The troops who suppressed the rebellion in the fortress were quickly pulled out, but when they rushed ferociously toward the camp where the goblins were, they found that the scope of the riot seemed to have expanded.
This time it was not just the goblins, but also some mage apprentices...
The virus in the first wave of mage apprentices who were bitten to death by goblins finally spread throughout their bodies, causing their corpses to stand up!
When they saw these mage apprentices, the suppression troops were a little confused. They finally realized that something was wrong, because these mage apprentices who were staggering towards the suppression troops looked like dead people! Their bodies were covered with blood. Dried dark red blood stains, and their faces, arms, thighs, and even their stomachs were covered in bloody injuries. How could they still be alive with such injuries?
Looking at the appearance of the mage apprentices, how could Eschar and the others not be familiar with them? Aren't there such zombies among the undead troops led by Alan Dial?
"Bastard!" The mage heroes were trembling with anger and roared: "Attack! Kill all these damn zombies!"
After receiving the order, a large number of Iron Golem troops rushed towards the zombies composed of goblins and mage apprentices. They mechanically waved the blades in their hands and slashed at the zombies.
Unfortunately, however, the zombies infected by the T virus in Roy's demon blood are different from the zombies in this world. To put it bluntly, the zombies in this world are just corpses that have been resurrected not long after they were buried. There is actually not much difference from the skeleton soldiers wrapped in flesh and blood, and they can be killed easily. However, the zombies infected by the T virus cannot be eliminated at all if they are only slashed a few times.
Under the attack of the Iron Man Golem troops, many zombies at the scene had their arms and legs chopped off, and some were even chopped into two pieces at the waist. However, these chopped zombies were still squirming tenaciously on the ground. , even if only half of their bodies were left, they still made a blood-curdling roar and struggled to crawl from the ground towards the location of the mage troops.
The Iron Golem troops are just puppets and have no living flesh and blood to attract zombies, so the mage troops and Naga troops in the rear have become the most attractive targets for zombies.
There are already more than 3,000 zombies gathered in this area. They rely on their painless bodies to withstand the attack of the Iron Man Golem while surging forward. They are so forcefully pushed forward by their weight. The Iron Golem troops were overwhelmed and then overwhelmed.
Seeing that the zombies were about to rush over, the mage troops finally couldn't help but open fire, and a large number of fireballs and magic arrows flew into the zombie group. However, even if their bodies were on fire and penetrated by the magic arrows, these zombies Still struggling, he advanced for some distance before finally stopping moving.
But soon, everyone also noticed that compared to magic arrows, flames seemed to be more effective against these zombies, so the mage troops tried their best to use fireballs to attack. After a while, these surrounded zombies finally became A pile of burning, charred corpses.
Seeing this scene and smelling the disgusting burning smell, the muscles on Eskel's face twitched. He remembered what he had seen before, the unprecedented ferocity and desire on the faces of these previously docile goblins. His expression made even Eskel feel a chill rising on his face.
Eschar knows very well that the zombies gathered here are just in a small corner. In the entire Dendera Fortress, the number of goblins is the largest. I don’t know how many such goblins and mage apprentices have been turned into In the face of such strange zombies, the scattered suppression troops were not sure whether they could complete the task of suppressing them.
After the cleanup was completed, Escher thought for a while and left some manpower to clean up the scene. He immediately led his troops to other locations for support.
Like him, Soram and other mage heroes were also suppressing these zombies that suddenly appeared in various parts of the fortress. Although the suppression process went smoothly, it didn't take long for them to discover that these zombies were actually in the entire fortress. They are still popping up! Although sometimes there are just a few sporadic ones, they always give people the illusion that they are endless and not killing them all.
Moreover, the types of these zombies gradually spread from the little goblins and mage apprentices at the beginning to some Naga snake monsters and archmages...
For the T virus infection to spread, one does not have to be bitten, and the T virus can also be transmitted through the air. In addition, the previously contaminated water source was made into food and distributed to the vigil troops everywhere, so even if the cloth was The Ladaka people kept killing infected zombies, but new zombies still kept popping up.
Gru and the elf ranger troops he led had not participated in the suppression of zombies before, because it was initially judged to be a riot by goblin slaves. This was considered an internal matter of the Kingdom of Bradaka, and the elves were not suitable. Participation is basically done by the heroes of Bradaka.
However, when some of the elf rangers in the army also transformed into zombies and started biting their companions around them, Gru also realized that something was in trouble! So he immediately commanded the troops to strangle those companions who had turned into zombies, and at the same time immediately killed these companions. The news was informed to Eskel and the others.
After learning the news, Eschar and Solam, like Gru, a word suddenly appeared in their minds: plague!
Simple zombies are not scary, but the scary thing is that they may be a plague! Because once a plague occurs, it means there is a possibility of infection, especially in a closed city like a fortress, a contagious plague will exert its greatest power!
For a while, the heroes were unable to find the source of the plague. While they were struggling to exterminate the zombies, they could only cruelly monitor and isolate all soldiers suspected of being infected by the plague!
Among Bradaka's mage troops, there are some archmages who know how to use purification magic. However, when they sprinkled the purification magic on their companions who turned into zombies, they found that it had no effect at all! These zombies were caused by viruses. The change has nothing to do with any negative state. Purification magic cannot eliminate this infection.
As a last resort, they could only endure the heartache and kill their former companions with their own hands!
In the entire Dendera Fortress, the only place that has not been harassed by zombies is the station of Alandier's undead troops. The reason is very simple. What zombies crave is fresh flesh and blood, and the undead troops have nothing to attract zombies at all. .
Of course, Alan Dial discovered this shocking change in the city. Zombies are originally a type of undead. Alan Diel could feel the strong aura of death in these zombies, but because no one informed him that this plague disaster was
What's going on, so Alan Dial can only sit still in the barracks of his troops, but he doesn't dare to bring his troops out to help.
Alantil is very smart. He realized that the sudden appearance of these undead in Dendera Fortress caused a huge commotion. If he brought his troops out to help at this time, it might be self-defeating...
This is also true. The troops of the Kingdom of Bradaka and the elves have a huge fear of their companions turning into zombies. On the one hand, they are afraid of being bitten to death by these former companions, and on the other hand, they have no choice but to
Don't kill your companions without grief. The nerves of the people alive in the city have been stretched to the extreme. They may collapse at any time. Once Alan Diel's undead army appears in front of them, they may not think twice.
Attack without warning!
Even at this moment, many archmages have already thought of Alan Dire. This undead plague has appeared sooner or later. Why did Alan Dire, the death lord, break out in the city as soon as he arrived?
!?
The mages of the Kingdom of Bradaka originally hated these undead sorcerers. Although Arantil became their ally by relying on his reputation, their deep-rooted wariness made the mages of Bradaka immediately put this matter aside.
It's all the fault of Alan Dire!
So, after working hard all night and finally calming down the commotion in the city, the remaining Bradaka Kingdom troops in the Dendera Fortress spontaneously surrounded Alantil's military camp!
The iron golems and gargoyles stood expressionlessly around the military camp. Behind them were the Naga snake monsters covered in blood and a small number of mage troops. The lantern elves were already floating in the air.
The sky above the undead army camp was tightly surrounded.
Eschar, Soram, as well as Gru and the rest of the mage heroes, escorted by a group of Titans, rode towards Alandier's military camp on war horses. Everyone's expressions were the same, ashen.
horrible.
Casualty statistics have been reported. The elf troops in the entire fortress, which numbered about 70,000, were almost completely wiped out. Thousands of mage apprentices were left with only two or three kittens. In addition, the elf ranger troops
The number of troops was reduced by one-third, and the Archmage troops and Naga troops also suffered varying degrees of casualties. Only the Iron Golems, Gargoyles, Magic Lamp Elves and Titans did not suffer any losses.
In other words, in just one night, the entire fortress lost more than half of its population!
They didn't feel much about it during the crackdown before, but now that the statistics came out, both Escher and Gru were so heartbroken that they couldn't breathe.
Especially Escher and the others. Normally, they thought that it would not be a big deal even if slaves of lower races like goblins were lost. However, after they really lost the goblins now, they discovered that the fortress
Iron golems and gargoyles can no longer be produced in the factory workshops, and there are no coolies to strengthen city defenses and build buildings...
This plague came so strangely, Eskel and the others must find an explanation!
So, when standing in front of Alandier's military camp, Soram was the first to take action angrily. He raised his hand and a powerful lightning struck down the door of the military camp, roaring: "Alandier, get out!!
If you dare not come out, I will chop all your bones into powder!"
