Chapter 266 Aschael's decision
That night, Dendera Fortress was sleepless again.
The emergence of mutants has made it possible for everyone to be attacked, which makes people have to be alert to their situation. However, they have not been able to rest and sleep for two consecutive days and nights, and even the heroes are a little bit overwhelmed.
However, the attack of mutants did not stop because of the coming of the day. It is completely different from ordinary undead. Zombies mutated by the t-virus are not afraid of the sun at all, which caused the troops in the fortress to rush everywhere even at dawn Fire, destroy those living dead who stand up again.
Under the exhaustion of people, the morale of the entire Dendera Fortress can be said to be low at this time, and as the number of mutants becomes more and more, the small number of patrols can no longer cope. In this case, The troops of the Kingdom of Bradaka had to shrink their defenses, giving up some of the outer parts of the fortress.
These outer blocks have become a dead city through and through, and the remaining zombies are raging in these areas...
Fortunately, at noon, the light of the space teleportation array lit up again, and the support of Aglan Fortress finally arrived!
The leader of the team was Archbishop Elaric who was originally staying at the Fortress of Agran. Because the messengers he sent called the priests to come to help, Elaric could only make one trip, but because he learned that Dendera There are necromancers like Alan Thiel in the fortress, and Elaric seems very reluctant. He came under the order of the fake Queen Isabel. See what happened to the fallen angel who was with the devil. Out of fanaticism, he thought that the Bradaka people chose to cooperate with the necromancer, which was a blasphemy against his belief.
So even though the messenger urged him repeatedly, he still delayed his arrival until now in the name of gathering troops.
Among the troops brought by Elaric, in addition to a priest and priest troop with a number of more than 500, there is also a troop of angels with a number of 20. Larick was dissatisfied with delaying time, but for the sake of this army, he still suppressed his anger and greeted Elarik with a smile.
After all, the priests of the kingdom of Erasia all practice light magic, and they are unique in dealing with various dark curses and plague diseases. Eschael and the others have nothing to do with the evil plague that broke out in the fortress, they can only count on These pastors are gone.
Although surprised by the tragic state of Dendera Fortress at the moment, Archbishop Elaric quickly realized his importance. Now, whether it is the Bradaka or the elves, they need to rely on them, which makes Elaric involuntarily change In the conversation, he kept taunting the Bradaka people, and even the elf rangers led by Gru did not let them go.
Eschael and the others have long heard of this guy's bad temper. He was very annoying when he was in the Kingdom of Erasia. Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he can't wait to sew this guy's mouth shut!
But they still had to endure...
"Okay!" After finally being satisfied verbally and spiritually, Elaric waved his hand and said, "Bring the infected people you caught first. What about the devil's trouble!"
Eschael and the others were expressionless and didn't bother to talk anymore. They nodded and let the captured zombies be brought up.
A row of prison vans slowly drove into the square, and in the cage were more than a dozen imprisoned zombies. These were infected people who had finally been caught, and most of them were goblins and mage apprentices. There are also some infected people of the Naga Snake Demon and the Archmage. When the prison car drove into the square, these zombies smelled the breath of the living, and they desperately got together between the gaps in the cage, using their mouths dripping with saliva. He desperately bit at the crowd, but Naihe couldn't squeeze it out, so he became more and more manic.
Not to mention Eschael and the others, even Elaric was taken aback by the appearance of these zombies. At first glance, he thought they were some ghouls, but then he realized that they were not too same.
"Didn't it say that there were mutants?" Elaric asked suspiciously: "There are no specimens of mutants?"
"No, we couldn't catch any alive!" Eschael shook his head and said, "The terrain in the fortress is too complicated, and the jumping ability of those mutants has a great advantage in this terrain, so we set up traps and It will be seen through by them... But don't worry, this is only temporary, after you figure out their action patterns, you will be able to catch them soon, now you should try to see if you can handle these ordinary things first."
Elaric stopped talking nonsense and gestured to the priest troops under him, so a row of priests walked up to the first few units and came to the vicinity of these prison cars.
These priests began to wave the cross necklaces in their hands and chant prayers. Soon, several rays of light fell from the sky and splashed on the zombies in the prison car. The scene looked very magnificent.
"The magic of purification is being used now!" Elaric explained with some pride: "If these guys become like this because they are cursed by magic, they will be expelled immediately."
Eschael couldn't help but rolled his eyes, thinking that this guy Elaric was doing useless work. They were basically sure that this was a plague, but this guy was still using the magic of dispelling curses... But it's not a problem, anyway, these priests have a lot of magic power, so it's good to let them try one by one to see if there is any way to get rid of it.
After the purification technique was used, nothing happened, and the zombies in the cage were still gnashing their teeth loudly, without any impact at all.
Elaric frowned, looked at Eschael's half-smile expression, and said annoyedly, "Use the disease directly to get rid of it!"
So the priests obeyed the order and poured down the light again.
However, the result of the incident surprised everyone again. The magic of dispelling diseases still has no effect on the zombies!
Seeing this scene, Elaric suddenly felt bad, and couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, and roared: "How could this happen!? Increase the magic power and try again!"
However, the result didn't change in the slightest because of his yelling. Elaric couldn't hold back his face, so he just did it himself!
It has to be said that as an archbishop, Elaric's magic power is indeed much more powerful than those ordinary priests and priests. The same disease-removing magic is used in his hands, and the effect is different. Among the strong holy light Under the hood, anyone can feel the surging power within.
Unexpectedly, however, the zombie shrouded in his magic suddenly uttered a scream, and the flesh and blood all over his body collapsed and scattered from his body, even the bones. In the light of the sun, it turned into a pile of disgusting rotten meat!
"What... what's going on here!?" Elaric stared dumbfounded at the result he had caused. He could feel that the magic of dispelling the disease had taken effect on the zombie, but the healing effect he expected hadn't happened. Instead, it led to the complete death of the zombie.
Elaric didn't know that this was actually a complete breakdown of the zombie's genes!
In fact, the magic of "disease elimination" is mainly aimed at some diseases caused by external pathogenic factors, and excludes the invading pathogenic factors from the human body, so as to obtain the effect of healing. Normal ailments are useful indeed.
It is said that zombies are also a disease caused by the invasion and infection of the t-virus, but the problem is that the t-virus is completely different from other viruses. It will combine with the genes in the organism to cause mutation and recombination of the genes. When the organism cannot adapt This sudden change often turns into a terrifying monster, which is the cause of zombies, and because the virus has actually been completely combined with the genetic factors of the organism, when the disease is eliminated and the invading virus is expelled, It will inevitably cause the genes of the zombies to completely collapse!
This is research on the scientific side. The magic on the mysterious side may not be able to deeply and meticulously affect the microcosm. Elaric's magic is powerful, but he does not understand the real cause of this disease, and it will only be caused by recklessness. Such a result.
So, in terms of how to cure the infected, the magic spells of the priests may not be very useful. Maybe they go to the prophets of the Blind Brotherhood, and the herbs prepared by the prophets are more reliable...
With such a result, even Eschael and the others were shocked. Their original intention was to heal these former colleagues through the magic of priests, but if this magic can only kill these infected people in the end If so, what are the pastors supposed to do! ? It's not as good as they do it themselves.
All the heroes were all gloomy and silent at the moment, and Elaric could sense this even without turning his head. He gritted his teeth after thinking for a while, and simply gave up his position, wanting the angels to have a try!
However, one of the angel troops, wearing a hood and wearing a white battle robe floating in the air, faced Elaric's eyes, but slowly shook his head and said: "The souls of these monsters have already passed away, we can't even Bring them back, let alone save them..."
"Damn! Damn! Why is this happening!?" Elaric couldn't help but lose his temper: "Isn't Holy Light omnipotent!? Why can't we do anything about this plague disease!?"
Seeing Elaric's loss of composure, Eschael and Grew showed sarcasm and did not speak, but the angel seemed to sense something, suddenly raised its wings and soared into the sky, and slammed the angel sword in its hand. Stab into the air!
Bark! With a slight sound, something was pierced by the angel's sword, and it slowly appeared in the air.
That's a... devil's eye!
Although the devil's eye created by Roy is from the system, but because of his frequent use, it inevitably carries a slight devil's breath. Eschael and the others can't sense this subtle devil's breath, but for the devil's natural enemy For the angel family, they are very sensitive to even the slightest devil's breath, so this devil's eye, which is in an invisible state, was discovered by the angel...
The angel landed slowly, looking at the thing on his sword that obviously looked like a devil's creation, Eschael and the others suddenly became solemn.
"It seems that Alan Thiel is right. All this is indeed a conspiracy of the devil. He is even watching us secretly, taking a panoramic view of the situation in the fortress..."
"Then what do we do now?" Solam asked.
Eschael thought about it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision: "We give up the fortress! That demon doesn't show up because he is afraid of our fortress. Now we have to give up the fortress and let him see it." Hopefully, he will come out to fight us... maybe only by eliminating him can we stop this plague!"
