Chapter 20: The Devil's Conspiracy
"Brother, wake up......"
The slightest movement in the dark night could also attract the attention of the human uncle, and the sound of iron grinding against the dirt was as subtle as fine sand flowing through an hourglass, which he keenly captured. Ares sometimes genuinely felt that this guy should be a hunter, not a warrior.
"What's that?"
Ares got up and lay down in the grass with Drum, listening quietly to the strange sounds and movements.
"I don't know, but it's never a good sign."
Drumm said in a suppressed voice. The sword in his hand was clenched tighter and tighter, and Ares knew that his companion was afraid that he had heard some terrible noise.
"Need I to confirm?"
"If you can do it."
As soon as Dram finished speaking, Ares leaned over, pulled the wood out of the fire, and threw it. The sparks splashed in the air, then landed in the grass not far away, and in the firelight, Ares and Drumm clearly saw an eerie white skeleton!
"The undead! It's the undead! ”
Undoubtedly, the Scourge Army! Without even thinking about it, Drumm shouted.
Everyone was awakened by this shout.
And the surrounding woods suddenly resounded with the roar and roar of the undead.
In an instant, Ares could see countless pairs of blue ghostly eyes flashing in the dark forest around him. It was a myriad of skeleton soldiers closing in here.
The first awakened Scarlet Crusader had no time to draw his weapon before his throat was slashed by a sword from a roaring undead. Blood spurted out of the blood-colored soldier's shattered throat.
The brutal picture is so real. Before he had time to think about it, Ares picked up the war hammer on the ground and used all his strength to slash at the skeleton warriors who rushed towards him. The charging skeleton warrior was struck by Ares' warhammer and fell on its back, its skull shattered, but the blue ghostly fire eye was not dead, and the entire skull shattered like glass when it was stepped on by Drum. At this time, the burning ghost eye gradually went out.
"Just like that, kill them."
Drumm turned around and said with a calm expression.
Soon, the camp was in shambles. The cooking utensils used for cooking during the day were kicked over, and it was a mess.
A ghoul lunges at Ares, only to be intercepted by Ares' shield. But it still lies on Ares' shield, trying to bite the bearer. After being slammed to the ground by Ares, almost all of the ghoul's internal organs were squeezed out, and a cloud of black liquid could be seen squirting out of the monster's mouth. That's ghoul blood.
A wave of nausea came, and before the monster could get up, Ares picked up his hammer and smashed its head with a single blow.
Suddenly, the disgusting head turned into a pile of rotten flesh lying on the ground, pus, blood, and brains running all over the ground.
"Brother, we have been raided, the Scourge army has surrounded us, and it seems that our previous plan is about to be nullified."
All around was the sound of bloody soldiers fighting with the army of the undead. After killing the ghoul, Ares turned to Drum.
Uncle Drumm immediately understood what Ares meant. In the original plan, Ares planned to take the opportunity to hold the Crusader commander Grayman attack the Valley of the Hearth, let go of some of the crusaders who were willing to go with him, and go to the Silver Dawn, but now it seems that this plan cannot be implemented, because the undead have surrounded the crusaders, relying on the strength of Ares and Drum, they will definitely not be able to break through, and they must share the same hatred with these crusaders in order to have a chance to rush out and live.
"I understand."
As he spoke, Drumm swung his sword again, severing the arm of an undead warrior, and the blue blood suddenly dripped from the undead warrior's severed arm.
Not far away, Scarlet Commander Grayman turned on his horse, but was quickly pulled off his horse by the hands of countless pairs of zombies. The fanatical paladin then summoned the light, and in the darkness, a light-filled warhammer flew in all directions, and the undead who were close to him fell one by one, and a large skeleton rushed towards it, and was smashed to pieces by his warhammer. Shattered bones scattered and splattered.
"Move closer to me!"
There was a crowd of people around them, and in the midst of the scuffle, Grayman shouted, and one by one, the crusaders who were fighting the undead retreated, closing in on their commander.
However, there are also more and more undead.
They are like a swarm of worms pouring out of their nests. The blood-colored battle banner kept falling, the necromancer began to chant incantations, a strange and terrifying sound echoed in the night sky, and the crusaders who had just fallen gradually regained consciousness, but this time, their eyes were no longer clear and bright, but flashed blue ghostly fire, and one by one the dead blood-colored crusaders got up again, this time, they no longer aimed their swords at the undead, but at the living crusaders.
With a roar of rage from the necromancer, the endless undead warriors squeezed towards the Scarlet Crusader again, charging and killing them.
……
The Scarlet Expeditionary Force fought bloodily on the outskirts of Hand of Hand of Tyr, thousands of miles away, the High Lord Dathohan stood on the belvedere, revealing his demonic green eyes. Gaze at the endless night sky.
"Are you really going to do that? Turn them all into minions of the Lich King. ”
General Abidis came from the hall and asked in a deep voice.
"Why not? That paladin and that warrior, ruined my plans, and I'm going to make them pay. ”
Dasohan's voice was low and hoarse, not at all the same as the original strong paladin's voice, but now that Abidis was alone, Banazar didn't have to hide its demonic voice, which was released through Dasohan's fleshy body.
"But maybe now isn't the time to send more warriors to the Lich King."
Abidis pressed against the railing, turned his head to Dasohan, and questioned.
"What are you worried about? Worried that the Lich King won't listen to us? ”
"Don't you have that worry? The greater the Lich King's power, the weaker our control over him, and the Scarlet Crusaders will die one day, but not now. ”
General Abydis said. Its voice was deep and full, not at all what a woman should have, but like Da Sohan, at this moment, on the rooftop, there were only the two of them, so there was no need to disguise the fact that they were possessed by demons.
With that, Abidis turned his gaze into the distance, and a blue lightning bolt was cutting through the silent night sky and throwing it into the barren land, and a rainstorm was coming......
