Out of the cage

The king and noble ministers in the palace looked at the magic sand table above their heads. At this time, in the iron stone fortress, there was a large area of ​​red. There was the orc army confronting the humans. The enemy was 13,000 orcs and 20,000 There are military formations of servant armies of various races, and on the magic display on the sand table, a green magic source connects the orc army from the south.

On the other side of the fortress, led by General Anlexi, were 4,000 troops assembled by the kingdom from various regions. There are two hundred knights inside. The mirror crystal showed that the orcs were attacking with catapults. Groups of red burning stones, supported by deflagration magic, spanned 500 meters and hit the human city walls. Part of the walls of the iron stone fortress had collapsed.

At the same time, what kept the nobles of the kingdom silent was that on the southernmost line of the kingdom, deep into some elves and dwarves, a kingdom army was attacking the base camp of the Dark Legion in reverse.

This force is Eryuan Jieli's team. Although it was only a small formation of twenty-four knights, they formed an alliance with the elves.

Since the alliance contract between humans, dwarves, and elves is common to the entire continent, when any force of humans, elves, and dwarves fulfills the contract with each other, it will be sung in the order camp. Therefore, it does not matter whether the center of the human kingdom recognizes it or not, Eyuan is representing Humanity fights.

Although there were not many troops in Eryuan at this time, the elves still called it "the alliance".

The mages of the kingdom understood: this was not the sexual transformation of these arrogant elves.

But Eryuan really did something that could fulfill the contract on behalf of mankind. It's just that the heroes who started to create legends in this way made the kingdom a little embarrassed.

The king asked the Karar mages who came to the hall: "Your Majesty Ridant, the kingdom's iron and stone fortress has withstood a huge amount of attacks. Please tell me, how can we restrain the dark power?"

At this time, you can see in the mirror that the attacking orcs have multiple buffs such as "Essence of Blight", "Evil Frenzy", and "Bloodlust" jumping on their bodies.

The evil orcs turned red all over and were not afraid of pain or death at all. They rushed into the human infantry phalanx and slashed wildly with an axe. They didn't care even if their stomachs were torn open by the sword blade.

Among them, the essence of withering absorbs vitality from all life on the surrounding land and feeds it back to the life to be blessed. This is why wherever the orcs go to fight now, it becomes a desolate land.

The mage from Kalal now focuses his attention on the map where Welkang is. If it turned out that Karar could only judge the general concept that the source of darkness came from the south, but after seeing the source of Er reaching the Jingyue Sea in the south (actually a large lake comparable to the Caspian Sea), he already understood that the orcs were Where does it come from.

Lidante, wearing a gold-rimmed mage robe, said: "Your Majesty, the dark roots of the orcs must be cut off in order to end this war."

His staff was pointed at Jingyue Lake.

All the mages took a breath, because this is the navel of the world, where the essence of the earth's spiritual veins gathers. The behavior of the orcs here is equivalent to "fungus causing ringworm on a person's belly button", and the whole world is suffering.

However, when the king saw this, he looked very unnatural. If he had known that this opportunity existed, he would have sent the most luxurious team of heroes to complete this task and gain glory.

But he missed this opportunity. Now that Eryuan is there, if he shows too much agreement at this time, it will appear that he is "less wise and decisive."

Similar to the lighthouse of the 21st century, why did New Rome, accustomed to leadership, lose its ability to correct mistakes? That's because the Eastern countries that discovered the other side of the ocean had completed the measures before him. For the sake of the world leader's face, these measures could not be recognized as effective.

Therefore, from the perspective of "objective" political factors, there are some things that need to be resolved and certain steps are the biggest obstacles.

...The perspective comes to the frontal battlefield of the human race ahead...

The Royal Army was locked in a bitter battle in the Iron Stone Fortress. The originally neat bricks on the city wall were now uneven due to the trebuchets. The protruding bricks had fallen off, and many brick walls had hollows on them and were on the verge of crumbling. , the burning kerosene also created scorched black marks on the ground.

In the confrontation outside the Iron Stone Fortress, the orc altar absorbs the surrounding life force all the time, and the power of death spreads unchecked in this land.

Around the altar, green bonfires were burning, and special things were boiling in large pots on the bonfires.

The injured warriors in the orc army drank the porridge-like objects in these cauldrons, and all their wounds disappeared immediately, but their bodies turned red and rushed to the front line, which continued to demoralize the exhausted defenders on the city wall.

Anlexi looked at the two-legged flying dragons swimming in the sky and began to rely on their numerical advantage to compete with the griffin knights for dominance in the sky. He looked worried. As a general, he found that many medical medicines were insufficiently stocked before the war, and the kingdom gathered The mages, after several encounters with spears thrown by orcs from flying dragons, were unwilling to stand on the front line and directly treat the warriors.

Sirolina on the side knew what her uncle was thinking, so she silently walked to the mage's hall and contacted Eryuan in the south.

In the royal capital at the rear, you can still hesitate and worry about the issue of face. But in the forward fortress, the troops of the Wave Territory faced blood and fire every day. The huge rocks thrown by the orcs' slings continued to shake the human defense line. The black orcs were carrying axes and stepping on the convex and concave brick seams. They were climbing up to the top of the city step by step to fight with the human soldiers. Blood and flesh were flying everywhere.

When Sirolina opened the magic mirror, she once again asked Eryuan with a sad princess face if he could attack and destroy the orc base camp.

Facing Sirolina like this, Eryuan still expressed calmly that he would complete the kingdom's mission. It's exactly the same as it was in the beginning.

Eryuan replied on the other side of the mirror: "I am moving forward according to the plan." - But this calmness combined with the hidden conspiracy during the previous "Looking for the Dragon" mission made the wizards in the kingdom always feel that this was Eryuan's presence. revenge.

When perpetrators are in trouble, they always imagine that they will be harmed.

After the mirror image spell ended, Sirolina stayed for a long time as if she was restrained. Finally coming to her senses at the sound of the battle bell, she murmured, "Why?"

…the hero’s journey reaches its final stage. …

After fifteen days of guarding, the Elf's tree of life bore fruit, and three Pegasus flapped their wings and flew over.

Eryuan mounted the Pegasus and flew toward the black island on the other side of the sea with the Elf Ranger and Jie Li.

Before getting on Pegasus, Eryuan carved a single-penetrating magic circle that could be used by all humans to return to their territory.

Eryuan said to all the Order Alliance soldiers: "Thank you for accompanying me here. Next, I will take the lead into the front. Within three days, if you don't see the teleportation array being destroyed, then leave. If you see Just wait for me for twelve more hours until the teleportation array is destroyed."

The soldier who has been following said: "Master Mage, we are very honored to follow you to this point. I wish you a successful return."

At this time, Eryuan had already ridden the Pegasus towards the horizon.

…It’s about a two-hour flight distance, and Eyuan is close to the center of the lake…

The central island of Jingyue Lake is currently in darkness. Use perspective to pass through the black fog to observe that this elven city that was originally full of artistic atmosphere is now entangled with a large number of twisted and mutated poisonous vines.

Pegasus was restless, so Eyuan simply let these loyal animals fly and asked Jieli and Ranger to wait for him on a nearby island.

Of course Jieli was unwilling, but Eryuan said leisurely: "Silly girl, I can't concentrate on the next thing when you are by my side. Just wait for me to come back. I will marry you when I come back. Don't think that I am poor."

Jie Li paused, and then opened her mouth to shout something, but Er Yuan had already added the wind control technique to himself, gliding down from the sky, and his voice was drowned in the wind.

Eryuan landed on the island alone, held his breath in the dark clouds, and put a covering spell on himself. In this case, the undead fifteen meters away would not be able to smell the breath of living creatures on their bodies.

Most low-level undead species have very poor vision, and they judge based on the breath of life of living creatures.

There are more than fifty death knights on this island, stationed on high towers. His body was surrounded by a large number of dark skeletons, zombies, and gargoyles.

With such a force, it is impossible to win by force. The only way is to quietly approach the sunwell in the center according to the secret path provided by the elf ranger. By the way, Eryuan looked at the paper quality of the map, which was very high-end, and recalled the elf ranger's hair color and the natural lines between his eyebrows.

Eyuan: I’m afraid it’s not a girl from the elf royal family who often sneaks out to record the secret route. ——No matter who the ranger is, Eyuan and her are just comrades-in-arms.

Eryuan left traces along a dry waterfall, passing through three extremely dangerous areas as nimbly as a hummingbird, avoiding numerous skeleton soldiers and eight guarded death knights along the way. These death knights wore armor, and dark red haloes radiated from their feet, blessing the surrounding skeletons. The skeletons also had a metallic iron-like luster, making these evil-looking skeletons even stronger.

In the end, Eryuan avoided the dark army and approached the Sunwell area, which was surrounded by a moat with a width of more than one kilometer.

There is no water source in the moat, and in twenty areas glowing with purple phosphorus fire, there are skeletons of various flying animals swimming and walking in the river, which indicates that many lives have been swallowed up in the river. Including some reckless orcs.

The purple flames were poured from the high towers in the moat, and on these high towers, skeletons tied with iron chains chanted endlessly, maintaining the phosphorus fire burning in the moat.

This is the death and withering technique of high-level lich. However, the lich on the battlefield can release wither to a fixed area within a range of one hundred meters at most. And here, there is phosphorus fire flowing like a tide within a five-kilometer range, obviously supported by abundant magic power.

However, Eryuan also discovered that these twenty death and withering areas were completely blocked by patrol movements. These patrolled dead areas can sense any "life" and will actively swarm towards "accidental intruders". come over.

In other words, once someone loses his footing and falls into the river bed, death and decay will flow towards the unlucky person's position. Eventually, covered with phosphorus fire, all the life force of the unlucky person will be absorbed.

Eryuan picked up the ribs of some large whale and made a simple stilt. His feet did not have the slightest contact with the riverbed soil, and he just slipped through the interval of death and withering without incident.

...After traveling through the death and decay zone, and passing through the wailing cemetery of skeletons and zombies, Eryuan encountered the final hurdle, and this time he couldn't get past it...

The once pure sunwell is now filled with inky black magical flames that flicker like fireflies.

Eryuan System analyzed these magic sources and felt that they could be used, but flesh and blood life would decline if used too much.

Eryuan commented: "It's similar to petroleum. It can be burned after refining, but humans can't drink it." But there was a smile on his lips.

When he walked to the center, Eyuan finally saw a moving entity. It was difficult for Eyuan to determine whether it was a living thing. After all, in this world full of death, no life could hold it.

A very old orc shaman guards the sunwell. The leather clothes he wears are very rotten, and his body is as shriveled as a zombie.

After he saw Eryuan, he was chanting something in the orc language in a low voice, his teeth were leaking, and his cheeks were rattling.

Translated by the system: "I recognize you. You defeated Saruman (the orc leader riding a wolf five years ago). Now that you are here, it seems that the God of Destiny guided you here."

Eryuan looked at the black magic circle under his feet and determined that this was what he wanted to destroy. The black breath swam on the ground, bulged on the steps, and the head of the snake was revealed. This was not a real snake, but a magical illusion. But if an intruder dares to step onto the steps, they will literally bite like a snake, injecting deathly venom.

As if sensing Eryuan's gaze, the shaman nodded and raised his hand. A mirror channel with a diameter of several hundred meters was reflected above his head. On the other side of the channel, green mist shrouded like a place of death.

The shaman raised his head and said slowly and in a praising tone: "Everything has an end."

Then he turned to Eryuan: "Maybe you will also go here."

After saying this, he waved his staff, and black liquid began to gather on the ground, and bones rolled over. Based on the skeleton, several grinning flesh monsters made of flesh and blood appeared.

Although it is a bit strange, according to system analysis: this thing should be a kind of "hate" created by the undead.

System information: Facing such a monster, the crystal core must be destroyed, and the piercing damage of the spear will have no effect.

Of course, having said that, Eryuan still projected a rock spear to pierce through it. After the projected spear penetrated the rotten flesh, the abhorrent tentacles absorbed the black liquid from the magic well on the side, and soon returned to normal.

Eryuan understood clearly: "Thick health and unlimited recovery" - As for the system data, he still had to try it, because the data records were incomplete and needed to be confirmed on site. The "observation confirmation" at the scene revealed details.

Based on the fact that its skin and flesh were recovering and the wounds were replenished with flesh and blood, Eryuan determined that there were multiple undead crystal nuclei in this stitched organism.

Such undead monsters can no longer be dealt with by dispersing spells.

Eryuan glanced at the old shaman who summoned Abomination, and looked at the staff emitting green light in his hand, which affected Abomination little by little, and understood that the "blue energy" of this old shaman who had been immersed in magic for an unknown number of years did not Depleted by the summoning of hatred.

Eryuan looked at the rotten fat charging towards him: "Tsk, tsk, let's have a duel between mages." Eryuan held a butterfly in one hand and pointed at the mage opposite.

At this time, the fingers of Eryuan's other hand behind his back had begun to outline a magic circle. The spell system of halo symbols centered on Eryuan's wrist, flashing in a ring shape.

After confirming the observation points in other areas in the dimension, Eryuan whispered: "This moment must be a legend."

…time and space can be altered by observation…

Narrator: This legendary journey to Eryuan will be observed by subsequent travelers from the Xia Sheng civilization and the "will group" of Wei Keng's main world (Ji Tianxing, etc.).

As the famous saying in modern times goes, "There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers."

This plot in Eryuan will also be divided into different "plot lines" as the different time and space tunnelers observe, transform (tamper with).

Eryuan left too many plot points as the middle man, such as the encounter with the dragon, the dealings with the dwarves, and the half-hearted alliance with the elves. Among the new time travellers, they can all be done better (more extreme) .
