(104) Chaos of expansion

Abaddon believed that the previous defeat was just a momentary carelessness, although many meat grinders were blown up by the opponent's carts, but the remaining meat grinder troops could still bring very strong frontal pressure to the alliance, because neither the infantry array nor the cavalry charge could stop the meat grinder's attack, and if other troops protected the flank of the meat grinder troops, the offensive would be watertight.

So the next day, instead of taking the same risk as before, Abaddon waited until the cannon fodder of the undead forces was in full swing before launching the attack, but the first column of the coalition to meet the attack was neither infantry nor cavalry, but a siege machine that had never been seen before.

Abaddon knew that the crash was also a push-back gun, but the weapon that appeared in front of him was a push-behind gun mounted inside the crash.

This is the monster brainstormed by the commanders of the Alliance Legion, when they found that the advantages of firepower, protection and mobility of the undead scourge meat grinder were difficult to surpass, as the defenders of the campaign, they decisively gave up mobility, they put the heavy crash with excellent protection performance to resist the fire of the castle, and the protection and mobility are very poor, only the combination of firepower and range strong hand guns, the final product is this rough skin and thick firepower fierce self-propelled artillery rush car.

This kind of rush gives the alliance army an advantage in the long-range firepower competition with the undead scourge again, the corpses thrown by the meat grinder and the plague barrel are difficult to destroy the solid iron armor on the outside of the rusher, but the shells from the push gun are real lead bumps, and the main structure is still wooden, and the meat grinder will lose its combat ability as long as it is hit by a lead bullet, which is the advantage of gunpowder weapons.

"These human beings...... Where do these human beings get their resources! A bunch of pushers suddenly popped up before, and now it's a big group of crashing cars! ”

The Lord of Hell felt that the world was changing too quickly, and that it was a backward army with cavalry and infantry as the main force before, but within a few days, it had become a different virtue, as if the maddening computer suddenly noticed that a word of whosyourdaddy appeared on the other side.

The situation is actually not as bad as Abaddon thought, although the bombing of the meat grinder has no way to destroy the mechanical structure of the heavy ramming vehicle, but it can effectively kill the operators inside, the plague barrel has made the first group of operators incapacitated, although the alliance has the potion formula to deal with the natural plague and a strong logistics care system, but the recovery of the wounded takes time.

Bologna's abundant medical resources allow the city to produce a staggering number of professional doctors, but the biggest difference between doctors and missionaries in the functional building system is that they are slow to treat patients and medical supplies are tied up in logistics.

By the time the battle had progressed, the Alliance's army had suffered more than 7,000 casualties, and if it weren't for the fanatical belief in the Great Light and the abundant logistical supplies, it would have been defeated in the previous war of attrition against the undead.

"Haha! Helllord Abaddon ...... I think he should have changed his name to Abaddon, the Fool Lord! Obviously there are five times the strength of the other party, but he can't take down the human army of less than 20,000 people, and he is about to be made dumplings, he doesn't know! ”

In the council hall of the Cult of the Damned, a high-ranking lich brandished a piece of parchment and said angrily to the Great Elder of the Cult.

"I have just received a report from the spies that the Teutonic kingdoms of the northern forests and plains have begun to mobilize their armies, and that the Franks have bribed the Teutonic emperor to attack us with a large number of benefits, and the report says that there are at least 10,000 Teutonic warriors in reinforcements."

The Teutonic warriors, the correct name should be the Teutonic foot knights, the strongest infantry recognized in the whole of Europa, these warriors wearing heavy plate armor and robes that can cover the whole body and wearing large winged helmets, when they advance in formation, they are unstoppable like a landslide, and the fighting power is jaw-dropping, the Teutonic people have always regarded the special arms of their nation as a glorious existence, only the most heroic and warlike Teutons are qualified to wear the clothes of the Teutonic warriors, and ordinary Teutons will be pulled to the guillotine and executed if they wear it indiscriminately.

As a result, the number of Teutonic warriors was kept at around 15,000, they were a privileged class of the Teutonic nation, obeying only the orders of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights and the Teutonic Emperor, and they were more powerful on the battlefield than the Frankish knights.

"Did the emperor of the Teutonic have water in his head? Why didn't the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order stop him from giving this order? ”

The Great Elder had been in contact with the Teutonic warriors when he was a human, and he knew that they were a very terrible group of warriors, but it did not understand why the Teutons would enter the war at this time, and the chess pieces that infiltrated there should have paralyzed the judgment of the other party.

“…… Great Elder, I heard that the Dawn myth had a delegation with the Franks who met the Emperor of the Teutonic people, and they gave the Emperor and the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order 150,000 units of gold as gifts, and the Franks even ceded the land. ”

This is the arrangement made by the alliance army before sending troops, using a large amount of gold to involve the surrounding nations who are watching from the wall in this battle, and in order to protect itself, the Cursed God Cult will definitely launch its own shadows in those national forces in advance, and the destructive power of natural disasters and shadows cannot be deeply understood just by looking at the miserable appearance of others, and only by feeling the pain of the skin will be experienced.

For Theodoric, who has become an addiction to being a local tyrant, such an expenditure is very cost-effective, isn't it 150,000 gold?

"That alliance...... Why do those humans have so much gold? Give us this gold, we are willing to stop fighting! ”

"Because that alliance has the help of the F.S.M. Order, and Bologna also has a group of anti-infiltration professionals, we don't find much information, but there are rumors among the lords that gold is a gift from the gods to Bologna for heroic battles."

"What god? Those old teachings are ridiculous lies, there are no gods in this world, and if there is, it is us! ”

The Cult of the Damned, who believe in the great truth of death and the truth of destruction rather than some embodied god, are the greatest blasphemers.

"That...... Grand Elder...... It's a little strange to say, those lords ...... They say that these gifts come from the great light. ”

The other lich in charge of intelligence said with an uncertain expression, after all, it seemed too funny to them.

"The great light, you say? That little girl who can only cry and beg for mercy in our testing ground? Did you get water in your head? ”

"With that said, I think we should be able to test the results of the experiment. Subjects have been in contact with mortals for a long time. ”

"I think so too, and immediately call that stupid fat pig from **** Kuta here, and the test subject is in his jurisdiction."

The Grand Overseer of Kuta got up very early today, and the attendants around him who had been serving him judged from experience that the master should have had a bad dream last night, so he was also very careful to serve, and his subordinates would also hide from their master at this time.

"That damn girl...... Subject, how is she doing? Have you eaten? Are there any other abnormalities? ”

The fat overseer came to the room where Dong Dong was under house arrest and asked the two maids standing in front of the door with a displeased expression.

"Master, Miss Experimentalist suddenly had a fever in the early hours of the morning, and the doctor gave her medicine in time, and now she is still asleep."

Dong Dong, who was already very weak, would of course get sick after being frightened, if it wasn't for the two maids at the door who found out in time, the little guy might have slept like this directly, and then **** Kuta and his subordinates would be killed by the angry elder without leaving a chicken dog.

"You're doing a great job, that is...... This dead girl hasn't eaten yet? What the hell! Let me go in and see. ”

Kuta also felt that helping his boss with pets was a great opportunity to make a fool of himself, but now it seems to be a big problem at all.

Because this place uses the bonus equipment of the Undead Scourge, there are too many necromancers and Cult of the Damned Warriors (humans who use the equipment of the skeleton warriors), causing the little one to sleep peacefully before the tunnel, and she is talking in her sleep.

"This place...... There are a lot of bad guys...... Ice hunting, will you take me home? …… Why is everyone gone? …… Mom. ”

Due to the sudden high fever for a few hours has not completely subsided, the little guy's breathing sounded a little rapid, and his face was still sickly red, **** Kuta saw her like this, and immediately frowned, he waved his hand to signal the maid to come to his side.

The fat man whispered a few words in the maid's ear, and then the maid turned away with a somewhat strange face, and the chief overseer brought a stool and sat quietly on the edge of the bed, and after a while, the maid who left returned to the room with a bowl of rice porridge.

After Dong Dong woke up, she immediately felt that she had no strength in her body, as if she was pressed by something terrible, and she couldn't even turn over, but because of the dual effects of low blood sugar and cold and fever, her head was not very clear now.

Dong Dong dizzy felt someone put something to her mouth, and then asked her to eat this in a calm tone, after a long time of hungry Dong Dong, without thinking about it, she ate the thing in her mouth, after such feeding lasted for a dozen times, the little one's head finally sobered up, and she suddenly found that the person who fed her porridge spoonful by spoonful was the fat uncle yesterday.

Knock let out a short exclamation, trying to dodge to the side, but she didn't have the strength to move her body, so she had to hide under the covers.

Kuta's face was gloomy, he handed the porridge in his hand to the maid outside the door, and pointed to Dongdong, who was shivering under the quilt.

"After feeding her this bowl of porridge, if she wants more, she can only give another half bowl at most." With that, he left the room.

After feeling that the fat uncle with the power of the villain was gone, Dong Dong carefully poked his head out of the quilt, her little face was full of puzzled expressions, this bad guy fat uncle had no ill will towards himself, he didn't throw her in front of a group of monsters to be bullied, and he didn't use a knife to scratch her around, why did he leave in a hurry with sadness and weakness?

Kuta didn't know what Knock was suspicious about, he was now practicing magic in the backyard of his villa, repeatedly blessing the evil fanatic and crippled curse on a caged ghoul, making his control of magic more proficient.

Many humans who switch to the Cult of the Damned do not do so, they are immersed in the supernatural powers they have acquired, and they are so satisfied with their transcendence of mortal status quo that they tend to focus on how to enjoy their infinite lives.

Kuta is not that kind of existence, this man is a guy who is very eager to climb up, and Abaddon is the same kind of person in a sense, **** Kuta knows that in the Cult of the Cursed, in addition to the promotion of the boss, the ability to excel is also very important, those anthropologists who join the Cult of the Cursed God are obviously mortals who have not obtained it, but they can occupy a place in the council hall because the Cult needs the talents of these guys.

The fat man does not have the knowledge and talent of these scholars, and his education is of no value to natural disasters, because natural disasters do not have people who can collect taxes, let alone a diligent and well-organized tax collector who has the ability to manage the taxes of a large territory.

At this moment, a shadow appeared in front of him.

"Grand Overseer, the elders have told you to go to the council hall."

As soon as he heard the summons of his boss, **** Kuta hurriedly stopped his workout, and in a panic, he took a few cronies to the headquarters of the Cursed God Cult in a carriage, which was actually not too far away.

The fat man had only been to the seat of the supreme power of the Scourge of the Dead a few times, and when he entered the hall, he had kept his head bowed humbly, knowing that even the chief worker of the mining farm was just a small person here.

"**** Kuta...... How's that test subject in your precinct doing? ”

The Great Elder's majestic voice made **** Kuta tremble, and he replied cautiously.

"Great Elder...... I...... That little girl isn't in the quarry right now. ”

"No more quarries? What's going on? Answer me! Where is she?! ”

The Great Lich's anger turned into a cold blue light and instantly wrapped the fat man, this is a unique magic of the Great Elder who is a special lich, called the 'Dark Sacrifice', this kind of magic can plunder the vitality of any non-heroic undead scourge unit at any time, turning it into its own magic, it is a very cruel and terrible execution magic.

Regular lichs have a similar form of magic called the 'Dark Ritual', and the Death Knight has a similar ability.

Kuta's frightened face turned pale as he defended himself in a voice that bordered on wailing.

"The subject was very weak when she first came to the pit, and I just moved her to my villa for the time being, and she was still under my control! She's still under my control! ”

Kuta's words left several researchers pondering.

"Now that I think about it, the series of studies we conducted on the test subject could indeed easily lead to her death, and even a physically strong adult human may not be able to withstand our experiments, and this fat man is not lying."

After the Great Elder thought about it, he lifted the deadly magic on **** Kuta's body, and he said in an approving tone.

"This time it's the negligence of the researchers, **** Kuta... You're doing a good job, and you're much smarter than that rubbish Abaddon. ”

"Thank you...... Thank you, Great Elder, for the compliment, this is what I should do. ”

The overseer, who was apprehensive of the horror just now, fell to the ground, not even daring to lift his head.

"Now, **** Kuta...... I'm going to give you two days to get the subject back to a state where she can survive in the quarry, and then you're going to put her back in and watch her move. ”

"Yes...... Yes! Great Elder! I'll do it. ”

After Kuta dragged his fat body away, the reflective researcher lich just now suddenly asked.

"This guy moved important experimental materials without authorization, is it so easy to let him go? The Light of Greatness...... It's just a little girl, but you know how extraordinary she is. ”

"It doesn't matter, **** Kuta is one of the few cultists in the Divine Cult who can guarantee his loyalty, and his reasons for joining the Divine Cult are different from those villains who are greedy for life and afraid of death."

For this question, the Great Elder's tone was completely clear.

"I remember he betrayed the Merovingians, right? Can a betrayer really be trusted? ”

"You can trust it, because this guy who has a great desire for power is actually a dead man."

"But he's still alive ......"

"No, no, no, you have to learn to see something deeper, my friend."

The Great Elder's tone was a little smug.

"There are always some people who live as if they are dead, and **** Kuta is such a guy."

"And I just thought of an interesting experiment that we should probably do with this ...... Miss Great Light has established some communication, and if she can tell the secret of her power herself, it will save us a lot of effort. ”

The Cult of the Damned Cult's higher-ups in the council hall let out a heartfelt laugh, making the empty and gloomy hall even more terrifying for a moment.

"That's right. Shall we inform Abaddon about the Teutonic army? So that he can prepare in advance? ”

"No, give this idiot another batch of resources and soldiers, and then cut off all contact with the Abaddon Legion, and let him help us attract the attention of the entire continent, and the Cult will be dormant in the shadows for the time being."

"Abaddon and his Eye of Fear fortress are perfect for being destroyed as the headquarters of the Scourge of the Dead, aren't they? When the foolish humanity thinks that it has won the final victory, we will reappear with destruction and death! ”

They were smirking wildly, but everything in the chamber was revealed in a mirror somewhere.

"What a bunch of hopeless guys, so you can laugh to your heart's content. As you try to gain greater power, what you need most now is to see what terrible things are hidden in your shadows...... Hum. ”

Chadom had been watching, waiting, waiting for the best time to intervene.
