Opening the map in his hand, Belmont, who was studying the terrain here with Top, suddenly frowned, and set his eyes on a corner of the tent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What's wrong?" Top, who was on the side, asked strangely when he saw Belmont looking at an empty place.

"Come out! Stalker! Belmont looked around the corner and said, "Your stealth is good, but it's not enough in front of me......"

"As Barsus said, worthy of the ......Knight of the Black Blade," a deep voice rang out, and then, in what had been empty, suddenly twisted. A man in black appeared there, stooping towards Belmont. "Shadow Agent Ikrax, report to you, Captain......"

Top: "...... This ......."

Belmont said, "I hope you've brought back some good news, Shadow Agent. Glancing at the shadow agent emerging from the stealth, Belmont looked back at the map in his hand.

"The terrain around here is all open plains, and if I had a cavalry in my hand, I would love it. But let me take a group of 'infantry' to face a group of undead in this plain terrain......"

"I'm confident...... But I didn't have the confidence to hold everyone......"

"However, what I bring back is definitely not going to be good news." Shadow Agent Ikris said, "Actually, all I brought back is bad news, all the activities on the farm are undead......"

"Not a single living person?"

"No, at least neither I, nor Canalius, nor Gatlet, have been able to find half a living life in a wasteland." "Oh, at least the cultists of the Cult of the Cursed God are still there. ”

"Be detailed, Shadow Agent." "I need to know the details there...... Topp told me that in addition to the farms due west, there were granaries for grain storage in the southwest, and Warsong slaughterhouses for meat in the north. And the undead who roam the farms, and the movements of the Cursed Cultists......"

"All destroyed...... Ikris replied, "all the buildings were destroyed, all lives were killed...... And the corpses have all become cataclysmic undead, and they are not ordinary cataclysmic undead, they are all troublesome monsters. ”

"Oh? What kind of undead are there? Belmont asked curiously, "Abomination, or flesh giant?" ”

"Neither...... The undead who wander there are all aberrants, undead behemoths. "There, the wandering undead, with the exception of a few converted from domestic pigs, are all hot-handed undead beasts. ”

Distortions? Undead Behemoths?

Hearing this, Belmont felt a little uneasy. He had been in the fortress of Acherus, and he had learned about this special kind of undead. In fact, like the Jumping Ghosts, this undead is a new technique born out of the necromancers of the Scourge Legion. Don't look at the undead Behemoths, which are distorted bodies that are inferior to the more massive undead such as Abomination or Flesh Behemoths in terms of individual combat power. However, those large-scale undead usually have to be made by psychics themselves from the construction room, and in terms of scale, they cannot be mass-produced.

However, the aberrations and jumping ghosts born out of the ghoul transformation technology can be made locally as long as there are corpses. Of course, in comparison, the Jumping Ghost is easier to create, but in terms of individual combat effectiveness, it is still an aberration that is even better.

"How many?" Belmont asked, "I mean, the number of aberrations, and the number of psychics of the Cult of the Damned?" ”

"There are probably more than 20 psychics, and as for the psychic lords mentioned by Luthel, they are all high-level mages, and there are not as many as he said, so my companions and I don't dare to get too close...... In the end, only 5 people were found. Ikris replied, "But...... Distortion words...... The aberrations that roam the farms are the ones that have been sourced from this place, and have been produced by the Scourge from this place. ”

Even if it was a forsaken person, but thinking of this, Ikris still shuddered, and said, "These aberrations, these monsters used to be orcs...... Minotaur ......."

"No!"

Top, who was on the sidelines, shouted when he heard what Ikris was saying. Excitedly, he stepped forward and grabbed Ikris by the collar and said loudly, "No...... No, no, what you say isn't true..... You, you mean, those.... Those..... That ......"

Ikris broke Top's hand and sighed, "I know the reality is painful, but in the name of the Banshee King, what I say is what I see." ”

"No......" Topp took a step back, thinking that the orc, who was known for his bravery, wept like a frail old man at this moment.

Looking at the orcs in pain, Belmont sighed to himself. No one would want to see the bodies of former relatives and friends desecrated or even turned into enemies. But this is the reality, Azeroth, a world that seems to be full of heroic epics, is actually made up of countless blood and tears, and the deeds of heroes are all based on death and bones.

One will make all the bones dry, and this phrase is appropriate here in Azeroth.

"It seems that the situation is far more serious than the diary of your fallen companion suggests." Belmont said to Ikris "The Scourge has taken control of the land, and thankfully, the Cultists of the Damned haven't completely polluted the land with the Plague Cauldron. But the plague they unleashed has infected all the creatures that have not been able to escape the land in time. ”

Ikris nodded in agreement and said, "It's going to get worse and worse, if you can imagine it......"

"It stands to reason that I should have waited for more reinforcements from the fort in this case, but ......," Belmont said, shaking his head, "but it's been a little over a week since the farm fell. How did the Cursed Cultists create so many aberrations in such a short period of time, and there is no construction room to facilitate it. ”

Ikris suddenly asked, "It is said that this monster needs a living person to transform?" ”

"Well, almost." Belmont nodded and said, "Before, I ...... I also went to find out. The more frightened and desperate the living infected are, the smoother the transformation process will be, and the greater the success rate. But generally speaking, even if the target to be transformed meets the conditions, it will take two or three days to ......"

Ikrax: "Is it okay with a dead body?" ”

"It's not impossible, but if you directly use the corpse to transform, the time will be doubled...... This is also what I don't understand. Belmont said, hugging his shoulders, "And this is also wrong, how can some psychics plus a few psychic lords turn hundreds of soldiers stationed there, and twice as many farmers and laborers into aberrations in just one week?" ”

"By the way, what about your other companions?" Belmont asked suddenly.

"Canarius remains in the ruined Warsong Slaughterhouse, where there are not many aberrations." Ikris replied, "He said that he would try to find an opportunity to sneak up on a psychic to ask for information, and that it would be better if he could catch a psychic lord." To be honest, I'm not optimistic about his plans......" Ikris shook his head, then continued, "As for the Gatley, he sneaked past the northwest of the farm, where there are a dense number of aberrations...... He thought that it should be the production base of the transformed corpses of the natural disaster, so he went there to investigate the situation first. ”
