"The promised ruins exploration has become a crush? Why did it suddenly turn into a war drama? Why did the promised leisurely daily vacation turn into a troublesome business?"
"… stare!"
"Don't look at me like that, it's not me! I swear I didn't do anything this time, and I definitely didn't invite it! I'm not a broom star either! I didn't plan any conspiracy."
My family is not the only one who has a secret whistle. At this time, everyone's eyes are fixed on the mountain road gorge, and everyone will know about any movement there.
"The undead are here! There is a battle at the mouth of the gorge!"
"In the sky, there are bone dragons in the sky! There are also gargoyles, the forwards of the undead army!"
At the next moment, the spies of all parties reported together, and when the war was just around the corner, everyone was stunned when they looked at the corpse of His Royal Highness Link in the middle of the room. Perhaps it was more appropriate to describe it as embarrassed.
"What is the Royal Regiment doing?"
Saliman, the main messenger of Marquis Tariq, who planned the conspiracy, was stunned. Even if she colluded with Wandy, as a living force, her goal was only the treasures under the ruins, the undead natural disasters, etc., as a living person ,just forget it.
"… Ruins? What about ruins?"
The khan knight who had just rebelled and killed himself in Xinjunshan was also stunned. He started his career by betrayal, and there was no loyalty from the beginning. Now he finally got rid of the "malicious prince" who threatened "his own treasure", but listened to him. Reaching such news is equivalent to completely cutting off his road to rise. Simply a bolt from the blue.
"As expected of Luo... Brother Carlo, following you will never be boring."
Only Timurette was very excited and seemed to be satisfied with such a daily life, but I glared at him, this time it was really not my fault, I didn't have time to do anything, no, I really didn't plan to do anything!
When the horn of war was blown, the highest rank in this small town was the second son of the Grand Duke, Link, who was a member of the royal family, but at this time he had turned into a cold corpse, and the murderer was the only lord of this territory. The direct legion of the royal family is the strongest legion in this territory. The legion directly under the royal family will fight to the death according to the order of the royal family. In the face of the murderer who kills the king, even if there is a public enemy of the living outside the undead legion, the life Distrust and even blood fighting within the people is inevitable.
Shaliman and I both cast our eyes on Brightman. If this is really a conspiracy, I am afraid that only the undead and the dead will benefit, but Brightman stood up nervously and waved his hands.
"This... This is not what we did, we didn't know it at all, it was what we did, and we evacuated long ago!"
"Clap!"
"Us? Who are you talking about?"
"Brightman, make it clear!"
In the midst of the chaos, I took a deep breath, lay down on the chair, and put my feet on the table. The dust from my boots kept the people around me away.
What else is there to talk about, this time the pit was miserable enough, and it was the pit that I jumped into on my own initiative, and it was none of my business.
I don't think Brightman is lying, at least the goal of the Ten Thousand Deaths is to enter the ruins with sacrifices to open the door to the plane of death. They paid a lot for this, and the sacrifices did not reach the door. Open, most likely there are other changes.
"… the soul in the Tower of Babel."
Timiret's words made me realize that the flesh and blood in the sacrificial ceremony and the ritual process are not actually the subject. Those souls who died in pain and hatred are the essence of the sacrifice and the energy that opens the door of the dimension. If the ruins are the Tower of Babel, they already have enough souls.
The rest of the speculation is simpler, either the believers who stayed in the Ruins Ten Thousand Deaths have opened the door to the plane of death, or the ruins themselves have changed.
"The size of the undead army?"
Now that this is the case, there is no point in arguing about the reasons. How to deal with it is the most important thing at the moment.
"...I can't see the frontier at a glance, at least 50,000 or more, the union of five or six lords, or there is an undead boss with an epic or more. By the way, there are some existences among the undead that I can't understand. If it wasn't for these three A century-old new breed is a lot of fun.”
"New breed? Be more specific."
The undead that can make the dracolich incomprehensible? This directly caught my interest.
"... Those undeads have some strange metal parts on their bodies, it's like putting the undead together. Their fighting ability is not known for the time being, but the fire of the soul is incredible, it's like a hundred times the accumulation of ordinary souls. Yes. You also know that for the undead, the soul is the root. By the way, their emotional fluctuations are very violent, just like living people!"
Needless to say the rest of the words, the ruins must have changed, this thing sounds like a half-constructed creature, half an undead creature, maybe it is a new species, this is a lot of fun.
"Timiret, how many souls are there in the Tower of Babel?"
"How many? The dead of the entire civilization were loaded into seven towers. If that relic is also the Tower of Babel, there should be no less. Well, if it is really a civilization revival plan as you said, then millions of souls are At the very least, we could have taken out 10 million at the time. If I were to plan the civilization revival plan, it would be possible to invest 20 million."
Well, I have the urge to nod and thump the ground. If there are tens of millions of pure souls needed for soul sacrifice to open the gate of the plane, any kind of undead can come here. It seems that I have to do a good job of facing the undead emperor. mentally prepared.
"Heng?"
Afterwards, I also checked some information. If it wasn’t because the undead emperor was too low-key, or my information was out of date, but the undead emperor is definitely not easy to deal with. The undead natural disaster with the undead emperor and the one without the emperor are completely two concepts. The latter In the fierceness, that is, a local battlefield, and the former may have national-level overturning and destruction at any time, any undead emperor is very good at destroying the world and spreading death.
"I propose that Ms. Shaliman be the temporary garrison general! Lead us through this difficult time."
"Seconded!"
"I have no opinion!"
The scouts have been handing over the information continuously, and none of the people here are fools. It is extremely stupid to fight for power and profit at this time. It is natural that the "Blood Spear" with experience in leading the army was elected as the temporary leader.
"…Can we retreat?"
As soon as the size of the undead army came out, some people were shaken, but no one at the table spoke up. This is not because they have any sense of racial honor, but in this plain area, they may not really be able to escape, and this place is originally The only way to the ruins, after losing this level, you will die faster.
Want to escape? Yes, let a strong person guard here, try to delay the time, and others can take the opportunity to escape.
But if it involves the war between the living and the dead, the deserter's reputation in this life is finished, and even if the enemy is currently thinking about a retreat, such words cannot be said.
"Then, I will serve as the temporary commander. Since you let me take the lead, I'm going to talk about it in front of you. Now this situation is not just the civil war in Sasha. Since the dawn of the era, the country that has been destroyed by the undead natural disaster is no longer the same. Two, even if you can run, how far can you run? If you plan to run away at this time, don't let me see it, or you will be killed."
The undisguised killing intent in the one-eyed eye is the look in the eyes that yearns to see blood, and the declaration of killing is definitely not just talk.
"Since I am the head, then I will only say three points. First, Link was killed by that idiot. He was a spy of the undead, and it has nothing to do with everyone here."
The words had just been thrown out, but the others were immediately relieved. As long as this was qualitative, many things would be easy to explain.
"Uh... stinky girls, you betrayed..."
Kahn was stunned for a moment, and before he had time to say anything, the dagger behind him directly attacked the vest. Even a quasi-legendary knight was assassinated by the top assassin of the big man, and it was too late to make any response.
Just as he was about to resist, his knees went numb, and then he half-knelt down.
"Bastard! You cross the river and demolish the bridge!"
But when he scolded and wanted to stand up, two legendary assassins controlled his arms, and suddenly, a silver light flashed.
It was a short silver arrow that came from nowhere, but it pierced his throat directly, swallowing all his last words.
"impossible… !"
Kahn's eyes were at a loss for a while. He couldn't believe that his mission to revive his family had not yet begun, but his life had come to an end.
At this moment, Kahn, who was full of surprise and disbelief, covered the short arrow at his throat, but he finally saw the black figure on the beam outside the window. The dark ranger was laughing wildly at this side. Generally, the burning hatred is more, but it is the joy and fanaticism of the great vengeance.
The glory and status that came from betrayal also ended because of betrayal, and many plans and ambitions all came to nothing.
"Sink..."
That was the last person he saw with his eyes open. The betrayal died of betrayal, and the Avengers got what they wanted. While my soul link was further recognized by Zink's contract, the eyes of the people around me were always the same. More and not less defense.
"I said it was just an accident, do you believe it?"
Well, they all know that Zink is my man. Maybe, in their opinion, Tiana has been patrolling the window, but she is opening the window to prepare for the ambush shooter. As for who is ready to deal with, At least it wasn't this person before.
At this time, when there is no need to force the shot, it is to show strength and plan to do something. Perhaps, it is to forcibly seize power.
The power of brain supplementation is infinite, and they definitely don't believe my truth, but at this time, I said it directly to Shaliman.
"Actually, I'm just on vacation, don't mind me... Cough, well, I have no problem with the leadership of Your Excellency Bloodspear, please continue to arrange it, time is precious."
She glanced at it, but didn't say much, and she also knew that this was not the time for extravagance.
"The second part is that the situation is not as bad as everyone thinks. Within a week, the reinforcements of the royal family will arrive here. The person who asks for help is Link. They brought the royal mages, knights, and great engineers, originally to strengthen this place. Blockade, or simply build a fortress, we didn't expect that group of reinforcements to become our reinforcements."
Many eyes turned to the corpse in the center of the floor. I didn't expect this guy to do a good thing before he died.
"The last one?"
Shaliman's one eye was full of naked murderous intent, and he looked around.
"We don't have time to finish with the traitors slowly, and remove the unstable factors in the city, those damn cultists of the Society of Death! They may open the city gates at any time!"
"Haha, that's really good, ummm... Huh? Tiana, what are you pushing me for? Why is everyone looking at me?"
I just wanted to speak loudly and ease my nervousness, but when I looked down, I realized that I was wearing a black robe here, and the necromancer status that I had always declared seemed to be a big trouble.
"Wait a minute, isn't this plot wrong! I'm not from the Society of Death!"
"He is, he is the disciple of the legendary lich, and the high-level backbone of the Ten Thousand Deaths Association! I have evidence here!"
The heart-piercing shout came from Brad, the undead natural disaster doesn't matter if you are a member of the Ten Thousand Deaths, the arms dealer has scared half of his soul, and the so-called evidence is the note written in Ryder's ancient text.
"I X, can you please stop cheating on me like this!"
