Chapter 33: The Appearance of the Undead Scourge

Gianna's chant of magic is finally over.

However, this time, there were no fireballs or ice arrows in his hands, only the staff in his hand glowed blue in the darkness, like a bright star.

"What kind of magic is this? Why didn't it work? Song Zheng was puzzled in his heart, and when he looked at Sal beside him, he also saw a deep doubt in the eyes of this orc.

However, he soon felt that the air around him seemed to get much colder, and then a strange sound sounded, as if something had fallen from the sky.

"It's the sound of hail!"

Song Zheng finally noticed the abnormality and hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw that a large number of hailstones had fallen in the dark night sky, raining down on the trees in front of them, making all kinds of sounds, and even faintly hearing the screams of someone after being hit by the hailstone.

The violent hail lasted for nearly a minute, and almost all the leaves of those trees were destroyed by the hail, and even some small branches were broken.

With his excellent night vision, Song Zheng could see some dark shadows quickly leaving the woods, apparently the Syndicate thieves who had been hiding in it, and who had to flee the area after being attacked by the hailstorm.

"This must be some kind of magic like a blizzard...... But the power is average. Song Zheng thought secretly, it seems that the power of frost-based magic is not as good as that of fire, and the momentum and power of the flame storm before are much stronger.

However, because the other party was forced to run out of the woods where they were hiding, many knights immediately had a target, especially after a mage released the illumination spell, the surrounding wilderness was immediately illuminated, and soon some knights rushed out on horseback.

The knight's charge had so much impact that even the ground trembled slightly, and this was only the charge of more than two hundred knights.

Song Zheng couldn't imagine what a spectacular scene it would be when tens of thousands of knights charged together.

Although the syndicate thieves were not bad, they were completely unable to withstand these knights, especially after leaving the cover of the woods, these thieves in leather armor and armed with short blades were completely slaughtered in front of the knights in heavy armor.

"The profession of thieves doesn't seem to be very strong in this world......" Looking at the tragic situation of those syndicate thieves in the distance, Song Zheng's brows couldn't help jumping.

After all, his own profession is a thief, but I don't know if there is a change of career in this world.

At the same time, there are some small regrets in his heart...... In such a battle, with his current strength, he was completely unable to participate in it, which caused him to have no experience at all.

Just as the knights were rushing around excitedly, on a rather hidden hill in the distance, a group of people were quietly looking at the battlefield in the distance. The first of them was Gu Xin and the tall man in black.

"I said earlier that if these syndicate thieves are used for sneak attacks, it is okay, once they collide head-on with the knights, there is only one way to die!" The tall man in black said with some anger after seeing a large number of syndicate thieves being slaughtered.

"It's just some robber thief, and when he dies, he dies." Gu Xin's face was still calm, and he couldn't see any change in the night.

"You...... It's a lot of money for us to hire so many syndicate thieves, and if there are too many casualties, old Aiden will be angry. The tall man in black grumbled.

"Hmph, what's so terrible about old Aiden's anger, what else can that guy do now except shrink in Broken Ridge, as long as the master succeeds, the whole world is ours, even the king of Lordaeron will be at our feet, why worry about old Aiden." Gu Xin said coldly.

"If it can be done, then everything will be fine, but if you lose what your master gave you, you may not be able to regain it now, then Gianna is a personal disciple of Antonidas, his magic ability is definitely not under you, and the knights around her are all elite, as long as they stay in place, it is impossible for us to defeat them in a short time, and once we wait until dawn, I am afraid that Tarenmir's reinforcements will come!" After hearing about his master, the man in black calmed down a little, but he was still a little displeased.

"Don't worry, although Gianna's magical talent is good, but it is certainly not as good as mine, you must know that I am not wasting my time in vain after staying on Keldaron Island for so long, keep your eyes open and look at it well, I will let you see my new power later...... A new power from the Master! Gusin said, but there was a look of excitement on his thin face.

"A new power from the master?" The tall man in black was slightly stunned and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything more after all.

However, on the battlefield in the distance, the battle was nearing the end, and although the syndicate thieves were desperately resisting, they did not have much meaning in the face of the charge of the heavily armed knights, and with the screams one after another, soon only a dozen syndicate thieves were still resisting.

"Maybe I should learn some knightly skills...... Maybe you can even become a paladin......" Song Zheng looked at the almost one-sided slaughter, and his heart was also deeply shocked.

He had saved Bridget before, and he could have gotten closer to her to infiltrate the Church of Light, but in his memory, it seemed that the acquisition of the power of the Holy Light did not require any talent and skill, as long as he had a pious faith, it was enough, for example, the Scarlet Crusaders in the history of Warcraft obtained the power of the Holy Light entirely by virtue of fanatical faith.

While Song Zheng was secretly thinking about how to infiltrate the Church of Light, a strange exclamation suddenly came from the battlefield.

It was the voice of the knights, but it seemed to carry great fear!

"What are these knights afraid of?" Song Zheng was extremely surprised in his heart, these knights who had long been accustomed to killing on the battlefield should have long been afraid of any battle.

However, after he took a closer look at the battlefield, he suddenly felt a creep...... On that battlefield, the syndicate thieves who had been killed before staggered to their feet again, many of them missing arms and legs, and some even had no heads!

The knights and mages who were still in charge of defense on the camp also discovered the anomalies on the battlefield, and they all let out surprised sounds.

"It's the undead!" Song Zheng looked at the corpses that had stood up again and frantically pounced on the knights, and immediately thought of a possibility in his heart...... The Scourge of the Dead is finally here!
