Volume 1: The Second Coming (Remastered) Chapter 38: The Tamil Rebellion (1)
The next day, Yu Bin went to the school to go through the suspension procedures. The college's dean of instruction and Yu Bin's former class tutor tried to dispel this idea, but in the end, Yu Bin had to agree with his strong insistence.
After Yu Bin, who had been completely liberated, returned to the world of Entagre, he began to think about where he should go there to upgrade his level next.
A series of battles in the Mausoleum of Disama not only allowed Yu Bin to gain a lot of experience points, his level was increased to level 47, and the equipment on his body was also greatly updated. The armor from the black warrior replaced those rudimentary tabula rasa equipment, giving Yu Bin a new look all over his body. This has made Yu Bin's strength have improved a lot, and he can go to some more dangerous places to upgrade.
In addition to crusading against the temple, the Undead Warrior Guild, the Witchcraft Association, the Imperial Witchcraft Research Institute and some temples will occasionally post some tasks on the bulletin board outside the door, these tasks are generally similar to the requirements of capturing specific creatures or providing certain items, and the remuneration is not high for the aborigines, but for players, being able to do some tasks by the way in addition to leveling up can also be regarded as a way to make full use of time.
After taking over several tasks from the Witchcraft Association to acquire materials without limit, Yu Bin began to think about where it would be appropriate to collect them. What Yu Bin needs to collect is the essence of white bones, blackened nails, and flesh essence.
Bone essence is the part of the bones or broken bone fragments left by some skeleton undead after death, skeleton undead will use the power of death to strengthen their bones, so as to improve the body's defense ability, and some parts that have been strengthened can still rely on the death power contained in the soul fire to remain strong for a long time after the soul fire disappears, instead of becoming a pile of bone meal like osteoporosis. Although the death power contained in this bone residue is not comparable to that of pure death crystals, due to its low cost, it is an important ingredient for low-level necromancers to cast spells and concoct potions to replace expensive death crystals. As a result, the Bone Essence has been one of the items that the Witchcraft Society has acquired in large quantities.
Blackened nails come from zombies and ghouls, and the nails of zombies or ghouls with good hardness are used by necromancers to make some common but unimportant equipment, due to the corrosive nature of necromancer, this equipment has always had a high attrition rate, and some wealthy necromancers will use iron ore that has been preliminarily refined by the power of death as a raw material, but most necromancers still use this cheap material.
Flesh Essence is a bit more difficult to obtain, as it comes from some Rotten Beasts or Flesh Golems, but some advanced forms of Zombies and Ghouls can also drop it. This material is used in large quantities as an additive and is one of the main materials used by the undead to make negative energy potions (recovery potions for the undead).
It is not very difficult to collect these materials, but it is more troublesome, few aboriginal undead are willing to waste time to go to the field to collect these things, their main source is the war that takes place on the border, the logistics officers of the undead army will collect this low-level material by the way when cleaning the battlefield, sell it in large quantities to the Witchcraft Society, and then sell it to those necromancers who need it through the association's internal channels.
Yu Bin was picking a destination in the teleportation list, and he had to find a suitable place, preferably a place that would not only meet his upgrade needs, but also allow him to collect these materials along the way.
This is very difficult, generally a large number of skeletons, zombies and ghouls can appear in a large number of monsters are either deep in the undead inland, or located on the border of constant war, the former because of the long period of peace, the level of the monster is either outrageously high, or it is pitiful low, it is by no means a suitable place to upgrade, and the danger of the latter is not low, although this kind of war that occurs on the border will not be the kind of fight of tens of thousands of people, but relying on Yu Bin's current small body, even if it is just a skirmish of thousands of people, it is enough for him to drink a pot, Once you are involved, every minute is the result of being killed in seconds.
Compared to other races, the undead are perhaps the most frequent wars. Due to the nature of the power of death, the lifeless land of the dead spreads at a slow rate every moment, which makes the creatures living in neutral areas close to the territory of the undead have to stand up and fight, hoping to prevent their homes from becoming sacrifices of death. As a result, the undead clash with those guys almost every day, and sometimes even expand into war due to the addition of the Order faction. This situation is not immune, neither the oldest Dia Empire nor the newly founded Felta Empire.
After searching to no avail, Yu Bin came to the Felta Empire through the teleportation array. Compared to Dia, Felta was more desperate to expand her territory, with only four provinces completely unable to meet the needs of the undead nobles, who desperately craved more land and resources, as well as corpses that could be enslaved by them. But at the same time, in addition to the two provinces of Fairman and Talen that have been transformed by the forces of death, the provinces of Simbis and La Rodos are still in the transformation stage, and there are many local creatures hiding in all corners of the provinces, relying on the complex environment to resist stubbornly, which makes the Felta Empire have to invest part of its strength in the two provinces in order to speed up the transformation. Therefore, it is more likely that the Felta Empire will have a leveling place that meets Yu Bin's requirements.
While browsing the teleportation list of the Felta Empire, a name jumped into his eyes - Deathknell Town!
The name brought back some vague memories for Yu Bin, and as the memories deepened, the long-term memories became clearer and clearer.
This is a name that was once widely sung among players in a previous life! It can be said that this seemingly inconspicuous undead town has almost affected the fate of hundreds of millions of people, and at the same time, it has also made players feel the coldness and horror of the undead for the first time.
"Deathknell Town! Raven Ridge! Fallen Paladin Moradim! The Flame of Light and the Sky City of Giant Fireworks! Yu Bin's eyes shone brightly, and the fragments of memory finally turned into a complete pattern with continuous splicing, allowing Yu Bin to peek into a trace behind the big event in his previous life.
Yu Bin quickly searched the teleportation list for the superior territory to which Deathknell Town belongs, such a town is basically affiliated with a small nearby city, and is usually responsible for managing some small villages around it, and at the same time developing and collecting various resources to support the development of the city to which it belongs.
"There it is! Forster City! I'll see, well, this is the southern part of the province of La Rodos, and it's a direct territory of the Empire! No wonder! Yu Bin looked at the brief introduction of Forster City, and said to himself, "This makes sense, everyone thought that the battle was an opportunity for players to make a difference, I'm afraid no one knows that the king of the Death Knight has already planned everything, and quietly watched those fools jump into this trap!" If it weren't for the Bright Sect finally and decisively setting off a big firework in Sky City, I'm afraid that the outcome of the subsequent faction war would have been completely changed! ”
Unlike the aristocratic feudal system implemented by the Dia Empire, the Felta Empire implemented a military merit sub-feudal system, and the Emperor Geltrod, who relied on the army to establish the Felta Empire, set a policy of exchanging military merit for land at the beginning of the founding of the country. And relied on military merit to obtain the qualification to establish a territory on the newly occupied land. In the following two thousand years, the Felta Empire continued to extend its claws to the surrounding neutral areas, and in this way, the Empire obtained an elite army that was not large but had good combat power. This is one of the reasons why the Ferta Empire was able to resist the pressure of the two old empires.
With the exception of some important areas of the two provinces, Emperor Geltrod gave more than eighty percent of the land to the high-ranking undead who had made military achievements, and quickly created a group of military nobles, and the city of Forster was one of the few remaining territories directly belonging to the empire.
Yu Bin came to Forster City through the teleportation array, and when he walked out of the teleportation array and walked towards the city hall located in the center of the city, he subconsciously felt that the atmosphere in the city was a little strange, as if something major had happened, many undead were in a hurry, and even the city guards, who were almost invisible in ordinary times, began to patrol the streets.
When he walked to the square in front of the city hall and saw the notice posted on the bulletin board, he realized what had happened to him, and I have to say that it was a well-arranged coincidence.
"The Tamil Viscount whose territory is adjacent to the city of Forster rebelled, and attacked Forster with his army, and was just repelled by the city guards a few hours ago, and the Emperor Geltrod sent reinforcements after learning about it, and gave the order to attack, and the main force of the city guards has gone with reinforcements to chase down the retreating Tamil, so soldiers were temporarily recruited in the city to help defend the city and prevent accidents!" Yu Bin looked at the notice on the bulletin board, but what he was thinking about was the follow-up development of this incident.
If nothing happens, the rebellious Viscount Tamil and his troops would have retreated to the Netherwind Vale near Deathknell, where they were completely routed by the Imperial forces that had received reinforcements after holding out for more than a month on the treacherous terrain of the Vale. The scattered rout spread around the Valley of the Winds, and the Imperial army, eager to go to the border for reinforcements, did not have time to clear out these remnants of the defeated army, so they had to let the garrison of Deathstroke take on this task.
In order to reduce the losses, and because of the large number of players entering the world of Entagre, the mayor of Deathstroke Town handed over this task to several player guilds who were active in this area at the time, and the players who accepted the task happily attacked everywhere, which naturally alarmed the fallen paladin Moradim, who was sleeping on Raven Ridge.
This news was leaked to the human side, and the Holy See of Light, which had been looking for Moradim for a long time, sent an elite army of players, and under the cover of some undead players, successfully entered Raven Ridge and recaptured the Holy Flame of Light that he had stolen from Moradim.
The Flame of Light is an extremely important relic of the Holy See of Light, it is the crystallization of power condensed after the death of the first God of Light, which can not only provide users with a steady stream of light power, but also be the source of energy to activate the Sky City. However, during a war nearly 100 years ago, the fallen Paladin Moradium stole the Flame of Light, causing the Holy See to lose this important artifact.
Rejoicing in the retrieval of the holy relics, the Holy See of Light couldn't wait to activate the long-sealed Sky City again, but unfortunately, the contaminated Light Flame not only made the Sky City out of control, but even showed signs of turning into a source of death, in order to prevent the situation from worsening, the then Pope Germephis XI reluctantly made the decision to detonate the Sky City, and this large air fortress city known as the City of Miracles turned into a brilliant firework.
This is the big event that involved hundreds of millions of players in the previous life, Yu Bin was still accompanying Lei Fatzi to upgrade everywhere, so he didn't participate, but all kinds of rumors inevitably drifted to Yu Bin's ears. From the Fallen Knights on Raven Ridge, to the elite players going deep into the enemy's lair, to the city in the sky, and finally the unprecedented fireworks, it can be said that this is the only major event that players have been deeply involved in in the early days of entering the world of Entagre.
On the surface, the reason for the destruction of the Sky City was the negligence of the Holy See of Light itself, with the loss of the Sky City, the influence of the Holy See of Light among the human race has decreased significantly, and the entire Orderly camp has also suffered a lot of losses, but there are still some players who speculate that all this is the undead playing tricks in the dark. This claim was once very popular, but it was eventually forgotten because there was no evidence.
But this time, when Yu Bin looked back at the development of all these things again, several questions appeared in his mind.
First of all, if it weren't for the rebellion of the Tamil, who is the Viscount, there wouldn't have been anything that happened next, Raven Ridge is the most remote and barren place near Deathtown, there isn't even a single creep there, and the player wouldn't have wasted time going to that place if it weren't for the pursuit of the routs. And why would a viscount suddenly rebel? You must know that becoming an undead nobleman means dedicating a part of your soul fire to the emperor of the empire to show your complete allegiance, so the royal family of the three major undead empires can be said to have a very strong control over the lords of various places, and it is almost impossible to rebel. What caused a viscount to rebel at the risk of being destroyed by the fire of his soul?
Secondly, even a person like Yu Bin, who is not good at military operations, can see from the map that Tamil's retreat to the Valley of the Winds is a very incomprehensible behavior, and his best choice is to retreat to his territory immediately after the failure of the attack, relying on the logistical support of the territory and waiting for the change of events, rather than going in the opposite direction and eventually leading to being besieged in the Jedi of the Valley of the Winds.
In the end, it was the Imperial counterinsurgency army that left in a hurry without even bothering to clear the rout. For the Felta Empire, being able to quickly mobilize troops to quell the rebellion after the Tamil rebellion meant that the fighting on the border was not fierce, otherwise the reinforcements would not have arrived in Forster City so quickly, and even in order to attack the Valley of the Wind, the empire also sent additional reinforcements. But why, after defeating the rebels, did the Imperial army leave in a hurry without even caring about the follow-up purge? Yu Bin believes that there is only one reason, and that is that one of Dia or Sa Anlote forced the Felta Empire to send this counterinsurgency force to the front line for reinforcements.
If that's the case, then it's all intriguing! What exactly is the purpose of the Tamil rebellion? What kind of inside story is behind that big event in the previous life? All this made Yu Bin want to find out!
