Kitts glanced at Archbishop Arlo with lingering fear, then shrunk his neck and obediently returned to Bai Xiaowen's side.
Archbishop Arlo didn't say much. Although he didn't agree with Bai Xiaowen, they were still on the same side.
"Boss, the doctor asked me to give this to you." Kitts handed Bai Xiaowen a small wooden box.
Bai Xiaowen took it and opened it. There were two rows of small bottles inside, each containing a different colored liquid.
[WD-03 Inducing Liquid: Attract the attention of all WD-03 virus infected * (zombies) within a 500-meter radius. They can't wait to give you a passionate hug and kiss! Lasts for 30 minutes.]
[WD-03 Disguising Liquid: Disguise yourself as a WD-03 virus infected, causing all nearby infected to treat you as one of their kind and not attack you. Friendly reminder: Remember, this thing can only last for 10 minutes!]
The above two improper instructions naturally came from the Zombie Doctor's manual. Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and thought for a while.
"How is it? Can this be used?" Li Shuyi asked in a low voice.
"If the manual is correct, then it should be very useful. However, I still have to give it a try in advance, in case I get tricked by the Zombie Doctor. "Bai Xiaowen answered. The manual given by the Zombie Doctor wasn't as reliable as the item instructions given by the spirit world.
Putting away the small wooden box, Bai Xiaowen looked at Kitts. "Your ability to turn into a swarm of bats doesn't need to wait for a while, and can be used again immediately?"
"Yes." Kitts nodded.
"Then isn't that invincible?" Li Shuyi said in a daze. "Physical attackers will have a headache when faced with this ability."
"No, no, Miss, you misunderstand. There's a price to pay for using this ability." Kitts tilted his head and thought for a while before giving an example. "It's like being f * cked by a woman several times..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Shuyi glared at him.
Bai Xiaowen nodded. "It should consume mental energy, and possibly stamina as well." He checked Kitts' status and could see that his mental energy was almost depleted. It seemed that it was not easy for him to cross the chaotic battlefield and return here.
Actually, Bai Xiaowen could have done what he had done before, first recalling Kitts and then summoning him again. That way, Kitts wouldn't have to go through this dangerous region of the battlefield.
There were two limitations to doing this. First, the straight-line distance between Kitts and Bai Xiaowen couldn't exceed the range of Bai Xiaowen's psychic connection. Secondly, Kitts had to be in a non-combat state.
Another important reason was that Keats didn't have a storage space. The instant he was summoned back to the black soul stone, the small wooden box of Dr. Zombie would be left behind.
At this time, the coalition forces of the remnants had become chaotic under the attack of the Ultimate Plague Nemesis. Although the remnant clans that hadn't been transformed into undead wouldn't be affected by the ultimate bane of the plague, the number of clans that had been transformed into undead like the Bloodspear Clan was even greater.
At present, the number of soldiers who were forcibly turned into zombies was still a small number. However, the companions who had been fighting side by side a moment ago had become zombies who had lost their minds the next moment, attacking and biting them madly. This terrible change was obviously a great blow to the morale of the remnants.
On the city wall, there were gradually cheering sounds from the crowd. Although Bai Xiaowen's umbrella plan was somewhat unacceptable to ordinary people, it was a fact that there was a glimmer of hope in the originally hopeless situation of the battle!
Perhaps these people would return to condemning Bai Xiaowen after seeing the scene of zombies everywhere in Beijiang.
Count Denton, whose armor was stained with blood, walked to Bai Xiaowen's side and asked softly, "Those beasts have changed their formation … The enemy's commander has also come out. Are they still going to charge?"
Bai Xiaowen looked over and saw the commander of the coalition forces of the remnants, Absolom Herzlitt, who was riding a tall giant wolf, holding a giant axe and shouting orders to maintain order.
"No, they are going to retreat," Bai Xiaowen said.
Under the command of Absolom, the remnants of the army tore animal skins, linen and other things to cover their mouths and noses. Then they waved their butcher's knives and quickly and efficiently killed their infected and forcibly turned zombie comrades. Finally, they began to retreat in an orderly manner.
During the process, Absolom had been supervising the battle with a giant axe in his hand. His appearance was like a stabilizing needle, restoring order to the chaotic remnants of the army.
"They really retreated. Unfortunately, this is a good opportunity to pursue the enemy and expand the results of the battle, if there are no zombies blocking the way, "Count Denton said.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head gently but said nothing.
In fact, with Absolom personally bringing up the rear, the remnants of the remnants were defeated but not in disorder. Even if there were no zombies blocking the way, there was no chance.
Count Denton patted Bai Xiaowen on the shoulder and said, "Baron Dior, you saved everyone."
"In the eyes of many people, not only did I not contribute, but I may also be a sinner," Bai Xiaowen said.
"Eagles don't need to care about pigeons." Count Denton personally went out of the city to fight. Facing the endless sea of undead, he felt deeply desperate. Bai Xiaowen's umbrella plan succeeded in turning the situation around. In Count Denton's view, it was naturally a miraculous achievement.
"Let's not talk about this. I'm going to see His Highness, "Bai Xiaowen said.
Prince Nicholas had left the city wall at some point and did not join the cheering crowd.
Count Denton said, "His Highness doesn't seem to be in a good mood. After seeing the remnants of the remnants in chaos, he left. You can go to the Lord's Mansion to find him. "
Bai Xiaowen walked down the city wall and entered the Lord's Mansion of Black Rock City. After asking the servants, they finally found Nicholas in a tall watchtower in the north of the Lord's Mansion.
"You're here." Nicholas, who was looking into the distance, glanced back.
"Your Highness, the enemy is retreating, but you don't seem to be in a good mood," Bai Xiaowen said.
Nicholas showed a complicated smile, "Although the enemy is gone, the humans in the Northern Borderline are also finished... The remnants of the remnants have retreated in an orderly manner. I'm afraid this result is not a victory. When I return to the capital, I will be greatly criticized. Tell me, how can I be happy? "
"I can understand that His Highness will be under a lot of pressure like me," Bai Xiaowen said, "but we still have a way to remedy it."
"What way?" Nicholas asked.
"Chase the enemy and kill the commander of the allied forces, Great Chief Absolom Herzlitt!"
...
At night, the starry sky in the Northern Borderline was clear. In the biting cold wind, the muffled roars of zombies could be heard occasionally.
After all, zombies moved slowly and only acted on instinct. It was unrealistic to expect them to actively pursue the retreating allied forces. After the allied forces paid a certain price and withdrew from the battlefield, these zombies wandered outside Black Rock City in groups.
It was hard to tell how the people in the city felt about these zombies. They protected Black Rock City, but they also troubled the humans in Black Rock City. Any human who wanted to go out of Black Rock City would be attacked indiscriminately by nearby zombies.
In the quiet night, two black figures on horseback appeared from the side gate of Black Rock City and sneaked outside the city.
The nearby zombies noticed them, but they did not move at all.
"The WD-03 camouflage liquid made by Dr. Zombie is quite useful," Li Shuyi commented.
Bai Xiaowen nodded, "The experiment is successful. Let's go quickly and leave here while the camouflage liquid lasts. "
There were tens of thousands of zombies, but they were mainly wandering around Black Rock City. As long as they left the vicinity of Black Rock City within ten minutes of the camouflage liquid's effect, they would be safe.
Bai Xiaowen opened the mission panel and shared the newly unearthed branch mission with Li Shuyi.
[Hero Side Mission: Kill the enemy chief]
[Mission Difficulty: A]
[Mission Objective: Kill the commander of the allied forces, Great Chief Absolom Herzlitt.]
[Mission Time Limit: 24 hours]
[Mission Reward: Unknown]
Li Shuyi accepted the shared mission without hesitation. After reading the mission content, he said in surprise, "Kill the enemy chief? This mission is so difficult. It's actually an A-level hero mission. The reward must be very good. "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Normally, Absolom's strength is higher than Nicholas'. He should be at the Lord level. If we can kill him with our own strength, the final reward will be very good. But we don't have such strength, especially when the Wrath Claw is dead and can't be summoned. "
The two talked in a low voice while galloping north.
The allied forces of the allied forces were only temporarily retreating. They were not willing to end the war with a strong start but a weak finish.
After crossing the Black Iron Gorge, the zombies had been left behind and could not be seen. The allied forces of the allied forces set up camp to rest and reorganize.
An Orc came to the chief's animal skin tent and heard the painful wailing of a human woman, which made his expression change. However, the Orc ignored it and said directly, "Great Chief, the other leaders are waiting for you."
The painful wailing in the tent stopped abruptly.
The tent flap was lifted, and Absolom walked out, revealing his muscular chest and lush chest hair. There was a trace of hostility on his face, which made the Orc who came to report tremble.
"The slave girl in my tent is already dead. Hand her over to the logistics team … and kill all the human prisoners and make them into jerky! We are now in urgent need of food. "
"Yes, Great Chief!"
After Bai Xiaowen completed the [Surprise Attack] mission, the allied forces of the allied forces failed to capture the Blackrock Fortress. The consequences of the food shortage finally appeared.
However, the survivors had their own ways to solve the food problem.
Absolom strode to the big bonfire in the center of the camp, where a group of clan leaders was waiting for him. In addition to these clan leaders, there were also a few mysterious figures in black robes.
Absolom glanced at the black-robed men and showed a disgusted look.
"Absolom, we have to discuss the follow-up action. Should we attack or retreat? "One of the troll tribe leaders asked.
"Attack, of course!" Absolom snorted angrily. "Retreat? Where should we retreat to? We have used up all the food reserves for this war. If we retreat, how can we survive this damn winter without food? "
"But if we attack, we have to face those damn monsters. As long as our soldiers are bitten or scratched by those monsters, they will be transformed into the same monsters!"
Absolom sneered. "You are wrong. My Great Axe Tribe took on the task of bringing up the rear and fighting against those damn monsters. A dozen people were scratched, but no one was transformed! "
"Really?" the other leaders asked in surprise. "How did your Great Axe Tribe do it?"
"You have to ask them about this!" Absolom pointed at the black-robed men and said, "Haven't you noticed? My tribe did not accept the so-called 'gift of the ruler'! Our Great Axe Tribe did not betray the glory of the Beast God! And you, people who are willing to accept the gift, think that you have obtained great power, but in fact, you have been contaminated! "
A black-robed man lifted his hood, revealing an ugly face that was covered in wrinkles and resembled a skeleton. He said in a hoarse voice, "Other than the human infected, the Overlord has never controlled any of the tribal warriors of the remnant tribes. While being given power, the self-consciousness of the tribal warriors was not affected at all … I believe that everyone here is very clear about this. We have signed a contract and can trust each other. "
"Then how do you explain the Plague Undead turning into those monsters?"
"We are not clear about this … but the ruler must know what to do! We will return to the Sin Domain soon and ask for the ruler's instructions. "
Absolom laughed loudly. "Great, when you return, my people will have starved to death!"
The black-robed man remained calm. "Your Excellency, why don't you consider letting the Great Axe Tribe also accept the ruler's gift? Once they are completely transformed into undead, they will no longer need to eat."
"Nonsense!" Absolom raised his axe and was about to chop down, but the other leaders quickly stopped him.
Suddenly, there was a beast-like roar coming from all sides of the camp.
The faces of the dozen or so clan leaders all changed. They were very familiar with this roar, it was clearly the unconscious roar of the abominable monsters during the day!
"Didn't you guarantee that humans could not control those monsters? How could those monsters chase us here! "Absolom said angrily.
The black-robed men also panicked.
"No, this doesn't sound like the sound of a human turning into a monster … it sounds like our clansmen!" One of the Giant Demons said.
"Teng, teng, teng." The beastman who went to report to Absolom hurried over and said in a panic, "Great Chieftain, this is bad! All the soldiers outside the camp … have turned into those terrifying monsters that have lost their minds! "
The black-robed man suddenly realized. "That's right, the enemy must have sneaked in. They must have spread the drug that can forcefully transform the Plague Undead in the camp!"
"Roar!"
