"And then?" Banksy listened carefully to my story, as if she had been shaken by my experience. After seeing that I had paused here, she asked a little eagerly.

"Later, I became an undead, and ran around with the leader of the undead and waited for an opportunity to expand the size of the race. But this expansion is not to absorb living creatures and become undead as we did at the beginning, but to select some fresh corpses from the corpses that still have a trace of warmth, and then judge whether this person has a strong will to survive, and if they really want to live again, we will turn them into members of our undead clan. After saying that, I paused, took Banksy's hand and reached into my arms, and smiled, "Do you feel it? Although I am said to be an undead, my body still has some warmth." It's not the same as a real dead person. ”

"Well, I know. Banksy smiled warmly, "Ma'am, I didn't know you had this before. I know it's hard to feel like you're powerless when your race is dying. ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "Believe it or not, I only found out about what happened to the elves when I came to the Danmoth Empire not long ago. Before that, I had been busy dealing with the internal affairs of the undead clan, and coupled with the blockade imposed on us by the three kingdoms of Kaiyuan before, we had no way to know the news of the outside world. It wasn't until the messenger sent by the Three Kingdoms told us that this world was no longer the same as before, that I knew that the original elves had been destroyed. If it's sad that I can't do anything when my race is coming to an end, then when I know through the outside world that my previous race has perished, I really... I really don't want to describe it. I patted Banksy on the shoulder, "I'm just now realizing you're a good guy." I've always been wary of the three of you, but now I realize that it's just my own sense of self-preservation. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to tell these things, and I'd have become depressed and even insane. Right now... Now thank you, thank you for listening to my story. Alright, now it's time for us to go. ”

I smiled apologetically at the three of Redding Firestorm and Iron Mountain who were waiting for us in front of me, and began to continue on my way.

I have to say that after we just got through the biggest crisis for us, we suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and at least we don't see the few people or elves that we hate now, so although my mood is still a little heavy, it can be regarded as clearing some of the previous haze a little. What's more, Reading told me good news. "Ladies and gentlemen, please look ahead, do you see? Those majestic shadows are the greatest masterpiece of our Danmoth Empire for thousands of years, the Courage Line! It is precisely because of this majestic Courage Defense Line that we can successfully resist those apostles from the extraterrestrial world with evil purposes, and I believe that we can rely on this courage defense line to defeat those apostles once and for all! Of course, although we can now faintly see the shadow of the Courage Line, it will take us a full five days to reach our final destination!"

Reading seemed very happy now, probably because we were finally able to reach our destination after going through a lot of hardships, so he seemed very excited, plus his physique had been greatly strengthened after eating dragon meat, if it wasn't for the fact that he had to ride on the dark yellow horse created by Banks in order to save his physical strength, then I would have estimated that Reading would have jumped up with joy at this time, and trotted all the way to the line of courage.

But fortunately, when Reading was about to lose any of his vigilance, Firestorm taunted, "Is your greatest project to defend against foreign enemies, and will you not hesitate to turn a kingdom that is subordinate to you into a pathetic victim for this?" Seeing some annoyance in Redding's eyes, Firestorm hurriedly waved his hands: " Uh, old man, you have to know that I didn't mean to say that, I just want to remind you that we are far from being so optimistic, although ah, we have destroyed many waves of enemies, but I know that the closer we get to our destination, the more dangerous we will be. And, even if we reach our destination, you must know that you are no longer the regent of this empire, but a fugitive, so what should we do when we reach the line of courage and find evidence of the regent's guilt to clear your name, so, old man, the real difficulty is far from coming, so we can't just let our guard down. ”

Finally, after some excitement and anger, Reading calmed down completely, and he knew that Firestorm was completely right: "Yes, thank you for reminding me. Now I understand, so I won't be like this. By the way, we are about to enter the area of combat readiness closest to the Line of Valorant, and please note that this is not the territory of any province, but is directly under the jurisdiction of the Danmoth Empire. This area is known as the Intruder's Graveyard, and it is the same combat readiness area as the Line of Valor, and since it is adjacent to the Line of Valor, it is natural that there are many reserve troops stationed here. So, in view of the growing age of His Majesty the Emperor, I have reason to believe that this place is already full of the power of the regent. If they're going to keep us at bay, it's the best place to ambush. Since our helpers have left us, we need to be extremely vigilant. ”

After a pause, Redding continued: "The terrain here is extremely complex, one part of the area is a desert, but the next part is a large swamp, and the next part is covered by dense forests. So it was not suitable for us to build a fortification like the Courage Line, but we still had troops stationed in the few plains as a reserve for the Courage Line. Well, as for the scale is not very large, that is, tens of thousands of people. ”

Fire Storm suddenly had a black line on his face: "Old man, if this is a joke, then it's really not funny at all." ”

"It's not a joke. Reading said: "Because before this, our empire could not guarantee that the people stationed on the Courage Line could completely resist the attacks of the apostles, so we specially set up a large group of reserve troops to prevent accidents. Unfortunately, it's likely that these misprepared first uses were directed at us, and oh, of course, I don't think it's a joke. ”

Eventually, we ended up in what is known as the Intruder's Cemetery, and when we stepped into the area, it really felt like a cemetery. Reading was right, this should be what he called the desert area. But judging from the current situation, it seems a bit beautifying to say that this is a desert. It's almost all a desert of black sand. "Beware, there are places in these deserts that simply can't hold the weight of a person, so we'd better 。。。。。。 Reading was about to warn the crowd when he realized that the dark yellow horses that Banksy had made could be suspended on the ground without touching it, so he looked a little embarrassed. "Well, Banksy, thank you. ”

In this way, one of the most dangerous areas has suddenly become a paradise because of the presence of Banksy. Of course, the scenery is not very pretty, but at least I can pass through it with peace of mind. After a few hours, we finally passed through the black desert unharmed. As he said, the next thing is a swampy area.

"Why is this such a strange place?" because of the dark yellow horses, we don't have to worry about us sinking into the swamp. But this place is of course much more terrifying than the previous black desert. Because you can see dead bodies everywhere that have died here for various reasons, and you can see the corpses of all kinds of races here. Of course, humans make up the vast majority. This made Firestorm feel very disgusted: "I said, girl, why do you have the ability to create such a magical thing, but you can't give each of us a mask?"

Banksy was equally disgusted by the smell of revenge floating around, and more seriously, she was somewhat terrified of the corpses. So he simply closed his eyes and didn't speak, just nodded in approval of Firestorm. And once again, he used his divine power to speed up the speed of these magical dark yellow horses. Finally, we were able to pass through the area at a faster pace.

Luckily, perhaps because we felt that the environment was too bad, we didn't encounter a single soldier from the Danmoth Empire in either area. I think that's why we're able to move through these two areas so quickly.

"That's why we didn't have troops here. The environment here is so harsh that our reserve army is stationed in the dense forests and near the plains ahead. And what we are about to reach is a plain, and where the first army of large size we will face is stationed. Probably a few thousand people. Now we have to hope that they didn't find out about us in advance, so we could still 。。。。。。 Passed safely. ”

Oh my God, there is a reason why Redding's words are paused here. This is because before Reading finished speaking, at the edge of the dense forest, we saw the army of the Dammoth Empire in the hundreds of sizes waiting for us.

Fortunately, the enemies we faced were all regular Danmoth Empire soldiers, and their numbers were relatively small. I immediately knew why, and that was because this was at least nominally subject to the old emperor of the Dammos Empire, so at least some of the soldiers here were loyal to the king rather than to the regent. Therefore, when these lords saw that their compatriots were actually the kind they hated, they would definitely quickly tell the old emperor what was going on here. I even wish we could meet the special forces that belong directly to the Regent, because then we would not have to go to the Courage Line to gather information.

But of course, such hopes will have to wait until later. Because now we have an army of several hundred men, and although, although it is not large, I can no longer use the power of the undead. For me, this made me a little uncomfortable. However, Firestorm was very excited, because he could finally show his skills again. In addition, this is the first time that he has shown his abilities since eating dragon meat. "I'm sorry Lord Redding, but now that our lives are threatened, I don't think you mind the potentially dangerous things I did to protect our lives. After smirking at Redding, Firestorm burst out laughing and flew into the sky, and by the time he landed again, the forest had turned completely black. It's as if you've been hit by a fierce fire. Of course, this is worse than a fire. A small attack from this firestorm had already killed dozens of soldiers, and the remaining soldiers who had survived fled in fear.

"Look, it's actually quite easy. "Firestorm was looking at us with a relaxed face, in fact, it wasn't just us, even Firestorm himself was looking at himself. "It's really handsome, it's probably the first time I've been able to emit a raging flame all over my body. ”

And so on, this sense of danger has reappeared. I hate it because it makes me feel dangerous, and timid. But where did that feeling come from? How could I not know? I frowned and cast an approving glance at Firestorm. But this feeling reappeared when I looked at Firestorm, and it grew stronger and stronger. When I looked at the firestorm, I felt a sense of fear. What's going on?

I know! I finally know!"Firestorm, when did you get this magical ability?" I smiled at Firestorm and asked the question that I had been wondering about.
