Chapter Seventy-Five: Evil in the Gray Mountains
Who knew that after listening to Levi's words, the Moorish knight Tanato, who was still in high spirits, fell silent all of a sudden.
After a few seconds, he said in a somewhat dry voice, "I'm very sorry to disappoint Your Excellency." I might have been called a glorious knight, but after that defeat, although my life was saved by Your Excellency and the Holy Maiden, my strength has been greatly weakened. ”
But when he looked up at Levi's expression, he found that the other party was not disappointed, but his face was full of concern.
"Why? What's going on? ”
I don't know why, seeing Levi like this, the Moorish knight Tanato, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he briefly told Levi what had happened.
It turned out that he had been one of the garrison knights of the Moorish Garden, which had been defiled by the undead.
Because about half a month ago, in the south of the Gray Mountains, a much more powerful Moorish Garden located in the Dukedom of Paraon issued an urgent summoning order to all the surrounding Moorish Gardens, so the Moorish Knight Tanato followed some Moorish knights and some Moorish priests to the Gray Mountain Range to converge, which was most of their strength in this Moorish Garden.
After they arrived at the important stronghold of the Grey Mountains, the Moorish Knight Tanatoe found that hundreds of powerful Moorish knights had gathered there, as well as a large number of Moorish sacrifices, and the person who initiated this emergency summoning order was the top powerhouse of the Moorish Sect, a powerful Pluto Knight, because they were dealing with a powerful evil creature that had been active for hundreds of years - the Lich Master Kemule!
As believers in the god of the dead, the members of the Moorish Sect can be said to be the most hated undead in the entire world, and all the necromancers are villains who desecrate the dead and drive away the undead, and the Lich Master Kemuller is the best among them, and everyone in the Moorish Sect regards the Lich Master as one of the enemies that should be eliminated the most.
It's just that the whereabouts of the Lich Master have always been secretive, and his strength is very strong, even if ordinary Moorish knights stumble upon him, they are not opponents of the other party at all, but will be killed mercilessly after being played, so the Moorish Sect has never found a suitable opportunity.
But this time, they were given information that after returning from the Far South, the Lich Master had been unexpectedly seriously injured and was now curled up in his Blackstone stronghold that he had taken from the Dwarves to recuperate, which was a great opportunity for the Moorish Sect.
After careful reconnaissance and careful planning, the Moorish elite finally decided to launch a surprise attack on the Blackstone stronghold where the Lich Master Kemuller was located.
At first, their battle was very smooth, and those low-level skeletons, zombies, ghouls, etc., were not worth mentioning in front of them.
Just when the Moorish knights thought things would go so smoothly, they fell into each other's traps, and hordes of undead creatures surrounded them from all sides, including many high-level units of the undead: Revenant Knights, Horror Wolves, Vampires, Horror Beasts, Bloodthirsty Bat Monsters, and even powerful Bone Dragons and Yin Soul Dragons...
But all of this is no match for the powerful necromancer who appeared on the battlefield on the zombie dragon, the Lich Master who is not only not seriously injured, but is much more powerful than the rumored - Heinrich Kemüller!
Although the Moorish knights resisted hard, the situation of the battle did not change because of their will, and a large number of Moorish believers were killed on the spot.
Eventually, the Immortal Knights, who issued the summoning order, ordered some of the young Moorish Knights to break through and inform the major forces around the Grey Mountains of the battle, as the sudden strengthening of the Lich Master Kemuller was an extremely powerful threat to all the factions of Order living near the Grey Mountains.
The reason why the Moorish cult hates it so much, and can't wait to eradicate the Lich Master, is precisely because the Lich Master has always wanted to build a world of the dead, turning all living people into undead, and he will not distinguish between humans, dwarves, or other races in the process.
After issuing the order, the mighty Pluto Knight launched a desperate charge on his own, knowing that he would not win, but he could at least buy the young Moorish knights more time, and it was a way to atone for his mistakes.
And it was at that time that the Moorish knights Tanato, who escaped with two equally young Moorish knights, who were not cowardly or voluntary, but because they were both the most elite young Moorish knights, the Moorish sect needed to keep them as a spark for revenge.
However, their luck was not good, and as they were about to escape from the undead lair, they encountered a powerful vampire lord.
In order to cover Tanato's smooth departure, a Moorish knight stepped forward, but the vampire lord smiled very contemptuously, pierced the opponent's heart with a sword, and at the same time reached out and pointed his finger at Tanato, a huge dark energy instantly eroded Tanato's body.
Despite the fact that all the Moorish knights were trained to fight the forces of death and darkness, Tanato was mortally wounded on the spot. Under the cover of another Moorish knight, he desperately escaped, but he was unconscious in the mountains, and when he woke up again, he found that his strength had plummeted, and the largest Moorish garden in the gray mountains had been completely desecrated by the undead.
In order to live up to the efforts of his companions, he still held on to himself, struggling back to the Moore Garden where he belonged, wanting to tell the priests the results, and convey this dangerous message to the surrounding knight kingdom dukes in time, but who knew that it had also been desecrated by the power of the undead, and he came back too late...
Levi listened to the Moorish knight Tanato's experience with some silence, and he almost knew what was going on.
Seriously injured, and seeing that the place where he lived from childhood to adulthood was also invaded by the undead, the Moorish knight Tanato, who could no longer support it, fainted directly, and then was picked up by himself.
If he hadn't appeared with others, it is estimated that he would have been killed by those undead, and maybe he would also be transformed into an undead, whether he could take revenge in the end, it would definitely be another story. Speaking of which, this is really the luck of the other party.
"So, what are your plans for the future?" Although Levi really wanted to have such a subordinate, after listening to the other party's story, he was a little difficult to speak for a while.
Although their goal is the same, which is to kill the Lich Master Kemule, the Moorish knight Tanato's desire for revenge is so desperate that he will obviously not be able to help the other party achieve his revenge goal in a short period of time.
And because after such a tragedy, Levi had some suspicions that the other party's personality might be distorted to a certain extent due to deep hatred, and he might not be a qualified subordinate who completely obeyed his orders.
Although Levi can understand why the other party has changed like this, it does not mean that he can really accept the other party without any scruples, although the other party's strength may be very strong.
After hearing Levi's question, the Moorish knight Tanato, however, looked very dazed.
Because he hadn't really thought about it except for the anger and hatred in his heart, the only thing he wanted to do was to take revenge, but he knew that even the power he had in his heyday was as insignificant as an ant in front of the Lich Master, let alone his own strength had plummeted now.
By virtue of its own power, the so-called revenge was doomed from the beginning to never be achieved ...
"I..." The Moorish knight Tanato, stunned, looked at his hands wrapped in iron armor, which once contained enough power to shatter the rocks, but now they were so powerless...
But suddenly, he remembered the holy woman of the goddess of the lake who had saved his life, and what he had said inadvertently, and his face immediately became a little excited.
"I heard that Your Excellency has also been working hard to exterminate the abominable undead?"
Levi grinned, "Well, yes, it's true. ”
As for the so-called hearsay, the so-called always, Levi didn't have to think about it, he knew that it must have been revealed to the other party by the holy woman, and maybe he pretended to say it casually, probably to increase the authenticity. However, of course, Levi was not good at denying what the saint had said here, so he had to follow the other party's wishes.
The Moorish knight Tanato, who immediately touched his chest with one hand, bent down and bowed deeply to Levi: "I wonder if Your Excellency, as the chosen hero of God, is willing to accept to follow Your Excellency and take revenge on the hateful undead?" ”
The prompt immediately popped up: "The Moorish Knight Thanato, please become your subordinate and work together to destroy the evil undead."
Note: Due to the Moorish Knight Tanato's curse by a powerful vampire lord, his strength is severely reduced and needs to be re-upgraded, and he needs to regain his original power by exterminating and purifying the undead in addition to conventional means. ”
Then an information panel popped up, which roughly stated the current stats of the Moorish Knight Tanato.
After seeing the series of information clearly, Levi, who still had all kinds of concerns, immediately quickly threw those things aside, because compared to the strength of the other party, those are really not very important!
