Chapter 316 Zuo Si’s Plan (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
At night, the streets of Serban City were finally no longer as noisy as they were during the day, and most of the shops had chosen to close their doors.
Because for the local residents of Innistrad, night not only means the need to rest after a busy day, but also means danger, killing and death.
Even if you live in a relatively safe holy city, it is difficult to guarantee that vampires will not sneak in under the cover of darkness and then unscrupulously hunt down ordinary people who have little ability to resist.
If it were in the past, when Archangel Avacyn was still around, this worry would naturally be somewhat unnecessary.
No matter how hungry a vampire is, he will not run to Thraben City to seek death at the risk of being purified by angels.
But with the disappearance of Archangel Avacyn, the rest of the angels also fell into chaos. There have been no angels in the Holy City for a long time, so the vampires have gradually become more courageous. .
Especially for the missing persons cases that have occurred in recent months, no clues have been found, and panic is inevitable.
Coupled with the sudden gathering of the skitarii during the day and the expedition, anyone who is not a fool will understand what must have happened, so closing down at night has become the choice of most businesses.
After all, in this hellish place like Innistrad, it doesn't matter if you make less money. If you lose your life, then you have nothing.
At this moment, Nisha, who had just had a sumptuous dinner, was standing on the window sill on the second floor of the hotel, looking at the patrols passing by outside from time to time. After a while, she asked in an uncertain tone: "What are we going to do here?" How long will it take for the city to wait for the ancient planeswalker you mentioned? "
"No more than two to three days. Are you still worried about the seal on Zendikar?"< br>
Zuo Si asked back without raising his head, while trying to copy the attributeless spiritual fire used by Wu Jin.
Through some of the knowledge gained from the Eye of Ugin and the Dragon Scroll, he has been able to get a glimpse of the secrets of the opponent's unique magic system.
As many people have guessed, the source of Ugin's power is the same as that of the Eldrazi Titans, which originate from the dark void connected by sparks.
This guy doesn't know what kind of method he used, but he can actually shape the chaotic, disorderly and endless mana of the dark void into various forms and magical effects at will.
If the inference is correct, Wujin should be completely unrestricted by land cards and can continuously draw energy from the dark void as long as he wants.
In other words, he is basically a bug with unlimited mana.
Zuo Si seriously suspected that this power was the result of the other party's long-term observation and study of the Eldrazi. It might even be a copy of some of the Eldrazi's use of dark void energy.
It is precisely because the roots of their power come from one place that Ugin can easily capture and seal the three Eldrazi Titans.
Of course, all this is just speculation at the moment and there is no substantive evidence.
Nisha obviously didn’t know what was going on in Zuo Si’s mind at this moment. She raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the night sky, and said to herself: “No, I’m not worried about the seal; Want to completely eliminate the threat of those twisted monsters to Zendikar?
Since you told me about the sky god Imeri, the ocean god Ula and After the truth about Kosi, the God of Change, I suddenly recalled that when I was in contact with forest spirits and nature, I occasionally saw some very terrifying visions.
In the fantasy, Zendikar was destroyed. Thick and huge tentacles were wrapped around each other, as if the whole world was wailing in pain
I didn't understand what was going on before, I just felt fear and fear.
But now I understand that it is the will of the world of Zendikar asking for my help, hoping that I can help it deal with these twisted monsters from the dark void. "
Hearing these words, Zuo Si immediately stopped the magic experiment at hand, raised his head and stared at the young elf planeswalker, touched his chin and asked: "So what do you want to do? "
"I think since the three Eldrazi Titans have been imprisoned for thousands of years, if the seal is broken, will they be eager to escape from this prison? That way, wouldn't Zendikar be safe? ”
Nisha carefully said the idea that suddenly struck her just now.
"Pfft hahaha!"
Zuo Si couldn't help but laughed on the spot.
This IQ and logical analysis ability are simply amazing.
At this moment, he was extremely glad that he did not leave the other party in Zendikar, but chose to take him with him.
"You...why are you laughing? Is there something wrong with what I said?" Nissa frowned in confusion.
Zuo Si suppressed a smile and explained: "There are three biggest problems with your idea.
First, why do you assume that the Eldrazi will have the same emotions and way of thinking as you?
And why do you think that this kind of dark void creature that feeds on the world would feel fear and fear?
Secondly, the Eldrazi have memorized the coordinates of Zendikar's time and space, even if they are in the world? They left after the seal was lifted, so why do you think they won't come back again?
After all, Zendikar's mana and vitality are so abundant, it is the most delicious meal for them.
Finally, and most importantly, how dare you pin the safety of the entire world on the cowardice, stupidity, and incompetence of your enemy?
Let me ask you, if the Eldrazi are released, instead of leaving, they begin to devour Zendikar. How are you going to deal with the catastrophe you have caused?
Are you going to tell the residents of Zendikar of all races, who suffered heavy casualties, that you deliberately opened the seal and released the world-destroying monsters, but there is nothing you can do about them? ”
Following a series of questions, Nisha’s face suddenly turned extremely pale, and sweat was flowing down her forehead and cheeks.
You don’t need to ask to know that these questions above She hadn't thought of any of it.
In other words, so far there is no clear concept of what the Eldrazi are.
As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless.
The current Nissa perfectly proves this point.
In fact, life forms like the Eldrazi have long exceeded the limits of what most intelligent creatures can recognize. It is even possible that their existence itself is part of the birth and annihilation cycle of the multiverse.
In this regard, Zuo Si is completely on the side of the spirit dragon Wujin, believing that it is better for the Eldrazi to be sealed instead of taking huge unknown risks to eliminate them.
In addition, he also seriously doubted that Kozilek and Ulamog, who were killed in the original plot, were not really dead at all, but simply disappeared temporarily or returned to the dark void to be reborn.
This can be glimpsed from Emrakul's strange reaction when he later asked to be sealed on the Innistrad moon.
"Okay, I think I understand what you mean. Until there is a better and foolproof solution, maintaining the seal without being destroyed is the best way to deal with it."
After seven or eight minutes of silence, Nisha finally realized what mistake she had made and couldn't help showing a very frustrated and bitter expression.
However, her reaction made Zuo Si secretly breathe a sigh of relief and comforted him calmly: "Don't be discouraged. Although your idea is a little naive, it doesn't mean that there is no merit at all. ”
"What do you mean?" Nisha was stunned for a moment.
"What I mean is, if you can think of a safe way to directly lead the three Eldrazi Titans to other time and space, it wouldn't be a big deal even if you break the seal and let them out." Zuo Si said meaningfully. replied.
“Leading to another time and space?!”
Nissa’s eyes shone slightly, as if she saw the hope of resolving the crisis in her hometown of Zendikar once and for all.
Zuo Si smiled maliciously and nodded; "That's right. I happen to know two places, one is called the Bottomless Abyss, and the other is called Baator Hell. The former is inhabited by a group of extremely chaotic and evil demons. , and the latter is inhabited by cunning demons, all well-suited to banishing and sealing away the Eldrazi.”
It was obvious that after careful consideration over the past few days, he had come up with his own solution for how to deal with the three Eldrazi Titans.
First of all, you must first find a way to learn the full set of magic runes used by the spirit dragon Ugin to trap the Eldrazi, then go to hell or the abyss to summon the Eldrazi larvae, and actively cancel the Eye of Ugin. Land sign.
Secondly, open the seal to release the three Eldrazi Titans of Zendikar, allowing them to descend directly on the main battlefield of the bloody battle, and watch the Eldrazi and their descendants create battles with demons and demon blood. spell.
The bloody battle in the future may gradually change from tit-for-tat confrontation between two sides to a three-party melee.
Zuo Si, who is not afraid of chaos when watching the excitement, even wants to see if the twisted power of the Eldrazi from the dark void can have some interesting effects on devils and devils who are also extremely evil.
Of course, if the power of the Eldrazi is too strong and crushes both the Hell Demon and the Abyss Demon, he can also seal them in that evil and filthy land later.
In the end, through this successful summons, Zuo Si was able to demonstrate his destructive power to the gods of Faerûn, and firmly hold control of the three Eldrazi Titans in his hands. , turning it from a natural disaster into a deterrent weapon similar to a nuclear bomb.
It must be said that the Eldrazi, a terrifying void creature that lives on devouring the world, is used as a weapon to threaten and intimidate the gods...
Zuo Si is probably the only one with such a crazy idea. Only those who have no fear of God can do this.
But Nissa obviously doesn't care about this. She only wants to get rid of the Eldrazi who have caused strong rejection in the world of Zendikar, so she is full of interest in this proposal.
The two of them sat in the hotel room talking until midnight.
Until Nisha started to feel sleepy and had to yawn and lie down on the bed to sleep.
When the young elf planeswalker completely lost his perception of the outside world, Zuo Si stood up and used magic to transform into a spirit body, and walked directly through the wall to the empty street.
He did not make any stop, but went straight to the garden square outside the cathedral.
As a result, as soon as his feet landed on the ground, he immediately saw a lilac figure appear in front of him out of thin air.
Along with this figure, there were almost a hundred ghouls emerging from the darkness.
You must know that these ghouls are different from the low-level ghouls of Faerûn. Not only are they as huge as adult lions, but each one is filled with astonishing black negative energy, and their teeth are and claws contain a terrible curse.
Faced with this situation, Zuo Si not only did not panic at all, but instead smiled and said hello first: "Good evening, Ms. Liliana, the grand welcome ceremony you carefully prepared really made me feel... I'm flattered. But don't worry, I'm not your enemy, at least not yet."
"Who do you know my name?"
Lilliana slowly emerged from the darkness. He walked out with strong curiosity in his eyes.
Because through the moonlight, she had clearly seen the other person's young, even young face, and she could guarantee that the two of them had never met before.
"Because we have a common friend - Jace Beleren."
As he said that, Zuo Si took out the only partner card he had in hand and asked this thoughtful man The female planeswalker showed it off.
In an instant!
The original strong hostility in Liliana's eyes suddenly faded a lot, and she raised her hand to stop the ghouls from approaching any further. She touched her chin and asked with interest: "How come you have a hero?" Si’s partner card? As far as I know, he never signs such an enforceable contract with others?”
"There are always exceptions to everything. What's more, he really owes me a big favor." Zuo Si blinked his eyes pretending to be mysterious.
Liliana nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, let me first believe that you are Jace's friend. But how do you know that I am looking for the demon Jize? You need to know about I have never revealed anything about this matter to Jace."
Zuo Si replied with a half-smile: "Because it is not a secret at all when it comes to hunting down the demon creditor. He is not the first, and he will definitely not be the last. Everyone who obtains power from the devil through a contract but does not want to pay the price will try to kill the devil and regain his soul through some methods. The thing is, some people succeed, and some people fail.”
“You mean I will fail?”
Lilliana is so smart, she realizes it all at once. Here comes the subtext of these words.
"Isn't it? In other words, do you still remember the specific terms of the contract you signed? Especially the part about the intermediary?" Zuo Si reminded with a smile.
And these words immediately made Liliana feel that something was not quite right. She lowered her head and began to think hard.
About three to five minutes later, she suddenly raised her head, with an expression of shock and disbelief on her face: "This...how is this possible! If I kill all the creditors, as a middleman Nico Bolas will gain ownership of my soul?"
"Ah! It seems you finally noticed it," Zuo Si teased with a slightly mocking tone.
Although Liliana often seems to have a lot of intentions, she is cunning and good at betrayal, and she is an out-and-out egoist.
But in fact, her brain is really not good enough.
Especially the contract that the old dragon Nicol Bolas helped him sign with the four demons. In fact, there was a huge pit buried in it.
Kiliana, on the other hand, only noticed that her soul would be divided among four demons after her death, and did not pay close attention to the last item. If the four creditors died, then the ownership of her soul would automatically belong to her. Owned by Nicol Bolas, the middleman.
To be so careless when signing a contract involving the ownership of one's own soul, one can imagine the true level of intelligence of this woman.
In Zuo Si’s opinion, her rank is only a little higher than Nisha’s.
However, Nissa's advantage is that she has been recognized by the will of the planet Zendikar.
Once the ability is fully awakened, even Nicol Bolas may not be able to get any benefits when fighting at home.
Where's Liliana?
In addition to making crazy sacrifices with the help of [Chain Veil], there is not even a real trump card.
“Since you know so many secrets, is there any way to help me get my soul back from Nicol Bolas?”
Liliana subconsciously took two steps forward and grabbed one of Zuo Si's arms, just like a drowning person trying to grab the last life-saving straw.
As one of the very few planeswalkers who have dealt with Nicol Bolas, she knows the power and cunning of this old dragon better than anyone else, so she can only hope for this sudden The young man who appeared in front of him.
Zuo Si calmly used a little force to break away from the other party's entanglement, and responded in a slightly playful tone: "Of course there are ways. But the problem is that as a user of black mana, you should know best. , if you want to gain powerful power, you must pay a sufficient price. Let me take a huge risk to confront a powerful elder dragon planeswalker who has lived for who knows how many years. Can you afford this heavy price? ?”
“What do you want from me?” Liliana took a step back warily.
Because at this moment, the aggression revealed in Zuo Si's eyes made her feel strongly uneasy about being targeted by a hunter.
"What I want to get is very simple, that is you. In other words, except you, nothing else is enough to offset the huge risks I need to take to participate. Of course, the final choice is still in your hands "
After that, Zuo Si stretched out his right hand and brushed the other person's eyebrows, cheeks, ears, chin, neck, arms, and even the large area of exposed skin above the low-cut long skirt in a very frivolous movement. and convex hemisphere.
Of course, this is not to take advantage or be disrespectful, but to feel the complex and evil magic lines hidden under the skin.
It is these lines that give Liliana the youth, beauty and vitality that are not in line with her old age, as well as almost endless vitality.
As a person with extraordinary curiosity and desire to learn, Zuo Si has never been so picky about the types of magic and its good and evil tendencies.
As long as he finds it useful, he will find a way to successfully copy even the spell-like abilities of the Eldrazi, and then store them in his huge spell warehouse for emergencies.
Lilliana stood there without moving, letting the hand roam freely on her body.
Having lived for hundreds of years, she could easily tell that what was revealed in the other person's eyes was not the primitive desires and impulses, but the feeling that the demon Kesuofei had peeled off his old skin and left it behind. Interested in those magical marks on the surface.
She once had this strong thirst for knowledge and curiosity.
The two stared at each other like this for five minutes. Liliana, who was motionless, suddenly pursed her lips and revealed an amazing smile.
I saw her twisting her slender waist and walking closer, whispering in Zuo Si's ear in a seductive voice: "You want to get me? What kind of getting are you referring to? If it is that kind of aspect, I am now That will satisfy you.”
But unfortunately, Liliana’s little trick may be effective for Jace Belian, who is seriously lacking in love experience, but it is really a bit clumsy for Zuo Si. .
The latter didn't even have the slightest reaction, he just turned his head and stared at her with a pair of extremely cold eyes.
Realizing that her tried-and-tested technique had failed, Liliana immediately put on another face, took two steps back at a very fast speed, then raised her hand and released a ball of energy that caused all around her to The ghouls all entered an inexplicable state of excitement and began to make creepy growls.
A Skitarii patrol heard the sound and wanted to come over to check the situation, but was torn into pieces in less than five seconds, without even a piece of flesh left.
Seeing this scene, Zuo Si couldn't help but sneered and asked: "It seems you are planning to use force?" "There is no way, you forced me to do this."
Lillian Na held her chest and acted like an injured girl.
"In that case, let's have some fun. You must know that I am an expert in dealing with undead creatures."
With the last word blurted out , one of Zuo Si's hands was already on the holy sword.
The next second...
Lilliana issued an attack order to the ghouls she controlled.
The four at the front immediately opened their bloody mouths and sharp claws, trying to knock the target to the ground from different angles, replicating the tactics used to massacre the Skitarii squad just now.
But before they could rush forward, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared out of thin air.
In an instant!
The terrifying positive energy storm spread out in all directions with Zuo Si as the center, sweeping everything around him in less than two or three seconds.
Hundreds of ghouls strengthened by black energy were as fragile as clay in the face of this terrifying positive energy storm. They burst from the inside of their bodies and turned into balls. A blazing fireball.
Even Liliana herself couldn't help but let out a piercing scream, then covered her eyes and backed away repeatedly. Large lavender complex lines appeared on the surface of her body, covering almost every part of her body from head to toe. A corner.
It's just that unlike how she usually gets power from these magic lines, this time all the lines brought her only indescribable pain.
Dark red blood slowly flowed out along the gaps in the forehead lines, forming a strange tear line on both sides of the cheeks.
When everything was finally over and she struggled to get up from the ground, she discovered that Zuo Si had a shining golden sword in his hand.
"God...artifact?" Liliana asked in a slightly frightened tone.
Zuo Si replied casually: "Barely so. This is a sacred weapon with a special restraint effect on undead creatures.
No matter how many ghouls you summon, There is no point in it.
I sincerely suggest that you don't continue to make meaningless attempts.
Apart from increasing my own pain, that would not pose even the slightest threat to me.
Also, you have about five minutes to make a decision before more Skitarii arrive. "
There is no doubt that the powerful holy sword in Zuo Si's hand that restrained undead creatures made Liliana, who is good at summoning and resurrecting large numbers of undead creatures to drown the enemy, taste the feeling of being helpless for the first time.
Especially the positive energy storm that swept everything, even causing some damage to her body and the magic lines obtained from the devil's contract.
When things have reached this point, it is definitely not possible to be tough. .
But Liliana was unwilling to give up and let Nicol Bolas control her soul.
Finally, after two minutes of hesitation and struggle, she finally made up her mind and said with gritted teeth: "I agree to your conditions! As long as you can get more help from Nicol Bolas and the four demons Take my soul back in your hands, I will always be loyal to you and obey every order you give."
"Very good! A wise man is a hero, and you really did not disappoint me, dear Lillian. Na." Zuo Si praised with a smile.
Because the reaction of the woman in front of him was completely expected by him.
After all, you can't expect a guy who traded his soul for immortality to refuse to use himself as a bargaining chip to trade again.
"You've got what you want, can you tell me the whole plan now?" Liliana asked impatiently.
Zuo Si shrugged: "Actually, the plan is very simple. Since Nicol Bolas is taking advantage of the loopholes in the contract, why can't we?
You can kill him completely Three of the four demons must be killed, but the body must be kept relatively intact and sealed to ensure that it can be resurrected at any time
In this way, when the fourth one is killed. When the demon dies, Nicol Bolas will think his scheme has succeeded.
He will then find you and demand your loyalty as his master.
What you have to do is to put on a submissive face, break into Nicol Bolas, and find out what kind of conspiracy he is brewing.
After investigating everything, we will gather our allies to launch a fatal blow at the critical moment and destroy his ambitions and lives together.
Of course, I will resurrect the demon before I act, to ensure that Nicol Bolas can no longer control your soul.
I believe that when the old dragon found out that he was being tricked, the expression on his face would be very exciting, wouldn’t it? ”
After hearing these words, Liliana fell into silence, and even the look she looked at Zuo Si revealed a hint of awe and fear.
She suddenly had a feeling that the young human planeswalker in front of her was actually using some unknown means to maintain a youthful appearance like herself, and his inner soul must be hundreds or even thousands of years old. Yin ratio.
Otherwise, it would be even more terrifying.
But it is undeniable that the feasibility of this plan is really high.
Once Nicol Bolas is dead, only one remaining demon holds Liliana's soul.
The only problem is that this last demon will always be in Zuo Si's hands and become the Sword of Damocles hanging over her head.
In other words, after a lot of work, the best result she could get was to change from a chess piece in the hands of Nicol Bolas to a chess piece in the hands of another person, nothing more.
The difference is that Zuo Si did not use any deceptive means, but openly laid out all transactions.
After thinking about all this, Liliana took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm. She raised her head and said with a serious expression: "I need a guarantee! A guarantee that you will not burn bridges or treat me as a victim halfway. The guarantee of abandonment. "
"Don't tell me that I am signing a partnership contract. I will not give the right to summon myself at will to anyone."
Zuo Si gave up the other party's delusions without politeness.
You must know that once such a contract is concluded, it is equivalent to digging a big hole for oneself.
You have no idea when the opponent will use it, and you can't resist the powerful power generated by the resonance of the two sparks at the moment the card is activated.
Normally, when a planeswalker summons another planeswalker, it often means falling into a hard battle or a huge crisis.
So Zuo Si would rather pay high remuneration than sign a partnership contract with others.
"Then give me an artifact that can save your life. You should have many powerful magic items and artifacts on your body, right?"
While saying this, Liliana's eyes began to look up and down at the things Zuo Si was wearing, especially the dense rings on her fingers and the weapons hanging on her waist.
"Artifact? Ah! This is not a big problem. Just as it happens, I have a time stopping ring here. After activation, it can allow you to enter a state of time acceleration for ten seconds to half a minute. Here During this period, others around me seemed to be at a standstill. I think it should be enough to escape at the critical moment."
As he said that, Zuo Si casually pulled out a treasure card from his card library and handed it over. .
You don’t need to ask to know that this thing is not considered an artifact in Faerûn at all. It is at most one of the top magic items. It allows the wearer to successfully stop time once, and then it is completely scrapped.
However, because the planeswalker card has the characteristic of rebirth, it will be re-added to the card library after a while.
So using this mechanism, Zuo Si made a lot of similar cost-effective things in private, and they finally came in handy today.
In fact, in terms of standards for artifacts, the universe in Faerûn has completely different standards from this one.
The standard for the former is obviously higher. Normally, only things made by gods with divine power are qualified to be called artifacts. Those made by legendary mages can only be called sub-artifacts.
But the standards for the latter are much lower. As long as they are powerful enough magic items and treasures, they will be collectively called artifacts.
“Time stops? You can also do time magic!”
Liliana took the card with a surprised expression on her face.
Zuo Si smiled and responded: "Haha, my biggest advantage is that I am good at learning. I know a little bit about any magic, including the necromancy magic that you are best at."
Liliana quickly turned the card into a ring and carefully put it on the ring finger of her left hand. Feeling the magical power flowing inside, she nodded with satisfaction: "It is indeed an incredible artifact. I Now I’m beginning to believe in your sincerity. The last question is, where is the demon Thornze hidden? I’ve searched almost all over Innistrad, but I haven’t found his whereabouts.”
“See Da. Is that the huge silver sphere above the church? It's called a prison cellar. It's a prison for special prisoners. The devil you're looking for is currently imprisoned in it together with Archangel Avacyn." Zuo Si said bluntly. got the answer.
“What?”
Liliana was obviously taken aback. She raised her head and looked at the place surrounded by the stone pillars of the cathedral, and her whole body fell into a daze.
She couldn't believe in her dreams that one of the creditors she was looking for so hard was actually in such a conspicuous place.
Just when this woman who was good at using necromancy magic was about to summon an army of undead to rush in and destroy the prison cellar, a burst of noisy footsteps and shouts suddenly came from a distance.
You don’t need to ask to know that the skitarii who just saw the Holy Sword releasing a storm of divine energy are finally coming from all directions.
Seeing this, Zuo Si immediately said with a slightly regretful tone: "It seems that our conversation tonight can only end here."
"That's it? Why? Aren't you going to break into the prison cellar with me and arrest Jize?" Liliana asked with a puzzled look on her face.
She didn't think that a mere few hundred or so skitarii could pose any threat to herself and this mysterious planeswalker who had always remained enigmatic.
"Don't worry, now is not the time. Didn't you hear when you entered Serban City that there is a large group of undead creatures outside now coming towards the Holy City? Wait until this crisis is over. It's not too late to take action." Zuo Si casually gave a reason.
But Liliana curled her lips with disdain: "What kind of crisis? It's just a little fight between a pair of crazy siblings. If you think they are an eyesore, I can summon one right now. The ghoul army slaughtered them all."
"No, no, no, I think you misunderstood something. I have no interest in the siblings Kisha and Kirav. I just want to know the residence of the undead genius Ludvi from Kirav’s mouth.”
After saying this, Zuo Si ignored the other party's reaction, directly blessed himself with an invisibility magic and disappeared.
Lilliana also released a ball of black smoke from her fingers, covering herself and disappearing into the darkness.
When the Skitarii arrived, they could only see the large area around them that had been destroyed by the positive energy storm, and there was no trace of the burnt residue of the ghoul at all.
"Judge... Lord Judge! Look! This extremely sacred energy residue must be a trace of the arrival of an angel, maybe it is the Archangel Avacyn herself. She has not abandoned mankind! And we devout believers!" A knight wearing plate armor shouted excitedly.
Another knight also echoed with gleaming eyes: "That's right! Except for the Archangel Avacyn, no creature can release such a powerful and amazing sacred power. I think we must ask the bishop immediately If you come to host a prayer ceremony, you might be able to see the spectacular sight of angels coming together again.”
But before the judge had time to make a judgment, a dazzling bright fire suddenly shot into the sky from the direction of the city gate, followed by the early warning bell tower that started beating like crazy.
Soon, a soldier covered in blood and riding a horse rushed into the street at a very fast speed, roaring at the top of his lungs: "Close the city gate! Close the city gate quickly! That army of undead creatures is coming. ! The entire army we sent has been wiped out!"
"How is this possible?"
"Oh my god! "
"Are you kidding? This is a holy city! Is the end of the world really coming? "
Although it was already midnight, most of the residents were lying in bed and asleep.
But the sudden bells and roars still woke them up from their sleep.
Especially the residents who lived near the main gate, put on their clothes and bravely ran to the city wall to take a look outside. They were immediately frightened by the frightening eyes shining in the dark. pants.
On the road leading to Serban City, thousands of zombies and modified and stitched corpse-embedded creatures were pouring towards the city gate at an extremely fast speed. The number was so large that one could hardly see it at a glance. No end in sight.
Especially the guys at the front, all wearing standard armor, they looked like the Skitarii that had just assembled for the expedition not long ago.
But at this moment, they have changed from the protectors of mankind to the undead creatures that slaughter mankind.
And because they died not long ago, their physical quality is far stronger than that of ordinary humans, so the threat they pose is far more terrifying than those corpses dug out of the coffins of ordinary civilians.
If it were just an astonishing number, with the towering walls, towers and mountains of war supplies in the Holy City, there was no need to be afraid.
Anyway, even zombies have to climb up from under the city wall before they can threaten the soldiers standing above.
But in addition to ordinary zombies, there are hundreds of giant corpse-embedded creatures that are three to four meters tall and are made up of several or even a dozen living and moving animals.
Some of them are holding heavy battering rams, some are wielding machetes several meters long, and some are dragging chains full of spikes, with dark red blood and minced meat even remaining on them.
Among all the corpse-embedded creatures, there is a guy equipped with a huge hook on one arm that stands out.
Because on its shoulders, a young and beautiful human woman sat.
The woman was wearing a sexy black long skirt with hollow patterns, but the hem of the skirt had been completely broken into strands of cloth due to long-term grinding. A pair of fair and slender thighs rested on the stinky corpse, and the feet were stained with blood red color.
The weirdest thing is that, surrounded by a group of "corpses", she not only showed no trace of fear, but actually laughed happily. While laughing, she waved her arms to urge the undead army to move faster. The entire city of Thraben must be wiped out before dawn.
You don't need to ask to know that this hysterically crazy woman is none other than Kisha, the sister of the psychotic brother-sister duo.
Obviously, in the previous battle, she had successfully massacred more than 3,000 Skitarii soldiers, and now she was planning to capture this former hometown in one go and turn all the living people into dead people.
Since the undead have no concept of fatigue, the undead army commanded by Kisha moves very fast.
Even before the skitarii had finished gathering behind the city gate, the vanguard troops rushed forward with a roar.
Although the guards on the city wall tried their best to shoot arrows, throw stones, roll logs and javelins, trying to buy time for the follow-up troops to arrive.
But unfortunately, since the undead have no vital points, even if they are hit or shot, they will only be slightly injured and can still crawl forward.
Especially the corpse-embedded creature holding a huge iron hook. It directly took up the only weapon in its hand and opened a crack in the hardwood city gate with a bang.
Other strong corpse-embedded creatures followed closely behind, using heavy hammers and axes to continuously expand the gap.
After a while, the gate of Serban City was smashed to pieces.
Countless undead creatures began to pour in crazily, attacking every living thing they could see along the way.
