Chapter 222: The Scourge of the Undead (2)
In the summer of the seventy-eighth year of the Sacred Calendar—
Dozens of official wizards hurriedly gathered in a small village next to the Gary River, and Pol Klermo led nearly thirty powerful official wizards from the Wizard's Tower to travel day and night, across several countries, and drove the cultivated flying beast Cloud Eagle to arrive here (not a magical beast, similar to Jinnyima), and joined the wizards of the Colossus Castle led by Uruk, who came from the Amos Hospital.
Bol, the tower lord, led dozens of official wizards into the city of Danelo, which had been completely overrun by the undead creatures, and a fierce battle broke out in the city, where the tower lord incarnated into an eagle demon state to fight against Adenos, who had become the Death Lord.
The Eagle Demon state with strong regeneration ability, with strong defense ability and dream sorcery, Bol, engaged the Death Monarch Ardnos, although Adenos became a seventh-level mythical creature, but there was no low-level mythical life template to match, but it only had the immortality of a mythical creature and a strong mental power control and coverage ability.
But even so, he still relied on the huge spiritual power and the power of the corpse dragon, coupled with the overwhelming undead and soul fire he controlled, which was his extraordinary creature template power, which was densely packed with the combat power of a seventh-level mythical wizard.
The extraordinary abilities of the bloodline sorcery, and the projection ability of the dream wizard, destroyed and shattered the entire city of Denelope.
The dragon roared, the witchcraft in the sky continued to intertwine, and a large number of projected illusions and embodied monsters appeared in the sky of Denelo City, tearing the sky with extraordinary power, but they were still gradually dying under the impact of the Death Monarch and a large number of undead creatures, and everyone never returned.
The battle, which gathered nearly half of the wizard's high-end power, was directly destroyed in Danelo City, and the Song of the Necromancy Witchcraft Formation could not be reused, and it was impossible to transform the undead creatures with soul fire as the core in large quantities, most of the creatures died directly, and the consciousness was decomposed and returned to the origin of the world, but Ardnos still captured a large number of living people for transformation, and the number of undead was still under the transformation of the Dead Monarch, gradually expanding.
After learning that dozens of wizards, mainly the sorcerer tower master, had not returned from Danelo City, the army led by the paladin Eevee knew that it could no longer wait, and nearly 200,000 troops crossed the banks of the Gary River and entered the province of Inan, completely launching a decisive battle with the army of the undead.
-----------------
On the banks of the Gary River, a large number of corpses floated down from above, and the corpses blocked the entire river, and the blood stained the river red, and the corpses piled up from the Gary River all the way to the province of Inami.
The last time such a tragic situation occurred on the Gari River, it was the alliance of the Church of Light and the Cretan Empire that entered the kingdom of Menkaure, and the king of Menkaure committed suicide by throwing himself into the river with the sword of royal power, and the entire kingdom of Menkaure was full of dead bodies.
"Knock knock!"
"Knock knock!"
"Woo!"
The footsteps were dense, and the sound of the death knight's horn beckoned all the undead to gather here.
And at this moment, in the province of Inan, the army of the undead crossed the river mightily, and a death knight on a bone horse, under the sound of a horn, flowed across the narrowest beach in the upper reaches of the Garry River, and countless undead swam through, officially leaving the province of Inan and heading towards the interior of the Holy Sevier Empire.
Looking down from the sky, the mighty Necromantic Army, an array entirely composed of monsters and the dead, covered the entire land, densely packed with coldness that made people feel biting cold on this summer day.
And from the end of the team, a corpse dragon flew in the sky, the huge figure and wings trembled, and the inciting air currents seemed to be felt on the earth, as the corpse dragon advanced, the black clouds in the sky seemed to move forward together, and the entire army of the undead was like a whole, with the blessing of the corpse dragon and the Death Monarch, it became more powerful.
"Roar!"
With the roar of the dragon, the army accelerated its march and headed east, crossing the Gary River, all the way to the east, and it was able to reach Sakya City, and the forces that could resist the army of the undead on the way were completely wiped out in the battle half a month ago.
In the battle half a month ago, the commander-in-chief of the army of 200,000 people, Paladin Eevee, under the extraordinary power of the celestial phenomena controlled by the black corpse dragon, was severely injured by the blizzard and hail from above the clouds, and then dragged by hundreds of thousands of undead, and gradually collapsed under the continuous consumption and delay.
Paladins Eevee and Aaron died one after another, and the overwhelming army of the undead, regardless of life and death, fought with the orc army, but this kind of undead, as long as it is not completely dismantled and dispersed the soul fire, will not really die, and the army of 200,000 is constantly consumed in this war of attrition, cold, frost, and hail continue to attack them.
The escalation of extraordinary power has made the role of individual power in this kind of war more and more obvious, and since the emergence of extraordinary power, this situation has been accepted by all countries and ordinary people.
Although the orc army killed a large number of undead, but the real elite, the Northern Knights and the Holy Knights, were also consumed, after the death of the paladins Eevee and Aaron, the army completely collapsed, nearly 100,000 people were driven by the undead, forced to cross the Gary River overnight, countless people were drowned, chased and killed on the riverside, and the rest of the people were scattered as birds and beasts.
The battle between humans and orcs more than ten years ago not only caused the destruction of the Cretan Empire, the entire Zhongzhou fell apart, but also caused a traumatic wound to the Holy Sevier Empire, and it was not until these years that it gradually recovered, and this war brought the Holy Sevier Empire back to more than ten years ago, and the situation collapsed even more and could not be contained.
The Monarch of Death adheres to the obsession of hundreds of thousands of necromancers, and will chase the pace of the living, pulling everyone into the abyss of death, and in this kind of warfare, death continues to be generated, more and more undead creatures, and the growth of the group will also derive more powerful creatures, transcendent skeletons, skeleton mages, king-level ghouls, and headless horsemen are constantly generated.
"Lost, we lost, the army of the dead led by the Monarch of Death is about to fight!"
"The Northern Knights led by Lord Eevee have also been defeated?"
"Lord Eevee is all dead, the power of evil is too strong!"
"What to do? What are we going to do? ”
"I had to flee, to the north, or to the south!"
The people, who had long since learned of the crushing defeat of the orc army and the crossing of the river by the army of the undead, had long since abandoned their cities and villages, and fled to the north or south of the Red River Plain, where the army of the undead passed was full of abandoned empty cities and villages.
"Get out of here and keep order!"
"Everyone line up and leave in order!"
"Don't mess up, violators will be punished severely!"
"How did it become like this, those dead monsters, are they really going to fight?"
"Hurry up, I heard that those guys are coming soon, they are eating alive and turning us into monsters like them, I don't want to be that kind of monster!"
"Why, gods, is this a punishment for us?"
In Sakya City, the large army will withdraw first, and all the citizens of the city will follow the pace of the army and migrate to the northern province of Primonius, the former site of the Kingdom of Enguido.
Moreover, in Sakya City, there are not many remaining troops, and only by retreating to the base camp in the north, the origin of the Holy Sevier Empire, can we once again organize troops to fight against the army of the undead led by the Dead Monarch.
A large number of trailers and horses and camels passed through the wide city gates, and on the road to the north, countless people joined them, and a long migratory brigade stretched out on the road, with no end in sight, countless orcs with their children and daughters, abandoning their warm and comfortable homes and heading north, and what lies ahead, no one knows.
A large number of orcs wept bitterly when they left Sakya City and their homes, and many people of the older generation watched how this huge and prosperous capital was built on the ruins of the original holy city in the hands of their generation, bit by bit, and now that they are gone, it is very likely that they will never come back.
The densely populated capital of Holy Seville has become empty with the migration of a large number of people to the north, and Verdanti, as the emperor, is in the Kerui Cathedral in Sakya City, she will be the last to evacuate, waiting for everyone to leave, and then leave with her own guards, only in this way, the nobles and commoners in the entire Sakya City will leave this place safely.
In this church, named after the first patriarch of the Church of the Sun, Verdanti was alone, dressed in a white loose shirt, kneeling in front of the statue of the god, with his hands folded on his chest and facing the god in a prayerful position, never moving from the rising of the sun to its setting.
