"Are you all ready? Starting tomorrow, we will have a hard battle."
Hearing Jia Siwei's words, others nodded. These people were all recruited by Jia Siwei, and they were all visitors from the earth who had given up their territory. These people were more secure to use.
Although there were many natives under his command, Jia Siwei was even more worried about those people.
"Very good. Now that everything is ready, let's start resting and get started tomorrow."
Anyway, they don't have any mercenaries now, so it doesn't matter if they perform a little slower and move slower. Everyone else speeds up and wants to get military honors as quickly as possible. Only Jia Siwei has been walking at the back.
Those nobles thought that because of their exclusion, Jia Siwei was dragged down to act like this. They never thought that all this was intentional on his part. Otherwise, if he had enough resources, how could he slow down if he wanted to speed up.
There are many highly capable people from all walks of life under him, so it is very easy to coordinate within the team.
As for Ernino, he had already separated from Jia Siwei a long time ago. He was the fastest runner. With a combat power equivalent to 500 bronze levels, he pushed forward and was already close to the border city.
But as soon as he approached the border city, Ermino noticed that something was wrong, because he noticed that a large number of people who had fled were coming. At first, he thought it was just a special situation, but then he realized that something was wrong.
"Report, I heard from those who fled that the front line has been taken down by the enemy, and it is the undead who are responsible."
"Undead? Impossible. How could there be creatures like the undead here?"
It's not that he has never seen the undead. In fact, many people have seen the undead, especially in some mass graves. Over time, some bones will be nourished by the death energy and automatically transform into undead.
These undead souls are also the targets of the patrol team's extermination. They have to exterminate some every year, which is the source of their merits.
Ermino also led people to exterminate undead creatures before, so he still understands.
But large-scale undead are completely different from those single ones. I haven't heard of such a scale anywhere, let alone the Crescent Kingdom, even in the vast surrounding land.
Although Ermino had heard about falling debris, he didn't know much about it.
He just knew that some fragments would fall down every once in a while, changing the terrain and expanding the land. But where exactly these things came from and what they did, Ermino didn't know much.
The last time I learned about it, it was caused by the emergence of a large number of natural lords.
"No, the undead are the undead, a large-scale army of the undead."
Suddenly, someone rushed in and shouted in terror. At first Ermino was angry, but after noticing the terrifying look on the person's face and the increasingly noisy voice, Ermino realized something was wrong.
After opening the tent, Ermino's expression changed. The outside was white and was advancing towards them, and a semi-surrounding situation was already formed.
Why did so many undead suddenly appear here, and I didn't get any news at all?
"Damn it, retreat." It was too dangerous to face so many undead in this field environment.
But suddenly some high-level skeletons were thrown down from the air, mixed with a lot of low-level skeletons, and the battle broke out immediately.
"No, my puppet!" Ermino led the chaotic crowd and tried hard to evacuate, but found that his puppet could not follow.
Looking back, I found that the puppet was blocked by the skeletons, and then was overwhelmed by the large number of skeletons that followed. Although it was still struggling and fighting, it seemed that it could not escape.
"Your Excellency, evacuate, it's too late." Others quickly advised.
It's really not worth risking your own life for those puppets.
Ermino gritted his teeth and said, "Follow me, retreat." So they fought and retreated, and the team became more and more scattered. After all, these people were not trained by themselves, but hired by themselves.
Faced with this kind of battle, some people began to have other thoughts.
As the battle progressed, the team became more and more dispersed. Finally, some people couldn't bear the pressure and turned around and ran away. Others secretly moved to other places.
With fewer and fewer people around him, Ermino felt something was wrong. He looked around and suddenly became angry.
"These damn bastards actually escaped from the battlefield. You will be wanted when I come back." Ermino was completely angry. And he could imagine what kind of reputation he would become after returning.
The person he hired ran away, but he is a genuine nobleman and will definitely become a laughing stock.
The most important thing is that I rushed so fast, but I was beaten like this as soon as I ran over. What will my father think of me when I go back? I still want to inherit the family, but I can't think of anything in the future.
Ermino fled in front, and gradually only some of the people he had brought with him were left.
Even so, nearly half of these people died. If it weren't for the sacrifices of these people, he might not have been able to escape. But even so, there were still undead chasing him.
"Is this all we need to do without killing him?"
"No, Jia Siwei said to keep his life, he is more important. The other nobles can just try to keep one life."
From a distance, there are skeleton heroes watching here, adjusting the composition of the chasing team from time to time. If they keep chasing like this, it will be impossible for these people to escape.
Even after their adjustments, the fleeing team in front kept changing their routes without even noticing it themselves.
Just chasing all the way, Jia Siwei, who didn't know when to speed up, happened to overlap with the pursuit route.
"Look, it's Ermino." Someone suddenly pointed ahead and shouted, Ermino also spotted Jia Siwei's team. After a burst of joy in his heart, there was a burst of shame.
Originally I looked down on Jia Siwei and didn't want the other party to take advantage of me, but now I want the other party to rescue her.
Jia Siwei came out and said loudly: "Form up to resist the undead. Lord Ermino, come here quickly."
Ermino speeded up and entered the middle of Jia Siwei's team. Jia Siwei's puppets had now formed a hollow square array, surrounding them in the middle and guarding them firmly.
The skeletons outside are constantly attacking, but their strength is not as good as those puppets. If the puppets are injured, they will be replaced as soon as possible, and they will receive some simple repairs later, which are too complicated for people like them.
