18. Humble dreams (8)
It is said that it was discovered after the battle of the "meat grinder" forty years ago, and the most popular theory in the mage world today is that after the hopeless breakthrough was hopeless, the orc chief at that time personally led the last team of Kukaron to raid the encirclement of the human coalition, which seemed to open the way for life, but in fact it was to cover up a secret ritual carried out by the Kukaron orc shamans, and those undead were the masterpieces of that ritual, because after the battle, many broken fragments of orc magic weapons were found on that battlefield, which was enough to prove the correctness of this statement.

Elivan spoke eloquently again, but this time his statement was ruthlessly denied by Ivey,
"Wrong! It's true that there are shamans in the Kukaron Guard, but in fact, when the coalition high-level decided to conduct the "meat grinder" operation, they had already regarded those shamanic guards with teleportation spells as the first wave of extermination, so it was impossible for the orc chief to lead the charge with a shaman. β
Saying this, the old man smiled mysteriously, and his already low voice became even lower.
"Let me tell you, Mr. Eleven, those undead have been around longer than you think. β
"Huh?"
Eleven's eyes narrowed when he heard this, if what Ivy said was true, then the ruins of Pakan were indeed as mysterious as he thought.
"Yes, you new generations have not experienced that war, so you don't understand how strong the most elite army of the orcs was at that time, three times the human army had the possibility of confrontation, and five times the army had the certainty of field warfare, and it was such a strong army, when facing the undead of Pakan, it could only be defeated miserably, in fact, if it wasn't for the big chief of the orcs who made the wrong move of attacking the temple as a temporary fortress, he relied on the execution of the "meat grinder" at that time The quality of those wild mages and the number of soldiers, to finally achieve such a brilliant result, it is almost an impossible task, it can be said that the reason why the northern frontier can still be preserved, in fact, we all owe those undead a great favor. β
"They... So powerful? Then why did the Great Chief attack that temple? I heard that for that finger... Well, the orcs seem to know more about those ghost places than we do?"
Elivan asked a little puzzled, and Ivey glanced at Elevenn meaningfully, and then looked down at his fingers, the young man's heart sank, and he silently curled up his fingers, it seems that this old man knows more than he imagined, but Ivey did not dwell too much on this issue, but explained directly,
"He had to make that move, although it is very likely that he will be destroyed, but once they succeed in seizing the commanding heights of the temple, then it will be the soldiers of the coalition who will pay huge casualties, and even they are very likely to rely on those undead to receive the arrival of reinforcements, don't think that the number of those undead creatures is very small, they are far more than you think, Mr. Elivan, in fact, I prefer to call it the "City of the Dead"! That ghost place, I don't want to go to it a second time in my life. β
Ivy took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, stretched out a hand and scratched in the air, gesturing a strange-looking thing,
"Do you know what this is? Mr. Elivan?"
"No, but I'm slightly impressed. β
Elevenn shook his head, although the lines drawn by Ivey could not be seen, the outline had been clearly retained in his vision, looking at the strange thing, Elavin frowned and said,
"But it looks like a tarantula or something. β
"yes, tarantula-like. β
Ivy sighed, "That's a spider demon, a ghost thing that only exists in Pakana ghost in the entire El Continent, a different kind of undead creature, doesn't it sound like it's just ordinary?" But if you're really standing in front of that thing, you'd rather fight a tiger with your bare hands than fight that, five to seven yards tall, weigh more than a ton, six spider legs, and a human or elf body, and that disgusting compound eyes and that ubiquitous aura of negative energy, oh my God, that's definitely the toughest enemy I've ever seen in my life!"
"That's what happened after going deep into the ruins of Pakan, the night of the black hole, the ruined temple stands like a ghost on the wasteland, even the moon doesn't seem to want to shine its light into this dead field, when you see it, it's full of muddy corpses, those are all warriors who died on the battlefield, but they are corrupted, manipulated by that ghost place, and become the best guardians of that temple, those things are irresistible deaths for ordinary people, but for those of us, it is not difficult to spare them, but when you carefully bypass them, the real horror comesγ β
"Cavalry! The cavalry, which is more rigorous than the hussar knights, has five hundred horsemen, turned into fifty squads, day and night in the periphery of the temple, no living can escape their pervasive detection, those black-armored knights carry terrible weapons, or dragon lances embroidered with black hideous dragon heads, or giant swords that exude green ** power, and the most terrifying are those lichs who follow the black-armored knights on patrol, lichs!! Elivan, a half-finished product of the ultimate idea of necromancy, a legendary existence, but in that temple, like the lowest-level miscellaneous soldiers, patrolling back and forth with those black-armored knights, and the blades and robes I gave to Shelfield were the trophies from that fight against the lich!"
"You killed a lich, and it sounds like you've killed a whole team of knights?"
Elivan asked with interest.
"We? no, we can't!"
Ivy sighed, and the gloom in it startled Eleven, and then he heard the old man say,
"It was the Supreme Gregory and Saruman who made a move, when we were about to be wiped out by those knights, the two leaders who followed us finally made a move, and that was also the only time I saw Saruman casting spells with all his strength in the short time I followed the Nine Towers, you can't imagine how terrible that scene is, shadows, flowing shadows everywhere, he seems to be a god who exists in the power of shadows, just a slight pinch, the unstoppable charge of those knights was interrupted by force, and when they fell into the embarrassment of being unable to act, the secret art of the Supreme Gregory- "Thor's Heavenly Punishment" fell from the sky, and in the dazzling thunder, we could only watch as the team of undead knights who had driven our team of high-level archmages to a dead end was so forcefully scattered, yes, just scattered, and then healed with a speed of recovery that makes you feel terrifying when you look at it, we can't completely destroy them, not even Saruman can't do it!"
