Red Dragon Emperor

Chapter 267: Withered Soil

"I am Long Mercy, little priest, what is this?"

The pastor raised his head and looked at the red dragon in front of him, which was bigger than his house. His Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. At this time, he heard the red dragon's question and stammered in reply: "Yes...it's Wu Gu." Potion.”

"Scale-free potion, emmmm..."

Jose then asked: "So how to use this scale-free potion and how to make it?"

When mentioning the production method, the priest suddenly woke up and said, "I don't know how it was made. Our task is only to use the unsullied medicine to treat the wounded."

After a pause, he continued: "Within one hour after being injured by the undead, apply the cleansing agent on the wound to avoid being infected with the Curse of Sleeping Abyss. This is what we do."

"All right."

Jose nodded and walked away. A low-level priest really couldn't ask anything. If he wanted a real person, he would have to discuss it with the top officials of the Pompeii Empire, such as Dalebo, the commander of the Dawn Legion.

The priest stared blankly at the red dragon going away. After watching it for a while, he felt something was wrong: "Huh?! My potion..."

Red Dragon observed the casualty area for a while, turned around and saw that Dalebo's remote meeting had ended, and walked towards him with his legs raised.

He walked up to Dalebo and raised the potion jar in his hand. This potion jar, which could not be lifted by ordinary people, was like a peanut in the red dragon's hand.

"Your Excellency Dalebo, let me put it bluntly, how big is the Pompeii Empire?"

After taking a look at the potion jar, Dalebo understood what was going on. After all, the Innocent Potion was too important to fight against the undead infected by the Curse of the Sleeping Abyss.

He shook his head: "Sir Jose, you have come to the wrong person. If you want the Innocent Potion, you have to go to the Justice Church. This thing was created by the Justice Church."

"That's it, um... is it convenient to reveal some information? At what price did the Pompeii Empire exchange for the Incorruptible Potion from the Church of Justice?"

"It's okay to tell you. You will know it later anyway. A jar costs ten gold coins. As far as I know, this is already the cost price."

Dalebo continued: "When it comes to fighting the undead, the Church of Justice will not cheat anyone."

"As expected of the Church of Justice," Jose nodded, with a strange flash in his eyes. From Dalebo's words, he keenly sensed a piece of news.

When it comes to combating the undead, the Justice Church will not trick anyone. In other words, if it were not to combat the undead, the Justice Church would trick people.

Something unpleasant happened between the Pompeii Empire and the Church of Justice. Listening to Dalebo's tone, the Pompeii Empire suffered a small loss.

Now is not the time to gossip about the past events between the Pompeii Empire and the Church of Justice. He looked at the jar of Innocent Potion in his hand. Judging from the results of his observation, this jar of potion can treat about a hundred minor injuries, which means The cost of applying the scale-free medicine once is about ten silver coins.

The price is not too expensive, but it is not cheap either.

Jose felt a bit toothache. If it were in the past, he would have to buy a hundred and eighty thousand to hoard in the warehouse, but now the Kingdom of Fossey is empty of treasury.

At this thought, he couldn't help but sigh: "Life is not easy..."

"What?"

"nothing,

How were the internal discussions in the Pompeii Empire just now? "

Dalebo shrugged: "His Majesty the Emperor is discussing with others and has also notified the major forces. I think it won't be long before another rally will be held."

"Forget about this, Your Excellency Jose, let's go and take a look," Dalebo pointed to the direction of the retreat of the undead in the distance.

At the edge of the cold rock wall, there is a cave that is as dark as a venomous snake's esophagus.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Yilong and the others immediately walked towards the cave. As they walked, they clearly noticed the changes in the ground beneath their feet.

The soil in the Deep Underdark is very different from the soil on the surface. The soil in the Underdark is relatively moist, with a lingering smell of plant decay.

No matter what, the soil in the deep dark regions can also grow plants, but the soil that the undead has stepped on is different. The smell of corruption in the soil is getting stronger and stronger. It is not the corruption of plants, but the corruption after being immersed in corpse water, and the soil is dry and cracked.

"The land here has been contaminated by necromantic energy and has lost its life," Jose said solemnly.

The nickname of the enemy of undead life is worthy of its name. Not only do they hate the living, but even the land they walk on will be contaminated by undead energy and cannot continue to grow plants.

Of course, individual undead will not cause land pollution. It must be large-scale or powerful enough for the undead to pass through, so that the overflowing undead energy can penetrate into the soil, causing the plants to wither and the earth to lose its vitality. Such land is called withered. soil.

Without outside intervention, it would take nature two to three hundred years to heal the withered soil and restore the ecology. Before the ecology is restored, the withered soil is harmful to living things.

Red Dragon and Dalebo are both powerful legendary warriors. The remaining death energy on the withered soil naturally poses no threat to them. One dragon and the other go directly into the cave and head towards the depths of the cave.

The entrance to this cave was very large and became narrower as we walked inside. In the end, the red dragon had to transform into a draconian form and explore the twists and turns of the tunnel side by side with Dalebo.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Yilong and the others saw a faint light in the distance, and their spirits were shaken. They were almost approaching the end of the tunnel.

Not long after, Red Dragon and Dalebo walked out of the tunnel and came to another dark area.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Yilong couldn't help but frown. In the empty dark area, withered soil replaced the originally healthy land. Withered and black trunks of big trees fell to the ground in various directions, and some were still rooted in the ground. Underground, like a dead and unyielding warrior.

"This Dark Region is ruined. Neither animals nor plants can survive." Jose couldn't help but feel a little sad. It could have been like other Dark Regions where residents could be moved here to build villages and farmland. However, the undead destroyed it. all of these.

With this thought, he became more and more determined to fight against the undead, and the land of Fusai Kingdom was also losing life as before.

After scanning around, Yilong found no trace of the undead. It seems that all the undead in the dark area here were absorbed into the undead army and died in the battle with the Red Dragon and Dawn Legion.

Beside the red dragon, Dalebo's eyes were uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a long while, he said quietly: "Sir Jose, have you ever been to the plane of the dead?"

"No, why, have you been there?"

Dalebo nodded: "Been there. At that time, I led the Legion of Dawn to fight against demons on the bloody battlefield. Once, a legendary lich attacked us. We found his lair and entered the plane of the undead. revenge."

"In that plane of the undead... the sky is gray, the earth is bare, and skeletons are wandering in the wind and sand... You have never seen such a scene, and you will never imagine it, but I have a deep understanding of that kind of depression and despair."

"It is precisely because of that experience that I took the initiative to serve as commander and came here. I will never let Tedanor become a world that has lost hope."

"Yes, this is exactly the reason why we gathered together," Jose couldn't help but feel some recognition of Dalebo.

The two sides have different races, different positions, and are even wary of each other in their hearts, but at least one thing is that the two sides are highly consistent when facing the undead.

The red dragon glanced at the dark area that was empty and resembled a miniature undead plane, and said calmly: "Let's go back, the undead elves may not have gone far, and it is not worth our risk to continue exploring."

"Um."

You need to walk when you come, but it is much easier to go back. The red dragon chants the spell quickly, and the gorgeous purple magic energy pours out from the void, condensing into a complex and gorgeous teleportation circle.

After entering the legend, Jose became more and more comfortable in teleporting. He could teleport back to an area he had just passed by with complete confidence even if there was no space beacon.

In the brilliant purple magic energy, a dragon and a man appeared in the base camp.

At this time, the soldiers of the Dawn Legion had already set up camp at the edge of the Spider Web Forest, making fires and cooking. To fight the undead, they must be prepared for a protracted war. Everyone has regarded this place as a forward camp to explore the areas occupied by the undead. .

Seeing Dalebo return, someone immediately came to report.

"Reporting to the commander of the legion, five of our troops died in this battle and 21 were injured. A rough estimate is that 80,000 undead have been wiped out, of which no less than 300 are high-level undead and above."

No matter how you look at it, this is an absolute victory. Even Dalebo can't demand anything. He nodded: "Very good, let's start exploring and figure out the spread of the undead."

"Lord Legion Commander, the legion came in a hurry and did not bring enough purification potions."

Withered soil is harmful to living creatures and will cause various problems if left for a long time. Purification agents can eliminate most of the adverse reactions of withered soil. Therefore, without purification agents, exploration work cannot be carried out.

Dalebo frowned: "How many purification agents does the Legion currently carry?"

"Four hundred and seventy purification potions. If you insist, there are also seven hundred high-grade holy water that can achieve the same effect."

"No need. The high-level holy water blessed by the bishop is too precious. It is a waste to use it for exploration. Select elites to form an exploration team and distribute purification potions..."

After Dalebo issued the order, Jose said goodbye. He had originally followed the Dawn Army to see the situation.

According to the results of the last meeting, the Kingdom of Fusai is mainly responsible for logistics and will only go into battle at special moments. For example, when the undead natural disaster completely breaks out, the elites of the major forces are not enough, and a large number of soldiers are needed to fight on the front line.

The red dragon teleported back to the dark area where Steelbeard Castle was located, and came to the portal area. The activated portal was still running, and various war materials continued to come to this dark area.

"Your Majesty," the kingdom's prime minister, You Gou, bowed to the returning red dragon.

Jose nodded and asked, "Is there any accident?"

"Nothing unexpected happened, everyone was very cooperative, but..."

After a pause, Yi Gou said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, these southerners look down on us, their words and deeds are a little unreasonable, and the soldiers are a little dissatisfied. If this continues, something may happen."

Jose raised his eyebrows. The south is the most prosperous area of ​​Teda Nor and the political, economic, and cultural center of the continent. This has caused some people in the south to be arrogant, not to mention "barbaric" people such as jackals, kobolds, and ogres. "Monster", even northerners who are also human beings will suffer regional discrimination from southerners.

It is normal to be discriminated against, but this does not mean that "savage monsters" have no temper.

Jose said quietly: "Just keep an eye on it. Treat those with a better attitude as normal. If you have a bad attitude or are rude, just write it down and give them the worst ingredients. Don't make it too obvious... and don't do it too obviously." Starve them, after all, they are protecting the Kingdom of Fossey in disguise by dealing with the undead, although this is not their original intention."

"In addition, if those guys go too far, there is no need to be polite and greet them with fists. I just ask everyone to pay attention to their sense of proportion. It will be difficult to kill people. Try to fight alone..."

You Gou nodded repeatedly after hearing this. As expected of His Majesty, he thought comprehensively and thoughtfully.

It is worth mentioning that what Red Dragon said about greeting with fists is also confident. The monster soldiers who can participate in guarding the portal are all elites, and their combat effectiveness is generally above the mid-level, and high-level is not uncommon.

In terms of the quality of individual soldiers, even elites like the Dawn Legion may not be a match for monster soldiers without sophisticated equipment.

This is true for the Dawn Legion, let alone others.

………………………………

Time passed little by little, and it was three days later.

During these three days, the leaders of all parties intentionally restrained their subordinates and prevented the temporary alliance formed for a common purpose from disintegrating. Therefore, although the various forces did not get along harmoniously, there was no trouble.

There was no trouble between the various forces, but there was trouble in dealing with the undead. It was not that the undead resisted fiercely, but that the undead clan did not resist, as if they had disappeared from the world.

Except for the initial battle with the Dawn Legion, the largest number of undead encountered during the exploration process was only two hundred, and there were only two hundred undead once, and most of them were scattered undead.

Regarding this abnormal phenomenon, the frontline commanders of the major forces held many discussions, almost every day, and shared information at the venue.

Today it’s time for routine communication again.

In the void, several magic projections gathered together to form a circle, including the red dragon.

"Everyone, the cunning enemy is hiding. In the past three days, our search can be said to have found nothing."

"We can't go on like this. We must find a way to find the hidden undead!"

"To put it lightly, the Underdark extends in all directions. Where to find it? How to find it? Who to send to find it?"

"..."

Everyone was quarreling fiercely, while Jose watched from the sidelines. The Fusai Kingdom was mainly responsible for logistics. Before the undead disaster broke out, he just sent supplies and fished.

Next to the red dragon, Dalebo, the deputy commander of the Dawn Legion, was also watching. Unlike the red dragon, Dalebo did not bother to argue. The purpose of attending the party was only to obtain the information explored by all parties.

Just when the red dragon thought that the meeting was nothing like before, Dalebo clapped his hands: "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."
