Many years ago, one hundred and five years ago in the year of Hibiscus (449 in the continental calendar), the Elantt Kingdom built the huge Somado Stone Bridge, and at the same time, Dir, the country of the dead in the underworld, also launched a revolution from top to bottom-

The impact of this change is quite far-reaching, and its earliest proponents were the Lich faction led by His Majesty Mordi Gregory, the Lord of the Scourge-

Since the birth of the Ring of Bones Council, the rigid and hierarchical system of the past has been gradually abandoned in favor of an open and liberal atmosphere.

His Majesty Gregory, Lord of the Scourges, also became the first Speaker of the Bone Ring Council.

He said of this change: There are enough brainless dead people in Diar, but if this sleepy ancient country wants to complete a great revival, high-quality, independent thinking citizens are the foundation and cornerstone of everything.

Ghouls, skeletons, zombies, and other underclass races have since been freed from their near-slave status, and they have been free from a moment on.

After a hundred years, the most significant change is that the average strength of the various races of the undead has increased significantly.

So, even in the noble capacity of a member of the Angus Rosenthal Bone Council, it is necessary to recruit people to fight the war through a legal process -

After explaining the cause and purpose of this war, his eyes scanned back and forth at the last twenty interviewees.

The focus of his gaze mainly fell on the skeleton Sask and a lich, the two of whom were the only two awakened level powers in the audience.

"Lord Rosenthal, the Elantes are not to be feared, they suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Tassia not long ago, and their poor performance has proven their weakness."

The lich was wearing a black cloak, and his figure was similar to that of Angus, and he bowed slightly, and said with his right hand on his chest, his tone seemed to be convinced, "I swear by the fire of my soul that I will definitely hand over a result that satisfies you." ”

The soul fire oath, for the dead, is almost equivalent to a human being gambling with his own life. The lich didn't speak quickly, but word by word, with great firmness.

"Your name?"

Angus asked, standing in front of him.

"Melville, from the Valley of Grey."

"Oh, so you were once my lord?"

Hearing that the lich reported his origins, Angus couldn't help but feel a little more interested-

As a powerful high-ranking lich, he was once lord of the Grey Silent Valley, but as a supporter of His Majesty Gregory and the backbone of the Lich faction, he obeyed the proposal of the Bone Ring Council and officially relinquished control of the realm since the change of the Year of Hibiscus, but to some extent, the dead of the Grey Silent Valley still regarded this lich as their lord.

He nodded at satisfaction with Melville, the lich, and a hoarse crow-like laugh came out of his throat.

Moving away, he came to the skeleton Sask again, he had already noticed the difference of this skeleton, the soul fire looked at each other, he stared at the skeleton's silver-white skeleton, and before he could open his mouth to communicate, he had gently bowed his head-

The starting point of the strength of the skeleton race is extremely low, and being able to reach the first stage of awakening at least proves that the person in front of him is by no means a mediocre person.

"Sask."

"Lord Rosenthal."

Angus had already clearly revealed the meaning of the examination, and Saskar did not dare to be too slow, he was polite and listened with his ears cleaned.

"Do you have any thoughts on this war?"

"A temptation."

"Huh?"

"The test of the strength and will of those human nobles, unlike the war between humans, they have a deeper hostility towards the dead, and we must quickly and decisively open the situation......"

"Excellent! Well, the main general of this war will be Sask, and Melville will be the deputy. ”

Angus admired the mutant skeleton from the bottom of his heart, and the second half of his sentence was addressed to the others—golden soul fire fluttering in the sunken eye sockets of the skull, and soon the dead bowed in unison.

……

This is the starting point of the game's historical "Black Blade" Sask's fame, but this time he may meet a different opponent.

The third day of the New Year's festival.

The winter snow finally stopped, and the light between the mountains and forests seemed to brighten all of a sudden, and the gloom was swept away, and Gross and his fellow bandits stood on the wide flat ground in the middle of the Ampton mines, looking out at the scenery in the distance—

The sky is as clear as a flawless crystal, and the white clouds are floating like silk, and under this, the evergreen tall trees in the mountains and forests have shed the snow on the top of the crown, revealing a vibrant greenery.

"It's time for us to go."

Gross, the leader of the bandits, said. Standing beside him, Scott, Oliver, and Levine nodded in unison, and the sturdy lads shouted excitedly—

According to the plan, they are about to set off to attack the lair of the Brute Bear bandits.

"Where's Ladia?"

Oliver asked, and it seemed that he had rarely seen the mage lady in recent times.

"She's still in the house."

"Hey, chief, guys?"

Levin looked at Gross and chuckled wickedly—the bandit leader glared at him viciously, and turned toward his house.

In the past two days, Miss Mage's interest has finally shifted away from alchemy, and she has begun to immerse herself in the spell attempt of "elemental transformation", and as far as Gross knows, at the power level of the middle level, the legal profession can usually only master one super-magic specialty-

In addition to "mana control", she has also learned "elemental transformation", as for the awakening first-order power symbolized by the blue flame?

All in all, there are many doubts in this girl.

Although the name of Latea Klein is not well-known in the history of previous games, Gross has already guessed her origin more than once-

But they don't have to think about it so much now, because they are about to leave.

This attack on the Brute Bear Bandits is not only literal, but they also have the intention of "doves occupying the magpie's nest". The elderly, including the children, had packed their belongings and loaded them on several wagons.

Strips of air-dried meat, pickled cabbage in clay pots, carcasses of wild boars and stag that had been spared blood, old wooden cabinets, and dismantled bed boards......

It looks like moving.

As Gross said, they were indeed planning to move this time - the arrival of nobles and mercenaries had made the Ampton mines no longer safe, and they did not have enough defenses at the moment.

If you can't provoke it, can't you still hide it?

"Uncle York, this cabinet is really heavy."
