vs 18 Additional History
Pedi's resolute tone and his commands represented his determination.
As everyone digested the order, the old orc Morinda took a step closer to where Pedi was, and added:
"Until Sir Sir Sira Marne's main force arrives, we try not to confront the main force of the Undead Legion. He looked at Pedi, "Sir Fred's army can only stick to the rear flank of the undead legions, but it can't really fight them. β
"I agree. Drahir immediately said, "Fighting against the Legion of the Undead, we only have one chance to fight a decisive battle!"
Sir Bipp looked at Drahir and Morinda and said, "Such an order would at least triple the consumption of our army. β
Drahir immediately retorted, "If we fight with the undead army with the current forces we have in Herion, we will only lose more!"
"But..."
Peddy stretched out his hand to stop Sir Bipp from continuing, and looked at his secretary general and commanded, "Tell Sir Fred that his mission is to defend the city of Herion, not the main force attacking the undead legion. β
With that, Pedy looked at Sir Bipp again, "You go about your business first... There is not much time left for us in the current situation of the Herion Territory, I will only give you ten days to prepare, and in ten days I will personally lead the soldiers to the Crane Territory!"
Sir Bipp looked at the King's unquestioning gaze, suppressed the words in his heart, glanced at the others in the room out of the corner of his eye, and walked briskly to the door.
Ignoring Sir Bipp who was leaving, Peddy pointed to Chancellor of the Exchequer Edwin Film, "There was a case recently investigated by the police department, and I signed an execution order last night, and you will carry it out in my place. β
Sir Edwin Filming, of course, knew what kind of case it was, for yesterday Don Wright had approached him with the case file and the King's order to cooperate in the investigation. In the past, he would definitely intercede for that group of businessmen, but today he could only choose to remain silent.
Pedi looked at Drachir as Sir Edwin retreated and asked, "You should have made a move, the enemy has appeared." β
"Our assembled army in the southern part of the Suker Plain is advancing in the direction of Suke City. Drahir immediately said, "At most, the undead army on the Suk Plains will be swept away by us. The confidence in his words was so natural, "The undead army outside Iruk City don't have to worry, because their presence is not to attack, but to harass. β
"And the most worrying thing is the Hoko Islands!" Drachel subconsciously approached the desk, stood in a brighter light, stared at Pedi and said, "The leader of the undead legion on the Hoko Islands is Enshi Ella!"
"Duke Enhi-Ella?" Pedi leaned back in his chair and sat up straight subconsciously with an incredible expression on his face, "Isn't he already dead in battle?"
"No, I have received accurate information that Enshi Ella disappeared before the final showdown between the Ella family and the Misha Kingdom. "And, what's even more interesting is that the evil energy in the magic net is the one that was completely revived after the decisive battle on the Mesto Plains in the Hoko Islands... To this end, we and the Kingdom of Misha have set up a special investigation team to investigate the whereabouts of Enshi-Ella, but we have found nothing until the undead legion arrives. β
"What's the difference between Duke Enxi and an ordinary necromancer?" Pei Di couldn't help but ask.
"The difference is that he can not only use evil powers, but also holy powers!" De Hilal said something that made everyone present exclaim, "According to the intelligence, he can even teach other undead warriors to learn holy powers. β
Pei Di's face changed, and the whole person subconsciously bounced up from the office chair, his heart beating uncontrollably violently, and after pondering for a few seconds under the gaze of others in the room, he said, "My mentor told me a long time ago that the Holy Power embraces everything!"
Drahier nodded, "More than three hundred years ago, after Grand Duke Patved discovered and began to use the Holy Force, we studied it, and it is a very strange power... Anyone can become a Paladin as long as they are strong enough and have a Paladin or Priest Mentor willing to guide them. β
"But once the faith collapses, the Holy Force will stay away from the Paladin. Pedi added.
Draxier nodded and then said, "The undead only need a simple command from a spellcaster, and they will maintain a certain faith until their death!"
"But the Holy Force doesn't cling to the corpse, because they don't have a mind... Should be... Is that so?" said Pedy's tone with uncertainty.
"Yes, there is no way for Enshi-Ella to make all of his undead legions become paladins, otherwise we won't have to fight this war. Draxiel's answer relieved everyone in the room, and then he added, "But there is a chance that summoned undead will form their own minds... Although the odds are low, they do exist!"
Pedi looked into Drahir's eyes and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Enshi-Iran has clearly changed his faith, but he can still be favored by the Holy Force. Drahir whispered, "Based on our research on the Holy Power, this is simply not possible...", his handsome face suddenly matured with his serious expression, "We can't let Duke Enshi-Ella leave the Hoko Islands and join the other undead legions!"
"And according to our intelligence, after summoning his army of the undead, Enhi-Ella did not take revenge on those who betrayed him in the first place, but first attacked the port of Klot, and snatched a fleet and headed for the South Sea, his intentions are very obvious..."
Morinda immediately said, "Are you saying that he wants to land inland, and then seek an opportunity to make peace with the main force of the Undead Legion of the Principality of Rigrock?"
"It's very likely. β
Morinda shook his head, "But first he has to travel thousands of miles, and the ideal route is to land at the military port of Fedenus, and then cross the Ferrolaco Forest and the Feld Territory... But if he dares to do so, it's no different from looking for death!"
"It's the regular route and I hope from the bottom of my heart he'll take this route. Draxier shrugged, then his face sank, "But have you forgotten? There is also teleportation magic that can be used, and this is something we can't stop unless we imprison the entire Eastern Continent's spatial barriers." β
While everyone's faces changed drastically, the Elven Advisor continued, "Enshi Ella didn't perform magic legends in the Hoko Islands, which means that he didn't have the conditions to cast it at that time... So, what we have to do now is to use the fleet in our hands to prevent his fleet from landing!"
"I see... I agree with you. Pedi looked at Morinda and Hanina, and after both of them nodded at the same time, he puffed out his chest and said, "The Combined Fleet will be the first army to join the Confederates!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. β
"No thanks, I'm doing this for the Kruria Kingdom, I'm just helping myself!"
"Thank you for thinking so. β
Pedi smiled noncommittally, pointed to the clerk and said to his secretary-general, "Send down the order from the conversation just now." β
"One more thing, Your Majesty. Drahir looked at Otwood who was leaving, and continued, "It's information about the main force of the Undead Legion in the Duchy of Rigrock. β
"I'm listeningβ" Pedi made a gesture of please.
"The leader of the main force of the Legion of the Undead in the Duchy of Rigrock... It's special. De La Hir's pale green eyes shimmered inexplicably in the candlelight, "Ferrola, you should all be familiar with it, right?"
"Ferrora?" Pedi thought the name was familiar, but didn't remember it for a moment.
"The fugitive daughter of the Puppet Emperor Barrett?" Baron Hanina's mind instantly thought of a document sealed in the Imperial Guard, "My information about her was interrupted before the end of the war between the Duchy of Rigrock and the Dwarves. β
"Yes, that's her. Drahir nodded, "She's now a powerful banshee, powerful you can't imagine... This is thanks to her bloodline, the bloodline of the Danediv family. β
Hannina looked puzzled, "Is there any difference in the blood of the royal family?"
"I told you before that your ancestors believed in certain evil gods. "The Danediv family goes back to ancient times, and the evil god they once believed in was a powerful banshee!"
"In the evil sacrifice, the Danediv family gained some great power, but their blood was slowly eroded by the power of the banshee, and later the evil god fell in the Great War... And your ancestors were clever enough to abandon their faith immediately after the defeat of the undead, and joined the army of the undead with the blood of the banshees. β
"After the war, the High Priests of the Minotaur and the Elven Council did not destroy you, but they destroyed your history, changed your mythological beliefs, and placed you in the Suker Plains, surrounded by mountains, for better surveillance. β
"Every time... Every time I say, every time the legions of the undead come, they choose you as their carriers, and every time after the war is over, we will tamper with your history again!"
"Don't look at me like that... That's just the way it is. The casual expression on Dralhir's face made one want to punch him, "A large part of the reason why you have survived for the past tens of thousands of years is because we need to keep you to study the evil power and finally crack its existence. β
"If it weren't for the important materials stored in this room, I would have beaten you up. Hannina had a fierce look in her eyes.
"Haha!" Drahiel chuckled, "I know it's hard to accept such history. His smile quickly retracted, "But your development has exceeded our expectations, and in just over three hundred years, your civilization has almost surpassed our efforts over the past tens of thousands of years." β
"This helped us a lot in the rest of the war, but it also brought even more disaster... As we said before, about 10,000 years ago, a powerful banshee was born in the army of the undead, and that banshee had the blood of the Danediv family in her veins. β
"So, are you trying to tell us that we're going to face that horrible existence too?" Pedi stared at Drahir's crimson eyes with a golden glow.
"I haven't seen the real history either. Drahir shook his head, "None of our people have really seen the war except for the old fellows of the Council, and the high priests who have survived the Minotaurs to the present day have not answered our questions. β
"However, one thing is certain..."The young elven advisor put away his joke and said solemnly, "This time the evil power in the demon net is the most powerful since the fall of the self-proclaimed evil gods of the Undead Legion. β
"And they chose the purest offspring with the blood of the ancient banshees..."
"Can I take this as a fairy tale?" wrinkles piled up on the old orc's Morinda face, and it was obviously hard to believe the truth in the elf's mouth.
Pedi glanced at Hannina, who was in a state of shock next to her, and silently returned to the office chair and sat down.
He leaned against the soft cushions of his chair and looked at Draxiel, who had just finished speaking, "Didn't you think of such a thing before? β
"Actually, we really didn't think about it. Drahir immediately explained, with obvious helplessness in his tone, "Under normal circumstances, the banshee bloodline of your ancient royal family cannot be activated, because the power of the banshee is the aggregate of all negative emotions, ordinary people... Even if you have the offspring of the blood of a banshee, activating such a power will either go crazy or turn into a corpse!"
"The banshee was also resurrected, but she couldn't be resurrected or born from the necromancer's summons, she had to be resurrected by herself... And a powerful banshee like Ferrora still needs to complete a complex sacrificial ritual that has long since been erased from the history of all civilization by our council before she dies!"
"More importantly, at the time of the sacrificial ceremony, the person who prayed must also be a living person... Okay, let's get back to the topic I just said... A living person, or a living person with a normal mind, cannot be completely filled with negative emotions. β
Everyone in the room, including Pedi, was lost in thought at his words, and all of them had expressions of incomprehension. Drahir let out a sigh, "I might be talking a little bit about it... So let me put it simply, there are three conditions for the resurrection of the banshee:
First, it must be oneself sacrificing one's own life,
second, the sacrificial ritual, but this ritual has long been erased from the history of civilization,
Thirdly, the sacrificer himself must be a normal person who has gone mad!"
"The first condition is simple, but the other two conditions need to be met, which is simply impossible, because these two conditions themselves are full of contradictions!"
"Crazy normal people?" Morinda frowned, "Is there such a person?"
