Chapter 321 Awakening the Undead
Roland entered the Dragon Ridge Passage from the Silver Gate.
While passing by, Roland also visited and expressed his condolences to the staff of Longji Mountains.
Including the Silver Gate, workers responsible for deciphering the dwarven ruins, explorers who explore the passages and gem fields in the Dragon Spine Passage, ranch staff who build the Dreamweaver Spider Ranch in a safe area after exploring and eliminating hidden dangers, and staff responsible for other daily affairs.
After looking at the whole thing, Roland went deep into the unexplored Dragon Ridge Passage.
Not all areas of the Dragon's Back Passage are completely dark.
Although there was no illumination from strange devices, and the lighting system that the clan states had built had almost collapsed, there was still light in some of the Dragon Spine passages.
Fluorescent plants grow on the mountain walls, emitting a faint fluorescence. Some cave creatures have a glowing lantern on their heads to attract prey.
Although these lights were relatively weak, they indeed illuminated the dark Dragon Ridge Passage.
As for these lights, Roland naturally chose to stay away from them.
In the dark Dragon's Back Passage, light does not represent safety.
Anyway, as a mid-level transcendent, Roland has a dark vision, so the lack of light does not have much impact on him.
Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Roland avoided the lights as much as possible and walked in the dark, and he would just pass by the cave creatures blocking his way.
If Roland encountered a cave creature that blocked his way or hindered him, he would not show mercy and would kill it cleanly and efficiently.
After witnessing the biodiversity of the Dragon's Back Mountains and marking two abandoned dwarf territories and a dwarf territory that seemed to be inhabited by living creatures, Roland finally got around to the back of the green tide.
After extending his senses, scanning and confirming that there were no green-skinned orcs ambushing outside, Roland also carefully walked out of the Dragon Ridge Passage.
Here is: Dwarven Territory, Agate Gate.
Similar to the position of the Silver Gate in the Dragon's Back Mountains, it is also one of the important exits connecting the Dragon's Back Mountains and Donnar.
However, compared to the Silver Clan, the Agate Clan here had much worse luck. The Green Tide entered Donnar from here, and therefore, the Agate Clan was directly wiped out by the crazy Green Tide.
Even though some Onyx Dwarves escaped to Donnar, they died in large numbers after the green tide violently hit Donnar.
Although there is a high probability that some lucky ones have escaped, the Agate Clan can basically be declared extinct.
Roland stood at the top of the Agate Gate, lowered his head, and silently watched the green-skinned orcs below carrying out truckloads of weapons and equipment from the depths of the Dragon's Back Mountains.
Looking in the direction the green-skinned orcs had walked out, Roland saw another main passage of the Dragon Ridge Mountains.
The Agate Gate, as an important node in the Dragon's Back Mountains, connects three main passages. One leads to the Silver Gate, another leads to the Thousand Trees Gate in the southwest, and the last one leads to the depths of the Dragon's Back Mountains.
The Bloody Furnace is located on this main passage leading to the depths.
Roland raised his eyebrows slightly and decided to cut off the connection between the Bloody Furnace and this side first.
He had no intention of destroying the Scarlet Furnace. After all, those enslaved dwarves and goblins were innocent, and he couldn't just go over and shoot them all.
This was a bit too extreme, so Roland planned to blow up the main passage.
After the transport team walked out of the agate gate, Roland also jumped from a high place and glided into the main passage in front of him.
Compared to construction, Roland is better at destruction.
If Roland were asked to build a main passage, it would take him a long time, but if he were asked to destroy it, it would be much easier.
After taking a quick look at the main passage and confirming its structure, Roland set up magic arrays one after another at the vulnerable parts of the passage.
After spending half a day to arrange the collapse range to about 100 meters, Roland took out all the potions used to attract cave spiders from the space bracelet 100 meters away and placed them in a box with a magic circle.
Finally, Roland left the main passage.
Flying back to the top of the Agate Gate, Roland snapped his fingers as he looked at the empty main passage.
"boom!!!!!"
All the magic arrays that Roland had just set up were detonated. The huge explosion instantly penetrated the fragile structure of the main channel, causing it to collapse.
Countless amounts of mud fell from the passage, burying the entire passage.
The entire agate gate was shaking noticeably.
Under Roland's gaze, countless piles of mud completely covered the entrance to the main passage.
And deep in the passage, the box containing medicines also exploded with a loud bang, and countless liquids inside spilled all over the surroundings. The liquids evaporated quickly, giving off a strange fragrance.
As the fragrance flowed, some chirping sounds quickly rang out around the passage.
After seeing the successful blast in the main channel, Roland turned his head and looked at the green tide in Donnar's control area behind him. After casting an invisibility spell on himself, he leaped and flew directly down, leaving the green-skinned orcs entrenched in the Agate Gate at a loss, running around everywhere.
After several green-skinned orcs ran around and bumped into each other, and then started fighting each other, the green-skinned orcs from the Agate Gate forgot all about the shock they had just experienced and started a fierce fight.
Taking off from the Dragon's Back Mountains, we quickly entered the area of Donnar that first fell to the Green Tide.
Roland glided down from the sky and landed gently on a tall tree.
Roland remained invisible, gently standing on a leaf with one foot, and looked around calmly.
Under the Green Tide's habit of de-urbanization, Roland could basically see nothing else except the forest in front of him and a grassland in the distance.
Not to mention obvious landmarks or anything like that.
Roland raised his head and looked towards the sky.
Although the sun's rays blocked all the light from the stars, this did not prevent Roland from finding the positions of these stars in the sky.
As a wizard, Roland also knows a little about astrology.
Although astrology is stereotypically used at night, is it really that inconvenient? It can be used during the day as well.
Therefore, after capturing the position of the stars, Roland quickly calculated his current position.
He opened the map, confirmed his location, and confirmed the direction based on astrology.
Roland looked towards the south, then took off again and flew towards the south.
His first target was the capital of the Donnar Knight Kingdom, which was the first to be destroyed by the Green Tide.
According to records, because the green tide did not attract the attention of Donnar at the beginning, other Donnar kingdoms that were not attacked by the green tide also chose to watch with gloating.
They never thought that the Green Tide had the ability to destroy a Knight Kingdom, and they were happy to see other Knight Kingdoms suffer misfortune.
Therefore, without the help of other Knight Kingdoms, this first Knight Kingdom became the first victim of the Green Tide.
The entire capital was wiped out by the brutal green tide of blood, leaving no one alive.
This is also the only capital city of the Knight Kingdom where no one of the capital population, including all civilians, survives.
After this, the civilians in the fallen capitals were basically evacuated.
After flying out of the forest and arriving at the grassland, Roland began to see the green-skinned orcs active in the green tide-controlled area.
The green-skinned orcs at the back of the green tide seem more violent than those at the front, and they will fight as long as they make eye contact.
As Roland was flying across the grassland, he saw countless green-skinned orcs hacking and slashing at each other, each one of them trying to kill each other. There were broken and scattered bodies and blood everywhere.
In addition to various scars, these broken bodies also had obvious bite marks.
The green-skinned orcs on the grassland were fighting while advancing deeper into the grassland.
Relying on the convenience of flying, Roland quickly arrived deep in the grassland.
Deep in the grassland, hundreds of thousands of densely packed green orcs were fighting frantically, and the entire center of the grassland was covered with countless layers of flesh and blood. Here, the green orcs were only thinking about fighting, cool!
When hungry, it will devour the flesh and blood of the defeated. When thirsty, it will drink the boiling blood.
With the continuous influx of green-skinned orcs from the outside world into this flesh-grinding machine, the population here has always been astonishing. Countless green-skinned orcs are fighting frantically, and one by one, green-skinned extraordinary ones stand out in the fight.
When the extraordinary people are born, the green-skinned extraordinary people will still be active here for a while, but when they can no longer feel the joy of fighting, they will take the initiative to leave here.
Countless green-skinned orcs came here. Some of them wanted to become extraordinary beings and leave smoothly, while others wanted to become the nourishment for the birth of extraordinary beings.
Looking at the thick layer of flesh and blood on the grassland, Roland could hardly imagine how many greenskins had died here.
He frowned and quickly crossed the battlefield.
Should we say that they are worthy of being the old greenskin warlords behind the green tide? When the greenskin warlords on the border were still relying on fighting everywhere to train greenskin extraordinary people, these old greenskin warlords had already begun to consciously cultivate extraordinary people.
After crossing the grassland, Roland came to a plain.
On the plain, Roland first found a big river flowing through the plain, and then he flew down along the river.
Water is the source of life. At least, for the Donnar people, water is a very important resource. Therefore, many villages and cities are built beside rivers.
The same is true for the capital city that Roland is looking for this time.
According to the intelligence compiled by the War Committee, as long as we keep searching downstream along the main stream of the river, we will sooner or later find this big city built next to the main stream.
Going down the river, Roland also saw a large number of green-skinned orcs and their domesticated beasts drinking water beside the river, and saw the corpses of green-skinned orcs being thrown into the river without any care.
Roland also saw green-skinned orcs fishing in the river.
As green-skinned orcs make their livings by hunting and gathering, they are also very good at fishing and hunting. Therefore, Roland saw many green-skinned orc fishing and hunting camps along the entire river.
In addition, Roland also saw some greenskin tribes and greenskin cities built beside the rivers.
However, these tribes and cities are not dangerous, and there is no greenskin warlord. Greenskin warlords don't seem to like building cities next to rivers.
In addition to the greenskins, Roland also saw villages and city ruins that originally belonged to humans.
As the area controlled by the Green Tide for the longest time, this region is almost deserted, and all human villages and towns have been reduced to ruins by the Green Tide. Only a few green-skinned orcs are left wandering around in these ruins for unknown reasons.
As for these villages and towns, Roland collected the remaining resentments in the ruins in the spirit of being here since he was already here.
Although the resentment of these small villages and towns has been worn away by time, some ruins have even completely dissipated the resentment, leaving no trace of their existence.
However, Roland collected as much of the rest as possible.
After going down the river, Roland finally saw his first destination.
Standing on a piece of driftwood on the river, Roland looked up at the high wall in the distance.
This is a city that covers a wide area and is extremely tall. According to the information compiled by the War Committee, the city's permanent population is at least 100,000.
A city with a population of 100,000 is considered a rare large city in this ancient world full of extraordinary existence.
Under the comprehensive siege of the Green Tide, all the people in this city died tragically at the hands of the Green Tide.
As they got closer, Roland also saw what the city looked like.
One half-closed, broken gate stood above the river, while the other gate had completely fallen and was crookedly stuck on the ground in the river.
The two gates were extremely broken, with large holes on each side. The blood from humans and green-skinned orcs painted the gates into a messy mixture of red and green.
As he got closer, Roland also saw the bodies of some human soldiers.
The gate was inserted into the river ground. Although it was tattered and had so many holes that it could not block the flow of the river at all, a relatively still and stable water area was formed at the relatively intact area at the bottom.
Some human soldiers wearing armor with countless scars on their armor were lying in these relatively calm waters.
Roland jumped slightly, jumped up from the driftwood, and landed on the gate inserted into the water. He looked down at the human corpse in the water.
A strong sense of resentment on these corpses was particularly noticeable in Roland's eyes.
Roland sighed, without any resentment, and slowly rose into the air, passed through the remaining gate, and flew into the ruins of the city in front of him.
After entering the city, Roland felt the resentment that spread throughout the ruins of the city.
The blood of hundreds of thousands of people watered the resentment of this city.
Even if there were no necromancers to take advantage of these resentments, they would already be able to affect the material world. However, what these resentments could do was still very limited, and they could only make people feel a little uncomfortable.
Roland landed gently on the bank of the river and looked up at the street in front of him.
The endless resentment is almost visible.
Even though Roland was a human being and not a green-skinned orc, he could still feel the resentment and hostility towards himself.
It seemed that they were also very dissatisfied with the behavior of other knight kingdoms in Donnar who had stood by and watched their destruction.
Roland sighed, ignored the resentment, and took his first step toward the street.
This is a rare city ruin without any green orcs wandering around.
Although the green-skinned orcs are not very smart, they will not stay here if they are treated with resentment and hostility and feel uncomfortable. Therefore, there are not many green-skinned orcs wandering around here.
Roland's resentment and hostility towards him did not matter. Even if Roland did not take action, the Crown of Domination could automatically defend against the passive influence of these resentments.
Roland strolled through every corner of the city, inserting runes into the ruins one by one, calmly preparing for the ceremony to awaken the dead.
As runes were injected into various places one by one, more and more dark elements began to gather here.
After the dark elements gathered, the resentment in the city ruins became stronger and more vibrant under the nourishment of the dark elements.
Visible black resentment began to appear above the city and gradually blocked out the sunlight. The light that entered the city became less and less, and the entire city gradually became dim.
An atmosphere of danger, oppression, and filled with countless negative emotions is slowly forming in the city.
However, although the resentment grew stronger and more vigorous, under the restraint and control of the runes, it was gradually brought under Roland's control.
Therefore, even under the stimulation of the dark elements, the resentment visible to the naked eye almost took the initiative to transform some corpses in the city ruins into undead, but under Roland's control, the resentment was still unable to transform the corpses into undead.
After walking through every corner of the city, Roland arrived at the center of the city.
He took out the altar that had been prepared long ago from his space bracelet and placed it in the center of the city. Then, Roland walked up to the altar.
Standing on the altar, Roland connected the runes next to the altar ground to the altar.
As the altar was successfully connected to the entire ceremony, a dark resentment emerged above Roland's head, and countless malicious and crazy words also rang in Roland's ears.
Roland blocked out these words and continued his ritual.
He extracted a trace of dark element blessing from the high priest's staff in the space bracelet and placed it on the altar under his feet to borrow the power of the dark element world.
Then, Roland took out the black crystal and embedded it into the platform on the altar.
After the black crystal was inlaid, endless dark elements were extracted from the dark element world and madly emerged from the altar, injecting into the black resentment gathered above Roland's head.
Finally, Roland took the Crown of Domination off his right finger.
After returning to normal size, Roland threw the Crown of Domination from his hand to the altar.
"Wake up, unfortunate dead, I need your strength."
