Act 53 The Black Knight of the Eternal Cult
Annu glanced at Bai Gang, sighed, and said, "Lord Earl, your curiosity is really strong, even at this time, don't forget to ask why...... Okay, okay, I don't think you will take your medicine in peace if I don't say it.
This pill is made from the blood of the Demon Beast Blood Ape, don't look at it now, it only has a little bit, but after injecting magic power and swallowing it, it can turn into a big wine glass of blood in the body. It is condensed by alchemists with magic, and if you want to release it, you naturally need magic, it's that simple.
As for how to make this pill, I'm sorry, I'm not an alchemist, and I don't know, but if the Earl is interested, you can go back and find an alchemist to ask, I'm sure they'll be happy to answer your questions. ”
Well, since it is a magical creation, Bai Gang is not going to continue to delve into it, anyway, even if he asks, he doesn't understand, and from Annu's answer just now, he knows that he actually knows nothing about this pill. Turning into a big cup of blood in the body? Not to mention that the digestive tract is not a blood vessel, even if you drink a bucket of blood, you can't directly replenish it into the blood vessel, even if you really go in, don't you have to worry about the problem of blood type?
Since I can't ask anything, I just don't care, this pill has been used by the aborigines for a long time, and there shouldn't be any problems.
After swallowing the pill according to Annu's method, Bai Gang felt that there was a heat current surging in his body, and his physical strength was rapidly recovering, and sure enough, as Annu said, by noon, Bai Gang was already alive.
The rest of the journey was unusually smooth, and Calso led the expedition through the mountains and forests with no roads at all, and rarely saw high-level undead along the way, except for the middle and low-level undead who pounced on them from time to time. Obviously, if there are no high-level undead, no matter how many mid- and low-level undead there are, it will only be a food delivery for the expedition team, and even the weakest combat effectiveness of the white steel one-on-one is not worth it.
Things are very strange, everyone in the team can't figure it out, if the defense of the undead is only to this extent, then the first two expeditionary teams will not be able to be wiped out at all, and it can even be said that with their strength, the task can be completed with ease!
Gargoyles are a big trouble for a civilian team like them, but it's impossible to deal with the elite expedition sent by the Seven Kingdoms!
In addition to gargoyles, the only high-level undead encountered along the way are the necromancers who guard the portal. But although he is super strong, he should not be the opponent of a whole team of masters.
It's a clue, but for now, it's a good thing.
Because the expedition had lost all its horses and almost all of its supplies in the previous battle, everyone had to eat and sleep in the open and get a little food by hunting in the wild, which obviously slowed down the speed of the team.
It wasn't until the third day that the expedition finally reached the edge of the mountain forest, and the river in the distance was in sight.
Seeing that they were about to walk out of the mountains and forests, the whole team was very excited.
Annu happily said to White Steel: "There is the Leuval River ahead, the undead forces in this vicinity are very weak, we can follow the river all the way to the south, so that we don't have to worry about getting lost, water and food." ”
White Steel was still worried about the pursuit of the undead.
"It's safe here? Will the undead catch up? ”
"Safety? There's no real safety at all until we get back to my warm fireplace, but the longer we don't encounter the undead, the safer we are, doesn't it? ”
"That's true."
Bai Gang sighed, the originally imagined strong interception did not appear, which made him inevitably beat the drum in his heart, but in this situation, even if he was worried, he couldn't change anything, so he could only go on.
"Alright, we're out!"
Finally out of the forest, Annu shouted excitedly, and ran quickly towards the Loyval River, but before he had taken two steps he stopped, not only him, but the entire expedition.
Just in front of them, a cavalry team of nearly 100 people was waiting for them!
The team is all composed of human knights in black heavy armor, lined up, and you can tell that these people are definitely elite just by their momentum.
What puzzled Bai Gang was that it was obviously a human team, but everyone in the expedition team did not have a trace of joy, but instead all clenched the weapons in their hands and secretly stood in a battle formation, as if standing in front of them was a team of undead chasers.
Annu quietly explained, "These people are from the Eternal Cult! Get ready for battle! ”
Bai Gang's heart was overwhelmed, during this time, he inquired a lot about information, and knew that the Eternal Cult was one of the three major forces of the undead.
There are three major forces of the undead, the Eternal Sanctuary of the human undead, the psychic holy tower of necromancers, and the Lingdong Alliance formed by several powerful undead lords. Fighting the humans in Echo Canyon are the undead army of the Psychic Tower, and the portal belongs to them.
The three undead forces all looked at each other unpleasantly, and the infighting was even more fierce than the battle with the living.
The Eternal Nation on the Thundering Peninsula is a nation of politics and religion that call their land the Sanctuary and believe that believers are God's chosen people and that other pagans are mere lowly mortals. This kingdom of Hagrian, the god of death, has a very peculiar structure, a society where humans and the undead coexist.
In the teachings of the god of death, the relationship between humans and the undead is not opposite but unified, just like the relationship between a caterpillar and a butterfly, human beings are the juvenile form of the undead, and death is not the end of life but a metamorphosis, so that human beings finally break out of their cocoons into butterflies and become eternal beings - undead.
Because of Hargrian's teachings, humans living in the Sanctuary of the Eternal Kingdom do not see anything wrong with serving the undead, and the undead do not do anything to their "younger kind".
Looks harmonious, doesn't it?
But this harmony is only internally, and externally, they despise the living heretics, and like to take them back as slaves; They are also hostile to the reincarnated spirits of non-believers, believing that they are blasphemy against the sacred race of the undead! They have been working to eradicate the undead of non-believers, and their relationship with other undead forces is on the same footing. Especially the necromancers of the Psychic Tower, the followers of the Eternal Holy Cult are extremely disgusted with these undead corpses who like to enslave the undead, believing that the existence of the necromancer itself is a kind of desecration against Hargrian, and once they meet, they will never die.
It's just that...... Obviously, this is the territory of the forces of the Psychic Holy Tower, isn't the undead of the Eternal Realm at odds with them? How did it end up here?
What's even more strange is that these knights just happened to block the white steel them!? It's as if you knew their course of action from the beginning.
