Chapter 375 Playing with Fire and Getting Burned (I)
In the evening, horns calling for help, burning smoke, shrill screams, and carrion-eating crows all intertwined in the sky above the Bull Territory.
"Signals for help are everywhere!"
"Sir, the sentry found that there is a suspected gray fog environment in the surrounding villages."
"Report, the reinforcements we sent to Bull Castle have been defeated by the strange Corrupted God's Chosen. Her attack power is very terrifying. We are trying to gather the remaining soldiers."
"There are villagers who are being hunted by rotting corpses, and they will soon come into our sight."
"Sir, it is a corrupted creature that is spreading and killing people everywhere. The surrounding villages have been swallowed up by the zombie tide. We need support."
A series of battle reports were handed over to the commander of the fortress, Andrew. Looking at the battle reports in his hand, Andrew frowned and looked at the carrion pouring into the fortress with an unkind look: "Damn it, I know these vampires can't change their drinking habits. A habit of blood. The priest really shouldn’t have made an agreement with the wight.”
"Is there a misunderstanding? At least the monsters below have no intention of attacking us." The adjutant thought for a moment, "We should ask the priest for his opinion."
"Well, this matter needs to be kept secret. Many of the border troops are from surrounding villages. If they know about the rotting corpses and the destruction of their families, they will go crazy immediately."
Although everything around was destroyed by the rotting corpses of Field's men, the people in the fortress could not tell the difference.
"Report, that bug monster, uh, I'm talking about Miss Broken Wings, she was seriously injured and is heading to the fortress." Another soldier ran over and reported to Andrew.
Andrew breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go, we have to ask her what's going on and why the corrupt creatures started attacking us."
"Wait, Lord Andrew, look!"
Ofili was full of energy at the moment, controlling the carrion corpses he had just controlled, and kept driving ordinary people towards the Bull Fortress.
The rotten corpses with hideous faces and sarcomas on their bodies were chasing after their former relatives and friends to kill them.
The astonishing smell of blood on the corpses immediately caused a commotion among the rebel corpses. If it weren't for the pressure of the God's Chosen One that kept them from moving, they would have started killing by now.
"Goddess above, that's my father!" A soldier on the city wall couldn't believe his eyes and jumped up in excitement.
"My child, she turned into a rotting corpse, ah ah ah." A middle-aged soldier rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Damn it, I knew I couldn't let the rotting corpses in."
"We are betrayed!"
"I shouldn't believe your nonsense. Give me an explanation, you beast." There was an angry soldier who directly grabbed the sect believers next to him and started punching and kicking them.
"Haha, you are playing with fire and burning yourself." Field held the artifact telescope and watched from a distance.
After defeating the rescue legion in the fortress, he led the army non-stop and arrived at the fortress.
Field sneered, "I contracted the Corruption Chosen, but I dare not make it public. How dare you let the people and soldiers know about it."
The human heart is fragile and easily broken.
"Ofili, add more fire to them."
Field issued the order cruelly.
"As you wish." Ofili directly applied the mad zombie aura to the villagers' corpses.
The speed of the rotting corpses increased instantly, and sixteen fleeing villagers were immediately knocked down from behind and bitten by the corpses.
The soldiers on the city wall exploded directly. A large number of local soldiers in the Bull Territory screamed, either trying to save people or questioning their superiors. They were already in the state of mutiny.
"Jie, Jie, Jie, that's it." Field licked the corner of his mouth, looked at the chaotic situation on the fortress wall, and said coldly, "The moment the soldiers see their relatives turned into corpses, can you still defend the fortress?"
Although recruiting border troops can quickly obtain soldiers, it is not reliable at all.
Let a small number of believers control a large number of border troops and open the door to the rotten corpses. The fortress is simply a powder keg that will explode at a moment's notice.
"Ofili, it's time to bring in more ordinary rotting corpses and start causing chaos!"
Immediately, one to two hundred brand-new carrion corpses appeared on the horizon, coming from various villages in the Bull Territory. As for the heavily armored carrion, Field did not let them attack. He just pulled out some of the rotting corpses and pretended to be rebel corpses, creating chaos.
When Ofili controlled the carrion and attacked the rebel carrion, the rebel carrion, which had suppressed its desire to kill, immediately fell into restlessness.
"Pfft~"
A carrion that was originally obedient could no longer hold back its appetite. It grabbed the soldier beside it and bit his neck open, causing blood to flow into the column.
As if a signal, all the carrion returned to their wild nature.
The zombies stretched out their fangs and greedily devoured all life in front of them.
The soldiers could no longer endure the continuous mental attacks, and regardless of the repeated orders from their superiors "not to attack the corpses", they immediately slashed all the corpses around them.
Human beings couldn't tell which side the carrion belonged to, so they just chopped and killed them randomly. The rebel corpses couldn't tell who the enemy was, so they just rushed towards the place where there were people, knocking over a group of soldiers in an instant. Once the corpses started to eat people, the surrounding corpses became even more bloodthirsty and violent.
Almost instantly, everything inside and outside the fortress was in chaos. The three forces were involved in a melee. There were shouts of killing everywhere. What was even more terrifying was that there were still corpses pouring in from outside.
Field laughed loudly: "No need to hesitate, throw in all the rotting corpses, including armed rotting corpses, and rush directly into the fortress while the fortress door is not closed! No matter what the cost."
As soon as she finished speaking, Rosalia rushed directly to the fortress, slicing down both humans and corpses along the way.
Field was not hesitant. He drew his long sword, led the collected border troops, and rushed to the fortress under the banner of the stolen Bull Leader, pretending to be broken.
"Damn it, stop it." Andrew's eyelids were twitching wildly, and the chaotic scene made him feel helpless. "Close the gates everywhere first, Adjutant, go and straighten out the discipline. What's going on?"
"Sir, some of the border troops who surrendered to us directly rebelled against us." The adjutant was about to burst into tears. "The believers and the border troops also started fighting, and there were damn rotting corpses."
"I knew these losers were unreliable." Andrew almost fainted. "No matter what means you use, stop the soldiers from attacking the corpses."
The adjutant protested with red eyes: "Then let the corpses slaughter us?"
"Idiot, you know what! The rotting corpses we have here are just the tip of the iceberg. There are more than 30,000 elite rotting corpses, and the three corrupted gods are not under our eyes, but on the front line!"
Andrew almost screamed: "The priests let the corpses assist in the battle. If we suddenly offend them, the adults far away on the front line will be finished!"
The Shadow World Sect frequently kills and sacrifices, which means they are destined to have insufficient manpower. And when the rotting corpse they relied on suddenly attacked them, he couldn't even imagine the consequences.
"It's late... Sir." The adjutant swallowed hard and turned to look at the fireballs shining outside. "The induction magic tower of the city defense puppet has been activated."
