More than a thousand high-level undead changed their direction and walked quietly outside the city. The soldiers on the city wall raised their bows and arrows and aimed at the undead that were still out of range. The mages were also there. Paying close attention to every move of the undead, each mage has taken out all the magic items from the bottom of the box. However, the appearance of high-level necromancers, even corpse witches and demilichs among the undead has put every mage under great pressure. . +◆，
However, while the people in the city were praying nervously, all the undead souls bypassed the city and continued to slowly move north, eventually disappearing completely from people's sight.
As the undead left, the black fog gradually dissipated, and the soldiers who had been in high tension finally succumbed. Judging from the difference in strength just now, everyone knew that if the undead launched an attack, the entire city would probably not be able to defend itself for 24 hours.
"They left..." the staff officer said in disbelief as he looked at the undead gradually moving away.
"Yes! But why? Are these undead just passing by here!"
Lord Feilun is also observing on the city wall. Although the undead have left, the soldiers and civilians concentrated in the city are still frightened. No one is sure whether these undead have really left or are just a ruse. So far, Feilun is still He dared not order the city gate to be opened. In this way, under the panic all night until the sun rose the next day, Feluen ordered a light cavalry to go out to detect. After confirming that there was indeed no undead within a radius of ten kilometers, the city gate was slowly opened.
Merchants and travelers in the Kyanite territory took this opportunity to escape from this land passed by the undead. You must know that the undead army in the west of the continent brutally and mercilessly slaughtered a city and the supporting king. It was not easy for them to escape in the Holy Capital. With the coordination of the people, the undead were finally driven out. There are still many undead wandering throughout the Western Continent, hunting lone travelers and caravans. Up to now, the western part of the continent is still under martial law, and all the kings are hunting and exterminating these undead.
Who can guarantee that these undead will not come back? Under the threat of death, greedy businessmen dare not stay in the kyanite territory for a long time.
The news that the undead had left the kyanite territory was quickly reported to the royal capital. The Saxon royal family, which had already started preparing to mobilize the army, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The invasion of the undead was no small matter. The Saxon kingdom had conveyed the news to the Holy Capital, the Holy See and surrounding countries as quickly as possible. After learning the news, the Holy See immediately dispatched a cardinal to the Kyanite Territory to check the situation, and the Holy City passed the news back to the west as quickly as possible, because judging from the unusual traveling route of the undead, , obviously these undead appearing in the kyanite territory intend to join the undead army in the west of the mainland! !
The saints who presided over the resistance against the undead army knew one thing. On the surface, the undead army seemed to have been repelled by the coalition forces in the western part of the continent, but in fact it was not so much a repulsion as it was an active retreat of the undead army to re-acquire strength. These days, the undead army in the west of the continent has been growing rapidly in both quantity and quality. From the initial appearance of most low-level undead such as zombies, skeletons, ghosts, etc., to now there have been what appear to be dark knights, but in comparison There is a more powerful death knight, who has the memory and experience of the living but his soul is completely twisted to obey the mysterious ruler behind the undead army. But fortunately, there are not many sighting reports of death knights. It seems that the undead army does not have many such powerful undead. But this time, if more than a thousand high-level undead join the undead army, whose number is estimated to have expanded to about 500,000, it will be an unimaginable disaster for the western part of the continent!
The undead army has returned to the vast forest. The countries in the western part of the continent, under the leadership of the Holy Capital, are busy encircling and suppressing the undead who are harassing and fighting. However, the killing and destruction of the undead army has generated a lot of negative emotions and accumulated The power of the abyss. The devil took this opportunity to try to counterattack again. Although everything was still under the control of the Holy City, this vicious cycle was also worrying.
Fortunately, the God of Earth has given an oracle. Although the ruler behind the army of the undead has some strange power that can interfere with the God of Earth's consciousness, it cannot prevent the God of Earth from discovering those who have been corrupted by the breath of death. The land is located in a swamp in the forest where is the lair of the undead army. The Holy City is already coordinating various countries to gather forces to prepare for a launch to completely destroy the lair of the undead army and end this disaster!
But the current situation is very critical. Will these new undead join the undead army first or the Holy City will destroy the undead army first. Both sides are racing against time.
Inside Ulduar City┉┉
Yalin also received the news about the Kingdom of Saxony from Didier immediately. When he learned that many undead appeared in the Kingdom of Saxony. The first thing that popped into Yalin's mind was when did the Scourge of Lich King Arthas go to the Kingdom of Saxony? However, after contacting Alsace, I discovered that the Scourge Legion was still resting. Except for routine harassment battles in the western part of the continent, the Scourge Legion had not been dispatched to other areas.
Since it is not the Scourge of Alsace, the only ones in the world who can form so many undead are the 'blasphemers' on the Island of the Dead in Aesolos!
It’s just that Yalin has some understanding of the undead on the Island of the Dead in Aesolos. Rather than saying that they are warriors and careerists, these undead are a group of crazy researchers who are a little bit arrogant. They worship death, fear death, and even try to understand what death is! For thousands of years, except for the occasional trips to the mainland in search of experimental 'materials', the undead on Esolos Island have stayed quietly on the island, living their lives without leaving home and quietly conducting their own research.
No matter how great your obsession was when you were alive, if you become an undead, no matter what kind of desires will fade away under the passing of endless time, love, hatred, revenge, whatever is unforgettable memory will also be worn away with time. Until in the end, without the support of hope, even the most powerful lich will slowly disintegrate and disappear from the world.
The undead do not need money, are not keen on rights, and have no interest in destroying the world. Even some mages who are employed by certain countries to practice necromancy will one day give up their illusory status and rights under the catalysis of time. Join the Isle of the Dead on Esolos. Just like elephants and dragons returning to their tribe's tomb at the last moment of death. In the eyes of the world, the Island of the Undead in Aesolos is the nest of evil undead creatures and the birthplace of all death and evil. But in Yalin's view, this island is more like a huge shelter for those who have lost hope and hope. The target's lost undead allow them to quietly return to death in their final moments.
It is precisely because he understands the true meaning of the Island of the Dead in Esolos that Yalin understands that these local true undead have no intention of ruling the world or destroying the world. They cannot migrate to the mainland on a large scale for no reason. The only possibility is It’s the Star Child!
The Star Children have the ability to transcend death and are the only beings who can truly resurrect the dead. Even if the souls of the deceased have returned to the Sea of Souls, the Star Children can still summon these souls again even when gods and demons are helpless. Returning to the main material plane, Tiffany, the former first child of the stars, demonstrated this miracle beyond miracles in front of the White Dragon King! And it is precisely because of this miracle that today's Aisolos Island of the Dead was born┉┉
Of course, Yalin has nothing to do with these undead now. Considering the arrival of the Star Son, I believe that these undead must also be heading for the Star Son. For them who are exploring the truth of death, no one can understand the sea of souls better than the Star Son. It's a mystery. But Yalin still has a question. There are so many high-level undead and the route to the west of the continent is obviously purposeful. Otherwise, the undead should first explore the news about the Star Children in the east before swarming towards them. Moving forward to the west, how did the undead know that the Star Children had arrived in the western part of the continent? It was only by relying on the relics of the first Star Child that I determined the approximate location of the Star Child!
If these undead really determined the location of the Star Children through some method, then the Saints and others sent to the west might ┉┉
Yalin looked at the map where the undead last appeared and the route they were taking, and as he traced the route, a second possibility popped up in Yalin's mind.
Lich King Arthas and his Scourge!
That’s right! What Arthas did in the western part of the continent during this period has spread throughout the continent. In addition to sending Templar knights and priests and mobilizing the regular army of the secular kingdom, the Holy City also sent a message for help to the dragon coalition behind it. Judging from the news fed back by Alsace, several extremely powerful warriors and mages appeared on the battlefield. Usually, one person can sweep away a large group of undead troops. And according to the information sent back by the scouts, a giant dragon streaking across the sky was even found in the forest outside the swamp. Judging from the color, it should be the Blue Dragon clan that is best at magic!
The unfathomable strength of the Scourge Legion must still attract the attention of the undead on the Isle of the Dead in Esolos. Meeting a mysterious undead leader who can build an army must also be on the itinerary of these undead. In this way, If so, the situation might be a little lively.
Yalin now wants Arthas to include the undead on Aisolos Island into the Scourge, but Yalin estimates that it is unlikely. After all, for the undead on Aisolos Island of the Dead, looking for the Star Children is far more important than searching for the Star Children. It's important to join an unknown undead team and become enemies of half the continent. Moreover, there are more than a thousand high-level undead and even death lords and demilichs. Even the Scourge of Arthas wants to eat them in one go. You have to pay a high price, and in the end you will only lose more than you gain!
After thinking for a long time, Yalin thought it was necessary to talk to Alsace about this matter first! (To be continued...)
