Urbis died. He was not killed by Zhang Xiaoman's attack, but was killed by the god in the sky.
At the last moment of his life, the orc king suddenly showed an extremely painful expression.
The mark on his forehead shines with dazzling light. Just like Ogtanlon before, his life essence was dedicated to the being in the sky through the prismatic mark.
However, due to the previous necromancy spell, Urbis did not have much power left in his body. This sacrifice only lasted for a few seconds and ended.
As if angered by such a rare life essence, a dazzling brilliance suddenly appeared in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, as everyone watched in shock, the hundreds of thousands of orcs who were fighting the undead army suddenly stopped their movements.
They seemed to have regained consciousness at this time, and the expressions on their faces were confused for a while, and then turned into boundless pain.
The marks on the foreheads of all the orc warriors became more dazzling, and their vitality was also draining rapidly.
The God of Light actually sacrificed nearly a million orcs in one go in this way!
In twenty seconds, less than twenty seconds, all the orc warriors had completely lost their vitality and collapsed on the ground. The entire battlefield became silent for a while.
"He...did...?"
When McAvey saw this scene, his hands couldn't help but began to tremble slightly.
Killing a million troops at the same time with one blow was such a shocking scene that people couldn't help but feel chilled after watching it.
"The orcs have that mark on their foreheads. He must have absorbed their life force through some special method."
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the fallen corpses and analyzed:
"These orcs accepted the power of Lulabada, but at the same time their lives were controlled in the hands of the other party. This is really a huge price."
"Perhaps, the God of Light had no intention of letting them go from the beginning. What he needs is the essence of life. No matter whether Urbis succeeds or not, he will inevitably die in the end. The same goes for these orc warriors..."
By this time, everyone had already realized how the god enshrined in the Church of Light by the human race, the God of Light who claimed to represent all holy light and hope, thought that there was an evil existence.
"We...what exactly are we in their eyes..."
Arcatus murmured to himself, looking at the orcs who fell to the ground with an expression of disbelief and confusion.
By this time, everyone no longer felt any joy from victory, because their war was simply meaningless.
Just like some humans like to put two domestic animals in the same cage and watch them fight each other.
When the fighting is over, no matter which side they are, they will not be able to escape the fate of being made into delicious food.
There is no winner in this war.
Zhang Xiaoman was just silent for a moment, and then quickly recovered.
In fact, he doesn't have much empathy for the situation of these people. After all, he is not a native of this world and cannot feel the despair from their perspective.
Moreover, unlike McCarvey and others, he already had some guesses about the truth of the world and was already mentally prepared.
Zhang Xiaoman did not immediately tell the so-called truth. On the one hand, he had no way to confirm the authenticity of this speculation.
On the other hand, he was afraid that if he said it like this, these people might not accept it so easily.
Putting aside these thoughts in his mind, he slowly came to Urbis's body, intending to resurrect him as an undead warrior through necromancy.
Based on the opponent's strength, he should be able to retain a high level of sanity after resurrection, just like Alculus.
At that time, I and others will naturally be able to know through the other party what they have experienced.
What Urbis said before his death still leaves people speculating a lot.
"If you knew my fear, you would be able to understand my pain..."
Zhang Xiaoman gently repeated the other party's words, thinking secretly in his heart, what kind of fear could make him make such a choice.
"Is it possible that this orc king actually knows the truth? If this is the case, it is not unreasonable..."
Zhang Xiaoman felt that things might indeed be what he guessed. Urbis made that choice precisely because he knew the truth about the world.
Of course, no matter how confident a guess is, it is not as accurate as practice. He quickly constructed a model of the necromancy spell and cast it on Urbis's body.
Others also saw this scene, and no one stopped him. Everyone was waiting for him to resurrect the body. After all, they also wanted to know what Urbis had gone through before he chose to betray himself and others.
As the icy blue light gradually disappeared into Urbis' body, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Time passed slowly, but Urbis's body did not change at all.
Zhang Xiaoman frowned, and he felt something different.
"He seems... to have become rotten..."
In the team, Sirna, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
Her eyes were fixed on Urbis' body, with deep doubts in her eyes.
"Decay? What does that mean?"
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the other party.
Sirna also looked at him with some confusion at this time, as if she couldn't figure out why such a powerful necromancer didn't know the word decay.
However, her personality did not allow her to ask too many questions, so she directly gave the answer.
"Corruption is a name we give to undead creatures. Generally speaking, it happens to those low-level undead without consciousness."
"Their bodies were resurrected under the control of necromancy, but this resurrection is not permanent, but takes time."
"Generally speaking, after a relatively long period of time, these undead souls will begin to decay, and their bodies will gradually lose mobility, and finally turn into a real corpse, which can never be resurrected..."
Sirna said a lot in one breath, which also attracted the attention of McAvoy and others. Everyone had never seen her say so many words at once.
The undead princess finally turned her gaze back to Urbis' body.
"I didn't feel the slightest breath of death from his body. His body has completely decayed and cannot be resurrected by necromancy."
After Zhang Xiaoman heard this, he stared at the orc's dry and stiff body, felt the same, and found that it was indeed what Sirna said.
Urbis now doesn't feel like a corpse at all, but a piece of dead wood or a rock, without any breath of life or any breath of death.
I would like to ask, how can necromancy be used to resurrect a stone?
He immediately found several more orc warriors who had died after their life essence was sucked out, and tried to resurrect them in the same way, but in the end they all failed.
"The lives sacrificed by these light marks will not be able to use necromancy to resurrect them..."
Zhang Xiaoman finally came to a conclusion.
This result disappointed everyone.
I'm afraid they won't be able to know the secret that Urbis knows for the time being.
Moreover, there are millions of orc warriors on site. If they cannot be resurrected, this means that the number of the undead army will be directly reduced by millions.
However, Zhang Xiaoman has no regrets about this. Although he developed the undead spell by accident, he has no intention of continuing to develop in this direction.
Compared to strengthening himself, he was not too interested in this kind of summoning flow and the method of resurrecting corpses.
Moreover, among the enemies that he and others are facing now, there is a guy called the God of Light.
He has felt the characteristics of that power from several attacks launched by the opponent. It has a strong "positive energy", which is a structure similar to the Holy Light.
This structure is very resistant to undead magic. Even if you resurrect more undead armies, I am afraid that they will not be able to shine with the holy light of others.
Zhang Xiaoman thought for a while and gave instructions to all the undead warriors, asking them to bury the corpses of the orc warriors on the spot, and then dig a hole himself.
Not long after, the army of millions of undead and the corpses on the ground disappeared, all buried deep underground.
It was quite unbearable to have so many corpses and undead creatures here, so Zhang Xiaoman simply chose to bury them all.
"I will repair this city wall later. With its protection and the undead soldiers, the orc army should not be able to break out of the North Wind Grassland in the future."
Zhang Xiaoman told McAvey and others his plan, which was regarded as a smooth favor.
The defeat of the orcs this time does not mean that their race is extinct. The Wall of Sighs and the undead army underground can also be regarded as providing a barrier for humans to prevent possible wars in the future.
Of course, these low-level undead have a shelf life. Maybe in a few decades, they will be completely corrupted and lose their ability to move.
But the Wall of Sighs will always stand here, becoming a powerful defense for humans against the orcs.
The battle is over, but the war has not stopped yet. What will follow will be a battle between mortals and gods.
Everyone returned to Kuhan City from the battlefield, and all the soldiers began to rest and reorganize. Zhang Xiaoman did not deliberately ask about the losses in this battle. He knew that it must be a heart-wrenching number.
However, he was not stingy when it came to helping.
Zhang Xiaoman came to the area where Guangming Church was located, where the wounded soldiers were most concentrated.
He released several large-scale healing spells here, rescuing some seriously injured people who should have died from the arms of death.
This move made his name remembered by everyone again, and now the two words "Pole Star" have become the most admired existence in the entire Kuhan City.
He used light spells to heal countless wounded soldiers, created a wall of sighs that was comparable to a miracle, single-handedly challenged the entire black dragon army, single-handedly resurrected an army of millions of undead, and fought against the entire orc tribe.
All these actions are extremely unbelievable.
These ordinary soldiers have no habit of thinking about why light spells and necromancy spells appear on a person at the same time.
They just feel grateful and remember everything the other has done.
The reputation of the name Pole Star in the minds of Alliance soldiers has rocketed from obscurity to worship.
Crowds cheering for the victory of the war can be seen everywhere in the pub and on the square.
Bards chanted the legendary experiences of Pole Star, and a large number of revised and processed stories were circulated, making every listener listen with gusto and never tire of it.
The cloud of war suddenly lifted from the top of their heads. This was undoubtedly the most exciting thing for many ordinary people who did not know the truth about the Advent Festival.
Unfortunately, the casualties caused by this war were indeed too serious. Many people had relatives and friends who died in the battle.
Everyone also lost the mood of going to the Advent Festival, and just decorated the door with some unique festive materials as a commemoration of this special day.
Zhang Xiaoman and a group of bondbreakers gathered in the temple to discuss the next action plan.
Now there is only the last day left before Advent, that is, the day after tomorrow, the horrific disaster predicted by McCarvey will befall this continent.
After experiencing so much, everyone no longer has any doubts about the predictions of this human saint magician.
The tragic situation of those orcs was vivid in their minds, and Urbis's last words before his death often echoed in their ears.
Coupled with the flames falling from the sky, these all really happened before our eyes, so naturally there was no need for controversy.
"The God of Light Lulabada has launched several sneak attacks on us, but even after the orc army was destroyed, he did not come in person..."
On the long table, Zhang Xiaoman tapped his fingers on the table and began to analyze the form of this war.
"I think the Advent Festival is very likely to be the day when these gods break through. Maybe there is some kind of power that we don't know about that binds them, or it protects us so that they can't easily go down to the realm..."
"So, Ji Xing, what you mean is... the God's Advent Festival, which occurs every three hundred years, is when the restrictions are lifted. They can come in person on this day, instead of simply launching attacks through heavenly fire..."
Arcatus asked.
Zhang Xiaoman saved his life, and the great druid's attitude towards him now turned completely around.
"Yes, I believe Lord Lecentra has already predicted this."
Zhang Xiaoman nodded in agreement.
"But, even if we are clear about this now, what can we do... The Advent Festival will arrive the day after tomorrow, and we have no way to make other preparations..."
Elf Queen Regina said worriedly.
Zhang Xiaoman glanced at her, pondered for a moment, and then said something that surprised everyone.
"Perhaps, we don't have to wait until they come to us, we can take the initiative to find them..."
