Chapter 153: The Awakening of the Evil Dragon
The sky of the battlefield darkened, and an eerie atmosphere hung over the air, and the huge dead mammoth shook violently as if it had magical power. Between the purple smoke and the eerie glow, a huge Slaanesh sigil began to rise slowly from the corpse of the giant elephant, with an indescribably eerie appearance.
"Is this the magic of the undead and vampires? Are there necromancers in the Chaos Army? Is there such a thing as a Chaos Undead?"
Hyde couldn't help but muttered to himself, everything in front of him was very much like the necromancy that Marshall and Loren Sr. had mentioned. It is said that this is the specialty of vampires, who can turn corpses into evil undead creatures, polluting and destroying everything in their path. But Hyde clearly remembered that Loren Sr. had said that there were no necromancers in the Chaos Army, and that the ugly realm of vampires had been pacified by Emperor Julian's army for more than 200 years. What will be this scene today?
"It's not necromancy, and it doesn't have anything to do with vampires. I've killed several necromancers in Steelland and Sylvania, and I've been involved in the Imperial Inquisition's hunt for wandering vampires, so I'm well aware of the differences. ”
Fischer's voice was calm, but the atmosphere was tense. The high-ranking raven knight in the skull mask briefly explained everything to Hyde as he solemnly unwound his yew longbow trimmed with Mithril relief. The purple-black roses and sickles of Mor's Seal rose spectacularly behind him, a stark contrast to the mountain of wriggling corpses in the distance.
"The enemy in front of him didn't have any aura of undead magic, but the aura of chaos was unusually strong. As far as I can see, this is supposed to be a ritual of sacrifice and devouring of mutated creatures of Chaos, and I'm afraid some monsters are going to pop up. But anyway, let him taste my arrows with all my might!"
The holy seal of Death's Mor spread magnificently behind Fischer's back, like cold wings that devoured everything. Under the huge murderous aura, the knights all subconsciously retreated to both sides, only Hyde and Old Loren were still on the side of the raven knight. Moore's breath was indescribable, like the deepest darkness of a winter night, and Hyde's warhorse snorted uneasily, and the horse seemed to be afraid.
"Lord Fischer, give it your all. Your Excellency Hyde and I will protect you, so you don't have to worry about any loopholes. ”
Old Loren swung his massive six-foot blood sword, his voice like solidified steel. The old knight in red armor seemed to see Fischer's heart, and his majestic fighting spirit was like a burning fire.
"Yes, I have also expanded my realm of perception, Lord Fischer, you can rest assured. ”
Hyde also took a step forward and raised his sword in reassurance. He closed his eyes slightly, his mind searching for the suspicious aura of everything around him like a net.
Baron Fischer didn't speak, just cast a look of trust. The tremendous force of death had enveloped almost his entire body, casting his grim face in an eerie color of purple and black. Dense green tendons erupted on his forehead, and his armor made a small sound from the expansion of muscles, and the powerful black-armored knight had pushed his strength to the extreme, it was terrifying and surprising power, and Hyde could feel the tremendous oppression from five steps away.
"The corpse of the Chaos Mammoth seems to have a lot of mouths! He's devouring the corpses around it! Ah, do you see the tentacles? It turns out that the corpse was pulled by its tentacles!"
Catherine shouted loudly, and she stood on the roof of a carriage in the phalanx, holding a telescope of brass tubes to observe the strange mountain of corpses in the distance. When she had reached her conclusion, she sat down and handed the binoculars to Tenan, who was standing by the carriage on horseback, with a look of surprise and excitement on her face. When the girl joined Tubaro's phalanx, and found that they had suffered few casualties, and that many of the gunners in the Chinese positions had fled in the confusion, the delicate princess was quickly relieved of her grief. Now, reinvigorated, she sat on the roof of the baggage carriage.
"I felt a feeling, it was the smell of the Chaos Dragon. I've seen such things in the far north, and they're terrifying, they're indescribable nightmares!"
Tenan's voice suddenly became extremely heavy, and a huge force and murderous aura erupted violently from the majestic body of this barbarian warrior, and even the bone joints made a clicking sound. Instead of taking the telescope that Catherine had handed him, he raised his fine hammer axe, and his eyes burned like fire.
The sky was rapidly darkening, and billowing clouds were gathering and pushing, pushing the horizon very low. The dust and smoke on the battlefield quickly dissipated in the wind, and people's hearts became very heavy. The positions of the entire Imperial Coalition were silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the mountain of corpses in the distance and the Raven Knight in the distance. The power of Chaos and the power of Moore seem to form two invisible peaks in a confrontation, and the fluctuations of the magic power of the god of death and the magic power of the god of chaos are superimposed in the atmosphere, colliding, as if it only takes one spark to burn.
But the silence was broken by a shrill scream and a fiery serpent that rushed into the air, and the Chaos Cavalry in the distance returned! As if sensing the power in the mountain of corpses, the once collapsed followers of Slaanesh quickly picked themselves up, raised their swords and spears again, drew their horned bows, and surged across the horizon like a tidal wave. Terror banners adorned with skeletons and claws whistled above their heads, like the roar of monsters. And the strange mountain of corpses also made the same strange sound, as if it was in response.
"Pit Viper Cannon, shoot!"
The phalanx commander Jerome couldn't bear it any longer, and he waved his command flag and ordered the phalanx's direct artillery to launch an artillery attack on the mountain of corpses that was fluctuating wildly. Although he only had two or three small pit viper cannons firing two-pound shells, it was enough to hit that huge target at a distance of about three hundred meters. The deputy commander of the wing, Fischer, continued for too long, which made the fat Tubaro officer very anxious.
But the moment he ordered the shelling, a brilliant purple lightning burst out from among the wriggling mountains of flesh. The light was so bright, almost like a new sun had risen, and a humanoid figure could be faintly seen vibrating violently under the skin of the mammoth corpse, as if it was about to burst out, like a bird with a broken shell. The gunners were stunned by this astonishing scene, and for a moment forgot to light the fire.
"Such a huge chaotic force, much greater than Teagal's! Is it a slaanesh Chosen One! So this guy is using the body of a mammoth to perform a transformation ritual with the corpses around him? I see!"
Hyde suddenly remembered the night of the bloody battle at the station, and remembered the moment when Tigger was transformed. He remembered that the arrogant Knight of the Chosen One, after being defeated by himself, had transformed himself by devouring several of the Kugan Guards and his beautiful Chaos Handmaidens around him. After the transformation, Tiggal is already very powerful, but now the enemy is transformed with the flesh and blood of a whole Chaos Mammoth, what kind of powerful existence will this be?
But as he thought, the rattle of the bowstring pierced the air. The huge Mor Sacred Seal, which was more than ten feet long, dissipated like lightning at this sound, and was replaced by a black electric light! Fischer seemed to have fused all of his holy power into this all-shattering arrow, shooting at the enemy hidden in the mammoth corpse at incredible speed.
The black electric light crossed the battlefield like a sword that pierced the heavens and the earth, and the sharp arrows swirled and made a shocking sound, and the chaotic mountain of corpses trembled violently under the power of this arrow, as if it felt the murderous aura and terror! Almost at the same time, the pit viper cannons on both sides of the phalanx also rang out, and the blazing lead bullets pounced on the huge target one after another, stirring up a boiling cloud of dust and smoke.
With a moment of silence, a huge black rose and sickle crossed magnificent coat of arms burst out on the mountain of terrifying corpses, purple and black smoke rose horribly, and a terrible roar resounded through the sky, almost tearing people's eardrums. The coat of arms flickered, but the smoke rose endlessly, pointing straight to the sky like solid.
"Has the enemy been destroyed?"
Many soldiers were nervously talking to themselves, and the palms of their spears and muskets were sweating, and the scene just now was too astonishing, His Excellency the Deputy Commander of the Wing had such strength! Has the enemy in the mountain of corpses been destroyed? Is that huge scream his dying wail? Of course, the most important question is, what is it?
The chaotic cavalry also stopped, and they gathered about fifty or sixty meters away from the huge pillar of smoke, waiting nervously. No one dared to move forward anymore, and a strange pressure squeezed the hearts of these Salisians and made them feel strange. Because the feeling in that pillar of smoke is not only the feeling of Slaanesh, nor is it just the feeling of the false god of the south, there seems to be an indescribable beast lurking in that pillar of smoke, which makes the fanatical believers of Slaanesh feel fear in the bottom of their hearts.
"You say...... Lord Analel is in the carcass of the mammoth? You're not kidding, are you? Why would our noble lord do that?"
Mosul, the five-hundred-man horseman, looked at the rising pillar of smoke in front of him suspiciously, and asked the thin old wizard beside him his question. In fact, the five-hundred-man commander with a lot of eyes was about to lead the team to escape, but it was the old wizard's urging and the sudden appearance of the three Chaos War Servants that allowed the disgruntled Chaos Knight to lead the team back again.
"You will soon see why our great master did this! You will witness the birth of history! That is the moment when our great master will be reborn in glory! Under the test of countless deaths, the blood of the demon dragon has awakened, because our master has the blood of the chaos demon dragon!"
The voice of the old wizard Essar was full of excitement, and his eyes burned with indescribable fire. As if to verify all this, a large winged figure gradually rose majestically from the pillar of smoke. His terrible roar resounded through the air, with an air of ecstasy. The great Seal of Slaanesh and many strange blue runes swirled around the half-human, half-beast giant, like a flock of birds surrounding the dragon.
