Chapter 12: Natural Disasters Strike
Transferred Warrior Guild -
There is no candle flame in the gloomy hall, the passing wind carries the chill of the forest, and next to the statue of the god of war cast in brass, the nine coiled dragon pillars stand quietly in the dark, like the guards who have guarded here since ancient times.
In front of the statue of the god of war, an old man with white hair covered in the ground knelt there reverently, his hands crossed on his chest, and his eyebrows could not hide his boredom and worry.
"Grown, it's late at night...... You...... Have you been praying for hours and still not sleeping? A middle-aged man dressed in red came out of the darkness with a thick book in his hand.
The white-haired man turned his head, his face did not look old, but his eyes as black as the abyss showed that he had lived a long time.
News has just arrived from the neighboring city of Beach that the fragments of the Frozen Throne have descended, and that Beach has lost all its lives, leaving not one of the guard's people alive.
It's Bilo's turn next.
Can a once-in-a-century catastrophe be avoided this year?
"God of War bless." The middle-aged man in red also knelt in front of the statue of the god of war with his hands crossed, praying that our warriors would bring us victory.
On the continent of Dota, the Legion of the Guards and the Legion of the Scourges have been hostile since their inception, and they will never die.
The Legion of the Guards is composed of humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, goblins, etc., while the Scourge legion is composed of the undead, unidentified creatures, evil dragons, fallen elves, etc.
Each of them has its own ancient ruins on which they live.
The World Tree of the Legion, the Frozen Throne of the Scourge Legion.
The World Tree brings infinite vitality to the world, allowing the land to be cultivated, the spring water to irrigate, and the flowers, birds, fish and insects to flourish.
At the same time, it can also form an enchantment, protect the creatures under its shade, and restrict the entry of powerful death forces, generally only the Scourge Legion transfer warriors below level 11 can barely enter the enchantment, and after they enter the land of life, they will also be eroded by the power of life, continue to hurt blood, and will die if they do not replenish their life in time.
The Frozen Throne is the opposite, it brings death to the world, it makes the land barren, the water breeds pestilence, and the things become undead.
It can also form an enchantment, nourish the people of the Scourge under its shade, and restrict the entry of powerful life forces, and it can only be entered by the Guards below level 11, because the barren land is full of plagues, the Guards who enter the Scourge Barrier must continue to suffer blood, and must constantly replenish their health with the ancient sacrifices of Essif.
Every hundred years, the World Tree blossoms and bears thousands of seeds of life. At this time, the Guardian Heroes stationed in the Sanctuary World Tree will leave the Sanctuary with the Life Seed and return to the Dota Continent to distribute the seeds to the many former soldiers of the Guard.
They would then infiltrate the Scourge Legion's Wasteland with these seeds, plant them quietly, and watch them grow, and in a matter of days, the Life Seed would be able to purify a large area of the surrounding wasteland, making it suitable for the people of the Guards.
Thus, the Guards Corps will have one more city.
Similarly, every hundred years, the Frozen Throne drops fragments, and the Scourge heroes stationed near the Frozen Throne of the Demon Realm will also distribute the fragments of the Frozen Throne to the Scourge Legion's converted warriors.
Let them carry these shards to infiltrate the Guards' Legion's Land of Life, pass through the complex magic circle, awaken the power hidden in the shards, and turn a large area of Life into a barren land.
In this way, the Scourge will have one more city.
What are the benefits of having more cities? There are many benefits, the most important of which is that there are more cities and a larger population base, and there will naturally be more excellent warriors trained, so that they can gain an advantage on the frontal battlefield, and even finally destroy the ancient ruins that the other side depends on for survival.
Due to the vastness of the Continent of Dota, which spans tens of millions of miles and the number of cities, the seeds of the World Tree and the fragments of the Frozen Throne, although numerous, are relatively few compared to the many cities that are as starry as the sky.
As a result, cities are generally very stable, and they will only be attacked unless they are particularly unlucky.
Coupled with the fact that the time period is once in a hundred years, most of the transferred warriors have never encountered the arrival of the Frozen Throne in their lives.
Although many of the guards and former soldiers guarding the city have been patrolling and protecting their homes, most of the time they cannot detect the invasion of the Scourge Legion, after all, the area around the city is too wide.
Bilo has been established for more than a thousand years, and there has only been one record of being invaded by the Scourge so far, and that was also the first attack on Beechcraft, and it was very fortunate that the converted soldiers who had been upgraded outside of Bilo City discovered the traces of the Scourge in time and eliminated them, capturing the fragments of the Frozen Throne.
Legend has it that the Frozen Throne Fragment has a magical effect on the Guard's Legion's Returning Warriors, and even a poorly qualified Frozen Throne Fragment can become a Returning Hero if he learns how to use it.
So, while the attack on the city is an unfortunate event, in a sense, it is not an opportunity for job changers.
Now that Beechcraft City has been attacked again, Billo City is probably already patronized by the Scourge Legion.
Once the power of the Frozen Throne Fragment awakens, how many people in the city will survive the plague?
Maybe tomorrow, Bilo City will be a place of bones.
"Tell me to go down, the whole city is ready to evacuate, now." The chairman made this decision with difficulty, and the moment he spoke, he seemed to be much older, and thousands of years of inheritance were destroyed in his own hands, how did he face those martyrs who opened up the territory with flesh and blood?
……
"How long can the True Eye last?" A voice that was slightly hoarse from exhaustion sounded in the depths of the stone forest. (True Eye: The common name of the sentry guard with the true vision effect in Warcraft Dota, an invisible blue eye, used to scout invisible units, is a very important item in Dota.) )
"Six...... Minute. It was a girl who answered, her voice trembling slightly.
Seven people, five men and two women, hid in a corner where the moon did not shine, standing back to back, their tired faces highly nervous, and all their weapons were taken out in order to attack at the first time.
Among them, two men and one woman are the tall and thin young men of the Grass Wolf Mercenary Group, the alarm clock man and the moon rider Luna.
The other three men and one woman, none of whom are from the Steppenwolf Returned Warrior Corps, all of them have a flying eagle logo embroidered on their chests, and belong to the Black Fellow Warrior Regiment, which is the largest Returned Warrior Regiment in Billo City, and the supporters behind him are the Jones family.
Among the four, the leader of the team was a middle-aged man, William Jones, the eldest son of the Jones family, whose qualifications were not outstanding in the Jones family, otherwise he would have inherited the position of patriarch long ago.
Their faces were stained with a faint amount of blood, and the alarm clock man was also injured, and his arms were bandaged, and blood oozed out and slowly dripped down.
"How many eyes?" The hoarse voice was made by William, his eyes dark and cold.
"Four." The girl who answered was no more than in her early twenties, holding a long sword in her hand, and her appearance was good, but there was a trace of tiredness in it that could not be concealed, which made people feel pity when they saw it, she was William's cousin, Jones Xiang.
The general appearance of the transferred soldiers will not be bad, and after the tempering of energy, their figure and appearance will develop in a good direction. Even the alarm clock man with a special face shape looks very pleasing to the eye, especially the pair of thick eyebrows, which is very energetic.
"It may not be us who first found out about the other party." It was Luna, her voice calm and calm.
"Shut up for me." William's eyes burst into flames, and although he deliberately lowered his voice, the energy contained in it still made people's eardrums ache for a while, "Damn, I suspect that you bastard brought them in." ”
Luna's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a chill flashed across the delicate dagger she held in her right hand. She turned her head suddenly, and her gray eyes locked on the middle-aged man.
