Chapter 259: Meat Grinder

The stealth effect of the Eye of Kilrog is not very good, and it is easy to spot when encountering powerful enemies, but it is very useful in the face of a force like the Undead Scourge that focuses on numbers but lacks elites.

Of course, the most important and practical thing is that the Eye of Kilrog can continue to summon even if it is discovered, and it has no effect on itself.

This is naturally much better than Song Zheng sneaking around to investigate the situation.

But despite this, Song Zheng still didn't bring Agatha with him...... She was the leader of the warlocks, and if she stayed, the unruly warlocks would have no one to control.

In the end, it was only Catherine who followed Song Zheng, and after breaking away from the main army, the two men crossed the wilderness westward to the Sodoril River.

The turbulent waters of the river rushed southward, and boats could occasionally be seen running down the river, but now those boats were filled with undead spirits.

In the sprawling city of Stratholme, many necromancer workshops have been built, such as the current undead scourge of the backbone of the abomination, which is mainly produced by the slaughterhouse in Stratholm City, in addition to a large number of elite ghouls and gargoyles.

Once these powerful undead are created, they are transported to the south by ship to take part in the battle, which is much faster than rushing south from land.

The two soon followed the river north, but after estimating that they were close to Stratholme, Song Zheng and Catherine gave up riding the horse that easily exposed them, and began to cautiously approach the goal of the trip.

The wharf was soon in sight, once a thriving hub between Stratholme and Andorhal, and had even developed into a commercial town the size of Southsea Town, but it was also greatly affected by the fall of Stratholme overnight.

Some of them were transformed into undead, while others left the area in a panic and were stranded all the way to Andorhar, where they unfortunately did not escape the undead scourge in the end.

"You wait for me outside here, I'll sneak in and see what is going on on the docks." Song Zheng instructed Catherine.

"I'll go with you."

"No, you can't be willful here, I know your combat power is stronger than mine, but we are not here to kill people this time, but to investigate, you stay here and are ready to answer me at any time." Song Zheng said and handed her the knight's sword that she had stored for herself, so that it could be used for self-defense.

"Alright then, you have to be careful, my lord, next time I will learn the Eye of Kirrog as soon as possible so that I can help with the investigation." Catherine muttered under her breath.

"Okay, don't forget to teach me when you learn it." Song Zheng smiled and touched her head, deliberately rubbing her hair, and then turned on the stealth technique in her resentful eyes.

Before Song Zheng entered the dock, he found that it was very well defended, and there were large groups of skeletons wandering around the perimeter of the pier, almost forming a white wall composed of skeletons, and it took him a lot of time to find a gap to sneak into, but before he could go far, he happened to see the undead troops of the brigade coming from the east.

It was a new army that had been produced, mainly ghouls, but these new ghouls had been greatly improved, some important parts of their bodies were covered with iron armor, their claws were glowing with cold light, and in addition to hundreds of tall abominations, although they staggered, they still made the ground tremble.

If this force is sent to the south, as long as it is paired with some skeletons and ordinary ghouls, it will definitely be able to form a main force with tens of thousands of people.

However, what shocked Song Zheng the most was that when those abominations boarded the ships one after another, there were still undead troops entering the dock at the rear of the road...... A team of meat grinders that caught your eye this time!

These meat grinders were modeled after human catapults, and although they were rudimentary, they were not less powerful, and more importantly, they could be used to store and transport corpses in addition to throwing stones for siege, and even to throw corpses directly.

Although the thrown corpses have no direct lethality, they can be mixed with the plague, and if a city like Andorhar is put into a large number of corpses with the plague, I am afraid that it will not be long before a large number of civilians and soldiers are infected with the plague, and the destructive effect is even stronger than that of a direct siege.

"There are so many meat grinders, there are thousands of them...... These must have been specially made by the Undead Scourge to attack Andohar. Song Zheng was shocked and worried.

The production efficiency of the Undead Scourge far exceeded his expectations, and it was able to produce so many meat grinders in a short period of time.

Song Zheng couldn't imagine how much damage would be caused by thousands of catapults attacking together, even if the walls of Andohar were strong, they couldn't withstand the attack of so many meat grinders, if these meat grinders threw corpses with plague, then as long as they threw a few rounds, I am afraid that the whole of Andohar would be enveloped by the plague!

"It's troublesome, it's too late!" Song Zheng's heart was immediately entangled, he had originally come to investigate the situation, and then go to meet the warlocks in order to attack this dock again.

However, now he was surprised to find that so many meat grinders were being loaded and transported to the south, if these meat grinders were successfully transported to the city of Andorhar, then Andohal would definitely not be able to hold it, and even if he led the warlocks to destroy the dock, it would be useless.

It would be too late to immediately go to the warlocks to forcibly attack the dock in order to destroy the meat grinder here, especially since the warlocks should be thinking about the east at the moment according to the plan, and they will only get farther and farther away from this dock.

Song Zheng's heart suddenly flashed the idea of destroying these meat grinders by himself, but with his current strength, it was no problem to kill some skeletons and ghouls, but for those abominations, I am afraid that he could only barely deal with one or two, and the defenders in this dock town were tens of thousands, plus those abominations who had just arrived here, it was far from being something he could handle.

"Do you want to use that 'Cataclysm' skill, or use the scroll of 'Summoning Meteor'......" Song Zheng hesitated slightly.

The scroll that summons meteors is said to have such a powerful effect that even the caster needs to cooperate with the 'teleport' scroll to escape, not to mention the 'cataclysm' ability, which Deathwing nearly used to destroy Azeroth in the history of Warcraft.
