles the United Kingdom, the situation on this side of the Ural Mountains will be settled, and something as strange as an evil spirit will indeed cause trouble for the Empire, but I absolutely do not believe that the Empire will not be able to solve such troubles. ”

"Even the gods and the empire can solve them, let alone this evil spirit. The Northland is still the Northland of the Empire after all, and even if there is any accident, it is a small trouble that does not affect the whole situation. ”

Victor's analysis aroused the approval of the rest of the people around him, and after getting used to fighting evil spirits, they found that the real difficulty of evil spirits lies in the weirdness, and as long as they get used to this weirdness, it is not as difficult to solve as imagined to make the unknown known.

"Wait, someone's coming!

Victor's face suddenly changed, and he reminded the people around him loudly.

"Is it Ansel? Is it Ansel who brought our reinforcements?"

"It's not Ansel, it's not our people, it's the enemy, get ready for battle. ”

The invisible minions in the distance are being quickly eliminated, and this kind of thing that was originally used for reconnaissance and vigilance does not have much combat power, even a weak goblin can easily deal with it.

"Those civilians, those civilians are still on the periphery. ”

"It's okay, there's a clay golem over there. ”

"Without other help, the bulky clay golem is the target. ”

"Ignore those civilians, we are optimistic about this evil spirit, those people should be coming for us, they are here to save this evil spirit. ”

"Calm me down. ”

Victor stepped forward and interrupted the argument of several people.

"It's fast, I've been able to see them. ”

At the edge of the valley, in the forests that were still intact, figures in rudimentary clothes could be faintly seen, breathing with a sense of madness,

"It's werewolves, they smell blood. ”

"No, it's not that they smell blood, it's that they already knew we were here, and sure enough, this evil spirit was deliberately released by Levi, it's a trap!"

Everyone, including the warriors and wanderers, turned extremely ugly.

They are indeed legends, but after experiencing the battle with the evil spirit, their combat effectiveness has been somewhat affected, and there is still that difficult evil spirit behind them, and they also need to take into account those civilians who do not have the slightest combat effectiveness.

More and more werewolves rushed out of the forest, vaguely enveloping these legends, and behind these werewolves, there were some ogres with thick branches.

Such a team may look like a rabble, but when the shamans in strange costumes come into view, the team's combat effectiveness changes dramatically.

The snowflakes falling from the sky have a tendency to slow down, and as the number of people increases, the environment is no longer as cold as it was at the beginning, and no one knows better than those who cast spells.

"What to do ......"

The eyes of everyone present were on Victor, the oldest spellcaster who had experienced the most things, and it made his shoulders feel a heavy pressure.

It is to abandon this evil spirit that has not been completely sealed, and turn away

Or continue to stay here and fight against a prepared enemy in such an unfavorable situation

Left and right, but these are just two options

"We stayed, Ansell's reinforcements came back very quickly, and we didn't need to support for long. ”

"We have completely destroyed the surrounding environment with that meteorite before, we can use those cracks in the ground to defend ourselves, and with the swamp technique, we can hold out for a long time. ”

Victor glanced at the abyss at the bottom of the ground and made the choice to continue resisting.

"Victor, we don't have enough arrows, and we can't help in the next battle. ”

Several wanderers reminded them that without ammo they had no means of long-range attacks, even though they were just as terrifyingly lethal with their short swords.

"There's us ahead, don't be afraid. ”

Several warriors with shields tapped their weapons against their shields.

"I think you'll have ammunition later. ”

Victor stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the enemy in the distance.

The gnolls drew their bows and arrows, and aimed them for fire.

Judging by the style of the bow and arrow, whether it was produced in the Jutland factory, or the latest generations of weapons, according to the relevant regulations, it was put on the list of prohibited sales.

"That guy Levi, what he did before was really just posturing!"

Victor said hatefully.

No one knows better than they the extent to which these Jutland weapons are a threat to the legend.
