Chapter 537: The dynamics of the forces of the parties

Necromancer: "Quick, make these grains into bread, we must bake enough bread for the entire town before dawn, the fate of the Scourge is in our hands!" ”

The necromancer yelled at the zombie servants who were busy below, and the zombies trembled as they poured grain into the millstone, pushing the mill to grind the wheat into flour.

A group of skeletons struggled to pull the bellows and bake the flour into bread.

Fortunately, because it is a game, the whole baking process does not need to be fully reflected, but in a few seconds, the bread with a slightly musty smell in the wheat aroma is baked.

The Dark Sage picked up a loaf of bread and looked at it.

【Suspicious Bread (Food/Quest Item)

Eat: Restores 100 HP over 20 seconds and adds an unknown magic status to you (this effect only works on humanoids)

Description: A piece of freshly baked bread is still warm and crispy, and it seems that due to the ingredients and cooking techniques, the smell of the bread has a suspicious musty smell, but it is still a rare delicacy for those farmers who are hungry. 】

Yes, this is the thing.

The Dark Sage counted the finished products, and in the middle of the night, thousands had already been made.

That's enough to turn half the town's civilians into undead.

A skeleton soldier Caracalla approached.

Bone Aotian (Skeleton Soldier): "I said boss, that's all for tonight, can we do it tomorrow, it's been busy in the middle of the night, and my mother sent me a message again to tell me to go to bed quickly." ”

Dark Sage (Necromancer): "Shut up, hurry up and get to work, don't go offline first if you're not busy today, or be careful I'll tear your bones apart and feed them to the dogs." ”

Several zombie skeletons can only reluctantly continue to be busy, who let them play with free templates, and want to join the Scourge Legion, so they can only start from the lowest-level zombies and skeletons, and even a ghoul can only turn after advancing.

Fortunately, now is the time of the Gathering of Storms, as long as the civilians of this town are transformed into undead, it is necessary to mix it with a few hundred plot points, and then advance to a skeleton warrior, abomination, and corpse witch to play.

With the dream of a promotion and a salary increase, a group of skeleton zombies picked up a pile of wheat and got busy.

The Dark Sage nodded in satisfaction and tightened his black robes, startling him with a whining sound from the haunted mill as a gust of wind blew.

He looked at the leaky roof with some trepidation, and the flickering ghost fire reflected the haunted mill in a miserable green, which made people shudder.

The Dark Sage said in his heart that this necromancer was really not played by people, it was so scary, it was like a horror movie.

Although he wanted to join the Scourge Legion before, he thought the necromancer was cool and dazzling, but it wasn't until he played it that he found that the painting style of the Scourge Legion was really very underworld, and the imaginary Gothic dark wind couldn't be seen at all, dealing with some skeleton zombies all day long, and staying with these guys with maggots on the bone frame for a long time, I'm afraid I would have to get depression.

But there's no way.,The money to buy this little boss template is already half of his savings.,Gritting his teeth, he has to continue playing.。

It's good to go back and wait for the plot events to end and quickly advance to become a lich, and then you will be dealing with high-end undead such as Death Knight and Dark Ranger, so you don't have to look at these disgusting guys in front of you.

I'm thinking about it, bang, bang! There was a loud knock on the door.

The huge impact made the Haunted Mill crumble.

"Whoβ€”who's out there?"

"Open the door, the Holy Light Church will check the undead."

Dry! The Dark Sage suddenly secretly screamed that it was not good, how could he still be found out if he was so careful, he was obviously very careful.

A zombie who was working showed an apologetic expression, sorry man, who made Godwin willing to throw money, as long as he leaked an undead stronghold, he would give 1000 yuan, and it would be good to earn some extra money as a free model player.

Rumble! The door of the Haunted Mill was slammed open, and a group of paladins full of buffs led the charge, followed by a group of apprentice priests and adventurers, and several skeletons guarding the door were instantly split into pieces.

When a group of probationary priests entered the door, a few rounds of holy light came through, and a few ghosts were missed.

The adventurers even slashed wildly at the zombie skeletons, and the undead brother prepared by the Dark Sage in advance was half killed in an instant.

The dark sage was angry for a while, it's over, it's over, it's over, Lao Tzu's money!

But it's too late to leave, so I can only fight.

"My minions, give it to me!"

While shouting in a hoarse voice, he unleashed his strongest magic.

Negative energy blast!

A cloud of dark energy silently bloomed through the crowd, and those adventurers felt a chill all over their bodies, and their skin became withered and decayed.

But this force was immediately dissipated by the priest's dissipation.

Blight Ray!

Spear of Bones!

"Give it to me, little ones!"

The Dark Seer wanted to continue the fight, but it was obvious that a mere necromancer could not be the match of a group of paladins, and he was cut down to the ground in three or two clicks.

After killing all the zombie minions in the Haunted Mill, the paladins picked up the bread that had been baked and looked at it, and when they illuminated it with holy light, the bread immediately emitted a burst of black smoke.

"These breads have indeed been inflicted with evil necromancy, but fortunately, His Majesty the King had the foresight to burn them all down, leaving not a single one behind."

Soon the fire ignited the haunted mill and resolved a crisis invisibly.

Over the course of a few days, such a scene could be seen everywhere in Lordaeron, and the members of the Cursed Sect hidden in the kingdom of Lordaeron were constantly found and eliminated.

I have to say that the Golden Tree has brought Lordaeron a great buff effect, almost every town has its own priest, paladin purification team, such a configuration was unimaginable in the past, in the past, the holy light was not a cat and a dog can cultivate.

It is very rare to have a pious heart and a strong faith, but for Lordaeron now, there is no pressure to assemble a team of Light Purifiers.

After all, everyone under the Golden Tree is a believer in the Holy Light.

However, other human kingdoms that are not covered by the golden tree are not treated so well, in just three days, there have been dozens of undead plague incidents, and the favorite way for members of the cursed sect to use is to add natural plague to their food, so that the citizens who eat it will be infected with the plague.

Becomes undead after a certain period of time.

Due to the social structure of the allied human countries, which resembled medieval Europe, ordinary farmers could not bake their own bread, but could only exchange wheat for flour from the miller, who baked the bread together.

Therefore, it is easy to be secretly attacked by members of the Cursed Sect, leading to a large-scale outbreak of the undead plague.

There's even an entire town infected with the undead.

Coupled with the monster riots in the borders of various countries, the nobles of various countries can be said to be anxious.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

You can't see me (the thief): "Lady Gianna, there is the town of Rudy ahead, which is now occupied by the undead, I have just returned from the town, the mayor and the last survivors are hiding in the church, and someone desperately needs to rescue them. ”

Gianna glanced at the death-filled town below the mountain, "Didn't the king send someone to help?" ”

Ed (militia leader): "There is no rescue, the king is busy fighting with the gnolls, I heard that more than a dozen gnolll clans in the vicinity have all gathered, under the leadership of a gnolll overlord called 'Hogtha II', and captured the city of Fran, the king has gathered all the troops of the kingdom in order to recover the city, and he has no time to pay attention to us." ”

Gianna pondered for a moment, then looked at her companion with a resolute gaze, "Arthas, Thrall, I decided to rescue the surviving townspeople, every survivor is precious in this time of crisis, what do you think?" ”

Arthas nodded, "Of course, but the three of us are not enough, we have too few men, I suggest gathering as many militias as possible from the surrounding towns and waiting until dawn to attack." ”

Thrall agreed, "That's right, maybe you can recruit some adventurers, I have dealt with adventurers before, and although those adventurers are insatiable, they are indeed very brave in battle." ”

"Okay, let's do it, without further ado, let's do it immediately."

Gianna finished speaking, looking at the town in the distance.

Although it may not seem as powerful to deal with a group of necromancers compared to dragon slaying, being able to save innocent civilians is what Gianna feels is what it means to be a mage.

Worship the Dragons - see the Tower of the Dragon

The five mysterious people walked slowly through the desolate meadow, looking preoccupied.

The dragon worshippers who were wandering around saw the five, but they didn't mean to stop them at all.

"Do you really want to do that?" A woman at the front of the walk suddenly asked.

"Of course, this is what we have discussed, isn't it, and this is the only way to combine the five of our forces into one."

As they spoke, the five of them had already arrived at the gate of the tower.

Griffith, dressed in the robes of the Sect Master and wearing a crown of dragon horns, was already waiting at the door.

Griffith (Archbishop of the Cult): "Ah, it is the great Majesty Alexstasa who has arrived, and this must be Morpheus, the King of the Black Dragons, Calrigos, Nozdom, and the beautiful Lady Ysera.

It really makes me feel honored that the five dragon kings came to my remote island together, what made a few of them find here. ”

Morpheus (Black Dragon King): "We have a job for you, and as far as I know, you helped the Storm Dragon King spread the Storm Demon Dragon faith, right?" ”

"Ah, I don't know anything about it, maybe it's the work of some self-appointed priest, you know that the dragon cult worships all the great dragon kings......"

Ysera (Queen of the Green Dragon): "No need to explain Griffith, we are not here to rejuvenate the master, in fact, we need you to do the same, the guardian dragon has always been beyond the world, but now, we also need a little mortal faith. ”

Griffith was a little surprised, the guardian dragon mastered this guardian power, this thing itself is the power of the law, equivalent to another form of divine power, and it is a very high-end kind.

But I don't know why I suddenly want to engage in the power of faith.

However, he still nodded, "Of course there is no problem, so which adult's faith is going to be spread?" ”

Morpheus smiled slightly: "All! ”

"All?" Griffith looked surprised.

Morpheus nodded, "That's right, all, now that the entire Eastern Continent is in chaos, everyone is in danger, it is a good time to spread the faith, our five dragon kings have the power of different realms, it is better to spread it to mortals than the power of the Storm Demon Dragon." ”

Griffith nodded, "That's true, but you don't have to be powerful to make mortals believe in you, you have to respond adequately to mortals' prayers." ”

"Don't worry, there's no problem with this."

"Then I will gather the priests."

Morpheus suddenly said, "By the way, there is one more thing, we want to learn how to become a priest together, this is no problem, right?" ”

Become a priest? Griffith looked at Morpheus speechless for a while, and said in his heart What kind of tricks are these people going to do, do I believe myself?

But he had no reason to refuse, miracles were not divine and did not require absolute piety.

"Absolutely."

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Time passed day by day, the chaos in the eastern continent did not decrease in the slightest, monsters launched riots one after another, the plague of the undead raged, Godwin saw this scene and could only shrink his forces, first ensure the safety of Lordaeron's territory, and at the same time gather troops to prepare for the arrival of the Scourge Legion.

He is still very confident, Lordaeron has hundreds of thousands of troops, and with the protection of the Golden Tree, and the assistance of the Holy Light Church, if the Scourge Legion dares to attack, then they will definitely have a home advantage.

Godwin speculated that the Scourge would most likely start with Quel'Thalas, but to everyone's surprise, at noon on the seventh day, when the countdown ended, there was some shocking news from Minahir Harbor that the Scourge had landed on the beach in the wetlands.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The wetland's long coastline has long been a paradise for fishmen, with countless rivers and swamps that are perfect for the activities of amphibians like fishmen.

There's even a fish-man kingdom hidden in the depths of the ocean.

However, now it is frozen in frost, and the wide sea is covered with a thick layer of snow and ice, and the biting chill makes the fish-people flee in a hurry.

Countless armies of the undead marched across the barren ground towards the depths of the swamps of the wetlands.

Swamps, shrubs, grasses, trees, everything was sunk into a withered and corrupted form under the influence of the undead.

This is the Rotten Land of the Dead.

When the Scourge marches, they will leave behind an undead rot covered in the power of death, and all undead creatures will gain a 10% all-stat buff and a 100% health regeneration rate when fighting on the undead rot.

All life units are subject to a constant wave of negative energy.

Similar to the glorious blessings bestowed upon the Golden Tree, the Lich King is also infusing his death magic into the lands he passes through.

At this moment, Gul'dan was riding Bollelius and was slowly flying over the land.

Even after a long time, you can still see the traces left by the war between the Alliance and the Horde here.

The evil storm summoned by the Storm Dragon King still polluted the land, leaving behind a cursed wilderness raging with strong winds.

Countless war dead have left behind many famous and unknown cemeteries.

At this moment, Gul'dan landed in front of the largest cemetery.
