Chapter 378: It's Just a Temporary Victory

A few days later┉┉

The Scourge Corps accelerated the speed of attacking the city and plundering the land, or the speed of plundering the population to be precise, the Death Knights divided into five squads and attacked the towns of several nearby territories in a row, the undead did not need any food and money and were indifferent to the pleas of the living, but soon the Scourge Legion finally had to stop after plundering more than 30,000 people, and the population of the towns with low defense had all been evacuated, although a cure for the plague had not yet been found, but the plague spread by the Guò River was also cut off by the Holy Capital and the Kingdom of Balleka, not only that, but the Holy Capital also mobilized a large number of clergy to establish a quarantine areaThere had been several large-scale plagues in the western part of the continent before, and the Holy Capital, which had experience in dealing with them, acted very quickly this time, so after the initial raid was successful, the Scourge Legion could not take advantage of the loopholes.

Now in the face of the Ballaika Kingdom, which has completely shrunk its defense line and territory, any sneak attack is basically impossible for the Scourge Legion to take the initiative to attack the Kingdom Army head-on.

And in the next period of time, the Scourge Legion also tried to spread the natural plague directly on the battlefield in the same way as before, but this time the Ballaika Kingdom Army learned the previous lesson, a large number of mages arranged a large enchantment to block all the natural disasters and plagues, and when attacking, the priests of the Holy Capital cooperated to protect each soldier with divine skills to resist this unknown plague.

Without the means of sneak attack, the Scourge Legion, which only relied on low-level undead creatures and even violent beasts, won the battle with the Ballaik Kingdom with minimal losses. The mages' wide-area killing magic can destroy the undead in pieces, and thunder, fireballs, and hail rain down the battlefield. Even a small number of undead who were able to break through the fire blockade were quickly crushed by the heavy infantry who lined up in formation, and the battle was completely one-sided.

Arthas, who was observing the battle from a distance, was not surprised by the result, anyway, a small force of the Scourge was originally used to test the opponent's cannon fodder. It has to be said that organized human armies are indeed much more difficult to deal with than those strong, brutal but intellectually inferior savage creatures than fighting the Oger barbarians.

"Let's go, the Scourge can't compete head-on with it right now. Arthas said to the lich on the side, and then turned his horse's head around and slowly left, surrounded by several death knights.

"It's just temporary"

Akarthas smirked and took one last look at the battlefield situation presented in the spell projection, the living had only achieved a trivial victory, which did not change anything.

The main force of the huge Scourge Legion temporarily retreated to the ancient battlefield located in the Zedi, where there are still a large number of dead to be transformed, and a large number of facilities to be built, this time the Scourge Legion has collected a large number of fresh 'materials'. Some of the Blood Elf acolytes in Zedi are ready to make stitching monsters. A new generation of plagues of natural disasters is also rapidly improving.

However, before retreating, Arthas also left a few death knights to lead the dead cavalry to harass the kingdom of Baleka everywhere, and even Arthas authorized them to cross the border to neighboring countries with natural disasters and plagues, simply put, to keep this land from resting and maintaining a certain amount of chaos and killing. The rest is left to the demons hiding in the abyss to deal with.

After the evacuation of the Scourge army. The army of the Kingdom of Baleka has begun to sweep the battlefield. The undead don't know that even if the battle situation is already in a state of collapse, these willless bones will still raise their weapons and charge at each other until the soul fire in their bodies is completely extinguished. This characteristic has cost the encirclement and suppression of the Ballaika Kingdom Army, but the advantage is that there is no need to worry about any fish slipping through the net.

"Be careful. Don't approach until you're sure the undead are completely dead. The armored squad leader commanded his men as he intercepted one corpse after another with a spear.

On the battlefield full of corpses, the soldiers carefully inspect the remains of each fallen undead in groups of three, and once they find that there are still undead whose soul fire has not been completely extinguished, the soldiers will quickly make up for it to let these miserable souls get rid of the torture of the necromancer and get a real rest, of course, from time to time, there will be some 'pretending dead' undead spirits who will suddenly get up and wave their tattered swords when the soldiers approach.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers noticed that a skeleton with half of its broken body not far away was staggering to its feet, the soul fire in its pupils was about to be extinguished, but the skeleton in armor that was already about to be as broken as a fragment was still walking towards them with a broken axe. The soldiers immediately raised their spears and prepared to pierce his head, it had been clearly proven on the battlefield that the best way to kill these undead was to break their heads, just as the soldiers were about to make a move, a voice suddenly came.

"Stop and leave this undead behind. ”

In the blink of an eye, a middle-aged man in a blue robe had already appeared in front of the soldiers, and several soldiers looked at each other without even noticing when the other party appeared, but after the other party showed a badge, the soldiers quickly saluted and retreated to the side. That emblem represents the holy capital, and in the western part of the continent, even the king has to be courteous.

When the undead approached, the mage just waved his hand and blocked all the movements of the undead, and the skeleton soldier still maintained the posture of raising his weapon, making a clicking sound all over his body, but he remained motionless in place. Ignoring the terrifying posture of the undead, the male mage directly grabbed the skeleton's disclosure, and even pinched his fingers into the eye holes that emitted a pair of dark blue soul fires, and suddenly a look of surprise flashed in the mage's eyes, and he seemed to be not very sure and closed his eyes to concentrate on the senses.

A strange situation that has never been seen before, the soul memory of the undead itself has completely dissipated, and there is not even a trace of memory left, but it is very inexplicable that the undead itself retains part of the way of fighting in front of him, just like being deliberately eliminated by someone who has deliberately eliminated unnecessary souls and simply created a machine that only knows how to fight and kill.

"I'm looking for a few remnants of the undead, don't be busy destroying them just yet, I'm going to look into it further. The male mage gave the order while maintaining the restraint on the undead in front of him.

The soldiers who received the order quickly found several undead whose soul fire had not been completely extinguished, and the more the male mage checked at this moment, the greater the surprise in his heart, every undead was almost in the same situation, and the soul memory was completely erased, and only the fighting instinct was retained. Looking at the thousands of undead wreckage on this battlefield, the male mage took a deep breath and was full of incomprehensible confusion.

Once the life is gone, the soul will be inspired by the sea of souls, and with the passage of time, the tenacious souls will gradually break and eventually return to the sea of souls, theoretically speaking, most of the undead who have been resurrected by necromancers will lose some memories of their previous lives, and this naturally includes the skills of fighting. Sometimes the awakened undead will not blindly follow the necromancer's orders, after all, these undead also have residual obsessions from their previous lives. Some of the dead will try to return to their homes to see their loved ones, some of them will be driven by hatred to take revenge on their former enemies, and some will linger in their former abode like lost children

Sometimes the necromancer will deliberately eliminate the memories of these undead in order to ensure that the awakened undead do not betray themselves, and only let them retain the memories that are useful to them, but it is very troublesome and time-consuming to eliminate the memories of the undead, most of the time the necromancer will choose some high-level undead who have a relatively complete overall memory preservation and become a strong high-level undead after waking up to use this method, after all, low-level cannon fodder is dispensable, and there is no need to deliberately waste time. However, the few low-level undead in front of the male mage were all eliminated from the memories in front of him, and only the instinct of battle was retained, and there was no need to guess to know that the tens of thousands of low-level undead who fell here must all be in this situation.

What a joke! It would take hundreds of necromancers at least a few hundred necromancers to do the huge work of creating so many undead who have been erased from their memories, and there may be such idle necromancers who have nothing to do to do such a boring job, performing soul culling for tens of thousands of low-level undead.

The male mage was silent for a moment and checked the soul situation of the undead in front of him again, and finally the mage came to his conclusion that it should be correct, is there really a group of necromancers to do such a boring thing? Or did the necromancers on the island of the undead of Athelos find a new way to remove souls in large quantities.

"To capture these undead, I need to study them further. ”

The male mage's request made the soldiers a little embarrassed, after all, no one wanted to touch these filthy dead people, but the commander of the team leader did not have the slightest complaint or dissatisfaction after getting the situation, and ordered the execution of the male mage's order at the first time. The soldiers had no choice but to find carts and ropes to tie the remains of the undead who were still 'alive' to the cart, and the male mage was not idle, with a wave of his hand, he put one of the most burning undead with soul fire in a magic cage, and quickly flew back with this cage mage in the direction of the nearest city.

Soon the news of the victory of the Ballaika Kingdom army over the undead army was quickly spread throughout the western continent, at this time, both the Ballaika Kingdom and the Holy Capital that were invaded by the undead needed an exciting news to ease the situation, but in the Holy Capital, the Holy Daughter Flora was looking at a text with annoyance, and the Moon Priest Grant was also sitting on the side at the moment, but compared to the angry Flora, the Moon Priest was calm and relaxed and drank the black tea poured by the next Holy Daughter Finaria.

After a long time, Flora put down the letter and took a few deep breaths before finally calming down, and Finalia hurriedly helped her elderly adoptive mother to sit down.

Moon Priest Grant shook his head helplessly at this time and said to Flora: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden should make a decision, the current situation has proved that conventional means are not good at treating these tumors, and it is time to eliminate them in two." ”

Flora looked at Grant and her feelings were very complicated, but looking at the content of the letter, Flora felt a little at the moment that Grant the Moon Priest might be right┉┉ (To be continued......)
