CHAPTER 260: WAR 2 (THE CHAOS OF THE CITADEL OF DEDARA)

The troops quickly went to suppress the rebellion in the fort. But when they arrive at the camp where the gremlin is located, they discover that the scope of the rebellion seems to have expanded.

Now, there are not only gremlin but also some apprentice magicians…

In the first wave of apprentice witches who were bitten to death by the gremlin, the virus finally spread throughout their bodies, causing their corpses to rise!

　

　

When the oppressive forces saw this magician apprentice, they were dumbfounded. They finally realized that something was wrong because this magician apprentice who was swaying towards them looked like a dead man! Their bodies were full of dried, dark red blood, and their faces, arms, thighs, and even stomachs were covered in blood. How could they live with such injuries?

How could Astral and the others be unfamiliar with the appearance of the apprentice mages? Wasn't there such a zombie among the undead army led by Arantir?

　

　

! Witch hero shaking in anger and roaring, “Serang! Kill all these fucking zombies! “

After receiving the order, a large number of iron golems rushed towards the zombies formed by the gremlin apprentices and mages. They mechanically waved the sword in their hands and slashed at this zombie. Unfortunately, the T-Virus-infected zombies in Roy's demon blood are different from the zombies in this world. To put it bluntly, the zombies in this world were just resurrected corpses that were not buried for long. They were not much different from skeletal soldiers wrapped in flesh and blood and were easy to kill. But zombies infected by T-Virus cannot be killed only after being slashed several times.

　

　

Under the attack of the iron golem army, many of the zombies on the scene cut off his limbs, and some of them were even cut in half. But this dismembered zombie was still writhing tenaciously on the ground. Although they only had half of their bodies left, they still made a terrifying roar as they struggled to crawl towards the witches.

The iron golems were merely puppets and lacked the flesh and blood to attract zombies, so the witches and dragons behind became the most attractive targets for the zombies.

There were already over three thousand zombies gathered in this area. They relied on their bodies that did not feel any pain to withstand the attack of the iron golem while advancing forward. They completely flooded the iron golem with its weight and drowned it.

Seeing the zombies going to slide into them, the witches finally inevitably shot. Many fireballs and magic arrows flew towards the zombies. Yet even though they were burned and pierced by magic arrows, these zombies were still fighting for distance before finally stopping. Everyone soon realized that fire seemed to be more effective against these zombies than magic arrows, so the magicians tried their best to use fireballs to attack. After quite some time, this group of zombies finally turned into a pile of charred corpses.

　

　

When Astral saw this scene and smelled a disgusting burning smell, the muscles on his face twitched. He remembered what he had seen before. The unprecedented expression of ferocity and desire on the faces of these gentle gremlin made even Astral hair stand on end.

Astral knew very well that the zombies gathered here were only a small number. In the entire Dendera Fortress, the number of gremlin was the largest. He had no idea how many of these gremlin and apprentice mages had become such strange zombies, and with an army of oppressors scattered all around, he said, he did not know if they could complete the task of suppressing them.

After finishing the suppression here, Astral thought about it and left behind some people to clear the scene. Then he immediately brought his troops and rushed to another place to provide support.

Similar to him, Solmyr and the other magician heroes also suppressed the zombies that suddenly appeared everywhere inside the fortress. Although the suppression process went smoothly, they discovered that these zombies were still constantly popping up throughout the fortress! Although there were only a few of them, it always gave the impression to people that they could not kill them all.

Moreover, these zombies gradually grew from the early gremlin and apprentice magicians into several dragons and mages …

The spread of T-Virus does not have to be through a bite, but it can also be transmitted through the air. In addition, contaminated water sources were fed and distributed to night watchmen all over the country. Therefore, even though the Bracadans were constantly destroying the infected zombies, new zombies still kept popping up. Gelu and the elf rangers he led did not participate in the zombie suppression at first because they judged it was just a gremlin riot. They thought of it as Bracada's internal affair, and the elves were not suited to participate. Basically the heroes of Bracada are busy with this problem. However, when some of the elf guards in the army turned into zombies and started biting friends around them, Gelu realized that everything was troublesome! Therefore, he immediately ordered his troops to kill those zombies and immediately informed Astral and the others of this news.

　

　

Zombies alone aren't scary, but the scary thing is this might be some sort of plague! This is because once an outbreak occurs, it means there is a chance of infection. Especially in a sealed city like a fortress, an infectious plague would exert the greatest strength!

In a short time, the heroes were unable to find the source of the plague. While they were anxiously destroying the zombies, they could only strengthen their hearts and isolate all the soldiers suspected of being infected!

Among the Bracada witches, some of them knew how to use the Cleansing spell. However, when they threw Cleansing at their comrade who had turned into a zombie, they found that it was completely useless! This zombie is produced by a virus, and has nothing to do with its negative status, so the Cleanser spell cannot eliminate this infection. They had no choice but to endure the pain and personally kill their former comrades with their own hands!

The only place in the entire Dendera Fortress that was free from these zombies was the Arantir undead army camp. Simple reason. Zombies crave fresh flesh and blood, so the undead army doesn't attract zombies at all.

Of course, Arantir has found a surprising change in this city. Zombies were a kind of undead, and Arantir could feel the powerful death aura of those zombies. But because no one had told him about the plague, Arantir could only feel restless in the army camp but did not dare to bring his troops out to help.

Arantir is very smart. He realized that the sudden appearance of these undead inside the fortress had caused a huge commotion. If he were to bring his troops out to help at this time, it would probably be counterproductive …

Same truth. The forces of Bracada and the elves are now terrified if their friend turns into a zombie. On one hand, they were afraid of being bitten to death by their former friend, and on the other, they had no choice but to kill their friend in grief. The nerves of the people living in the city were already very strained, and they could collapse at any moment. Once the Arantir undead army appeared in front of them, they might attack without hesitation!

　

　

At this moment, many witches were already thinking about Arantir. Why did this undead plague erupt in the city when Death Lord Arantir came ?!

First of all, the magicians of the kingdom of Bracada hated necromancers. Although Arantir had become their ally because of his reputation, the vigilance in their bones made the witches blame this incident on Arantir! Therefore, after working all night and finally putting down the chaos in the city, the remaining Bracada forces in Fort Dendera spontaneously besieged the Arantir camp!

Iron golems and stone gargoyles stood expressionlessly around the army camp. Behind them were bloodied dragons and a small number of witches. Jin was already floating in the air. They formed a tight siege above the camp of the undead army.

Under the protection of a group of giants, Astrals, Solmyr, Gelu, and other witch heroes ride their warhorses towards Arantir's camp. All of them had similarly terrifying pale expressions.

The victim has been reported. Inside the fort, there were about seventy thousand gremlin troops, almost all of them were wiped out. Only a few of the thousands of mage apprentices remained. Moreover, the forest guard troops had lost a third, and the witch and dragon army had suffered varying degrees of casualties. Only the iron golems, stone gargoyles, jinn, and giants did not suffer any losses.

In other words, in just one night, the entire fortress had lost over half its population!

Previously, they had not thought too much about it during the suppression, but now that the number was depleted, both Astral and Gelu felt so sad that they could not breathe.

In particular, the Astral group usually thought that losing slaves from lower races like the gremlin was no big deal. But after completely losing the gremlin, they realized that the factories and workshops in the fortress could no longer produce iron golems and stone gargoyles, either, and there are no more workers to strengthen the city's defenses and build structures…

　

　

This plague was very strange, but they had to find an explanation!

So, when he stood in front of Arantir's camp, Solmyr was the first to make his move. He raised his hand, smashed the gates of the camp with a powerful bolt of lightning, and roared, “Arantir, out! If you don't dare to come out, I will break all your bones into powder! “
