Scourge of the Undead
Legend has it that during the ancient war of gods, one of the twelve magic emperors, the "Allah of the Dead Kingdom" - Emperor Diamond, was the only magic emperor who did not fall under the siege of the gods and many races in the Blade Tower Continent. The God-Destroying Magic Tool "The Black Coffin of the Kingdom of Death" made by him successfully protected his remaining body and a few soul fragments, allowing Emperor Diamond to transform himself into a strange being that transcended the laws of life and death - "Witch" Demon King".
Although the era when the magic emperor ruled the world has long passed, the curse of the "Dead Kingdom God" on the Blade Tower Continent has continued. The "undead creatures" were created precisely because he distorted the underlying rules of the world and cursed all living people. The resulting dark monsters, the Scourge, were tools of revenge created by Emperor Diamond.
In a sense, the Scourge Legion is more terrifying than the invasion of hell demons, the counterattack of the Inhumans in the dungeons and wild tribes, although except for a few elite individuals such as the Undead Knights, Blood Corpse Dragons, and undead creatures such as skeleton soldiers and zombies, Most undead creatures such as zombies are vulnerable and can be dealt with by militiamen with a little training. However, the most terrifying thing about the Scourge is that it may break out in any place where a large number of humans gather. Just like a plague, it may initially only be There are just one or two attacks and casualties that no one pays attention to. By the time people really notice, even their loved ones may have been infected by "death" and turned into undead evil beings without wolves that only know how to attack all living creatures. . The focus of natural disasters of the undead is not "undead", but "natural disasters". Because undead natural disasters are like those terrible natural disasters, they are impossible to prevent and once they break out. It has the potential to cause the entire continent to become a kingdom of death. Therefore, since thousands of years ago, as long as there are intelligent creatures in human beings, dungeons, and wilderness tribes, there has been an unwritten rule. Once people or things related to undead disasters are discovered, they will be killed at all costs. its destruction. If zombies are found in the village, then the village will be slaughtered. If there are undead creatures in the forest. Then burn the whole forest to ashes
Thinking of the plot fragments in the story related to the undead natural disaster, Goron couldn't help but tremble slightly. Anything related to the undead natural disaster does not need to be argued or explained. Just the thing on the lower abdomen of General Lena Catherine is related to death. The death charm carved on the black coffin has the same scar pattern. Once exposed. Not only will all the relatives and friends who have a close relationship with Reina be killed, but the entire Survey Corps, and even outsiders like him who have walked into the military camp, not only the entire Low Tide Port, may be killed by the Holy Light. The cathedral's burial institution was thoroughly cleaned and then burned. In the history of the empire, there have been cases of using natural disaster runes to set traps and frame others, but the empire has always strictly investigated such matters. There will be no tolerance. Of course, those framed will be eliminated as soon as possible. But if the mastermind behind the scenes is found out afterwards, they will be treated a hundred times the same or even more cruelly. Even the soul will be extracted by the royal necromancer, and then cursed and tortured. Therefore, everyone avoids it, and almost no one dares to fight the undead. The idea of a natural disaster. Among the stories that Gron has heard, there is a story about the struggle for the heir to the imperial royal family that involves the undead natural disaster, and in this story, the imperial royal family was almost destroyed.
In just a moment, countless possibilities flashed through Goron's mind, but he could not imagine any plan that could perfectly solve the crisis at hand. At this moment, the female general with a gentle smile on her face leaned over. She almost turned her face to Gron's face and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Goron was suddenly startled, and quickly squeezed out a smile, and said awkwardly: "No, it's just the first time I saw the General, and I felt a little nervous"...
"Oh~~~? Is that so?". Reina's face was filled with a naughty smile, and then she pinched Goron's cheek deliberately with her fingers. She smiled sweetly and said: "Looking at it from a close distance, you are really cute. Why?" It’s such a shame that you are going to be a boy.”
""Gron looked weird, but he didn't dare to talk anymore. He just wanted to stay as far away from this woman as possible, and then think about how he should protect the general's secret once it was leaked. The person he needs to protect, even an extremely tempting but extremely dangerous idea cannot be restrained from brewing in Goron's mind.
Can he take advantage of this opportunity
"You all please step aside, I want to have a good chat with this child."
All the female military police soldiers present and the guards in the room immediately left immediately after receiving the order without any hesitation. Obviously, this was not the first time that the general had issued such an order. The female general looked at the bewildered young man in front of her and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I just want to chat with you for a while. Also, I don't think a man can deal with all the women in the old street overnight. , you will be so nervous after seeing me, don’t you think so, dear ‘King of Backstreet’?”
Goron was really stunned this time. Apart from the women in the old streets, few outsiders should know about his becoming the "King of the Backstreets", not to mention such a big deal. It shouldn't be enough to attract the attention of a behemoth like the Survey Corps. But General Reina had just recognized him, how could he reveal this secret all at once
"Isn't there anything surprising?" As if she had seen through Goron's thoughts, Reina Catherine continued to smile: "The 'big boss' Cassandra of the old street, I happen to be very interested in this woman. She made everything from scratch. Experience, her abilities, her methods, and her mind are all the things that attract me most in this terrible but interesting place, so I did a little research on her, and by the way I learned about the 'man among men' "The interesting story about conquering all the women in Laojie overnight. After I saw you, I suddenly discovered that your characteristics were exactly the same as the information I had obtained. I really didn't expect that you were doing this to protect Laojie. Women, no, those perverts like Kula Khan should be interested in boys. You actually dare to send yourself to my survey corps in order to protect them. Based on my understanding of that big boss. From the looks of it, this shouldn't be her idea. This also rules out the possibility that you are being taken advantage of, so why did you come here on your own initiative with some ulterior conspiracy? Few words"
Look at the woman's sweet smile. Goron only felt a chill running down his spine. In her eyes, Goron seemed to see a terrifying abyss.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. By the way. I have something I want to show you. Come with me."
Gron had no way to refuse at all. The difference in strength between him and the opponent was too great, especially after knowing the real secret of this female general. He knew that whether he turned around and ran away or risked his life to resist, there was only one way to die, so Gronn could only bite the bullet and follow behind Rena Catherine. Go to another room.
This should be the General's private study, and she pulled out one of the books on the bookshelf without hesitation. There was a clattering sound, and the bookshelf slid open to both sides, revealing a movable space portal. Even Gronn, who is an ogre, knows that a semi-stable space portal like this is absolutely valuable, and even ordinary nobles cannot own it, let alone someone like the commander-in-chief of the Survey Corps who is in the imperial military headquarters. Reina Catherine, who is not considered an important person in the middle, is at the level of Rena. So, is it really because of her other identity
Goron instinctively wanted to turn around and escape, but suddenly found that his body was like a frog stared to death by a poisonous snake, unable to move at all. Helplessly, Goron could only follow this dangerous woman and step into the teleportation door.
Not knowing where this portal is connected, Goron felt as if he suddenly returned to the familiar cave of the Black Hand tribe, dark, cold and damp.
Vaguely, you can still smell a little bit of blood. The biggest difference between this place and the Ogre Cave is that this cave-like place is completely artificially built, with the walls and floors paved with heavy stone bricks.
At this time, it was unnecessary to worry anymore. Instead, Goron completely let go of his worries and casually asked General Rena who was leading the way: "Where is this place? Why does it feel like a dungeon?"
Goron did not get an answer. After General Lena entered the secret room, he seemed to be a different person, saying nothing and paying no attention to the people behind him. Although Gron could only see her back, he could still guess that the female general was probably no longer interested in pretending to have that false smile.
After walking through the dark corridor, finally, a dim light appeared in front of them, and Goron knew that they had arrived.
Following Lena, Goron stepped into the stone room. Perhaps because he had been mentally prepared for it, Goron was not surprised by what he saw in front of him.
That might be a middle-aged man, right? Goron couldn't confirm it immediately. Even if he was a very experienced ogre chef, it would be difficult to quickly judge what the pile of squirming meat in front of him should be.
If the torture master who had forcibly taught Goron was here, he would probably pounce on it and look at it as if he were seeing the best work of art. After all, one of the "five" limbs has been cut off, and his eyelids, lips, ears, and nose have all been cut off. People who have been cut off, with all their internal organs and brain exposed, and whose bones are carefully removed piece by piece and then randomly inserted back into the internal organs, can still continue to live. This is definitely not something that can be achieved by ordinary torture methods. Although Goron's cooking skills can reach this level, his skills are for cooking, not for making people endure the maximum pain and torture.
On the pile of meat in front of him, Goron seemed to see the hatred as thick as the sea of blood in hell, as well as the deepest curse for the world, everyone, and even himself.
"This man is the director of the Hundred Birds Orphanage, and I grew up in this orphanage."
When Gron heard the sound and looked back, he saw General Lena, who had taken off his military uniform at some point, naked and expressionless, standing behind him. Just as Gron had seen before, there were countless things about this woman. The criss-crossing scars are like her abyss of bottomless malice, making all living beings tremble and fear.
"As expected, you already know my secret. Although I don't know how you did it, you are still the first person who can see through the disguise barrier I put up and directly see my ugly body."
