Chapter 281 Spread of the Infection

Chapter 281 Spread of the Infection

After they entered Dendera Fortress, the sky was already dim.

At this time, the fortress was a mess. On the originally untidy street, there was black, mottled blood everywhere. It was probably left behind from when the zombies and mutants attacked the alliance soldiers, and the alliance army had not had time to clean it up. Many of the buildings in the city had collapsed. Needless to say, this must have been due to the battle. There were traces of fires everywhere in the fortress, and even now, the faint smoke had not been able to dissipate.

It was not until they saw this that Julia and the others realized how much trouble the zombies and mutants that Roy created had brought to this fortress.

When Roy and the others appeared in Dendera Fortress, many zombies and mutants that had been hiding in the dark appeared one after another. They seemed to have sensed the perfect T-Virus in Roy and unconsciously gathered toward him.

Looking at these ugly fellows, Roy counted and found that there were hundreds of mutants, all of which had survived by hiding from the alliance army’s clean-up operation. From this number, it was obvious that the alliance army had not been very effective at eliminating the mutants. They probably did not have much of a solution to the elusive mutants, or else they would not have resolutely decided to withdraw from the fortress.

Now, these mutants and zombies were all Roy’s. Since he could control them through the virus in his demon blood, they were natural troops to him.

However, these mutants did not recognize anyone other than Roy. Roy could only use some of his blood to create ‘demon perfume’ through the system and spray it on Julia, Benia, and Fat Tiger so that mutants and zombies would not harass them.

As for Cassandra and Giovanni, because they were undead, they did not attract the attention of the mutants and zombies.

As soon as they entered the city, Benia immediately became busy. Dendera Fortress was built on a mountain, so this city could not use the method of detonating a volcano to create a lava environment suitable for demons to stay in. But it did not matter. As long as they could create a Cover of Darkness to block the sunlight, the demon army could stay here. At the same time, Cassandra’s undead troops could be stationed at ease.

Giovanni reported to Roy and then left Dendera Fortress for the time being. He planned to gather his vampire troops. Although the distance was quite far away, vampires were flying creatures, so Giovanni would probably be able to rush back soon.

Roy did not have any objections to forming a gigantic army. To be honest, he felt that it was necessary to form such an army.

After the battle, he believed that the name of the great Demon Osiris would spread throughout the entire world of Ashan. At that time, he would become a big boss-like existence. Although this big boss was powerful enough, he would not have the style of a big boss if he had to fight personally every time he encountered a battle.

Fat Tiger had nothing to do, so he could not wait to bring back the corpses of the green dragons and emerald dragons that had died in the battle outside the city as soon as the sky lit up. He pestered Roy to roast them for him to eat. Helpless, Roy could only set up a huge roasting rack in the fortress and then find a group of death knights. He ordered them to dismount, put away their swords, and rotate the roasting rack to heat the dragon meat evenly.

These poor death knights. In any undead army, they were absolute high-level combat power and aloof. But when it came to Roy, they could only become tools for roasting meat. Who knew what their souls would think...

Under Roy’s orders, Rafaro was restricted to staying in the fortress, and he was asked to contribute some death power to strengthen Cassandra. Although Rafaro was a hundred times unwilling, under Roy’s coercion and temptation, he could only agree. After all, he was seeking a complete resurrection rather than existing in this world in the form of a spectral dragon. To achieve this goal, he needed to rely on Roy’s power...

Julia was currently checking the spatial portal in Dendera Fortress. There was no need to think too much about this spatial portal, as it was probably impossible for it to connect to Aglan Fortress. But perhaps under the consideration of ‘we might be able to use it in the future’, the alliance army only cleared the coordinates of Aglan Fortress but did not destroy the spatial portal. After checking, Julia confirmed that this spatial portal was still usable after injecting magic power.

As for how to use it, Roy was not in a rush. He was currently checking the library of the fortress.

Dendera Fortress was originally a fortress of the kingdom of Bracada. How could the mages who loved to research magic not build a library in this city?

Moreover, it seemed that the level of this fortress was higher than that of Ulambus, so the library here had more books than Ulambus. Roy had not found books about space magic in Ulambus, and he finally found some here.

Therefore, while the others were busy, Roy condensed an ice seat in the library and began reading these books about space magic...

At the same time, the remnants of the alliance army finally escaped to Aglan Fortress tens of kilometers away.

When the garrison troops in Aglan Fortress saw that Astral, Alaric, and the others had fled here in a mess, they were shocked. When Dendera Fortress had asked for reinforcements, they naturally knew about it, but they did not expect the alliance army to lose so quickly. It had only been more than a day...

In particular, after knowing that the three famous heroes, Death Lord Arantir of Heresh, the Chain Lightning Master Solmyr, and the elven ranger Gelu, were all dead, everyone was stunned speechless!

It could be said that the alliance army was careless, and it could also be said that the demon had many tricks up their sleeves. But none of this could not hide the fact that the alliance army was defeated, so Aglan Fortress immediately reported the entire matter to the various races and desperately sought reinforcements.

In Astral’s description, this great demon Osiris, who suddenly appeared in the world, was a rarely seen powerful demon. Although he was not a demon lord yet, he had power no less than that of a demon lord. He had buried Arantir’s undead army and taken away Gelu’s Sword of Frost. The threat of this demon was no less than that of Demon Lord Kha-Beleth!

Messengers quickly brought the news to various countries. The elves of AvLee, the human kingdom of Erathia, and the mage kingdom of Bracada all received reports about the battle of Dendera Fortress. At the same time, a messenger went to the undead kingdom of Heresh to inform them about Arantir’s death.

Without a doubt, this caused a tremendous shock in all countries. To be frank, these dead heroes were all people with immense influence in their respective countries. However, they had all been killed in a battle with a demon. How could the countries accept this loss?

However, what made the countries most afraid of was the strange plague mentioned by Astral in his report!

Although Astral had not seen Roy spread this plague with his own eyes, he vowed that Demon Osiris definitely caused it. In his report, Astral mentioned the terrifying contagiousness of this plague and the details of the mutations of the infected, and he expressed extreme worry about it. Except for high-level creatures with powerful bodies, it could likely infect almost all other creatures. This was especially so after Dendera Fortress changed hands and fell into Demon Osiris’s control. This meant that the spread of the plague was beyond the control of the alliance...

If Demon Osiris continued to spread this plague, then this plague might spread to the entire world. It would be a catastrophic disaster!

OS

The AvLee elves were the first to respond After receiving the news, they dispatched a large number of troops from their capital, the Forest Maze Irollan. The heroes Ryland, Gem, Mephala, and others led the AvLee troops. They also carried numerous artifacts and prepared to go to reinforce Aglan Fortress.

Realizing that ordinary dragons like green dragons could not pose a threat to the demon, the wood elves brought many high-level dragons. Not only were there golden dragons, but there was even a batch of faerie dragons recruited from the Magic Forest!

The kingdom of Bracada reacted slightly slower, but it also sent many troops to Aglan. Due to the size of these troops, they could not teleport through spatial gates and could only travel on land.

However, compared to the elven and mage kingdoms, the kingdoms of Erathia and Heresh reacted very strangely. Alaric had returned to the capital, Steadwick, but Erathia had not made any movements. The same was true for the kingdom of Heresh. Although they were shocked by Arantir’s death, they had no intention of sending troops.

Perhaps this was because Arantir had been fooling people under the title of the Chosen of Asha all the time. Now that he was dead, it proved that he was not the true Chosen. And Heresh was originally loose sand, with each death lord in charge of their own territories. This situation would occur when there was no powerful figure to integrate the armies of the necromancers.

The movement of the kingdom of Heresh was still understandable, but the kingdom of Erathia was incomprehensible. Back then, Steadwick almost fell in the demon army’s attack, and it was only saved thanks to the alliance of the various races. Under such circumstances, Erathia should have definitely cooperated and dispatched troops, but there had been no response. Time passed slowly. The guards in Aglan Fortress were tense and vigilant, worried about when Demon Osiris would come with his army tens of kilometers away. However, before the demon army appeared, a T-Virus infected person appeared in Aglan Fortress first!

The cause of this matter was still from the well where Roy had thrown the virus. No one had expected that the underground water vein of the well connected to the river in the canyon!

After Roy threw the T-Virus, the well became contaminated, causing zombies to appear in Dendera Fortress. At the same time, the fish living in the well were infected. Although Roy had dropped only a few drops of demon blood, the T-Virus continued to multiply in the creatures’ bodies. Those infected fish attacked other aquatic creatures and finally spread the T-Virus through the connected water veins.

The canyon river was where many animals drank water. When some animals were drinking water, the zombie fish in the water attacked them. Then these animals became zombies and attacked other animals. Just like a chain reaction, as time passed, more and more zombies infected with the T-Virus appeared!

Even Roy, the mastermind, did not expect the T-Virus to spread so quickly...
