"Hold on! No one is allowed to retreat! I will kill anyone who dares to retreat!"
A skitarii knight waved the sharp sword in his hand, cut off a putrid corpse that rushed towards him, and then roared fiercely at the ordinary soldiers who were rapidly routing.
But unfortunately, once something like morale collapses, it is almost impossible to recover it in a short time.
What's more, what the Skitarii have to face at this moment is not an ordinary enemy at all, but a group of undead and corpse-embedded creatures that don't know what death and fear are.
Especially the latter, who often look unusually tall and ferocious, and the exaggerated giant weapons in their hands can cut several ordinary soldiers into pieces with one blow, which is extremely cruel.
Coupled with the loss of the divine protection granted by Archangel Avacyn, many of the original abilities to restrain evil have become unusable, so collapse is naturally inevitable.
Humble!
Poor!
Weak!
Helpless!
At this moment, most of the ordinary Skitarii soldiers fled and were hunted down and slaughtered by undead creatures. This is the most realistic portrayal of mankind facing darkness and evil forces in Innistrad's time and space.
In addition to trying their best to escape, the only thing they can do is to cry out in agony and despair before dying.
"Ah ha ha ha ha! Come on! My little cuties! Kill all these living people who are in the way!"
Looking at the sight of corpses strewn in front of him, Kisha, as a ghoul shepherd, not only did not feel any discomfort, but instead became more excited and manic as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He kept pulling up the dead corpses, and then
A full-scale attack was launched on the streets and houses of Thraben City.
It is not difficult to see from that twisted and morbid face that her mind was no longer human long ago, but a monster in human skin.
Almost at the same time, Kirav, the younger brother of the splicer, had led a group of corpse-embedded creatures into the cemetery and began to unscrupulously dig up the massive corpses buried there, with unparalleled excitement and fanaticism in his eyes.
You must know that Thraben City has the largest blessed cemetery in the entire Innistrad space and time, and it is also the only place that can ensure that the buried dead will not be resurrected by the ubiquitous black death energy.
Therefore, anyone who has a little bit of property will hope to be buried here after his death.
Accumulated over hundreds of years, the number of buried corpses has probably exceeded everyone's imagination.
But now, everything has become a piece of fat in the mouths of these crazy siblings.
Obviously, in the eyes of Kisha and Kirav, living people are not as useful as corpses.
If they could do it, they wouldn't mind killing all the living people in Innistrad.
"Human beings in this world really live a miserable life. Even if they are threatened by werewolves, vampires and demons all day long, there are often some weird lunatics produced inside..."
Zuo Si stood on the roof of a house, looking down at the tragedy that was happening near the city gate, and couldn't help but sigh.
To be honest, he really didn't understand why his siblings, who were born in a religious aristocratic family in Serban City and had never received any external stimulation since childhood, ended up embarking on such a path.
Is this also the influence of Innistrad's ubiquitous black mana?
Or is there some genetic flaw between the two of them, making them cold-blooded or unable to empathize with others around them?
Or is it a natural antisocial personality?
No matter what the reason is, the current cognitive and mental state of the siblings can no longer be called "human beings".
"Are you going to kill them yourself?" Diary suddenly asked.
"Kill? No, that would be too wasteful. Although Innistrad's wight herders are far less flexible and versatile than Faerun's necromancers, they have a wide range of unrestricted control and ability to resurrect the dead.
The ability does have its merits. I plan to capture this crazy woman and send it to the floating city to be given to Vanessa and other lichs as a living experimental subject to be studied slowly."
When saying these words, Zuo Si raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a chilling smile.
He believed that with Vanessa's current knowledge and skills in magic, she would be able to give the mad woman in front of her a taste of what it means to "live but not die".
The most important thing is that compared to the level of madness on the spiritual level, Faerun's lichs can get rid of these siblings many times in terms of realm and pattern.
After all, playing with souls is much more advanced than simply playing with corpses.
Thinking of this, Zuo Si jumped deep from the roof.
The moment his feet landed, he saw several soldiers who were being hunted running towards him, followed by a large group of resurrected zombies.
However, unlike those low-level undead creatures in Faerûn that move very slowly and slowly, these zombies move very fast, even running at a speed close to the physiological limit of humans.
In the blink of an eye, one of the soldiers was caught up and knocked down. He could only watch helplessly as the stinky zombie rushed towards him and bit his throat.
But the next second...
An invisible wave of energy swept across the entire street instantly.
The zombie that was baring its teeth and claws one second, emitted a dazzling red light from the inside the next second, and then turned into a blazing flame and was quickly burned away.
When the soldiers who narrowly escaped death saw this, they immediately rolled several times on the ground in fear. When they got up and saw the spectacular scene in front of them, they finally couldn't help but open their mouths in disbelief.
Because in front of him, as far as he could see, countless undead creatures had fallen to the ground at this moment. Like the zombies that almost killed him, they were burned alive to ashes by some unknown force.<
/p>
"Fa...what happened?"
The soldier's pupils dilated violently, contracted, dilated again, and contracted again.
With his meager knowledge and insight, he simply could not understand the miraculous scene in front of him.
Not only him, but the other soldiers who had narrowly escaped death also showed shocked expressions, and subconsciously stopped running away, and all turned their attention to the cathedral standing at the highest point of the city in the distance.
You don't need to ask to know that they all attribute the sudden death of these undead creatures to the power of Archangel Avacyn.
But soon, these soldiers realized that they were wrong, and they were very wrong.
The mad woman standing near the broken city gate enjoying the killing and death found that the number of zombies under her suddenly decreased so much, and immediately sent hundreds more corpses that had just been pulled up.
This time, the soldiers finally saw clearly that it was a young man wearing a hood. He raised his hand and held up a emblem engraved with mysterious symbols and words, and muttered some syllables that they did not understand.
Immediately afterwards, another invisible energy wave that was exactly the same as before swept through the zombies.
In less than a second, these zombies exploded one after another, quickly turning into a pile of gray-white ashes like blazing torches.
Sixth Ring [Return of the Dead]!
This is a magical spell specially used to clean up a large number of low-level undead creatures.
Although it does not have the highest lethality against undead creatures like [Sun Flame Explosion], it is better because its range of influence is large enough and it can affect multiple targets.
As long as the total vitality of the undead creatures within the affected area does not exceed the damage limit of this spell, they will all be destroyed in an instant.
Obviously, the wight herders in Innistrad's time and space simply resurrect corpses and then drive them to serve themselves. They do not have the ability to strengthen undead creatures.
This also means that those zombies that seem to move very fast are actually not much stronger than the low-level zombies in Faerûn in terms of strength and vitality.
As a result, anyone swept by [Return of the Dead] will immediately collapse completely.
"Huh? I think I found an interesting guy!"
Kisha, who was always in a crazy mental state, did not realize the seriousness of the problem. Instead, he regarded the sudden appearance of Zuo Si as an object to be played with, and immediately controlled the army of zombies and corpse-embedded creatures, quickly surrounding the entire street.p>
After confirming that the "prey" had no way to escape, she rode the corpse-embedded creature named "Evil Smile" that was given to her by her brother as a gift, holding a huge iron hook, and slowly came closer and used one hand to
Dragging his chin, he asked: "Who are you? Why did you destroy my toys?"
But unfortunately, Zuo Si obviously didn't feel the need to communicate with this crazy woman, so he didn't even say a word of nonsense and directly threw a [Control the Undead] to "Evil Smile" holding a huge iron hook.
As a result, Kisha, a ghoul shepherd, soon discovered that "Evil Smile", who was originally obedient to his words, suddenly stretched out his other hand to grab her, and then threw her to the ground.p>
Bang!
Everyone only heard a muffled sound, and Kisha, who had been as elegant as a noble lady just now, was thrown face down to the ground.
Not only was the somewhat damaged black gauze skirt torn to pieces, with the entire back, buttocks and thighs completely exposed to the air, but the beautiful face was also completely disfigured by the fall.
The tall nose bridge was completely collapsed at this moment, and half of his teeth were knocked off by the stone ground. His mouth and face were covered with shocking blood stains.
One of the eyeballs flew out of its socket due to the violent impact, leaving a gruesome bloody hole.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!"
The unbearable severe pain made this crazy woman finally couldn't help but scream.
She struggled desperately to get up, picked up the deformed eyeball and stuffed it back.
To be continued...
