That night, Dendera Fortress was sleepless again.
The emergence of mutants made everyone potentially vulnerable to attack, which forced people to be wary of their own situation. However, they were unable to rest or sleep for two days and two nights, and even the heroes couldn't bear it any longer.
However, the attacks of mutated mutants did not stop with the coming of daytime. Completely different from ordinary undead, the zombies mutated by the T virus were not afraid of the sun at all. This caused the troops in the fortress to attack everywhere even at dawn. Fire, destroy those living dead who stand up again.
With people and horses exhausted, the entire Dendera Fortress can be said to be extremely low in morale at this time, and as the number of mutants becomes more and more, the smaller number of patrols can no longer cope with it. In this case, The troops of the Bradaka Kingdom had to shrink their defenses and gave up some of the outer parts of the fortress.
These outer neighborhoods have become completely dead cities, and the remaining zombies are raging in these areas...
Fortunately, just at noon, the light of the space teleportation array lit up again, and support from Aglan Fortress finally arrived!
The leader of the team was Archbishop Ellaric, who was originally staying at Aglan Fortress. Because the messenger sent out a call for priests to come to help, Ellaric could only make one trip, but because he learned that Dandela There are necromancers like Alandir in the fortress, and Elalic seems very reluctant. He came under the order of the fake Queen Isabel. Firstly, he wanted to destroy the demon, and secondly, he planned to Look at what happened to the fallen angel who was with the devil. Out of fanaticism, he believed that the Bradaka people chose to cooperate with the necromancer, which was a blasphemy against his faith.
So even though the messenger urged him repeatedly, he still delayed coming until now in the name of gathering troops.
Among the troops brought by Elalic, in addition to a team of priests and priests with a number of more than 500, there was also a team of 20 angels. Therefore, when Escher and the others came to greet them, although they were not interested in Eskel Larrick was dissatisfied with the delay, but for the sake of this army, he still suppressed his anger and greeted Ellarick with a smile.
After all, the priests of the Kingdom of Erathia practice light magic, and are unique in dealing with various dark curses and plague diseases. Now Eskel and the others have no way to deal with the evil plague that has broken out in the fortress. They can only rely on hope. These pastors.
Although he was surprised by the tragic situation of Dendera Fortress at the moment, Archbishop Ellarik quickly realized his importance. Now both the Bradaka people and the elves need to rely on them, which makes Ellarik can't help but become Deyi was angry and started to ridicule the Bradaka people during the conversation. Even the elf rangers led by Gru did not let go.
Eschar and the others have long heard of this guy's bad temper. He was very annoying when they were in the Kingdom of Erathia. Now that they have seen it with their own eyes, they want to sew this guy's mouth shut!
But they still can only endure it...
"Okay!" After finally being satisfied verbally and mentally, Elalic waved his hand and said: "Bring the infected people you caught first, I'm very busy, I have to find them after I finish them quickly. What’s the trouble with that demon!”
Escher and the others had expressionless faces and were too lazy to speak. They nodded and asked people to bring the captured zombies up.
A row of prison vans slowly drove into the square, and inside the cages were more than a dozen imprisoned zombies. These were living infected people who had finally been caught. Most of them were goblins and mage apprentices, and some When the prison van drove into the square, some infected persons of the Naga snake monster and the Archmage smelled the breath of living people. They desperately got into the gaps in the cage and tried their best to kill them with their mouths dripping with saliva. He bit into the air at everyone, but he couldn't squeeze out, so he seemed to be getting more and more manic.
Not to mention Eskel and the others, even Elalic was startled by the appearance of these zombies. At first glance, he thought they were some ghouls, but then he realized that they were not. Too same.
"Isn't it said that mutants have appeared?" Elalic asked doubtfully: "There are no specimens of mutants?"
"No, we couldn't catch anyone alive!" Eschar shook his head and said: "The terrain in the fortress is too complicated. The jumping ability of those mutants has a great advantage in this terrain, so we set a trap, and They will see through it...but don't worry, this is only temporary. Once you figure out their patterns of action, you will be able to catch them soon. Now you should try to see if you can deal with these ordinary ones first."
Elalic stopped talking nonsense and signaled to his chaplain troops, and then a row of chaplains walked up to the first few units and came to the vicinity of these prison cars.
The priests began to wave the cross necklaces in their hands and chant prayers. Soon, several rays of light fell from the sky and splashed on the zombies in the prison car. The scene looked very grand.
"What we are using now is the magic of purification!" Elalic explained with some pride: "If these guys are like this because they are cursed by evil magic, they will be exorcised immediately."
Eschar couldn't help but rolled his eyes, feeling that this guy Elalic was doing useless work. They had basically determined before that this was a plague, but this guy was still using the magic to dispel the curse... ...but it doesn't matter. These priests have a lot of magic power anyway, so it would be good to let them try one by one to see if there is any way to relieve it.
After the purification technique was used, nothing happened. The zombies in the cage still gritted their teeth and were not affected at all.
Elalic frowned, looked at Eskel's half-smiling expression, and said with some annoyance: "Just use the disease to get rid of it!"
So the priests obeyed the command and poured out the light again.
However, the result of the matter shocked everyone again. The magic to eliminate diseases still had no effect on the zombies!
When Elalic saw this scene, he immediately felt bad. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he roared: "How could this happen!? Increase the magic power and try again!"
However, the result did not change at all because of his yelling. Elalic couldn't lose face anymore, so he simply took action himself!
It has to be said that as an archbishop, Elalic's magical power is indeed much more powerful than those of ordinary priests and priests. The same disease-removing magic, used in his hands, has different effects. In the strong holy light Under the sky cover, anyone can feel the surging power within it.
However, what he didn't expect was that the zombie shrouded in his magic suddenly let out a heartbreaking scream. All the flesh and blood on his body collapsed and fell apart, including his bones. Finally, under the magic, In the light, it turned into a pile of disgusting rotten meat!
"What...what's going on!?" Elalic stared at the result he had caused in stunned silence. He could feel that the disease-removing magic had taken effect on the zombies, but the healing effect he expected did not occur. , but led to the complete death of this zombie.
Elalic didn’t know that this was actually a complete collapse of the zombie’s genes!
In fact, the magic of "disease elimination" is mainly aimed at diseases caused by external pathogenic factors. It eliminates the invading pathogenic factors from the human body and achieves the effect of recovery. This kind of magic is useful to many people. Normal illnesses are indeed useful.
It is said that zombies are also a disease caused by the invasion and infection of the T virus, but the problem is that the T virus is completely different from other viruses. It will combine with the genes in the organism, causing mutations and recombination of the genes. When the organism cannot adapt, This sudden change often turns into a terrifying monster. This is the cause of zombies. Since the virus has actually been completely integrated with the genetic factors of the organism, when the disease eradicator wants to expel the invading virus, It will inevitably cause the zombie's genes to completely collapse!
This is research on the scientific side. The magic on the mysterious side may not be able to deeply and meticulously affect the microscopic world. Elalic's magic is powerful, but he does not understand the true cause of this disease. It is caused by reckless actions. Such a result.
Therefore, when it comes to how to cure infected people, the priests' magical skills may not be of much use. Maybe they go to the prophets of the Blind Brotherhood and use the herbs prepared by the prophets to be more reliable...
Even Eskel and the others were shocked by such a result. Their original intention was to use the priests' magic to treat these former colleagues, but if this magic can only kill these infected people in the end If so, what should the pastors do? ? It's not as good as doing it themselves.
All the heroes looked gloomy and silent at this moment. Elalic could notice this even without looking back. He thought about it, gritted his teeth, and simply gave up his position, hoping that the angels would try it!
However, an angel in the angel army, wearing a hood and a white shirt, was floating in the air. Facing Elalic's eyes, he slowly shook his head and said: "The souls of these monsters have passed away long ago, and we can't even Resurrecting them, let alone saving them..."
"Damn it! Damn it! Why is this happening!?" Elalic couldn't help but lost his temper and said: "Isn't the Holy Light omnipotent!? Why is it helpless to do anything about this plague disease!?"
Seeing Elalic's loss of composure, Eschar and Gru were sarcastic and did not speak. However, the angel seemed to sense something and suddenly raised his wings and soared into the sky, slamming the angel sword in his hand. Stab into the air!
Bah! There was a slight sound, and an object was stabbed on the angel's sword, slowly appearing in the air.
That's...a devil's eye!
Although the devil's eye created by Roy came from the system, it inevitably had a slight devilish aura because of his frequent use. Eschar and the others could not sense this subtle devilish aura, but for the devil's natural enemy For the angel clan, they are very sensitive to even the slightest demonic aura, so this invisible demon eye was discovered by the angels...
The angel slowly landed on the ground, and looking at the thing on his sword that clearly looked like a demon's creation, Escher and the others' expressions suddenly became solemn.
"It seems that Alan Dier was right. All this is indeed the devil's conspiracy. He is even observing us secretly and has a panoramic view of the situation in the fortress..."
"What now?" Soram asked.
Escher pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision: "We give up the fortress! The devil didn't show up, just because he was afraid of our fortress. Now the only way is to give up the fortress and let him see it. Hopefully, he will come out and fight us... Maybe only by eliminating him can we stop this plague!"
