Heart of the Castle

Chapter 628 The original vibration, the suspicion of the plague

At the same moment when Sir Rodriguez wiped out the original power of the disease with his catastrophic grudge, a mournful cry full of resentment and incomprehension came from the lighthouse of the port city of Arius, hundreds of kilometers away from the outpost of Moonglade. The strange scream, like the dying wail of some kind of beast, was harsh and ugly, and it swayed straight into the sky.

Burning Dragon King Darija woke up from his deep sleep almost immediately. He listened carefully, and then said to himself, "This is... the voice of the Plague Lord? It sounds like something bad happened... ..." Then a fire erupted around the whole person and disappeared into his room.

Darika's actions did not hesitate at all, but when the light of jumping flames accompanied by a thick sulfur breath appeared on the top floor of the lighthouse, the treacherous lord Shakros had already arrived there.The face of this treacherous lord, who had always been unable to read his thoughts, was still as calm as the surface of a lake without waves, but there was a rare light of surprise in his eyes.

"Brother Dalijia, you came just in time." At the same time as the fire was lit, the treacherous Lord Shakros turned around, and he could see that he had already expected the time and location of the Burning Dragon King, "Brother Yinchen Samael There have been some changes in his original power just now, which caused him a little injury, but he is unwilling to accept my help..."

"If His Majesty Yinchen Samael is willing to accept the help of the deceitful lord, it will make me feel incredible." Burning Dragon King interrupted unceremoniously, and then turned his eyes to the plague lord sitting on the throne of withered bones.

The plague lord, Yinchen Samael, seemed to be in a bad situation. His body was trembling violently. There seemed to be raging waves under the filthy robe. Formed into a ball, black pus and blood flowed down from the ruptured thorns, and the whole person looked like a fusion of deformed reptiles and human corpses.

However, neither Dariga nor Shackles were worried about him. Judging from the aura on the Plague Lord's body, he should not have suffered any serious trauma, but the aura seemed a little floating.

There was a fleeting disgust in Dalijia's eyes, "Your Majesty Yinchen Samuel, what happened just now?"

The Plague Lord stopped shaking, then he snorted heavily, and said through gritted teeth, "Some time ago, I sent a capable man to lead some corpses into the Moonwhispering Forest, hoping to get some information about the outpost garrison in the Moonlight Grove. , but he was easily killed just now, and, and..." His voice became like a moan, and there was obviously more fear in his tone than anger. "Even the original power of the epidemic that I bestowed on that subordinate was wiped out!"

There was an undisguised mocking expression on Dalijia's face, "Is there anything strange about this? Your Majesty Yinchen Samael." Burning Dragon King tilted his head and said, "The troops stationed at the outpost of Moonlight Grove include Two adult emerald dragons, one of which is the emerald dragon king Zhanqing Augustus. His domain power has a highly poisonous effect. Although he can't cure the epidemic, he may be inferior to you when confronted head-on, but he can destroy a trace of your original strength It can still be done.”

"That's not a trace of original power!" Yinchen Samuel responded in a hoarse voice, "My subordinate is very powerful, he is an abyssal great magister who has mastered the ninth ring of dark magic, the task I gave him It is to eliminate the griffin lord, or an important person in a certain human kingdom. In order to ensure that this task can be completed, I temporarily bestowed about one-tenth of the original power on him, so that he can exert the strength similar to that of a legendary strongman. "

"One-tenth of the original power of Brother Yinchen Samael, plus a great magister of the abyss, can indeed compete with some people who have just stepped into the legendary threshold." The treacherous lord Shakros said, "But As Brother Dalijia said, that Emerald Dragon King should be weaker than us, but much stronger than your subordinate, even if he was given part of the original power by you."

The Plague Lord murmured and cursed a few words, then nodded reluctantly, "If the King of the Emerald Dragon personally took action, then I can only be considered unlucky." Then his ugly face twisted into a ball, " However, although I did not witness the battle with my own eyes, judging from the fluctuations generated during the confrontation between the original forces, the duration should be very short, and..."

Yinchen Samael's voice suddenly stopped, a suspicious expression appeared on his face, and then he hurriedly turned his head to the Burning Dragon King Darija, "Your Majesty Darija, the original power possessed by the emerald dragon king What is it?"

Dariga glanced at the Plague Lord thoughtfully, and seemed to be reluctant to answer, "The original power is not necessarily completely related to the race, but I have fought against Zhanqing Augustus, so it is still right." He understands. His original power has natural attributes, and the formed domain is the Emerald Dream with dual effects of healing and poisonous erosion. My flame domain can easily suppress it from the attribute, but your disease domain In terms of attributes, you can’t take advantage of it.”

"The original power of natural attributes?" The Plague Lord repeated in surprise, his tone inevitably tinged with doubt. "Your Majesty Darija, can you be sure that it is the original force of nature?"

"Of course." Burning Dragon King Dalijia frowned, and replied with a tone as hard as a gravel, "I just fought against the Emerald Dragon King a few days ago, and I will definitely not mistake his original power attribute."

"But from my feeling, that kind of original power brings a very cold and dead breath, which is completely different from the breath of natural attributes." After the plague lord finished speaking, he tightly closed his mouth, his thin lips twisted into a black line.

"Could it be the work of another emerald dragon?" the deceitful lord Shakros interjected, "An adult high-ranking dragon can step into the legendary threshold with the power of blood, which makes me envious what."

Burning Dragon King Dariga thought for a while, then shook his head and denied this possibility. "The strength of that emerald dragon is at the bottom of the legendary powerhouses, and it is far behind us... She and the emerald dragon king comprehend the same original power, both belong to natural attributes, and they don't even have their own domain. Formed, it is not much different from those quasi-legends."

"That is to say, there is a third legendary powerhouse in Moonwhisper Forest, and at least his strength will not be inferior to the Emerald Dragon King." Shackles sighed and said, "For us, this is really a terrible situation." news, but there is worse."

"what news?"

"We have given those elves enough time to evacuate, but instead of withdrawing from the Evergreen Tower, they began to build a large number of various fortifications at the outpost of Moonlight Glade. It seems that they want to fight us there." Deceitful The lord shrugged angrily, then turned around and told the demon attendants standing behind him, "You guys, go and get the map."

A succubus serving as a waiter responded with a soft and sweet voice, turned and left. Less than a minute later, he and two companions came back carrying a huge obsidian map.Shacklecross waited until the map was settled in front of him, and then stroked it with his right hand. The lines engraved on the obsidian slab immediately lit up, clearly showing the terrain near the Moonglade outpost.

"Although I don't know what's going on, but up to now, our three-sided encirclement plan has been seen through by those elves." Shackles tapped the edge of the slate map lightly with his fingers, "If there is no Gangduya In the case of Liusi's fiasco, we could turn the entire Moonglade outpost into a sea of ​​flames with the explosive fireballs of a large number of incinerators. But now this way is no longer possible, and the losses of the incinerators are very serious. Together, we can barely make up two standard teams of 200 people."

"Since the burners have suffered heavy losses, can we replace them with other troops?" The Burning Dragon King Darija suggested, "For example, if all the abyss refining demons are gathered, the innate magic they possess is Lianzhu fireball. If they are cast at the same time, the power No worse than two thousand burners."

The treacherous Lord Shacklesh shook his head almost without hesitation, "That's too dangerous. The Burner is just an ordinary demon who is a little higher than cannon fodder. As long as the rift in hell still exists, it's not a pity to die. But the abyss refining Every demon in the abyss is the core strength in our hands, and we must not lose it easily." His expression and tone seemed very sincere, but whether it was the Burning Dragon King Dariga or the Plague Lord Yinchen Samuel remained indifferent.

The demons who are willing to believe in the deceitful lords should be almost dead, not to mention that Shackles is only speaking with sincerity, and even crying bitterly will not move the two demon lords in the slightest.

"What do you mean by danger? Your Majesty Shackles?" the Plague Lord asked hoarsely.

"The elves in the Moon Whisper Forest have a very terrifying sharpshooter unit. If they are equipped with bows and arrows with powerful magic, they can even pose a threat to legendary powerhouses like us. As for the abyss refining demon family, although their strength is in the hands of the Lord Level above, but if you use Lianju Fireball to compete with the arrow rain of the elf sharpshooter unit, the best result is that both sides will lose." Shackles explained, and then he poked heavily with his finger on a protruding part of the Moonwhisper Forest.

"So we had to give up our original plan to encircle us on three sides and jointly attack the Tower of Evergreen, and we had to start a fierce battle with the elves 'here'."

The so-called "here" refers to the Moonglade Outpost.Of course, on the devil's side, the name is not very clear, even the treacherous lord who once manipulated the members of the elf court did not pay much attention.

Burning Dragon King Dalijia looked at the map, as if a flame was burning in his eyes, and his brows were tightly furrowed. "There are wastelands and low hills around this place, which is quite suitable for a large-scale army to launch an offensive, and there is not much advantage to the defensive side with a small number of people. The abyss and hell are under, why did the commander of the elves choose this place to fight us?"

"Your Majesty Dariga, this is exactly what I am confused about." The deceitful lord Shakros shook his head with a wry smile, "My plan should be no problem, and with absolute numerical superiority, force the elves to rely on the evergreen The defensive barrier of the Tower of the Tower was defended, and then the Darija brothers detonated the other two magic barrier centers that had been tampered with in advance, putting the elves into a desperate situation in one fell swoop. It cannot be reversed."

"However, they didn't do that. Instead, they put on a posture of preparing for a decisive battle with us here." Dariga said, while carefully studying every line on the map, as if he wanted to find something that would prompt the elves to do something. Reasons for such an unreasonable decision.

"The area of ​​this bulge looks really small. It can only accommodate five or six thousand soldiers at most, and it doesn't have a powerful magic barrier like the Evergreen Tower." The plague lord Yin who had been silent just now Chen Samel said suddenly, "So the victory is actually quite simple. As long as the three of us make a move together and use our respective domain forces to launch the most violent attack, it will be enough to raze this place to the ground."

"Shoot together?" Darija, the Burning Dragon King, turned his head with a half-smile, and said to the Plague Lord, "Your Majesty Yinchen Samael, do you want to shoot together with me? Aren't you afraid that my flame domain will kill yours?" The plague domain was completely burned?"

Yinchen Samuel's expression froze suddenly, while Shacklesh cried out in a sudden realization.

"Abyss and hell, how could I forget this loophole?" He clenched his fist and punched his head with some self-pity, and made a "snap", "Our domain forces conflict with each other, which makes it impossible for us to Attack at the same time; while the elves have only two adult emerald dragons with domain power, and the original attributes are the same, and the domains can also be well integrated. This is the best explanation for their decision to stick here!"

"That's why your perfect plan was cracked by those elves by mistake." Burning Dragon King Darija said.

"It doesn't matter if this plan is discovered. At most, it will cause more losses to our troops, and it will take longer to capture the Moonwhisper Forest." Shackles smiled quietly, his tone still very confident , "No matter how stubborn those elves are, with less than 5000 men against an army of [-], I don't see them having any chance of winning."

Then he stretched out his hands again, gesturing on the map and explaining. "For the port city of Arius, [-] troops have successfully completed the transformation of abandoning weakness and fear. These [-] troops are used as the first echelon to attack here, testing the weak points of the elves' fortifications and consuming their experience. And vigor. Brother Yinchen Samael, I will give you the command of the first echelon..." The Deceitful Lord paused, waiting for the Plague Lord's response.

Yinchen Samuel's lips twitched like an unhealed wound, as if he was smiling or making a threatening expression. "...Well, I will add some epidemic virus to them, so that their corpses can also play the greatest role possible."

"Very well, I look forward to your brilliant results, Brother Yinchen Samael." Shakross' fingers slid across the map again, "The troops from Iron Rock City reported that they were attacked and harassed by a group of elf archers not long ago. , The loss was huge. Those elves used a kind of arrow forged from a strange alloy, and the damage to the middle and lower level demons was terrible, even the Lord level cannot be underestimated. Brother Darija, the commander of several Winged Demon Annihilator troops I will leave all the power to you, I want to see a dark sky on the battlefield that is as dark as night, and cover other troops, especially the abyss demon refining troops to attack!"

Dariga's eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn't refuse in the end, but nodded slowly, "Leave the cover to me." He replied simply and concisely.

"After losing the Incinerator team, it is impossible for this war to end quickly. We can only take the Moonwhispering Forest at the lowest cost and fulfill the orders of the Great Monarch." The treacherous Lord Shackles finished, He let out a long breath, and looked out the window.The first ray of golden morning light is slowly emerging on the eastern horizon, gradually brightening the originally dark blue sky. The broken walls and ruins that were originally like black silhouettes revealed their true colors. Everywhere in the alley, red and black bodies can be seen standing or lying down, with empty eyes that seem to have lost their self-awareness.

"Pass down my order, the whole army is dispatched, join the vanguard, and prepare to attack!"

The orders of the treacherous lord Shakross were well carried out.Before dawn, the evil god of the abyss, Yerudir, who was lucky enough not to be punished, led the team that still retained a certain system and quickly recovered some combat effectiveness to the battlefield, and the number of cannon fodder troops was almost the same as the former. thereafter.

The composition of these cannon fodder troops is very complicated, ranging from fallen humans, half-orcs, goblins and kobolds. Since many of them did not willingly follow the demon army, but were coerced, their morale has always been very high. Oops.

But this time is different, there are many little devils and horned demons added to the cannon fodder troops, and whether they are demons or cannon fodder of other races, their expressions and movements have become dull and numb, and they don't say a word when marching. Hair, and the corners of the mouth still flow from time to time light green foam.

According to the decision of the treacherous lord, these troops whose morale was low due to the battle of the port city of Aleus have all been destroyed by the power of the spiritual storm, and have become a kind of walking dead with only simple instincts.This is a kind of damage to their combat effectiveness. Fortunately, when the demon commanders use these cannon fodder troops, they never care about how many battles they can create. It is just a means to consume the morale and ammunition of the guard troops.

The advancing posture of the demon army is like a huge red and black python, and it is also like a turbulent turbulent current, approaching the direction of the outpost of Moonlight Glade.The scouts on the elves' side immediately noticed their movements, and the sound of silver bells and horns resounded in the sky, and the troops then took their positions and stood ready.

Whether it's the defenders of the Moonlight Glade Outpost or the attacking demons, they are all ready to fight head-to-head and put all their eggs in one basket.
