Chapter Seventy-Two: The Shadow of War
(PS: Just a shift, ask for a day off, today I took the child to do child care, delayed for a day, people are very tired, ask for a leave.) )
The Flood Desolate Continent is too big, the various alliance empires occupy a huge area, and the population is tens of billions and hundreds of billions, but it is still vast and sparsely populated, between alliances and alliances, and between empires and empires, there are a lot of blank areas between empires, and the wild areas that Hao led the team to cross before belong to such a blank area, in fact, although these blank areas are barren, but they are not without people, in addition to Warcraft, there are actually many tribes, whether it is a human tribe or a tribe of ten thousand races, these barren areas are actually a lot of people.
And outside the border area of the Elven Empire facing the alliance of vassal races such as the Plant Alliance, a black oppressive cyclone rose from the ground, and on the ground, a terrifying wail erupted from the soul furnace of the underworld camp, as if thousands of men and women were wailing in unison, this sound was filled with unimaginable pain, it was a pain deeper than despair, if it was described by color, it was not black, not white, but gray eternal brother pain.
With this terrifying wail, in these soul furnaces, there is a green light bursting into the sky, reflecting the entire sky in a green and terrifying color, with these soul furnaces as the core, the surrounding land is dyed dark green and almost black, from these lands there are underworld magic arrays emerged, in the magic array, countless dry bones suddenly appeared, and ghosts poured out, rotting corpses, terrifying monsters......
In just one morning, with the soul furnace as the central point, this area has been completely covered by all kinds of undead creatures, tens of millions of all kinds of undead creatures roam here, most of them seem to be undead, only a small number of undead creatures have intelligence, they rely on unknown means to control these undead undead, driving them towards the border area away from the elves.
On a soul furnace, a ragged, translucent skeleton asked, "Is that all?" the Terror Knight will not talk about, the Black Knight, the Death Scythe, the Twisted Shadow...... There aren't many of these, what the hell does the Eternal Council think. ”
Next to this translucent skeleton, there were several ghosts levitating, and one of the ghosts said: "My lord, there is a mutation in the low latitudes, the 'god' seems to have been hit hard, and a large number of intellect people have to be sent to fill the eternal flame, and the forces everywhere are tight, the council hopes that the adults can plunder more souls as soon as possible, and the troops here are already the largest of several invasion points." ”
"Low Latitude ...... 'God' ......"
The translucent skeleton muttered a few words, but it was silent.
Although it is a native creature of the Nine Netherworld, it became a demigod lich five thousand years ago, but since then, it has not stayed in the Nine Netherworld for a long time, relying on the power of the Eternal Council powers, it and dozens of undead souls have infiltrated the material world, it has incarnated as a high-level magician, collecting information about the material world, for use in the future when the next plane attacks the material world, so it is very familiar with the material world, and also knows the major events that have happened in the material world in recent years.
Since the accession of the two emperors to the throne and the end of the war of all races, there have been many things that have happened during the period, but there are actually only a few things that really shocked the flood and desolation of all races, and the most influential and profound one is undoubtedly the rise of the Venerable.
The existence of that Venerable made it go from surprise to horror, it was a feeling of the protagonist of the era, rising invincible all the way, and in the end it fell into the low latitude with the two emperors, thinking of the horror of the Venerable, it did not think that the Venerable would be eroded by the disorientation of the "god" they believed in after going to the low latitude, on the contrary, although it was a great rebellion, but from its own thoughts, it felt that the Venerable would be above everything in the low latitude, and the actions of the Eternal Council just illustrated this.
But this is taboo, it can't have any advice, and it immediately said: "I'll try my best, the big army can't come up now, there are only so many elite troops, I must personally lead the army, fortunately, since the end of the war of all races, the lambs of the material world have forgotten the truth of this world, and now they are all slackened, these troops should be enough...... I decided to destroy the Plant Alliance first. ”
The ghosts were silent for a while, and the leader said, "Your Excellency, please explain the reason, and we will report it and record it in the council's message." ”
And it said, " The Plant Alliance is not the weakest alliance around, but there are dryads, dryads, forest spirits and other races in that alliance, which is the favorite race of demons and devils, when the first war of all races, demons and demons captured many tree spirits, dryads, forest spirits, etc., captured them back to the abyss and Barto Hell, and corrupted them into many high demons and devils, such as tree spirits are most suitable for degeneration into abyss succubi, or hell banshees and the like, it is said that after the fall of tree spirits, dryads, forest spirits, etc., have the potential to become high demons and devils, I decided to capture the plant alliance, capture these high-quality lives, and use them to exchange souls with demons, devils, and demon refiners...... I'm going to build my soul magic tower too. ”
The ghosts were silent again, and they seemed to be recording something every time they were silent, and after a while, the ghost in charge continued: "Understood, my lord, the life tax set by the council is seventy percent, and the adults have thirty percent of the life harvest, if there is nothing else, please use the seal." ”
The translucent skeleton thought for a moment, the green soul fire in its eye sockets flickered a few times, and after a moment it said, "Nothing else, remember, every life cycle, reinforcements must be in place." As he spoke, it stretched out its bony fingers and pointed at the ghost, which had an extra mark on it.
After reaching this step, the surrounding ghosts surrounded the ghost, and they actually began to eat the ghost, and gnawed it clean inch by inch, and saw a little spiritual light disappear into nothingness, and the ghosts actually sang a terrifying tone, as if to praise the gods, and at the same time envy the return of this companion to the embrace of the gods.
The translucent skeleton is a little creepy, although it is an undead creature, and it is also the original inhabitant of the Nine Netherworlds, but in the thousands of years since it came to the material world, it has actually been affected by the thoughts of the material world, if it were not for the decision of the Eternal Council, the highest authority of the underworld camp, to invade the material world on a large scale, it would have forgotten its origin many times.
The lower plane is distorted, chaotic, crazy, and terrifying, it didn't understand it before, but after living in the material world for thousands of years, it has understood that the lower plane is wrong and abnormal, and it is too deeply affected by the low latitudes, including their existence itself is abnormal, and this abnormality also includes almost everything in the lower plane, such as the intelligent undead creatures in the Nine Netherworlds, what they most desire is to die completely, return to the arms of "gods", and become part of "gods", and their "gods" It is the loss of one of the three supreme secret beings, and the main idea of the Nine Netherworld is that they are lost in life and need to return to the truth, and this truth is the "god", and they can return to the eternal fire or direct death, which is a great joy and their highest pursuit.
But all this makes the translucent skeletons that have been in the material world for thousands of years and have almost washed away the distortion of their thoughts are terrifying...... Although it is true that there are only bones.
It wasn't until the ghosts from the Eternal Council had left that the demigod lich looked up into the distance, where there was life, souls, lots of lives, lots of souls, and the fire of souls in its eyes was blazing, it was the longing for the wild, the desire to be strong, the desire to be strong enough to resist its fate......
The thought came abruptly, went in a hurry, and only said two or three words to Hao before and after, except for the first sentence, the other words were just casual greetings, and then left in a hurry, as if she was just here to say hello.
Only Hao knew that Nian Zhi had a heart, she came here just to give him a war warning, and no one heard that sentence at that time, and then she deliberately acted like she just came over to say hello, but also to protect Hao, otherwise, the daughter of a border marquis met and intersected with a human being, although Nian Zhi would be ridiculed by others, but it was likely to be a disaster for Hao.
"War...... Is it coming?"
Hao waited until Nianzhi left, he continued to lead the clan back to the station, and then he immediately rushed back to his room, and took out the maps between the border and the border of the Elven Empire that he had drawn recently, and then Hao looked at these maps, and a lot of information began to appear in his mind.
The strength of the underworld camp, the movement of their marches, their goals, the speed of their marches, the reactions of the rest of the major alliances, the reactions of the Elven Empire, and the deployment of troops in the border areas of the Plant Alliance......
"Their target ......"
Hao looked at the border of the Plant Alliance, he wrote on this border the tree spirits, dryads, forest spirits and other plant alliance races, and then thought about it, and wrote the demons, devils, purgatory, the three strongest forces in the lower planes, he looked at the map for a long time, and finally drew a circle on the border of the Plant Alliance.
After all this was done, Hao's eyes looked at the location next to Sulan City, where there was......
A Thousand Caves!
