Otherworldly White Dragon Lord

Chapter 367 Oracle and the Slaughter of the Undead

In the western part of the mainland, the Scourge is quickly rushing towards a town on the border of the Balleka Kingdom. However, the town at dawn has already broken out, and the temple priests in the town unceremoniously rushed into the mayor’s residence. The mayor was awakened very hard, and then the town's big bell used to notify the danger was violently ringed.When the half-dreaming townspeople went out in a daze to check what happened, many town guards had been organized door-to-door to inform everyone to leave the abandoned town and head towards the big city behind.

"What happened?"

"I don't know, but the mayor and priests have already ordered to evacuate immediately, the sooner the better."

"Evacuate! Now!?"

"Yes! Go and wake up all your family members and let them leave the city and evacuate immediately."

The guard hurriedly roared at the streets full of bewildered townspeople. Some people seemed to be completely unclear about the situation and hesitating to leave, while other pious townspeople went home immediately after learning that the priest had ordered them. Woke up the family and started preparing the carriage, but then everyone got a message that the mayor and the temple priests demanded that everything be thrown away. Everyone immediately, immediately and quickly withdrew from the town. The order was unprecedentedly tough.

"I can't leave my possessions! This is my life savings."

Seeing some people still stupidly guarding their money, the guards suddenly became a bit angry. When they assembled at the mayor’s mansion, all the guards had learned from the priest's mouth that the evacuation order was due to the god of the earth. Znok issued an oracle, in which the God of the Earth had clearly predicted that the dead buried in the ground would awaken and spread the shadow of death from the north.

In the temple of the God of the Earth, middle-aged male priests over sixty years old are gathering the orphans adopted in the temple and some old people who are inconvenient for long-distance travel, and the three mages are preparing to transmit the magic circle intensively.The magic spar that can be found in the town has been collected, and even the mayor smashed the vase passed down from generation to generation to contribute to the above magic spar for decoration, but these magic spars have The magic is still not enough to transport all the townspeople to the big city more than a hundred kilometers away.For this reason, only the elderly and children can be given priority.

Finally, he hugged his daughter and son. The mayor's slightly fat face showed a relieved look and watched the children disappear with the light of the teleportation circle.Although I also wanted to use the teleportation array to escape this town that was about to be swallowed by the dead, under the harsh gaze of the priests of the temple behind, even the high-ranking oneself on weekdays had to retreat with the ordinary townspeople.

The priest nodded. Although the mayor with some signs of blessing in front of him had some corruption and malfeasance on weekdays, at least he managed the entire town well, and it was the first time that the oracle was issued today. The work of transferring townspeople.After sending some old, young, women and children away using the teleportation circle, the mayor and temple priests who were about to leave received a bad news.According to a report by the guards, some townspeople insisted on taking away their property and delayed the retreat.

The blessed mayor couldn't help but cursed: "These fools, don't they know that death is coming? Let them evacuate immediately. According to the oracle of the Supreme God, time is running out."

As one of the highest rights holders of the town, the mayor himself has accumulated a considerable fortune after assuming this position, but after the priest of the temple broke into his home regardless of etiquette and issued this terrible oracle, the town Chang still made a smart decision to save himself and his family's lives. Money is just something outside of the body. Although it's a pity, no amount of money can buy life back.Obviously, as the mayor, he has made a wise decision to abandon his wealth, and has notified all the townspeople to evacuate as quickly as possible, but now these innocent fools are still entangled with this little money, damn!It's a bunch of fools who don't know good or bad.

The mayor, who almost turned into the roaring emperor, hysterically asked the guards to force the townspeople to leave. At this time, the priest on the side waved and said: "There is no time. Now let the townspeople who are willing to leave to evacuate first. Those who are not willing to leave their wealth. Since people have made a choice, they have to pay the corresponding price. We can't help them."

The mayor watched the priest in the temple stunnedly saying such cold words.The priest of the God of the Earth used to have a good reputation among the townspeople. He is an elder who has been known for his kindness and kindness. But now that he actually said such a thing, it can only show one thing. The awakened dead mentioned in the encyclical are probably not trivial.

"You also evacuated quickly. By the way, the cemetery behind the temple should be set alight before the evacuation, and the corpses buried everywhere will be destroyed."

The guards stared at the priest in astonishment, but seeing the resolute expression in the opponent's eyes, the expressions of the guards became firm: "It's sir. Let's go and execute your orders immediately."

┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉

A raging fire ignited in the cemetery, and a carriage quickly left the town and ignored the townspeople who were still caring for their own money.Even if some people tried to intercept the carriage team and demanded to bring their own property, the guards immediately taught several people with swords at the mayor's instruction.Soon some townspeople realized that this sudden request for evacuation might indeed have happened very serious, and some townspeople were quickly added to the evacuation team.

The town of more than 4,000 people was quickly emptied, and the mighty team was driving on the road. Everyone only carried a small amount of dry food. The speed of the townspeople who packed lightly was still quite fast, and they were out of sight when the sun rose. The hometown where I have lived for many years.However, there are some people who really miss seeing the morning sun.

People who are unwilling to give up their property use all means of transportation to try to carry these heavy goods, and some people lock their property and themselves in the cellar, hoping to avoid disasters no matter what happens outside.However, when the sky is full of fish belly, the army representing death has appeared on the horizon. The dark blue soul fire forms a torrent. As the undead moves, the sky seems to be covered by dark clouds, even shooting from above. The sun also became bleak.

The screams of fear broke through the last trace of luck for those who have not yet set out. People will regret it when the exact facts of the disaster come before people's eyes. The wealth that had been desperately guarded has instantly disappeared. Value, the remaining townspeople abandoned everything in fear, desperately snatching the remaining horses and fled the town madly.When the undead team on the horizon increased their speed, the entire town suddenly fell into chaos!

Why didn't I follow the words of the temple priests and flee together!!

It was too late to regret at this moment. The undead army quickly rushed into this empty town and began to kill any living beings they saw. Even hiding in the cellar would be useless and extremely sensitive to the breath of living beings. The undead can smell the breath of the living. The undead wielded their weapons and smashed open the cellar door, piercing the sword into the townspeople's bodies amidst heartbreaking screams.

Screams, wailing, and begging for mercy happened one after another, but all of these had no effect in front of the unfeeling undead. The undead simply killed everyone, and then allowed the dead to regenerate as their companions.The killing continued, and now it was too late for the townspeople who had escaped from the town. The speed of horses could not be faster than the flying beasts in the air, and death's sickle quickly harvested their souls.

"Oh~ It's really disappointing."

In the middle of the town, where all had calmed down, the death chanter Karthus slowly drifted in the cemetery that had been burned to the scorched earth by the fire. The corpses buried in it had been carbonized by the high temperature and could not be used anymore. He shook his head Karl Sass returned to the center of the undead army with a very distressed look.

The corpses of the townspeople were piled up by the undead. Ironically, there were a lot of scattered gold coins and belongings under the corpses, but the undead who killed them didn't even look at them.Of course, there are still a few living people among them, and the purpose of leaving these people alive is naturally to interrogate other townspeople.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Lich King, those townspeople have fled beforehand. It seems that the news of our existence has been leaked out." Karthus said to Arthas with a flat face.

Arthas frowned. It was supposed to be a unilateral raid to increase the force of the Scourge, but it turned out to be like this, and the most unpleasant thing was that the leak of the news was actually due to the oracle of the gods: "Those survivors can't run far, let the Scourge quickly pursue them!"

"As you wish, Your Majesty!"

Gods!?Alsace looked at the sky and gave a cold snort, then pulled out Frostmourne shining with unknown light. Surrounded by the breath of death, the corpses of the townspeople stood up again and prepared to be loyal to their new owner, but Alsace was very Dissatisfied, this town that was supposed to have more than 4,000 people ended up only adding about 200 troops to the Scourge, and it was still the lowest level of cannon fodder.

Sunvard came over on a skeletal war horse and said solemnly: "My Majesty, our whereabouts have been exposed. The Holy Capital and the Kingdom of Balaika will definitely be prepared next, I am afraid we are about to face a tough battle. ."

"The Scourge Legion still lacks the backbone. Without the assistance of the death knight, my legion would never be complete!"

Arthas reopened the map in his hand. Since the whereabouts of the Scourge was leaked, he could not march according to the scheduled plan. The course of advancement must be changed. The primary purpose is to maximize the number of legions, and then with the assistance of Sunward. Alsace found a good place, not an empty and easy-to-capture town. On the contrary, it was a sparsely populated area, but there was a main river running through the entire Balleka Kingdom, which was like a mother river!(To be continued)
