Chapter 12: The Violet Enchantment
"Ah, there are guests again, it seems that tonight is destined to be a sleepless night......" Zhang Cheng curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and said to himself in a very playful tone.
Although he had no idea who the group of horseback men were or what force they belonged to, one thing was certain: they certainly wouldn't be the Forsaken.
Because they were resurrected by the shadow energy, their physiological structure is completely different from that of normal people, and they can see everything around them clearly even without the slightest light, so they can't ride a living horse without the lighting method of torches at all.
In fact, before these undead could get close to the horses, the perceptive horses would immediately flee in fright, and they could only ride the death horses, which were also resurrected by the shadow energy, and the death horses could not make any noises.
Since he is a living person, he naturally does not have any good feelings for the undead.
To be sure, the intelligent life of the entire continent of Azeroth is currently skeptical of these forsaken beings who claim to have free will, and a small number firmly believe that they should not have existed in the first place.
In particular, the Scarlet Crusaders, who have always made it their duty to fight the undead, are gathering armies to carry out indiscriminate attacks on the Scourge and the Forsaken in the area from the Plaguelands to the ruins of Lordaeron.
Zhang Cheng dared to guarantee that the person who should be most nervous at the moment was definitely not himself, but the expressionless leader of the Forsaken not far away.
They are all elite, but in fact, due to their sparse population, they are simply unable to confront the powerful alliance in the eastern continent, and they barely rely on terrorist attacks and magical plagues to maintain the balance of power.
Once a mistake leads to heavy losses, it will not be able to recover for a long time, and it will even be eradicated by the Alliance, not to mention the final revenge on the Lich King.
Arguably, of all the forces in Azeroth, the Forsaken have the worst potential for war.
At least one of them died before Sylvanas, the Queen of Darkness, decided to start digging up the graveyard and forcibly waking up the dead who were sleeping inside.
In addition, the bodies of all the living dead will slowly decay under the erosion of time, so the number is always decreasing, rather than nurturing and multiplying like normal life.
"Is this what you have to rely on without fear?A small group of reinforcements?" said the undead at the head of the group, whose eyes flashed with a terrifying red light, opened its mouth crawling with maggots.
"Reinforcements? No, no, no, of course not. My fearless reliance was never reinforcements, but the knowledge and magical powers of my mind. As for the cavalry, I am not at all sure whether they belong to the enemy or to the allies. Of course, for you dead people, they will definitely not be friends......" As he spoke, Zhang Cheng took out a spell rune that shimmered with silver brilliance from his pocket.
Before the other party could react, he violently activated the energy stored on the rune.
Moment!
A violet light spread in all directions centered on the wooden house......
Just when everyone didn't understand the use of this wonderful light, an undead suddenly let out a scream, dropped the hostage in his hand, covered his face and quickly retreated.
Followed by the second, third, fourth......
In just a few seconds, all of the Forsaken ran out of the violet-shrouded area, not even taking the chest containing the Arcane Crystal with them.
Their pale and blue skin showed a large number of disgusting poisonous sores and blisters, and some even exploded, oozing a strange viscous liquid, and all the plants that were dripping immediately withered and died.
In contrast, the surviving living people did not react in the slightest discomfort, and they stared at this incredible scene with wide eyes, as if trying to figure out what was happening.
However, the leader of the Forsaken undoubtedly knew what this light meant, and sneered bloodthirstily, "Dalaran's Violet Enchantment? From now on, be careful of the dagger that comes from behind you, I swear I will cut your throat with my own hands, and enjoy the screams and wails you let out before you die. ”
"Hehe, save these frivolous verbal threats. If I were you, I'd be thinking about how to deal with the next trouble. After all, dogs that bite people usually don't bark, and dogs that like to bark are usually like things. Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently and looked like he was ready to watch a good show.
As the other party mentioned, the silver spell rune in his hand was the violet enchantment that Dalaran used to protect himself.
When Arthas led the Scourge to attack Dalaran, he suffered a big loss from this thing, and finally managed to complete the mission assigned by the Lich King with a quick raid.
Unfortunately, the Violet Barrier failed to protect Dalaran in the end, and Akmund destroyed the Magic City with unrivaled power, and countless runestones used to support the barrier were scattered everywhere.
When Risen escaped, he picked up some of them and used his seclusion to repair and transform them many times, so that they were only for the undead and demons.
Any undead or demon entering an area shrouded in violet light will immediately be scorched by powerful magical energy, and if you don't leave quickly, it will soon turn into a puddle of rotting gelatin.
The only pity is that there are not many of these magic runes, and they will be completely scrapped after one use, and they cannot be recycled.
Perhaps many people in the Azeroth continent are afraid of the elusive attacks of the Forsaken, as well as the terrifying magic plague that they are constantly developing and improving, but as a passer-by, Zhang Cheng doesn't care about this, and he also needs to consider what the consequences are.
Anyway, it won't be long before he leaves this world, so as long as he doesn't disrupt the original course of Azeroth's history and doesn't attract the attention of the Bronze Dragons, he can do something he didn't think about before but couldn't
"You will pay for your actions! A price you can't afford to pay!"
"I'll wait, but only if you solve the current crisis. ”
"We have the strongest faith, the best fighting awareness and skill, and absolute loyalty to the Queen, so nothing can defeat us!"
"Then I'll see. ”
......
With a few words exchanged between the two, the riders on the outskirts of the woods quickly formed a circular encirclement network to surround the wooden house.
They were all dressed in black leather armor and face scarves, and the number of them was between thirty and forty, most of them were armed with cold weapons such as swords, shields, bows and crossbows, and two were holding gemstone staffs that emitted black and purple light.
Since becoming a mage, Zhang Cheng's perception of the attribute of magical energy has increased exponentially, even if he is dozens of meters away, he can clearly feel the boiling shadow energy in the other party's body.
Generally speaking, the people who possess this kind of energy are basically not warlocks, shadow priests, or shadow mages, and none of them are easy to deal with.
