"What's going on?" In the magnificent palace, a plump Grand Duke looked at the projected scene in front of him with an ugly face. What was shown on it were what happened recently at the entrance to the Cave of the Dead in his country.
scene.
The black mist of death that is visible to the naked eye surges out from the entrance of the cave. Although it is sizzling in the sunshine from the sky and purified at a speed visible to the naked eye, the death energy pouring out of the entrance of the cave is more intense than the sunlight.
Evolve more.
It can be clearly seen that some undead, under the cover of the death air, launched a charge towards the legion stationed next to the entrance of the cave. The undead, which had become extremely powerful due to the nourishment of the death air, experienced some spells from the accompanying mage group.
After the bombing, there was a hand-to-hand battle with the garrison. The scene was extremely brutal.
It is a very common scene for the undead to rush out of the entrance of the Crypt of the Dead and attack the garrison, but it only happens when night falls and the bright moon hangs high in the night sky.
What should have happened after dark was shown to the Grand Duke, but what happened when the sun was shining brightly. The Grand Duke remembered that as long as he could remember, he had never heard of any undead attacking the garrison during the day.
, but now he sees it.
Then the emotion of panic arose in his heart. He would have this emotion when the things he was accustomed to suddenly changed. Even if he was a high-ranking Duke, the scene in front of him made the Duke realize
, something is out of your control.
"Your Majesty, not only the garrison has been affected, but the adventure group that entered the Cave of the Dead during this period has less than a thousand people who have returned alive. According to their reports, the undead in the Cave of the Dead have now become extremely violent.
, and the strength has increased dramatically, even an ordinary skeleton’s body is as hard as steel.”
"What happened in the Crypt of the Dead?" The fat Duke asked with a pale face. He knew many secrets and had a very bad premonition in his heart.
"Regarding this abnormal phenomenon and comparing it with ancient books and data, our preliminary conclusion is that a natural disaster of the undead is about to break out."
"Are you kidding me?" Dagong's face instantly turned pale. He stood up, with a strange flush on his face and looked unusually angry. "Are you fooling me? You think I don't know? Eight hundred years ago.
The natural disaster of the undead has only erupted once, and there are still at least two hundred years until the next one. How could it erupt now?"
"But Your Majesty, this is indeed the abnormal movement before the natural disaster of the undead breaks out. When the natural disaster of the undead is about to break out, those low-level undead living in the darkness dare to rush out of the surface during the day and attack humans."
"How could this be?" The Grand Duke sat on the throne behind him with a somewhat confused expression. As a member of the ruling class, he naturally has considerable cultivation talent, but this talent is basically useless when it reaches the soul level.
So he is currently around the gold level. This kind of strength is basically enough for the ruler of the human kingdom. Ruling the kingdom for hundreds of years is not a problem.
He has already calculated that when the natural disaster of the undead breaks out two hundred years later, he will have almost abdicated, and the grass on the graves will have grown into trees. He does not need to worry about this matter at all. It is his son who should worry about it. He died
He doesn't care about the flood in the future. Now he only needs to maintain the domestic situation and enjoy it every day! After all, life is short, why not enjoy it in time?
But now someone actually told him that the natural disaster of the undead was going to break out while he was in office. Once a natural disaster broke out, what a fool for him to do! As a grand duke, he must stand up and coordinate everything, even when the country is facing the most critical moment,
He still has to stand at the forefront. If he wants to wear the crown, he must bear its weight.
He enjoyed the best tribute from the people of the entire principality. When in times of crisis, he had to stand up, even if he didn't want to in his heart, but the education he received told him that he must do so for the glory of the principality.
"What about other countries? Are other countries like this? If this happens only in our principality, it is just an accidental phenomenon, and it does not mean that it is a precursor to the outbreak of natural disasters." The Grand Duke said in a not-so-good-looking tone.
With a hint of hope, he looked at his court mage.
"Your Majesty the Grand Duke, we are very sorry. Before reporting to you, we have already contacted mages from other countries." When asked, the chief mage of the palace responded very naturally. For a Grand Duke who only knows how to enjoy pleasure, of course, all the
We will report back after we investigate the matter clearly. Otherwise, what orders can we expect the Grand Duke to issue?
"This kind of thing happened not only in our country, but also in other countries. The low-level undead rushed out during the day and attacked the garrison."
"That's it, I understand." The Grand Duke's face, which was a little pale and even angry, gradually returned to normal, gradually regaining the majesty that a Grand Duke should have. "Inform the whole country and order preparations for war! Order the attendants to prepare armor and weapons for me.
, the long night is coming, and I will fight with my principality until the last moment."
"I obey His Majesty's orders!" Hearing the serious words suddenly spoken by the pleasure-seeking Grand Duke, the court mage who came to report was stunned. He looked at the fat Grand Duke sitting above and thought in his mind.
Suddenly he recalled what the Grand Duke looked like when he first came to the throne. Yes, he was not that fat yet, and he was still an ambitious and high-spirited young man. Then he slowly turned into a person who only knew how to enjoy sitting on it.
The fat man.
…
When unusual changes occurred in the Crypt of the Dead, various countries on the Obisto subcontinent reacted immediately. The span of a thousand years is too long for a short-lived species like human beings.
What happened eight hundred years ago is like a legend to most humans, but this kind of natural disaster that affected the entire continent will never be forgotten by the top experts of mankind.
Therefore, for a moment, the entire Obisto subcontinent became quiet, all disputes disappeared, all wars were called to a halt, and the rulers of each country withdrew their troops originally stationed on the border in a tacit agreement.
Legion.
In the face of a real natural disaster that affects the entire continent, what do the grievances between countries mean? Moreover, at this time, if there are still rulers who do not know how to live or die and want to engage in internal fighting, they will be liquidated immediately.
The natural disaster of the undead is aimed at all living beings on the continent. No matter what race you are or what your identity is, there is no difference in the face of the undead that hates all living beings.
…
"The natural disaster of the undead is about to break out!" As all the countries on the Obisto subcontinent gathered their strength and prepared for war, waiting for the natural disaster to come, Muria, who was practicing in Xinapus, also got the news, and followed
Along with the news came a letter for help from the church. This was a letter for help jointly sent by all the churches on this continent.
"Please ask me to help some countries when the undead natural disaster breaks out." There was no mandatory request or proposal, just a very peaceful tone begging Muria to take action.
"Your Highness, if you are willing to take action, we will give you a generous gift." In the council hall, a cardinal archbishop wearing a red robe inlaid with gold and a battle armor spoke.
"If I remember correctly, Obisto's natural disaster of the undead erupts once every thousand years, and there should be about two hundred years until the next outbreak."
"Your Highness, the so-called thousand-year outbreak is just a misinformation. A thousand-year period is just a rough estimate. Natural disasters sometimes occur later and sometimes earlier. But this time the natural disaster breaks out too far in advance. We
I’m not ready yet. Or rather, I’m not prepared at all.”
The cardinal archbishop who came to ask for help smiled bitterly and shook his head and explained. "Although the countries on the mainland began to prepare after discovering the signs of natural disasters, this time it was too sudden. Before every natural disaster breaks out, we have ten to five years.
A ten-year buffer to prepare.”
It is precisely because of this that the strong men living on this continent began to look for all external forces, and Muria and his Xinapus naturally became their key targets for help.
"When the undead natural disaster breaks out, there is no problem in rescuing some human civilians." After a moment of silence, Muria nodded slowly. For some reason, he felt a little guilty. He felt that this time the undead natural disaster broke out, maybe
It has something to do with him, maybe it's the reason why he dug into Barbossa's lair. But can a great lich possess such a terrifying ability?
