Volume 5: The Elegant Tea Party (Remastered) Chapter Twenty-Three: The Destruction of the Silver Pine Forest

Even from a distance of more than a dozen kilometers, Tibest could clearly see that the purple lightning above Shadowfang Castle ranged from tiny to coarse, from sparse to dense. Since the space where Shadowfang Castle is located has been very fragile for a long time due to the connection to the shadow plane, under the agitation of such power, every time lightning strikes the sky, it takes several seconds for the traces left in the space to disappear.

This time has also become longer and longer as the lightning has become more and more dense, and the stability of the space has reached the limit, and I don't know when it will be torn out of a huge spatial crack. Even if Tibest is not proficient in this knowledge, he knows that in this case, once the spatial rift appears, it will quickly expand into a spatial channel, and even make the shadow plane coincide with the main position for a period of time.

I have to say that the back hand prepared by Yu Bin completely hit Tibest's soft underbelly, although this paladin can continue to rush up regardless of it, and after killing Yu Bin, he will bring Arugao's body back, but in this way, it will not only slow down his speed of return, but also restrain his hands and feet. Tibest didn't believe that the undead in front of him hadn't taken this into account, and there was a good chance that some attackers would appear on his way back to camp.

So Tibest turned around decisively and left here without looking back.

Melganis watched Tibest leave with an embarrassed face, at this time he could really be said to be riding a tiger, this archmage of Dalaran couldn't make up his mind for a while, he didn't know whether he should stay and kill this damn undead with his own hands, or go to Shadowfang Castle like Tibest to help stabilize the spatial rift.

His indecisiveness made Yu Bin's arrogance even more arrogant. This made the players around them feel more and more incompetent, and for a while, the crowd was excited, and even some of them had been grumpy and rushed back up.

"Hmph, idiot!" Yu Bin snorted disdainfully, he is also a player himself, and he knows the psychology of these people well, all of them are megalomaniacs, thinking that he can lift the skirt of the goddess of luck by relying on his humble ability. "Speaking of which, Your Excellency Melganis, I have a gift for you too!"

Melganis's heart couldn't help but tremble, just now, Yu Bin did not hesitate to detonate the magic circle of Shadow Fang Castle, forcing Tibest to retreat, and now, he didn't know what this damn guy had prepared for himself.

At this moment, the corpse lying behind Yu Bin suddenly slowly got up from the ground!

This strange sight not only surprised Melganis, but also made the players stop in their tracks.

Arugao, who slowly stood up, had long since lost his previous appearance, his originally purple skin had become gray at this time, and there was no anger on his face, and most importantly, what appeared in the pair of eye sockets was not normal eyeballs, but dark blue soul fire!

It turned out that at the same time that Yu Bin drew his sword and stabbed Arugao to death, he stuffed three pieces of death essence into Arugao's heart along the wound, and the huge death force transformed the corpse into an undead creature in just a few minutes.

"You! You turned it into an undead? "The change of the werewolf Arugao made Melganis tremble, you know, this is a heroic werewolf, he can't think of any means to make this corpse become what it is now in just a few minutes!

"Are you still happy with this gift?" Yu Bin retreated with a smile and said, "Although you can't bring back the living Arugao, I think that an undead Arugao should be able to satisfy Dalaran, isn't it?" ”

Before Melganis could respond, the undead werewolf who had fully stood up let out a roar, and the soul fire in his eye socket began to beat violently, which meant that he had completely transformed into an undead!

What's worse is that the coercion emanating from this undead werewolf is even more powerful than Melganis, and can even compete with Tibbest, who left before.

Both Melganis and the surrounding players were shocked by the sudden change. Who would have thought that Yu Bin would be able to come up with such a terrible thing between his hands.

"I hope you have a great time, Lord Melganis! Very much looking forward to meeting next time! Taking advantage of the attention of the undead werewolf, Yu Bin quickly summoned the Demon Bone Dragon Horse and disappeared into the forest with Thunder Light and Keldilla.

But Yu Bin can go, but Melganis can't leave so easily. The werewolf had locked on to him after being completely undead, and the hatred of the living and a trace of Arugao's obsession made the undead werewolf rush towards Melganis without hesitation.

The battle between the two hero-level beings instantly turned this clearing into a Shura field, and some players who didn't have time to escape unfortunately became the trapped pond fish, and even those who escaped were apprehensive.

But it doesn't end there. When the players rushed back to camp, they found that things were 10,000 times worse than they had guessed.

Due to the lack of a strong enough mage, the remaining Tadelar had no way to prevent the appearance of the spatial rift in the first place, as the crack torn by the purple lightning became larger and larger, the sky above the Shadow Fang Castle quickly changed from a faint morning to a dim night, and the dark purple sky of the shadow plane replaced the original color of this space, and expanded outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The shadow power from the shadow plane was so vast and rich that it not only filled the entire Shadow Fang Castle in a matter of minutes, but also continued to gush outward along the top of the city wall like boiling water.

The most tragic thing is those players who stayed in the Shadow Fang Castle to clean up the remnants of the enemy, the low strength made it impossible for them to escape in time, as the visible shadow power poured down from the spatial cracks in the sky, directly washing their fragile flesh, these players' bodies were already crumbling at a rapid speed, first skin, then flesh, and finally bones, in the face of the corrosive shadow power, the flesh of these players could not even last a few seconds, it was corroded completely.

The pain caused by this is something these players will never forget, and it is said that more than eighty percent of them will never want to enter the world of Ntagre again. And even the remaining two percent of players, after entering the world of Entagre again, will find that because their characters have been corrupted by the massive power of shadows, there are only two choices left in front of them, either this character is completely abolished, or they have become a shadow-like creature from now on.

If the Werewolf Plague was the first disaster in the Silverpine Forest, then this time it was dubbed "Shadow Wash" due to Bin's own creation, and although Tibest immediately left the Silverpine Forest with the expeditionary force after returning to camp, more than 20,000 soldiers and nearly 50,000 players were still killed in the disaster.

In addition, with the continuous expansion of the spatial rift, all kinds of shadow creatures also began to enter the main plane of the Entagri world along the spatial rift, and when the spatial rift was finally closed by the archmage Khadgar who rushed to hear the news, the entire Silver Pine Forest was already full of all kinds of terrifying and dangerous shadow creatures, and there were even hero-level powerful existences.

As for Melganis, the unlucky bastard, he was once again beaten and fled. The entire three pieces of Death Essence are enough to give the undead werewolf a strength close to the legendary level, and it is already very good that Melganis can escape from its hands intact.

And the undead werewolf Arugao has thus become a powerful undead creature that roams the Silver Pine Forest. Dalaran made several attempts to capture him after that, but almost all of them failed for various reasons.

Yu Bin is not worried about what information those archmages of Dalaran get from the undead werewolf Arugao, being completely transformed by such a huge amount of death power in a short period of time, Arugao's soul has long been washed away, even if the god of death personally intervenes, I am afraid that there is no way to find the residual consciousness of Arugao, let alone those mages who specialize in arcane arts and plastic energy in Dalaran.

In just half a year, suffering two disasters in a row, the entire Silver Pine Forest has almost become a hell on earth, especially the shadow power from the shadow plane, which has made the thousands of square kilometers of the Silver Pine Forest centered on the Shadow Tooth Castle almost become another shadow plane, the air here is filled with shadow mist, and the forest infected by the shadow power is full of all kinds of dangerous shadow creatures, and almost half of the silver pine forest has become a dangerous area that makes people smell and change.

And the rest of the place is not safe, the undead werewolf Arugao has lost his self-consciousness and can only rely on instinct to act, so he subconsciously turned the corpses that died in the Silver Pine Forest into various undead. and continued expansion towards the Tirisfard Glades and the Hillsbrad Hills.

Tibest eventually left the Silver Pines Forest with the expeditionary force, choosing to retreat to the town of Nanhai. At Raphael's suggestion, Tibest turned the human town into a military fortress large enough to accommodate 100,000 soldiers. Although this caused the nobles who had long wanted to benefit from the Silver Pine Forest and the Hillsbrad Hills, the situation soon proved the right decision.

In order to prevent the Hillsbrad Hills from following in the footsteps of the Silver Pine Forest, the human kingdoms had to send some troops to Nanhai Town to engage in a tug-of-war with the shadow creatures and the undead. This tug-of-war lasted for nearly five years, and finally ended with the growth of players entering the Silver Pine Forest to complete the purification.

As a result, Nanhai Town became a major source of military merit for players in the Orderly faction to accumulate military merit in the next few years.

In addition, the Tirisfara Glade, which borders the Silverpine Forest, has also been affected, with nearly a fifth of the area invaded by shadow creatures and undead, and the Kingdom of Ashwood has had to garrison tens of thousands of troops on the border with the Tirisfara Glade to prevent those monsters from entering the kingdom from the border.

From the perspective of profit and loss, the expedition initiated by the Holy See of Light can almost be described as a complete failure, although the expeditionary force relieved the werewolf plague, but the Silver Pine Forest was completely destroyed because of it, and it could not be used by humans at all.

The only good news is that because of his own death, the Dark Pine tribe that summoned Haka's clone was completely wiped out by Tibest, who led the expeditionary force back, after losing almost all of the tribe's troll warriors, and Raphael personally led the team to clean up this troll tribe entrenched on the Broken Ridge.

But what no one knew was that Tusca, the Shadow Hunter of the Dark Pine Clan, had already left Shattered Ridge with a group of people who did not believe in Haka, and it was not until two years later that Yu Bin knew that this guy had taken refuge in the Dark Spear Clan led by the troll Woking.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the blood cave clan of Dunhold Castle, Yu Bin originally thought that this orc clan would come out to brush up on its presence when the expeditionary force captured the Shadow Fang Castle, but he didn't expect that until the end, this orc clan that worshiped the shadow did not appear, which made Yu Bin have to send the past to detonate the magic circle with the wind and force Tibest to leave.

It wasn't until Yu Bin took Alan and the others back to the Psychic Academy that he learned from the ghost lady Farina that the orc chief who was sitting in Orgrimmar keenly seized this opportunity, and with the help of the goblins of Ratchet City, with the elite troops of Orgrimmar and the Fireblade Clan, he raided Dunhold Castle in a goblin airship, and the Blood Cave Clan was completely defenseless, and could only choose to flee when caught off guard, but under the pursuit of the Fireblade Clan, less than 5,000 people followed the Bloodcave Clan Patriarch Kirrog Deadeye to escape smoothly, Missing.

The orc army that had successfully exterminated the Bloodcave Clan did not stay at Dunhold Castle, and after the Great Chief Thrall burned the fortress specially built by the Bloodcave Clan, he returned to Orgrimmar with his army in a goblin airship.

Therefore, although the expeditionary force's plan to attack the Silver Pine Forest ultimately failed, the Hillsbrad Hills still fell into the hands of humans in the end, and with most of the Tirisfal Woodland, the face of the Bright Sect was barely passable.

Tibest, of course, was punished for miscommand, and was transferred from Grand Knight of the Knights of Light to Garrison of the Holy City, while Tadrar was considered to have offset the merits and did not change.

The biggest beneficiary was Raphael, who had just been promoted to the rank of official priest after returning to the Holy City and was appointed as an assistant teacher due to her excellent ability, keen judgment of the situation, and strong appeal during the expedition.

Because of the role played in the expedition, the Angel Covenant also received strong support from the Holy See of Light, which not only agreed to let them use the Holy City as the core station, but also opened the right to use the churches and corresponding facilities of the Holy See in various parts of the human kingdom to the Angel Covenant and its affiliated unions. In this regard alone, the influence of the Angelic Covenant has expanded directly from one city to the entire human realm.
