Chapter 188: day of crusade
Time passed little by little, and the night faded.
"The rituals of the shamans don't take effect for a long time, from midnight to sunrise, which is midnight. If the night is shorter, the duration will be even shorter." James introduced to Panda, "It was determined after discussion. The plan is to prevent the monsters from continuing to attack and make the camp unable to resist. After the sunrise, the ritual effect disappears, and the monsters will lose the idea of attacking the camp - yes, there will be a very amazing scene at that time. It's extremely rare to appear, and it's an eye-opener."
Panda was overjoyed at first, and put down the worries in his heart, and then he said that he was a little curious, not knowing what that "eye-opening" was, and secretly looking forward to it.
It wasn't long before he saw what he called an "eye-opening" scene.
When the rising sun appeared on the horizon, the monsters who were attacking wildly suddenly froze, and then they fought each other like crazy. The one who was fighting side by side in the last second, the next second has already killed the comrades beside him, and many monsters rushed to the corpses of the monsters in the trench, biting and swallowing them desperately.
This bizarre scene made everyone who saw it for the first time stay there. It was nothing like Panda who had not thought of it at all, and James, who was already mentally prepared, was no exception.
After a while, the panda frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
"These beasts would have killed and devoured each other. They didn't do this before because the ritual attracted all their attention. Now the ritual is invalid. For them, how can we have prey around us behind the wall? Does it matter?" James shook his head, "To describe them as 'the rabble' is an insult to the rabble!"
Only then did Panda understand what it was, and finally understood why the Mulandana crusade system could be maintained for a long time.
If there is no such effect, the beasts will attack wildly day and night, no matter how strong the copper wall is, I am afraid that it will not be able to resist.
Like now, as long as you fight for half a night every day, it will naturally be much easier.
But he breathed a sigh of relief and frowned again.
He clearly saw that after a Demon Beast tore apart and devoured the corpses of many other Demon Beasts, it suddenly raised its head and howled, and then the hair on its body quickly changed color, from gray to blue-gray, and its size also grew rapidly. In time, it has grown by about a third, and even a single horn faintly appeared on his forehead.
This is the evolution of Warcraft.
By killing and devouring each other, monsters can plunder the power of other monsters, and after accumulating enough power, they can evolve to become more powerful and long-lived higher races.
Of course the panda knows about this kind of thing, but seeing it with his own eyes is the first time.
Afterwards, he saw more monsters evolve one after another. At a glance, at least one-tenth of the massive monsters surrounding the camp had evolved.
"How do you solve the problem of the evolution of monsters?" He asked without going around in circles, pointing directly at the monsters.
Seeing the scene of a large number of monsters evolving outside, James' face was also solemn: "According to experience, the speed of evolution of monsters cannot keep up with the speed of their loss. In the last few days, some monsters will evolve to a very high level. The extent of it, but there are only a few. As long as those few beasts are killed, the entire crusade is a success, and the only thing left to do is to finish the work.”
"In every crusade in the past, most of the main battle losses came from this last battle." The old knight said, "When I joined the Patrol Division, there were ten knights in a team, and four died. In the previous crusades, there were still three disabled and retired, all because of the last battle."
Panda took a deep breath. Seven of the ten knights lost in battle. Such a huge loss made people shudder.
For a long time, the crusade of Mulandana faced such losses, and tried its best to fight against the beasts of Wolf's Nest Lake year after year. land of life.
For this, they paid a huge price.
Thinking of this, he looked at the knights in the camp with more respect.
No matter what the character and position of these people, at least in terms of courage and sacrifice, they can be called the role model among the knights, enough to be an example for people to learn from!
"The last battle is the most tragic." James sighed, "You can find a way to avoid other battles, but the last battle can't do anything, you can only be tough."
"What if we fight earlier?" Panda asked. "For example, before the beasts have evolved to that point."
"No matter when the fight starts, the fight that starts is the last fight," James replied.
The panda immediately understood and sighed deeply.
He looked at the people in the camp below, humans, orcs, and some other races; regulars, adventurers, orc rebels... I don't know how much this temporarily formed crusade will be left after the last battle. ?
I hope that at that time, with his strength, I can help a little and reduce the loss a little...
After the melee battle, the monsters finally restored peace temporarily. They devoured the corpses piled up in the middle of the night and dispersed. By noon, there were no traces of monsters outside the camp, only the blood on the ground and the stench in the wind, which proved the fierce battle last night.
At this time, the clergymen came out one after another, and each cast spells to clean up the remaining blood stains.
This is not just for clean and beautiful, but more importantly for safety. A clean battlefield is relatively unfavorable to Warcraft, and it can at least offset part of their power. Although after the fierce battle, the battlefield will return to what it was before, but even if it only consumes a little more of the power of the beasts, it can make the final battle easier.
Anyway, it's still too early for a decisive battle, and everyone doesn't need to save their strength. At this moment, they can use their strength to the fullest.
Panda did not participate in the purification work. He was a paladin, not a priest or a priest. The "civilian" was better at purification. Like him, he is almost a thug in the clergy. Although if necessary, he can also temporarily serve as a civilian, but since there are real priests and priests, it is certainly not the paladin's turn to do the purification work.
During the day, in addition to resting, many brave men also took the initiative to leave the camp and hunt monsters nearby.
Just like purifying the battlefield, even if you can't kill many, but you can kill some, kill some.
Moreover, the bodies of the beasts killed now can be dismantled and put away. They will not become nutrients for the growth of other beasts, and they can also provide loot for everyone. Why not do it?
The panda also went out the door and destroyed a few monsters.
In the close combat, he understood the difference between these monsters and ordinary monsters-they had a strong evil aura, not the kind of ferocity, but the nature oozing from the soul. evil.
This kind of evil had only been felt by demons in the past, and even those villains in the world did not have this kind of evil that originated from the soul.
After just one fight, he clearly understood that there is absolutely no possibility of peaceful coexistence between this kind of thing, humans, orcs, and all kinds of intelligent creatures who want to live in peace.
Without him, it's just a conflict of nature.
The living beings in the human world generally belong to the group of "naturally good". Although there are also very few of them who are evil by nature, compared with this kind of soul, it is really evil.
It is no wonder that over the years, Mulandana has been able to continuously organize a crusade to suppress the beast tide in the area of Wolf's Nest Lake.
Behind this, I am afraid that there are also various churches that have been supporting...
