Out of the cage

The safe development of tomorrow's leadership in 581 is based on the overall stability of the situation in the north. Since the orcs failed in the battle at Stone Forest Castle, they have given up on breaking through from the north, but in the south of the continent, a black cloud of death is shrouding them.

The new round of orc invasion has added a layer of darkness. In the manic trend of the invasion, the orcs who were originally healthy and strong are now as if they were cursed, with countless scars on their skin and crawling pustules.

The orcs love power, but magic is their shortcoming.

Whether it is elves or human mages, when passing on advanced arcane science, they will give serious warnings to their apprentices: any magical field called "taboo" is an ocean hiding all kinds of monsters. When you When immersed in the assistance brought by these magics, you must be wary of its corrosion on the body and soul.

Eyuan: The difference in arcane magic between tribal shamans and elf mages is often not the power of the spells, but the ability to deal with taboos.

When the orcs struggled in the long war, generations of shamans would continue to challenge traditions in pursuit of improving the combat effectiveness of the race, and eventually they would come into contact with forbidden powers.

Nearly a hundred years ago, the Orc Shaman Association found an ancient magic weapon called "Void Conquest."

This magic weapon was sealed by an old shaman in the past. Oh, this old shaman died of exhaustion when Er Yuan exploded the portal in the battle of Hader Town. The shamanic forces of the "Summoning Sect" that he represented were merged with the shamanic forces of the "Catastrophe Sect". Therefore, this magic weapon also fell into the hands of the Natural Disaster Sect.

The shamans of the Scourge Sect believe that they can use the power of the "Void Conquest" magic weapon to pry open the scars on the continent to gain endless power, and the orcs only need to fight within the operating range of the magic weapon.

However, the power that comes so easily has a side effect, that is, killing will be accompanied by a curse. Of course, this "curse" is very honest, and feedback is based on the number of heads killed.

In other words, if you kill many weak ones, the curse will increase. Only by killing opponents who are equally powerful as yourself can you gain strength at the lowest cost.

In a concentration camp, a group of human slaves who were knights were driven into the field amid the wild shouts of countless orcs.

One by one, the orc warriors were eager to take on the challenge. Once a knight is chosen as the challenger, an ax is thrown in front of the knights and the showdown begins.

For these human knights, they only need to win three challenges to survive and protect a hundred civilians from being killed for ten days.

At this time, some orc warriors had already won the bloody battle. In the blood light, they became larger and their muscles became stronger.

Of course, even if they die, human knights will not be "buried". The orcs would chop off the heads of the defeated with axes and offer their brains to the shamans, who would then throw them into the green flames and burn them, turning them into fluorescent skeletal instruments.

In contrast to the fiery orc gladiatorial arena, the orc shamans were busy summoning rituals.

The shamans began to arrange a magic circle that shone with strange green light - this magic circle exuded the aura of death, and in the center was placed the magic weapon "Void Conquest". This magic weapon is amorphous. It looks like a knight's sword at first glance, and then changes into a battle axe.

Whenever the winner of the arena changes, the magic weapon will change accordingly. When the winner can defend the victory, the magic weapon will burst out with black breath, like black venom soaking into the earth.

Almost all the orcs stayed away from this place.

…The moon gradually climbed high in the sky, but it became strange under the blood mist…

In fact, no living being has a favorable impression of necromancy.

But in any large group, the ruler will be "forced" to make trade-offs for the sake of interests. In the end, "the pure can be used and the dirty can be used."

There are millions of reasons for human mages to contact taboos, and the same is true for orcs.

The magic circle changes according to the transformation of the celestial body cycle. When the orcs arrange this immortal magic circle, on a full moon night, the green death energy will spread along with the magic circle. At that time, the entire mountains and rivers will be enveloped with an aura of death. .

Under the aura of death, hundreds of kilometers of vegetation quickly turned yellow, whitened, and finally shattered at a touch, as if they were scorched. This green space suddenly turned into a lifeless and dead place. Even if the orcs established a settlement here, they were soon forced to leave and find a new place to live.

A huge sacrifice is held every month and a large number of lives are sacrificed.

Just like the recent sacrifice, a total of ten thousand porcupines, harpies and ogres were tied up with rusty iron chains in wooden cages in the magic circle. In the burning of the undead flame, their life force is being squeezed out.

These servants will not just die. The black eye holes of these skeletons are shining with strange light. They will serve as the loyal slaves of the shamans to mine and explore the road.

...And the disappearing life energy flowed into the starry sky, and the bloody moon became bigger and redder like a greedy tick...

In the Dragon Bone Mountains in the south, rows of undead were standing. Some undead still maintain their original nature. For example, when the undead transformed by gnolls, ogres, and human skeletons stand together, the three will become violent with each other, and the orcs and shamans must be driven separately according to the group.

And unknown and terrifying giant beasts, waving wings connected with broken bones and blood vessels, soared over these phalanxes, scattering clouds of black mist, solidifying some skeletons that were about to fall apart.

When the wizened-faced shamans and mages on those weird skeleton chariots in the Death Army formation gave orders, some of the skeletons who received the orders paused, then thought about how they died, and roared and wanted revenge, but the orc mages The chains of their souls suppressed their anger and became a tool again.

Dozens of kilometers away from these skeleton phalanxes is the main force of the orcs, with a total of fifteen thousand orc warriors. Following the battle flag of their own tribe, they are moving towards the north. Such a killing force is destined to bring more blood and death to the south of the human kingdom.

…The wind and clouds are turning, and fate begins to drill holes…

In the year 581 of the Holy Shield Calendar, it was a day full of destruction and killing for the southern part of the kingdom, and the black tide surged from the south.

Since the Tomorrow Territory is connected to the southern region of the Kingdom by rivers, in order to prevent a refugee wave and plague and other unexpected events in his own territory, on the day when the crisis broke out, Eryuan began to go south. After thinking about it, he felt that his identity was in The gap between the noble circles in the kingdom was too great, so he made a magical communication with Sirolina of the Wave Territory and made an appointment with her to meet in the southern fortress area.

However, to Eryuan's surprise, Sirolina had already led the army to support the southern front. Riding a griffon, she led her own knight formation. When she passed by Tomorrow's Leader, she directly scooped Eryuan into the team. Take it south.

As a logistics officer, after joining Sirolina's army, when he saw the griffin with a wingspan of fifteen meters and brightly colored fur, Eyuan suddenly felt that it was better not to ride his ram.

Eryuan thought to himself: "By the way, one day I will get a dragon to ride on?"

After five days of traveling against the wind, Eryuan and Sirolina, as mages, deployed teleportation arrays at intervals on the road in advance to allow the baggage and supplies to pass quickly, while the troops marched southward quickly and quickly arrived at the southern fortress.

In the southern fortress of the kingdom, General Lunos decided to hold on to the fortress when he learned that the orc troops were far superior to his own. At the same time, he issued an order for all the nobles in the territory to evacuate with their people.

Humans are standing tall in this area, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. But in fact the retreat was undisciplined and turned into a disastrous rout.

Arriving at the fortress of Eryuan, during the journey, he saw a large number of teams composed of nobles, soldiers and civilians fleeing along the road. The defeated soldiers and civilians continued to spread the depressing words "It's over, it's all over" and "Failed, run away."

At this time, Sirolina's team was still on the way to the fortress. Armed with bows, arrows and spears, they arrived at the fortress' Eryuan in advance. Looking at the children and women who fell in the mud, they suddenly decided what to do.

When he saw another rout of the southern troops using their spears as crutches and stumbling towards the north, Eyuan put his idea into action.

Eryuan stood in the middle of the road, raised his hand to cast a spell, and the huge water element condensed in the middle of the road. He said to the fleeing people: "Women and children can go. Men, pick up weapons and follow me to stop the undead!"

The strong spiritual power inspired the soldiers, and the fleeing soldiers stopped silently in shame. Eyuan lit the lantern to treat the guards.

The injured soldiers were healed in the melodious singing. Although the defeated soldiers did not know who the mage was, they were now willing to obey orders.

Eyuan started to go in the opposite direction along the road. On the way, he met some nobles who abandoned their land and fled. Due to the haste of their escape, Eyuan could not get any news, but Eyuan still organized his troops and started to attack in the reverse direction.

Eryuan soon encountered the first wave of fighting. Behind the escapees, a large number of "grey bat-winged" monsters appeared, killing backward women and children.

Thirty kilometers in front of the fortress, Eryuan looked at the inhuman beings in the sky and on the ground.

Feeling the fearful expressions of the newly organized soldiers behind him, who were holding weapons tremblingly, he took a deep breath and stepped forward directly.

Sirolina, who was gathering the defeated troops in the name of her family on the road, hesitated for a moment after discovering Eryuan's unexpected action and did not stop it.

Narrator: If Eyuan is allowed to collect the broken troops here, she will not be able to organize the broken troops into her own forces and bring them to the fortress area. However, according to the requirements of the fortress commander, it is indeed necessary for a noble to lead a group of forces to conduct reconnaissance in the south.

Sirolina mounted her gryphon and prepared to volley, but at this time Eryuan had already started to take the lead.

Powerful magic light danced on Eyuan's body, and regular circles of electric light flashed in his palms. These electric energy were like springs pulling in Eyuan's palms. As Eyuan's palms turned outward, a lightning chain After strafing, more than a dozen skeletons were instantly shattered. Such a powerful spell greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers who were cutting off the rear.

However, the lightning chain soon alerted the brutal death creatures "Bat Wings" around. These bat-winged monsters were flying undead bodies transformed by orc shamans through special witchcraft and decoction after the death of the harpies. , which can also be called gargoyles, they flew over with a sharp roar.

Eyuan glanced around and found that there were only ten of them. He stared at the blood dripping from the corners of their mouths, spit out a breath of cold air, and ordered all the soldiers to form a shield formation.

...After a few breaths, the "Deathwing monsters" rushed over, looking at the human army that had not yet been dispersed from the sky...

The Deathwing monsters saw a large group of soldiers appearing among the humans who had been fleeing, forming a circular formation. They began to circle, like an eagle discovering a turtle on the ground.

Just as they were circling and preparing to charge up their attack, Sirolina's water element aimed at the sky and fired out a stream of water arrows, disrupting their circling.

Just when the Deathwing monsters were about to attack Xi Luolina, they suddenly discovered that there was another "hero unit" in the human phalanx that was shining a dazzling beam on them, and its strong vitality was very conspicuous.

This group of flying monsters haunted by the power of death still retains the social habits before becoming harpies, with a "matriarchal leader" as their lord.

When he saw Eryuan walking out of the phalanx, being hit by green death energy and beginning to stagger, the matriarchal leader, who was pale and still looked like a woman in life, suddenly showed a ferocious smile.

The deathwing monster then ejected red lights from its claws, preparing to pounce on itself for the final blow.

When this Deathwing leader was still a harpy, he often kidnapped human males. He first forced them to reproduce and then tore them into pieces and ate them with his claws. Now she has turned into this undead creature. Although she cannot satisfy her desire to reproduce, she is still very crazy about killing.

However, the target of her dive attack was not someone to be trifled with. When she dived to kill her at a speed of forty meters per second, the human male (Er Yuan) in front of her suddenly flashed a blinding bright light. After losing her vision, she thought She wanted to flap her wings to take off in an emergency, but her wings were suddenly hooked, causing her to lose control during the dive. She fell directly like a wild goose on a flat sand, and her head was penetrated by a soul-disturbing spell before it hit the ground. And Eryuan A roll avoided the impact.

Eryuan first used the dazzling light technique to shine, then threw out the fishhook in his cuffs, hooked the tattered and rotten wings, and finally held the butterfly blade tightly and pierced it as he passed by. When Master Wei made up his mind to trap it, Object, that will inevitably lead to death.

The Deathwing leader's body and abdomen suddenly wrapped around the fishing line and hit the ground. Due to the strong inertia, it dragged a fifteen-meter-long rolling mark on the ground.

Seeing the Death Wing that was still flapping its wings, Eryuan used the precise measurement of the system to project the purifying electric ball towards the Death Wing's vital parts again. Although it did not complete the fatal blow, it also left it paralyzed, as if it had a broken leg. Flapping its wings like a chicken.

When Deathwing struggled on the ground, the skin turned into mud fell down, and the death energy continued to dissipate and drain away.

The other Deathwings who hunted and attacked the fleeing people on the road seemed to be frightened. They took off instead.

Eryuan knew that according to the habits of these harpies, the mistress ruled dictatorially in a group. Once the mistress died, morale would be greatly reduced.

But Eryuan was sure that these Deathwings would not flee because of the loss of their mistress, because the sight of the civilians running away behind them would greatly stimulate the desires of these predators. After a short period of shock, they will still hunt down civilians.

So Eryuan raised his hand and used the soul control technique, controlling the Deathwing leader who had fallen to the ground like a puppet.

Under the control of the strange magic of the "doll silk", the Deathwing leader flew into the sky again, his red eyes turned green. After finishing his roll, he fluttered into the sky and issued a "pounce" command to all his younger brothers.

Obviously, the order of the green-eyed Deathwing leader was somewhat incorrect, so a stronger Deathwing said something sharply to the leader, but before the "challenger" could say anything, he was directly torn apart by the green-eyed Deathwing leader. crack.

This group of Deathwings quickly restored the leader's order and began to kill them in batches.

Faced with such a brainless pig, Eryuan threw out the acid ball that had been prepared long ago, and condensed into mist in the air - this is the "acidic phase" that Eryuan has pre-stored through the phase reaction of chemical industry, which can make Nitrogen and oxygen in the air condense directly into fuming nitric acid.

There were a total of seven acid balls, which were directly and accurately hit the face of the dead wing.

These dead wings that were killed were just hit by the acid balls, lost their balance and fell down. After falling, there were howling sounds one after another. Like ducks plucking their feathers in a down factory

Apart from throwing away seven acid balls, Eryuan basically didn't use any other magic.

Most of them rely on physical attacks, that is, relying on the thrown fishhook and lines to seduce these dead wings, and then follow the direction of their dive momentum, slightly sway them, and make them fall down.

And where these Death Wings fell, rows of rock blades just lifted up. These are improved versions of Eryuan Dithorn. These death wings rolled down along the rock blade and were cut into half pieces. Some dead pterosaurs flapped their wings, and their wings were suddenly scratched off.

The silver undercut flying needle and the technique of pulling thin threads are quite "Eastern Invincible".

Of course, for Eryuan, anything that saves energy and is easy to use is good.

When all the "Death Wings" rushed down on the order of their insane queen, they completely abandoned their minds.

And the insane Deathwing leader, after he ordered his men to charge repeatedly and failed, hovered in the air and tore apart those men who dared not charge, giving full play to the role of "supervision team".

When the last batch of Death Wings fell down, they were first used as hob meat on the clusters of rock blades on the ground, and then were stabbed and nailed to the ground by the infantry behind Eryuan. Only that " The "death wing with green pupils" hovered alone and violently in the sky.

At this time, Eryuan also released the control of the "Death Wing leader". As if the Death Wing had suddenly released its brainwashing, it looked blankly at the scattered tribesmen on the ground, raised its head and prepared to let out a sharp roar. But before he could roar or make a sound, he was interrupted by a green light that broke through the sky.

Eryuan used the butterfly blade with the power of purification to smash the black mist-shrouded death core in the chest of this "Deathwing".

As the core of the dark spell ruptured, the death creature transformed by the harpy turned red and finally golden at the last moment before death. It looked up at the starry sky, seeming to recall the beauty of itself as a life. Understand the folly of chasing power and giving up oneself. But it was too late to wake up at this time. Her entire body turned into powder with a bang as it burned, and was completely blown away by the wind.

Eryuan suddenly thought that the bloodline of the harpy also contained the bloodline of the ancient gods, but later he was cursed and the bloodline became weaker and weaker, so that in the end he no longer even knew the fear of the strong.

Sirolina, who summoned the water element behind Eryuan, looked at the nearly two teams of "Death Wings" that were killed in an instant, with a look of disbelief on her face. After the gryphon fell, she looked at the one in front of her who was younger than her. The mage, for the first time, felt the "genius" in this world other than himself. (End of chapter)
