Chapter 020: The Corpse Crowd Siege the City
In the history of Diablo, Dicakane is one of the most important figures.
Whether it's the War of Original Sin or the Dark Exile, Dicakane plays a vital role in it.
Dikakane is a descendant of Zuihou in the Heradim lineage, having heard his mother tell stories about the brave heroes of Hradim. Out of a desire for heroes, he joins the Hradim Brotherhood, who is not a warrior mage, but more of a poet or scholar, constantly accumulating the knowledge of the demons that threaten the sanctuary shijie (that is, the place of refuge) in order to fight against the evil shili.
And Kane is also famous in heaven and has had many contacts with the archangel Tyrell. Years after Diablo was defeated, a Codex written by Kane was discovered, which recorded the events of two Hell invasions during the Dark Ages, and this codex was called Kane's Diary, and Dika Kane himself was known as the Wise Man because of his erudition.
If there was anyone in the Sanctuary who knew best about the struggle between the High Heavens and the Burning Hell, it was Deka Kane, for no one as a human knew the reason for it better than him.
All those who say that if Rose and Wolf and the others want to end this catastrophe, they must find Dicakane. And when Haoran saw this devastated land, he also had an impulse in his heart to save them, after all, under Haotian's teaching, the heart of punishing evil and promoting good, and relieving the world has penetrated into the soul, and it is impossible to change it.
So, when they got the half of the diary left by Dika Kane, Haoran and the others had already made supplies, and with plenty of food, fresh water, and camping supplies, they set foot on the road to Old Tristham again.
"Do you think it's weird?"
Haoran and the others walked on the abandoned streets of Old Trisham, looking at the empty ruins, showing puzzled expressions.
"Something is wrong!"
The wolf also looked at the empty ruins and walked vigilantly.
"Along the way, it's nothing to see resurrected corpses on the abandoned ancient road, but now that we've arrived at the ruins of Old Trissym, Weishenme still doesn't have a resurrected corpse?" Haoran stopped and said the doubts in his heart.
"I don't know! Be careful, everyone, and walk forward, and you will soon be where Leah said. The wild wolf shook his head, he also doubted that there was no resurrected corpse, but he didn't know the specific reason.
While Hao Ran and the two were talking, Rose's pair of blood-colored eyes hidden under the hood looked around cautiously, but she didn't find anything, so she could only follow Hao Ran and the two to continue deep into Old Trisham.
As the three of them went deeper, the strange aura became more and more intense, as if the resurrected corpses in the ruins of the entire old Tristm had evaporated from the world, and the silence was terrifying.
Soon after, the three of them arrived at the place Leah had mentioned, the only road leading to Trissym Cathedral, but the sight before them made the trio shudder after many trials of life and death.
At the foot of the hill where the Tristrom Cathedral is located, the original town buildings have been razed to the ground, and on the ruins of the empty house, it can be said that there are resurrected corpses all over the mountain, and there are as many as twenty or thirty thousand corpses in the mountains.
Between the staggering resurrected corpses, there are still many elite walking corpses mixed in, and if the three of them are found now, it is estimated that they will not even have room to resist, and they will be drowned in the sea of corpses.
"This ......"
The wild wolf was stunned and looked at the endless herd of corpses, and was suddenly speechless.
"Retreat!"
Rose reminded Haoran and the two of them, who were still immersed in shock, to step back silently.
The three of Haoran, their steps back were several times slower than when they came, their eyes kept staring at the movement of the corpses, and every roar of the elite walking corpses made the three of them tremble, for fear that it would be a signal that they had been discovered, and their tense muscles were ready to run away with all their strength at any time.
Fortunately, until they withdrew from the range of the corpses, they were not discovered by the corpses. But the way forward has been blocked by the hordes of corpses, and there is no other choice for Decakane to get rid of this path.
"Are we going to kill it, no kidding! Even if the union were to send ten squads, it would be no different from sending them to death, unless ......"
The three of them had already withdrawn from the range of the corpses, and after finding a relatively hidden abandoned house, the three of them hid in, and at this time, the wild wolves, who were accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't help but complain.
"Unless what?" Haoran heard something from the wild wolf's words and asked.
"Unless a team of high-level professionals is sent from above, we and those ordinary militiamen will only be sent to death."
The wolf said, and even he shook his head, because he knew that there were few high-level professionals, and even if there were more than a dozen teams in the union, they would not be sent to such a place.
"Don't think about it, the top won't send high-level professionals!" Rose stood in front of the window and looked out the window, she didn't look back and just said coldly, and at the same time dispelled the idea of the wolf.
"That's right......"
The wild wolf glanced at the rose, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he slapped his thigh and said to Hao Ran: "Brother Hao Ran, you are a secret mage!" Then there must be a way to contact the mysterious mage tower, as long as a high-level secret mage comes out of the mage tower, he will definitely be able to kill all these guys......"
"Ah...... What......" Haoran blinked his eyes and looked at the wolf blankly, as if he didn't know what the wolf was talking about.
However, Haoran really didn't know. The ancient mage lineage was cut off as early as when Zuihou sealed Dia Pineapple once, and no one knew where the mages lived, the Mage Tower. The current mystic mage is the evolution of some magic apprentices left in the mage tower after hundreds of years of study and enlightenment, and they rarely walk around the continent, so the mage has always been a mysterious existence to the humans in the sanctuary.
"I mean, you can ask your friend, or your master, to come over...... Otherwise, when the corpses moved, it is estimated that the first to suffer would be the ordinary humans of New Tristrom. The wolf thought that Haoran didn't hear him clearly, so he explained it again.
Hearing this, Haoran finally understood what the wild wolf meant, but what did he say. Saying that he is from another shijie, he is simply the secret mage you know, and even if he says this, no one will believe it.
"Uh...... My master is dead, and now I'm alone and have no friends! Haoran shook his head helplessly, he could only tell the truth, of course, it was impossible to say that he was from another shijie, which was in vain.
"Hey...... It seems that not only will we not be able to save Kane's wise man, but those ordinary people will probably ...... as well," the wolf let out a long sigh and did not continue, for he was afraid to recall the sight of the corpses of the human beings who had been slaughtered by the demons again.
"Silence!"
While Hao Ran and the two were talking, Rose had been observing the movement outside the room, and soon after, a resurrected corpse appeared in her sight, and then one after another, but after a while, it was all over the street, and it seemed to be endless, heading south.
Haoran and the wild wolf saw Rose's strange behavior, and they also quietly walked to the window and remained silent for a long time.
(That...... Isn't that the direction of New Tristem! )
