Chapter 701: The Long Night Is Coming
"What's going on?" In the palatial palace, a fat Grand Duke looked at the projected scene in front of him with an ugly face, showing the recent scene at the entrance to the cave of the dead in his country.
The black mist of dead air visible to the naked eye gushed out from the entrance of the cave, and although it was sizzled by the sunlight in the sky and purified at a speed visible to the naked eye, the dead air gushing out of the entrance of the cave was more than evolved by the sunlight.
It can be clearly seen that some undead under the cover of death gas, launched a charge against the legion stationed next to the entrance of the cave, because of the nourishment of the dead qi and become extremely strong, after experiencing a spell bombardment with the army mage group, they engaged in a white-knuckle battle with the garrison legion, the scene was extremely tragic.
It was a common sight for the entrance of the Cave of the Undead to rush out of the undead to attack the garrison legions, but it was a scene that only happened when the moon hung high in the night sky at nightfall.
What was supposed to happen after dark was unfolded in front of the Grand Duke's eyes, but it was a scene that happened when the sun was shining. The Grand Duke remembered that he had never heard of a single incident of an undead storming the garrison during the day, but now he saw it.
Then the panic arose in his heart, and when the things he was accustomed to suddenly changed, he would have this emotion, even if he was a high-powered Grand Duke, the scene in front of him made the Grand Duke realize that something was out of his control.
"Your Majesty, it's not just the garrison corps that has been impacted, the adventure group that entered the undead cave during this time, less than a thousand people have returned alive at present, at all, their report, the undead in the undead cave have now become extremely violent, and their strength has skyrocketed, even if it is an ordinary skeleton, the body is as hard as steel. ”
"What happened to the Cave of the Dead?" asked the Archduke, who was a little fat, with a pale face, and a very bad premonition appeared in his heart, knowing a lot of secrets.
"For this anomaly, compared with ancient sources, our preliminary conclusion is that the undead natural disaster is about to erupt. ”
"What are you kidding?" Dagong's face instantly turned pale, he stood up, a strange flush appeared on his face, and he looked extremely angry, "Are you fooling me? Think I don't know? The Undead Plague broke out once eight hundred years ago, and there are at least two hundred years before the next outbreak, how can it break out now." ”
"But Your Majesty, this is indeed the abnormal movement before the outbreak of the undead natural disaster, when the undead natural disaster is about to break out, those low-level undead living in darkness dare to rush out of the surface during the day and attack the human race. ”
"How can this be?" The Grand Duke sat on the throne behind him with a somewhat dazed expression, as a ruling class, he naturally had a good cultivation talent, but the talent was basically useless when it reached the soul intent level.
So he is now around the gold level, and this kind of strength is basically enough for the ruler of the human kingdom, and it is not a problem to rule the kingdom for hundreds of years.
He had already calculated, and when the undead disaster broke out two hundred years later, he had almost abdicated, and the grass on his grave had grown into a tree, so he didn't have to worry about it at all, it was his son who should be worried. After his death, he doesn't care about the flood, now he just needs to maintain the situation in the country, and then enjoy it every day! After all, life is too short, so why not have fun in time?
But now someone actually told him that the natural disaster of the undead would actually break out during his reign, and once the natural disaster broke out, he would still play a fart! As the Grand Duke, he must stand up and coordinate everything, and even at the most dangerous moment when the country is facing the most danger, he will stand at the forefront, and if he wants to wear the crown, he will bear its weight.
He enjoyed the best offerings of the people of the whole principality, and when the time of danger came, he had to stand up, even if he didn't want to, but his education told him that he had to do it, for the glory of the Grand Duke.
"What about other countries? Is this true in other countries? If this is the only one in our principality, it is only an accidental phenomenon, and it does not mean that it is a precursor to a natural disaster. The Grand Duke, whose face was not very good, looked at his court mage with a hint of hope.
"Your Majesty, it's a great pity that we have contacted the mages of other countries before reporting to you. When asked, the chief mage of the court replied very naturally, for a grand duke who only knew how to covet pleasure, of course, he had to investigate everything thoroughly before reporting it, otherwise, what orders could this grand duke be expected to give?
"This is not the only thing that has happened in our country, but the rest of the country as well, where the low-level undead rushed out during the day and attacked the garrison legions. ”
"Well, I see. The face of the Grand Duke, who was originally a little pale, and even angry, gradually returned to normal, and gradually returned to the majesty that a Grand Duke should have, "Inform the whole country, give the order to prepare for war!" Order the attendants to prepare armor and weapons for me, the long night is coming, I will fight with my principality until the last moment." ”
"Obey Your Majesty's Imperial Decree!" Hearing the solemn words of the Grand Duke, who was originally greedy for pleasure, the court mage who came to report was stunned, looked at the somewhat fat Grand Duke sitting above, and suddenly recalled in his mind what this Grand Duke looked like when he first ascended the throne, that is, he was not so fat, he was still an ambitious, ambitious young man, and then he slowly became a fat man who only knew how to enjoy sitting on it.
......
When the undead cave underwent a different change from usual, the various countries of the Obisto subcontinent reacted accordingly at the first time, and the time span of a thousand years was too long for the short-lived species of human beings.
What happened 800 years ago is like a legend for the vast majority of human beings, but this kind of natural disaster that affected the entire continent will never be forgotten by the top powerhouses of mankind.
So, for a moment, the entire Obisto subcontinent was quiet, all strife disappeared, all wars were called halted, and the rulers of various countries tacitly withdrew the legions originally stationed on the border.
In the face of a real natural disaster that will affect the entire continent, what is the value of the grievances between the state? Moreover, at such a time, if there are still rulers who do not know whether they are alive or dead, and still want to play infighting, they will be liquidated at the first time.
The Undead Scourge is aimed at all living beings on the continent, no matter what race you are, no matter who you are, there is no difference in front of the undead who hate all living beings.
......
"The undead scourge is about to break out!" When all the countries of the Obisto subcontinent gathered their forces and prepared for war, waiting for the natural disaster to come, Muria, who was practicing in Sinapus, also received the news, and along with the news came a letter for help from the church. This is a joint letter of help from all the churches on this continent.
"Do you ask me to help some countries as I see fit, when the Scourge of the Dead breaks out? There were no mandatory demands or proposals, just a very calm tone pleading with Muria to help.
"Your Highness, if you are willing to help, we will give you a generous gift. In the council chamber, a cardinal archbishop dressed in a gold-studded red robe and armor spoke up.
"If I'm not mistaken, the undead plague of Obisto erupts every thousand years, and the next outbreak should be about two hundred years away. ”
"Your Highness, the so-called thousand-year outbreak is just a misinformation, the thousand-year is just an approximate estimate, natural disasters erupt, sometimes later, sometimes earlier. However, this time the natural disaster did break out too much earlier, and we were not ready for it. Or rather, no preparation at all. ”
The cardinal archbishop who came to ask for help shook his head with a wry smile and explained. "Although the countries on the mainland began to prepare after discovering the signs of a natural disaster, this time it was too sudden, and we had a buffer time of between ten and fifty years before each natural disaster broke out. ”
It is precisely because of this that the strong people living on this continent have begun to look for all external forces, and Muria and his Sinapus have naturally become their key targets for help.
"When the undead natural disaster broke out, there was naturally no problem in rescuing some human civilians. After a moment of silence, Muria nodded slowly, for some reason, he was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, he felt that the outbreak of the undead disaster this time might have something to do with him, maybe it was the reason why he dug up Barbossa's lair. But how can a great lich possess such terrifying abilities?
