On the branches above the moon, in the northwest corner of the ghost town, the half-collapsed hut sitting on the edge was still lit with red candlelight.
This two-story building is surrounded by piles of rocks in front and back. Countless ice cubes of different sizes reflect the moonlight. Among the stones and gravel behind the wall, there are vaguely snow-white severed limbs and spilled blood. The scene It was strangely and tragically like the scene of a murder.
A young murderer who assassinated high-level personnel in the enemy's base camp and should have fled in fear of crime was now sitting peacefully on a steamy and steaming bed, even holding a naked beauty with long black hair in his arms. , but his expression was mixed with confusion, confusion and a bit of hidden pleasure. After a while, he sighed, snapped his fingers, summoned a big book out of thin air, and slowly opened it.
The fruits of this battle were also displayed before his eyes.
"Battle traces: Newcomer Rorschach, killed the 'Black Witch' Farina (Bronze Rank), succeeded in a single level challenge, obtained 2,000 survival points, and randomly selected an enemy ability card."
"Reward: Rorschach, a newcomer, will receive a bronze low-level ability card¡ª¡ª"Mastery of the Natural Disaster Undead Spell" (from the game "Warcraft Series")."
Luo Xia raised his eyebrows and smiled unconsciously.
Having a large amount of survival points in his account allows him to have a lot of time left, and he can directly use the survival points to explore the potential qualities of the "psychic person" in his body. Although this improvement in quality does not greatly increase the "quantity" of abilities like strengthening direct qigong magic, the improvement in talent has improved the "source" of the derived power, making it easier for him to master and comprehend the essence of the derived powers. Mysteries. You must know that as untrained psychics, people are not the same. There are underworld mortals like the Dragon of the Wooden Sword who need a long time of training before they can barely fit together, and there are also psychics who have been in the family for hundreds of years since they were born. Ye Wang, the villain¡¯s big boss with thousands of ¡°witchcraft¡± units.
And the undead spell card from the natural disaster forces in the world of Azeroth gave him a small surprise.
It turns out that although the sources of good and evil are different, the nature of necromancy and psychic abilities in this world is very close. They both belong to the category of using the magic-like power of the dead who have disappeared in the world, and they both belong to the derivative category of "necromancy". It's just that one type is close combat with an obvious Eastern style of "asking the gods to take over"; while the other type is the long-range spell casting of the Western magic necromancy system. In other words, Rorschach's "psychic talent" can also be used on this spell, and even by analogy, allowing him to learn and master necromancy spells ten times faster than others. The most important thing is that after strengthening this card, Rorschach finally has the ability to fight at a distance, and does not have to rely solely on Corpse Girl to carry out risky melee raids.
Howeverthese gains can only be considered part of the total amount. Newly acquired magical abilities must go through a lot of practice before they can be used freely. What can really improve Rorschach's combat effectiveness immediately is the relic from this lovely lady.
Rorschach hesitated for a long time and finally did not dare to open the pile of clothes wrapped in death pattern cloth because the woman had a famous husband who was known as the "Plague Messenger". However, the piece of clothing automatically released ice in times of crisis. The sapphire necklace of the barrier was successfully obtained by him.
This light blue gem, which looks like a skull condensed thousands of times, is actually a treasure called "Ice Shard". According to the relevant knowledge Rorschach obtained from the card, its real use is not in combat or assistance, but to summon an ice wraith with the abilities of "Frost Nova" and "Siphon of Life".
When the black witch Falina used this treasure just now, she temporarily extracted the ice power belonging to the summoned creature and turned it into an ice barrier to protect the body. As a result, the resentful spirit that had lost its ice magic power could not manifest itself. It can rely on the negative energy body attached to the ghost to corrode people's lives, and then it will be shattered by the holding spirit. In fact, it has not exerted its true power.
After handling the trophies, Rorschach put a bandage on the wound and was not in a hurry to leave. He just sat quietly on the half-collapsed bed, sorting out and recalling the mixed necromancy magic in his mind. This lasted for more than ten minutes. Until there was a sudden light outside, and then the ground shook slightly, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly blocked his ears, but he was still shaken to his core by the sudden roar, his ears were like thunder, and he was almost deaf.
¡°Bang bang bang bang¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±
The violent explosions continued. Even standing in a house hundreds of meters away from the town gate, Luo Xia could still see the flaming and crumbling natural disaster ziggurats.
Under the bright red firelight, the originally rugged and solid stone body continued to hear the shock of explosions, and large swaths of gravel were scattered in all directions. The magic lines on the relief were completely ineffective in the face of the pure physical explosion, and the light dimmed little by little in the blink of an eye. , the cold buildings that lost their support fell heavily to the ground,It continued to break into a pile of fragments and debris. The awakened dead and mages had no command and assistance, and most of them were at a loss. They were hindered by the flames everywhere, and the situation was chaotic.
"It seems that everything went wellyou did a good job." Luo Xia shook his head, finally waking up from the nervous disorder just now, looking up just in time to see the change in the situation outside the window, and couldn't help but nod in approval. Just when there was chaos, a purple figure took the opportunity to sneak into the hut where he was, and was standing quietly behind him, accepting his praise.
Luo Xia suddenly realized her pink situation, and calmly retracted her arm from the corpse Ji Yanran, then casually turned her head to the side, looked at the beautiful girl who was sent on a mission, and couldn't help but be stunned. His eyes passed over the fair skin under her ragged and torn clothes, and finally rested on a small patch of gray-black skin on her waist that was incompatible with the rest of her body and was slowly recovering from ulcers.
"Are you injured?" Luo Xia couldn't help but asked in surprise. According to his inference, the cultists around him were weak and of low strength. The most important thing was that they were unprepared for internal attacks. Even if there were one or two whose magic level reached the bronze level, The elites were unaware and had no protective spells, so it was impossible to withstand the surprise assassination attack from the corpse girl.
The purple-haired girl nodded and replied in a dry voice: "Among those mages a pair of twins lived together. I killed one and was found."
After saying that, she took out a purple book from her waist with an embossed bone and skull on the cover, and handed it over, "This isa trophy."
The extremely beautiful girl went to great lengths to run back and forth for her, and even with all her injuries, she took out the trophies and gave them to her. It was a touching thing anyway. But Rorschach just raised his head slightly and saw a pair of lifeless, turbid pupils under that beautiful and pale face. He suddenly felt bored. He had no choice but to nod, took the book handed to him, and then strode out. , but a vague idea arose in my mind.
¡How can we get them to return to their ¡®self¡¯?
Although there is no real sanity, Shiki Saeko abandons all moral obsessions and sympathy doubts in her actions under the simulated memories of her lifetime, and kills with ruthlessness. During the time when Rorschach was ambushing the Dark Witch, he not only perfectly placed the engineering explosives obtained from Alsace on the ziggurat and detonated them one by one, but also eradicated all the cultists living nearby. While adding some extra survival points to Rorschach, it also allowed the group of people to travel to the outside of the town very smoothly without attracting anyone's attention.
?In other words, the remaining dead people simply have no extra energy to pay attention to things other than the enemy in front of them.
Theoretically speaking, on the battlefield in daylight, the expeditionary force under Alsace was on the attacking side and should have a certain advantage. But in fact, the army of the living has the upper hand on the surface to come and retreat freely, but it is actually in an embarrassing situation - no matter how hard it is, if the comrades on their side die, they are really dead; and even if the enemy Dozens or hundreds of skeletal soldiers were wiped out, and they could be resurrected with just a wave of the hand. Even exchanging one for a hundred was a very good deal. And barely killing a few non-renewable ghouls is completely meaningless when the opponent can continuously summon skeletons and carry out covering undead bombardment as long as the magic circle is not eliminated.
However, as the saying goes, "Success or failure is nothing." After the ziggurat formations that the natural disaster party relied on for survival were all destroyed, they no longer had the cover of unlimited resurrected skeletons, no longer had long-range magic bombardment support, and lost the undead. The undead army of the mage resurrected the skeletons once again faced the angry human army coming across the sea, and the rampaging army formation was led by two heroes. What was the result?
The answer is thirty-three minutes.
Perhaps excluding half of the time spent on the road, countless temporarily resurrected bones reluctantly gathered into a white sea of ??skeletons. Under the command of the chaotic undead units behind them, they desperately resisted. They only lasted less than twenty minutes before being crushed by the army. It became broken bones all over the ground. In fact, if it weren't for the dozen or so abominations that suddenly threw themselves into the battlefield and blocked the door with their bodies, they would almost collapse at the first touch, without even the slightest delay.
Thisis the real basis for Prince Arthas to dare to cross seas and states and chase demons thousands of miles away. It is the most powerful iron-blooded army in the human kingdom under the continuous war in Azeroth.
But when things got to this point, Natural Disaster of the Undead would naturally not choose to sit still and wait for death, and directly used their trump card.
Since Renhe has been completely defeated, then what about the geographical advantage?
¡°Dong¡ª¡ªdong¡ª¡ªdong¡ª¡ª¡±
From shallow to deep, from stillness to movement, a faint echo of "Gurgling, Gurgling" suddenly came from the distant depths of the earth.??At the beginning, this little movement was easily ignored amidst the chaotic momentum of thousands of troops; but as time went on, the amplitude of the earthquake in the ground increased little by little, to the point where people standing on the ground were unsteady. , staggering around, the soldiers who were originally chasing the dead souls suddenly stopped what they were doing. An inexplicable fear arose in their hearts, and then they realized the seriousness of the matter.
earthquake? Butleaving aside the fact that the land covered by frozen soil in Azeroth for thousands of years is as solid as iron stone, and Northrend, which is independent of the ocean and does not have any continental shelf connection, how can such an earthquake occur? Condition?
Since it cannot be a natural disaster, it is naturally a man-made disaster.
If we say that the intelligent life form evolved from insects - "Spider Demon", can also be included in the category of "human".
The earth cracked, and the spider demon protruded.
¡°Rumble¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±
In the small town that became a battlefield, large areas of buildings suddenly collapsed on the spot. A large number of rubble walls set off a puff of smoke and dust that spread for hundreds of meters, and the ground suddenly cracked into cracks. Looking down from above, it seems as if there is an invisible giant hand connecting the sky and the earth above the town. While stirring up the dust in the sky, its five fingers collapse the earth to create countless deep hollow wormholes. In just a moment, the area is hundreds of meters in diameter. The plain towns have turned into a basin with ravines and hills.
Faced with such a massive disaster, many dumbfounded soldiers fell into the cracked pit before they could react. However, before the survivors on the surface could rejoice, weird monsters were already underground. Jumped out of the hole and launched an attack.
These enemies that suddenly appeared looked like giant ants magnified thousands of times, with their ferocious and sharp mouthparts clearly visible, and their appearance was covered with a layer of insect-specific purple-black carapace. A sword slash would only leave a wisp of white on it. Marks were left on the body, and the edges of the more than ten limbs on the left and right sides of the body were as sharp as hook blades and they were swiping back and forth. Taking advantage of the advantage of the myriapods, they jumped up and it was as if seven or eight sickles were slashing at them at once, making it difficult for humans with two hands to block. , unable to parry.
But what was even more unlucky were the soldiers who unfortunately fell under the cracked ground. The ground they were originally standing on suddenly collapsed. Before they could realize what was going on, they were thrown to pieces, and then they didn't recover. , there was just a "pop" sound, and a large white and transparent web of spider silk suddenly covered the body. Unable to move, it was cut into pieces by countless sharp feet in the darkness.
I don¡¯t know whether it should be considered lucky or unlucky. Rorschach, who originally fled the battlefield in a hurry, was caught off guard by this strange and unusual attack method. However, when he recovered from the dizziness caused by falling from a high altitude, the two crypt demons who had caught their prey not far away and were about to attack had already been easily killed by the two furious corpse girls starting from the joints. The two knives dismembered it into a pile of carapace fragments.
"Eh this is it?" Luo Xia took advantage of the moonlight projected by the hollow above and took a look at the surrounding environment. Unconsciously, he showed a look of surprise. It turned out that the underground of this small town had long been hollowed out and turned into a seven-way building. Judging from the white spider webs remaining on the ground, the eight-expanded, complex and deep underground cave is obviously the result of the hard work of the spider demons.
Rorschach looked at the ground through the moonlight from the skylight above his head, and found that the soil under his feet was pitted and uneven, and behind the corpses of the two spider demons, there were deep pits of varying degrees of excavation, and the entire underground formed a landslide downwards. the trend of. Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, recalling the strange things he had seen these days, and suddenly realized:
"That's it! No wonder that woman worked so hard to disguise herself as a spy and really provided the route to crack the natural disaster circle. It turned out that her surrender to the enemy was false, but the truth was that she wanted to play a trick of 'inviting you to the urn'! As long as Arthas is The army leads into a designated ground, and then the spider demons are allowed to dig directly to a depth of ten to twenty meters, and then drill through the frozen soil surface. They don't even need to take action at all. The soldiers who fall from the height will be crushed into a puddle by gravity. Mud. Just because I killed her and asked the army to break through the town, this trap was forced to be exposed in advance. Although the general construction was completed, the depth of digging was not high. According to the rules in the magical world of Azeroth, The average human being is about twice as strong as the Earth. If a person falls, he will be injured at most but not die. It will never cause too many casualties. "
But why?
You must know that as long as you can overwhelm the enemy on the battlefield, all conspiracies and tricks are understandable. But ultimately, the mission of the Scourge is not to defeat Arthas, but to destroy his faith as much as possible. It may be difficult to corrupt a paladin who is simply a fanatical believer, but it is difficult to let a paladin who is a pure fanatic believer have the identity of a crown prince and an army general at the same time. Alsace's faith collapsed, and the easiest and most direct way was to destroy his last foundation, the kingdom's army. But the result can be like this, and the process must not be promoted by such rough and sudden means, let alone the process cannot be too fast, otherwise it willAfter being crushed by an irresistible army, Alsace, who lost everything in an instant, could hardly feel the resentment of abandoning everything. At this time, the natural disaster actually wanted to use this trick of ambush and assassination, but in fact, it had violated the Lich King behind him. fundamental interests.
Luo Xia's heart was moved, and he walked back and forth. He accidentally caught a glimpse of the carapace of the spider demon corpse beside him. There were many old wounds, but they were obviously not marks of metal cuts from swords. He couldn't help but be surprised:
"Could it be that the natural disasters, at least the natural disasters army here, encountered inexplicable enemies and suffered huge losses, so they did not have the confidence to defeat Alsace in a frontal battle, in order to avoid a magnificent victory that would in turn stimulate his confidence , have to use this kind of conspiracy to deal with this part of the army that went to war with him at once?"
