Chapter 955 The Unexpected Corpse Explosion Technique
Sarlayan didn't know how long this group of psychics had been secretly working underground. Judging from the dirty look of their black robes, it seemed likely that they had been lurking here for months, or even years.
Perhaps considering the importance of the only Nerubian army in hand, Ner'zhul ordered Anub'rakhan and his men to withdraw to the under-construction tunnel after the excavation of the underground tunnel from Icecrown Glacier to Sholazar Basin was completed.
Icecrown Citadel in.
Icecrown Fortress is a defensive fortress built by Ner'zhul for the Frozen Throne where he lives. According to the scouts from the Backlight Blade's Northland branch, the current Icecrown Fortress is still in the initial stage of construction and is still very crude in all aspects.
.
When Sarlayan arrived at this underground meeting place, there were no undead nerubians on the scene. There were only dozens of psychics and tens of thousands of zombies and skeletons left.
'How many ancestral graves of the Vrykul did that guy Ner'zhul dig up to come up with such a large number?'
The Curse Sect's layout in the Eastern Kingdom has not yet entered the final stage of outbreak, and it is unlikely that it will blatantly obtain a large number of corpses from the Eastern Continent for the time being.
Then, the origins of these skeletons and zombies are obvious. They all come from the Vrykul of various clans whose bones were buried in Northrend. This can also be seen from their skeletons that are wider than humans.
However, for the lowest level undead creatures such as skeletons and zombies, there is not much difference in size.
The Scourge of this era had not yet obtained the technology from the Shadow Realm to sew abominable constructs with corpses. This may be due to the butterfly effect caused by Sharlayan's previous turmoil in the Shadow Realm.
However, I heard from the scouts of the Backlight Blade that there are already traces of Tectonic Gargoyles among the Scourge Legion.
The connection that Ner'zhul secretly established with the Shadow Realm behind the Burning Legion's back should not be completely severed yet, and the emergence of Abomination is only a matter of time.
In any case, the current Scourge Legion's use of corpses is very inefficient.
Toys like zombies and skeletons can only move like puppets in the hands of a psychic. No matter how many they are piled up, they will not pose a threat to Sarlayan.
After a small-scale, short-term disconnection from the Internet, the skeletons and zombies surrounding the group of psychics stopped moving without exception.
As the successor of Thornspeaker, Sarlayan has also briefly studied the various factions of the Power of Death.
Necromancers, as the name suggests, are a faction on the death side that specializes in spiritual arts. Their main combat capabilities rely on the familiars they control - that is, various undead creatures that act according to orders.
In terms of individual combat effectiveness alone, psychics of the same level are definitely no match for other professions.
After temporarily cutting off the connection between the necromancer and the undead creatures, Sarlayan joked casually, and then transformed into a flexible silver wolf form, increasing his movement speed to the maximum.
Almost in the blink of an eye, a ray of silver lightning appeared in the center of the group of corpses where the psychics were gathered. The sharp wolf claws easily tore apart the two psychics who could not escape.
"Um?"
When he hit the target, Sarlayan felt a strange feeling when it cut into the flesh.
"I see."
Using Silver Wolf's powerful dynamic vision, he quickly glanced at the two psychics whose shoulders were torn apart but who were still standing. Sarlayan, who had moved to another direction, grinned a ferocious wolf's mouth, showing a menacing look.
A bloodthirsty smile filled with energy.
"You guys are really dedicated enough to transform yourself into undead creatures so early."
"Voluntarily? Or did you listen to Ner'zhul's pyramid schemes?"
Seeing the blank expressions on the faces of these psychics under their hoods, Sarlayan suddenly showed a look of astonishment.
"Oh, by the way, you probably don't know yet, but the guy you regard as the Lich King is actually an old orc who was captured by the Burning Legion and used as a pawn."
"Are you surprised or surprised?"
Sharlayan's sudden revelations caused a big shock to some of the psychics. They had no idea that in front of the extremely powerful Lich King, there was actually a dirty and ugly beast (inherent to the people of Azeroth).
concept) of the orcs.
After using words to shake the opponent's heart, Sarlayan took the opportunity to take action again, and the scene suddenly became a bloody storm.
When Crickhil led Vereesa and others to the battlefield, only about 10 of the original 30 or so psychics were left, and every one of them was injured.
After the disconnection barrier ended, the psychics immediately reconnected with a large number of zombies and skeletons.
It was precisely because of the crazy delay of these reactivated cannon fodder undead that Sarlayan was unable to kill all the psychics in a short period of time.
At this point, the psychics who have not yet been torn into pieces have realized that the Lich King's plan can no longer be realized.
Using the "internal liaison group" built by the Lich King through a powerful spiritual network to communicate quietly, this group of psychics quickly reached a consensus.
The trump card that was originally planned to be used on the Pillar of Origin Blood was revealed in advance. The body of one of the broken zombies next to Sarlayan suddenly expanded strangely, and then a violent explosion occurred.
"boom!"
Before the smoke and dust dissipated, explosions were heard one after another near Sarlayan, and a large amount of gray death power spilled out, covering his figure in a short time.
[Holy shit? Isn’t this the corpse explosion technique from Diablo next door? Where did Ner’zhul get it? 】
[Is now the time to talk about this? Xiao Sa’s life or death is still unclear!]
[Okay, we can still send barrages normally, which means that Xiao Sa is fine, otherwise the screen would have been cut to black until the day he recovers from his injuries.]
【...What you said makes sense, I can't refute it.】
Since the zombie itself does not contain much death power, the power of a single corpse explosion technique is very weak.
Even if the psychics were ruthless enough to chain together the corpse explosions of a large number of zombies, they would still be unable to penetrate the defense of the life force shield that filled Sarlayan's body.
"That's it? Is this your last trump card?"
"Hoola!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! An unnatural strong wind suddenly blew in the deep underground cave, and soon the gray power of death and the residue left by the corpse explosion that filled the cave were blown away.
.
When he reappeared in front of everyone, Sarlayan had already released the silver wolf transformation, and the clothes on his body were covered with a lot of dust, but it seemed that he had not suffered any damage.
"How can it be!"
The psychics looked at Sarlayan, who was unharmed, in horror.
"Although the power of death that zombies can produce is very small, with so many corpse explosion techniques used together, no matter how powerful a mortal is, it is impossible for a mortal to be able to withstand it!"
Sarlayan had no obligation to answer the enemy's questions. He had already noticed the elite Nerub bugmen who had just arrived on the battlefield.
In the previous battle between Azjol Nerub and the Scourge, Sarlayan's contribution was considerable, and Crickhir naturally knew this Duke of Deep Shadow, who had been highly praised by King Anub'arak.
Under the signal from Sarlayan's eyes, Krikhil led his elite troops into the battlefield without saying a word, quickly tearing a hole in the undead cannon fodder troops like a knife cutting through butter.
Delaryn Summer Moon and other sentries who followed the Nerub army were filled with shock and anger.
They didn't expect that the underground of Sholazar Basin had been penetrated like this, and that the Scourge had blatantly transported tens of thousands of low-level undead.
The enraged sentries spared no effort and cooperated with the nerubians to beat these undead fish until they were unable to fight back.
Despite the large number of undead, their overall combat effectiveness is actually quite poor.
Use numbers to make comparisons.
If the combat effectiveness of the elite Nerub soldiers under Crickhill is 10, then the skeletons only have 1, and the zombies have 2.
After losing about half of their colleagues, the remaining psychics were no longer able to perfectly control all the undead present.
Since quantitative changes cannot lead to qualitative changes, the defeat of the Scourge Legion was sealed in advance.
Under the care of the two legendary heroes Sarlayan and Vereesa, the remaining psychics were all killed in a chaotic battle within half an hour.
Without the control of the psychic, the remaining undead naturally lost their ability to move and could only stand there stupidly.
After leaving the task of cleaning up the battlefield to the Nerub bugs and sentries, and meeting with Vereesa, the two Sarlayans quickly followed the clues and found part of the underground crystal structure of the Blood Pillar.
As Sharlayan had speculated before, under the continuous corrosion of the Scourge Legion, the originally bright red life crystal has become very dim, and the light flickering on the surface flickers on and off, looking like it may collapse at any time.
"Um……"
Sarlayan touched his chin with a headache: "I alone can't restore it to normal operation...Captain Xia Yue?"
"I am here."
Upon hearing Sarlayan's call, Delaryn immediately jumped over from among the corpses.
Sarlayan: "Please arrange for someone with fast feet to make a trip and tell the Archdruid Fandral Staghelm, who is in charge of the Northland pioneering project, about the situation here as soon as possible."
