Heroes of the Invincible Undead

The wasteland of Krolod was so desolate and barren. The silence of the flames plunged the entire continent into darkness, and at the same time, coldness enveloped the wasteland. The soil here is not as fertile as Erathia in the center of the continent, which cannot breed the bright light of civilization, nor is it like Diya, which is full of evil curses and has become a death place where the undead are entrenched. It is difficult to live in this barren land. The only creatures in the wilderness are weather-beaten savages.

At this moment, many barbarians gathered at the edge of the wilderness. They were either eagerly waiting, their eyes filled with hope, or they were confused and didn't understand what was going to happen next. Some of them were filled with fear, and they didn't know. If you dare to take another look at the wilderness homeland, it seems that there are demons there who want to choose people and devour them. Some of them are so high-spirited that they can join the battle just by picking up their weapons.

A wisp of hot flame rose up, igniting the emotions accumulated in the hearts of all barbarians. Ever since the cold came and the flames disappeared, the barbarians had not felt the warmth of fire for who knows how long. They had to live with the cold all day long. The arrival of the fire brought some warmth to the barbarians, but it also made their hearts feel warm. I have deep doubts, who can use the power of fire at this moment? Is it the devil who burns his soul in **** and screams that he will die if he doesn't become a hero?

However, that man did not look like a demon with a green face and fangs. He was wearing a pitch-black cloak that almost covered his entire body. His eyes were shining with divine light, like two beams of dark fire lit in the dark night. His gaze was deep, as if He can speak all the wisdom in the world, and his expression is calm and intimidating. Even if you just stand in front of him, you can feel the pressure that is vaster than the ocean, more violent than the volcano, and higher than the sky.

Many barbarians just watched from a distance and felt their breath tighten, as if a pair of invisible hands were strangling their throats. Even just a look from that man was not something the barbarians could bear. The few barbarians with extensive knowledge were so surprised that they couldn't even utter a word when they saw that man's face. That man's name, even on the entire continent, was extremely loud and terrifying. He knows how many creatures fell in his hands and were transformed into undead souls with endless souls, continuing to cause trouble to the world.

This person is none other than Rhodes.

Seeing Rhodes' figure passing through the flames and appearing in front of everyone, the long-awaited King of the Cavemen quickly stepped forward to greet him and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty Rhodes, I have summoned all the troops under my command. I also ask you to show the power of the Elemental Lord and grant these barbarian warriors the supreme blessing, so that they can roam the Crow Lord Wasteland like evil wolves and eliminate the betrayal. Ancestor, Korg who turned his back on all barbarians!”

"It's not enough to be like wolves. I want them to be like Beamon. I want to hear their roars echoing across the wasteland. I want to see them crush all the enemies standing in front of them."

Under the gaze of a group of barbarians, Rhodes slowly spoke. The magnificent power of the elements also made Rhodes' words sound like thunder. The meaning of the command to control all elements contained in them has enough power. Transform decay into magical power.

"Zubin, King of the Cavemen, when you summoned us, you did not say that the Lord of the Dead would also come with you."

Just as Rhodes was about to cast the buffing magic, a burst of dissatisfied questioning suddenly came to his ears. Following the sound, he saw an ogre who was three or four people tall and wearing thick silver armor. He walked quickly towards the King of the Cavemen. His expression was extremely gloomy, and the nail-headed iron rod he held tightly in his hand was waving vigorously as he walked. He seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with the current situation in front of him.

Seeing this, Zubin also took a deep breath, showing a bit of helplessness, and at the same time explained to Rhodes:

"Your Majesty Rhodes, the ogre is named Clolin. He leads an ogre tribe and has the status of a hero. He is dissatisfied with the ogres in the tribe being harmed by demons and even being treated as demons. Food, then he refused to obey Kilgor's order and turned to me. Crolin hated the undead in his life, and his strength is not inferior to mine. I have persuaded him before, hoping that he can go to Brakada to help you and I offered him a gift for Queen Moriel's wedding, but he rejected the proposal. I couldn't force him. If I pushed him into a hurry, I'm afraid he would lead his ogres away immediately, which would make me incomparable. Kilgor's strength has been reduced again, please give me some time to convince him."

Listening to Zubin's introduction, Rhodes just nodded lightly and glanced at the ogre. Under the influence of the prying eyes, all his attributes appeared in Rhodes' mind. .

The ogre hero Clolin has a level 7 and level 3 character. Among the ogres that are generally only level 4 or 5, there is no doubt that he stands out from the crowd. This is also related to his heroic status. Clolin, who has awakened the will of a hero, has already unleashed all the potential in his body, and can raise his level to exceed the general upper limit of the group. At the legendary level, he can show extraordinary destructive capabilities. On the battlefield, With the weapons at your disposal, you can even defeat the behemoth Beamon that roams the wasteland head-on.

However, no matter how powerful the legendary creature is, it can't make waves in front of Rhodes. Rhodes doesn't need to use other powers. He can easily transform it into a vampire by just activating the ability of the scarlet eye. The life of the ogre hero in front of him was only maintained by Rhodes' thoughts.

"My patience is limited." Rhodes spoke slowly, agreeing to the caveman king's request to persuade the ogre.

After getting Rhode's consent, Zubin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Since the Lord of the Undead gave him such an opportunity, of course he would cherish it, but he couldn't let the ogre Clolin destroy such an opportunity. , hurriedly offered words of advice:

"Klorin, what is in front of you is the Lord of the Undead who conquered Brakada, commanded millions of undead, and held the power of the elements. Even the leader of Kilgor pales in front of him. He is the leader of the Doomsday War. One of the strongest kings is here to help us retake the wasteland of Krolod. With his help, we can oust Kilgor from the throne of the great leader. He will guide the barbarians on a clear path and be the best. So be careful what you say and do.”

However, in the face of Zubin's persuasion, Clolin did not listen at all. He kept waving the nail-headed iron rod in his hand, as if to drive away all the words he did not want to hear:

"Have you forgotten what the hero Tanan once taught us? Magic is bad and bad, and undead magic is the worst of all magic. It does no good to us. You said that the Lord of the Undead is here to help Ours? What can he do? Transform us into undead? I think you betrayed all your subordinates and sold all our lives to the Lord of the Undead. I will not allow such a thing to happen! From now on , I and the other ogres no longer obey your orders, but you who betrayed us will forever be ashamed of your barbarian ancestors!"

Crolin's words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, causing a lot of restlessness in the barbarian team waiting behind. Some kind of terrible possibility also appeared in this group of people who didn't know what was about to happen. The feeling spread in the heart of the barbarians, shocking all the barbarians, as if a warning bell had sounded. Once they thought of that terrible scene, they could never regain their original calm.

Judging from the illustrious reputation of the Lord of the Undead on the continent, he will never let go of any living creature. Countless creatures have died in his hands. To him, the only value of these barbarians seems to be Only after death comes new life in the form of the undead. Is it true that as Clolin said, all the barbarians in the field were betrayed by the King of the Cavemen to the Lord of the Undead, and what awaits them is the fate of being transformed into the undead?

As waves of uneasy chatter spread, the nearby barbarians were frightened. If it weren't for the caveman king's former prestige and fear of the Lord of the Dead, under Clolin's call, I'm afraid that the barbarian troops will mutiny on the spot and refuse to obey any orders of the caveman king. They don't want to lose their lives in vain and eventually become undead.

"What are you talking about? Be quiet!"

When the general in charge of commanding the barbarian troops realized that something was wrong, he immediately issued a loud reprimand. At the same time, he waved the whip in his hand and whipped the barbarians who were talking nonsense and disrupting the morale of the army. He tried to stabilize the situation. He must not let this happen. The chaos continues.

The one who worked the hardest among them was of course the nephew of the King of the Cavemen. The young man who looked like a thin barbarian, when he heard the restless discussions, many of which were slanderous to his uncle Zubin, he immediately pulled himself from his waist. Suddenly he drew out his battle ax and chopped off the head of the loudest big-eared monster without saying a word. He then stretched out his hand to lift the head of the big-eared monster and roared fiercely at the many barbarians around him, showing the bravery of the barbarians. , to shock everyone.

Even Rhodes couldn't help but shake his head when he noticed the change in the atmosphere. Sometimes fame is too scary, which is not a good thing.

Since he cannot let the undead under his command directly occupy Krulod, doing so will only attract the attention of the demons in the wasteland today, and may even directly provoke the protagonist of the third expansion pack, the arrogant one holding the Doomsday Blade. Your Majesty, at present, Rhodes can only rely on the troops of the King of Cavemen to maintain the matter as an internal conflict among the barbarians fighting for the throne. For this reason, at this moment, it is necessary for Rhodes to speak for the King of Cavemen, and at the same time Establish his prestige. After all, the warriors under the King of the Cavemen are not loyal undead souls who only know how to obey orders, but barbarians with their own thoughts, and their every move is affected by morale.

"Zubin is right. I am not here to take away your lives, but to give you the blessing of the Elemental Lord, grant you supreme power, and make you the true master of this wasteland."

Rhodes spoke at the right time. As he remembered his low and convincing words, all the voices in the field suddenly calmed down. Even the barbarians who were full of words to say had to hold back their words at this moment. .

"Huh, blessing? That doesn't sound like a kind of undead magic. Why didn't I know when there was a kind of blessing in undead magic? I know that the undead under your command have powers far beyond theirs. Is the power in life the blessing you call? Lord of the Undead, do you have anything else to say? I and other barbarians will not believe your rhetoric!"

Facing Rhode's persuasion, Clolin just snorted, not believing everything Rhode said. In his opinion, there is no blessing in undead magic. The so-called blessing is just like... Like Rhodes, relying on the transformation of undead to give the dead more powerful power is not a blessing. If you want to receive that kind of blessing, the only way is death.

Seeing the ogre hero in front of him questioning himself again and again, Rhodes couldn't help but look at him one more time. Although he couldn't bear the power contained in Rhodes' eyes, even if Rhodes killed him, it would still be a shame. It would not help, but would upset the morale of the many barbarians who believed his words, severely reduce the prestige of the King of the Cavemen in their hearts, and have a negative impact on subsequent strategies.

At this moment, Rhodes could only use irrefutable facts to prove to all the barbarians in the field what kind of powerful power the blessing he could give contained, and what level it could elevate ordinary creatures to. At the same time, let the ogre hero Clolin learn how powerful he is.

Rhodes stretched out his hand and seemingly casually pointed at a barbarian holding the head of a big-eared monster in the field: "You, come here."

"I?"

After being asked by Rhodes to go there on his own, Tanu, the nephew of the King of the Cavemen, was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth wide, but what filled his heart was deep panic. Why did the Lord of the Dead call him over at this time? Could it be that he wanted to avenge himself for trying to steal the treasure house of the undead with the lizardman king? Tannu understood that he had committed an unforgivable mistake, but it had been so long ago, why did the Lord of the Undead target him at this moment?

For some reason, Tannu felt uncertain after being called by Rhodes. He always felt that nothing good would happen, but he had no other choice. Even if the Lord of the Undead killed him, no one would say anything. , and it is impossible for his uncle Zubin to fall out with the Lord of the Dead for him.

In any case, Tanu could not guess the purpose of the Lord of the Undead calling him at this time. Although he was very reluctant in his heart, after his uncle Zubin looked at him with a trusting look, Tannu, no matter how reluctant he was, could only come to Rhodes with a grimace in the end, hoping that Rhodes would not It would be better to turn him into an undead on the spot.
