Under the reminder of the lieutenant general, the Iron Guard suddenly discovered the black gas that almost merged with the darkness of the tunnel. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The general was stunned, and involuntarily reached out on the black gas not far from him, and slowly circled around.

When he looked at his palm again, his eyes became strange.

"General!" The deputy general saw that the general was in a daze in place, and couldn't help but call.

"What a vicious black gas!" The Iron Guard muttered to himself, his eyes becoming more and more fierce.

It turned out that after the general touched the black qi with his hand, he suddenly found that all his attributes were dropping by 20 points!

This is equivalent to a 20% loss for a guard with a maximum stat of 100 points, and 20% of all attributes.

That's not a small number.

At this time, the Iron Guard's eyes adjusted to the dark tunnel, and he quickly saw what was happening inside.

His beloved soldiers are being slaughtered at a rapid pace!

In front of the Spartan warriors, the Iron Guard had their mounts cut off their front legs and then fallen.

Losing the mobility of their horses, heavily armed heavy armor is no longer an aid to the Iron Guards, but a burden to them.

In addition, the black qi caused their strength to drop by 20 points, and the heavy armor became extremely heavy, and it was a little powerless to move.

Even so, the Iron Guards won't lose so badly!

The Iron Guard General said strangely: "Why are those damned Spartans in the same black gas not affected by the black gas, but are fighting more and more fiercely?" ”

Not to mention that the Iron Guard generals don't know, even the mercenaries in the black air don't know what to do.

They just felt that their bodies were suddenly full of strength, their bodies were as light as swallows, and their heads became clearer.

Unbeknownst to them, the black qi that swirled around the Iron Guard's body fed back to them the attributes that had just been forcibly absorbed from the Iron Guard, increasing their various attributes by 20 points when it entered the periphery of their bodies.

Between this increase and decrease, the strength of the two sides is a full difference of one level.

Also benefiting were Spartan warriors.

They are accustomed to this imagination.

Sandru didn't expect such a change.

The prophecy of Yun Qi saying just now, "I have no way to make you stronger, but there is a way to make the enemy weaker", really came true.

By now, Sandru has gradually understood why Yunqi has such confidence.

Sandru was an expert in curses, and he knew that he was powerless to deduce the immediate result from a few details like Yun Qi.

However, after the results have been obtained, and then reverse the antecedents, Sandru still has the ability.

The antecedent of the incident should be this:

Before the battle for the towers could begin, Leonidas ordered Sandru to prevent the corpses of all the Persian sentinels from being converted into undead skeletons, and instead interspersed them on wooden stakes on both sides of the road at Thermopylae.

At first glance, it seemed to be a demonstration against the enemy, but later, Leonidas sent the Black Rous wizard to cast a spell on the corpses, which reminded Sandru of the "curse".

This is terrifying, and it is the most powerful ability of the Helots.

Using the corpse as a medium, it unleashes the curse spell, which consumes the caster's own life force as a source of energy, accelerates the decay of the corpse, and produces the "black qi" seen by the Iron Guard.

In fact, these black qi are the manifestation of the curse technique.

The manifestation of the spell is a testament to the power and strength of the curse.

A powerful curse that quickly reduces the abilities of the strong Iron Guards.

And what even Yun Qi didn't expect was that this curse technique had a stronger place: after absorbing and reducing some of the enemy's attributes with black qi, it could also directly feed back the reduced attributes to his own people, making them greatly stronger.

Under the advantages of the other, the strong Persian iron guard was restricted by space and could not give full play to the advantages of cavalry, so it was no wonder that he was undefeated.

It's just that Sandru is a little unclear.

Helot's curse is too powerful, and it's a range curse, so he should ignore the enemy and the enemy. But why is it that under the curse of black gas, it is always the enemy who is injured and the friendly army who benefits?

If this phenomenon only happened to the Spartans, that would be it. You could explain that the Spartans had prepared for it, and that the Black Lotus wizards had done something to them beforehand to make them immune and benefit from the curse.

But mercenaries also have such benefits, so it doesn't make sense.

"What? Can't figure out why we benefit from the curse as much as the Spartans? ”

A voice suddenly sounded in Sandru's mind.

Needless to say, Yun Qi used the Spirit Rhino Heart Determination on him.

Yun Qi expected that with Sandru's attainments in necromancy, he must have guessed that the black qi was some kind of curse technique, so he went straight to the core of the problem.

Sandru said: "That's what I've been figuring out. ”

"Confused, remember what we did before the battle?" Yun Qi reminded.

Sandru secretly exclaimed: "I see! ”

Before the start of the tower defense, Leonidas had 100 volunteers and Spartan soldiers to guard the front line of Thermopylae.

At that time, all the mercenaries joined and were rewarded with a glass of wine from the king of Sparta.

It's just that after drinking that glass of wine, it didn't get any additional attribute increase (3 times the vitality recovery speed) like the wine given by the previous village sacrifice.

At that time, Sandru felt strange.

A small ruined village can store sacrificial wine that triples the vitality of the restored, how can Sparta, the leader of the dignified Greek city-states, be rewarded with wine, how can it be blessed with no attributes?

It turned out that the wine was not used to increase their combat power, but to resist the curse spell of the Black Laus wizard.

On the other side, the Iron Guard's face became more and more ugly, and his lieutenant suggested stopping the attack.

But the general could not: "It is getting dark, and my king's army cannot stand on the shores of the Euboea, but must rush to a harbor thirty miles from here before it is completely dark." In other words, we are the last soldiers to attack Thermopay Pass today. ”

"Then let's withdraw first, and then make plans tomorrow." The lieutenant general suggested.

"Bastard! Those servants and soldiers did not retreat, and they were guarded with iron guards, how could they not even be as good as them! What's more, I have signed a military order not to take the hot spring pass, and I will not give up. ”

When the lieutenant heard the words "military order," he didn't dare to say more.

Now there is only one way in front of them: take the hot spring pass!

The Iron Guard Warrior's expression was grim, and he said: "Pass the order, the Iron Guard Cavalry listen to my orders, hold your breath, don't let the black gas inhale your mouth and nose, and strive for a quick victory!" ”

There is no way to do it.

With the strength of the iron guard, hold your breath and hold your breath for at least about five minutes. If you are in a fierce battle, the consumption rate of your inner breath will only double, and I am afraid that you will not be able to hold on to it for half the time.

But what else can be done besides this trick?

And the result was beyond the expectations of the Iron Guard. (To be continued.) )
