Chapter 263: The Fortress Dilemma
Alantir in the barracks, after hearing Soram's roar, sighed helplessly.
What should come will always come, since the beginning of the riot last night, he expected such a situation, but there is no way, although the necromancer believes in the dark side of Asha, it is said that such an orthodox god belief should be classified as the camp of justice and accepted by the world, but this is not the case, the contradiction between the dead and the living will not change at all because of the problem of faith.
Just like this time, even with Alantil's fame, it is still difficult to resist the discrimination and hostility in the hearts of the world.
"If you want to promote the glory of Yasha, you have a long way to go......," Alantir sighed as he got up and walked towards the gate of the barracks, and in order to show his heart, he didn't even bring a guard, and just met the army of the Kingdom of Bradaka, which was eyeing him.
Seeing Arantir appear, the Naga snake demons suddenly narrowed their vertical pupils, and their mouths hissed angrily, just waiting for Esquil to give an order, they would rush up and slash at the knife, slashing Alantir into several pieces, and the magic elves also opened their arms, and the palms of their hands emitted a magical light, and countless electric flashes sparked on the Titans' bodies, and the storm began to brew at their fingertips.
However, Arantir turned a blind eye to such a scene, he walked to the gate of the barracks with his staff, looked at Eschel, and said in a deep voice: "I understand your anger, but what I want to say is, please think calmly, don't fall for the devil's tricks!" ”
Soram was as frantic as the lightning magic he had practiced, and before Esquil could reply, he scrambled to speak, "Damn it! So far, you still want to push it on the head of the demon!? Put away your ridiculous lies, wizard, the people of the entire Asan world know that those soul-stealing demons are evil, but they are recognized as experts at playing with fire, how did it get into your mouth, and the demons can still command the undead!? ”
Soram's words, Esquire and Gru, both looked at Alantir with twinkling eyes.
Indeed, in any case, everyone understands that demons have always been very disgusting to the undead, because the undead will not let them plunder any souls, and the world has the impression that demons often appear with fire and destruction, and it has never been heard of demons creating undead.
The zombies that ravaged the fortress last night were all undead creatures, and in the entire fortress, only Alantir was a necromancer who controlled the power of death, and he was naturally the object of everyone's suspicion.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if last night's riot was really caused by me, then why am I still here waiting for you to come?" In the face of doubts, Alantir was still calm, and he said unhurriedly: "To put it bluntly, under that kind of huge riot, the success rate of me taking the opportunity to capture the fortress is very high, but I honestly stayed in the barracks, and did not even take a step out of the barracks, doesn't this still explain the problem?" ”
"Hmph, maybe you have other plans, trying to paralyze us with this gesture?" A Bradaka's mage hero snorted coldly when he heard this.
Alantir glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "I know that you Bradakas are very hostile to necromancers, but please don't insult your and my wisdom with such illogical guesses, knowledge is power, and what you haven't seen doesn't mean it doesn't exist!" ”
After saying that, he ignored the mage hero and continued to say to Eschel: "I don't know what happened when that demon appeared in the city of Yoranbris, but when I met him in the Desert of Death, he was not only accompanied by a fallen angel and a huge hellhound, but also a corpse witch who obeyed him!" ”
"Corpse witch?" Eschel frowned.
"Yes!" Alantir nodded affirmatively: "Maybe it's through the demon contract or something, that corpse witch is indeed used by demons, and it still seems to be quite powerful, at least when I met them, that corpse witch controlled thousands of undead troops, and after the battle, I was defeated by that demon and could only retreat, and those high-level undead troops under my command should also fall into the control of that corpse witch after I was defeated." ”
"Even then, a corpse witch can't cause this, right?" Gru also frowned and said, "If those zombies are controlled by the corpse witch, then it must be at least very close to the fortress, in this case, our patrol troops can easily spot it!" ”
"And!" Esquill added, "From what I know about the undead, even if it's a real corpse witch, it's impossible to create a plague, but last night's riot was caused by the plague, how do you explain that?" ”
Arantir shook his head slowly, and said, "I can't explain it, because I don't know much about that demon, although my intuition tells me that it was that demon who has already caused this disaster, but I don't know how he did it......"
Arantir's answer caused an uproar among the mage heroes, how could they be satisfied with such an answer?
"Still quibbling! Lord Esquire, Lord Soram, I think he is the one who made it bad! A mage hero said indignantly, "Putting everything on the head of a demon who has not even seen him yet, and saying such things, is that underestimating us?" ”
Eschel and Gru were also dissatisfied with Arantir's statement, and Eschel said with a calm face: "Your Excellency Arantiel, this plague and riot have caused heavy losses to the Dandra Fortress, if we can't give a clear explanation, we can't make a difference, now we can only temporarily detain you and your undead troops, I hope you don't make any moves that cause greater misunderstandings......"
With that, Esquil signaled to his troops, ready to take Arantir.
But at this time, Alantir shook his head and said, "Please wait a minute! I have a proposal! ”
"What proposal?" Esquill asked as he temporarily halted the troops' movements.
"I know you can't trust me, a necromancer!" Arrantiel looked at the crowd: "But if we have a conflict between the two sides, we may really fall into the trap of the demon, so I think we can take a compromise solution: I take my undead troops, leave the fortress and go outside the fortress to set up, if the demon appears, then I will take the lead to meet the battle, and then all the doubts will be solved, what do you think?" ”
Esquil and the mage heroes looked at each other in surprise, and Arantir's proposal was a bit unexpected to them.
Gru suddenly spoke, "How do you convince us that you didn't take the opportunity to escape?" ”
"Swear in Asha's name!" Alantir said with a straight face: "If I, Alantir, take the opportunity to escape, then let me be devoured by thousands of undead and die!" ”
Alantir was also out of the way at this time, he also understood that continuing to stay in this fortress would only get bigger and bigger, it was better to simply pull the troops outside the fortress walls, the purpose of his trip was originally to destroy the demon, as long as the other party appeared, he didn't believe that Esquil and Gru would be indifferent.
Seeing Alantir swear a poisonous oath in the name of Asha, Eschel and Gru they can only choose to believe, in fact, they also wish that these undead would not linger in their sight, although the zombies in the fortress have been suppressed, but the source of the plague has not been solved, and then the entire fortress needs to be searched, if Alantir continues to be in the city, they will have to be distracted to guard against Alantir, since he plans to take the troops out of the city to station, then let him go......
Soon, everyone reached an agreement, and Alantir and his undead troops withdrew from the fortress under the supervision of the troops of both the Kingdom of Bradaka and the Elves.
Arantir did not break his promise, and after leaving the city, he camped on the periphery of the fortress as the first line of defense against the attack of demons.
But looking back at the chaotic scene in the fortress, Alantir sighed again, thinking that by uniting the Bradaka Kingdom and the Elven Clan, he might be able to kill the powerful demon here in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that the demons had not yet appeared, and the coalition army had such mutual suspicion, and they had lost a lot of troops, and now that Alantir had been squeezed out, no one could say what kind of tricks the demon had next......
They thought that as long as they could find the source of the plague, they might be able to clear the raging plague, but unfortunately, when they actually investigated the source, they were horrified to find that the fortress might not be saved!
Because the source of the plague turned out to be the source of water in the fortress!
All the wells in the entire Dendra Fortress actually come from the same underground water vein, which means that all the wells are almost connected at the deepest point!
Although the Demon Eye was only in a well last night, dropping Roy's demonic blood, when the demonic blood containing the T-virus was merged and diluted into the well, the infection quickly expanded, causing the entire underground water vein to be contaminated! All the wells in the fortress ended up being the same source of pollution.
In such a situation, it is almost impossible to get rid of the source......
The horror of the T virus is here, the super transmissibility is dangerous and difficult to control, in addition to the source, when the first infected person appears, the virus has already begun to multiply, if it weren't for the people of this world being stronger, creatures such as Titans and Green Dragons would not be eroded by the virus at all, maybe Roy is just a little demon blood thrown out, can cause a global extinction event like Resident Evil......
Now, although the people in Dendra Fortress have not all turned into zombies, the water source is unusable, which means that they have to abandon this place, and they must also seal off the space portal so that one of the plague infected people can accidentally teleport through the space gate to the Aglan Fortress, and then bring the plague there as well.
Once the space door is closed, it means that the fortress can no longer receive support from Agran...... It's like a roof leak in the rain......
