The Ruins of Racinta
Ezra had already mopped up the Undead Trolls on the beach and cleared the way to Cekunia. Aurelia’s journey, however, took her across a barren moor and brought her to a deserted ruin seventy miles from the capital.Racinta used to be one of the oldest villages in Valaria and was inhabited by groups of barbaric tribes and roving traders from the remotest parts of the country.A hundred years ago, the place was still bustling with life, but a deadly plague killed the inhabitants during one of the harshest winters, and now the village was just a lifeless ruin dotted with thatched huts, derelict granaries, and decrepit wooden shacks.While it was possible to avoid the ruins entirely by going around them, the longer route was fraught with dangers. Racinta was surrounded from all sides by a treacherous bog which often swallowed lost travelers and stray caravans whole if they weren’t careful. Thus, it was much safer for any army to pass straight through the ruins and avoid the deceptive terr
The final meeting at the crossroads
Once Aurelia and Ezra had secured their respective territories, they used two Superior Teleportation Scrolls to arrive at the Brookborrow Intersection, an old crossroad where three major highways converged.Marquis Desmond and Marquis Sullivan joined them shortly afterward, accompanied by their scouts.“Mahakam was attacked by creatures born out of blood magic. My men and I had to fight off two Blood Crawlers and then deal with an army of Crimson Berserkers. Something doesn’t seem right,” Marquis Desmond was the first to begin.Marquis Sullivan joined in the conversation as soon as his friend finished. “Avondale was also in their sights, but I ordered my men to set the barricades ablaze, and that seemed to keep those creatures away. I suppose they are afraid of fire.”“That’s right, most creatures summoned using blood magic are vulnerable to fire as well as sacred incantations,” Aurelia replied. “But it still begs the question, how are they using blood magic? As far as I know, the cult
Blood and Darkness
Barely a few hours ago, everyone was fighting tooth and nail to defend Magaravia, but Ezra’s bold approach reversed the situation completely. He was no longer interested in playing the safe game but wanted to hit the necromancers with everything they had.The only problem was Ezra wasn’t looking to take things slow and focus on one city at a time. His strategy relied on launching a two-pronged attack which would give the cultists no time to formulate a counterattack.However, not everyone was eager to fight two battles at once without even knowing what they were dealing with.Aurelia had already tried dissuading Ezra, but he was obstinate about attacking both cities at the same time and it seemed like even the Goddess herself could not convince him to alter his plans.“I understand that you are not too comfortable with the idea of splitting our forces, so I don’t need anything from you. Take the Imperial Army and the Elementalists. Focus on Ignar while I deal with Malodor’s forces in
The Demonic Spells
Centuries had passed since someone last tried to cast such potent demonic spells. Most mages and sorcerers in this age knew precious little about dark magic, while those who had some knowledge preferred to keep it under wraps.Servius was among the rare few who had read extensively about the dark arts and navigated the depths of demonic sorcery to expand his horizons. However, even with his textual knowledge, he could only tell them the bare minimum.“I think it is best if we speak to someone who is more well-versed in this craft,” he said, acknowledging his own ignorance. “Who?” Aleena asked.Servius moved closer to the princess and whispered a suggestion in her ear, to which she nodded silently.Within a few minutes, Ishani’s High Priestess was summoned to the royal palace and taken straight to the throne room.Servius greeted her cordially, before guiding her to the enchanted mirror. “Our forces need your help. We are dealing with demonic spells,” he said, stepping away.The High
Twin Targets
Everyone listened attentively, their eyes focused on the map as Ezra began discussing the plans for the attacks. “Cekunia is the closest city to Magaravia,” he said, circling the port city on the map. “This is where Malodor has been hiding. It is also the last city they captured. Once we manage to liberate it, we probably would not have to worry about another attack on Magaravia.""That's right. The undead presence around the capital was reduced considerably just by clearing those two neighboring villages. I am quite certain that killing a necromancer and liberating his stronghold would deal a crushing blow to their forces,” Servius spoke in his turn.Ezra nodded. “Exactly. Malodor is the oldest necromancer in that group, and I believe he has been leading their forces. With him taken out of the picture, they will lose their edge. Then, we can think about rattling their foundations.”“Since Cekunia is a port city, capturing it would also allow us to reclaim the sea and use the waterway
The Gunsmith and the Necromancers
Ezra parted ways with the group after the meeting concluded and Aurelia bid him farewell with a warm hug, wishing him luck and planting a tender kiss on his cold forehead.However, as Ezra was about to walk out the door, Count Gressil called him back.“If you find my daughter there, let me know. I’ll tear down any damn prison cell keeping her away from me.”As much as Ezra knew the cultists, he was quite sure they would not be keeping Tanya in a dungeon or even a prison cell. Since the Blood Moon was due in two nights, it was an easy guess that they were preparing her for the dark ritual.Just to keep Count Gressil’s troubling thoughts at bay, Ezra decided not to divulge the truth. “You don’t need to worry about Tanya. I love her, and I am going to find her even if I have to search the whole continent.”With those final words, Ezra stormed off and mounted a fresh stallion. Taking the winding shortcut through the barren wheat fields, he cut through the grassy plains and headed for the b
The Mech Army
Once Ezra was safe under the dome of sacred light, he dismounted from his horse and looked around. Everything seemed quiet now, and there were no undead in sight.However, as Ezra was scanning the area, he spotted a steely gray metallic platform sticking out of the sand. It was a triangular structure with a circular disc embedded in the middle and three magic cores fixed on its three corners.“Is this yours?” Marlin asked, staring at the peculiar object with wide-eyed curiosity.Ezra shook his head. “I don’t even know what that thing is. But it doesn’t look like it belongs to the undead either. It’s far too clean and…sophisticated.”As Ezra was analyzing the triangular platform, it started buzzing, and a circle of vibrant blue light appeared on its surface, illuminating the area in its dim glow.“Teleportation successful!” A squeaky voice exclaimed as a human figure appeared on the platform.Milton stepped out of the blue light, removed the laboratory goggles from his eyes, and took of
Magic meets technology
Saving the town of Silver Springs from the undead attack had earned Ezra a valuable ally, and the Governor repaid his debts by sending his best mechanical warriors to aid their savior.Ezra was impressed by Milton’s passion and fierce dedication to his craft. This small-town engineer had done the unthinkable by designing not one but four different kinds of Sentry Bots with limited resources.The existence of such technology in a world where the Industrial Revolution was just beginning was surprising, to say the least, and Ezra suspected they obtained some of their modern resources from dubious sources. But none of that mattered at this point.With the army of Sentries at his back, Ezra had enough firepower to breach the walls of Cekunia and decimate Malodor’s defenses. His only concern right now was dealing with aerial troops.“Thank you for your machines. You are truly a great engineer, probably the best Valaria has produced in centuries,” Ezra said, commending Milton for his innovati
Attack on Cekunia
As Ezra marched toward Cekunia, the Rot Cannons activated, their reddish-black barrels poking out of the holes in the battlements.“Defenders to the front!” Ezra yelled into his controller, commanding the Sentries to break formation.The Sentry Defenders rushed out of the group and marched in front of Ezra, linking their heavy shields together to form an impenetrable phalanx.All ten Rot Cannons fired at once, their swollen barrels contracting like living tissue.Slop!Splash!Blobs of rotting meat drenched in blood and slime splashed against the galvanized shields, filling the air with a putrid stench.Ezra stood behind the fortified phalanx and watched from a safe distance as the cannons fired again, launching another meaty volley of regurgitated flesh and bones.“What the hell are they even firing?” Ezra scrunched his nose in disgust as the rotting stench irritated his nostrils, making his stomach turn in disgust.“I guess you haven’t heard about slime boluses before?” Marlin pitche
All becomes flesh
Marching straight into the heart of an undead city did not seem like the most prudent thing, even though Ezra had an army of Sentry Bots at his back; and Marlin was quick to dissuade him.“You don’t even know what’s on the other side. It’s not a smart idea to climb into that dark hole without a plan.”Ezra brushed off his words of caution with a dismissive shrug. “It doesn’t matter what’s on the other side. I can handle it.”But before Ezra could invade the city with his forces, a dirty green liquid oozed out of the wall and the ridges on its surface started throbbing spasmodically. A repulsive belching noise smothered the silence as the ruptured portion of the wall regurgitated half-eaten bones and wads of flesh which filled the gap, closing the hole.Ezra watched in disgust as the wall convulsed like a feverish pig that was about to vomit its last meal all over the haystacks. The sight of the wall reforming with the remains of the dead made Ezra retch hard, and he had to close his e
