When the first wooden barrel exploded in the drow reserve team, the drow had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.
The barrel exploded, and the gray-white liquid splashed everywhere. It quickly dispersed after contacting the outside air. However, no matter whether the drow smelled or touched the gray-white gas, they showed no symptoms of discomfort.
Large wooden barrels came roaring one after another.
Someone reported this situation to Mistress Cynthia.
Cynthia was a little suspicious. After suffering a loss, she became very cautious. Although the gray liquid in these large wooden barrels did not show lethality, other traps could not be ruled out.
Therefore, she immediately ordered the herald to blow the whistle to withdraw the troops, so that the second and third teams that were attacking the city could temporarily withdraw and rest.
However, as soon as the retreat whistle sounded and the army had not regrouped, screams rang out from the crowd.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!"
In the area where the barrel hit, those drow that came into contact with the gray-white liquid rolled around in pain, tearing at their skin like crazy.
The corpse spots that had dissipated appeared again, and they were densely packed and even scarier than before!
However, the color of the corpse spots changed from the original gray-white to cyan. It seemed that the drow elves who fell to the ground turned into green-skinned and swollen monsters, and then stood up again crookedly.
Zombies!
The drow zombies seemed to be walking crookedly, but they pounced very quickly! The drow warrior who was pounced by the first batch of zombies was also infected after being bitten a few times.
What's even more frightening is that those who have not directly touched the gray-white liquid or been bitten by zombies have begun to develop the same symptoms one after another as the distance increases, and they have turned into zombies while roaring!
"This is a virus! It is a virus developed by humans and can spread through the air!"
Mother Cynthia's pupils shrank, she looked towards the city, and said sternly: "You despicable and cruel humans! You obviously believe in the Lord of Light, but you create such a terrible virus! Your Lord God will not forgive you!"
After a pause, Mother Cynthia gritted her teeth and said: "This virus will only kill you and me! Your people will never escape the disaster!"
Cynthia and the two priestesses waved their hands and cast spells at the same time, generating dozens of energy whirlwinds, enveloping gray-white mist, roaring and sweeping away in the direction of White Rock City.
Kamaitachi Wind is not a very lethal skill, but in this case, it is the ultimate killing move that Mistress Cynthia can come up with to kill both of them!
On the city wall, Bonita watched this scene, her little face under the mask turned pale with fright.
"This, this, this...is this the kind of thing I have been taking care of? Are everyone in the city going to be poisoned now?"
Seeing the gray-white mist sweeping over the top of White Rock City, Mother Cynthia laughed loudly.
"Very good! Even if it means death, the drow will make the enemy pay the same price."
Ten seconds.
Thirty seconds.
One minute.
Time passed, and the people on the city wall remained motionless.
Mistress Cynthia suppressed the uncomfortable feeling of itching all over her body and said in a hissing voice: "No, this is impossible! Have you all taken the antidote beforehand? Everyone in the city?"
If the whole city takes the medicine in advance, such a large-scale move cannot be kept secret. The drow are not fools, and there are a few informants in White Rock City.
Cecilia shook her head slightly and said loudly: "Cynthia, you are wrong. These wooden barrels are just a primer, and they will not be poisonous if they are inhaled directly... because the real toxins have already been lurking in your bodies!"
"What do you mean?" Mistress Cynthia's heart froze, and she suddenly thought of the plague killer she had taken before.
Cecilia said: "Two years ago, the scholar developed a series of plague killer drugs that can remove the toxins of patients with the undead plague, but it is not effective for those patients who have been deeply poisoned, so he developed another
This drug can transform the carriers and authors of the undead plague virus into the walking dead called 'zombie'. This drug is called the 'Ultimate Plague Buster'."
"The ultimate plague killer will not restore the poisoned life forms to their original state, but will only transform them into zombies to get rid of the control of the plague lord. This is another sense of eradicating the plague."
"In the past two years, scholars have been thinking about how to deal with the Plague Lord, conducting research on the basis of the original Plague Buster, and have achieved fruitful results."
"In order to prevent you from falling out this time, Dio ordered the scholars to make small modifications to the ultimate plague killer. After taking it, it can effectively suppress the undead plague virus and will not turn into zombies for the time being."
"But if paired with this kind of primer called 'Zombie Inducing Fluid'... even if you inhale just a little bit, it will immediately induce the ultimate plague killer drug in the body, accelerating the onset of zombie transformation!"
Cecilia looked at the disbelieving matron Cynthia from a distance and concluded: "In other words, your zombie transformation is because you have taken the ultimate plague killer, but we have not... So, you want to die together.
, is impossible.”
When Bonita heard this, she finally felt a little better. At least what she had been keeping and transporting was not a deadly poison, but just a poison.
But it was only a little better. Bonita still felt that she was impure. When the war was over, she had to go to the chapel to pray and repent.
Mistress Cynthia felt that she could no longer suppress the itching of her skin. She looked down and saw that the originally fair skin had been covered with ugly blue spots.
"You have been planning this step from the beginning! After using the drow, they will massacre us all. The tricks you did in the antidote are proof! No matter whether we turn our backs and attack the city, the outcome will be the same!
"
Gathering up her last strength, Mistress Cynthia shouted loudly.
Cecilia shook her head again: "No, Dio has ordered the scholars to prepare another medicine that can eliminate the side effects of the ultimate plague killer. If you continue to cooperate and help the North resist the remnants, these medicines will be given to you.
.”
"Go back to coaxing the children with such nonsense to deceive elves. I don't believe it!"
Mistress Cynthia suppressed the deep regret in her heart and shouted harshly.
Then, she could no longer suppress the itching feeling, and screamed, using her nails to draw bloody red marks on her skin.
The priestess Marcia, Alba, had turned into a zombie and rushed towards her with a roar.
Mistress Cynthia's vision was covered with blood.
In her last hazy consciousness, Mother Cynthia seemed to see a line of black dots quickly approaching on the plain in the distance.
…
"The whole army obeys the order and kills all these deformed monsters!"
"Archer unit, 45-degree angle, three rounds of ejection!"
"The cavalry rushes into the center! Cut through these monster groups and separate them! Infantry phalanx, surround and annihilate them!"
Outside White Rock City, a well-equipped and well-trained legion quickly attacked and killed the drow zombies in front of them.
The defenders of White Rock City were on alert at first, until they saw that the intruder was carrying the flag of the Imperial Army.
Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief: "Dior is here."
In fact, this advance army sent by the empire arrived in the Northland Province two days ago, but it has been lying in wait.
It was not until today during the day that the last batch of plague killer medicine was delivered to the drow camp. Bai Xiaowen used the fiefdom order to come to the Northland again and secretly contacted the commander of the imperial advance army, Viscount Dennis.
If the drow were honest and honest, Bai Xiaowen would not kill them all.
However, the drow who believe in Spider Queen Rose cannot be linked to honesty and duty. Bai Xiaowen didn't want a group of allies who might betray him at any time, so he devised this plan, which can be regarded as fishing for law enforcement.
With the imperial advance army, the drow troops are no longer needed as allies, which is why Bai Xiaowen allowed the drow to quarrel.
Riding on the back of Raging Claw, Bai Xiaowen watched Viscount Dennis give orders and the elite imperial advance army to kill the drow zombies, but many thoughts went through his mind for a moment.
This commander named Denis was only thirty-two years old and an upstart in the Plantagenet Empire. After the death of Earl Denton, he won the trust of Emperor Nicholas IV.
Nicholas was a wise king. He wanted to promote the young generals he valued. He would not entrust them with important tasks casually. Instead, he would first place them on the frontiers where the war was fierce, and then use them again after they had made meritorious deeds.
This is both a test and a training.
Bai Xiaowen could vaguely feel that Viscount Dennis was very respectful and polite to him in his words and deeds, but there was a trace of fear and wariness in his heart.
That is to say, Bai Xiaowen was so sensitive that he could detect it. If it were anyone else, he would definitely not be able to see the hidden thoughts of Viscount Dennis.
After all, Bai Xiaowen is a visitor from another world, which many high-ranking officials in the empire already know.
Although Nicholas IV obeyed Bai Xiaowen's advice, he must have thought carefully before adopting his opinions and would not blindly trust Bai Xiaowen.
This is the consequence of exposing the identity of the awakened person, and it is difficult to gain 100% trust from the indigenous people.
Although Bai Xiaowen was needed to guard the North and an advance army was sent to support him, Nicholas would not let Bai Xiaowen gain command of this army.
Viscount Dennis's hidden caution was proof - Bai Xiaowen guessed that before the advance army set off, Viscount Dennis should have received a hidden instruction from Nicholas IV.
This is considered normal. Awakened people have no bottom line in doing things, because they can get away with it if they cause huge disasters. Therefore, only focusing on immediate benefits is a common characteristic of awakened people, and Bai Xiaowen is not exempt from this.
What if Bai Xiaowen deceived the advance army for some greater interests and left Kane, where would Nicholas IV go to settle the score with him?
For example, if you knew that a colleague with whom you have a good relationship in the company would leave his job at any time and go abroad and never contact you again, would you feel comfortable lending him a large amount of money?
This advance army was much more important to Nicholas than money.
"Once the identity of the awakened person is exposed, he will no longer be able to hold important positions of real power in the indigenous forces. At most, he can be an advisor or staff officer, with the qualification to make suggestions but no command authority."
Bai Xiaowen secretly concluded in his heart. As early as the first time he entered the spirit world, the rules of the spirit world gave a warning, asking the rookies to pay attention to their words and not to expose their identities as awakened persons in front of people in the spirit world, otherwise they will bear the consequences.
The rules of the spirit world do not prohibit the awakened person from telling his or her identity, nor will it trigger any direct punishment because it is not classified information.
It's just that exposing one's identity is usually very harmful, so the rules of the spirit world use the words "at your own risk", which can be regarded as a worry for the newly awakened ones.
Of course, there are also special circumstances. When the leaders of the indigenous forces have 100% trust in the awakened people, they will grant command to the awakened people.
Just like the plane of Aaron, Bai Xiaowen single-handedly created the Black Rider Lord Gloria and the forces of the Kingdom of Death. Gloria's second "life" was given by Bai Xiaowen, and she trusted Bai Xiaowen 100% - but this example is too extreme.
.
"Your Excellency, Commander, please leave the monster transformed by the most dangerous Mistress Cynthia to my team. This will not only reduce the casualties of the Empire's soldiers, but we can also get a lot of rewards." Bai Xiaowen said.
The identity of the Awakened One is exposed, and there are some benefits. For example, when it comes to grabbing monsters and killing bosses, Bai Xiaowen does it with confidence and no need to make excuses at all.
