Invincible Chapter 608

In the side hall of Lordaeron's royal city, a court mage suddenly threw himself at Terenas and blew himself up.

It must be said that this was an assassination operation with a high probability of success.

This Mage Assassin didn't even switch to the Curse Department, which is common in the Scourge Army, but still uses arcane spells. This makes it extremely deceptive, and even the investigation of the Holy Light system has missed it.

And the timing of this assassination was also very good.

Normally, even if Terenas is not sitting high on the throne, keeping a distance from the person being interviewed, or wearing armor and being protected by personal guards.

It is only in a situation like the present that leaks will inadvertently flow out.

The bodyguard is not far away, but the mage assassin is even closer!

Seeing that Terenas was about to be killed by the self-explosive assassin who turned into fragments of flesh and bones.

There was a flash of light and shadow in front of Terenas, and there was an extra figure.

Immediately afterwards, there was an explosion, with strong light shining and blood splattering. The core radius of this explosion was almost 5 meters. Not to mention Terenas' advisor, even the rest of the court mages were affected.

The scene after the explosion was very tragic. Those who were closer to the explosion disappeared, and those who were farther away often had bone fragments embedded in their bodies. Not only the damage caused by fragment injuries, but also mana toxins, that is, assassins. Deliberately not tempering when ingesting magic power, so that the harmful energy exceeds the standard, and it is used to harm people at this moment.

Due to the tremendous power of the explosion, no one at the scene could stand still. Even the guards were blown away by the impact and injured their internal organs. One of them vomited blood, obviously seriously injured.

The professionalism of the guards and the sense of honor in their hearts made them immediately get up and rush to check Terenas' situation.

It turned out that Terenas himself moved the person on top of him and stood up.

Unscathed, only messy clothes, slightly embarrassed. Terenas looked around with a gloomy face, and then gave orders to the guards who rushed in after hearing the noise in a deep voice.

Ten minutes later, Terenas, fully dressed and protected by a new group of guards, listened to the report in the war room.

He released the news not long ago that he had been seriously injured by the bomb and was on the verge of death. The guards who rushed in, except for a few who he believed to be credible, were all grounded to prevent apostates from leaking the news.

One of his stand-ins,

Arrive secretly, play the role of the seriously injured, and receive treatment in the treatment department with other wounded. And he activated another system to deploy troops here.

With such deliberate acting, I naturally want to see who will jump out and make trouble at this time.

Terenas knew very well that along with the assassination, there must be a pretender to the throne, and even the assassination itself was related to it. If he can't take the opportunity to find out and get rid of it, how can he be worthy of this near death?

"Your Majesty, that man is dead. When he was protecting His Majesty, the special spell he cast seemed to be sacrificing his own life."

Terenas's face was as deep as water, he couldn't see any expression, and his voice was very calm, he asked, "What about your identity?"

The reporting person submits a written submission.

Terenas looked through it, and it listed the person's past in detail, including his family, sponsors, and so on.

"The remains were embalmed and stored in the underground palace. This is the end of this matter. According to the relevant records, it was the magic weapon I wore that worked on stress and saved my life."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Terenas knew it well, and he guessed that it was probably Kane's handwriting. It doesn't require too much evidence to speculate on the character of the character. Among the top figures today, that Prince Garin is the only one who can do this kind of thing, and also has the ability and conditions to do it.

Terenas was very angry, not because Kane had placed men near him. Every king is doing this kind of thing, and the intensity of investment and the results are different.

What made Terenas angry was that he, who claimed to be an eagle, was actually taken care of by a junior. He's too old to handle the life of a king? This is just daily life, not a tricky political game.

If one room is dead, why do the family and the country in the world do it?

Although there are no such refined proverbs in this world, there are still sayings with similar meanings.

Applying it to Terenas, he can't even take care of his basic personal safety, so what kind of political game is he playing?

The achievements of the past have now become a backdrop for incompetence, and Terenas is angry at this.

Coupled with the betrayal of his son Alsace, Terenas' self-confidence was a little shaken.

This also means that he needs a decent victory, not only to regain his confidence and face, but also to relieve the resentment in his heart.

At the same time, Kane received an urgent report about the assassination of the palace of Lordaeron and the death of an agent.

"Is it really that simple?"

Kane's suspicious character flared up again.

Assassinate Terenas and make troubles in Lordaeron's royal city while taking advantage of the chaos. Maybe with the rescue of Arthas?

To be honest, Kane couldn't think of a more serious possibility.

After the Stratholme Incident, countries including the Kingdom of Lordaeron have long remembered it. The management of entry and exit of lifeline materials has been strengthened.

Moreover, the King City of Lordaeron is a key cleaning area. It is not the usual house-to-house investigations by officers and soldiers, but through the belief of the Holy Light, the neutrality between the enemy and the enemy is separated. Scale-aggregated soil?

Insufficient scale, just a small force, is not enough to cause too much damage to a city in a short period of time. But as time goes by, the power of the government will enter the field forcefully. After all, it is their own territory, and with the assistance of the public, it is difficult for cult members to survive, let alone cause trouble.

Therefore, Kane couldn't think of the possibility that the royal city of Lordaeron could become the second Stratholme.

That's why it feels weird. I don't understand what move the Scourge is playing.

At the same time, in Beiliu Fort, after nearly 4 hours of fierce fighting, the battle finally came to an end.

This land, which will be recorded in history as a bloody battlefield, is still full of bloodthirsty and passion.

Even Fengxue seemed to feel this, the cold wind rolled up the broken snow, sprinkled it one after another, circled and floated, embellishing the hot battlefield with a strange beauty.

Due to the excessive casting of spells in the area, this area has been reduced to a zone of magic disorder, which seriously affects the casting of spells and the effect of the spells that are running.

For example, the magic eye used for observation is affected by the disturbed magic power, so it cannot see clearly.

Even, from time to time in the void, there is a smoky ray of light shining, which is a violent magical turbulence. When it appears in a lower area, the creatures that unfortunately crash into it will know how terrifying behind the magnificence.

The Scourge still refused to concede defeat.

To be fair, changing Kane's perspective from the opponent would also feel unbalanced. After all, the battle loss ratio is too ugly.

At the beginning, it seems that there is no difference, and even in terms of the general trend, the natural disaster side is more winning.

However, now that the abhorrent corps are exhausted, the number of copper puppets has not decreased much.

What happened?

In fact, it's nothing to put it bluntly. It is the copper puppet, strictly implementing the 'piranha tactics'.

In Kane's words: "On the big battlefield, only rookies can fight with passion, and veterans rely on discipline, tactics, and finally combat skills."

It is not easy to implement this tactic. You can't be afraid of war, and you can't be reckless, you can't be sharp, but you can't be greedy.

The Makai ogres did it because they were puppets.

The essence of piranha tactics is to advance and retreat in an orderly manner. Observing piranhas eating, you can have a deep understanding of this. Individual piranhas go up and take a bite, then withdraw, and the immediate part behind...

On the battlefield, completing this set is easier said than done.

And the copper puppets didn't take advantage of it and leave, but resumed evacuation and injury evacuation.

This once made the battle appear stalemate, and even the illusion that natural disasters are dominant.

In fact, whether it is a single soldier or an array, the copper puppets are stronger, and the abominations rely on huge losses to achieve a winning effect.

It's a pity that the volunteer army basically has no morale. The secondary dragonmen may collapse in the face of the charge of the abhorrent corps, but they failed to meet them. For minions, that scene can also be called hanging.

Under the command of the war drum, the formation of the secondary dragonmen was constantly moving in the wilderness, like sections of embankments, resisting the tide of natural disaster cannon fodder troops.

Every time there is a collision, there are always a large number of low-level undead, dying like waves smashing on the reef.

And almost every quarter of an hour, there is a round of fierce waves and big defeats, nearly 4 hours, more than a dozen rounds, one can imagine how many low-level cannon fodder the Scourge died.

But they are still tenacious, the gargoyle flies low and blows the horn, and the scattered and dazed ghouls and skeletons have a backbone when they hear the sound of the horn, and chase after them.

There is no way, this is a big battlefield. Even in the daytime, if you are in it, you have no idea what the overall situation is like. Even without a flag, you can't tell which side is the enemy and which side is the friend. To the corpses strewn all over the wilderness. With the brains of ghouls, if they are out of the group, they don't even have a target, let alone a skeleton without a brain.

And it's night now, even if they have night vision ability, not everyone can see the night as a cloudy day, but with the farthest vision, no matter how far away, it will be misty darkness.

In this case, on the contrary, it is a special instrument horn with energy fluctuations, which is more useful.

The Scourge still knew that their fists had to be clenched, and only when they were retracted and hit were they powerful enough. So every time the cannon fodder soldiers disperse after a wave of shock, they will gather together and then attack again.

Of course, this work must be done in conjunction with other types of attacks. After all, the volunteer army is not dead, and it will not just watch the enemy regroup again and again.

The method used by the Scourge to cover and gather stragglers is magic strike.

Cursed Wizard, Bone Mage, Corps-scale spellcasting.

Since the spell is cast in groups, the recruitment is also very obvious. From a distance, the sky is illuminated by the light of magic power. That is the start of mass casting, just like what you see when you watch the artillery position fire from a distance, but it is more magnificent.

Although the secondary dragon troops have been moving, they still mainly fight against magic. Not only is the movement speed not as fast as the strike speed, but also because the magic strikes are guided. The archmages of the Scourge Army are responsible for network guidance, and the areas locked by their mental power are the landing points of those magic strikes.

The magic strike is like a wave of shell bombardment, drawing an arc trajectory in the sky and flying down.

The secondary dragons used the defensive force field scroll again, as if propping up a huge luminous turtle shell, making most of the attacks ineffective. Even if they can penetrate a small amount, the power will be greatly reduced, which can be carried by humans.

He was wounded to death, he needed to be treated, he needed to send out the array, and there was a dedicated person to do it, while the others continued to march silently, listening to the drums and orders. No conversation, not even much expression.

This is the individual in war. Compared with the overall situation, most of them are unable to confirm their own situation, but are almost mechanical, offering their own strength until victory or defeat. ()
