Chapter 368: A Gift from the Scourge!
In the main hall of the Holy Capital, the Holy Maiden Flora read an urgent letter with a solemn expression, and the god of the earth among the five supreme gods suddenly issued an oracle last night, and this morning the kingdom of Ballaika sent an incredible urgent message, and tens of thousands of undead armies suddenly appeared from the mountains to the south and directly attacked the border post and a town.
Now that the Kingdom of Baleka is now in a state of emergency, a large city closest to the army of the undead in the south has been mobilized militarily and has begun to build a large number of fortifications, but there are not many soldiers stationed in the city, and reinforcements from nearby territories take four days to arrive, so it is not known whether it can be supported by the attack of the undead.
"After the Demon ┉┉Is it an undead again?"
Flora rubbed her temples with a headache, this time just dealing with the matter of the demon attack had already made the old saint very tired, just after exterminating the demon, and then I don't know where a group of undead appeared, or an army of tens of thousands of undead! God knows where these dead were hiding before, and they would suddenly appear in the territory of the Ballaika Kingdom.
"The timing of the appearance of the undead is too intriguing, could it be that it was also sent by the demons in the abyss. ”
The old female orc wearing a yellow-brown sacrificial robe in the main hall of the holy capital asked with a cane, although she looked equally old, but the eyes of the female orc shone with a light that did not match her age, compared to the orc with a more bold personality, the temperament of the female orc gave people a sense of calmness that was as immovable as a mountain, just like the eternal earth.
"High Priest Matiam. The Lord of Death is dead, and there is no sign of a new Lord of Death in the Abyss until now. Flora shook her head and said, the orc in front of her Matthiam was the priest of Uznok, the god of the earth.
"That's right~ Really, I'm getting older and my memory isn't as good as it used to be. ”
"Does the god of the earth have an oracle that can point out who planned this undead attack? "It is imperative for Saint Flora to destroy this army of the undead first, their killing will create a large number of meeting points and give the power of the abyssal to the already besieged and suppressed Masters of Pain, who has sent more demons into the world.
Faced with this question, the orc chief priest looked very confused: "Unfortunately, the oracle of my god does not specify exactly who planned this attack, but my god pointed out in the oracle that behind the control of the army of the undead is a strange being, which has some ability to shield the perception of divine power, and my god cannot accurately predict information about it." ”
Shielding the divine power perception of the gods?Flora couldn't help but be very surprised, she was able to shield the power of the gods. Could it be that the other party is also a god?
"In this oracle, our god has given us an accurate message. That is, in any case, destroy this army of the undead and the manipulators behind them, or these undead will cause even more terrible damage than demons. At the end of the sentence, High Priest Mattiam's eyes flashed with determination.
The Holy Capital to the west is rapidly functioning, and the mission to exterminate the remnants of the Pain Domination continues, as well as to assist the kingdom of Balleka in its defense against the undead. The Holy Capital mobilized the countries of the western part of the continent to provide military material support to the Kingdom of Baleka. At the same time, at the private instruction of the Holy Virgin Flora, a member of the Blue Dragon Clan also quietly rushed to the front line of the battle. One is to assist the defenders in destroying the undead, and the other is to collect as much information as possible about this undead army.
In the city of Granada, in Balleca, the city at the forefront of the confrontation with the army of the dead is on high alert. Not far away, on the plain, the undead with the blue soul fire shining in the bones were entrenched like a spreading plague, and a large number of siege equipment was assembled, and as time went by, the number of undead increased, and the soldiers and civilians in the city became more and more nervous day by day.
The city of Granada is not a fortress city built specifically for war, its walls are not high and there are not too many city defense equipment, even if all the craftsmen in the city are mobilized to rush to work, they can only complete the construction of some large military equipment, and all the middle-aged men in the city regardless of race and age have been mobilized to form a militia, no one is dissatisfied and no one escapes, because everyone knows that when these undead break the city, they will kill any living person, and the undead do not need traitors, no emotion and no mercy, Even in the face of the elderly, weak, women and children, they will never show mercy.
Countless devout believers in the temple in the city were praying, most of them were townspeople who had just fled from the town, and everyone witnessed a miracle on the way to escape, and when the army of the undead overwhelmed the fleeing procession, when the feelings of despair had risen in everyone's hearts, the earth suddenly roared and shook! The ground for hundreds of miles collapsed and buried countless undead, and a bottomless chasm formed completely blocked the progress of the undead!
This is a miracle of Uznok, the god of the earth!
At that moment, the priest of the god of the earth chanted the name of the god of the earth with tears streaming down his face, and the townspeople who had escaped from death wept with joy and prayed to the gods with great devotion!
The general in charge of defending the city in the command room in the center of the city observes the undead army outside the city through detection magic, these undead armies have a considerable formation and are very close, obviously the one who controls them behind them is definitely a battle-hardened general, from the number of the undead army is at least seventy or eighty thousand, although most of them seem to be some low-level undead with tattered weapons and armor, but the undead characteristics of the undead make them very advantageous in the face of ordinary soldiers, and the most troublesome is the undead creatures that wander back and forth in the sky, once the war starts, these undead creatures that can fly will definitely cause great chaos to the defenders。
"When will the support arrive?"
"Two days to go, Your Excellency!"
Hearing the adjutant's answer, the general, who was already in his thirties, nodded, and these undead had been cutting down forests outside the city to build siege equipment for two days after arriving. It would be nice if the bones of the group could continue to be cultivated, as long as they waited for two days to join the additional troops of the royal capital, it would be very simple to defend the city at that time, and maybe they could take this opportunity to carry out a counterattack and destroy this undead army in one fell swoop.
"Your Excellency, I have built a harassing attack on the army of the undead first, and the destruction of their siege equipment as much as possible has delayed their siege time. ”
"That's what I mean, too. ”
The adjutant's construction is also what the general thinks, but the two of them don't know that the army of the undead under the city in front of them is completely a disguise, and the main force of the real army of the undead is bypassing the city and marching along the upper reaches of the river, unlike the undead who are responsible for the siege, this army of the undead is equipped with brand new armor and weapons, and the soul fire on their bodies is even more vigorous, and there are dozens of huge monsters in the marching army. In the center of the procession, a keletal carriage was guarded, and a large vat of green liquid with a strange smell was being installed in it.
When arriving at the source of the upper reaches of the river, the nearby trees, flowers and plants and a qiē life were quickly withered under the breath of death, the beast carefully moved down the carriage loaded with a large number of barrels of natural plague, after an order from Arthas, the green natural plague was tilted into the clean river, and suddenly the creatures in the river jumped out of the water as if frightened, some of the large aquatic creatures climbed up the river beach in a hurry and convulsed and fell to the ground, but soon a qiē returned to calm and fell to the ground The creatures that fell to the ground stood up again, and the fish in the river began to ooze unclean green glow。
"Very well! Inform Thornwald that in two days the city has been taken over in the name of the Scourge Legion!"
"Hehe~ obey Your Majesty's orders!" Karthas watched as the deadly plague-stricken river began to flow through the entire kingdom of Balleka, and the translucent lich shuddered with sickly excitement at the thought of the 'beautiful' scene that the country was about to face in the near future.
Arthas is not particularly excited, this is just the beginning, the plague of natural disasters is only a small area to spread, it will take a lot of time and manpower and material resources to purify the whole world, the army of the undead is constantly pulling out from the base established in the swamp, the total number has reached 200,000, but now there are only three people who can be the commander, one is himself, the other two are the 'good war' Sanerwald and the 'pious' Karthas!
The Scourge needs a backbone, such as Death Knights, Necromancers, Abominations, Frost Dragons, and Grave Trolls! Without the support of these backbones, the world cannot be purified by low-level undead who have no mind.
Mortals may be vulnerable, but gods┉┉
Arthas couldn't help but squint his eyes and think back to the land that suddenly collapsed not long ago and blocked the pursuit of the Scourge Legion, this is the so-called power of the gods! Arthas had to admit that the main enemy that the Scourge Legion will face in the future is just as Arin said, from powerful beings outside the world, dragons, demons and gods!
"No one can stop death!
Pinching the Frost Grief, Arthas pulled the reins and rode the skeleton horse backwards, the plague spreadAfter taking the first city, the army of the undead will receive a lot of high-quality materials, the death knights will be formed as soon as possible, and then it is time to spread the entire shadow of death to this continent. (To be continued......)
