Chapter 81 Deadly Recipe
Pushing through the bustling crowd, I squeezed to a tent at the edge of the cemetery, where a simple wooden table was piled high with bottles and jars...
Commander Carlos jumped into a grave and pulled out a masked man...
It's easy to tell from his distinctive bald head that this doctor-like fellow was a brilliant scholar in his lifetime!
......
"Friel, we have a distinguished guest!"
Freer, a member of the Royal Society of Pharmacists, dusted himself off and nodded to Carlos.
"This must be Lord Lorraine, the newly appointed Plague Messenger, right?"
Doctor Freer looked Lorraine up and down, his face showing his confusion...
How did the unassuming infantryman Lorraine become the special envoy in charge of the Plague Messenger in just one morning?
......
"Hello, Mr. Freer."
"Lord Lorraine, you're too kind. I heard this morning that you went to Undercity. I thought that the gift of gratitude that Orlist asked me to pass on to you wouldn't be able to be delivered to you in person."
The doctor took out a package.
"This is the Holy Priest's Crown of Orlistat. And some Yurev family heirlooms; these relics were sealed away after they awoke..."
?
"What Orlister means is that you freed Yurev from his predicament. He had long since abandoned the Holy Light and joined the Shadow of Oblivion, becoming a Shadow Priest. I also have a few intermediate healing potions here. Consider them a token of my gratitude for saving the Gravekeeper."
......
"These items should be useful to you. At least they were useful this morning, Lord Lorraine..."
......
Lorraine readily accepted the gift... He also had healing potions in his bag, though they seemed to be of lower quality... All along, even when injured, Lorraine had foolishly endured the pain...
......
“Mr. Freer, just call me Lorraine. I’m not an adult. Thank you for the gifts. I really like them…”
“Yes, Lorraine was a good lad. Look at his physique, he must have been very young when he died. I’m good at reading bone age, I can tell the age of each of you before you died.”
Centurion Carlos pointed at Freer with an air of seriousness, "You and those old devils like Orlist were all around seventy or eighty years old when you died!"
"It's really inappropriate to call a young person 'adult'..."
.......
Dr. Freer said earnestly, "That's not quite right! Although I may have been quite old when I died, if I died later and Lord Lorraine died earlier, he could still have been older than me..."
"Then I can tell from the extent of the damage to your bodies!"
"I've already changed quite a few of my belongings..."
Two veterans from the Forgotten Ones began to discuss this in earnest...
Lorraine seemed to see two old friends chatting idly...
Who could have imagined that Silverpine Forest was about to face a fierce battle! Countless warriors will fall on the front lines...
......
Messengers constantly moved through the cemetery, contacting various military units.
A corps of a thousand men has already marched to the front lines.
The vanguard of the Gravekeepers launched a surprise attack on the Dalaran sentry camps surrounding Orsen Farm. The main force is converging on the Elim Mine on the outskirts of Ambermill.
They need to clear a buffer zone in preparation for a large-scale offensive!
......
Silverpine Forest used to have everything... Undercity's forces could barely hold a few points.
The Forgotten Ones have few reserves.
The Dark Queen Sylvanas has never before considered using the killing of living people to convert them into Forsaken to replenish her forces... This time, Gilneas and Dalaran have taken the initiative to provoke them, and the Scarlet Crusade is stirring in the heartland.
The Queen realized that the Forsaken had no choice!
.......
This war mobilization is a complete sweep of the enemy's territory.
The undead left behind by natural disasters and wandering ghouls around the main roads will be eliminated by the legion's soldiers.
As for the Moonfury werewolves, undead beasts, and wretched spirits scattered throughout the valley, Undercity issues bounties to lone wolf guilds or adventurer guilds within the Horde. These guilds can earn merit by clearing out the remaining monsters...
.......
Once Undercity breaks through the two strongholds of Orsen Farm and Elim Mine, Burnwood Village outside Shadowfang Keep will become the next target.
Burnwood Village is located right outside Greymane Wall of the Black Gilneas Kingdom.
The village was full of Gilnean exiles, shackled and infected with werewolf magic...
They were under the control of Lord Godfrey, who was in charge of eliminating all potential infected individuals, whether they were infected with the undead plague or the werewolf curse.
They will all be driven out of Gilneas and become cannon fodder in the defense of Greymane's Wall...
......
The Gilneans who participated in the attack on the Forsaken of Undercity were mostly forced into the war. They originally only wanted to hide behind the Greymane Wall.
Lord Godfrey and his gang, guided by Archmage Arugal's speculations, pointed their swords at the undead...
If Gilneas's conservatives successfully capture Serborgshire and reclaim Silverpine Forest, they will be forced to step down...
......
The determination of Undercity is unmatched by humans who hide behind the walls!
Although the gravedigger commander Carlos appeared to be chatting and laughing, he had not forgotten his mission.
He led Lorraine to meet in turn with Hadric, the executor of Serbercher; Dalar, the mage of the Forsaken Undead Research Society; and Belduga, the alchemist's envoy from Undercity.
With only one objective in mind: to capture Burnwood Village and eliminate Arugo.
......
In addition to the soldiers guarding the graveyard, Undercity is conscripting Horde adventurers to assist in the battle...
A vanguard team of tauren shamans, troll hunters, and orc warriors arrived from the Barrens of Kalimdor.
They gathered in small groups, plotting to earn military merits.
Everyone was eager to show off their skills!
Following the main group to pick up the scraps... a complete rout.
These kinds of opportunities are quite rare...
In regular military battlefields, unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach...
......
Because Roland is the [Plaguebringer]...
He inexplicably transformed from an infantryman into a staff officer in the command headquarters for this operation.
He watched Carlos and the tribal war envoys discuss battle plans on a makeshift map, while he stood by, utterly bored...
He was supposed to be an advisor, but nobody cared about his opinions...
......
Time ticked by, and Lorraine began to panic...
“I can’t stay in Thurbercher; I have to go to the front lines and fight in person.”
It's best to act stealthily... It's uncertain what kind of commotion we might cause... There could be a lot of vengeful spirits and corpses on the battlefield.
Lorraine's right eye has recently stored very few vengeful spirits.
Aside from the spirits of Thule and the arcane sorcerer Joseph, the vengeful spirit of Yurev, which was thought to have vanished, has not disappeared...
When Lorraine looked at his tombstone, accepted the gifts, and examined the Yurev family heirlooms.
Lorraine discovered that Yurev's remnant soul, which was originally extremely weak, was growing stronger!
It was as if a ball of anger was burning fiercely...
Inside the prison of his runic right eye, the necromancer Thule & Duckclaw, the lich Deiflin, the blood inquisitor Veshas, and the recently absorbed arcane mage Joseph, along with a host of remnant souls, trembled in fear in a corner...
Not far from these several clearly larger and differently colored groups of souls, there were also many ordinary blood-red human soldiers, militiamen, and gnolls.
Including some wild beasts and fishmen... their remnant souls and spirits are much smaller.
Lorraine had always thought that they had been used up.
It seems that their negative energy was actually consumed, and their remnant souls were imprisoned in Lorraine's rune right eye!
......
Not only did Lorraine discover this, but his teacher, Rowling, also discovered the blind spot.
All the power that Lorraine had accumulated in the past was absorbed by the rune in his right eye. Now that Lorraine has learned more skills, the magic power in his body can no longer support him to cast multiple spells!
According to Rolin's understanding, all the attribute points he gained along the way were taken away by the rune's right eye!
......
In other words, the teacher limited the disciple's magical growth; his mana was too low...
Even after learning numerous life-saving skills, I still run out of mana after just a few uses...
The right path now is to continue absorbing more vengeful spirits on the battlefield.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to break through that shackle!
......
Lorraine insisted on going to the front lines, and Carlos couldn't stop her. After all, judging from her appearance, Lorraine's combat strength wasn't high; she could be considered a novice mage...
An ordinary necromancer. By chance, he caught the eye of the Undercity leadership and was given the title of Plaguebringer!
Everyone thinks so...
It was nearly afternoon, and all the legions were ready.
Commander Carlos, the gravedigger, gave the order: "All troops, attack!" Officers of all ranks obeyed!
Because although Carlos was a centurion, he also served as the pre-war commander of the Bat Air Force, the commander of the Gravekeeper's garrison, and the living map of Silverpine Forest!
He knows everything about heaven and earth, and is a battle-hardened spirit both in life and in death. He can also control and train dark bats!
He is the battlefield commander assigned by Undercity for this battle.
By the way, the special envoy is Lorraine, the plague messenger.
However, most officers ignored Lorraine's presence as the overseer...
......
Faced with the scorn of the crowd, before setting off, Lorraine couldn't help but ask Centurion Carlos:
If he single-handedly defeats Archmage Arugal or any other enemy commander, is there any special reward...?
Carlos was both amused and exasperated. "I never imagined that the Plague Messenger wasn't after fame, but rather greedy for money..."
"Life forces me to, life forces me to. I'm not greedy. Weapons, food, potions, recipes, gold and silver jewelry, cloth and wool, leather and herbs, gold and silver coins, anything...anything..."
Lorraine nodded modestly:
"Of course, I'd also accept magic books and enchantment scrolls if they're available. I love learning... I love magic! I love research!"
"Also loves experimenting."
Lorraine weighed the anti-magic potion in his hand; it was a treasure given to him by the great apothecary Preston...
......
Commander Carlos, the Gravekeeper, twitched at the corner of his mouth:
Lord Lorraine is indeed eager for knowledge...
"Hey, hey, Carlos, you don't believe me!"
Carlos shook his head, turned around, mounted his bat, and went to inspect the front lines...
......
"are you ready?"
"Teacher, what is our plan?"
"Charge straight in!"
"and then?"
"And then it was all over..."
"Can't there be a little strategy, a little anticipation, a little surprise? Teacher, don't you want to unlock your power? Aren't you looking forward to the effects of your eyes?"
"Looks like I have 8 hours left... I'm about to be completely finished..."
"I will protect you, teacher..."
"I hope so..."
