However, Cager was still confident that he could take down Bai Xiaowen's forces. After all, Black Rock City was his home ground. There were more than a hundred Ironthorn soldiers on the battlefield, and there were still reinforcements coming in!
As for Bai Xiaowen's reinforcements, they were blocked by the high walls and could not break in at all.
"Destroy them! Dead or alive! "
Cager ordered the Ironthorn soldiers. At the same time, he controlled the rune dwarf puppets and two-headed monsters to chase after them.
Bai Xiaowen ordered his forces to retreat as they fought, leaving the area of the Withering Mist. However, this meant that they were getting further and further away from the city gate, which was exactly what Cager Stantine wanted. More and more reinforcements arrived from the city. They had already formed an encirclement around Bai Xiaowen's side.
"Dior S Kail Bloom! Today, Black Rock City will be your burial ground! "Cager Stantine laughed loudly. Hero of the War of the Survivors, cold-blooded demon of the Northern Lands, he still lost to him.
The corner of Bai Xiaowen's lips curled up, revealing a sarcastic smile.
* Crackle! *
A bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky. The Necromancer's lightning strike accurately hit Lich Fisher, who was wearing a black cloak! Almost at the same time, Butcher threw out his chain and wrapped it around Lich Fisher's thigh, dragging him over.
In an instant, Bai Xiaowen's party focused their attacks on Fisher. Although the latter had a long HP bar, as a High Chieftain, he was still hit hard by the wave of attacks, his HP dropping rapidly.
Cager immediately ordered reinforcements, but he was delayed by Butcher who had activated Rotten. He could only watch as Fisher was beaten up.
"Damn it … Servants! Protect your master! "
Fisher roared loudly.
Cager's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He shouted angrily, "Fisher, what are you doing?"
Fisher completely ignored Cager's question. His Lich's powerful mental strength spread out, and the houses in the surrounding residential area started to shake. The zombie-like residents of Black Rock City staggered out of their houses.
"Undead Plague!"
Seeing this, the expressions of the soldiers of Black Rock City changed. A year ago, the tragic scene of the Undead Plague attacking the city was still fresh in their minds. Of course, the living in the Northlands would not forget that nightmarish memory! The appearance of the Undead of Pestilence had undoubtedly torn open the most painful wound in their hearts, causing them to bleed profusely.
Bai Xiaowen laughed and said in the party channel, "I wanted to kill this Lich before revealing his identity, but he couldn't hold himself back and summoned the Undead of Pestilence. That's much simpler … "
Bai Xiaowen raised his voice and shouted, "The Ironthorn Family has colluded with the Sin Realm and betrayed the human race. They conspired to turn all the humans in Black Rock City into Plague Undead! I am Whitestone Overlord Dior Si Kail Bloom. I am under the orders of Prince Nicholas to capture the Ironthorn Family and purge Black Rock City! Those who don't know can put down their weapons, and I promise not to pursue the matter. Soldiers of Black Rock City, think about it carefully. Do you want to remain loyal to the Ironthorn Family and watch them turn your family members into undead? "
The soldiers of the Ironthorn Army were hesitant. Although most of them were loyal to the Ironthorn Family, what they saw with their own eyes was too convincing.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Cager shouted, "Don't believe his nonsense! Have you forgotten his title? The cold-blooded demon of the Northlands. In order to plot against Black Rock City, he will fabricate any lies! Once you put down your weapons, you and your family members will become lambs to the slaughter. Do you expect a cold-blooded demon to be merciful? "
While they were talking, the battle continued. However, the pressure on Bai Xiaowen's side was greatly reduced. Only Cager's Two-headed Troll and the Rune Dwarf puppet were still fighting. However, the situation had changed and they were being beaten up.
"Kaboom!"
Bai Xiaowen's critical strike took away the last bit of the two-headed monster's HP, causing it to fall to the ground with its back facing the sky.
Bai Xiaowen stepped on the corpse of the Two-headed Troll and stood on top of it. He said in a deep voice, "That's right, I am the cold-blooded demon of the Northlands. I have killed countless Undead of Pestilence and infected people! The corpses of the survivors of the Sinful Realm that I have killed can cover Black Rock City! However, I have done all this to protect the rights of the humans of the Northlands. I want to protect your families and prevent them from turning into these abominable monsters! "
The roars of the Undead of Pestilence were the background noise and it was especially appropriate.
"Now, the Pestilence has infiltrated Black Rock City again. Who knows how many people have been infected by the Pestilence of the Undead, including your parents, wives, and children! Only I, the Lord of White Rock City, have the ability to save everyone! "
Bai Xiaowen said in a deep voice, "A year ago, I saved Black Rock City. Now, I will save this city that has been plagued by disasters once again. All human soldiers, if you still think that you are human, if you still want to reunite with your parents, wives, and children, if you don't want this city to be filled with monsters like these … Stop resisting! Or point your weapons at the main culprit, the sinner who colluded with the survivors of the Sinful Realm — Cager Stantine! "
Bai Xiaowen's speech had a strong appeal, which was also the effect of his high charm.
The soldiers of the Ironthorn Family hesitated. Some of them put down their weapons, while others turned around and looked at their former patriarch with complicated eyes.
Kager Stantine was extremely frustrated. He could not help but complain about his useless teammate, Lich Fisher! Initially, he had planned to wait until all the humans in Black Rock City were infected with the Undead Plague Virus. Then, he would unleash the virus all at once, turning the entire Black Rock City into a kingdom of the Plague Undead. However, everything was now f * cking over.
"What are you waiting for? Listen to your lord's orders and kill Dior Si Kail Bloom!" Cager yelled.
However, what answered him was the sound of more and more weapons falling to the ground. There were many deserters among the soldiers of Black Rock City.
Many of the deserters had a simple thought. They wanted to go home as soon as possible.
Lich Fisher said darkly, "It's too late. All living beings must die!" He activated Undead Frenzy.
Instantly, the eyes of all the Pestilence Undead flickered with a bloodthirsty red glow, and their movement speed increased greatly! They rushed towards the nearest living being.
The situation became extremely chaotic. It had turned into a situation where Bai Xiaowen and the soldiers of Black Rock City were fighting against the Pestilence Undead together.
"I made a mistake. I didn't bring the ultimate Pestilence Bane … But even if I did, I wouldn't want to use it. Judging from the density of the Pestilence Undead, Black Rock City can still be saved. As long as there is a chance, I don't want to only have a dead city. "
Bai Xiaowen calculated in his mind. He immediately controlled the Wrath Claw to activate Howl. At the same time, the Commander's Cloak on his back vibrated and activated Commanding Roar!
In an instant, the attack power and attack speed of all his allies were increased. Commanding Roar also increased the damage and reduced the damage received.
Lich Fisher had finally reached the cooldown of his second Corrosive Spell. He raised his hand and cast the spell on Bai Xiaowen! Bai Xiaowen snorted and chose to take the attack head-on. His HP decreased bit by bit, but the rate of decrease was very stable. With the Wrath Claw's Life Sharing, Bai Xiaowen was essentially a tank with 600 to 700 HP.
The summoned creatures surrounded him. Fisher's Teleportation Spell had also finished its cooldown. He waved his Bone Claw and was about to teleport.
However, a bolt of lightning struck, interrupting Fisher's spell-casting.
The Wrath Claw howled and pounced on him. It pressed him to the ground and used its ultimate skill to suppress him. Then, a rain of attacks fell on him.
The remaining half of Lich Fisher's HP fell to zero before it could last through the duration of the suppression. The last trace he left in this world was a golden treasure chest.
With Fisher's death, the Pestilence Undead lost their unified command and became chaotic.
Bai Xiaowen took the opportunity to order the soldiers of the Iron-Thorn Army who were fighting against the Pestilence Undead. They had lost their backbone to form up and encircle the Pestilence Undead. These soldiers were in a state of confusion. They accepted Bai Xiaowen's order without much hesitation.
Kager Constantine was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Bang, bang!
Outside the city, under the perseverance of the shield-wielding infantrymen of the Whitestone Army, the tall city gate was suddenly opened. The valiant female knight Cecilia in white armor led the army into Black Rock City!
On the horse, Cecilia nocked an arrow and aimed at Kager Constantine. A ray of light slowly flowed on the arrow.
Kager Constantine felt the threat of death, like an animal that was targeted by its natural enemy. He glanced at Cecilia and hurriedly ordered a Rune Dwarf Puppet to block in front of him.
Whoosh! Buzz!
The ray of light shot out at a speed faster than the speed of sound. After the arrow hit its target, the shrill sound of the arrow breaking through the air and the dull sound of the bowstring vibrating could be heard. After shooting the arrow, Cecilia was slightly out of breath and paused for a second.
The arrow directly pierced through the Rune Dwarf Puppet like a heavy javelin. The Rune Dwarf Puppet was sent flying and crashed into a house, causing smoke and dust to rise.
The Rune Dwarf Puppet did not appear again. Without a doubt, it was killed in an instant.
Kager Constantine was both shocked and furious. His main summoned creature, the two-headed monster, had already been killed by Bai Xiaowen. His Rune Dwarf Puppets had also fallen one by one. He did not have the slightest intention of staying when he encountered a strong enemy like Cecilia. He turned and fled without hesitation. Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Two skeletal sword-wielding soldiers blocked in front of Kager Constantine. Duang Duang attacked with their shields twice.
Kager Constantine staggered back. At this moment, Cecilia's follow-up attack arrived.
Cecilia did not use the terrifying first arrow that required a charge up. Instead, she used the Rapid Arrow skill. The arrows were almost connected head to tail, and three arrows were shot consecutively! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! The three arrows accurately hit their targets. Kager Constantine was in great pain, and his health points decreased drastically.
After the three consecutive arrows, Cecilia took a deep breath and used the charged up arrow again! The ray of light shot out and nailed Kager Constantine to the wall of a stone house, causing cracks to appear all over his body.
Cecilia rode her horse and arrived in front of Kager Constantine.
"You detained my merchant group, tricked me into coming here for a negotiation, ambushed me halfway, and sent troops to attack my city …"
"You despicable person! You started the war! Now, it's time for you to swallow the bitter fruit of war. "
Kager Constantine was shot onto the wall. Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, but he revealed a mocking expression. "Even if I didn't start the war, Black Rock City would have been annexed by you sooner or later … Cough cough … The victor represents justice. Do it!"
Cecilia snorted and pulled out her silver bow. With a flick of her wrist, the bowstring broke Kager Constantine's throat.
With the death of the Ironthorn family's leader, the situation was quickly brought under control.
Lich Fisher's mental strength had a limited range, and he could only awaken a few hundred infected humans. The battle lasted for 15 minutes, and the Undead of Pestilence were all eliminated.
Bai Xiaowen then ordered the city gates to be sealed. He carried the head of the Ironthorn family's leader, Lich Fisher, and the corpses of the Undead of Pestilence to the Lord's Mansion.
Along the way, he encountered soldiers from the Ironthorn family. Bai Xiaowen directly took out these few pieces of evidence, and with a series of verbal attacks, he disintegrated their resistance without shedding a drop of blood. He easily arrived at the Lord's Mansion.
In the Lord's Mansion, Bai Xiaowen finally met with a decent resistance. The nobles of the Ironthorn family mobilized the last of their family's private soldiers to build fortifications and guard the entrance of the Lord's Mansion.
However, under the powerful individual strength of Bai Xiaowen's side, the battle quickly ended. When the nobles of the Ironthorn family saw that the situation was hopeless, most of them chose to surrender. Only a few stubborn ones stubbornly resisted until the end, and were eliminated one by one.
At dawn, Bai Xiaowen's side had basically gained control of Black Rock City.
The citizens of Black Rock City were uneasy as they welcomed a new day. Many people felt that it was unbelievable. The family name that ruled Black Rock City had changed the moment they woke up. It was like a dream. Of course, the noises and sounds of battle did not stop that night. Almost none of the citizens of Black Rock City slept well.
Bai Xiaowen ordered the citizens to gather in the plaza in front of the Lord's Mansion, and forced every household to have someone present.
What happened next was simple. Bai Xiaowen exposed the conspiracy of the Sin Realm survivors in front of everyone. All the nobles of the Ironthorn family were accused of colluding with the Sin Realm survivors and plotting to murder the citizens of Black Rock City. They were sentenced to death by hanging.
Although some of the nobles of the Ironthorn family did not know, Bai Xiaowen did not care. In order to prevent the Ironthorn family from rising from the ashes, it was better to hang them all.
Although the citizens of Black Rock City were hesitant, the evidence was in front of them. In addition, Bai Xiaowen's reputation of fighting against the Sin Realm coalition and eliminating the Undead Pestilence a year ago was too great. Most of them chose to believe him. This was one of the benefits of being famous in the Spiritual Realm.
