Chapter 580: The War (7)
The Alchemical Plague is launched by specially modified catapults, mixed with the stones thrown at the West, making it difficult to detect. It was only when the poison struck that I realized that the plague had spread and it was too late.
Reinhardt the Great looked up at the sky, and a large number of rocks like flying locusts whistled overhead. Although it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, he was familiar with a lot of knowledge of the dark arts, and he could easily distinguish the alchemical plague mixed in those stones and wrapped in several cloth bags.
"This is the end of this battle. He thought silently, but before the smile on his lips faded, the battlefield changed dramatically, and there were new twists and turns!
Al suddenly heard a very high-pitched birdsong! This was the secret signal that the nightingale had agreed with him a long time ago!
"It's coming!", he perked up, and looked up at the sky as well.
"Legend has it that everyone in the elf clan is a sharpshooter who wears through a hundred steps, this time I can really only count on you, you must not miss!", he prayed silently in his heart.
As if in response to his prayers, with a few strings in the elven procession, several arrows flew in a polygonal shape, as if they had eyes, and flew precisely and quickly towards the stones smashed into the sky.
However, these arrows were different from ordinary arrows, and a cloth bag was tied to the back of the arrow, and this cloth bag was covered with small green vines. And there was a long, thin thread tied behind the sack, and the other end of the thread seemed to be in the hand of the elven leader.
The tiger tendon string rings the bow opening, and the eagle feather wings and arrows arrive!
It was just a breath of effort, and with a "whoosh" of the cloth bag wrapped many stones flying in the sky, and the green vines crawling behind the cloth bag were like living creatures, tightly entangled, and the whole cloth bag was completely tightened at once.
As soon as the elven leader made a hard effort, he pulled the cloth bag down, and when the cloth bag arrived in front of her, she used her hand to support it, and spun it in the air, and finally completely removed the strength of the cloth bag, without causing any damage to the things contained inside.
Al took the cloth bag from the elven leader's hand, and tried to open it, but found that it was tightly wrapped in green vines, and he couldn't untie it at all.
"Look, this ......," he said, looking up at the elven leader.
She nodded, and with a finger of her hand, those tiny green vines were like conscious beings, and when they heard the order, they immediately untied each other, and all of them fell to the ground with a "crackle", reverting to extremely ordinary-looking vines.
Seeing the elven clan's command plant like an arm, Al could only be amazed, but now was not the time to admire. He carefully untied the cloth bag, and found several cloth bags from the large number of stones, which he did not dare to untie, but took them to the pandan grass that had been prepared aside.
"Well, is it the kind of poison left behind in Shining City?"
Pandan Grass took a package very solemnly and sniffed it as if it was tasting something, "I can feel the overflowing elements, but they are extremely rare, and they should be sealed." ”
As she spoke, she untied a cloth bag, revealing a gray-black crockpot hidden inside. The shiny black crockpot reflected the sunlight and shone with an ominous glow.
Pandan knew that the stakes were high, so she took a closer look, then took out a small white leaf that Al didn't recognize, and pasted it on the crockpot.
The snow-dyed leaves remained white at first, but it didn't take long for them to start changing color. Red, yellow, blue, green, black...... After a dazzling series of discolorations, the discoloration of the leaves finally stopped after turning purple, and then the purple slowly deepened, finally turning a blood-red color!
Seeing this, Pandan Grass finally breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Al: "This spiritual light leaf can roughly show the elemental changes contained in this clay pot, yes, it is indeed consistent with the experiments done in Shining City. ”
"It's really the same poison. ”
Hearing the confirmation of pandan grass, Al finally breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly collected these clay pots, handed them over to a group of troops that had already been arranged, and solemnly advised: "According to the previous arrangement, you should quickly take these poisons and stay away from the battlefield." Be careful not to break them, as long as you don't break these crockpots, you will not be in danger. ”
"Yes!", this squad was specially selected, the fastest soldier in the Western Army, Al did not dare to arrange cavalry, after all, there was an accident in the process of running the war horse.
Pandan Grass added later: "After staying away from the battlefield, hurry up and find a place to bury it deeply, according to the information collected in Glorious City, these poisons should be transmitted through the air, and it will be fine if you bury them in the ground." ”
After seeing the team leave with these dangerous crockpots, Al finally felt a big stone in his heart let go.
"It's done!", a smile appeared on his face.
In fact, during the long confrontation between the Western Frontier Army and the Western Legion that rushed to King Qin, Elco did not do nothing. Especially for the battle of the Northern Army to conquer Guangyao City, he sent a large number of intelligence officers to collect intelligence. After hearing about the tragedy that happened in the Shining City, he even took the knowledgeable archmages such as Pandan Grass, Medea, and Levi to investigate in person.
It was there that they confirmed that the Westfrontier possessed a terrible alchemical poison, a plague capable of turning the living into blood-hungry zombies.
Through a series of investigations and experiments, they also deduced the general characteristics of the poison:
First of all, the poison should be able to spread through the air, which makes the danger of this poison geometrically increased, which means that this poison is highly contagious.
Secondly, this poison should only attack when it sees blood, in fact, there are some surviving Kingdom soldiers hidden in the city after that battle, and they are all uninjured in the battle without exception. According to them, the soldiers who had changed at the beginning were wounded in battle and were waiting for treatment.
In the end, there should be no antidote to this poison for the time being, because according to the survivors, some of the wounded of the Northern Army were also infected and turned into zombies, which means that the Northern Army also has no antidote and vaccine for the time being.
After confirming these points, the combat strategy against these alchemy poisons was also formulated.
In the Battle of Shining City, the Northern Army used catapults to drop this poison, and they must have used the same method in the battle, otherwise they might have harmed themselves.
The dark elves have a keen sense of the element, so they arrange for the dark elves to discover and point out the direction of the alchemy poison when it is projected, and then the elves who are good at bows and arrows will stop all these poisons in the form of cloth bag arrows, and after being identified by the pandan grass with the most keen sense, they will be taken away from the battlefield by the arranged team for final processing.
This is also the reason why El has been reluctant to send a large army into the battlefield before, if the battle range is expanded, it is difficult to predict the flight position of these poisons, and there may be accidents in the chaos.
