It's very troublesome to get corpses in peacetime. Even under the curse of "having no children" from countless living people and the increasingly severe crackdown of the Holy See, digging graves and stealing corpses is also a means to cure the symptoms rather than the root cause. After all, the probability of accidental death of ordinary people in peacetime has been greatly reduced, Even if the corpses died of normal aging are transformed into undead, they can only become low-level cannon fodder. Considering the problems of loose bones and soul returning to the sea of soul caused by old age, these lowest undead usually don't even have the combat effectiveness of cannon fodder.
The most tragic thing is that the identity of the dead can't even buy slaves like ordinary people. Let alone the problem of money, that is, those slave merchants in the free city who claim that they can make money and don't even care about trading with the devil dare to trade with the devil, but they dare not trade with death.
The living have a natural taboo and fear of the dead. For slave traders, even if they can make more money, they have to spend their lives. Who knows if the other party will turn themselves into a corpse when dealing with the dead. In addition to the fact that the slave traders did not have the courage, some countries and forces that had secret transactions with isolos did not dare to openly provide slaves for isolos island. After all, human slaves were boycotted both in the East and west of the mainland. Once they were found to have an official level human slave trade, they faced the pressure of the two major religious forces, Even kings can't bear it, let alone ordinary nobles.
The cost of foreign slaves is a little too high for both the dead and the secular kingdom. Privately, some countries only trade the dead prisoners. Although the crazy and cruel souls of the dead prisoners are very popular with the dead mages, after all, the number is too small or a cup of water.
It is precisely because it is more and more difficult to get the corpses that some necromancers have begun to take risks to kill people, and then rob the souls and bodies. Although the island of the dead in esolos is an extrajudicial place, necromancers are usually only busy with their own research and rarely meddle in other business, but recently, more and more necromancers have begun to go to the mainland to look for materials, Moreover, some people have not done a good job in covering up, so that isolos island has attracted more and more attention. Although for the dead, their reputation has long been smelly, and they don't care if the living are more afraid of themselves, the dead don't want to be attacked by excessive attention, To this end, the current leader of the island of the dead, the "soul guide" belsmore esolos, has been summoning people to start formulating some restrictive rules to prevent the actions of some necromancers from bringing disaster to the island of the dead.
But it doesn't matter now!
Gugel looked at the bodies of the ogre barbarians who had been continuously transported back. They were just killed. They were very fresh, and even the soul had not completely returned to the soul sea. It seemed that it was the right choice for him to stay and be responsible for observing the combat power of the scourge legion, rather than rush forward to the west to find the son of the star. However, these bodies were killed by the dead soldiers on isolos island. If they were killed by the scourge legion, the dead ogres would quickly turn into dead and join the battle.
Arthas, the Lich King, has a special ability to quickly turn any living person into a dead person. This ability has always fascinated gugel. This is also an important reason why the ogres are not enemy to the natural disaster army. If one person dies on one side, the other will have another enemy, The result of fighting like this all the time must be that there are fewer and fewer enemies. On the contrary, there are more and more enemies. In addition, the undead army is tireless and does not need food supplies and morale. In the war, the undead army has unique advantages.
Although we didn't get all the bodies of the Ogg barbarians, these are enough for the following undead to share.
In an open space behind the base camp, a slaughterhouse full of blood was running at full speed. The monks in dark robes of the scourge corps were rapidly handling a large number of fragmented bodies. Both the newly killed ogman and the previous human bodies were quickly divided and classified, Then the monks skillfully sewed different corpses together again, injected them into the undead plague and applied the undead spell. Soon, ugly and deformed giant monsters stood up and walked to the battlefield with endless malice to the living.
On the other hand, the souls of isolos are busy dealing with the bodies of the ogres who have just got their hands. Of course, there are some ogres in the middle of the period, and they are breathing at the last breath, but for the necromancer, it doesn't matter whether they live or die. Anyway, they are just materials, For this reason, these necromancers, who are not cruel but lack of emotion, don't care about embalming the living and dead bodies of the ogi barbarians equally. As for those harsh wails and screams, they are ignored by the Necromancers. Compared with the scream caused by * * pain, the real scream that makes people cold in the heart is that when the soul of the ogeman is bound by * *, the pain that can never rest is the most tormenting.
Anyway, when the ogres once wreaked havoc on the mainland, they had the habit of eating raw. They were more cruel than the dead. Whenever they broke a town, men were killed as food, while women were killed as food after being played with. Today, they are reported again and again
The dark warriors of the dead behind them also had red fierce light in their eyes, as if they were touched by the bloody smell of the battlefield, and they were fond of killing and fighting in the depths of their souls. If these soldiers had not been ordered to stick to their base camp, they might have rushed to the battlefield to fight happily.
After all, they were soldiers in front of them. Even after their death, they did not completely forget some unforgettable memories, not to mention some who deliberately transformed themselves into undead in order to obtain strong power, or to continue to meet their belligerent * *.
"Take it easy, souls eager to fight. Although I know you are eager to fight like your excellency Ingelheim, this time we are guests and need to obey the arrangement of the host. In the future, there will be opportunities for you to show your skills. This war is not the last war." Feeling the longing in the hearts of his compatriots around him, gugel comforted with a gloomy smile.
"Yes, this is not the last battle, but the first step for the great Lich King to conquer this sad and barbaric race." Calthas, the death chanter, floated over with a staff in his hand.
Seeing the arrival of the important officials around the Lich King, gugel also bowed slightly to pay tribute. After all, even if he became a dead, the belief of the status of strength in the world is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although gugel is a dead mage who has specialized in dead magic for many years, he has not broken away from the shackles of * * and become a lich in essence, In front of calthas, he is an invisible Lich. On isolos Island, only the current leader belsmore is included. A total of no more than five necromancers have successfully become lichs.
"It has to be said that the scourge Legion is stronger than expected, but the OGE barbarians seem to have noticed the situation. According to the detection of scouts, it seems that a large number of OGE barbarians have abnormally begun to gather, and their number is conservatively estimated at more than one million." Praise goes back to business. Gugel also put forward some situations to be faced next.
Calthas gave a gloomy laugh and seemed to care nothing: "it's useless ~ it's useless how much it's coming! Death will devour everything. These Ogg barbarians swarmed up. As a result, they can only add more soldiers to the Scourge army."
"If it's only the Ogg barbarians, I believe the scourge Legion can do it."
A powerful death knight, a terrible monster, a meat grinder used to attack the city and pull out the stronghold, and an endless stream of new undead magic! Gugel believed that calthas and his powerful Lich King could really do this. After entering the wild land of the far north, the army of the dead chose to infiltrate secretly in order to avoid a direct showdown with the ogemans. So far, the natural disaster army that destroyed several ogeman tribes has devoured nearly 700000 ogeman lives, Every time, the quantity and quality of this army have made a new leap. More and more hate monsters appear in the army instead of slow zombies. The equipment of skeleton soldiers is good or bad, but almost one for each person. The violent beasts of ogman have become the lifeforce of the Legion, and the magic messenger has taken on the responsibilities of necromancer and Chamberlain.
Up to now, gugel doesn't understand that after being transformed into undead, those savage magic messengers almost learned the basic undead magic of the scourge Legion without teachers. From ignorance, they have become experienced mages and chamberlains to create more war machines for the scourge Legion. How did the Lich King Arthas do it, What kind of magic can make these savage creatures save the intermediate learning link and almost jump to the sky and become a unique existence!
Under this crazy phagocytosis and expansion, except for the most powerful death knights, the other arms of the scourge Legion have not increased substantially. With the passage of time, they have become more and more powerful. Until now, the ogres finally found themselves attacked, they rush to assemble their troops, but now the army of the dead has grown to be strong enough to fight with them, If we can defeat the next army of Ogg barbarians, then this wild land in the far north will completely become a hunting ground for the dead!
"But I think... We're almost at the limit."
"What!?"
A smile more embarrassing than crying appeared on gugel's dry face: "demon ~ Lord calsass!"
"Devil!? what devil ~" calthas obviously hasn't figured out what this sentence means.
"It is said that a long time ago, the ogre barbarians were selected by the demons from hell as the vanguard force to wreak havoc in the main material plane. The technology of creating violent animals mastered by their magic messengers is also said to be derived from the gift of the devil. Now we have killed too many Ogre barbarians, and the negative feelings around us are already very strong. I think it won't be long before the behind the scenes master of this barbarian race will come back Come on. "
Calthas said disdainfully, "if so, it would be great. Last time a sad devil talked nonsense in front of his majesty. As a result, do you know what happened to him?"
"How on earth..."
Before gugel could finish asking, a black flame burst into the sky in the middle of the ogre barbarian army. (to be continued.)
