No one would have expected that so many things would happen in the spring of the new year after the orc war in the north just ended, and the successive events that followed were destined to change the situation of the world in a long-term and effective manner.
When did these changes start? Is it when the sudden undead emperor Esso sacrificed everything so that the invasion of the dead will no longer be hindered
Did Amyra accidentally come to Victoria Harbour and create the wood spirit clan by accident
Or was it when Roland and Ayer, who came here, joined the gods and made a declaration that shocked the world
At the moment, I am afraid that no one can predict such a distant future. The most important thing at the moment is the six black beams of light in the distant heaven emitting a light that attracts souls. When Esso used his life to open the door to the planes, countless dead people. Silently walked out of the gate, the most terrifying undead natural disaster has come.
Outside the gate of light, the pitch-black battle flag fluttered in the wind, the skeleton horses were knights in black robes, the corpse witches clinging to the bone staff swarmed in groups, the skeleton mages swarmed into the sea, and hundreds of liches floated in. The proportion and scale of the casters far exceeded the normal undead army.
They are not in a hurry at all, they are just reorganizing the troops that have arrived.
The undead can no longer see the border. The elites accumulated over thousands of years in the six planes will continue to come, and new supporters will come one after another. Countless high-level undead that I recognize and do not recognize have entered, and many large However, the power of the giant beast is astonishing, and the mere action can bring about an earthquake.
"Looks like I can't beat it..."
Although the strength of our side is definitely not low, two warships plus wood spirits and dozens of dragons are enough to conquer a small country, but facing this endless stream of high-level undead, there is still no chance of victory.
"If my crimson hound is here, if I can use 'Defende that never falls', the result must be..."
"I still can't beat it. Look at the number of Liches! That's a fully organized war group! No matter how powerful your Crimson Hound is, you are still a legion. The opposite is the undead empire level, or the Six Nations. Unless you take out the Eternal Night Legion in its heyday. , maybe there is a fight. No, because there are too many factions within the Eternal Night Legion, the opponent’s integration is much higher, there are so many lich as dogs, and epics are walking all over the place, and most of them can’t be beaten in the end.”
Well, the dead cat has indeed engraved the spit into its instincts, but everyone present knew that she was right, and the opponent's strength was far beyond expectations.
When the ancient kingdom of the dead is revived, when they choose to return to the main plane, such an opponent can no longer be handled by a single person or a legion. Its opponent must be the entire world.
But... I'm staring!
"Look at what I'm doing, the incarnation of a true god can only achieve a demigod-level contribution on the main plane. You don't know what? What a demigod can do on this occasion."
Although I don't know why Ayer sent the clone here, the scroll on his waist is obviously not a mortal thing, maybe it can change the situation of the battle, and...
"A demigod? A demigod can defeat the powerful Storm Lady with one blow? You lied to a ghost!"
Well, although no one dared to say these words, the expressions of everyone who came with him obviously put their suspicious expressions on their faces.
"Cough, this is the basic rule of the plane, and I also have to abide by it. Xiao An Qi was not defeated by me, but I was scared away by me."
This big guy is willing to explain it is very face, what more can he say.
But in my eyes, it seems that Ayer's expression was a little wrong when he was here.
He looked at the place where Esso finally disappeared. There was the last skull left by the Undead Emperor on the ground. Ayer's expression was very complicated. Neither did.
And if other people estimate that he is troubled by the undead natural disaster, but I just got Esso's memory, but I know that the original knowledge of undead magic of the black will is inexplicable. According to legend, it was either given by the devil or a true god. Yes, and if it is the latter, I am afraid that I am thinking with my knees, and only the big guy in front of me can do it.
I was going to say something, but Ayer seemed to see through everything, just shook his head slightly, and then patted his palm lightly.
Then…
We were in a familiar forest, surrounded by towering giant trees, and in just an instant, Ayer teleported us back to the Forest of Dreams.
There was only the slight sound of the light wind blowing the leaves around, and the sound of the stream flowing not far away, but the undead outside the forest, the hustle and bustle in the distance seemed to be in another world.
"Take it."
He took what Ayer threw, but it was half a skull, which was the only remnant of Esso in time.
"Since he gave you the inheritance. You should also dispose of this, deal with it a little, at least it is a sub-artifact. According to that kid's always unwilling to be lonely, he is most afraid of being forgotten, so let him change his way. Keep your reputation."
At this point, I am afraid everyone knows that the god of death in front of him has something to do with those undead, and Ayer himself has no intention of hiding at all, just said slowly.
"Actually, Roland, I know he will definitely choose you. After all, you and his temperament are too similar. Don't be in a hurry to refute me, my words are well-founded. You usually have a casual personality. It's exactly the same thing, or if you're at the limit, you'll go crazy right away. Let me ask the same question, if you were in his position, would you choose to be as crazy as him and make the same choice?"
"Of course I wouldn't...?"
Well, I have to admit, if I were really in his situation, I'd probably be even more insane.
"… More importantly, you both look realistic, but in fact you are both idealists who believe in dreams, but you have the power to turn other people's unbelievable dreams into reality. You think he will not know that you are in Everything the North has done? He has recognized you, and since he chose you in the end, please accept his gift well."
I nodded silently and put away the half-skull that had been turned into a mercury-like material, but the more precious legacy was already in my mind, and no one could steal it.
Looking back now, I am a little scared.
After all, in a sense, if I hadn’t taken the initiative to provoke Ayer, hadn’t stepped on the brakes, and had really succeeded in establishing the kingdom of the dead, I’m afraid my end would have been similar to Esso.
"But what about the undead outside?"
Although I don't know who the young man who seems to be very powerful in front of me is, and I don't understand why the atmosphere suddenly became so dull, when everyone else was eerily silent, little Rosa only cared about whether her homeland would still be threatened. .
"Undead? Does it have anything to do with you? Can you stop it? Are the little guys going to fight those guys?"
Looking at the little guy in front of him, Ayer is very interested. After all, after so many years, Ashe has rarely added a new species, and the world has become more lively.
"Of course it matters, if they attack the forest with forbidden spells again..."
Well, little Rosa blushed immediately. She got the knowledge and inheritance from Amyra, and after a little extrapolation, she knew that this question was unnecessary.
Due to the lack of elemental tides, if you do not want to repeat the mistakes of Esso, the undead emperors will not be able to come for a long time.
In today's army of undead, even if there are top magic masters who can cast forbidden spells, without the level of Esso, they can't threaten the forest of dreams that is close to the master of the plane, and the most important thing is...
"Undead, there is no need to attack the Dream Forest anymore..."
Yes, there is no need for the two sides to continue the war. Before, the army of undead had to lay down the Forest of Dreams no matter what, in order to get rid of the stone linked to the main plane of the card, so that the link between this and the plane of desecration would be opened, and the army of undead had to be opened. Success comes.
And now, let alone desecrate the plane, the dimensional links of the six death planes have been established, and the invasion channel of the undead is still unimpeded, why do they still have to lay down this dream forest? , obviously not by the wise.
If I were the commander of the undead, for example, I would simply ignore this iron tortoise covered in thorns, and it would not be enough to accomplish my next strategic goal.
Isn't it a port area that has become a dead port? The hinterland of the Bayer Empire is so vast and there are so many areas for it to choose from, it can completely ignore this one.
At this point, I, who got some of Esso's memories, can almost understand their strategic goals.
Without him, I just hope to regain glory and rebuild the Tucker Republic, but only the kingdom of the dead is not enough. Even if there is no foreign enemy, a country without new blood will decay and age rapidly.
"Tears of Casoran? Could it be that the technology that converts the living 100% into intelligent undead is still there? That accumulated toxin is the introduction to the medicine? Damn it, Esso's memory becomes a matter of the layout of the undead. Incomplete and even blank. Senior, you are really thoughtful!"
But since there is no ready-made answer, it is not difficult to guess the next goal of the undead.
I am afraid that the undead emperors have regarded the people of the Bayer Empire as their future citizens. Their goal is only one, to form a new blood-making mechanism, to make the ancient republic re-enter the stage of history, and to allow their citizens to enjoy other races. Just like the right to live in the sun.
And once it is realized, it is possible to take revenge on elves, dragons, or simply to crusade the gods. It is completely different from Ciro, who is relatively loose and does not fight infighting. The interior of this republic is more united. , their odds of winning will not be low.
Then, since they want to compete for living space and production materials, they will inevitably conflict with the surrounding countries. At this time, the most fundamental conflict of interests must not be avoided.
But at this time, at least I can't figure out how to get the big nobles and fief aristocrats in Bayer to give up their resistance and become undead. In the end, war and infighting are inevitable. Suddenly, my task of "Double Dragons Entanglement" has become The mission of "Three Snakes Killing" is clear.
When only the Bayer Empire and the Kingdom of Mage compete, it is naturally the "Double Dragon", and when the Republic of the Undead is added to it, I am afraid it will naturally become the "Three Snakes", and we must make our own choices and efforts. .
After thinking for a while, the final conclusion is the same as before. Although some sympathize with the Republic of the Undead, but now they have become invaders of this plane. It is impossible to help them, and the ultimate goal of their efforts will inevitably lead to The anxiety and fear of the gods, that is a road that has been proven by history to be doomed to failure, how can I go again.
But waiting for the undead to make a decision passively is obviously extremely disturbing.
"Roland, do you still remember the report you gave me? I discussed it with everyone, and I think it's feasible. Don't you think that right now is an opportunity to do an experiment? As long as the plan goes well, at least the wood spirits can be safe. , Just because of their location, they seem to be destined to face war for a long time, and you should not interfere too much and affect the future potential of this race."
When I mentioned that plan, I was also shocked. The plan involved was huge, and it would touch the interests of countless people and even true gods. I was also joking at the time. I didn't expect Ayer and the others to be so courageous.
"Then, what should we do?"
Smiling, Ayer's avatar did not answer, but gently tore open the first scroll in his hand. The signature on the back belonged to the God of Fate.
"Sign it and sign it, then read it with me, and we declare..."
