the only savior

Chapter 984 A War Without a Winner
Urbis died, he was not killed by Zhang Xiaoman's attack, but by the god in the sky.

At the last moment of his life, the orc king suddenly showed a very painful expression.

The mark on his forehead shines brightly, just like the previous Org Tanron, the essence of his life was dedicated to the being in the sky through the prismatic mark.

It's just that because of the previous undead spell, Urbis didn't have much power left in his body, and this sacrifice only lasted for a few seconds before it was over.

As if enraged by such a rare life essence, a dazzling brilliance suddenly came from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, while everyone was watching in astonishment, the army of hundreds of thousands of orcs who were fighting against the undead army suddenly stopped their movements.

They seemed to have regained consciousness at this time, and the expressions on their faces were confused for a while, and then turned into boundless pain.

The marks on the foreheads of all the orc warriors became more dazzling, and their vitality was also rapidly draining.

That God of Light actually sacrificed nearly a million orcs in one go in such a way!
Ten seconds, less than ten seconds, all the orc warriors had completely lost their vitality and collapsed to the ground, and the entire battlefield became silent for a while.

"What did he...do...?"

Seeing this scene, McAvey couldn't help shaking his hands slightly.

The scene of killing millions of troops at the same time with one blow is so shocking that people can't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

"These orcs all have that mark on their foreheads. He should have absorbed their vitality through some special method."

Looking at the fallen corpses in the field, Zhang Xiaoman analyzed:

"These orcs accepted Lulabada's power, but at the same time their lives were controlled by the other party. This is really a huge price."

"Perhaps, that God of Light didn't intend to let them go from the very beginning. What he needs is the essence of life. No matter whether Urbis will succeed or not, he will die in the end. The same goes for these orc warriors..."

By this time, everyone had already realized what kind of an evil existence that god who was enshrined in the Church of Light by the human race, the God of Light who claimed to represent all holy light and hope, was.

"What are we... in their eyes..."

Arcatus muttered to himself, looking at the fallen orcs with an unbelievably bewildered expression in his eyes.

By this time, everyone no longer had the joy of victory, because their war was meaningless at all.

It's like some humans like to put two domestic animals in the same cage and watch them fight each other.

When the fight is over, no matter which side it is, they cannot escape being made into delicious food.

In this war, there is no winner at all.

Zhang Xiaoman was only silent for a moment, then quickly recovered.

In fact, he doesn't have much empathy for these people's situations.

After all, he is not an aborigine in this world, so he cannot feel the despair from their perspective.

Moreover, unlike McAvey and others, he already has some guesses about the truth of this world, and he has already made mental preparations.

Zhang Xiaoman did not tell the so-called truth immediately, on the one hand, he still has no way to confirm the authenticity of this guess.

On the other hand, he was afraid that if he just said it, these people might not be so easy to accept.

Putting aside these thoughts in his mind, he walked slowly to Urbis' body, intending to resurrect him as an undead warrior through undead spells.

With the opponent's strength, he should be able to retain a high level of sanity after resurrection, just like Alculus.

At that time, I and others will naturally be able to know what they have experienced through the other party.

The words of Urbis before his death still caused a lot of speculation.

"If you know my fear, you must be able to understand my pain..."

Zhang Xiaoman gently repeated the other party's words, thinking to himself.

What kind of fear was it that made him make such a choice.

"Could it be possible that this Beastman King actually knew the truth? If that's the case, then it's not unreasonable..."

Zhang Xiaoman felt that things might indeed be as he had guessed.

It was precisely because Urbis knew the truth of this world that he made such a choice.

Of course, no matter how confident you are in guessing, it is not as accurate and true as practice.

He quickly constructed a model of necromancy and cast it on Urbis' body.

Others also saw this scene, no one stopped him, everyone was waiting for him to revive the corpse.

They also want to know what Urbis has experienced, so they choose to betray themselves and others.

As the icy blue light gradually sank into Urbis' body, everyone couldn't help holding their breath.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Time passed slowly, but Urbis' body did not change at all.

Zhang Xiaoman frowned, he felt something different.

"He seems...to have decayed..."

In the team, Hilna, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

She stared at Urbis' body, with deep doubts in her eyes.

"Corrupt? What does that mean?"

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the other party.

Hilna also looked at him with some puzzlement at this time.

It seems a bit puzzled why this powerful necromancer doesn't know the word decay.

However, her personality did not make her in the habit of asking more questions, but she directly opened her mouth and gave the answer.

"Corruption is what we call undead creatures, and it usually happens to those low-level undead who are not conscious."

"Their bodies were resurrected under the control of undead spells, but this resurrection is not permanent, but has time."

"Generally speaking, after a relatively long period of time, these undead will begin to decay, their bodies will gradually lose their mobility, and finally turn into a real corpse, which can no longer be resurrected..."

Hilna said a lot in one breath, which also attracted the attention of McAvey and others. Everyone had never seen her say so many words at once.

The undead princess finally turned her eyes back to Urbis' body.

"I didn't feel the slightest breath of death from his body. His body was completely decayed and could not be resurrected by undead spells."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman stared at the orc's withered and stiff body, feeling the same thing, and found that it was indeed what Hilna said.

The current Urbis feels to himself, not like a corpse at all, but a piece of dead wood, a piece of rock, without any breath of life, nor any breath of death.

How can it be possible to resurrect a stone with necromancy?
Immediately, he found several orc warriors who had been sucked life essence and died, and tried to revive them in the same way, but all of them failed in the end.

"The lives sacrificed by these marks of light will not be able to be resurrected using undead spells..."

Zhang Xiaoman finally came to a conclusion.

This result disappointed everyone.

The secret that Urbis knew, they might not be able to know for the time being.

And there are millions of orc warriors on the scene. If they can't be resurrected, it means that the number of undead legions will be reduced by millions.

But Zhang Xiaoman has no regrets about this.
Although he had researched the undead spell by mistake, he had no intention of continuing to develop in this direction.

Compared with strengthening himself, this kind of summoning flow, and the routine of resurrecting corpses, he is not too interested in.

Moreover, among the enemies that I and the others are facing now, there is a guy called the God of Light.

He has already felt the characteristics of that power from the several attacks launched by the opponent, which has a strong "positive energy", which is similar to the structure of the holy light.

This kind of structure is very restrained from undead spells. Even if you resurrect an army of undead, I'm afraid it will not be as bright as others.

Zhang Xiaoman thought for a while, and gave instructions to all the undead warriors to bury the corpses of the orc warriors on the spot, and then dug a hole himself.

Not long after, the army of millions of undead and the corpses on the ground disappeared, and they were all buried deep in the ground.

So many corpses and undead creatures are quite appropriate to put here, so Zhang Xiaoman simply chose to bury them all clean.

"I will repair this part of the city wall later. With its protection and those undead soldiers, the orc army should not be able to rush out of the North Wind Grassland in the future."

Zhang Xiaoman told McAvey and the others about his plan, and it was considered a favor.

The failure of the orcs this time does not mean that their race is extinct.

The Wall of Sighs and the army of undead underground here also provide a barrier for human beings to prevent possible future wars.

Of course, these low-level undead have a shelf life, maybe in a few decades, they will be completely corrupted and lose their ability to move.

But the Wall of Sighs will always stand here and become a powerful defense for the human race against the orcs.

The battle is over, but the war has not stopped, the next will be the battle of gods between mortals and gods.

Everyone returned to Kuhan City from the battlefield, and all the soldiers began to rest and rectify.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't deliberately ask about the losses in this battle, he knew that it must be a worrying figure.

However, he was not stingy when he could help.

Zhang Xiaoman came to the area where the Guangming Church was located, where the wounded soldiers were most concentrated.

He released several large-scale healing spells here, rescuing some seriously injured people who should have died from the embrace of death.

This move made his name once again remembered by everyone, and now the word "Pole Star" has become the most admirable existence in the entire Kuhan City.

He used the spell of light to heal countless wounded soldiers, created a wall of sighs comparable to miracles, singled out the entire black dragon army, and resurrected the army of millions of undead to fight against the entire orc tribe.

All these actions made people rush to the extreme unbelievable.

These ordinary soldiers didn't have the habit of thinking about why light spells and undead spells would appear on one person at the same time.

They just remember everything that the other party has done with gratitude.

The prestige of the name Pole Star in the minds of the Union soldiers has been rocketed from obscurity to worship.

Crowds cheering for the victory of the war can be seen everywhere in the tavern and on the square.

The bard chanted the legendary experience of Pole Star, and a large number of revised and processed stories were circulated, so that every listener could listen with relish and never get tired of it.

The cloud of war suddenly lifted from the top of the head, which is undoubtedly the most exciting thing for many ordinary people who don't know the truth about the festival of God's Advent.

It is a pity that the casualties caused by this war were indeed too serious. Many people had relatives and friends who died in the battle.

Everyone also lost the mood to celebrate the Advent of God.

I just used some unique festive materials to decorate the door, which is counted as a commemoration of this special day.

Zhang Xiaoman and a group of Breakers gathered in the temple, discussing the next action plan.

Now there is only the last day left before the Advent of the Gods, that is, the day after tomorrow, the terrifying disaster predicted by McAvey will befall this continent.

After going through so much, everyone now has no doubts about the prophecy of this human saint magister.

The tragedies of those orcs were vivid in their minds, and the last words of Urbis before his death often echoed in their ears.

Coupled with the flames falling from the sky, all of these happened in front of our eyes, so naturally there is no need for controversy.

"Lurabada, the God of Light, has moved us several times to attack us, but even the destruction of the orc army did not allow him to come in person..."

On the long table, Zhang Xiaoman tapped the table with his fingers, and began to analyze the form of this war.

"I think that the Advent of the Gods is very likely to be the breaking day of these gods. Maybe there is some kind of power that we don't know that binds them, or protects us, so that they cannot easily go down to the realm..."

"So, Pole Star, what do you mean...the God's Advent Festival every 300 years, when the restrictions are lifted, they can descend in person on this day, instead of simply launching an attack through the sky fire..."

Arcatus asked.

Zhang Xiaoman saved his life, and the arch druid's attitude towards him now can be described as a 180-degree reversal.

"Yes, on this point, I believe His Excellency Le Centra has already made a prophecy."

Zhang Xiaoman nodded yes.

"However, even if we are clear on this point now, so what...the God's Advent Festival will arrive the day after tomorrow, and we have no way to make other preparations..."

Regina the Elf Queen worried.

Zhang Xiaoman glanced at her, pondered for a moment, and then said something that surprised everyone.

"Maybe, we don't have to wait until they come to us, we can take the initiative to find them..."
