The rapidly deteriorating situation in the kingdom of Pudri is beyond anyone's imagination. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoNo one could have predicted that the invasion of just three or four thousand undead would eventually evolve into such a result.

The human world cannot accept that a large country like Pudri has been completely attacked by the undead. Even less than a year ago, Dane, who was still in a state of hostility with the Kingdom of Pudri, did not want to see such a scene, let alone the Holy Alliance.

The Holy New Empire of Promi, which has always liked to stay out of regional conflicts and provoke trouble but rarely end up in person, panicked. His Holiness finally realized that the situation in Pudri could not be allowed to deteriorate any longer. The Holy Legion stationed on the southeastern border was urgently dispatched, and more than 20,000 Imperial warriors, led by a general named Wymir, quickly entered the territory of Pudri, ready to set out to deal with the undead chaos.

At the same time, another country bordering the kingdom of Pudri, the Kingdom of Victoria, could not afford to be completely overrun by the undead. They also sent 20,000 men to enter the kingdom of Pudri to solve the problem.

The armies of the two countries came from the west and from the north.

The army of the Holy Empire rushed directly towards the Silver and White Capital, and they did not encounter any trouble along the way, after all, the Silver and White Capital was still there, and the large land of Pudri to the west of the Silver and White Capital was still safe for the time being.

As for the Victorian army, it was not so lucky.

Duke Vashared is the commander of the Victorian army, and he has two other capacities, one is the chief of the Victorian Order, and the other is the eldest son of King Victoria, the first in line to the throne of the kingdom.

At the same time, he is also a legendary paladin. Once known as the youngest legendary powerhouse in the Orodick Continent, the legend who was only thirty-four years old was indeed very genius and extremely rare. Of course, now this title has been snatched away by Dane.

Although Vasared has two younger brothers and four younger sisters, no one thinks that there will be any doubts about the choice of the next King Victoria. It is no exaggeration to say that just now, Vassared's reputation in Victoria is three points more prosperous than that of his father, His Majesty Havian.

For the past few years, Vashared has been fighting in the East, on the front lines of the war against the orc tribes. The reason why the Victorians hurriedly sent the first commander of Victoria, the first knight, and the crown prince to lead an army of 20,000 people into Pudri, in addition to the covenant of the Holy Alliance, the main reason is that the undead have effectively threatened the safety of the kingdom.

Pudri is just south of the Kingdom of Victoria, and the two countries share a border. Moreover, just looking at the area under the control of the Cursed Church now, it has actually included part of the border between Pudri and Victoria. Even the border guards of Victoria have sensed that there are small groups of undead infiltrating the kingdom.

This is something that Victorians must never allow.

Defending against enemies abroad has always been a strategy of the Victorians. This is how they dealt with the orcs, and when the undead appeared in the south of the kingdom, they intended to do the same.

In fact, for the Kingdom of Victoria, they are the party that cannot accept the complete fall of Pudri into the hands of the undead. In itself, it is already a very hard thing for them to fight against the orcs in the east all year round, and if the southern part of the kingdom is unstable, it will be a big trouble.

Although the Kingdom of Victoria is a traditional military power, after all, they do not have the background of the Holy Empire, and it is impossible to withstand high-intensity battles in two directions, which will drag down their national strength. Although the Victorians can fight much more than Purdry and Florence, if the military strength is excluded, in terms of pure national strength, they may not be as strong as the Kingdom of Purdry, and they will be similar to Florence if they die.

So, after the Holy Empire was planning to end up in person, the Victorians finally couldn't help it, and wanted to take action in person to eliminate the spread of the Church of the Damned in their south.

The vast majority of the forces of the undead in Pudri are in the west, near the Silver and White Capital, and the defense of the north is not very tight. Duke Vasarede's troops, advancing very quickly.

Looking at the current situation, it seems that everything has changed in the direction that it has thought about. In the Silver and White Capital, there are still 20,000 regular troops. The Holy Empire has 20,000 men rushing to help; Vasared's army was ready to take the back of the undead army. As long as the three armies work together to wipe out this undead army that has broken into the Pudri Kingdom, it should be just around the corner.

This news made even Dane, who was sitting in the White Wolf Castle, feel a little more relaxed. He didn't have to worry that his defense line in the Iron Horse Grip would be under too much pressure after Pudri was finished, he just had to find a way to beat the Cursed Church back.

However, before anyone could be happy for two more days, a shocking news came - the Silver and White City had been breached!

……

New Caesar calendar, August 16, 222, the army of the undead breached the gates of the Silver and White Capital.

The next day, the undead broke through the many lines of defense placed in the city by the Pudri army and slaughtered the Silver and White Hall, the palace of the previous Pudri kings.

Queen Susan Bella stood on top of her palace, and she used to look out over the terrace where she watched, watching the soldiers of the Queen's Guard, in the silvery garden beneath the castle, fighting the undead who had broken in.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming from behind her.

"Your Majesty, we can't stop the enemy."

The person who spoke, the voice sounded a little weak.

Without looking back, Susan Bella could recognize that it was her husband talking.

She didn't look back, still looking at the battlefield below, listening to the terrible howls that kept coming from her ears, the last cries of despair from her people.

After a while, she finally spoke, "I shouldn't have trusted you, Eastman. ”

"Your Majesty......" Prince Isman didn't know what to say, his pale face was already very ugly from his serious injuries.

Susan Bella turned around slowly, her eyes glazed over, and she looked at her husband in a daze.

Eastman was so uncomfortable with her that he couldn't help but take two steps forward, as if he wanted to hug and comfort his wife—and most importantly, persuade her to leave. In the palace, there is also an elite royal court guard on standby, and there may be a chance to break out of the silver and white capital that is already doomed.

Even, even the direction of the breakthrough, Eastman has already thought about it. Heading west, in less than two days, they will be able to join up with General Wymir's troops from the Holy Empire, and when Vasared's army arrives, everything may not be without a chance of recovery. No matter what the cost, they will eventually be able to get the Silver Capital back.

However, the next moment, Prince Eastman's outstretched hands froze.

His pale face looked at his wife in disbelief. And in his abdomen, a dagger of very fine workmanship, passed through his belly.

"Do you remember? This is a gift you gave me ten years ago. It was my birthday, and you gave it to me in this palace, in the midst of a great feast. ”

"At the time, I thought you had a change of heart, but do you know how desperate I was when I found out that even this birthday present was picked by that bitch from Claris?"

When she said this, Queen Susan Bella's expression had become extremely hideous!

She drew the dagger, plunged it into Eastman's chest once more, and spat out a few words fiercely: "Now I'll give it back to you!" ”

Eastman, with a dagger in his chest, slowly fell, and soon, blood flowed all over the ground.

Her Majesty, whose hands were covered in blood, broke down in the empty palace and shouted: "You have buried our marriage, and now you have buried our kingdom!" Go to hell! Go to hell! ”

She roared like a dying beast. The gorgeous costumes were already messy after being stained with blood, which was absolutely impossible to see on the body of Her Majesty, who usually paid attention to appearance.

But now? She's crazy!

After a moment of yelling, Susan Bella's voice was hoarse, and she sat down on the ground, tears welling up, but she no longer had the strength to cry.

"It's a wonderful scene."

A cold and unpleasant voice rang out from behind Susan Bella.

"Who?" Susan Bella's voice was hoarse, and she turned her head sharply, holding a bloody dagger in her hand, and saw someone coming.

It was a guy wrapped in a black robe, tall, almost more than two meters two. However, the whole person is not fat, and it seems that he will even feel that he is very thin, as if a gust of wind can blow him away.

Inside the black hood, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly, only a faint red dot.

"Hello, Queen Susan Bella, I am a member of the Council of Six of the Church of the Damned, the fourth Mentor, Michaud."

Susan Bella is all too familiar with the name.

In fact, when the invasion of the Church of the Damned broke out, it was certainly impossible for her, as the queen of a country, not to know her enemies. The so-called Council of Six is a tradition of the Church of the Curse since its past history, and the Council of Six is essentially the highest level of the Church of the Damned. For each of the 'mentors' of the six-seat council, the minimum strength requirement is......

Legend.

Of course, except for the first time when the Church of the Curse broke out and spread its name throughout the continent for the first time, when the six councils were full, they never really gathered six legendary mages in all the turmoil they set off later.

Where is the legendary mage so easy to find? At the moment, in the whole continent, the mages who can really reach the legendary level can be counted on one hand. Three of them are in the magical realm of the Evert Federation.

As a result, the identity of this person is now very clear, Michaud, who claims to be the fourth mentor, is a true legendary mage.

The name Michaud Bella also feels a little familiar.

She quickly remembered the catastrophe three hundred years ago, when the Second Caesar Empire was not yet established.

It was also a riot caused by the Church of the Damned, which broke out on the border between the Holy Empire and the Second Caesar Empire. That turmoil directly led to a truce between the two great empires that were competing with each other for dominance at that time, and they had to work together to deal with them. It was also that turmoil that ended the path of the Second Caesar Empire to continue its westward expansion, so that Julius Caesar no longer had the strength to continue his westward expedition until the fall of the empire.

Originally, Florence, Pudri, and Sindelare were all territories of the Second Caesar Empire - in fact, Prince Pudri, the Duke of Florence, and the Governor of Sindelare were themselves officials of the Second Caesar Empire. Until now, nominally, she Susan Bella, as well as the Archduke of Florence, were both vassals of Caesar's Empire. It's just that now there is no more Emperor Caesar.

Not only these three places, but even the eastern third of the current Holy Empire, which was also Caesar's Empire in the first place.

It is true that there were many, many reasons for the fall of Caesar's Empire, but the outbreak of the cursed church that year must be an unavoidable factor. Otherwise, no one knows what the subsequent history would have become if the Second Caesar Empire's westward expedition had continued.

Far away, three hundred years ago, this man called Michaud was a famous archmage. He was once a member of the Second Caesar Empire Mage Order, but during the battle against the Church of the Damned, he chose to betray the Empire. And after the unrest of the Church of the Damned was suppressed, Michaud disappeared with it.

Unexpectedly, after three hundred years, even the once glorious Second Caesar Empire has been destroyed for a long time, and Michaud has not died yet, and has become a legendary mage and a member of the six councils of the Church of the Damned.

Now, Susan Bella knows why her Silver Capital has fallen so quickly. The attack led by a legendary mage is indeed not something that the Silver and White Capital can stop.

Even if Admiral Proudmore had been released from prison, there was no way to do it, because it was likely that the enemy was not just a legendary mage.

Soon, another black figure appeared on the terrace. This man is even taller than Michaud, and his body is also very strong.

The new strong man, who was also wrapped in a black robe, didn't even look at Susan Bella, and asked directly to Michaud next to him, "Mishaw Sixi, what are you doing here?" ”

"Second Croostra, I just saw something interesting."

The man known as Clyostraz turned his head and said, "Susan Bella, the queen of this fragile human nation, hehe, let me give her a death!" ”

"Nope." Michaud stopped the strong man and said, "I feel a lot of potential in this woman, and I think she can be turned into a very interesting toy." ”
