Chapter 27 Northern Campaign (6)

The effective reinforcement of the Son of Nature resolved a fierce battle that could cause countless casualties. Both the residents of the town and the soldiers guarding the city were grateful from the bottom of their eyes and sincerely hoped that the peace would last longer. The parties involved had never shown up since they arrived and defeated the dead on the day they arrived. The druid who arrived later also gained a good reputation for the Son of Nature who lived in seclusion.

Assisting coalition soldiers to strengthen fortifications, use land-based magic to increase the yield and plant food for local residents, and build a temple that greatly improves the chance of saving lives. The arrival of the druid greatly improved Brenda's living quality. Even Mario, who has always been frank and complained, praised it. Of course, he still did not like the son of nature. There is no way. Who made Link not like the true character or the false personality he deliberately created? In addition, since the first battle, he has never left home and lived in the only tree of life in the valley all day long. Over time, people almost forgot what the son of nature looks like. However, Druid Jafar got along well with the various departments of the alliance, and even the mage group has good reputations.

The people were immersed in the long-lost stable life, but the commanders did not relax their vigilance. The training and military preparations were not stopped for a day. Everyone knew in their hearts that this "peace" was just a mirror. Once the undead found a solution, the Immortal Empire would make a comeback with a more fierce offensive than before.

"Or it's the same?" Jafar asked Link's current situation to his companions who were guarding the tree of life.

The guards in charge nodded, and his tone was full of worry: "He hasn't come down for a month."

It wasn't because he was worried about Befast's body, but it wasn't a big deal for the Son of Nature to curl up in the fortress. Although the commanders of the alliance did not mention it, they all indirectly asked about the Son of Nature's recent situation. He had never guessed the other party's thoughts. The apostle named Pillar of Earth, but his mind was as erratic as the Pillar of Wind, and he always made some amazing moves.

After several paces back and forth, Jafar made up his mind to ask clearly and took the initiative to step into the scope of the tree of life.

"Your Excellency, what are you waiting for?"

Link, who had been meditating, finally reacted. He opened his eyes and looked at the black wolf that turned into a human form, but the direction of the fortress.

"The important people are all there. The turning point of fate has also arrived..." After saying that, he jumped down from the tree of life, and instantly turned into a white deer and headed straight for the fortress.

After Jafar returned to the fortress, he understood what the phrase "important person" meant.

The commander-in-chief of the Northern Battle of Emperor*, the fourth-ranked royal nobles of the royal family, came to the front line in person. On his shoulder, a bird with extremely bright feathers was stopped. Jafar, a druid, recognized the identity of the Qingfang, the Lord of the Wind Element, at a glance. In the absence of the son of Wind Nature, the great druid, who is the pillar of Wind, is enough to represent the pillar of Wind.

There were three major war zones in the northern battle. The Emerald Forest on the left was mainly elves, the middle was Emperor **, Dwarfs and Mages, and the right wing was guarded by the Chenxi Sect and Wood Elf. Since the middle was the weakest, the first one was defeated, and the Glow Elf was ambushed and lost two royal families in succession. In addition, the princes led by Krenberg rebelled, and the coalition forces that lost the right wing had to retreat to the last stronghold of the Emerald Forest, and had no time to worry about the large area of ​​land lost in the central part. Originally, Korke, who had already gone south and returned to the imperial capital for help, temporarily changed the route when he heard that the son of the natural pillar of the earth came to the front line, circled most of the Olasio Mountain, and arrived at Brenda with the remaining soldiers and recruited newcomers.

The encounter between the two was purely accidental. Originally, as a great druid, he went to Olasio's guardian land to celebrate the selection of new apostles of the Pillar of the Earth. He did not expect to hear the rumors of the Pillar of the Earth participating in the war on the road, so he came with Grand Duke Kolk, who also rushed to the north.

Seeing Hull, Jafar, who had always been calm, couldn't help but change his face.

The morning light plus the earth and the wind. More than half of the first generation have participated in the war, and the nature of this war has changed more naturally. The earth pillar is in charge of life, and it is understandable that it wants to drive away the dead. Why did the wind pillar also wade with muddy water? It knows that there are laws and constraints above the first generation...

In this case, Jafar was still thinking about the intention of the pillar of the wind. On the other end, the white deer and the green falcon looked at each other for a moment and both turned into human forms.

"Do you know what you're doing?!"

Hull's rebuke made the other commanders who came to greet him stunned. He thought that the apostle of the Pillar of Wind was here to support him, so why did he scold him when he was overwhelmed?

"As a druid, you should understand. I can't stand here safely without the permission of the pillar." Link certainly knew why Hull was angry.

Since the Pillar of Water was polluted in the Golden Age, the Pillar of Earth, which was originally order, took on the responsibility of neutrality of the Pillar of Water. Its addition, the share of the Pillar of Water was also included. The number of the Pillar of the First Generation was over half, and it would be useless even if the Pillar of Wind did not participate in the war.

"The undead has been deliberately arranged for so long, so that he can use the laws to control the first generation. If the war continues to expand, the result of more land will fall. Once the Silver Empire collapses, it will use the resentment accumulated by a large number of human deaths, even if it is not enough to shake the status of the first generation, it can corrode the flow of life outside the crystal wall and eventually corrupt the entire planet. The difference between the two is only a matter of time. If we attack, we can still take the initiative. If the undead takes action first..." Link approached Hull and whispered softly: "Will you appear here, isn't it also a tacit approval from Gasos?"

"You" glanced at the onlookers around him, and Hull swallowed the doubts to his mouth.

Now that things have come to this point, nothing is useful. It is the most important thing to think of a way to deal with the dead before the law intervenes.

Seeing that the two sons of nature stopped arguing, Grand Duke Kolk nodded to Mario and Bernardo, and the commanders entered the command post located at the core of the underground fortress.

Unlike the last episode, this time, there were no celebration fruits and wine on the narrow wooden table. The holographic images projected by the sophisticated magical instruments fully display the entire fortress and the mirror image of the tundra, from hills to grass and trees, no matter the alliance or the undead.

Link couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. If he did this with the power of magic alone, it was indeed worthy of praise.

As a divine envoy on the side of natural power, the apostles and elves of the pillars sat side by side, opposite the Emperor**, and the mage and the Dawn Sect lined up, showing the magic projection of the entire battlefield, making the atmosphere very depressing. Compared with the last time, the number of undeads was more. In addition to the main gate of the fortress, surrounded by countless undeads in the Valley of Life and the Emerald Forest behind, this time, the number of undeads not only increased, but also changed the organization. In the past, the low-level undeads who took the lead in battles were retained, except for a few skeleton shooters, others were replaced by death knights, banshees, suture monsters, etc., with a large number of bone dragons flying in the sky with constant snowstorms. Gargoyles and vampire bats that covered the already hazy sky just like late at night.

"The increase in the number of employees started three months ago. At the beginning, they just wandered on the tundra. In recent days, they have dared to enter the vicinity of the Valley of Life." Romero's meaning is very simple. The energy efficiency of the tree of life is fading, and it can no longer curb the dead energy of the undead.

"Don't you plan to let the local residents evacuate?" This is the most puzzled thing about Grand Duke Kolk. Since a war is about to begin, isn't evacuating civilians who are unable to fight first? Why are there still traffic on the streets and there is no sign of evacuation? Along the way, there are still a steady stream of caravans rushing to the fortress.

The commanders looked at each other, and Mario stood up and replied: "Duke, in the current situation, we cannot not only warn us, nor can we fire everyone in the town. If we want to die, they can only die in Brenda."

"What is this?!" The grand duke slapped the table violently, shaking the magical instruments trembled, and the holographic shadow also trembled.

This time, the person who slapped the table changed, and it was Mario's turn to laugh and cry.

"Duke, there are blood slaves from the blood-sucking lord in the fortress. Once they are let go, they will penetrate into the empire."

"Blood slave? Can't you find it with magic?" Grand Duke Kolk looked puzzled. He could even see the surrounding battlefields, but he could not even find the infected spy.

"This is the tricky place..." Bernardo continued to explain: "Morning's magic can detect blood slaves infected by vampires, but they can only cast spells against one person at a time. Not to mention soldiers, the population of the town alone is over a thousand. The number of priests in the fortress is limited. Not to mention one day, even three days can't be checked. How can we ensure that those who have been screened will not be infected? Blood poison does not have to be transmitted through vampires themselves. Rats, bats, and insects can be the targets of vampires' slavery, and living living organisms will not be driven away by the life barrier and can operate unimpeded in the fortress and small towns. In other words, even if we find all the blood slaves, they can still infect new blood slaves at any time."

"Can't you disperse it in a large scale at one time?" The grand duke glanced at the son of nature with an indifferent expression. He also knew some common sense to a certain extent, but it was limited to this.

"You are joking. The magic is limited by the ability of the caster himself. Even if the group spells are only ten, twenty or fifty, it is a miracle to clear them at one time. Only high-level divine envoys like the Son of Nature can do it. And... As I said before, even if we can clearly remove all the blood slaves, new blood slaves can be created on the undead, and even the elves cannot be spared. Prince Safin is the infected compatriot and becomes the undead." Speaking of the vampire lord today, Bernardo's voice unknowingly lowered. He had never worked with Safin, but learned from Romero that it was an elf prince who deserved the word "glory". If it weren't for the blood slave, he would not have been transformed into a undead and raised a butcher's knife to his former comrades.

The Grand Duke's eyes turned to magic projection: "Okay, we won't talk about civilians. How do you plan to deal with this offensive? The number of undead army exceeds any previous battle, and it is mainly mid-level. Ordinary soldiers are not opponents at all."

His question was exactly what the commanders were worried about. Once the mirror image leaked here would cause serious panic and even cause the soldiers to flee. Fleeing was the only instinct in the face of an invincible enemy.

Everyone placed their hopes on the only son of nature who could perform advanced magical skills. Faced with such a severe situation, Link not only did not answer, but instead raised questions that surprised everyone.

"Where is Yurien." (To be continued.)
