"Stupid! Rick, you are so stupid!"

Facing the disaffected young knight in front of him, Joberdin was so angry that he almost wanted to pull out his sword and stab him to death!

Especially when this young knight named Rick is still stiff-necked and has no intention of repentance.

Seriously, if it wasn't for this kid, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar and the grandson of Paladin Richard, Jobdine would have tied him up immediately and sent him to the Schindlers to wait for his punishment. up.

Next to it, St. John, the chief judge, also said: "Rick, what you did was really wrong in this matter. Why did you do this kind of thing? Why did you provoke those undead?"

A young paladin with blond hair and a heroic face said angrily: "I've had enough of accusations! I'm fighting for the Holy Light. I can't tolerate those filthy undead creatures appearing in front of me, but I can only be ashamed." Run away and let them wreak havoc on the land of God. The king of the Schindlers controlled the undead with evil spells. What is the difference between him and the Church of Curse? You are my elders, and your teachings The understanding should be deeper than mine, but I am ashamed of your cowardly behavior! There will inevitably be a battle between us and those filthy undead, and this battle should be sooner rather than later! This is for the will of God the Father!"

The unrepentant Rick made Joberdin very angry.

He had already given up trying to reason with this kid—what's more, reasoning was useless. The high lord waved his hand, motioning for the guards to come up.

Rick didn't struggle.

It is true that although his strength is good, since he was very young, his head has been staring at the title of genius knight, and he has already possessed the strength of a sixteenth-level great knight at a young age. Although there is still a certain distance from the legend, he is already It is a rising bright star, and in time, it will surely become the pillar of the empire.

However, when the two legendary powerhouses Joberdin and John were in front of him, he had no hope of breaking free anyway, so there was no need to make such an impossible attempt.

However, before being dragged down by the guards, he still held his head high.

After Rick was dragged away, the anger on Joberdine's face hadn't subsided. He clutched his forehead and complained: "This uneasy child... How did the Schindlers react to this matter?"

"I have not received any news in this regard for the time being, and the Schindlers have not contacted us."

"This may be considered a good thing." Joberding said, but he didn't even believe it himself.

John snorted coldly, and said: "But, don't forget, His Majesty Dane is said to be a person with a bursting personality and difficult to deal with. Do you think he will have no reaction to this matter?"

"Six hundred undead, shouldn't it be nothing?"

"But it's a very good excuse for others." The chief judge's face was cold.

Jobardine fell silent.

"Great Lord!" A guard's voice sounded from outside the tent.

"Come in."

A dusty warrior walked in from the outside, and said with horror on his face: "We have detected that the undead stationed in the north of the Silver City have moved. They... seem to be coming towards us!"

Joberdine pretended to be calm and asked, "About how many undead spirits are coming to us?"

"They... all out."

Not only Joberding, but even the chief judge next to him couldn't hold back the expression on his face when he heard the words 'move out'.

"What does Dane want to do!" Joberding shouted angrily.

"Obviously, he has malice towards us. And if he thinks about the worst, he may even take this opportunity to directly cross the border of the empire."

Joberding stood up, and he said: "Let the army set out immediately and advance to Changlu County. At the same time, tell His Majesty what happened here, the Holy See must be prepared to deal with this disaster. In addition, John, I Old chap, we've got to write to Dane and see if there's any way to sort things out."

"it is good."

In the end, Joberdine did not connect to the communication magic with Dane. The news from the Schindler people clearly informed Joberdin that His Majesty Dane was very angry at the treachery of the Holy Empire and had no intention of talking to him. There must be a price to pay for this.

Job Ding had no choice but to lead his own army and withdraw to Changlu County as soon as possible.

The movement speed of the undead army was not fast. Two hundred thousand undead were walking mightily on the ground, and there was no way to catch up with the fleeing Holy See army.

I didn't want to chase either.

The undead army from the dark jungle moved towards Changlu County step by step at an inherent speed, without any hurry.

In mid-April, the army of undead led by Arantier had already entered Changlu County.

In a blink of an eye, all the land outside the county town was completely occupied by the attack of the undead army.

In fact, in these places, the army of the Holy Empire did not pay too much attention to defense. They knew that it was impossible to hold it no matter what.

Even Joberding is already planning whether to give up the county seat of Changlu County.

But before that, what to do depends on the last communication with His Majesty Dane.

This time, Dane intends to accept the negotiation application from the Holy Empire. After all, according to the Holy Empire, His Majesty the Pope will personally communicate with Dane through communication spells this time, and this face should be given anyway.

Of course they didn't want to continue the war, and Dane reckoned that they were definitely going to give up their blood and exchange it for the Hindlers.

Dane is going to see how much the Holy Empire is willing to pay and where the bottom line is.

Communication spells, in the hands of the mages, quickly unfolded in front of Dane. An old man with a long white beard and a gorgeous robe with a body made of gold and white appeared in front of Dane.

This person should be His Majesty the Pope of the Holy Empire himself. "

"Good day, Your Majesty Dane."

"Good day, His Majesty the Pope."

Regardless of what the two of them were thinking, at least greeting each other was considered polite for the time being.

Without talking too much about some boring places, Dane and the Pope quickly got to the point.

On the topic of how the war is going to be fought.

Dane opened fire first: "The Holy Empire must pay enough for the previous attack on our army!"
