Chapter 568: A Million Undead
"I didn't understand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ Info" Dane said, "Why is it that when the Guardian Heart is destroyed, the Church of the Damned can do whatever it wants?" β
Dane really didn't understand this, isn't the Cursed Church already doing whatever it wants now? They've been like this for years!
Kapnos shook his head and said, "The Central Mountain Range is the backbone of the world of Orodic. From the northernmost part of the continent, the icy ocean rises and the uplifted part forms the Argus Plateau, and the large central mountain system forms to the south. To the north, the mountains nourished the Isel Forest, the Dankins Mountains, which nurtured elves and dwarves, and in the center, the court of Nancy, in the dark jungle, was once at its peak. Further south, is the Broken Dragon Peak. β
"The Central Mountains have been blessed by this world since the earliest times. In other words, the structure of the entire central mountain range is a natural magic array. β
"Can you imagine, Dane? A giant circle that stretches from the northernmost part of the continent to the southernmost part of the world, spanning the north and south of the entire world! β
Hearing Capnos's description, Dane was moved by itβthis is a magnificent pen that only a god can write!
Cap Northston paused, and continued, "Legend has it that the Central Mountains once had seven Guardian Hearts. But in the past history, these guardian hearts have either been lost or destroyed, and until now, as far as we know, the only thing that has really left the world is the 'mountaintop' guarded by our green dragon. β
"And as long as the Heart of Guardianship exists, then the Central Mountain Range and the surrounding areas will always be protected by this Ancient Guardian Array."
"Why do you think the Church of the Damned has been so long after completely corrupting the Nancy Court, why didn't all the Nancy elves be transformed into undead? You know, in the dark jungle, there are more than two million Nancy elves! What kind of catastrophe would it be if all the more than two million Nancy elves were transformed into undead, and then rushed out of the dark jungle and into your human world? What human nation can withstand so many undead in a hurry? β
Dane was silent. Two million undead, that's only a little less than the entire population of the Kingdom of Sindelare, and more than the population of the Duchy of Florence and the entire population of the Kingdom of Pudri. These undead all rushed out, not to mention those small countries, even if it was Sindlaire, even if it was the Holy Empire, it was impossible to resist if it was attacked in a hurry.
If the secret situation that Capnos is talking about really happens, it will be a catastrophe that will sweep the whole world, the moment of the demise of humanity and all intelligent beings.
"The Church of the Damned can't do this, is it because of the existence of the Guardian Heart?"
"In a sense, it does." Kapnos replied in the affirmative, he said, "It is precisely because of the existence of the Guardian Heart, although there is only one left in play, the benefits that this huge circle of the Central Mountain Range can exert are far less than at its peak, but at least the natural force that operates is still blessing the whole world." For example, guarding the souls of living beings. β
"All the undead are essentially dead souls who are called back into this world to act with negative energies and negative emotions. And the souls that are guarded, there is no way to bring them back to life by necromancy. β
Dane suddenly realized and understood, and he said: "So, Kegel and his Church of the Damned, attacking the Green Dragon Mountain, want to destroy the Guardian Heart, the purpose is to invalidate the guardian circle of the Central Mountain Range, so as to disintegrate the guardian circle of the soul of the living and create a huge army of the undead?" β
"Yes." Kapnos smiled bitterly and said, "That's exactly what that vicious lich in Kegel thinks. β
"That's not right, if the Central Mountain Range guards the souls of the living, then why are there so many undead created before?"
Kapnos replied, "If all the Guardian Hearts exist, then under the feet of the Central Mountains, no matter how powerful a wizard is, it is impossible to summon any undead. But it's a pity that there is only one one guardian heart that can play an effective role now. Therefore, the central mountain range can only protect most of the souls, but not all of them. β
Dain accepted Capunos's claim, and although this so-called guardianship of the souls of most living beings eventually led to the Church of the Damned summoning two or three hundred thousand undead from the dark jungle alone, in any case, it was much better than two million undead armies rushing out of the Central Mountains.
But despite this, Dane's face also turned bad, and he said: "If I'm not mistaken, before Kegel died, he said that after Ignir died, you can inherit the duties of the Guardian, but it will take at least a month or two to regain control of the Guardian Heart and make it work, right?" β
"That's right." Kapnos sighed and said, "Yes, even if you inherit your father's memory, it will be very difficult to completely control the heart of protection. It will take me at least a month or more to complete, and now I can only barely rely on the Heart of Guardian to create dragonmen, and at a very slow pace. β
"So......" said Dane, "according to what you said, now that the protection of the super-large guardian array of the Central Mountain Range is temporarily missing, wouldn't the souls of the living beings be exposed to the dark magic of the Cursed Church?" β
"Yes."
"A month's time...... How many undead can the Church of the Curse transform in this month? β
"According to the arrangement made in advance by the Church of the Damned...... They are estimated to be able to awaken a million undead in a month. β
Dane gasped.
Kapnos continued, "That's why I've come to you this time, for every day we've been dragged here gets worse in the Dark Jungle. But there's nothing we can do about it......"
The tone of the new Green Dragon King was very helpless, this matter was already irreversible, and the Cursed Church did not know how much time it had been arranged in the dark jungle, even if Kegel died, this month's time had not been able to disintegrate the arrangements left by the Cursed Church.
The appearance of millions of undead is almost unstoppable.
Kapnos continued, "You, and all the kingdoms of living beings, must be prepared for this catastrophe. β
Dane was silent.
His mind was clear that this matter was not a problem that could be solved with preparation.
