242 knots, strong enemies like clouds
Dante worked hard with Ash, Lisa, and Gad for a while before finally settling the Stratholme refugees. After finishing his work, Dante remembered, how was the family of three? Why hasn't Mouthgate come to report for so long? He was more than enough to deal with a single undead zombie, why didn't he react?
Thinking of this, Dante suddenly felt that something was wrong and hurriedly ran back to find Boggs. As a result, to his surprise, the man infected by the venom of the dead did not turn into a zombie, and was still sitting there, snuggling up with his wife and children.
"Ah, master, here you are." Holding his double-edged battle axe, Boggs saw Dante approaching, and hurriedly pointed at the man and said, "Look, he doesn't seem to have turned into an undead monster." What the hell is going on? ”
Dante touched his head in surprise, thought about it for a long time, but didn't come up with a reason, shrugged his shoulders, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Uh, this, this is a good thing." To be honest, I didn't figure it out either. Could it be that he was born with a constitution that could resist the infection of the venom of the undead? ”
The injured man, his wife and children smiled happily when they saw Dante arrive. The wife said to Dante, "Look, Lord Dante, I said that my husband will be fine, right?" He looks better now! ”
Indeed, the wife was right, and her husband's face became a little better. When he escaped from Stratholme City just now, this man, as a soldier of the city garrison, was besieged by several undead zombies during the fight, and he was bitten and scratched in many places on his body.
But. Dante suddenly felt that there seemed to be a trace of magic in the injured man's body! This magic. It was the power of the demon king that flowed out.
What's going on? Dante was even more puzzled, he didn't give the power of the demon king to this man, why did he feel the same power in his body?
"Lord Dante? Mistress Dante? The injured man noticed that Dante was staring at him very seriously, thinking that something was happening, and hurriedly looked at his whole body, as if he didn't see anything special, and hurriedly asked. Mistress Dante, what are you looking at? I feel much better now, nothing special. ”
"Ahh No, it's okay, it's okay. Dante was shouted at him before he came back to his senses. Say. "Since it's okay, it's fine. However, for those infected by the venom of the dead, we must isolate and observe them for a period of time. The three of you will just wait for someone to bring food and lodging. You must live alone. And ......"
Dante pointed to his wife and children and said, "For your safety, Boggs will continue to stay here." Think it through yourselves. If something really happens to your husband and it hurts you again. Boggs will not show mercy! ”
"Yes, yes! Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir! The family of three was very happy and nodded their heads again and again.
So, Boggs continued to guard the family of three, and Dante returned to the Demon King's Castle to discuss his next steps with Gad.
In the small living room on the second floor of the castle......
Ash and Lisa, as women, could only have gone to help treat the sick and wounded, so they stayed on the refugee side of the settlement, not to discuss the plan with Dante.
Dante asks Gad, "Why didn't the wounded man mutate?" ”
Gad smiled and said, "Master, have you forgotten your talent?" You're very resistant to Shadow damage. ”
"Huh?" Dante felt a little strange and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Gad said: "Your Demon King Aura will not only support your subordinates in battle, but even in normal times, you will share your abilities with all those who are protected. The Demon King's Mist itself is an extension of the Demon King's aura, and I think that the Demon King's power should be able to suppress the infection of the undead venom and allow the infected to avoid mutation. ”
"Sure enough!" Dante heard it and said, "No wonder I sensed the power of the demon king in the wounded man's body, and that's why." ”
Then he said to Gad, "Then take a map and look at it." ”
"Master, please see the latest map." Gad spread the new magic map onto the table and said, "Take a look at it first. The map marks the spheres of influence and the latest movements of the Demon King's Army, the Undead Army, the Alliance Army, the Tribal Army, and the Scarlet Crusaders. ”
Dante took a look at it......
The Demon King's sphere of influence has now expanded to the entire Kingdom of Gilness, including the Demon King's Castle, the Fairy Plains, the Fairy Forest, the Fairy Mountains, and the entire territory of the Kingdom of Gilness.
He asked Gad: "Do you have all the supplies on Gilneth's side?" What is the current situation of Ariuzus? ”
Gade helped the pumpkin head and said, "Aleuzer is making good progress. He knew his homeland best, having taken control of the capital of the Kingdom of Gilneth and several major towns. Truth be told, those cities have been completely destroyed by the original crazy werewolves, and they can no longer be inhabited, they are all in ruins. Ariuzer had gathered a group of werewolves and was busy searching for treasure and supplies buried beneath the ruins. ”
"Well, that's good." Dante praised.
Gade asked, "Master, are you not afraid that he will rebel by delegating power to Ariuzher in this way?" ”
Dante waved his hand and said disapprehantly, "The Demon King Mark in his body will not allow him to do such a stupid thing." Ariuzer was not fit to be a leader, he actually preferred to live his own life. Just settle Gerald, that's his lifeline. ”
"Yes, master."
Dante then continued to look at the map......
The Griffon Kingdom has not yet completely fallen, but the forces of the undead have infiltrated all corners of the kingdom, engaging in stalemate battles with the remaining garrisons, draining its strength. The Griffon Kingdom still has the capital and the Bright Moon Mage's Guild camp near the capital city holding on.
Dante asks Gad, "Gad, prince of the griffon kingdom, what is the matter with Arthas?" I've only heard that he killed Kel'thugad first, and then led the main force to Northrend to destroy the main force of the undead. As a result, I only heard that it was defeat. Is he dead or not? Has the body been found? ”
"It was all just rumors," Gade said. I sent someone to investigate. Arthas was indeed defeated, but instead of dying, he became a powerful undead knight. Now, it is Arthas who is attacking the griffon kingdom. ”
"I see." Dante asked thoughtfully, "What the hell did he encounter in Northrend?" How did you put yourself in it? ”
Gade said, "No. However, the old king of the griffon kingdom, that is, the father of Arthas, Terenus, because he learned that his son had become a monster, led an army to counterattack him, and died of a violent illness. Now supporting the forces of the Griffon Kingdom in battle is the Chief General Uther, who taught the Alsace Paladins martial arts. ”
"In addition, the leader of the Bright Moon Magician Guild, the Grand Mage Antonidas, is also leading many of his mages to fight against the undead."
Speaking of this, Gade shook his head and said, "To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about the outcome of these two. ”
Dante asked, "How?" ”
Ged said: "Uther, the man, feels like Ariuzhe, fit to be a general, not a leader. He was very indecisive, had previously worked under Terenus, had orders from the old king, and was very efficient in getting things done. And now, the entire kingdom army is handed over to him to lead, and the fight is getting worse and worse, and he is losing and retreating. It seems that although Arthas has become an undead, he still inherits his father's resourcefulness. Sooner or later, Uther would be defeated by his own students. ”
"And what about Antonidas? He's probably stupid to be the guild boss. When the undead first appeared, he could have nip it in the bud in time, but he turned a blind eye and allowed the undead to spread under his nose. Now, I can't stop it. ”
"These two people have some flaws in their personalities, and it seems that the fall of the griffin kingdom has been ironclad."
"Well......" Dante nodded, "and you have a point." But what about the rest of the alliance's forces? Hammer Kingdom? Kingdom of Light? And the tribe side. ”
Ged said, "Master, the Kingdom of Light has sent troops to reinforce the Griffin Kingdom before, but it has been completely destroyed by the undead. Now, the undead army is making waves all over the world, attacking various forces, and the Light and Hammer are busy destroying the undead in their own realms, and the same is true on the tribal side. Neither the Light nor the Hammer seem to be eager to continue reinforcing the griffons. Maybe there are a lot of contradictions between them, right? ”
"That's the best!" Dante said, "Just divide them, and the more chaos there is, the better it will be for us!" ”
Gade continued: "It is worth noting that this Scarlet Crusade is a very powerful independent armed force of civilians. You've played against them in Stratholme before, so you should know something, right? ”
Dante nodded, "There is some intuitive understanding, but I don't think this Scarlet Crusader is a threat. ”
"Oh?" Gade asked, "Master, why do you say that?" ”
Dante thought for a moment and said, "Before, I went head-to-head with that crusader commander, Abydis, and killed him directly. I think that if the commanders of the Scarlet Crusaders are all that virtue, then the level of this force is really unflattering. ”
"Huh." Gade smiled and said, "Master, you have a point. However, the shipwreck also has half a ship nail, even if their leader is relatively brainless, he can't underestimate those below. ”
Dante said: "I think this Scarlet Crusader has a show, I want to take them, as much as I want, I don't know if it will work." I'm quite optimistic about them. ”
Gade said, "Well, go and attack their stronghold, while the alliance has no time to take care of it now." (To be continued.) )
