The dark and ink-like thick fog that rolled and spread from the depths of the southeastern sea, they finally gradually enveloped the entire Bilgewater Bay Freeport city, gradually encompassing the sky of the most populous city in the southern part of the Python River Islands, the streets built along the mountains, mountain bridges, houses and sea piers, etc., in the dark and cold mist.
Then...
Not long after, the black fog that was originally thin became more and more intense!
If anyone looked from home to the distance at this time, the entire harbor city lights that were originally dotted on the sea surface, which were connected with the sea surface in the past, would have disappeared at all? Between the heaven and earth, except for the dark silence, there seemed to be only the endless chill and the faint crying and screaming of the evil spirits hidden in the black fog and the twisted souls of the mourning, crying and screaming sounds of the distorted souls.
Water Grave Area...
In Bilgewater City, anyone with a certain identity or status, after a normal or abnormal death, is not directly buried in the soil, but is distinctively suspended into deep sea water in this area of ​​the port area, which is classified as a water cemetery, and is protected and hidden with sea water and scavenged aggressive fish, and finally returns to the embrace of the 'Bearded Lady'.
Of course, they are not just thrown into the sea. The people of Bilgewater will also tie a float that can float forever on the water above the corpse sinking position, with the name of the dead man, the cause and date of death, etc. on it. Of course, in addition to these, the epitaph can also be a captain's hat, a bounty medal, a sword and a gun weapon, a small lighthouse, a bell or a flag that can represent a name, etc.
But not all Bilgewater people can enjoy the water burial area, because even if the high cost of sinking corpses and corpses and other devices required for water burial, the cemetery fees, labor fees, sea area planning fees, buoy management fees, cleaning fees, guidance fees and other messy fees paid to the gangsters occupying the water burial area are enough to discourage Bilgewater people from ordinary families!
so,
Those Bilgewater people who had lived a humble life, either were chewed and rotted by rats in a ditch or threw them into the sea to make trouble. Not everyone can afford the "cemetery" of the water cemetery, and enjoy the "high-standard" treatment that can be remembered or talked about by living people after death.
And at this time,
Under the black fog, the silent sea surface of the water tomb area, which was originally filled with various floats, suddenly came a series of strange crying sounds like sea birds... Of course, there were also those sharply trembling bells ringing!!
The tombstones of various sizes that floated on the sea with the float suddenly began to sway back and forth and tremble like a spasm...
Thinking about the situation in Bilgewater now, it is not difficult to imagine that the noble corpses floating under the float all came alive and wanted to break the cages that bound them, break free from the heavy water coffins, anchors, gun barrels, gravel nets, rusty shells or solid buckets and other devices that tied them and climb to the shore?
Unfortunately, they are bound and bound in the sea water and cannot swim. At this time, they can do nothing except struggle in the sea water and let the buoys sway together! However, this matter has to be said to be ironic?
Because, those who originally wanted to hide deep in the sea and get rest and mourn under the care of "Ms. Bearded" were the first to become the victims of this extremely serious soul-eating night, and one of the cursed undead who had come back to life...
But no matter what, the current black shadows rolling over the sky of Bilgewater, the fog that clashes in various streets, and the slight cold fog that is breathing on the sea, etc., are enough to illustrate a fact, that is:
The terrible curse black fog that spreads from Shadow Island, the most terrifying soul-eating night in the daily culture of the Bilgewater people. Those black fogs, they are here!
And, it's more serious than ever!!
...
Baigang,
In this gang stronghold transformed from a large warehouse here, the owner of the here Miss Doom Sarah, and the bastards and leaders of the gangs under her were carefully, holding their breath, standing or squatting, and in groups of three or five under the dark side, they were unable to see their hands, and basically no extra light were hidden quietly in the big room.
‘…’
‘…’
call!
Hiss! Huh!
Apart from the vague sound of heavy breathing from someone, they didn't dare to make even a slight sound at this time!
even,
Some people even dare to be careful when breathing, hold their breath and try to keep themselves quiet... However, the muzzle in their hands did not remain still, but allowed it to aim at any abnormal noise at any time, or the breathable windows that might be penetrated by monsters!
Although they themselves knew that those invisible cursed souls, undeads or other monsters that drifted to Bilgewater's Shadow Island with the black mist would definitely not be blocked by the walls of the hard boat-board wooden houses, but they still subconsciously hoped for the solid walls, subconsciously trusting the obstacles that could bring them a little bit of a sense of security, which could be seen from the fact that almost everyone was close to the wall at this time.
‘Woooo…’
suddenly!
Just as Miss Doom Sarah and her unreliable gang leaders waited for a long time without encountering any danger, nor did she see any undead invading, and even the black fog of cursed spread in, she thought the undead could not find them and let them continue to survive here, thinking that they could persevere until dawn...
Finally, an uninvited guest visited the not too hidden place where they were hiding!
‘Huwuwuwuwu…’
A blue transparent ghost made a deep moan and twisted pain that could make those timid people feel the soul trembling, while slowly crawling in from a wall on the south side.
‘!!’
‘!?’
This situation scared everyone present unconsciously turned their own loaded muzzles, and while continuing to hide their bodies in the dark, they also aimed at the uninvited guest who broke in.
It was a strange guy dragging with waves of illusory black smoke, with a faint outline of humanity, but with an extremely distorted face. He could no longer see his appearance clearly, but he kept emitting a faint blue fluorescent, translucent, like a strange guy composed of a ball of black smoke.
It’s indeed the cursed undead from Shadow Island!!
‘…’
‘…’
In an instant, everyone's breathing seemed to have stopped temporarily...
Because, according to some good things, when the soul-eating night, if you hold your breath and hold your breath, can the dead souls ignore their existence in the dark?
No matter whether this trick is useful or not, now, at such a deadly time, no one is too stupid to question the authenticity of this rumor!!
Anyway, everyone, including Miss Doom Sarah, instantly took out the super breath-holding ability they used when diving! They all closed their mouths in an instant, stopped gas exchange between their noses, lungs and the outside world, and their entire bodies were out of the muzzle and eyes, staring at the intruding ghost ghost, alerting the other person's every move, the rest of their body parts were stiff and motionless.
‘Woo…’
‘Woooo…’
The blue figure, like a cloud of smoke, first walked around the study room converted from a large warehouse, and then wandered aimlessly. It seemed that there was no one present? But it seemed that the number of living people hiding here?!
But no matter what it is doing, under such circumstances, no one dares to act rashly at this time!!
‘Woooo…’
‘Woooooooooooo…’
The evil monster ghost on Shadow Island was still wandering and wandering, and the air was filled with the cold and resentful curse... Fortunately, the people here were not those who were particularly timid, otherwise, they might have blown up their own nests without waiting for the other party to take any actual actions?
‘Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
The ghost wandered around the room aimlessly...
It seems that it really can't find anyone hiding here, because it has not touched any person's body, nor has it been left with any extra time in front of a person, and its distorted eyes have not really focused on any person's face or body.
‘Oh woo…’
But soon, it used its practical actions to tell everyone a cruel fact, that is:
When facing these cursed souls of the dead, any superficial move, whether hiding in a house, box, cabinet, or closing your eyes and holding your breath to pretend to be dead, is useless! Because they can smell the stench on living people, hear the sound of their heartbeats, and feel the warm body temperature on their bodies that makes them jealous!
‘Hiss!!!’
After floating around, the ghost was first lightly and pretending to be nothing, stopped at one of the gang leaders who were shaking the most violently, their eyes widened, and even their heads began to sweat coldly. Then, its whole body suddenly became enlarged, turning into a fierce and evil look, and then pounced on it with a scream!
“??”
"Get out!!"
The gang leader who had long been trying to shoot finally became tough at the same time!
So he held the weapon in his hand tightly, raised his muzzle and pulled the trigger hard at the monster that was rushing towards him, causing the musket to hit the fire door of the musket. Then, in the sound of explosion and the firelight of gunpowder that seemed extremely shining in the dark room, a metal bead that was said to be able to cause damage to the undead was shot out from the muzzle that gushed into Mars towards the hideous transparent head of the ghost.
Bang!!
‘!!’
‘Wow~!’
With a gunshot, in the ghost's wailing sound like a wailing sound, after the bullet passed through the ghost's head without any physical body without any obstacle, it stopped suddenly, and then the entire soul body exploded like a piercing bubble?
‘…’
‘…’
After the gunshots, the room quickly returned to peace and fell into darkness again... Of course, unlike just now, the rapid breathing sound here seems to be getting heavier and heavier.
Because, almost everyone can feel that the air around them seems to be getting colder and colder?
‘!!’
‘Look! They are here, bad! Open fire! Open fire!’
Bang! Bang!
‘I have it here too!’
‘And there, shoot them all! Kill them!’
‘Haha! Monster, don’t you want to take my old smoke gun away!!’
‘Go to die from Shadow Island!’
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Maybe it’s excitement, maybe it’s hysteria caused by fear?
Anyway, when these gang leaders hiding here discovered the kind of projectiles fired by the weapons they were in their hands and found that the gadget could indeed cause effective damage to the undead, they began to roar and open fire as more ghosts rushed in from all directions, and soon immersed the warehouse of Baigang Pier in the smoke of gunpowder, firelight and bursts of excited scolding.
Of course, there must be those gunfires one after another, after all, there were more than twenty people inside.
“…”
However, what the gangsters who were shouting loudly and fighting together did not know was that when they were busy shooting and shooting against Ankang's undead, a red-haired woman actually broke one of the ghosts and the windowsill behind the ghosts with one shot, and seized the opportunity and jumped out of the house in a flash of fire?
And the robbers who were constantly shooting alternately had no idea that their leader, their Miss Doom, had already taken the lead and ran outside the house, leaving them all alone.
"snort!"
A bunch of idiots!!
Screamed in her heart, Miss Doom, who jumped out of the house, did not dare to continue shooting easily. After seeing the massive ghost monsters flying in the sky in the black fog flying towards the place where they were hiding, she quickly grabbed her ammunition bag, and suddenly sprinkled a piece of special ammunition that was proven to be able to control the dead. After shocking the ghosts blocking the road, she turned around and disappeared into a small alley with her waist in the dark.
Behind her, there were still sounds of muskets, flashes of fire as muskets fired, figures reflected on the windowsill, and the terrifying ghosts that were rushing towards that place, roughly, there were almost thousands of terrifying ghosts.
“…”
Sarah knew that those idiots might be in danger!
And she now has to take advantage of the chaos and the crowds of people in various places, the screams of living people when they are attacked and the firelights around them have completely disappeared, and go to a safer place! For example, there are more people sharing the pressure on the mountain dense residential areas, or... the temple of Nagacapolos, a must-have safe bearded lady on the top of the mountain?
“Hmph…”
"Destiny Knight, under the power of Shadow Island, your life is just a burden, and I... will generously give you true freedom!!"
Shadow of War, Hekarim, the Death Ghost Knight of the Iron Group, was dancing his big and heavy battle blade, constantly tapping on the hard rocky ground of Bilgewater, grinning coldly, looking at the tall golden armored war horse in front of him, wearing the same golden plate armor, holding a long broad sword emitting the golden flame energy that he hated, mocking him.
Since hundreds of years ago, after being swept by the destruction curse on Fukugami Island, Hekarim and his Iron Group have been imprisoned on Shadow Island forever... And for hundreds of years, he has been sealed in this strange body and war horse recreation!
Driven by that cold curse, Hekarim, apart from patrolling the land he had wanted to conquer in Shadow Island, and the black fog that spread outwardly, he and the ghost army of the Iron Group were unable to fight against the evenly matched enemy for a long time, nor could he fight happily and recall his long-lost glory.
And now, a powerful enemy is right in front of him, and he is also a knight, which makes Hekarim very interested in cutting off the other party's head and giving the other party eternal death, joining his iron group, and enjoying the eternal torture with them!!
"Evil undead!!"
"My great sword, called the Ashes Messenger, is also the nemesis of your undead! I will use its power to uphold justice in this land! I firmly believe that I will destroy you and your undead legions from this island just like the Scourge Legion of our Kingdom of Lordaeron!!"
"I will firmly believe in this!!"
After saying that, Ash Messenger, Paladin Grand Lord, and leader of the Knights of Silver Hands, Alexandros Moglani burst out the power of the holy light in his body, making them look like the "Ash Messenger" in his hand, and he was covered in waves of golden holy light flames, just like a golden war god descending from the divine realm, looking very powerful and powerful!
At the same time, under the illumination of his golden holy light, the black fog around and the undead who were flying around with the black fog actually scattered one after another. In a large area of ​​damage shining with the golden light, a large open area and the fierce undead who was confronting him were left.
He, Alexandros Moglani, was not afraid of the other party, at least, in the one-on-one situation now! And the reason why he has not activated the talisman seal given to him by the Anne leader who has not summoned their Silver Hand Knights to come over is actually to be able to fight the guy in front of him before that!!
After all, if you count it seriously, after the Scourge in the Azeroth world "remedy the trouble" and was controlled by the former prince of the high elf, the new Lich King Kelthas, he, Alexandros Moglani, has not been able to fight against valuable opponents for a long time, especially the evil undead in front of him!
so,
Now he is not even inferior to the unique Death Knight on the other side! But he doesn't know how capable the other party is, is he as strong as the former Lich King Arthas who killed his master and father?
...
“Um…”
"Hey! Which of them will win?"
The little fishman, Fitz, was sitting happily on the largest balcony railing on the second floor of the house with another bad little girl, looking at the two confrontational two cavalrymen in the garden like a small square below, and discussing with wide eyes.
Now the ordinary undead around him dare not approach her or the little girl beside her, so Fitz was also happy and could learn from each other casually, go directly to the railing, swaying his feet, and watch the duel between the knights that was about to break out below.
"Of course it's Uncle Moglani!!"
Anne felt that there was no need to consider this kind of thing at all!
Because, that Uncle Alexandros Moglani is her person. If the other party really can't beat him, she will immediately open the portal and let a large group of hideous and cruel paladins rush out of the car and overturn the ugly centaur undead knight!!
or……
She can also secretly help cheat, for example, secretly tripping the centaur when no one can find it, such as letting it run on the stone, accidentally being hit by flowers, plants, or small stones or something?
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"But I think it's the one with four legs, because it has a stronger figure and more feet!"
Little fishman Fitz doesn't agree with the little girl Anne's opinion, because when in the ocean, those deep-sea monsters fight, they can only win with larger sea beasts with more tentacles or legs! And those thin ones are often defeated and eaten by larger ones!
The two below are actually obviously the blue-green big guy who is stronger than the golden one, and the chance of victory should be greater?
"But……"
Σ(д)
"One, two, three, four... If you include the war horse, Uncle Moglani has six legs in total, and he has more legs!!"
(⊙w⊙`)
Annieko never thought that she could win more with her legs in a fight, but if that was the case, it seemed that Uncle Moglani, whom she summoned from Azeroth, had more feet?
“??”
"Yes... it seems that he really needs two more legs... but he is a little thinner..."
If you compare your body shape, then what I didn't say is that the Undead Knight would be stronger, but if you have more legs than you, the golden guy would have two more, so the little fishman Feiz felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to calculate this matter and who has a bigger chance of winning?
"Anyway, Uncle Moglani will definitely win!!"
With little Annie helping her cheat secretly, she could not have imagined that Paladin Alessandros Moglani could have the possibility of failure.
"No!!"
"I still think that big guy will win!!"
After struggling for a while, the little fishman finally felt that the undead knight, who was covered with various ferocious skeleton decorations on the top and bottom, was better.
"Moglani will win!"
(`)
"Four-legged ones will win!!"
Little Fishman Feiz expressed dissatisfaction!!
"Moglani!!"
(●-`Д-)ノ
‘Four-legged!!’
Fitz still sticks to his point of view!
In this way, the two of them sat on the balcony on the second floor without any mind, confronting the spacious flat ground below, facing the two below, one shining with gold and the other covered with dirty plate armor, but the monster inside was indeed pounded with cold and cold power of the dead spirit inside and started to argue.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
(Little master... someone is here again, right on the roof behind you...)
(Finally, Tibers couldn't help but reminded a little master who just played and argued with his playmates and didn't care about the surrounding situation at all. It thought, if someone dared to be so careless, I'm afraid I don't know how many times he had died, right?)
‘Hehehe…’
‘I still think that little fish is right, will that guy Hekarim win?’
A sinister and empty laugh suddenly sounded behind the two of them, like a sound coming from a distant and deep void.
“Eh?”
∑(△)?!
"who?!"
The next second, whether it was Little Anne who was reminded by his own little bear Tibers or Little Fishman Fitz who was shocked by the dark laughter, they all turned their heads to look at the roof of the balcony where they were behind them.
There, a big lich wearing a red mage robe, wearing an equally red high hat, holding a thick book in his left hand and a long staff in his right hand... The Great Lich?!
