Chapter 416 Who... brought you to my side?
Chapter 416 Who... brought you to my side?
Lorraine was attacked from both sides and was completely bewildered...
"No? This isn't what I imagined!"
He originally thought that by tearing down the iron chains, he had saved a few unlucky guys. Even if they weren't grateful, they should at least be united against Mayor Bourne and his Twilight followers.
Little did they know, these severely wounded and dying humans, under the holy light of the Holy Knight Britney, were fully healed and immediately turned against them...
Lorraine lay on the ground in a daze, but fortunately, her Shadow Wolf servants were loyal to their master, and Lorraine was temporarily unharmed.
He thought to himself, "Oh no, I've become a stand-in!"
......
In the eyes of Lieutenant Rayleigh and his men, Lorraine and Terra were evil gods summoned by Mayor Bourne and the Hillsbrad Foothills traitors... Rayleigh witnessed Lorraine and Terra, accompanied by a pack of exceptionally malevolent werewolves, appear out of nowhere from the pool of blood...
The monster summoned by the mayor is very likely Lorraine.
Lieutenant Rayleigh, observing Lorraine's undead body and its ability to simultaneously control werewolves, immediately concluded that Lorraine was an evil demon god...
Mayor Bourne sacrificed so many lives just to summon Lorraine... As the last warrior of the remnants of Lordaeron, Rayleigh was enraged. He would avenge the people of Hillsbrad and his warriors!
If Lorraine knew what the human paladin was thinking at this moment, she would be so angry she would vomit blood.
Unfortunately, Lorraine was completely bewildered; he couldn't understand why these human sacrifices were attacking him.
......
Couldn't Rayleigh see that Lorraine and Terra were working together against the mayor and his men?
Rayleigh believed that the chaotic battle between Lorraine and the mayor's men was due to the evil demon god going out of control, causing Mayor Bourne and others to suffer a backlash, and the demon wolves attacking these human believers...
By any measure, Lorraine is a major threat.
As for why the blood elf mage Terra was here, and even helped the necromancer fight the summoner, Leylan only guessed that Terra might be a disguised blood elf, or a servant already controlled by the evil god...
......
When Mayor Bourne saw Lorraine being attacked, he suddenly burst into laughter, which only fueled Lorraine's anger.
"What are you laughing at? You think I'm saving them? Here's a surprise for you!"
Lorraine had the werewolves tear off the chains binding many of the sacrifices, and most of them fell down like raindrops, densely packed. There were at least several hundred, if not thousands. The human paladins' ingratitude was likely a misunderstanding.
If an unlucky person falls directly into lava in a crevice, that's just bad luck.
Lorraine was lucky to be among the few survivors who had already fallen to their deaths.
His runic right eye finally found its target: Mayor Bourne, who, upon seeing the remains of recently deceased humans standing on the platform, had risen to their feet, still chained. Their eyes were bloodshot, unlike the ordinary zombies the mayor had seen years before.
It doesn't seem like a typical undead puppet.
Lorraine smiled as he observed the blood energy he detected under the Eye of Truth, which supported the mayor's blood shield.
Destroying the conduit broke the mayor's invincibility. However, the magic of the blood could not be wasted; Lorraine's recent research and application of the soul, aided by the Plague Seed, had reached a level of consummate skill.
He chose to directly burn the remnants of these poor humans' souls, then disrupt their spirits, causing them to possess each other...
By relying on the rapidly depleted soul power and blood energy, it indirectly disrupts Mayor Born's sacrifice, weakening the mayor's shield and abilities.
"It's now!"
Accompanied by several hundred newly transformed berserk blood zombies—more effective than werewolves—they pounced on the scribe Horace and the commoner Wilkes, showing these troublesome fellows what one-on-one combat and gang warfare truly meant...
In a one-on-one duel, Lorraine commands a group of mindless, berserk blood zombies whose strength, speed, and movement speed are multiplied and who are immune to slowing and control effects, to single-handedly take down tough opponents like the sorcerer Horace and the assassin Wilkes.
The mob fight involved Lorraine dividing and surrounding the mayor's men, launching wave after wave of attacks until all the cult members were brought down.
As for Rayleigh and the others who suddenly turned against him and mistakenly took Lorraine as the culprit, Lorraine simply let the Shadow Soul Devouring Werewolf play with them.
He didn't intend to kill them, but specifically grabbed Brancard, who had hit him with a stick, and gave him a good beating...
While beating him, he muttered, "Serves you right for stealing my teacher's thunder! Serves you right for sneaking up on me! Serves you right for being prettier than me..." Soon, Brancard was beaten into a pulp, his head covered in fear. His terror of ghouls and werewolves made this still-young human lad incredibly timid...
Brancard was also one of the lucky survivors of the Scourge attack on Lordaeron, and the fear of the undead plague was etched into his bones.
Even with the holy light of Paladin Britney shining upon them, the Bloodrage Ghouls and Soul Eater Werewolves still cornered them... Lorraine's gloom vanished instantly, and she felt a little better. However, in that one minute, Captain Terra, who had been on guard, suddenly asked, "Where's the fragment you had?"
Terra looked down and around, then teleported to where Lorraine had been standing, exclaiming in horror, "And what about the ground you were standing on?"
"what?"
Lorraine had just finished venting her anger on Brancard and had momentarily forgotten about this. What seemed like a lot had happened was actually only three minutes. Lorraine spread her hands, then stomped her foot, "Damn it, it's all gone! Everything's gone..."
"Hahaha...foolish mortals..."
Mayor Bourne, who was watching Lorraine's performance from his high vantage point, suddenly opened his hand... In his hand were three fragments of bloodstone... Looking at the warlock Horace and Wilkes, who were being devoured by the Bloodrage Ghouls, they were clearly being attacked and even torn apart, yet they all had smiles on their lips.
His eyes were vacant; he seemed to be smiling, but it was a forced smile that was more painful than crying...
Lorraine and Terra both sensed something was wrong. Sure enough, Mayor Bourne burst into laughter, shook his head, and held up three fragments of the Bloodstone Egg.
"The previous summoning was too hasty; the messenger of God went elsewhere. Now, thank you for bringing it back to us..."
The mayor opened his mouth, and a tentacle shot out, instantly coiling around the fragments of the Bloodstone Egg. He swallowed all three in one gulp, his expression one of ecstasy, as if he were consuming a banned substance.
This intoxicated yet self-destructive euphoria made Lorraine frown.
Sure enough, upon closer inspection, he saw that the mayor had swallowed three fragments.
The clerk Horace, the commoner Wilkes, the farmer Rain, the farmer Gaz, the miner Hackett, the blacksmith Kabbalah... the tailor... the cook... some of them swallowed the fragments that Lorraine had momentarily forgotten.
Lorraine had no idea when these fragments had been taken by the other party...
We could only watch helplessly as these humans swallowed the fragments of the Bloodstone Egg...
"Oh no. What am I going to bring back to complete the mission?"
"Is this the time to worry about that?"
