Chapter 266: Esquire's Decision
That night, the Dandra Fortress was sleepless again.
The appearance of the mutant has made everyone have the possibility of being attacked, which makes people have to be vigilant about their situation, but they have not been able to rest and sleep for two days and two nights in a row, and even the heroes are a little unable to stay up.
But the attack of the mutant has not stopped because of the arrival of daylight, and it is completely different from the ordinary undead, the zombies of the T-virus mutation are not afraid of the sun at all, which leads to the troops in the fortress even if it is dawn to put out fires everywhere and destroy the living dead who have regained their feet.
The entire Fortress of Dendra was demoralized at this time, and as the number of mutants became more and more numerous, the smaller patrols could no longer cope with it, and in this case, the troops of the Kingdom of Bradaka had to shrink their defenses and give up some of the outer parts of the fortress.
These outlying neighborhoods have become outright dead cities, and the remnants of the zombies are wreaking havoc in these areas......
Fortunately, at noon, the light of the spatial teleportation array lit up again, and the support of the Agran Fortress finally arrived!
The leader of the team was the archbishop Elaric who originally stayed in the fortress of Agla, because the messenger sent to ask the priests to come to help, so Elaric could only make a trip, but because he learned that there were necromancers like Alantir in the fortress of Dandra, Elaric seemed very reluctant, he came on the orders of the fake Queen Isabel, one was to destroy the demons, and the other was to see what was going on with the fallen angels who were with the demons, out of fanatical thoughts, He believed that the Bradaka's choice of necromancers to cooperate was a blasphemy against his faith.
Therefore, despite the Courier's repeated urgings, he still delayed his arrival until now in the name of gathering troops.
Among the troops brought by Elarik, in addition to a corps of priests and priests with a number of more than five hundred, there was also a troop of angels with a number of twenty, so when Esquil and they came to greet him, although they were dissatisfied with Elarik's delay, for the sake of this troop, they still suppressed the anger in their hearts and greeted Elarik with a smile.
After all, the priests of the Kingdom of Erathia are all practicing light magic, and they have a unique way of dealing with all kinds of dark curses and plague diseases.
Although surprised by the tragic situation of the Dandra Fortress at the moment, Archbishop Eraric quickly realized his importance, and now whether it is a Bradaka or an elf, they need to rely on them, which makes Elarik can't help but become arrogant, and in the conversation, he keeps taunting the Bradakans, even the elven rangers brought by Gru, and he also did not let go.
Esquire and the others had long heard of this thing's stinky temper, and they were very annoying when they were in the Kingdom of Erathia, and now that they have seen it with their own eyes, they can't wait to sew this guy's mouth shut!
But they could only endure it......
"That's it!" After finally being satisfied verbally and spiritually, Eraric waved his hand and said, "Bring the infected you caught first, I'm very busy, I'll have to go to the devil's trouble after I get it done!" ”
Esquill and the others were expressionless, they didn't bother to speak, and nodded and asked people to bring the captured zombies.
A row of prisoner carts slowly drove into the square, and in the cage, there were more than a dozen zombies who were imprisoned, this is the living infected people who were finally caught, most of them are goblins and mage apprentices, and there are also some Naga snake demons and archmage infected, when the prisoner cart drove into the square, these zombies smelled the breath of the living people, desperately got between the gaps in the cage, and desperately bit everyone with their mouths dripping with saliva in the air, but they couldn't squeeze it out, so they looked more and more manic.
Not to mention Esquire, even Eraric was taken aback by the appearance of these zombies, at first glance, he thought it was some ghouls, but then he found that it was different.
"Didn't you say that there was a mutation?" Eraric asked suspiciously, "No specimens of mutants?" ”
"No, we didn't catch it alive!" Esquill shook his head and said: "The terrain in the fortress is too complicated, and the jumping ability of those mutants has a great advantage in this terrain, so we will set traps and they will see through them...... But don't worry, this is only temporary, after figuring out their movements, you will be able to catch them soon, for now you have to see if you can get these ordinary ones first. ”
Eraric didn't talk nonsense anymore, and gestured to his priest troops, so a platoon of priests walked up to the front and came to the vicinity of the prisoner carts.
The priests began to wave the cross necklace in their hands and chant prayers, and soon, several rays of light fell from the sky and spilled on the zombies in the prisoner car, and the scene looked magnificent.
"Now I'm using the Purification Divine Technique!" Eraric explained with some smugness, "If these guys were cursed by sorcery like this, they would have been expelled immediately." ”
Esquire couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking that this guy Elarik was doing useless work at all, they had basically determined that this was a plague, and it turned out that this guy was still using the magic to dispel the curse...... But it's not in the way, anyway, these priests have a lot of magic, so it's good to let them try them one by one to see if there is any way to get rid of it.
After the purification technique was used, nothing happened, and the zombies in the cage still clenched their teeth and were not affected at all.
Eraric frowned, looked at Esquire's smiling expression, and said with some annoyance: "Directly use the disease to get rid of it!" ”
So the priests obeyed the command and poured the light down again.
However, the result of the incident shocked everyone again, and the magic of disease removal still has no effect on the zombies!
When Eraric saw this scene, he immediately felt bad, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and roared, "How can this be!?" Boost the magic and try again! ”
However, the result did not change in the slightest because of his yelling, and Elarik couldn't hold his face, so he simply took matters into his own hands!
I have to say that as an archbishop, Eraric's magic power is indeed much more powerful than those ordinary priests and priests, and the same disease removal magic is used in his hands, and the effect is different, and anyone can feel the surging power in the strong holy light.
However, what he didn't expect was that the zombie shrouded in his magic suddenly let out a scream of exhaustion, and the flesh and blood on his body collapsed and collapsed, scattered from his body, even the bones, and finally turned into a disgusting pile of rotten meat in the light of magic!
"This ...... What's going on!? Eraric stared at the results of his own work in amazement, and he could feel that the magic of removing the disease had taken effect on the zombie, but the healing effect he had hoped for did not happen, and instead led to the zombie's complete death.
Unbeknownst to Eraric, this is actually a complete collapse of the zombie's genes!
In fact, the magic of "disease elimination" is mainly aimed at some diseases caused by external pathogenic factors, and excludes the invading pathogenic factors from the human body, so as to obtain the effect of healing, such a magic technique is indeed very useful for many normal diseases.
It is said that zombies are also a disease caused by the invasion and infection of the T virus, but the problem is that the T virus is completely different from other viruses, it will combine with the genes in the organism, causing mutations and recombinations to the genes, when the organisms can not adapt to this sudden change, they will often become terrifying monsters, which is the cause of zombies, and because the virus has actually been completely combined with the genetic factors of the organism, so when the disease is eliminated and wants to expel the invading virus, It will inevitably cause the zombie's genes to collapse completely!
This belongs to the scientific side of the research, the magic on the mysterious side may not be able to act in depth and detail into the microcosm, Eraric's magic is powerful, but he does not understand the true cause of this disease, and it will cause such a result under brute force.
Therefore, the priests' magic may not be very useful in how to heal the infected, and perhaps they will go to the prophets of the Blind Brotherhood and use the herbs that the prophets have concocted......
As a result, even Esquill and the others were shocked, their original intention was to use the priests' magic to heal these former colleagues, but if this magic could only kill these infected people in the end, then what should the priests do!? It's not as good as doing it themselves.
All the heroes were gloomy and silent at the moment, and Elarik could sense this even if he didn't have to look back, he thought about it and gritted his teeth, and simply gave up his position, wanting the angels to try!
However, an angel in the angel army wearing a hood and a white battle robe floating in the air slowly shook his head in the face of Eraric's eyes, and said, "The souls of these monsters have long since passed away, and we can't even resurrect them, let alone save them......"
"Damn! Damn it! Why is this happening!? Eraric couldn't help but lose his temper and said, "Isn't the Light omnipotent!?" Why would there be nothing to be done about this plague disease!? ”
Seeing Eraric's gaffe, Esquill and Gru sneered and didn't speak, but the angel seemed to sense something, and suddenly raised his wings and soared into the sky, stabbing the angel sword in his hand into the air!
Yikes! With a slight sound, an object stabbed into the angel's sword, slowly manifesting itself in the air.
That's a ...... Devil's Eye!
The demon eye created by Roy, although it is from the system, but because he often uses it, it inevitably carries a slight demonic aura, and they can't sense this subtle demonic aura, but for the demon's natural enemies, the angel family, even if it is a subtle demonic aura, they are very sensitive, so this demonic eye in a state of stealth was discovered by the angel......
The angel landed slowly, and looking at the thing on his sword that clearly looked like a demonic creation, Eschel's face suddenly became solemn.
"It seems that Alantir is not wrong, all this is indeed a demonic conspiracy, and even he is secretly observing us, taking a full view of the situation in the fortress......"
"So what now?" Soram asked.
Esquill pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Let's give up the fortress!" That demon did not show up, it was nothing more than a fear of our fortress, and now only by giving up the fortress and letting him see hope will he come out to fight us...... Perhaps only by destroying him will we be able to stop this plague! ”
