As expected, the lights in the backyard could see that the open space was densely packed with skeletons and a small number of rotting corpses.

Some of them diverted into the aisles and other places, and many more gathered in the open space in a surround form.

Lorton's figure had been overwhelmed by the skeletons, and the sound of fighting coming from the encirclement indicated that he was fighting.

The three of Thor gestured to each other and began to advance in the direction where Lorton was.

Although the number of these skeletons is staggering, the physical strength is really not enough, and they also have a relatively slow charging action when swinging the weapon, as long as you keep enough calm, it is not difficult to dodge or parry.

After the initial panic, even Valle is now able to swing his weapon smoothly to exert some combat power.

The three of them used their hands and feet together, and soon tore a gap in the skull's envelope.

Lorton stood among the broken bones on the ground, surrounded by an empty area, and he didn't know how many bones lay there.

The slight shortness of his breath showed that he was not fighting easily, after all, his rampage, wild power was a meaningless physical exertion on these enemies that could not be completely destroyed.

The four people stand back to back, facing in four directions in a cross shape.

The gap was quickly refilled, and the skeletons and carrions gathered around again like a tidal wave.

Everyone deliberately didn't want to face the rotting corpses, not because of fear, but mainly because they watched their rotten heads and far away from their beautiful hideous appearance, which could always arouse all kinds of negative emotions in people's hearts in an instant.

And if you cut down a random carrion, you will inevitably have carrion and maggots flying around, plus the strange smell mixed with the stench, it is really disgusting.

Thor remembered that he had seized a tomb during the famine, wrapped up someone's bones and stuffed it somewhere else, and wondered if the creature was standing among the skeletons now.

After taking care of their respective directions, the battle quickly became easy.

"I didn't expect the opportunity to play together so quickly. Lorton glanced at Thor.

Saul smiled and nodded, while Valle grumbled angrily:

"What the hell are these damn guys?"

“...... Undead?" Shogues' uncertain tone sounded like an answer and a question.

Suddenly hearing the name 'undead', the corners of Thor's eyes couldn't help jumping.

It is said that scholars have conducted long-term research on the skeletons wandering in the cemetery, and even heated debates and debates over whether or not to define them as 'undead', but all of this has only been circulated on a small scale.

One of the more reliable theories is that the skeletons around the graveyard have no vital signs, no intelligence, no gangs, and no racial identity, so they end up being just a hover.

Shogues may have heard a rumor from somewhere, and only then did he spit out the word undead at this moment.

Glancing over the dense array of enemies in front of him, Thor spoke:

"As far as I know, zombies, owls, mind eaters, vampires, lichs, and the like are the true undead. ”

"The forgotten horrors are truly terrifying, and they possess intelligence no less than that of humans, and some of them are even better at thinking than humans. ”

"They wander in the endless river of time, because they are out of the boundaries of life and do not die naturally, even in the face of battle, it is difficult to really kill them without special means. ”

"The skeletons and carrion in front of me don't seem to be self-aware, more like they have been temporarily endowed with fighting instincts, so they can only be regarded as puppets at best, tools of battle, or carriers of some will. ”

After listening to Thor's words, the other three turned their heads at the same time and asked in unison.

"What do you mean?"

Obviously, Thor's words immediately reminded the three of them of something like an evil god.

"Necromancer. ”

"As far as I know, that's one of the more evil categories of magicians, and it's the public enemy of the entire continent. ”

"They can drive the bones of living beings to fight for them, they can summon evil necromancers, and they can even kill the living to become their own battle puppets, and every time a necromancer appears in history, it will set off a bloody storm of blood throughout the continent. ”

"You mean there's a necromancer hiding around right now?"

Valer looked around in disbelief, and even Lorton and Shogues subconsciously turned their heads, as if someone was hiding in the darkness in the distance and peeking around, but they didn't see anything.

"This is just a speculation on my part, and driving skeletons is not the exclusive tactic of necromancers, and it is said that they were completely extinct at the beginning of the Bright Calendar, and there is almost no record of them after entering the Dark Calendar. ”

After knocking one of the attached skeletons apart with the hammer surface, Thor continued:

"At the end of the Old Kingdom, the lord of the dead, Tharrenne Nogador, reigned on the earth and led his undead to attack, and even the gods were overshadowed.

"Although the sun and moon were still shining in the sky at that time, people called that era 'the time of misery.' ”

"In that catastrophe that even the dead were not spared, the undead camp was very united, and many other creatures that only existed in legends also appeared, as if all the ancient evils had returned at the same time. ”

"They summoned eagle spirits and dragon skeletons to cover the sky, driving the bones of living beings all over the ground to follow one after another. ”

"As a result, the continent of Salvia was dragged into a situation where all people were at war, and humans and aliens had to put aside their prejudices and fight side by side, achieving a close unity that had never been seen before. ”

"Later generations referred to that huge force as the 'Holy Alliance'. ”

"It's a pity that in the face of endless enemies, no matter how boiling the blood is, there is a time to drain. ”

"War is never short of heroes, but more often than not, it's the dead. ”

"When the fallen relatives and comrades-in-arms stood up again and joined the undead camp to mercilessly turn against each other, even as people wiped their tears and bled endlessly, the battle still slipped towards a crushing defeat. ”

"In the end, the Lord of Light and the Lord of the Undead were all destroyed, and the remaining gods joined forces to seal the evil in a secret realm. ”

"In order to commemorate the fall of the Lord God of Light, the mainland has entered the Bright Calendar from the Kingdom Calendar. ”

"All kinds of ethnic groups licked their wounds, flourished, and finally ushered in a new era of prosperity, and people called the beginning of the Bright Calendar the 'era of excellence'. ”

"At the end of the Calendar of Light, following the fall of Gabriel, the god of light, Balek, the god of darkness, launched a war of the gods because he coveted the position of the main god, and finally crowned the position of the main god. ”

"The continent thus entered the dark calendar, which we now call the 'difficult times'. ”

Saul's story is about the past of the Sarvinian continent, which comes from an ancient book that has been buried for an unknown number of years in a pile of religious relics in the underground library.

It's just that he didn't know that if he dared to mention this history in the big cities of the South, he would be labeled a heretic.

Since the Dark Council took over the South, the cult of the Temple of Light has been subjected to a series of bloody and ruthless purges.

In order to ensure the stability of the theocracy, this dusty history has also become a taboo deliberately avoided by the Dark Council, and a large number of documents from the relevant period have been destroyed, and all questioning statements have been stifled.

Even if some scholars scrutinized this history, they would not dare to make some of their guesses or conclusions public, otherwise the accusation of a single pagan would be enough to make them die.

Thor actually had deep doubts about that history.

Because in almost all beliefs about the gods, the gods are immortal and omnipotent, but in that holy war, it is said that in addition to the main god of light, several gods fell one after another.

On the other hand, since the Lord of the Dead has the ability to resist the gods, does that mean that his strength is still above the gods, so what is the existence above the gods?

Some baseless speculation had plagued Thor for a while, and in the end he had to reluctantly find an answer from other sources.

The writer of history may beautify or scandalize things because of their preferences or desires, or they may hide some details or even distort history according to the political atmosphere between the kingdoms at the time.

Of course, there must be honest and impartial writers, but their truthful records are mixed with those true and false versions of history, and who knows which version is true.

This is not something that an orphan should be concerned about, and in the end Thor has to put the damn questions aside and acquiesce to a conclusion.

History never has the truth, because it was written by people.

Listening to Thor's story, including Thor himself, the four of them suddenly felt a sense of dislocation in time and space.

Facing the dense skeletons that were still surrounding them, it was as if they were standing in the center of that ancient battlefield many years ago, surrounded by an army of undead.

It was the closest humanity ever came to extinction.

Although the four of them were not participants in that ancient nightmare, this did not prevent them from using their imaginations to penetrate the thick years and imagine the despair that was full of corpses.
