I return to the base of the green hooded bandits. Since I have no idea if they n of Shadow have been rallied or where is located the last gang. But what I know, is the fact that whatever is inside that base, it's going to be good. At least, a huge number of clothes, since I don't really need weapons at the mont. As for all the potential traps and vials that will be thrown at , well, it doesn't matter anymore. Since I have my wonderful shield.
Instead of my multiple doppelgangers, I only maintain two of them. That way, it is still three targets to choose and at the sa ti, not too much, that will not make the guards overreact. Because if I arrive with my army of ten potential shadows, even if they are just baits and non-existent, for the humans they are all real. And if ten people with a strength similar to mine were to enter the capital, it will provoke a huge uproar that will force the Church to make a move.
The proof was provided by the previous number one. He told before dying that the Church was involved with the killing of all my undead servants. That ans, they know that they are all skeletons under their armors and my arrival, and potential slaughter will trigger an answer. What they probably don't know, is the fact that I have seen their armies far away. Well, no actually, they will suppose that I know that information. Otherwise, why would I return only after the departure of the strongest knights?
TULUTULUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
TULUTULUUUUUUUUU TULU TULUTULU
Once again, the horn of the guards is resonating across the entire slums. And this ti, it is not only once, but every horn that is used. It a full retreat organized just by my arrival. Well, since the mask has fallen, why should I keep mine? I order all my skeleton magicians to co near our position since we will need all our forces.
Even if I didn't really underestimate them, they are still surprising . Not a single soul can be seen in the streets and houses. This ti, the rats have fled instantly, without even waiting for the ship to sink. And I was hoping for one or two that were too slow to escape. Now that I think about it, they have probably been killed by my skeleton warriors before. Now, only those that can run quickly are alive. Fat chance for my [Blood Touch], and I still can't create new undead without it.
After so ti where we walked inside the deserted streets, we finally reach the sa building that was empty last ti. There is nobody else around us, and this ti, we have not co for their lives. Well, yes we were here for that, but since everyone is gone, we are here specifically for sothing else. Even without the need to hide my skeletons for what they are, the defense provided by those leather armors are still useful. At least, they can stop so damages on my magicians, not a lot yes, but still so. And that is all I want, and just for the style too. I an, it is a real army that I have, why should my magicians run around naked? That wouldn't be as scary as a silent armored army standing in front of you.
I ask number two to destroy the door and he executes my order. Just one swing of his axe, and not just the door, but the nearby walls are all destroyed. I should have asked him to just destroy the door only, and not everything else. But it is too late. Even after entering, there is no trap or surprise for us, I guess that all the chanisms to deploy them were destroyed by the axe. Shortly after, all my undead servants are looking for clothes. They were found quickly, since it is not a dangerous thing, and finally I have a proper army.
Leaving the ruins of the gang base, I approach the closest gate, to be more precise, the South Gate. I have already deal with them, and they were particularly slow to react and not really pressed to join the fight. I an, I block the way to the city, and they had done nothing to stop . Not even one crossbow was fired if I rember correctly. Yes, I have cast [Nightfall], but they could have co closer, and walk through. But they haven't, and that was perfect for .
Unfortunately, this ti, it is them that I will target, not just so citizens of the slums. I wonder if I will see that officer that was trying to discreetly use his power to loot the base of Shadow. Because all of his n were the best type of people I want to face. Coward, weak-minded, fearful of . And against my [Cause Fear] which is level 5 8? Level 8? When did it get upgraded that much? Maybe it was that that provoked the scream from Daryl. Because even if he was dying, to scream after seeing was weird.
But the thing is, how did that happen? I check my attributes, nothing, my skills, nothing, my abilities, nothing more, and my title just oh, here you go, my little friend. [Nesis of Krieg], hehe, I forget to check my titles previously. That's kind of dumb, but since I had a lot of things to deal and they are in a separate window. But that's probably what improved my passive ability, I an, I am now considered as a deadly foe by Krieg. And he is the god of blood, death and strange mutations.
Well, it doesn't matter where I get that, the good thing is my newly increased capacity to terrify my enemy. Because before, I was already capable of scaring the bandits and nearly all the guards, now, they will personally wet themselves during the battle. I an, if they are not dead yet before they reach . Because a rain of fire will be unleashed inside this very city, and not even the help of a stupid goddess will prevent that.
And here we are, facing a huge wooden door with an iron grid. There is no drawbridge to prevent us from entering, just two things that are highly weak to my acid. On the ramparts, I can see the guards preparing their crossbows and beginning to aim at us. They are shaking, fearing for their lives, their useless and short lives. Not a single of them is in front of those doors. They have at least acknowledged the fact that I am a lot stronger than they are. Otherwise, so n would have been facing directly.
(Even before you ask because I was following your train of thought. No, nobody is coming to help them. The Church is still not acting, and the other garrisons are not sending any reinforcents to the gate. Even after I saw three or four guards running away in direction of the closest gates. I guess, they are fearing more attacks than just you, so they will not help their fellow guards for the mont. As for the composition of the defenders, they all have crossbows and behind the door, there are already piken and a wall is ford. Expect heavy resistance, it will not be easy. There are at least hundreds of soldiers right in front of you, and thousand in less than 500 ters around us.)
For the first assault, I will not be suicidal and rush things. I still have ti, until the Church reacts. I just have to capture this gate before they begin to charge at . As for that, I will, first of all, grant them a small gift. I throw five orbs filled with my plague at five locations on the ramparts. My spell has a higher range than their crossbows, so I can do it without risking anything. And now, I will wait for a few minutes, I don't believe that sothing that was capable of killing the followers of Krieg can't handle so small guards.
(They shouldn't survive, but you are talking about the capital of the kingdom of Aria, the holy kingdom to be precise. Don't expect your spells to work the sa way they were inside the slums or even inside the desert. You will have a hard ti killing those believers with just so plague, even if neither you or your skeleton army will be affected by the environnt. If you were not the Hero of Aria, you would have faced so many restrictions and curses the mont you step inside the slums. But while you are not weakened, they are still strengthened by the local blessings. Even without ... well never mind, you can't see it, but there are so priests already praying.)
Damn those priests. So I guess I can cancel my idea to let my plague do its job. It is ti to set the world on fire!
