Ten days ago, Wharton

Cecil and Andy breathed a sigh of relief after Sandru fled, no matter what, Acting Henry and the necromancer had finally been resolved, and the next thing was to report the matter truthfully to the Count himself. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Of course, Henry didn't kill himself, but it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that Henry is dead, and the earl's purpose has been achieved, isn't it?

At this moment, a mercenary ran over out of breath, his eyes full of panic.

"My lord, it's not good, there has been an army of undead outside the city." The mercenary's lips trembled as he reported it to Sanders.

An army of the undead! Out of town!

How is it possible, Cecil also knows a little bit about the things on the border, it is indeed incredible that the army of the undead appeared so blatantly outside the city, is it true that the Shield Paladins guarding the border are all wiped out?

"Due to the lack of manpower of the Shield Holy Knights, the 20-kilometer defense line on the border with Kent County is actually basically in charge of Lord Henry." Sanders said silently

After hearing this black line, since Henry is in charge of this line of defense, what else can he say, can he still count on an acting official who colludes with the necromancer?

"It seems that this undead lord is determined to obtain the corpse of Lord Marquis, and it is hard to wonder that the death knight transformed by a legendary-level knight does have a powerful ability to defy the sky." Andy said.

"Let's go to the city gates," Cecil said.

Although Wharton is a small city, it has the advantage that it is a natural small fortress, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only one side has a city wall, and now the front of this city wall is officially densely packed with undead armies, and countless skeletons are hovering under the city wall.

Looking at the overwhelming skeleton army in front of them, those mercenaries on the city wall trembled a little, after all, the quality of these mercenaries is too poor, basically they are mercenaries just to make ends meet, but they didn't expect to face this kind of war. This kind of encounter is probably something they never expected.

Cecil looked at the army of undead below and breathed a sigh of relief, Cecil had rich experience in fighting against the undead when he was a player, he knew that the sea of skeletons on the opposite side looked huge, but in fact, the strength was not strong, they were all cannon fodder who were not even level 10, in fact, even ordinary mercenaries here would never lose to this kind of skeleton.

If this army was all skeletons like this, Cecil would not care about the number of them.

It stands to reason that Sanders, the mercenary leader, should be in charge of the overall situation at this time, but Sanders is bent on scolding Cecil, the big man in his heart, so he is obedient to Cecil, Cecil looked at Sanders with an expectant look at himself and Alexander. I was a squad leader when I was a player, but I really didn't command such a high-end thing as defending the city. As for the aboriginal Cecil himself, he was a scum who had never even been a team leader.

Now that I have to command the defense of the city, it is really an unprecedented pressure, and I really feel like walking on thin ice with the lives of thousands of people in this small city on my shoulders.

Although this is the case, Cecil still likes this feeling a little, that is, the wonderful feeling of what is on your shoulders, what you are bearing, when everyone's eyes are on you, when everyone's expectations are on you, this feeling of being in the spotlight is really beautiful, of course, you must work hard to be worthy of this responsibility.

Now the strength in the city can be described as bad, there are no past troops in the city, the only armed force is Sanders's mercenary, this mercenary usually shows off his might and bully the common people, but it is a bit self-deceptive to let them compete with the army of the undead on the opposite side. The city had not experienced any war for almost a few hundred years, the walls were broken in many places, there were some rolling logs and stones in the city, and there was almost nothing else, and the only large defensive weapons, two catapults, had long since become unusable due to their age. The whole environment is terrible.

Cecil even has the idea of whether to negotiate directly with the undead, as long as the undead do not slaughter the civilians in the city, Cecil can consider handing over the body of the Marquis, after all, the main purpose of the undead lord with this corpse is to fight a civil war between the undead lords, although a legendary-level death lord is powerful, but it is not a unique existence in Diya, almost every super power of Diya will have two or three death knights of this level, In other words, the biggest result of having more of this Death Knight is likely to be to make Diya's group of necromancers dog-eat-dog bite more intense.

But Cecil quickly gave up this idea, not to mention that the Earl's anger would never be able to bear it, the army of the undead was notoriously arrogant and deceitful, and the so-called promises and oaths were probably not as good as a joke in Diya, even if they got the body of the Marquis, they would never let go of the people of Wharton City. After all, the replenishment of ordinary corpses is also a rare resource for the undead lord.

Cecil settled down for a moment, and immediately asked Sanders to send the red magic bullet of the maximum warning signal, ask for help from the Shield Paladins on the border in the distance, and then went to count the grain in the warehouse, fortunately, just in the autumn harvest season, some of the grain has been transported into the city in advance, and it is not a problem to persist for more than 3 months.

Then Cecil ordered the raid of Henry's mansion, it stands to reason that Cecil has no right to do so, but now there is not so much of it, I believe that neither the earl nor the king will say anything afterwards, Sanders has obviously regarded Cecil as a real big man, and obeys his words.

Henry has been leviing and collecting money for so many years, and the upper and lower factions have indeed accumulated a lot of money, and the total number of gold coins is about more than 2 million, looking at the mountains of gold coins that have been confiscated, Cecil can't help but be speechless, it seems that Henry is indeed damned, I don't know how much blood and tears and how many lives have been lost by Henry in so much money.

Now that everything is easy to do with money, Cecil immediately began to offer a bounty, the mercenary group will give 100 gold coins per person, and the reward for killing a skeleton will be 5 gold coins, and now the civilian soldiers will be given 100 gold coins each, and the residents will be asked to repair the city wall at a high price, and at the same time prepare a large number of rolling logs and stones. Craftsmen were recruited to begin repairing the two broken catapults in the city.

After doing this, Cecil is still not sure, the effect of money is limited after all, especially the fear of death, these mercenaries heard Sanders say that there are actually very few people who really have the strength of a warrior, and many of them were joined by Sanders after being hired by Henry, basically a typical example of eating and waiting for death.

Now the only thing that makes Cecil more reassuring is that the Shield Paladins have a garrison in the Brilliant Fort not far from here, once Wharton City is breached, they will definitely be to blame, so the Shield Paladins will definitely come to the rescue, this undead army does not have too many high-level troops, it can be called a skeleton army, in the eyes of the King's regular army like the Shield Paladins, such a force is not worth looking at at all.

Barracks for the Army of the Dead outside Wharton

In the vast army of the undead outside Wharton, a black-robed man is quietly closing his eyes to recuperate, perhaps he is no longer called a human, under the black robe is a skeleton, of course, different from other skeletons, this skeleton is shining, as if every skeleton contains endless energy, in this skeleton, there is no soul fire, although there is no soul fire, but this skeleton is full of power, as if every bone is a crystal round jade, full of strange power, In the undead realm, this creature is called a lich. He is the leader of this army of the undead, the Lich Winter.

It's said to be a lich, but Winter's transformation is obviously not very successful, generally speaking, only mages above the holy level can have the ability to transform into a lich, but once someone fails to transform, although they will also create a life box, but the level and strength will drop a lot, and the lich actually doesn't have too strong growth ability, and the biggest advantage of transforming into a lich is that it can be permanently immortal. But the growth of the lich is actually very insignificant compared to the necromancer, but fortunately, the lich has a long time to talk about *** Winter is this type of failure, a level 130 necromancer can only become a level 100 weak lich, originally this monopolizing undead overlord of the character can only send people to become a subordinate of other lords, thinking about it, Winter is resentful, and it is difficult to hold himself.

Winter is closing his eyes and waiting for the opportunity to attack, a necromancer is walking towards him, the necromancer still has a lot of injuries on his body, it is ridiculous to say, injuries are nothing in the army of the undead, cannon fodder is injured, throw it away, valuable people are injured, whether it is a necromancer or a lich or there are 10,000 kinds of black magic that can be treated, but it is the necromancer himself who cannot be treated with black magic, because in essence, although they practice black magic, they are still humans. This is also one of the reasons why Winter risks failure to transform into a lich, and of course, this is his sad past.

"Isn't this the genius Sandru? How did you come back in such a mess? Rin Dong might as well say sarcastically, for this lord's most important student, Rin Dong has always had no good feelings.

That's right, the person who came was Sandru who ran back from Wharton City: "Lord Winter, why did you bring such a large army here without authorization, does the teacher know about this?" Sandru asked.

"Hmph, our great genius is embarrassed to ask me, if I hadn't come with a large army, how would you explain to the lord if you failed? You should know that Lord Sante longs for that corpse. Winter said sarcastically.
