A reconnaissance team took advantage of the darkness to reach the outside of the city of Avias, led by a rosacea dwarf named Fourtoe.

Compared with more than a year ago, now few players will laugh at this dwarf with messy red hair, a pair of panda eyes all year round, and a big rosacea, even the old members of the Angel's Covenant will respectfully call him Uncle Four-toed, only Bell sometimes jokes that he chose the wrong race, obviously a goblin guy, but he chose a dwarf!

"The best wine you can drink in Ironforge!" Every time the bell said this, the four toes would pick up the wine gourd hanging from his belt and pour a sip, and answer nonchalantly.

Although this dwarf is so unreliable in the eyes of those newcomers, as long as there is a big operation in the Angel's Covenant, Raphael will still be the first to name Four Toes and hand over the most important reconnaissance task to this drunken guy.

No one dares to complain because Four Toes is the best scout! Both in reality and in this world!

It's rare in the world to be a scout who survived the entire Korean War and the Vietnam War, and survived to the present day, not to mention that Four Toes only lost six toes in those two wars!

"Uncle Four-toed, further on is the outpost of Avia City!" A handsome elven boy crouched behind his four toes, carefully flipped through the map in his hand by the light cast by the moon, which was handed to him by President Raphael before the scout team set off, and was regarded as a treasure by this elven player.

"It's okay, it's not a full moon today, and when the clouds come, we can still touch two hundred meters ahead!" Four toes brushed aside the grass pole in front of him, the dwarf's size allowed him to hide in the grass without squatting, this may be a rare opportunity to take advantage of the dwarf's height, "How many of them are little ghosts?" ”

"Numi touched the north, and now it should be in that depression, Xiao Mengmeng and Big Eyed Boy are guarding the retreat, and the magpie is going to the east to take a look!"

There are a total of six people in the entire reconnaissance team, in addition to the dwarf hunter Fourtoe and the elven archer Vairle Hawkeye, there are also dwarf thief Numi and elf druid magpie, the former is responsible for laying and removing traps, the latter is responsible for detecting stealth and high-altitude reconnaissance, in addition, Xiaomengmeng and Big-Eyed are a pair of human brothers and sisters who are responsible for guarding the retreat, the elder brother Big-Eyed is a mage who is proficient in frozen spells, and the younger sister Xiaomengmeng is a bear child who is good at death, and her profession is a priest, Take charge of causing trouble and pulling her companions from the ground who were killed by her!

The whole team does not have a profession suitable for frontal combat, in the words of the four toes, if the scout can only draw the knife and face it, it means that the scout is not qualified!

"Wait for them for two minutes!" Four Toes looked up at the sky, the clouds he fancied still needed a little time to cover the moon, he hurried to sit on the ground and rest, this was a habit he had developed in the war, whenever he had the opportunity, he would always allow himself to conserve more strength.

A sound came from the grass beside him, and Vaire was about to ask who it was, but he was slapped back by four toes, and the old dwarf lightly raised his hand. The crossbow was aimed in the direction where the sound came.

"Don't shoot, Uncle Four-Toe, it's me!" The sound came from the grass, and a small leopard, which almost blended in with the night, jumped out and raised its two front paws humanely.

"Magpie, why don't you always remember the lesson!" Vaire wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, "Last time you were shot in the ass by Uncle Four-Toed with an arrow, forgot?" ”

"I'm too lazy to argue with you!" The little leopard waved his paw impatiently, "Uncle Four-toed, there's a drain over there, it seems to be the sewage outlet of Avias!" Numi had already reached for it. ”

Four toes immediately put away their hands. Crossbow, follow the magpie towards the drain, in any case, it is safer to go through the drain than to slip under the sentry point.

After more than an hour, the three of them finally came to the end of the drain, where Numi, the dwarf thief, was lying on a circular fence sealed with iron bars, trying to look out through the gap.

"What's the matter?"

"No, it's quiet outside! If I'm not mistaken, this is supposed to be close to the inner city, but not a single patrol has passed by so far! Numi shook his head, his sense of direction was the best in the group, and he didn't even need a map to know where he was going.

"It's so thick, you can't cut it with a saw blade!" Vairle touched the iron bar and said in frustration, "But with other things, the movement is too much!" ”

Just as the two elves were wrestling with how to open the fence, Fourtoes pulled Numi off the fence as if he had suddenly discovered something, pounced on himself, and took a few hard breaths with his red rosacea.

"Uncle Four-Toe?"

"Vair, blow up!" Four Toes said loudly, not caring if it would lure the enemy over.

"Huh?" The elven boy was stunned for a moment.

"Explode!" Four Toes said again.

A few minutes later, a dull loud bang rang out from near the inner city walls, and before the smoke cleared, the four-toed man jumped up with a short sword in his hand.

The loud bang seemed to wake up the entire city, and a low roar began to sound from all directions.

The second one to come up was Vair, and before the elven boy could draw his bow, he realized why Uncle Four-Toed would blow up this fence even if he was discovered.

The air smells of corpses! It's the breath of the dead!

"We've been walking in the drain for too long, and we're used to the ever-increasing smell of corpses, and we thought it was the smell of sewage from the drain!" The magpie jumped up and said, she also immediately noticed this abnormal smell, elves are very sensitive to this kind of thing!

"It's too strong!" Fourtoe said worriedly, "Numi, place all your traps nearby, and you can use them when you escape!" ”

"No problem! Give me three minutes! ”

As soon as the words ended, a stumbling figure stepped out of the darkness in front of the street, and a pair of eyes glowing with dark blue soul fire unmistakably explained the race of the other party.

Undead!

It was as if it were a signal, and more and more blue dots of light appeared from the darkness, and it was the undead who were hobbling forward, skeletons, zombies, and even bone beasts that had been resurrected from dead animals.

A sword split a skeletal dog in half, four-toed brows furrowed, and slowly retreated, because there were so many of these undead that the whole street was about to be filled with these guys.

"Run!"

Faced with this situation, the experienced veteran did not hesitate to shout that he had to take advantage of the absence of powerful undead to escape the city with the other three.

Such a number of undead marched on the streets of Avia City, which undoubtedly meant that the entire city had fallen into a sea of undead, considering that the entire Avia City had a population of nearly 400,000, even if the probability of giving birth to high-level undead was low, similar to banshees or corpse witches, there must be hundreds of things like black knights that cost human lives, and he didn't think that his four people could fight against corpse witches who were at least fifth-order.

Luckily, the drains aren't suitable for the low-IQ undead action, which allows them to easily shake off the rancid ones, and of course, the traps Numi left behind are also a big factor.

As he came out of the outlet, Vaire took a deep breath as if he had been reborn, the stench of corpses that permeated the entire city almost made him almost collapse, and the elves' perception was very keen, which also meant that these long-eared people had a good sense of taste and smell, and in this case, it became a disservice to themselves.

"It's an escape!" The magpie that came out immediately stretched out, but he didn't expect the bad luck to come so quickly.

A bone arrow silently emerged from the darkness and pierced into the elf girl's chest!

"Bone archers!" Vaire immediately crouched down, and out of the corner of his eye, he swept to a skeleton archer who was only half a man tall, "Are you alright?" ”

"Hurt your lungs!" The last four toes that came out briefly checked the elf girl's injuries, and carried her on her back, "Hurry up, this is not a safe place, the enemy didn't shoot Vail first, it is obvious that there are high-level undead in command!" ”

"How did you find ours?" Numi said in frustration, thinking that as long as he left Avias, the undead would not be able to chase them.

Four-toed face with loss and sadness: "Because there are no living people in the whole city!" Our breath of life is like the moon in the sky, once it is exposed, don't think about covering it up anymore! ”

After running for a few minutes, the four toes felt that his steps were obviously heavy, and the temperature around him seemed to have decreased a little, he subconsciously looked up, and his face changed in an instant.

"Damn! It's a high-level ghost! "The druid was shot and wounded, causing the entire team to lose their eyes in the air, otherwise Four Toes would have been able to spot these transparent humanoids floating in the air in advance, but now, the heavy steps meant that they were covered in an aura of fatigue, which is a unique ability of high-level ghosts.

As a spirit type of undead, the ghost cannot fix the death power in the body because it has no physical body, and the death power that escapes to the surroundings at all times will invade any life form that is lower than the ghost's strength, causing a loss of physical strength. And being able to affect the four-toed ones means that this is at least a fifth-order ghost, and for ghosts who are generally only two-order, the fifth-order is indeed considered a high-level ghost.

The only thing to be thankful for is that these high-level ghosts don't have much physical attack ability, and their spells are difficult to hit the Scout team in this situation, which allows the Four Toes to barely keep escaping.

"Damn, gotta figure figure get rid of that thing up there! Otherwise, sooner or later we will die here from exhaustion! Numi threw away the temporarily useless items in his backpack to lighten his load, and said hatefully, as a thief, he didn't have any ranged skills, and his bow and crossbow skills were not high, so he couldn't do anything about the ghost flying in the air.

The only one who has the ability is Vair, but unfortunately, this elven archer focuses on physical attack ability, and for spirit spirits, Vair's threat is simply negligible.

And the magpie, who is usually responsible for dealing with this situation, is now lying on the back of the four toes and gasping for breath, and the lungs are shot through so that she can't breathe heavily, which will cause the wound to expand, and the difference between the internal and external air pressure alone is enough to suffocate her to death.

Just as Fourtoe was about to stop and take care of the ghost in the sky first, a milky white beam of light shot from not far away made Fourtoe dispel this thought. The ghost hit by the beam let out a wail and fell straight down, apparently battered.

There is only one person who can achieve this effect, and that is Xiaomengmeng, who is a priest!

But the four toes didn't feel happy at all! Now he can't wait to hit the little girl's head a few times with the short sword in his hand, what kind of bear child can do such a thing!

Damn, that beam is literally pointing the way to the undead! Could it be that the bear child thinks that the breath of life of these people is not strong enough, so he has to add a little bright condiment?

"Brother, look, I'll just say it has an effect!" A voice not far away made Four Toes identify the culprit of all this!

"Uncle Four-toed, how's the situation in the city?"

Vaire said with a bitter face: "Brother, my brothers have been miserable by your brothers and sisters!" ”

A few hours later, in the military camp in the province of Rema, Raphael handed the latest information to the Duke of Miseta and Prince Andrei.

"Is this true?" After reading the information, Duke Missada's face turned pale, and Prince Andrei held his head in his hands and bent down in pain.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Excellency the Duke, I also hope that this is a mistake, but I am afraid that the truth is even worse than what is written here."

"Worse? What else is going on? Missada's voice trembled slightly, and Marshal Windsor, who was sitting beside him, closed his eyes, as if he could not bear to hear the painful news.

Raphael waved his hand and motioned for Linglong to hand them the other pieces of information: "My people have encountered a large number of undead troops in the three provinces of Sawya, Rasiri, and Augias, and roughly estimates that there are at least a million in number. If my guess is correct, I'm afraid all three provinces have fallen and become a paradise for the undead. ”

"No, it can't be! Regardless of the provinces of Sawyer and Lasili, Ogias is the home of the Empire's elite legion, the Hussar Legion, and they can't be defeated by those rebels! Duke Miseta said loudly, unable to accept Raphael's conclusions.

Raphael sighed: "If it's just a rebel, I also believe that the Hussar Legion of Augias will not fail, it is one of the most elite cavalry legions in the Arnas Empire, but they are not facing rebels, but countless undead!" What can now be confirmed is that the entire province of Aughias is full of undead! What does this mean? This means that more than five million civilians have become undead! Even if they were the most rubbish skeletons, they could crush the hussar legion of only 20,000 men to death by just pressing! ”
