The Kyanite Territory, just like the name of the territory, is rich in kyanite minerals and has always been an important source of finance for the Kingdom of Saxony. ∑, but today, the originally prosperous trading houses and mining areas were silent, and people from the entire territory were concentrated in the central city of the territory, relying on the city walls to prepare nervously for war.
Undead! Thousands of undead!
These dead people who were supposed to be sleeping underground actually appeared on the road in broad daylight accompanied by an ominous fog. To ordinary people, it was like a nightmare scene coming true.
In the mine located in the northwest of the territory, after a day of work, the miners left the mine and went to the nearby well to wash their dusty bodies. Foreman Ledo is calculating the amount of digging for each person in the cabin and preparing to pay one day's wages. Recently, the situation in the country has stabilized a little, and there are a lot more territorial residents returning from the front line. In addition, the price of kyanite on the market Everyone's life has become slightly better during the rise.
Ledo nodded at the money in his hand and put it into his small pocket. Today's output was pretty good. After screening and weighing, there were more than 20 top-quality kyanites, and the remaining fragments weighed about 400 kilograms. According to this The output and the wages of these workers today should be ┉┉
Suddenly, while Ledo was still counting his wages, there was a sudden noise outside the house, which quickly turned into shrill exclamations.
"Really~ Is there someone fighting again?" Ledo muttered and put down the money in his hand.
Martial arts prevailed among the people of the Kingdom of Saxony, and fights among these vigorous workers were common. However, because the previous conflicts were serious, they have now been strictly prohibited by the lords, and those who fight will be severely punished. Things had gotten a lot better after the ban was promulgated. Why did it happen again today
Ledo stood up and was about to go out to see the situation. At this time, the mine guard outside the door almost rolled and crawled into the door: "Outside┉┉Outside┉┉Outside┉┉Outside┉┉Yes┉┉Yes┉┉"
"Let's be clear, what happened outside?"
Ledo scolded but suddenly realized that something was wrong. The exclamations outside had become chaotic, almost like a battlefield, and the guard in front of him looked very wrong. His twisted and ferocious look was as if he had seen something incredibly terrifying.
"Undead!! There are many undead coming this way!!" The guard finally shouted at the top of his lungs.
Ledo was stunned and ran out quickly. The noisy scene outside had already explained the problem to him. He quickly climbed up the watchtower. The black mist that was constantly filling the ground not far away spread to all sides. The setting sun is rendered by these fogs as if the end is about to come, and it even makes people feel that once the sun sets, the whole world will usher in a night without dawn.
He picked up the telescope on the observation deck and took a look. Ledo almost peeed out of fright at this sight. Many silent figures in the black mist were slowly moving forward, their expressions seemed to be frozen. , the faces of many undead appear bloodless and pale, or look like withered tree bark, making people feel as if they are just a thin layer of skin wrapped around the skeleton. What is even more terrifying is that many undead are like legends. Like inside, rot reveals the face of the skull. The ribs of the body and arms are exposed, and there are no eyes in the dark eye holes, only the blue soul fire is burning.
The mist continues to spread as the undead advance. Wherever the undead go, the trees quickly wither, and the ground becomes full of stench. These dead who refuse to be approached by life frighten the living not far away!
"Oh my god!!"
Ledo slid down the watchtower, almost rolled over, and desperately rushed back to the cabin where he usually worked. There was a horse in the stable behind the cabin that he used for commuting. However, Ledo didn't curse until he ran to the stable. , his horse had been ridden away by the panicked guard or miner.
The constant approach of the undead made everyone in the mine go crazy. Visual inspection showed that nearly a thousand undead made the less than 100 guards in the mine have no idea of resistance. Everyone was panicking and running away at all costs. Some people ran away frantically toward the central town. Some people fled into the forest, while others turned around and got into the mine. In the middle, the undead could not find themselves in the mine tunnels extending in all directions. Foreman Ledo also ran to the central town desperately. As for the workers abandoned in the wooden house, Ledo had already taken care of them. Not so much anymore.
Looking at the miners fleeing in all directions, the undead just walked forward quietly, and the chaotic scene in front of them seemed to be non-existent air.
In fact, the undead are not hostile to this territory. They were also not very interested in the kyanite that had just been excavated in the mine. It was just that this mine happened to be on their planned route. The undead hoped to pass here harmlessly, but in front of the living people, from the cemetery The 'dead man' who climbed up will never be able to get along with Harmless.
Kyanite's territory received the news immediately. It was already known to the whole world that an army of undead had recently appeared in the west of the continent and was attacking cities and plundering territory. The east has also stepped up its vigilance for this, especially since there have been eyewitness reports of undead landing on the coast. Countries in the eastern part of the mainland have strengthened defenses on their national borders. Even the Holy See has dispatched troops to areas that may be attacked by the undead. Priest and Knight of Light. The Kingdom of Saxony has also received the news, but from the perspective of the Kingdom of Saxony, the undead are still in the far southeast coastal area, which is a hundred and eighty-seven miles away from the extreme north. Even if the undead intends to fully invade those coastal countries, they must It's better to bear it first.
But now┉┉these undead actually came to the kyanite territory without saying a word. How did they arrive? Why was there no warning issued at all in the previous territory, and no news came from the capital? These undead seemed to appear suddenly out of thin air!
The lord of the Kyanite Territory, Feilun, had neither the mood nor the time to blame the royal capital's intelligence department for their mistakes. After sending out scouts to confirm that the undead had appeared correctly, Feilun immediately ordered the entire territory to enter a state of martial law, and other towns in the territory The citizens in the villages and villages were quickly evacuated to adjacent territories, and the citizens who had no time to evacuate were gathered in the central city. The defenders and militia were all mobilized, and the warehouses storing weapons and armor were quickly opened. Not only the militia but also the ordinary citizens of the territory were issued weapons and armor. It was obvious that Feluen was planning to defend the central city of the territory with all its strength.
After observing the approximate number of undead through magic, some mages who had some knowledge of undead magic quickly brought absolute bad news to Lord Feluen. The number of these undead was not large, and it looked like there were more than a thousand at most. Just undead. There are more than 70,000 defenders in the entire territory plus the mobilizable militia troops. On the surface, it seems that our side does have the upper hand in terms of numbers. But these undead souls who entered the kyanite territory are not ordinary undead souls!
There are more than seventy dark knights, and each dark knight's subordinates lead at least thirty dark warriors. The combat power of a dark warrior is enough to deal with seven or eight ordinary soldiers. Coupled with the undead characteristic of the undead, it is no problem to deal with ten soldiers. Not only the Dark Knight Mages even discovered a Death Lord leading the team!
The appearance of the Death Lord almost made the mage responsible for detecting the enemy's situation faint from fear. You must know that the Death Lord is a very powerful high-level undead. If the lich represents the highest level of undead in casting spells and is the researcher and administrator among the undead, then The Death Lord is the highest level of physical attack of the undead and is the commander and general among the undead!
Death lords were usually powerful warriors during their lifetimes. Relying on the endless power of the undead and the characteristic of never getting tired, death lords usually wielded huge weapons weighing hundreds of kilograms, and the armor on their bodies was so thick that even a war hammer weighed 100 pounds. It can't be shaken at all. A Death Lord is a war machine that never tires, in addition to being extremely powerful. The weapons in the hands of the Death Lord are imbued with a powerful curse. The moment you kill a living person, you can absorb and imprison the soul of the living person in your body. The more souls you imprison, the more powerful the Death Lord becomes!
It can be said that as long as this Death Lord is given enough time, he can even wipe out the entire Kyanite Territory bit by bit with one person's power, because no one in the territory can fight with it, even in the territory. Not even a military instructor or a retired captain from Belika Fortress could compete with him.
And among the undead, there are not only death lords, but also a demilich and at least hundreds of necromancers! What is the concept of hundreds of necromancers! Any necromancer can summon many undead creatures, which means that if hundreds of necromancers act at the same time, they can summon nearly 100,000 low-level undead in an instant!
One hundred thousand low-level undead plus nearly a thousand high-level undead, let alone the kyanite territory. Even the strongest Bellica Fortress built by the Kingdom of Saxony in the Forest of Mist may not be able to withstand it!
"Your Excellency, the undead are coming!"
In the lord's mansion, Feluen, who was busy discussing defensive battles with his staff and military attachés, immediately dropped what he was doing after hearing the attendant's report. The lord and military attachés immediately climbed to the highest point of the lord's mansion. Not far away, black mist had spread from the horizon. Dense blue fires shone in the black mist. These soul fires revealed the souls of the dead. The presence.
The workers who were still hastily building city defense facilities dropped their work and quickly fled back into the city amidst the horrified shouts. The city gate was quickly pulled up and then tightly closed. The warning bells kept ringing, and the whole city was filled with excitement. . The old, weak, women and children had all returned home, closed their doors, and prayed for the blessings of the gods. A large number of soldiers and militiamen quickly rushed to the city wall and opened their bows and arrows. Because there were not enough bows and arrows, all the bows, arrows and crossbows in the city were requisitioned, even some very crude hunter bows and arrows. No one objected, no one complained. Some hunters even took the initiative to join the militia and came to the city wall with the soldiers to prepare for a desperate fight.
Because everyone knows that when the undead capture the city, no one will be spared, and there are still relatives and friends in this city. At this moment, everyone has no way out!
"Get ready to fight, everyone!" Feilun looked at the approaching undead army, picked up his helmet, put it on and said to the military attachés on the side.
When everyone picked up the swords and weapons that had been with them for many years, the undead made an unexpected move! (To be continued...)
