In the depths of the Nalun Desert, two hundred kilometers north of the large fortress of Drehem, the Gnolls from the Gray Mane Kingdom and the Lizardmen from the Lizardman Kingdom were treated as coolies and dug the sand there.
Around them, there are only thousands of death knights patrolling constantly, and it is unknown why the millions of gnolls from the Gray Mane Kingdom and lizardmen from the Lizardman Kingdom let these thousands of death knights do their jobs.
However, whenever the death knight patrolled a place, those gnolls and lizardmen looked at the death knight with fear and humbleness in their eyes.
The Kingdom of Graymane and the Kingdom of the Lizardfolk are feuds that have been fought for thousands of years for the lands off the coast of Mannheim. The relationship between the two kingdoms is very bad. In both kingdoms, there is a tradition of using the heads of the people of the other country in exchange for meritorious deeds.
However, in the depths of the Nalun Desert, there was not much friction between the wolf man and the lizard man who were digging the sand next to each other. Their eyes were full of numbness and no hope.
At this moment, even the Kingdom of Gray Mane and the Kingdom of Lizardmen are gone, directly turning into a huge and terrifying death sky, all the wolfmen and lizardmen who did not express their surrender to the death knights at the first time, all died up. The reason why these jackals and lizardmen are still alive is because they chose to become slaves of the death knights.
They were not ordinary slaves, but slaves whose life and death were directly controlled by the death knights. Every death knight patrolling here had contracted hundreds to thousands of wolf man or lizard man slaves. Once a death knight is killed, all the jackal slaves and lizard slaves he contracted with will die instantly.
Therefore, only a few thousand death knights controlled millions of gnolls and lizardmen to death. No wolf man or lizardman dared to resist any death knight.
Millions of Gnolls and Lizardmen dug the sand together, working very fast, and soon an ancient city was dug out. However, what was dug out of this ancient city was only a corner. Although there were a million people, it was nothing compared to the size of a city.
Several death knights gathered together, and they were very excited when they saw a corner of the dug out city.
"The lost city has reappeared in the world. This is the most dazzling city on the entire continent tens of thousands of years ago, a city built by God the Father! The legends in the family are not wrong! The lost city really exists, in Here! Exactly!"
"Yeah, yeah! That's great! According to the legend of the clan, there are amazing treasures buried in the Lost City, and among them are the treasures that can restore us from the undead and become normal creatures with flesh and blood."
"That's right, but to open the lost city, you need a complete sun disc as the key!"
Several death knights looked towards the south together. In the far south, they could vaguely see a huge fortress city standing on the desert.
And above this fortress city, a huge golden disc is like a small sun, constantly absorbing a huge amount of sunlight, blocking all the poisonous and violent sunlight, and at the same time releasing a soft golden radiance, It shines on the entire fortress, so that the entire fortress and the surrounding territory of the fortress, even in the depths of the terrifying Nalun Desert, will not be too exposed to the sun, and the temperature is constant at a maximum of 25 degrees, which is extremely suitable for human survival.
"Sun disc!" Several death knights looked at the golden disc, and there was infinite joy faintly in their voices.
"When our army arrives, take our existing sun disc, and then fuse with the sun disc in that city. By then, we will be able to restore the complete sun disc!"
A death knight spoke in an excited tone, and in his words, he didn't put that great city in his eyes at all. Because if you want to obtain the sun disc of that city, you must first occupy that city.
To the death knights, a small city is nothing to them, after all, they have already destroyed two kingdoms. The Gray Mane Kingdom and the Lizardman Kingdom are not insignificant. Ordinary gnolls and lizardmen are physically strong, and the physical fitness of ordinary gnolls and lizardmen can be compared with the official second-level arms. After training, it can be compared with the official third-level arms.
However, such a powerful Gray Mane Kingdom and Lizardman Kingdom were easily destroyed under their terrifying death canopy. As soon as the death veil came out, the endless death power eroded all the living beings in the death veil, causing them to finally peel off their flesh and blood, turn them into bones, and finally become an undead, becoming the power in their hands.
On the coast of Mannheim, there are three countries. Graymane Kingdom, Lizardman Kingdom, and Elven Republic. If it weren't for the fact that there were several powerful trees of life in the elf republic against the sky of death, all the countries on the coast of Mannheim would have been directly destroyed by them with the sky of death.
Therefore, the death knight simply turned a blind eye to the southern city. This is the view of all death knights.
In fact, they came here for the Lost City. Coincidentally, they were traveling in the direction of Drehem, which caused Kant to misunderstand. However, this misunderstanding is not a misunderstanding, because the death knights will attack Drehem after all, but their purpose is not for revenge as Kant thought, but for the sun disc.
"Continue to dig, dig out the entire lost city, and empty the yellow sand inside at the same time! You supervise your own slaves!"
A death knight gathered all the death knights and issued orders. Obviously, the identity of this death knight is higher than other death knights.
…
On the road from the Stone Pass to Drehem, Kant led an army of more than 200,000 troops, advancing steadily. Because it is marching in the desert, even if there are mages who continuously release group acceleration, the speed is not particularly fast.
Kant also did not use means to forcibly increase the morale of the soldiers. Therefore, many of the exhausted soldiers fell into a light sleep on top of the horses, and at the same time moved forward with the horses.
In Dreihem, Bandak has been sending out occasional reconnaissance to learn more about the form of the enemy. Whenever there is any major movement of the enemy, it will fall into Bandak's eyes exactly, and then Bandak Someone will be sent to convey all this information to Kant.
"What, the enemy army stopped deep in the Nalun Desert, and they are digging deep in the desert?" Kant was very happy when he received this information.
"Send the order, the whole army slows down and advances slowly." Kant did this to make the soldiers who dozed off immediately or even fell into a light sleep more comfortable.
Now that the enemy army has stopped, they have more time and can take it easy.
