Chapter 653 I look forward to your reaction, Elrod
Plague, a plague that has never been seen before, but of an incredibly strong intensity.
The shaman had encountered plagues before, but he had never heard of a plague as infectious as this one.
In just a short period of time, he sensed the roar of God Elrod, and half of the Elrod believers in the barbarian garrison had been infected with the plague.
These believers are the connection between Elrod and the main material world. It can be said that once all the believers are in trouble, or even not all of them, as long as 70% to 80% are dead, the remaining 20% to 30% of the believers will change their beliefs over time, or die of old age.
After all of a god's followers died and he fell into a deep sleep, he could still be revived and return to the throne with the help of one or two followers. This was considered a "rumor" even among gods.
With so many barbarian tribes out in force, Elrod should have left behind some of his believers as a safety precaution, so that even if something went wrong, at least they would still be able to breathe.
However, this approach is a normal method for righteous gods, but it is a completely different matter for evil gods like Elrod.
Because Elrod's divinity was split, his condition was so bad that he couldn't take care of the believers on both sides, or he would divide the believers into two groups, which would lead to mistakes.
Either he would take back the divided godhead in one fell swoop, or else he would be in big trouble if he only cared about the present and not the future.
Mo Cheng continued to observe the status of the barbarian army from a high place. The plague he learned from Taisai was not only contagious but also extremely concealed.
The barbarians who were far away from the Jingguan were not uninfected, but the disease had not yet broken out. When they ran back to their tribes out of fear, they, who were plague carriers themselves, spread the plague silently to their own tribes.
It is highly contagious, has severe outbreaks, and is even highly hidden in a way that is completely different from how it manifests itself during an outbreak.
"Tsk, why do I suddenly feel that what the Duke of Hell said about Tai Sai is probably true."
The intensity of this plague far exceeded Mo Cheng's expectations. He could even guess what kind of turmoil it would cause once it was put on the battlefield.
At the same time, he guessed that if someone gave him a [Detect Camp], would he now be a chaotic evil with black light all over his body and black and red in it?
Before nightfall, there was no healthy person left in the barbarian garrison. Meanwhile, when the barbarians were in chaos, the garrison had been unknowingly surrounded by Minanka's nobles.
They received the news from Mo Cheng and came here after some investigation.
But without exception, the nobles of Minanka all looked very ugly at this time.
The nobles of Minanka could naturally see how horribly contagious this virulent plague was. To put it bluntly, if Mo Cheng used the same methods on Minanka that he used on the barbarians, it wouldn't be long before Andair would be able to announce the recovery of the entire territory.
At the same time, the nobles of Minanka also knew what Mo Cheng's intention was in sending them the message.
"Is the Dragon Count warning us?"
"No, it's a threat, and we all have to take this threat seriously and rationally."
"The power of the Dragon Count himself is enough to destroy us. Expressing threats like this means that he is not going to take action yet."
…
Ignoring the whispers of the Minanka nobles, Mo Cheng continued to observe the symptoms of the barbarians after being hit by the plague from a high place.
In the morning, witch doctors from various tribes tried to use herbs to treat the disease, but failed.
Then the shaman began to chant incantations, using the spirits of his ancestors and the power of nature to drive the plague away from his people, but failed.
By noon, a large number of barbarians lost their strength and fell down, and their bodies began to be covered with poisonous sores.
By the evening, even the most heavily defended tribes that worshipped Elrod had all fallen.
During this period, there were barbarians who tried to break out of the garrison, but before they could get far, they were shot and killed by the Minangka soldiers who surrounded them.
After the shooting, the wizard accompanying the army used a fireball to burn it to death .
These people had been watching for a whole day, so they could naturally see the horror of the plague on the barbarians.
If a corpse is left behind, and there is even the slightest trace of contamination left, then Minanka will be plunged into turmoil.
At night, there was no fire lit in the barbarian camp, but there were screams that lasted all night long.
The screams not only dealt a devastating blow to the morale of the barbarians themselves, but also brought heavy pressure to the soldiers of Minanka, so much so that there were even camp howls at night. Fortunately, they were suppressed in time.
Mo Cheng just watched indifferently on everything that happened today, while constantly recording data.
No one knew where Mo Cheng was, and no one knew where the dragon riders had gone.
The Minanka nobles around them spent the whole day thinking about how to contain the plague. They absolutely could not let it spread outside , and they even requested a large number of magician support from the rear.
They planned to burn the entire barbarian camp to ashes.
On the second day, the screams seemed to be much less, and the barbarians seemed to have no strength to scream.
But Mo Cheng saw clearly that the Elrod believers who had preserved the most strength were holding weapons and killing those tribesmen who were already unable to move one by one. At the same time, they were building altars and sacrificing the lives of their own people to Elrod.
"Finally there is a response, otherwise I would still be worried..."
What are you worried about?
Mo Cheng did not say it, but when the followers of Elrod sacrificed a tribe, the altar suddenly released blood light that enveloped the believers, and the poisonous sores on the believers' bodies quickly subsided.
As the carbuncle subsided, physical strength and power were constantly recovering, but this was not enough, because only a part of the Elrod believers were recovered.
Elrod is the god of blood sacrifice. If you want more divine favor, you must offer more blood sacrifices.
On normal days, the barbarians would usually perform blood sacrifices on captured enemies or powerful monsters, but now...
Elrod's followers looked at the barbarians from other tribes who were screaming and falling to the ground around them. What kind of sacrifice could be simpler than a guy who was infected with the plague and had no power to resist?
As Elrod 's followers attacked their own kind, Mo Cheng couldn't help but smile, stretched out his palm, spread his five fingers, and began the countdown.
"five."
"Four."
"three."
"two."
"one."
"Ding Dong, the time for the plague experience card is up."
As Mo Cheng said these words that no one heard, the barbarians who were hurriedly fleeing from the pursuit of Elrod's followers suddenly found that the poisonous sores on their bodies suddenly disappeared.
As the boils disappeared, strength and power returned.
The scene in the garrison suddenly changed from a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep to a situation where both sides were evenly matched, and there was an indelible and deep hatred in their eyes.
"If I kill them all by myself, there's always a chance I'll miss some. Given the current situation, I guess the barbarians themselves can't tolerate Elrod's followers."
Mo Cheng put away the records and smiled as he watched the fierce conflict that broke out in the barbarian encampment. "You can rely on your followers to sweep away many barbarians. Now I have helped you to complete the division. What are you going to do next? "
"Should I continue to expend my divine power to bless the believers so that they can kill all the barbarians here, and then I will kill them all when they are exhausted?"
"Or did you send down a saint regardless of everything, only to be found and killed by me?"
"I look forward to your reaction, Elrod."
