A problem exposed
1146 Words
When the first soldiers started arriving at the catacombs, they were amazed at how well built they were.
But his surprise only lasted a few seconds as the doctors ran carrying medicine and food to the half-elves.
When they arrived at the place where the half-elves were, they began to take their pressure and gave them some nutritious porridge because the food could harm them.
Upon arrival, the semi-elven representatives were surprised to see their companions in that aspect, so they tried to ask but could only get an answer from an old man.
“When the elven troops arrived, we took refuge in this place, thinking that we would be safe.
We had enough food to survive, but when we closed the door of this place; we heard strange noises.
That’s why we decided not to go out, the noise was getting louder so we just waited.
We had the hope that the elves would find us so that we could free ourselves, but that was only our dreams because no one came to help us.
The food started to run out and we haven’t eaten anything for about ten days; the fire went out three days ago.
I have to be grateful to have seen humans, otherwise we would not have survived in this place. “
Alfons, who was listening to everything, approached the half-elf. “Sir, I would like to ask you how you knew this place and if you know that they are the little hands from outside.”
The old elf pointed to the altar, which had the statue of a headless woman. “I think she should be an orc goddess.
This should have been a tomb of orcs or orc characters, but that was thousands of years ago.
Now only in a cold and abandoned place, as for the mummies, at the base of the statue, there is a story written in the orc language.
Although I am not an expert in my youth, I fell in love with an orc woman, who taught me a bit about her language.
Because I liked it, I ended up learning, but from what I could read, this area was an ancient city of dwarves and humans.
But one day something happened, and the dead rose from their graves. Anyone who is bitten or scratched will be infected with the disease of the undead.
Supposedly to avoid further destruction, the city was sealed with its inhabitants, and a temple to the goddess was built on it ... “
The old half-elf only sighed. “It has no name, as I think it was erased when the goddess died, but it seems that the seal of the city has been broken.
That is why they looked at the mummies, because it is assumed that they were the beings that died in the catacombs that led to the temple.
I suppose that now there is a danger in this place, because according to the information that the text says, it was a city of hundreds of thousands of people.
A mega city, but I don’t know if there is anything of value in that place or just a place of death.
But they should do something because if those things are alive or dead but can walk, they could go out and expand whatever is causing their peculiar situation. “
Alfons sighed and went to his radio where, once he arrived, he began to speak.
“Here the Unterfeldwebel Alfons, I have updated information on the situation of this place, it seems that it is a kind of temple built on an abandoned dwarf city.
The problem is that in that city there are hundreds of thousands of dead creatures that seek to feed; I ask permission and resources to re-block that city.
The last thing we want is that a potential weapon can be released. A security zone must also be established around this place to prevent things from that place from leaving.
It is better to have a permanent guard to avoid misfortunes. “
“Unterfeldwebel Alfons, we agree with your proposal. You are given the power to start a cleanup of that whole place.
Until I find the origin of the dead, to be able to create a sealing point while the resources arrive at the place to be able to block that area. “
Alfons just smiled and looked at his soldiers. “Gentlemen, we have a catacomb to clean. We have to find the entrance to that city and block the entire place.
Well, when the reinforcements arrive, the sealing process of that area will begin. We are not going to enter the city of the dead.
We will just wait for the people in charge of closing the place to arrive. “
All the soldiers prepared their weapons and began to walk towards the entrance where they had arrived because the path to the right was the one that would take them to that city.
As they walked down the corridor, all the soldiers were nervous because they did not know what kind of enemies they were going to meet on the way.
Passing the last checkpoint the reinforcements had established, they entered the unknown.
Alfons, who was somewhat nervous, advanced until he reached a corridor in which they could see a group of dozens of elves with blood in their mouths.
Without thinking twice, they started shooting at the elves, who started running towards them like beasts.
Fortunately, they died quickly, so the soldiers with flamethrowers approached their corpses and began to burn them.
“Soldiers, shoot any enemy and do not allow them to get close to you. That group of elves was infected by the same as the mummies.
So if you see them open fire immediately, we can’t risk fighting creatures that are dangerous. “
After this, they all began to advance through the place and killed many elves and mummies that were in it.
After advancing through the gigantic corridor, they came to an area where there were stairs to go down.
Alfons, who was going down the stairs with his soldiers, was surprised to get to the bottom of the stairs because they could see a gigantic stone door that was open.
The hole was so big that about 50 people could pass without problems, so Alfons gave the order that the defensive zones be prepared.
Well, they would have to resist any kind of attack to be able to close that gigantic hole.
While his soldiers were preparing, Alfons went to his radio.
“Here the Unterfeldwebel Alfons, we found the gap in the place. It is about some stone doors that are broken.
It will take a lot of steel and maybe black stone, as we don’t know if there are wizards or someone doing damage in this place. “
