This obvious fact inspires the morale of the whole army, and even a thin thread of hope can shine brightly in the deepest darkness.

"People are in the city! Kill!!" I uttered a battle roar, and directly summoned the "Dragon Flame Blazing Soul", and swung the ax to sprinkle the flames on the synthetic beast in the distance.

There is no need to make reservations anymore, the most important thing now is to raise morale to the highest level in one go, and directly bring victory to our side.

"People are in the city! Kill!!" The brothers from the tribe responded to me first, and the screams of killing came one after another.

The orc warriors formed a hunting group, rushing towards the synthetic beast on the city wall regardless of their own safety.The shamans gathered together, collectively calling out to the elements.The land outside the city raised countless rock giant hands, crushing the synthetic beasts one by one.

The flying arrows and magic of the elves became more intensive, and some powerful mages directly used high-level magic. The leopard made of flames jumped over the crenels of the city wall and rushed down the city, exploding among the enemy lines trying to climb the wall.The bird-shaped familiar flew into the sky, flapped its wings and rolled up a whirlwind with wind blades, smashing the monsters involved into pieces.

The paladins used the tricks shown in the camp before, and collectively summoned the light-forged goddess statue. A huge wing stretched out behind the goddess, and the demon touched by the strong light quickly turned into black steam and dissipated. open.

The dwarf's artillery has never stopped, and the specially-made fragmentation bombs exploded countless burning fragments in the air, which are as beautiful as fireworks, but the barrage composed of those sharp metal fragments like flying knives is fatal to the enemies in the air.The dwarf technicians guarding the city pushed the catapult over, and the group of demolition lunatics simply put the explosive barrel on the catapult and threw it out.These explosive barrels crossed the city wall and landed in the enemy formation outside the city, causing a terrifying explosion, instantly blasting a large gap in the dense enemy tide.

"It's such a lively celebration, let's make a big one too." Suddenly, the queen's ethereal voice came from the sky.

She suddenly ignited her whole body, fluttered her wings and soared upwards, rushing towards the night sky like a meteor flying backwards.With such a conspicuous move, she immediately attracted the attention of those demons and synthetic beasts who had already been ordered to kill, and they chased after them like moths to a flame.

The queen finally stopped in the air, and the flames faded from her.Afterwards, the huge crimson field expanded like an explosion around her, engulfing hundreds of monsters in it. These composite beasts and demons were completely reduced to ashes within a second in the field.

The scorching air waves poured down from the top of the head, making one feel like being poured a bucket of hot water from the top of the head.

A low roar suddenly came from a distance, and I clearly felt a momentary delay in the movements of the synthetic beasts and demons flying around.

Then the next moment, they suddenly moved away from the city wall neatly and uniformly.Not only the flying troops, but also the ground troops that were surging under the city walls like waves suddenly ebbed.

Gray-white invisible mist gushed out from the corpses piled up on the city wall, concentrated and flew towards the direction of the enemy's formation, and was absorbed by the black mist transformed by the demon king.

For a moment, I thought that the enemy was planning to use some back trick, but soon, I saw that the black mist formed by the demon king in the distance also began to slowly move back, and finally disappeared beyond the horizon.

They are retreating!They retreated! !

Excited cheers suddenly sounded, and the surviving people raised their weapons and shouted in the dawn.

At this moment, I felt the tense muscles all over my body slowly relax, and a sense of fatigue surged up all of a sudden, making me sit down against the battlements.

There is an insider, terminate the transaction (1)

On the first morning after the battle, I just crouched next to the battlements with my battle ax and squinted for a while.

As soon as I closed my eyes, my consciousness sank. In the past when I was chasing prey in the Wild of Giant Beasts, I hadn't closed my eyes for two days and two nights, but the exhaustion at that time couldn't be compared with this whole night. It's the same with tense and fierce battles.

In the dimness, I felt as if I had a bad dream, and then a rustling movement woke me up.When I opened my eyes, I suddenly found that there was an extra blanket on my body.

"Tsk tsk, I really envy you that you can sleep so soundly in this kind of place." Daisy's teasing voice came from beside her, "If a thief can sneak here and climb up the city wall to stab you, you is already dead."

I turned my head and took a look. She was sitting on the battlement and cleaning her dagger. Her craftsmanship is quite good, and she still hasn't curled the edge after using it all night.However, due to the continuous stabbing, the blade was covered with grease and blood.

"I slept very deeply, but I wasn't vigilant at all." I scratched my head.

Orcs who have undergone hunting training are easy to fall asleep, but they are also easy to wake up. After all, when sleeping in the wilderness, they often have to guard against the attacks of nocturnal beasts.People who are not extremely good at stealth like Daisy and Angelica should be very difficult to get close without being noticed by me.

"I really suffered yesterday. If I had known how hard it was to follow you, I would have gone back to Nitrilan earlier." Daisy let out a long breath.

"What about the others?"

I remember that she stayed with Princess Alisa and the others. Yesterday's battle was so fierce, so I don't know what happened to them.

"They're all doing well. They're all pretty capable, and they're all capable of taking care of themselves." Daisy replied calmly, "Now they're all going to rest, and they're almost exhausted after beating them all night."

"You look very energetic."

"It's just different work and rest habits. For you, yesterday's battle was staying up late. For me, it's not. Most of Nitrilan's territory is underground. We don't have a distinction between day and night, and the sleeping time is allocated sporadically." Daisy continued to wipe the blade.

"This blanket...you brought it?"

"Heh, you expect me, a killer without emotion, to do such a thoughtful act?" Daisy raised her eyebrows at me.

"Then this blanket is..." I froze for a moment.

"It was I who covered you, is there a problem?" Daisy shrugged.

"..."

I really don't understand what this guy is thinking.

"If you want to sleep, you should go to bed. I'm afraid there won't be many chances to sleep on the pillow." Daisy wiped the dagger clean and put it back into the sheath. "If there is no accident, they will continue next night Call here."

Indeed, the main reason for the opposite side's retreat this time is not that they have no spare energy, but that the day is not good for them. If night falls again, they are likely to come again.

There wasn't much time for us to rest, and there wasn't much celebration dinner to last through the first day. It was already a luxury to set aside a little time to mourn the dead.

I grabbed the wall and stood up, my body that had not fully recovered from fatigue seemed to be filled with lead.

Flames are burning outside the city walls, and the corpses of synthetic beasts and demons are piled up in a hill, and the black flames have an unpleasant smell of burning——in order to prevent the spread of the plague, Mutafa seems to have ordered all the corpses of the enemies to be thrown into the city. It was burned outside.

The dwarven craftsmen ran on the city wall carrying stones and tools, busy urgently repairing the gaps in the city wall that were blown out.They also splashed some viscous paste on the city wall, which seems to be some kind of repair material. After the battle last night, the city wall has been damaged to a considerable extent.

Everyone is preparing for the next fight, and what I should do is to use this time to recharge my batteries.

I turned around and walked down the city wall from the nearest exit, Daisy followed behind me bored.

I'm so thirsty... I didn't even have time to take a sip of water after beating for a whole night.

I went into the camp area inside the fortress, found a well, brought up a pail of water from it, and then scooped it up with a ladle and brought it to my mouth for the cow to drink.

As I wiped my mouth, I caught a glimpse of Daisy standing aside and staring at me with her arms folded.

"Would you like some water?" I handed her the ladle.

"...As a man, don't you know how to be a little more reserved?" Daisy suddenly sighed, "How heartless is it to drink water from the same ladle with the opposite sex so carelessly?"

Having said that, she still reached out to take the ladle, and scooped up a ladle of water.

But when she brought the water to her mouth, she suddenly frowned: "This water..."

"What's wrong with the water?" I asked casually.

"There's something wrong with this water." Daisy shook the water in the ladle, "I said you didn't take the opportunity to put drugs in it, did you?"

"Don't make trouble, I clearly drank water in front of you just now." I just thought she was joking.

But Daisy's expression was still very serious. After thinking for a while, she took out a silver knife from her body.

"What is this?"

"The small knife made by the dark elf craftsman, we use it as a table knife and throwing props."

"So what are you doing with a table knife?"

"Test poison." Daisy replied blankly, "This kind of knife is made of special materials and craftsmanship. The blade can respond to poison and curses. I suspect that the water is poisonous."

"Are you serious? This is the well in the fortress." I was taken aback by her.

For a military fortress, the safety of the water source is the top priority. There are people patrolling the camp area during the day, and the wells are directly sealed off at night.

"You'd better trust me on this. I've been tested and trained in poisons since I was 50. I dare not call myself that in Nitrilan, but compared to you foreigners, I can be regarded as an expert in poisons. .Some poisons are colorless and odorless to you, but I can taste them." Daisy glanced at me, "I have avoided at least six poisonous kills from my sisters with the ability gained from this training. , I’ll bet you a gold coin that there’s something wrong with the water.”

The silver knife twirled at her fingertips, drawing a silver arc.Then Daisy held the knife steady, stretched out her hand and swung it towards the surface of the water in the bucket, dipping the blade with a little water.

Then, she moved the knife to her eyes and stared intently at it.

After more than ten seconds passed, a dark purple network pattern slowly emerged on the blade, until it covered the entire blade.

This strange phenomenon made my eyes widen involuntarily.

"Now you owe me a gold coin." Daisy looked over expressionlessly.

"That's right, the water is indeed polluted." Roland shook the cup filled with water.

One minute ago, she dropped a drop of the reagent into the glass of water, and then the glass of water changed color, and there was a burst of purple foam.

Daisy, who was standing aside, folded her arms and looked at me, with "I'll just say it" written all over her face.

"Our water source has been poisoned by someone!? Isn't that a big deal?" I couldn't help being a little surprised that the suspicion was confirmed.

"Of course, it's impossible for the poison to grow out of the water." Roland replied calmly.

"If you want to notify this matter immediately, you must close the water source first!" I couldn't sit still.

"I've already used telepathy to tell the subordinates outside to do it." Roland stopped me.

"You look very calm." I was a little surprised by Roland's bland reaction.

"Because I haven't drunk this water myself." Roland replied calmly, "And I guess the poison should be slow or delayed."

"If I were to poison, I would definitely not be so stupid as to use a poison that works quickly. If someone is poisoned before most people drink water, they will be discovered." Daisy echoed.

"So we should have enough time to prepare the antidote before the person who drank the water is poisoned. Thanks to the early discovery, it is rumored that the dark elves have a deep research on poisons, and they really deserve their reputation." Roland said to Daisy Smile deeply.

"Where is it, your research here is also very good." Daisy casually looked at the shelf beside Roland, which was filled with bottles and cans of potions.

She reached for a jar of potion and shook it, then turned to Roland and asked, "This thing smells very unique, it must have been mixed with a lot of rare ingredients."

"That's my newly developed lucky potion. After drinking it, it will have random effects. It may increase the magic power, or turn into a frog. The effect of the medicine is one hour." Roland smiled at her.

"That's amazing. Your skills are comparable to Nitrilan's chief pharmacist." Daisy suddenly smiled with bright eyes, "Can I take a bottle of this thing with me?"

"...I'm sorry to interrupt your business nonsense." I raised my hand and interjected, "Can we solve the problem of the water source being poisoned first, we don't even know what the effect of this poison is."

"Just do a little experimentation on this kind of thing." Roland said as he took out a silver insect cage, and poured out a huge spider from it.

"The mixture of ghost spider weed extract and octopus blood can speed up the effect of most medicines." Roland added some medicines with a color that looked very unappetizing to the water, then dropped a few drops on the table, and then put Eyes moved to the spider.

She seemed to have controlled the spider with a spiritual spell, and the spider crawled straight to the liquid drop on the table, moved its mouth to it, and sucked all the liquid in.

We all stared at the spider on the table and watched its reaction.After about 2 minutes, the spider suddenly twitched like a seizure, and after a few seconds passed, it suddenly collapsed.

Roland raised his hand and shook the spider, then shook his head: "It's dead, and the spells of the life system don't respond to it."

"Is it just poison for killing? It's nothing new." Daisy sneered.

But as soon as the words fell, the spider's legs suddenly moved, and then under Daisy and I's amazed eyes, it began to crawl again.It's just that the crawling is much slower than before, and the movements are mechanical and slow, as if the joints are frozen.

"It has become an undead." Roland immediately came to a conclusion, "The polluted water can slowly poison the poisoned person to death, and then turn the corpse into a zombie. Although it is still not very creative, it is indeed practical enough. If you succeed, not only can you destroy the entire fortress without any effort, but you can also harvest a large number of free troops by the way."

After she finished speaking, she stretched out her finger and summoned a small beam of light to cover the spider. The zombie spider suddenly curled up in pain, and finally remained motionless, turning into a corpse again.

I suddenly felt cold sweat coming out of my forehead.This bit of poison may not be useful to me, but I am afraid that there are not a few people who drink this water in the fortress. If the food made with the poisoned water can still maintain the toxicity, then it is estimated that more than half of the people in the fortress People are already poisoned, and it won't be long before they turn into horrible zombies.

"Great, if I hadn't discovered it early, this fortress would be full of corpses tonight." Daisy clapped her hands twice, "Don't you think I should give me some bonuses or something?"
