Chapter Twenty-Four: The Third Wave! Filthy land!

Late Sage Havoc.

The non-combat gods in the Pantheon suffered the most losses, especially the original hedonistic goddesses, and the final ending was not very good. Even Sauron remembered a goddess who was imprisoned by the Devil Grand Duke of Bato's Hell, and he didn't know how long it took to be manipulated and trained before being rescued. But that's a very late thing, and if you talk about it now, the gods haven't been turned upside down, and everyone is still relatively restrained.

Time always flies before you know it.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost May, and by this time some signs of a third wave of the Sage Catastrophe were already beginning to appear.

The city of Modor is located in an overseas archipelago, and the feeling of this is less obvious.

However, the traces of devils on the continent are becoming more and more frequent, especially the cannon fodder of low-level devils, which are becoming more and more common in the wilderness.

In the first two impacts, the devils were not the main force, but they also gained something.

Now these gains have been transformed into small devils who are cannon fodder, and they have begun to appear frequently in the wild areas, while attacking all kinds of non-devil creatures.

………………

Wind spear hills. River valleys.

Sauron appeared in this somewhat remote area, on the edge of the Wind Spear Hills, where the land was not very fertile, but there were thousands of inhabitants nearby. Behind him was the high priest with a serious face, and a handful of priests above the rank of bishop, and then the ugly monkey who had returned from his mission, this time because of the news he had brought back.

"My lord."

An archbishop-like priest bowed his head humbly towards Sauron, and then said in a deep voice, "The news has been sent back. It is true that there has been a problem with the grain in the south recently. ”

"Many civilians began to get sick after eating it, and all of this food was planted with vicious spells."

"If it is not dispelled by the priest's divine magic, those who eat food will become undead creatures, and those they attack will be infected with corpse poison."

The devils eventually got their hands dirty.

Compared to the reckless actions of the demons, the devil is obviously more proficient in calculation and intrigue. I don't know when it started, but a batch of problematic grain appeared in the southern region. At first, no one noticed it, but as more and more people got sick, people finally discovered the problem, and what was more serious was that these sick people eventually became undead, and those who were attacked by them were also infected with corpse poison. The southern region is the most populous place on the physical plane. Once this kind of problem arises, it will undoubtedly spread very quickly.

The Wind Spear Hills are also within the scope of the impact.

And in the valley area where Sauron is now coming in person, there is a village where everyone has been turned into zombies.

"There's something wrong with the land."

Sauron watched everything silently, then turned to the High Priest and said, "Send people scattered to find it!" The land here has been polluted! There must be a secret altar nearby! ”

"Anyone who eats what is grown on this land will be infected with a terrible disease!"

"Tell the people below not to eat anything here."

"Including water."

The manoeuvre in front of him felt familiar to Sauron, a bit like the devil's usual tactics, but also a bit like the handiwork of the undead lichs in the gray wilderness.

The devil is fond of changing the structure of polluted land.

Because many demons are immune to poison, and the most common thing they do in the process of attacking the bottomless abyss is to change the laws of the plane by taking a piece of land that they have occupied. Transform the law of chaos in the bottomless abyss into the law of order. In the frontline of the bloody war, many of the fortresses occupied by the devil were finally transformed, and the laws that belonged to that land became more adapted to the devil.

Before Sauron's eyes was a transformed land.

A filthy force has eroded the land, whether it is plants, soil, or rivers, it has been corrupted by this force, although it seems that there is not much change, but as long as the people who live here, if they eat what is here, they will slowly get sick. Eventually, it is likely to be infected with the Plague of the Undead and become undead.

"It's a lot like the devil in terms of technique."

"But there are some things that look like the means of the Bone Wilderness! Could it be that the undead kings have also begun to attack the material plane? ”

Sauron couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

According to the normal historical progress, the undead should attack the material plane at the time of the fifth wave of impact. At that time, many people had died in the material plane, many of them were entrenched in the lower planes, especially in the gray wilderness, the spirit world and the semi-plane area close to the underworld, and the lichs, undead kings, undead monarchs, etc., left over from history, they felt that this was a very important opportunity, and the large number of dead people in the material plane had given them the opportunity to exert their strength. That's why the fifth wave of the Sage Tribulation broke out.

That's what adventurers jokingly called at the time - [Undead Scourge]!

But.

At present, although many people have died in the material plane, the proportion is not very large.

Even if the undead kings of the undead cast spells to conjure spirits, it is unlikely that they will be able to gather a terrifying army of the undead from the graveyards and the wilderness.

Judging by the signs in front of you.

Sauron felt more like the devils had co-opted and colluded with a small number of the legendary lichs and undead monarchs, who used the power of the undead to weaken the physical plane and eventually harvest enough souls.

But. This kind of large-scale population killing is more like the tactics of the demons than the calculations of the devils.

Sauron was also a little confused for a moment.

It feels like history has undergone a serious deviation here, that is, the impact of the third wave has caused the characters of the three factions of devils, demons and undead to move, but each other's movements are not too big.

"The plague of the undead must be controlled."

"Otherwise, there will be a lot of deaths!"

"And at that time, the breath of death will become more and more intense, and at that time, even if no one casts spells in the cemetery of the material plane, many corpses that have already been buried will crawl out."

"At that time, the fifth wave of shock will probably come early!"

Historically.

The third wave is the Devil's Army, the fourth wave is the furious elemental life, and the fifth wave is the Undead Scourge.

The first shocks all led to the death of a large number of people, so by the time of the fifth wave, even the gods could no longer sit still. During that time, it can be said that the land was full of undead, and the people who died in the past climbed up one by one because of their resentment, and the entire physical plane was shrouded in the breath of death. Sauron didn't know if it was a good thing that the undead monarch showed signs of making a move in advance, but [Elemental Turmoil] had not yet broken out.

Since he can react quickly, presumably the Lord of Radiance, the Lady of the Silver Moon, the Goddess of Agriculture, etc., and the other gods should also react quickly, right?

Sauron thought for a long time.

In the end, he decided that no matter how it developed in the future, the immediate problem still had to be dealt with first, and he must first find the polluted altar and then find a way to purify this filthy land.

Either way, the undead are more of a headache than the devils and demons!
