Chapter 39 Death Awakening
Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Outside Kaiyuan City, there is a mass grave in the wilderness.
The gray sky is covered with dark clouds, and the snow on the ice sheet has begun to gradually melt after the end of winter. Near the mass graves that were once battlefields, Enzo, dressed in a black robe, slowly walked on the muddy land. .
As he moved forward, he looked around and finally stopped in front of several raised mounds of soil.
"Almost, right here."
Enzo said to himself and looked not far away. There were several corpses buried in several mounds. They died not long ago. Because it was a cold winter before, they had not yet completely decomposed, which just met Enzo's needs. .
After two months of practice, Enzo has mastered the witchcraft death awakening.
However, it still takes many attempts to convert the learned spells into real combat power. After learning [Shadow Stealth] and [Shadow Spear] before, Enzo had tested them in the underground training ground in the castle. , but [Death Wake], which can enslave the dead to fight, cannot be used there.
So, he came to this mass grave.
Taking a deep breath and calming down, Enzo slowly raised his hand, concentrated his mental power, constructed the runes needed for death awakening in his mind, and at the same time released the magic power in his body to cover the surrounding area.
"Death wakes up!"
As Enzo muttered a spell in his mouth, black mist began to emerge from the surrounding ground, and the mounds where the dead were buried loosened. Withered arms emerged from the ground, and then bodies crawled out of them. A lifeless wight.
"1, 2, 3, 426."
Enzo looked around and glanced at the corpses summoned by him. There were 26 corpses in total. Driven by witchcraft, these already stiff corpses stood up again and acted completely according to Enzo's will.
"Next, let's see how powerful these corpses are in combat."
Enzo's eyes flickered, and he controlled the corpse to leave the mass grave with a thought.
After walking all the way towards the north for two hours, Enzo found his target.
A snow bear!
This area already belongs to the far north of the icy plains. It is not surprising that there are snow bears. After discovering the lone snow bear, Enzo directly ordered the ghouls to swarm forward and pounce on it.
"Kill it!" Enzo ordered in his mind.
The Snow Bear, which was originally sleeping next to the rock, woke up after hearing the sound of running corpses. It shook its huge head and let out a roar. Then it raised its giant palm and hit the front corpse. ghost.
Bang!
The huge fleshy palm hit the body of the ghoul, knocking it directly into the ground. Both legs were simply broken. At this time, the other 15 ghouls had already approached the Snow Bear and pounced on its body. .
Roar! The snow bear roared angrily, shook its body desperately, and threw the ghouls away.
However, this does not make any sense. The corpse ghost that fell from the Snow Bear will pounce on it without fear of death in the next second. Even if the head is broken, it does not care. It was even smashed by the Snow Bear before. After entering the ground, the corpse with broken legs also crawled out, relying on its two arms to move forward.
It didn't take long for the Snow Bear to feel a little exhausted.
Half of the corpses were still hanging on its body and biting, while the other half had become mutilated under the violent attack of the snow bear. Most of them had lost the ability to move, and the worst ones even had only one broken one left. The head and half of the upper body.
The battle continued, with Enzo standing not far away and watching with his hands behind his back.
"The combat effectiveness of a single ghoul is very weak. If you consider the combat skills, I'm afraid it is not as good as an ordinary knight." Enzo looked not far away, thinking, "But they have no pain, are not afraid of death, and are absolutely obedient. Order, if there are enough of them, even the great knights may be surrounded and die!"
"It's almost time to end."
Enzo whispered to himself, mentally ordering the corpses to launch the final attack.
Bang! The huge corpse fell with a crash, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
The Snow Bear finally died under the siege of the ghouls. Its body was dripping with blood and covered with countless small wounds. Almost all the ghouls belonging to Enzo were also wiped out. The few remaining ones also completely lost their combat effectiveness and could not even move. It's very difficult physically.
With a thought, Enzo lifted the witchcraft.
The zombies who lost control of their magic power turned into stiff corpses again, and Enzo also ended the test, turned around and left here, and walked quickly in the direction of Kaiyuan City.
Half an hour later, Enzo appeared at the gate of Kaiyuan City.
The guards on the city wall knew Enzo and quickly opened the city gate and welcomed him in.
"Is father back?" Enzo asked casually to the soldiers beside him after entering the city gate.
"No, Master Enzo." The soldier shook his head and replied respectfully, "Sir O'Quinn has not come back since he led his army to the battlefield half a month ago. However, the scout just sent back news that our army and the black Crow City has just experienced a battle, and both sides should be able to recover a little."
"That's it." Enzo nodded slightly, his eyes thinking.
Two months ago, although the alliance between Kaiyuan and Golden City won a victory, the pace of the war did not stop. Andrew, the Lord of Iron Horn City, had proposed peace talks, but O'Quinn directly inserted Anthony's head into Iron poles on Kaiyuan's walls in response.
Andrew was filled with grief and anger, and he wished he could immediately send his army to attack Kaiyuan City!
But he also knew very well that O'Quinn, who had regained his strength, was unbeatable on the battlefield, so in desperation, Iron Horn City could only send an alliance request to Black Crow City, the last force in the Cold Plains.
Black Crow City is the oldest city in the ice field. Many years ago, it was also the most powerful force. It is said that at its peak, it had 12 great knights. The army swept across the icy plains and even included the Blood Wasteland and the abandoned areas. middle.
However, even such a powerful force failed in its attempt to establish a kingdom and fell.
After that, Black Crow City fell into silence and has been keeping a low profile for many years. No one knows how many great knights they have. They only know that this city still has a strength that cannot be underestimated.
Not knowing what price Andrew paid, Black Crow City finally agreed to form an alliance.
As a result, the original five major forces on the ice sheet became two groups, each fighting separately for half of the land.
This war officially started half a month ago, and the cause originated from Giant Wolf City!
After Enzo killed Anthony, Andrew and Angel guarded the Iron Horn City in order to prevent Kaiyuan City from launching a large-scale attack. The Giant Wolf City only sent a large number of troops due to its towering walls and was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Several veteran knights guarded the place.
Since Giant Wolf City originally belonged to the Direwolf family, after it was occupied by the Iron Scythe family, there are still many knights from the Direwolf family in the city.
As for these direwolf knights, because they were surrenderers, their status was naturally inferior to that of the Iron Scythe knights, and they were quite discriminated against in various matters. Even some senior ordinary Iron Scythe soldiers dared to point fingers at them.
Among the direwolf knights, there is a knight named Ronald Snow Wolf.
He is a veteran knight who is still distantly related to the Direwolf family by blood. After surrendering to the Iron Scythe family, he has been ostracized by the Iron Scythe knights due to his status, and he is often ordered to perform some very humiliating tasks.
