As the fireballs converged on the target, the cries of the infected beasts came from the front. Obviously, they had escaped the teleportation of the Demon's Gate. However, when Rody saw the corpses of the infected beasts that were killed by the fireball, he suddenly felt that they were different from the ones he had seen before.
"What's this? Mutated? "
"Something's wrong with the team …"
Merlinsera's expression turned grim. Roddy immediately quickened his pace. When they returned to the area where the team was, they found that they were surrounded by a large group of Doomsday Guards and infected beasts. Normally, these enemies should be easily crushed, but now Roddy realized that the situation was not as optimistic as he thought.
Because Teflin, who was supposed to be fighting on the front line, was lying unconscious on the ground!
At the same time, the demons attacking the position had also changed. Their bodies were strong and muscular, and they were obviously putting a lot of pressure on the barbarian soldiers and the Dragon Lance Knights.
This was also because the ten arcanists had exhausted their magic power, and it was difficult for them to relieve the pressure on the front line with the help of the Spellcaster Institute. Akasha, the only one who still had the ability to cast spells, was running back and forth in the formation. She was holding a scepter in one hand and a mid-level magic potion in the other. Not only was she healing the heavily injured soldiers, but she also pulled out Yogesa's white bone staff and cast Bone Prison at the gap where the demons were charging at the most!
If she hadn't risked her life here, this temporary formation would have fallen!
Roddy and Merlinsera both felt a lingering fear.
A wave of AOE spells covered the battlefield, and Merlinsera instantly tipped the scales of victory. With the help of this powerful sorcerer, the surrounding demons were immediately cut down one by one. Soon, only the cries of the infected beasts could be heard on the battlefield.
Roddy didn't participate in the battle. He carried the unconscious Nora and walked into the team. His silent movement immediately gave the chaotic soldiers a backbone. Seeing this, Roddy was relieved and ordered, "Take care of the wounded. We don't have to worry about the ambushes from behind. Erwin! Take a team and capture a few demons for research! Don't kill them all! "
"Yes! Boss! "
Roddy put Nola aside with a serious face, then started to check on the unconscious Teflin on the battlefield. He was not surprised to find that the "Bloodline Awakening" icon had appeared on the status bars of these Teflings. He immediately realized that the last wave released by the Demon's Gate might have a deeper purpose.
Just how wide was the range of his release? What was this Demon Monarch trying to do?
… …
At the same time, the battle outside Elsen City was coming to an end.
Thousands of fleeing Beastmen were scattered in the forest. Even if Zodelor wanted to kill them, he didn't have enough people to chase after them one by one. Thus, he could only try his best to chase after the larger number of Beastmen. Killing as many Beastmen as possible and destroying the enemy's morale was the strategic goal of him personally leading the chase.
Zordlor, who was proficient in tracking, encountered many scattered orc deserters along the way, but he wasn't in a hurry to stop and kill them. Instead, he relied on the hoofprints he left in the forest to determine the direction of the largest group of deserters, and chased them all the way. After more than 20 minutes, he finally caught up to the elite group led by Warlord Lacor!
"Kill! Leave no one alive! "
Zodelor ordered without hesitation. His warhorse instantly sped up, and he raised his spear slightly. But at this moment, an inexplicably powerful aura suddenly swept through the forest, causing the trees to shake.
Then, there was an angry roar from the Beastmen in front of him.
"What's going on?!"
Zodelor shouted in shock at the scene before him. He watched as the Beastmen on the backs of the warwolves suddenly had purple veins appear on their bodies. Then, their muscles began to swell. Like a balloon being inflated, their bodies instantly became burly!
"Bloodlust?"
While he was puzzled, he saw the Beastmen who were part of the guards turn around to intercept him. He stabbed his spear through the first Beastman that charged at him. Just as he was about to pull out his spear and stab again, he felt the spearhead firmly stuck in the opponent's muscles. The Beastman howled and pulled, and the spear flew out of his hand!
"Damn …"
Zodelor immediately realized that something was wrong. The opponent's strength and reaction speed were far beyond the level of the previous Beastmen. He pulled out his sword and closed in, only to find that the Beastman's face was distorted. He couldn't tell if it was pain or anger. The muscles all over his body that had swelled several times almost burst through his leather armor.
The Beastman brandished his weapon to attack, but Zodelor was much more experienced in riding. His enchanted sword parried and stabbed, and the Beastman in front of him who had used too much strength and lost his balance was stabbed in the throat. The Beastman clutched his neck and fell off his warwolf.
Although he had easily defeated the enemy, Zodelor's expression was very grave.
He keenly sensed the changes in the Beastmen's bodies, and the surrounding Dragon Spear Knights collectively encountered unprecedented resistance. The Beastmen's strength and speed had increased by more than 30% in an instant. Their counterattack caught many knights off guard, and some were even pulled off their horses on the spot. If not for the timely reinforcements from the rear, some of them would have been torn to shreds by this group of violent Beastmen!
Facing this kind of enemy, Zodelor decisively stopped the chase and immediately led his team to retreat. At the same time, he didn't forget to order, "Send the signal!"
This' signal 'wasn't the traditional signal of an arrow or smoke. Beside Zodelor, Adjutant David took out a prismatic stone with a groove. He inserted a crystal into the groove according to the steps he had learned before, and then aimed it at the Beastmen who were already running away and activated the spell formation …
The distant central floating space tower slowly began to rotate.
In the forest, Raphael Warlord, who had shaken off his pursuers, finally returned to the rear. At this time, his troops had completely changed, and he himself had been affected by the mana fluctuations. It was as if he had gone berserk, and his body had grown larger.
The battleaxe he had been using had even become light in his hands, and he could feel that his reaction speed, strength, and dexterity had increased by a large margin. Although he didn't understand what had happened, it wasn't a bad thing to have more power. He resisted the urge to go back for revenge and looked at the floating space tower with awe. He immediately ordered, "Quickly gather everyone, we're retreating!"
"Boom!"
However, just as he finished speaking, the "cannonball" that came from the Central Floating-Space Tower exploded above their heads. Amidst the violent explosion and flames, the group of elite guards and Lacor himself were instantly engulfed by the flames, becoming the second Overseer to be killed by Weapon "53" in this land.
In another direction, Warlord Duda, who had been forcibly dragged away by his adjutant, was slightly luckier. Because there was no one to command him, his personal guards were much fewer in number. After being chased by Zodelor, they had lost a lot of men and horses, and in the end, they scattered into small groups. After Zodelor stopped, the dozen Beastmen escorting Duda were lucky enough to escape.
The strange fluctuations also caused Duda, who was unconscious on the warg's back, to change as well, but he still didn't wake up. Even when the group stopped and the adjutant laid him flat on the grass, the Beastman Warlord still showed no signs of waking up.
There were only seven soldiers left who had escorted Duda out. Although each of them had a strong body after the mutation, they still needed to eat and drink. After confirming that there were no pursuers around, these Beastmen were so tired that they sat on the ground to rest. But these exhausted Beastmen didn't realize that not far from them, the giant snake had finally raised its body and looked at them with a pair of cold eyes.
On the other side, Zodelor's team had begun to take the surrendered Beastmen into the city in batches. To the powerful Elsen City, any Beastman who dared to rebel here wouldn't survive more than ten seconds. So even though there were more than two thousand prisoners of war, Camilla, as the "guardian", wasn't worried that the Beastmen would rebel. A few Beastmen who tried to resist were immediately turned into ashes by "Arcane Missiles" that fell from the sky. The Beastmen were so frightened that they completely lost all their courage and obediently lined up to enter the prisoner camps allocated to them in the city.
At present, the threat of the Beastmen had completely subsided, but Zodelor, who was standing at the city gate, still felt a lingering fear. The airstrikes from the floating space tower could deal with the Beastmen, but what if the mutated Beastmen attacked other places?
"There's still another main force. I don't know where they are."
He thought of Sauron, who had led his personal guards directly into the hinterland of Cullen, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
*****
Thousands of miles away in Bergen's territory, Sauron, who was charging forward, suddenly felt a drastic change in his body.
His profession was a "witch doctor" among the Beastmen, so he had a sensitivity to the rhythm of the elements that others couldn't reach. At this moment, as a burning sensation spread throughout his body, Sauron felt as if some kind of power had suddenly exploded in his blood, rapidly changing his bones and muscles, and filling his body with a wonderful power …
It had only been a few seconds since the "Demon's Gate" disappeared, and Sauron's vanguard troops were only 300 meters away from the human army that had formed a defensive formation.
When such a large-scale group charge was launched, there wasn't much Sauron could do. To put it bluntly, life or death was up to fate. But at this moment, feeling the power that was about to gush out of his body, he inexplicably chanted the incantation he inherited from the witch doctor Sarota. He cast a "Voodoo Blessing" towards the Wolf Rider Warriors who were also experiencing a mutation at the very front!
Sauron was actually not good at casting large-scale spells. His strength was in casting powerful buff spells on single targets. So at this time, he originally expected to be able to affect no more than 10 soldiers. But the moment the spell was cast, he saw that more than 300 Wolf Riders in front of him were all affected!
Originally, the effect of this spell was not that great. It could only temporarily increase the defense, recovery, and a little strength of the soldiers' bodies. But now, Sauron watched helplessly as these Wolf Riders condensed solid armor on the surface of their bodies!
These armor flashed with a purple light, and did not affect the movement of the Wolf Riders in the slightest. Instead, their defense was instantly raised from leather armor to plate armor.
More importantly … the wolves of these Wolf Riders were also affected by the buff spell. All of their fur stood on end, and the surface of their bodies were covered with armor. Their running speed suddenly increased by 10%!
