Chapter Ninety-Four: The Undead in the City

"Undead?! Bloodsucker?! Yan Xu said with a little surprise.

As a city, it naturally has a temple, and the priest's level is definitely not low, and one of the main responsibilities of the priest is to surpass the undead, all the dead in the city must be purified by the priest before they can be buried, and there will be no such hidden danger left in the city at all, how can a large number of undead suddenly appear?!

"Yes, my lord, a lot of people have died in the knockout tournament recently, because there are many people every day, and most of them are outsiders, so they are parked in a remote warehouse, and then purified by the priest after the game is over, but I didn't expect that all the corpses were lost, and the breath of the undead was also found at the scene, which was determined by the priest of the Temple of Courage." Speaking of which, Harvey's face was full of depression, the guys in the Temple of Courage are powerful enough, but as a priest, it is too bad, otherwise they would not patronize the game without purifying the corpse, resulting in the corpse being undead, and there is no clue at all afterwards.

"What's worse is that the garrison found some dried corpses with blood sucked in some hidden corners during the search, the earliest one is half a year old, and it seems that there are still some vampires lurking in the city." Harvey's face was even more ugly, and at this juncture, there were vampires who had been lurking for an unknown amount of time, and the garrison in charge of the city's security patrol obviously had an unshirkable responsibility.

There were two serious problems in succession, and the Marquis of Bosch was very angry, and strictly ordered the garrison to find out the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise all of them would go to farming, which caused the garrison to be under great pressure. The undead are better, it's hard to cover up just the strong corpse stench, but vampires are in trouble, after all, vampires are like ordinary people when they don't suck blood, it's difficult to distinguish them at night, and they hide during the day, in case they encounter high-level vampires, let alone whether they can be caught, they even have a problem to save their lives.

The undead are not terrible, especially the undead outside the land of the dead, there is no constant replenishment, these guys who even have their brains stinky are ready-made targets, and only those uninformed hillbillies are afraid of those things.

But with a necromancer, it's different, it's equivalent to a group of rangers scattered to get the commander, the barracks, the priest, the more you fight, the more you fight, even if you are defeated, let the undead break off, the necromancer runs away, and as soon as the magic is restored, he is a good man, and soon pulls up an army of undead, the two sides are not a concept at all.

As for vampires, they are bloodsuckers that lurk inside humans, and although they are also undead, it has been difficult to get rid of them because of their consistent appearance and slightly higher appearance. Even in history, there are many high-level vampires who have even become the great nobles of the human race, and even the current human beings dare not guarantee that there are no vampires among the nobles today, so let alone eliminate them, it would be good if they did not continue to grow.

"If it's the undead...... Then I'll join in too. Yan Xu pondered for a moment and decided to join this incident, although he had no hostility towards the mastermind behind the scenes, but after all, his current identity was a jealous and hateful paladin, and it would be strange if he didn't make a move when he encountered this kind of thing, not to mention that he was also very interested in necromancers.

"It would be great if there was a Paladin-sama to help! I can't thank you enough! Harvey really breathed a sigh of relief, because of the marquis's anger, the people above were going crazy, he was the most stressed layer as a squad leader, after all, there were ordinary garrison members below, and no matter how big the marquis's anger was, he couldn't vent his anger on them, and above was the squadron leader and the captain, they were the most dangerous, and they could be taken out as scapegoats by the city defense adjutant in charge of the garrison at any time, and naturally they desperately squeezed the squad leader below.

There is a paladin joining, he has no merit and hard work, as long as there are no major mistakes in the future, he can be regarded as avoiding this catastrophe.

"I'll come as soon as I go, and you guys should also pay attention to this matter, it's not a trivial matter for the undead to appear in the city." Yan Xu took out a full set of equipment, he had a hunch that he was going to do a big job this time, he always felt that this matter was not so simple, so he said to the two of them to see if they had any information.

"My lord, I'll have someone check it out right away." Mogg picked up his sword and said solemnly.

Although the Green Cloak is a thief organization, in recent years it has gradually shifted its focus to intelligence and the sale of stolen goods, so that the overly chaotic city also has a certain impact on their business, not to mention that the undead are the enemies of all living beings, and they will not take care of the Green Cloak's business.

Yan Xu nodded, took out the thunder-patterned wildebeest that everyone admired with a spear, and let the garrison lead the way.

As the base camp of the Bosch family, Bose City not only has a 500-person city defense battalion, but also a 300-person garrison battalion, which is in charge of the city defense and city defense chief and adjutant.

Obviously, Marquis of Boss wanted to keep them in check, after all, except for the two hundred guards of the Lord's Palace, these two battalions were already the largest armed force in Bose City, and no lord could sit still if they colluded.

The Murrick knight of the garrison camp is in the prime of his thirties, with a manly charm and a very neat mustache, even if he sits with a frown in front of the wide table full of documents waiting to be processed, it still attracts the little girl who is responsible for delivering the documents with little stars in her eyes, if it weren't for the heavy atmosphere in the office, she will definitely find a way to stay a little longer, but soon her wish came true, because a garrison member urgently asked to see, the little girl knocked on the door of the office again with brisk steps.

"A high-ranking paladin, there is finally good news." Merrick rubbed his eyebrows, he had already been tossed by the bastards in the Temple of Courage, and a large group of people couldn't even perceive the breath of the undead, are you still a priest, do you take all the time you pray to practice martial arts!?

The thought of the bald men covered in muscles, Murrick, gave me a headache, but remembered that there was another paladin outside, and he tidied up his clothes, which were still clean and tidy despite his busyness, and prepared to go out to greet him.

Merrick is a charismatic person, and he is very good at receiving people and things, otherwise he would not be allowed to sit in the garrison camp, which is equivalent to the position of the chief of public security. Therefore, even if the other party's level was not determined, he still received Yan Xu in front of the garrison camp, and cordially introduced some situations in the garrison camp to him, so as to eliminate the feeling of strangeness, which was quite skillful, and did not give people a deliberate feeling at all.

If it weren't for the low success rate of poaching, Yan Xu would have the heart to pull him to his territory, not only for public security, but also for diplomatic reception or something. Even if there is no possibility of poaching, the establishment of a garrison camp that has been established for decades still makes him gain a lot, Yan Xu has secretly begun to design his own garrison camp in his heart, after all, with the increase in population, the garrison responsible for managing public security is indispensable.

"Tyson Paladin, all we receive at the moment is bad news, except for your arrival." Taking Yan Xu to his office, Merrick poured him a glass of red wine and pointed to a large pile of documents on the table and said with a wry smile.

"Any clues?" Gently took a sip of red wine, there was no bitter dry mouth that the earth had drunk, but it was very soft, and the taste was slightly sweet, Yan Xu nodded slightly, took another sip and asked.

"In addition to the dozens of corpses of contestants in the warehouse, more than a hundred corpses were also dug up from the mass graves outside the city, and at the same time, in the process of searching, a total of hundreds of dried corpses were found in abandoned cellars, stinky ditches, dry wells and other places, and I don't know how many were not found, the earliest one of them has been more than half a year, according to our calculations, there are at least ten vampires lurking in the city, and the worst thing is that we have no in-depth clues at all." Although he already knew these data, after saying it again, Merrick still pinched his brows, which was a bit rude, but it also showed his situation better.

The garrison team is not only responsible for maintaining law and order, but also for solving cases and everything, so there is also a team of thieves directly under the management of Merrick, not only to provide him with intelligence, but also responsible for finding clues on the scene to help solve the case or something. However, the other party obviously also has the help of fellow thieves, plus they are either mages or vampires, all of them have their own means, so there are few clues left, and the rest can only be checked little by little from the complex daily information to see if they can find the flaws left by the other party.

However, this method is very time-consuming, and what they lack most is time, and the Marquis of Bosch will not forgive them for their dereliction of duty because of the difficulty.

They don't have any clues, and Yan Xu has no choice, so he finally proposed to go to the warehouse where the body was lost to see if he could find some clues, but thinking about the fact that this world has no protection scene, it is estimated that there is little hope. This is Yan Xu underestimated them, thieves are criminal experts and the best trackers and protectors, powerful nobles will not only raise a group of knights like iron cans, but also hire and train some thieves to protect themselves, and at the same time prevent assassination.

The warehouse as a temporary morgue is not far from the knight's arena, after all, it is also for convenience, but it is not close to rushing from the garrison, in order to arrive before the sun sets, Merrick did not bring a subordinate, and rode with Yan Xu and the others.

The warehouse is relatively remote, and it is not good if it is not remote, no one wants to stay with a large number of corpses, even if it is not taboo, it can't stand the smell.

Now the warehouse was not guarded by a lame old man, as was the case before, but two heavily armed guards, who were now quietly explaining something to a few bald men in priest's robes, and they were about to cry when they looked at them.
