Chapter XXVII
Little by little, the night faded.
"The shamans' rituals are not in effect for a long time, from midnight to sunrise, which is only the middle of the night. If the nights were shorter, the duration would have been shorter. Jaime explained to Panda, "This is a plan that has been finalized after discussion, in order to prevent the monsters from continuing to attack and make the camp unable to resist. After sunrise, the ritual effect wears off, and the monsters lose the idea of storming the camp - by the way, there will be a very amazing scene, extremely rare, and an eye-opener. ”
The panda was first overjoyed and put down the worries in his heart, and then he was a little curious by him, not knowing what the "eye-opening" was, and secretly looking forward to it.
Soon after, he saw what he called an "eye-opening" scene.
When Chaoyang appeared on the horizon, the demonic beasts that were originally attacking frantically suddenly froze, and then fought each other as if they were crazy. The last second they were still fighting side by side, the next second they were already killing their comrades around them, and many demonic beasts rushed to the corpses of those demonic beasts in the trench, desperately biting and devouring.
This strange scene made everyone who saw this scene for the first time stay there, and it was just a panda that he hadn't thought of at all, and James, who was already mentally prepared, was no exception.
After a while, the panda frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
"These monsters are meant to fight and devour each other, and they didn't do it before because the ritual had captured their full attention. Now that the ritual is no longer valid, how can it matter to them that we behind the wall have prey around us?" Jaime shook his head, "To describe them as 'rabble' is an insult to the rabble!"
Only then did the panda understand what it was, and finally knew why the Mulandana crusade system could be maintained for a long time.
If there is no such effect, the demonic beasts will attack frantically day and night, and no matter how strong the copper wall is, I am afraid that they will not be able to resist it.
As it is now, as long as you fight for half a night every day, it is naturally much easier.
But he was relieved, and frowned again.
He clearly saw that after a demonic beast tore and devoured the corpses of many other demonic beasts, it suddenly raised its head and howled, and then the hair on its body quickly changed color, turning from gray to blue-gray, and its size also grew rapidly, growing by about one-third in a very short time, and even a single horn faintly appeared on its forehead.
This is the evolution of Warcraft.
By killing and devouring each other, the monsters can plunder the power of other monsters, and once they have accumulated enough power, they can evolve into a more powerful and long-lived higher race.
Of course, the panda knows about this kind of thing, but it is the first time he has seen it with his own eyes.
Then, he saw more demonic beasts evolving one after another, and at a glance, at least one-tenth of the massive demonic beasts surrounding the camp had evolved.
"How do you solve the problem of the evolution of demonic beasts?" he asked, without going around in circles, pointing directly at those demonic beasts.
Seeing the scene of the huge number of demonic beasts outside evolving one after another, James's face was also a little solemn: "According to experience, the speed of the evolution of demonic beasts cannot keep up with the speed of their losses. In the last few days, there will be demonic beasts that have evolved to a fairly high level, but only a few. As long as those few demonic beasts are killed, the entire crusade will be considered successful, and the next thing left is to sweep and finish the work. ”
"In every campaign in the past, most of the main losses have come from this last battle. "When I joined the Patrol Division, four of the ten knights in a team died in the previous raids, and three were disabled and retired, all because of the last battle. ”
The panda took a breath of cool air, seven of the ten knights were lost in battle, such a huge loss, it was really a little chilling.
All along, the Murandana Crusade Army has endured such losses, and has done its best to fight against the beasts of the Wolf's Den Lake year after year, and to defend this thriving land for the sake of humans, for the orcs, and for the creatures of this grassland.
For this, they paid a huge price.
Thinking of this, he looked at the knights in the camp with more respect in his eyes.
Regardless of their character or position, at least in terms of courage and sacrifice, they were exemplary among knights, and they were enough to be an example for people to follow!
"The last battle was the worst. Jaime sighed, "Other battles can be avoided in a way, but the last battle has no choice but to be tough." ”
"What if you fight early?" Panda asked, "Let's say, while the monsters haven't evolved to that point." ”
"Whenever the fight starts, the battle that starts is the last battle. Jaime replied.
The panda suddenly understood and sighed deeply.
He looked at the people in the camp below, humans, orcs, and some other races, regulars, adventurers, orc rebels...... I don't know how many of this improvised crusading army will be left after the final battle?
Hopefully, when the time comes, with his strength, he will be able to help a little bit and reduce the loss a little......
After a scuffle, the Warcraft finally restored peace for the time being. They devoured the corpses that had been piled up in the middle of the night's fierce battle, and then dispersed. By noon, there was no trace of the monster outside the camp, only the blood stains on the ground and the smell of the wind, proving the fierce battle last night.
At this time, the priests appeared one after another, each casting a spell to clean up the remaining blood.
It's not just about being clean and beautiful, but more importantly about being safe. A clean battlefield is relatively unfavorable to the Warcraft, at least a part of their power can be neutralized. Although after the fierce battle, the battlefield will be the same as before, but even if it is just a little more consuming the power of the Warcraft, it can make the final battle easier.
Anyway, it's still early before the decisive battle, so you don't need to save your strength, you can use your strength to your heart's content at this moment.
Panda didn't participate in the purification work, he was a holy warrior, not a priest or a priest, and he was still a "civilian" who was good at purification. He's the kind of thug in the priesthood. Although he could also take on a civilian position if necessary, since there were real priests and priests present, it was certainly not the turn of the holy warriors to do the purification work.
During this day, in addition to resting, many brave people also took the initiative to leave the camp and hunt monsters nearby.
It's like purifying the battlefield, even if you can't kill much, but if you can kill some, you can kill some.
Moreover, the corpses of the demonic beasts that are killed now can be dismantled and put away, which will not become nutrients for the growth of other demonic beasts, and can also provide loot for everyone, so why not?
The panda also went out of the door and eliminated several magical beasts.
In the close combat, he finally understood the difference between these demonic beasts and ordinary demonic beasts - they had a vigorous evil aura flowing from them, not the kind of evil that was fierce or the like, but the evil of the nature that seeped out of the soul.
This kind of evil, he had only felt in demons in the past, even those villains in the world, there was no such evil from the soul.
It was only one time that he clearly understood that there was absolutely no possibility of peaceful coexistence between this kind of thing and humans and orcs, and all kinds of intelligent beings who wanted to live in peace.
Without him, it's just a conflict of nature.
The creatures in the world generally belong to the group of "inherently good", although there are a very small number of them who are evil in nature, but compared to this kind of soul evil thing, it is really incompatible.
It is no wonder that over the years, Mulandana has been able to continuously organize crusading armies to suppress the beast tide in the area of Wolf's Den Lake.
Behind this, I am afraid that there are also various churches that have been supporting it......
