Chapter 80: A Quiet Change of Fate (7)
This is actually an undead!
The one who killed the middle-aged man in white was actually an undead!
Why is there an undead in the territory of the Danmoth Empire, and why is he in the ranks of the Auxiliary Ministers?
The four knights were stunned and watched as their companions fell to the ground in pieces. And they didn't even see who was behind the attack.
Without giving the remaining four companions much time to think about it, a second wave of attacks followed. However, the difference from the last time is that this time it is total. But the only thing they had in common was that they still didn't see exactly what the attackers were doing against them, they didn't know anything except when it was dark in front of them, and the last thing they could feel was the sound of their armored bodies falling to the ground like they were struggling for the last time. Then, like the middle-aged man in Bai Yi, they gradually turned into dry bones. Of course, this is something they will never feel again. Perhaps this was the last luck in their unfortunate fate.
But for the attackers, the nightmare is far from over. After only a few seconds, the dry bones scattered on the ground began to emit bursts of dim red light. Then, these dry bone fragments slowly gathered together, forming a tall skeleton.
The massive skeleton of horses and human trousers was about the height of two people, as muscular as a horse. There was no clothing covering his body other than bones. He, no, can only be described by it now, I'm afraid. In one hand it held a large, unknown sword, larger than the barbarians' swords, and in the other hand a large wooden shield. Although it was wooden, the attackers doubted that their weapons would be able to break through the skeleton troll's defenses. The same goes for its head, which does not have a single piece of flesh covering it. But the huge eye socket flickered with two blue flames, not red. After a week of staring around the attackers with those two blue flames, it let out a loud howl, but four completely different sounds appeared. If any of the attackers were familiar with the five who had just met with bad luck, they would have heard the wails of four of them.
Yes, just four. I don't know if the hunter accidentally missed or did it on purpose, but one of the knights at the back of the five was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe. But it wasn't without any loss, her helmet was knocked off in the attack, revealing a face panicked by great surprise, and blonde hair. It's a woman.
When he saw the panicked and distorted face, the Auxiliary Chancellor exclaimed in disbelief, "Is she the Regent's granddaughter?" and then he looked at the lady who was silent and sighed, and asked with unconcealed joy, "Ma'am, did you know the identity of this man from the beginning?"
"No, I'm just a little curious as to why they sent a woman out. Lady Sigh looked at her masterpiece and said with a smile.
With this, the huge skeleton howled as if it had received some order, and walked towards the nearest cavalry team. During this time, some of the attackers were brave enough to try to attack it, but it only used a wave of its shield to cut the attackers in half. New skeletons were then born from the bodies of the dead attackers, though slightly smaller than the giant skeletons, but armed with long, deadly black knives. Gradually, more and more of the attackers were cut into pieces, and more and more skeletons crawled out of their corpses, and then swung their long black knives at the bodies of the attackers who were not yet dead. While some skeletons have been chopped to pieces by the brave attackers during the battle and recaptured to the earth, new skeletons will soon appear and turn the attackers into their companions.
Finally, the attackers collapsed. Although they had a large cavalry force, although they had five hundred of the Regent's elite private soldiers, and it was the Regent's granddaughter who led the team. But in the face of the undead they had never seen before, any resistance was futile. With no hope of victory, the attackers fled in all directions, and only by escaping here could they gain temporary safety. And as long as they survive, then they will be able to bring the news back to the Regent, so that the Regent will know that the Auxiliary Minister has an evil and terrible undead under his wing. Once the regent told the old emperor the news, then even if the auxiliary minister was a close confidant that the old emperor had cultivated for decades, he would inevitably die. You must know that the old emperor personally ordered that no undead spirit should be allowed to enter the territory of the Danmos Empire, and violators will be dealt with as treason. But the Auxiliary Secretary actually did just that. Therefore, as long as they can escape and bring the news to the regent, then the auxiliary minister will also die.
Looking at the fleeing attackers, Lady Sigh smiled and said softly, "Do you think I'm going to let you escape?" and then she took off her ill-fitting mage robes, revealing her original clothes. Then, taking out a strange-shaped object from the sleeve of his right hand, he pointed it at the dense forest around him, and the attackers who were running around found that their retreat was suddenly gone. The dense forest seemed to be connected in an instant, and although these leaves and branches looked very fragile, no matter how desperate attackers attacked, there was no way to shake them. In a panic, they leaned their backs against the branches and watched their end come.
It was a massacre. The victims of the massacre were nearly a thousand elites personally sent by the regent who had been in high spirits not long ago, and not long ago they felt that there was no problem in solving the small guard in front of them, which only numbered a few hundred men. In advance, they also felt that there was no need to use such a large scale of cavalry and private soldiers, and even felt that it was a bit inhumane to treat the red men under the old emperor so cruelly. But when the giant skeleton appeared, the form changed drastically. They are no longer hunters, but have become prey born from the corpses of their companions. The carnage was not part of the slaughter, they were just as afraid of the huge skeleton as they were the small skeletons all over the ground, and even when they looked at the sighing lady from time to time, their eyes were no longer grateful, but a little repulsive, fearful, and even resentful.
Of course Ms. Sigh knew this, but she didn't care. She watched as she enjoyed the assailants turning into minced flesh and new skeletons were born. Then he satisfied, "Listen, I don't care what you think of me. You asked me to help, and I did. If you're afraid of me because of what you're doing, I don't care. The undead have no heart. ”
An hour later, all the attackers were reduced to minced flesh. The skull gates let out a terrible howl and then collapsed once again, and returned to the earth. After this war, not a single word of corpse was intact except for the corpses of a few convoys. Except that the pieces are still pieces. The guards watched this scene in fear, and unconsciously moved farther and farther away from the lady sighing.
However, the attackers were not left alone, as the granddaughter of the frightened regent was sitting on the ground, her pants stained with a large smear. Her mount had been cut into several pieces in the chaos and she had become one of the skeletons, and now she should have returned to the earth.
Lady Sigh slowly walked up to her and lifted her face so that she had to look into Lady Sigh's eyes. "I wonder why humans would shoot women on battle. “
However, the knightess did not answer her, but muttered and repeated, "You killed them, you killed them all... “
"Yes, I killed them. The Lady Sigh's eyes seemed to brighten, and the corners of her mouth curled in a graceful arc, for no one had known that an undead could smile so well. "But if you don't come against us, they won't die. ”
The female knight's eyes were still glazed and she repeated the words: "You kill them, you kill them all." ”
"Smack. The lady casually slapped the female knight and kicked away a short sword near the female knight: "I know you are pretending, if you are still planning to resist, then I don't mind turning you into my bone slave." In case you don't know, if we like a creature, then we kill her, then we will shave her flesh and skin, and then soak the skeleton in our special potion and wait until a week later, that creature will become a slave to only the person who made it. Of course, whether the creature was male or female, nothing could be seen after the skeleton remained. Are you interested in becoming one of my bone slaves?"
The female knight returned to normal, and she looked at the smiling lady in panic and sighed, and shook her head. "Sure enough, my grandfather was right, none of the undead were good people. “
"Because we're not human at all. Lady Sigh suddenly grabbed the knight by the hair and made her look at her face: "See my ears? Even when I was alive, I was not human." “
"You're an elf?"
"Yes, it used to be. “
"So what? As long as you're undead, you're evil. “
The lady sighed and pulled the knight by the hair to force her to stand before letting go of her hand. He said, "You keep saying that we are evil, but why do you send so many people to kill an old man who is powerless?"
"She?" The female knight stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of the Vice-Chancellor, surprised, "She is an absolute villain, a stumbling block to the development of the Empire. My grandfather said that as long as he exists in the Danmoth Empire, he will be in danger... ”
"So all of this is what your grandfather said? So because of the existence of this extremely evil person, then it is best for his family in the capital far away, as well as the families of these guards, to die?"
The knight shook her head a little dazedly, as if she didn't know what the lady was talking about.
"I didn't spare your life for nothing. Lady Sigh's tone suddenly became cold, and she pulled the female knight's hair again and said coldly, "Tell me, how many more attacks like this will be, and how much trouble we will have along the way." “
The female knight was almost frightened and cried, "I don't know, I just sneaked out." ”
The lady sighed and looked at the female knight with a sneer, her fingers lightly touched the female knight's arm, and in just an instant, the place where the female knight's arm and the lady of the light sigh came into contact became a black patch. "In our world, we're not very good at interrogating living beings. Lady Sigh looked at the dark spots on the female knight's arm, smiled and said, "Even if we capture those captives of the Three Kingdoms, we usually make them into our bone slaves. So, if you're not going to tell me, then there's no need for me to keep you. Do you really think you're going to have the honor of being my bone slave?"
The female knight broke down and cried, "I don't know, I really don't know anything!"
"Look me in the eye. “
"What?" the female knight subconsciously stared at the dark blue eyes of the lady who sighed, and gradually became confused.
Then, the lady sighed casually and pointed to a guard on a war horse behind her, and said in a commanding tone, "You, bring your horse over." Seeing the guard's hesitant look, he impatiently ordered, "Hurry up!"
"Yes, yes... The escort dismounted and led the horses to the lady and the knightess, and ran back to the group in a puff of smoke.
The lady sighed helplessly, then threw the female knight onto the horse, and then patted the horse's buttocks. In this way, the horse galloped away with the female knight in the direction of the capital.
This move took the Auxiliary Minister and his bodyguards by surprise. "Ma'am, you just let her go?"
In this regard, the lady sighed lightly and said coldly: "If you want to die, chase her for so long." “
The Auxiliary Minister immediately shook his head. Then, the Lady sighed with a smile and waved her hand, "Of course it's not that I'm going to kill you, but your adversary, that is, Regent?"
This time, the auxiliary minister did not understand it even more.
Then the lady sighed patiently and explained, "What would the regent do if he knew that her daughter had been killed by us? Of course, I'm not afraid. In addition, you can rest assured, this female knight will never remember what just happened in the future, and every undead has his own specialty. Isn't it?"
