Chapter 1080: Commander Dennis
When the first wooden barrel exploded in the drow reserve team, the drow hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem.
The wooden barrel exploded, and the off-white liquid splashed everywhere, and quickly dispersed after contacting the outside air. However, no matter whether the drow elves smelled or touched the gray-white gas, they did not show symptoms of discomfort.
One after another, large wooden barrels roared towards them.
Someone reported this situation to the mistress Cynthia.
Cynthia was a little suspicious. Having suffered a loss once, she became very cautious. Although the gray liquid in these large wooden barrels did not show any lethality, other traps could not be ruled out.
Therefore, she immediately ordered the herald to blow the whistle to withdraw troops, and let the second and third teams that were attacking the city retreat temporarily to rest.
However, as soon as the whistle for retreat sounded and the army had not yet regrouped, screams rang out from the crowd.
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
In the area hit by the wooden barrel, those drow elves who touched the gray-white liquid rolled all over the ground in pain, tearing their skin like crazy.
The corpse spots that had already dissipated appeared again, and they were densely packed, even more terrifying than before!
However, the color of the corpse spot has changed from the original off-white to blue. It seemed that the drow elves who fell down and rolled around turned into monsters with swollen green skin, and then stood up crookedly again.
Zombies!
The drow zombies seem to walk crookedly, but the instantaneous speed of the pounce is very fast! The drow warriors who were attacked by the first batch of zombies were also infected after being bitten a few times.
What's even more frightening is that those who didn't directly touch the gray-white liquid, nor were they bitten by the zombies, also started to have the same symptoms as the distance went from near to far, and turned into zombies while screaming!
"This is a virus! It is a virus developed by humans and can spread through the air!"
Mistress Cynthia's pupils shrank, she looked towards the top of the city, and said sharply: "You despicable and vicious human beings! You obviously believe in the Lord of Light, but you have created such a terrible virus! Your Lord God will not forgive you!"
After a pause, Mistress Cynthia gritted her teeth and said, "This virus will only kill you and me! Your people,
Don't even think about escaping the catastrophe! "
Cynthia and the two priestesses waved their hands and cast spells at the same time, generating dozens of energy whirlwinds, wrapped in gray-white mist, and whizzing towards Baishi City.
Kama Weasel Wind is not a powerful skill, but in this case, it is the ultimate move that Mistress Cynthia can come up with!
On the city wall, Bonita watched this scene, her little face under the mask turned pale with fright.
"This, this... I have been taking care of this kind of thing? Are the whole city going to be poisoned now?"
Mistress Cynthia laughed loudly when she saw the gray mist sweeping across the top of Baishi City.
"Very good! Even if it is death, the drow will make the enemy pay the same price."
ten seconds.
Thirty seconds.
One minute.
Time passed, and the people on the city wall remained silent.
Mistress Cynthia suppressed the uncomfortable itching all over her body, and said in a hissed voice, "No, it's impossible! You all took the antidote beforehand? Everyone in the city?"
If the whole city took the medicine in advance, such a large-scale move cannot be kept secret. The drow elves are not fools, and there are a few eyeliners in Baishi City.
Cecilia shook her head slightly, and said loudly: "Cynthia, you are wrong. These wooden barrels are just a primer. If you inhale them directly, you will not be poisoned... because the real toxin has long been lurking in your body!"
"What do you mean?" Mistress Cynthia's heart sank, and she suddenly thought of the plague killer she had taken before.
Cecilia said: "Two years ago, the polymath developed the Plague Buster series of medicines, which can detoxify patients with the undead plague, but they can't take effect on those patients who have been deeply poisoned, so he developed another series of medicines. A drug that can transform the carrier and author of the undead plague virus into a walking dead named 'zombie', this drug is called the 'Ultimate Plague Buster'."
"The ultimate plague nemesis will not restore the poisoned life forms to their original state, but will only turn them into zombies to get rid of the control of the Lord of Plague. This is another way to eliminate the plague."
"In the past two years, polymaths have been thinking about how to deal with the Plague Lord, and have conducted research on the basis of the original Plague Buster, and have achieved fruitful results."
"This time, in order to prevent you from turning against each other, Dio ordered the polymath to make a small modification to the ultimate plague buster. After taking it, it can effectively suppress the undead plague virus, and it will not become zombified for the time being."
"But if it is paired with this primer called 'zombie-inducing liquid'... even if you inhale just a little bit, it will immediately induce the ultimate plague-killing medicinal power in your body, and accelerate the onset of zombification!"
Cecilia looked at the disbelieving mistress Cynthia from a distance, and concluded: "In other words, your zombification is because you have taken the ultimate plague killer, but we haven't... So, you want to die together , is impossible."
When Bonita heard this, she finally felt a little better. At least what she kept and transported was not the deadly poison, but the medicine.
But it was just a little better, Bonita still felt that she was not pure, and she had to go to the chapel to pray and repent when the war was over.
Mistress Cynthia felt that she could no longer suppress the itching of her skin. She looked down and saw that the originally fair skin had been covered with ugly blue spots.
"You guys have planned this step from the very beginning! After using the drow elves, we will all be slaughtered, as evidenced by what we did in the antidote! No matter whether we turn our backs and attack the city, the end will make no difference! "
Gathering up her last strength, Mistress Cynthia shouted loudly.
Cecilia shook her head again: "No, Dio has ordered the polymath to prepare another drug that can eliminate the side effects of the ultimate plague killer. If you continue to cooperate and help the Northland resist the remnants, these drugs will be handed over to you .”
"This kind of nonsense to deceive the elves, go back and coax the children. I don't believe it!"
Mistress Cynthia suppressed the deep regret in her heart, and shouted stiffly.
Afterwards, she couldn't restrain the itching anymore, screamed and used her nails to draw bloody red marks on the skin.
The priestesses, Marcia and Alba, had already turned into zombies, roaring and rushing towards her.
Mistress Cynthia's vision was covered with blood.
In the last dim consciousness, Mistress Cynthia seemed to see a line of black spots rushing towards the plain in the distance.
...
"The whole army is ordered to kill these deformed monsters!"
"Archer troops, at a forty-five-degree angle, three rounds of projectiles!"
"Cavalry advance in the center! Cut open these monster groups and separate them! Infantry phalanx, surround and annihilate!"
Outside Baishi City, a well-equipped and well-trained army quickly attacked and strangled the drow zombies in front of them.
The defenders of Baishi City were still vigilant at first, until they saw that the comers were flying the flag of the Imperial Army.
Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief: "Dior is here."
In fact, the advance army sent by the empire had arrived in the Northland Province two days ago, but it had been lying in ambush.
It wasn't until today, when the last batch of plague-killing drugs arrived at the drow elf camp, that Bai Xiaowen used the fiefdom order to come to the Northland again, and secretly contacted the commander of the imperial advance army, Viscount Dennis.
If the drow were honest, Bai Xiaowen would not have killed them all.
However, the drow elves who believed in Rose, the Queen of the Spider, really couldn't be hooked on the four words of honesty and duty. Bai Xiaowen didn't want a group of allies who might betray at any time, so he designed this plan, which can be regarded as fishing law enforcement.
With the Imperial Advance Army, there is no need for drow troops as allies anymore, which is why Bai Xiaowen let the drow tear their faces apart.
Riding on the back of Wrath Claw, Bai Xiaowen watched Viscount Dennis giving orders, and the elite advance army of the empire wiped out the drow zombies, but many thoughts flashed through his mind.
This commander named Dennis, who was only thirty-two years old, was an upstart of the Plantagenet Empire. After the death of Earl Denton, he won the trust of Emperor Nicholas IV.
Nicholas is a wise king. He wants to promote the young generals he values. He will not assign important tasks casually. Instead, he will put the opponent on the frontier where the war is fierce first, and then reuse him after he has made meritorious service.
This is both a test and a hone.
Bai Xiaowen could vaguely feel that Viscount Dennis spoke and behaved very respectfully and politely towards him, but there was a trace of fear and guard in his heart.
That is to say, Bai Xiaowen is so sensitive that he can detect it. If it is another person, he will definitely not be able to see the hidden thoughts of Viscount Dennis.
After all, Bai Xiaowen is a visitor from another world, and many high-level officials in the empire already know this.
Although Nicholas IV obeyed Bai Xiaowen's words, he must have thought a lot before adopting his opinions and would not blindly trust Bai Xiaowen.
This is the consequence of exposing the identity of the awakened one, and it is difficult to gain 100% trust from the aborigines.
Although Bai Xiaowen was needed to guard the Northland and an advance army was sent to support him, Nicholas would not let Bai Xiaowen gain command of this army.
Viscount Dennis's hidden vigilance is a clear proof - Bai Xiaowen guessed that before the advance army set off, Viscount Dennis should have received a hidden instruction from Nicholas IV.
This is also considered normal. The awakened person has no bottom line in doing things, because he can slip away even if he causes a catastrophe. Therefore, only focusing on immediate interests is a common feature of awakened people, and Bai Xiaowen is no exception.
In case Bai Xiaowen cheated the advance army for some greater benefit and left Kane, where would Nicholas IV go to settle accounts with him?
For example, a colleague with a good relationship with the company, if you know that the other party will leave the company at any time and go abroad, and you will never contact him again, would you feel comfortable lending him a large sum of money?
To Nicholas, this advance army was much more important than money.
"Once the awakened person reveals his identity, he will no longer be able to hold an important position of real power in the aborigines' forces. At most, he will be a consultant, staff officer, etc. He is qualified to advise but has no command power."
Bai Xiaowen concluded secretly in his heart. As early as when entering the spirit world for the first time, the rules of the spirit world gave warnings, telling rookies to pay attention to their words, and not to reveal their identity as an awakened person in front of the spirit world figures, otherwise the consequences will be at their own risk.
The rules of the spiritual world do not prohibit awakened people from revealing their identities, nor will they trigger any direct punishment because it is not classified information.
It's just that revealing one's identity is usually very harmful, so the rules of the spirit world use the word "conceited consequences", which can be regarded as breaking the heart for the newly awakened.
Of course, there are also special circumstances, where the leader of the aborigines has 100% trust in the awakened, and will give the command to the awakened.
Just like the plane of Biaron, Bai Xiaowen single-handedly created the black knight lord Goliath and the forces of the kingdom of death. Gloria's second "life" was given by Bai Xiaowen, and she trusted Bai Xiaowen 100%—but such an example is too extreme.
"Your Excellency, Commander, please leave the most dangerous mistress Cynthia's incarnation monster to my team. This will not only reduce the casualties of the soldiers of the empire, but also give us a lot of rewards," Bai Xiaowen said.
The identity of the awakened person is exposed, and there are also some advantages. For example, Bai Xiaowen just snatches monsters and kills bosses with confidence, and there is no need to make excuses at all.
