Chapter 984: The Battle of the Northland of the Scourgeon Legion (Part II)
It's very troublesome to get a corpse in peacetime, even if it's against the countless living people's 'I didn't have a baby*** After all, the probability of accidental death of ordinary people in peacetime has decreased a lot, and even if the corpse of normal aging and death is transformed into undead, it can only become low-level cannon fodder, considering the problems such as loose bones caused by old age and the return of the soul to the sea of souls, these lowest-level undead are usually not as good as cannon fodder.

The most tragic thing is that the identity of the undead can't even buy slaves like ordinary people, not to mention the problem of money, that is, those slave traders in the free city who claim to make money and don't even care about trading with demons, they dare to trade with demons but dare not trade with death.
The living have a natural taboo and fear of the dead, and for the slave traders, even if they can make a lot of money, they must spend their lives, and who knows if the other party will turn themselves into one of the corpses. In addition to the slave traders, some countries and forces that have secretly traded with Aisolos do not dare to blatantly provide slaves for Aetholos Island, after all, human slaves are resisted at the same time in the east and west of the continent, once it is found that there is an official human slave trade in the face of the pressure of the two major religious forces, even the king can not bear it, let alone the ordinary nobles.
The cost of a foreign slave is a little too high for both the undead and the secular kingdom, and some countries in private are only death row prisoners as a trade, although the frantic and brutal souls of death row prisoners are very popular with necromancers, but after all, the number is too small is still a drop in the bucket.
It is precisely because the corpse is becoming more and more difficult to get hold of, some necromancers have also begun to kill people in a desperate manner, and then take the soul and plunder the corpse, although Atholos Undead Island is an outlaw place, necromancers usually only busy with their own research and rarely care about other things, but recently more and more necromancers have begun to go to the mainland to find materials, and some Lengtou Qing has not done a good job of covering up so that Athelos Island is also getting more and more attention, although for the undead their reputation has long been stinking and does not care how much the living fear themselves, but the undead do not want to be overly concerned and attract crusadesFor this reason, the current leader of the Isle of the Dead, Beltmore Aethor Athelos, has been gathering everyone and starting to formulate some limiting rules, so as to prevent the actions of some necromancers from bringing disaster to the Isle of the Dead.
But that's okay now!
Gugel looked at the corpses of the Oger barbarians who had been transported back with satisfaction, they were all very fresh and had just been killed, and even the souls had not yet fully returned to the Sea of Souls, and it seemed that it was the right choice for him to stay and be responsible for observing the combat power of the Scourge Legion, rather than hurriedly continuing to the west to find the Children of the Stars. However, these corpses were killed by the undead warriors of Athelos Island, and if they were killed by the Scourge Legion, the dead Oger barbarians would quickly transform into undead and join the battle.
Arthas, the Lich King, has a special ability to quickly transform any living person into a dead person, this ability has always fascinated Gugel, an important reason why the Oger barbarians are invincible to the Scourge army is also here, while killing a person on their own side, the other side will have one more enemy, and the result of fighting like this will inevitably be that they have fewer and fewer enemies, and on the contrary, more and more, plus the undead are tireless and do not need food supplies and morale, etc., the undead army has a unique advantage in war.
Although he didn't get all the corpses of the Oger barbarians, these were enough to be shared by the undead who followed.
In a clearing at the back of the base camp, a slaughterhouse was running at full speed in a space filled with the smell of blood, enough to make any living person faint at the sight of it, and the acolytes in dark robes in the Scourge Legion were quickly disposing of a large number of fragmented corpses, whether it was the Oger barbarians who had just been killed or the human corpses before were quickly divided and sorted, and then the acolytes skillfully stitched together different corpse pieces together, injected into the undead plague, and then applied necromancy spells, and soon the ugly and deformed abomination trolls stood up and walked towards the battlefield with heavy steps and endless malice towards the living。
On the other side, the undead of Atholos are busy dealing with the corpses of the Oger barbarians who have just gotten their hands, of course, there are some Oger barbarians who still have their last breath in the middle of the term, but for the necromancer, it doesn't matter whether they are alive or dead, anyway, they are just materials, for this reason, these necromancers, who are not ruthless but are a little lacking in emotion, do not care about the living and corpses of the Oger barbarians are embalmed equally, as for those piercing wails and screams, they are ignored by the necromancers。 Compared with the screams of physical pain, the real screams that make people's hearts chill are when the soul of the Oger barbarians is stripped of their bodies and bound, and the pain that never rests is the most tormenting.
Anyway, when the Oger barbarians used to wreak havoc on the continent, they were even more cruel than the undead because they had a habit of eating raw, and every time they breached a town, the men would be killed for food, and the women would be toyed with and killed for food.
And the several undead dark warriors behind him also had a red fierce light in their eyes, as if they were touched by the bloody breath of the battlefield and the obsession of killing and belligerent in the depths of their souls, if it weren't for the order these warriors got to stick to the base camp, maybe they would have rushed to the battlefield impatiently to fight happily.
After all, they were warriors in front of them, and even after death, they did not completely forget some unforgettable memories of the past, not to mention that some people deliberately transformed themselves into undead spirits in order to gain great power, or to continue to satisfy their inner warlike desires.
"Rest easy, souls eager to fight, although I know that you are eager to fight as much as Lord Ingram, but this time we are guests and need to obey the master's arrangement, and there will be opportunities for you to show your skills in the future, this war is not the last. Feeling the longing in the hearts of his compatriots, Gugel smiled gloomily and comforted.
"Yes, this is not the last battle, but only the first step in the conquest of this pathetic and savage race by His Majesty the Great Lich King. Karthas, the Death Carnator, floated with his staff in his hand.
Seeing the arrival of the important ministers around the Lich King, Gugel also bowed slightly to show his respect, after all, even if he became an undead, the belief that the strength of this world represents the status is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, although Gugel is a necromancer who has specialized in necromancer for many years, but in essence, he has not yet broken away from the shackles of the flesh and become a lich, and Karthhas in front of him is an out-and-out invisible lich, and there are only no more than five necromancers in Aetholos Island, including the current leader Beltmore, a total of no more than five necromancers have successfully made themselves lichs。
"I have to say that the Scourge Legion is more powerful than expected, but the Oug barbarians seem to have noticed the situation, and according to the detection of the scouts, it seems that a large number of Ogg barbarians have unusually begun to assemble, and their number is conservatively estimated to be more than one million. Praise is praise, and Gugel also suggested some of the next things to come.
Karthhas let out a gloomy laugh and seemed to care: "It's useless~ It's useless to come! Death will swallow everything, and these Oger barbarians will only make the Scourge Legion add more soldiers. ”
"If it's just the Oger barbarians, I'm sure the Scourge can do it. ”
Powerful death knights, terrifying abomination trolls, meat grinders for sieges, and a new form of necromancy! Gugel believed that Karthhas and his powerful Lich King could indeed do this, after entering the Far North Savage Lands, the undead army chose to infiltrate secretly in order to avoid a direct confrontation with the Ogg barbarians, and the scourge legion that had destroyed several Ogue barbarian tribes so far had devoured the lives of nearly 700,000 Ogg barbarians, and each time this army had a new leap in both quantity and quality, more and more abomination trolls appeared in the army to replace the slow zombies, and the equipment of the skeleton soldiers was good or bad but almost to the extent that it was one by one, and the violent beasts of the Oug barbarians became the new force of the legion, and the sorcerer has taken on the duties of a necromancer and acolyte.
Until now, Gugel doesn't understand that those savage magic messengers learned the basic necromancy of the Scourge Legion almost without a teacher after being transformed into undead, and from the original ignorance to experienced mages and acolytes to create more war machines for the Scourge Legion, how did Arthas, the Lich King, do it, and what kind of spell can make these savage creatures skip the intermediate learning link, and almost leap into the sky to become a one-sided existence!
Under this crazy devouring expansion, except for the most powerful death knight in the Scourge Legion, there has been no substantial increase, and the rest of the troops have become more and more powerful over time, and now the Oger barbarians finally found themselves attacked before they rushed to gather an army, but now the undead army has grown to the strength of enough to wrestle with it, if the next Oger barbarian army can be defeated, then this Far North Wilderness will completely become a hunting ground for the undead!
"But I want to...... We're also reaching our limits. ”
"What!?"
A smile more embarrassing than crying appeared on Gugel's dry face: "Demon ~ Lord Kartha!"
"Demon!?what demon~" Karthas was obviously still a little unsure of what this sentence meant.
"Legend has it that the Ogue barbarians were chosen by demons from hell to wreak havoc on the main material plane a long time ago, and the techniques mastered by their sorcery messengers to create violent beasts are also said to have originated from the demon's gift, and we have killed too many Ogue barbarians now, and the negative feelings around us are already very strong, I think it won't be long before the master behind this barbarian race will appear. ”
Karthas said disdainfully, "It would be great if that was the case, the last time there was a pathetic demon who made a big fuss in front of His Majesty, and you know what happened to him?"
"What the hell is ......?"
Before Gugel could finish his question, a black flame rose into the sky in the center of the Oger barbarian army. (To be continued.) )
