Chapter two hundred and sixty seventh among us a traitor
Escher's decision to abandon the city was very difficult!
A fortress like Dendera Fortress that can accommodate more than 100,000 troops is quite huge, covering an area of nearly ten square kilometers. It took nearly two years of investment in manpower and material resources to build it. Once the fortress is abandoned,
It means that all the previous investment has been wasted, and it will also put the coalition forces in a situation where there is no danger to defend, which can be said to be very dangerous.
But... they have to do this because the water source has been contaminated by the plague. It is meaningless to continue to hold on. It will only make more and more people infected by the plague. And every day the troops stay in the fortress is equivalent to
Hundreds of soldiers are to be lost. People are in panic, morale is low, and they have no fighting ability. If the enemy really appears, it is uncertain whether the coalition forces can fight. With things like this, it is better to abandon this fortress completely.
, put yourself to death and survive!
Although all the heroes were unwilling to accept Eskel's decision, they were all the best in their respective races. Naturally outstanding in terms of wisdom, they could certainly think through the pros and cons, so after a period of silence, everyone unconditionally
Strongly support Eskel's decision.
When the decision was made, the heroes breathed a sigh of relief. Gru smiled bitterly and said: "In the end, we still have to be like Alan Dire..."
Soram said angrily: "Even if we all have to leave the city, I still say what I said. Alandeel must serve as a vanguard to fight against the devil. Our troops are now in low morale. Only the scumbags under his command are not affected.
, at such a moment, he should fulfill his obligations!"
"Yes, that's right!" After hearing this, the other mages and heroes also nodded and said: "The coalition forces can be stationed farther back!"
The bad blood between the mages of the Kingdom of Bradaka and the necromancers of the Kingdom of Helles was not formed in a day or two, so after hearing the suggestions of the mages and heroes, Gru could only remain silent without comment.
As for Elalik, he is even more eager for this...
Now that they had decided to abandon the fortress, the coalition forces quickly took action. The intact troops began to withdraw from the fortress in an orderly manner while guarding against zombie attacks.
However, after confirming that the priest's magic was ineffective on the infected, the coalition forces had no choice but to give up on the remaining infected who were scratched while fighting zombies but had not yet completely mutated.
They're gone!
This decision was cruel, so in order to prevent the injured from losing control of their emotions and mutiny, the heroes decided to hide the truth from them after discussing for a while.
They gathered these infected but not mutated people together, placed them in the same camp, and erected a large number of canvases around the camp to block their sight and prevent them from knowing the evacuation of the fortress defenders.
Originally, as long as proper measures were taken, these infected people might not know about this decision until they die. However, it is very regrettable that, for some unknown reason, it did not take long for these infected people to know that they had been given up!
There were hundreds of similar wounded people. When they heard that they had to stay in the fortress and could not evacuate with the troops, these wounded people suddenly went into an uproar. Although they themselves knew that they might not be saved, they couldn't escape.
Due to the instinct of survival, they always have illusions, thinking that they can still save the life. Now the coalition forces have made such a cruel decision, which makes them desperate and completely unacceptable.
Especially among the injured, many were once noble mage masters, which intensified the conflict. When these infected people clamored to find an explanation from Escher, they and the soldiers guarding them
They had a fight, and the infected people were so disheartened that under such circumstances, they had no regard for their comradeship. During the fight, many infected people actually bit the guarding soldiers.
!
This resulted in nearly a hundred more infected people suddenly appearing among the soldiers guarding them...
The situation got out of control for a while. When Escher and the others got the news and hurriedly came with the army to suppress it, what they saw was a mess and corpses all over the place.
There was no way, the people who were bitten were also red-eyed. Everyone knew what would happen after being infected. For these infected people who had harmed themselves, they simply adopted an attitude of killing them all and aimed the butcher knife at them.
I met my former colleagues...
This is actually the most terrifying thing about the T-virus. Human relations, friendship, family affection and even love will all be vulnerable at this moment...
All the infected people died, including the bitten guard soldiers. This was a massacre. In order to prevent future troubles, the remaining guards could only deal with it cold-bloodedly. Ascher watched this scene, his face kept twitching.
, but in the end it could only turn into a sigh.
"Burn their corpses!" he ordered. After all, if left alone, these corpses will stand up again after a while.
Then, he began to trace how the news was leaked, which led to this tragedy.
If no one had tipped off these infected people, they would not find themselves abandoned until the army withdrew from the fortress. But now that the news has been leaked in advance, they must find out who did it.
Eschar originally thought that it might be a friend among the infected who did it secretly, but what he didn't expect was that in the end, after checking again and again, all the fingertips were pointed at the priests brought by Elalic.
Priests! Because the last people who come into contact with these infected people are those priests who want to continue to study what is going on with the plague!
Well, not long after Ellaric arrived at Dendera Fortress, he already had a big problem on his back! When he was questioned angrily by Eskel, he was still confused.
His expression showed that he had no idea what was going on.
Coupled with Eralic's arrogant attitude at the beginning, this incident instantly caused a huge rift between the Erathians and the Bradaka people.
This was especially true when Elalik finally checked and couldn't find out which priest leaked the information. The Bradaka people thought that it wasn't that Elalik couldn't find out, but that he wanted to.
He was just protecting the priests under his command, but for God's sake, Elalic really didn't find out who did it...
Although a lot of time was delayed due to this matter, the troops of Dendera Fortress are still withdrawing according to the scheduled plan. They must complete this matter before dark, because if it comes at night, the army may be in chaos.
There will be many more victims due to the attack of mutants.
In the evening, when the sun gradually set in the west, the fortress completed the evacuation. The high walls were abandoned and the gates of the fortress were blocked. Dendera was completely reduced to an empty city... Oh, no, it should be said to be an empty city.
A city overrun by zombies.
When night fell, the mutants emerged from the sewers and began to move around, but they could no longer find any blood food, so they roared angrily.
The coalition forces withdrew to the plains about two kilometers away from the fortress. In order to prevent the mutants in the fortress from escaping, they also specially set up a large number of mines and magic traps near the fortress as a warning. But even so, the soldiers
Listening to the terrifying roar coming from far away from the fortress, I still couldn't help but shudder in my heart.
"Oh, it always feels like we jumped from one trap into another..." Eskel said to the rest of the mage heroes, and then there was an embarrassing silence.
"Now we can only hope that the demon will appear as soon as possible!" Gru said: "If it were me, the moment when we have just completed the evacuation is the best time to attack, and it is dark again, so
That demon will most likely appear tonight!"
"Be prepared!" The lightning on Solam's body quickly moved around, looking at the dark night sky ahead with sharp eyes.
Elalic said nothing and huddled in the corner of a group of heroes, looking a little abnormal.
He couldn't help but be abnormal, because just now, a priest came to him and quietly reported something in his ear.
Among the priest troops he brought this time, there was a priest who disappeared at some point!
When he received this report, Elalic almost immediately determined that the missing priest was most likely the person who informed the infected people of the evacuation news!
"Damn! There is a traitor among us!" Elalic was cursing secretly in his heart at this time. He couldn't figure out who the missing priest was, but he could no longer investigate the matter.
Because once he says it, Elalic will become the target of public criticism, and those nerdy mages in Bradaka will put all the blame on him...
So now, he can only pretend that nothing happened and wait quietly with the other heroes.
Time passed little by little, and towards midnight, there was a faint sound of water in the night, and a figure suddenly emerged from the river flowing through the Grand Canyon!
It was a man dressed as a priest. He was holding a cross necklace in his hand and a hammer of punishment on his shoulder. He was all wet. After emerging from the river, he looked at the surrounding shores warily, and then looked back.
see.
Needless to say, this priest is the missing priest in Elalic's army...
"This position is already far away from the fortress alliance. Even Alan Diel's undead troops are left behind. It's almost..." The priest whispered to himself, and then his expression relaxed a little.
At this time, his figure suddenly became blurry, and his whole person gradually changed his appearance. From the original image of an unremarkable greasy uncle wearing a priest's robe, he gradually turned into a figure with reverse wings on his back.
A female succubus with flaming hooves!
If Roy were here, he might be able to recognize at a glance that the succubus in front of him was the Bainiya he had seen before!
As a high-ranking demon, Bainiya has the same extraordinary talent for transformation as her sister Baiara. She hides among Elalic's priest troops, and even the angels cannot detect the existence of her demon...
"Hahahaha!" After Baiyala completed her transformation, she couldn't help but let out a burst of shrill laughter: "I finally escaped, Baiyala, my dear sister, wait for me, I will come back to you soon.
's! But now, I'm going to find my powerful ally..."
After saying that, Bainiya moved her anti-joint devil's hooves and ran all the way towards the distant forest. Only a series of scorching flame footprints on the ground left the mark of her past...
