In the grove next to the Nightgate Inn.

"Everyone, take care of the hidden!" The officer, dressed in the uniform of the Eastern Collar, waved his hand at the soldiers behind him, signaling them to stop their progress.

"Your Excellency......" was just coming to a stop when there was a loud noise from the trees in front of him. With this sound, several scout figures emerged from the bushes.

"How? What's up ahead? The officer whispered to the leader of the group.

"My lord, all the guards in front have disappeared, and it is estimated that they have all been moved back to Morning Star City...... One by one, the inhabitants of the villages disappeared, and there were still robbers passing through the villages...... They were supposed to have been sacked by robbers after the guards were moved back......" The scout gasped softly and began to tell the officer in front of him about the situation ahead.

"Are all the guards gone?" The officer frowned slightly. "Hurry up and spread the news to Lord Ufrik, and all the garrisons on the White Ground side should be transformed into undead......

A few hours later, on the other side of the mountain range next to the woods, Wintercastle Territory.

"Lord Ufrik, word has just come from over there that the guards in the White Land have completely shrunk, and it is estimated that the transformation into the undead has been completed......" Gamma whispered to Ufrik with the new news.

"It seems...... The white ground has completely fallen......" Ufrik by the fire said in a deep voice, his eyes flickering and he didn't know what he was thinking. "But then again, we're not in a bad situation right now, you see how ...... them"

As he spoke, Ufrik gestured to the other fire in the distance, around which he was getting along well with the warriors he had brought.

The climate in the entire territory of the fort is not very good, and the winters are ridiculously long. Even in April, it was still a little cold at night, and there was still a lot of snow on the ground in the shade that had not been exposed to direct sunlight all year round. However, the cold did not diminish the mood of the fighters in the slightest. For these Norders, who have experienced countless more severe weather, the temperature can only make them feel a little chill at best.

Of course, what can make them feel high is the campfire, the roasted whole deer on the bonfire, and the bottle of Nord honey that is not very high in alcohol and is used to keep out the cold. Speaking of which, this wine will certainly not be an ordinary Nord mead, but a mead that has been topped with ingredients by Ulfrik. Seeing that this group of dozens of soldiers who were facing them did not have the slightest trace of being infected by the toxin, Ufrik's heart was relieved a lot. It doesn't seem like he's in the middle of nowhere, and while it's almost certain that all of the people on the White Ground side have been converted into undead, at least Winterhold's side is still intact.

In other words, in some cases, Collier didn't tell him the truth, and if that was the case, it really gave him a lot more room to operate. If you get it right, you might be able to knock off the whole piece of Wintercastle's big cake.

"Cheers to Lord Ofric!" As Ufrik pondered what was next, cheers erupted from a campfire next to him. When I raised my eyes, I saw a middle-aged man with a very white face walking over with a wine glass. This is the officer who came to greet him and the others, and it is reported that his rank is only one level lower than Bingkai, who commands the entire territory army.

"For victory!" Ufric smiled and raised his glass to the officer who had walked up to him, and took a soft sip of the mead.

The officer was obviously a little excited by Ufrik's friendly behavior, and he directly tilted his head and drank all the honey in his cup. After that, the officer also bowed lightly to Ufrik and turned away, after all, Ufrik could have a drink with him at this time, which was enough to give him face, and now he was a little too much if he wanted to talk.

However, when the officer left, Ufric didn't want to let him go, and instead glanced at a henchman of the same level as the Wintercastle officer next to him. The officer followed very knowingly, and took the initiative to talk to the former.

Before coming, he and Gamma and several of his confidant officers had already confirmed, and the main thing about his and the others' line was to make decisions according to the situation, and to have a good relationship with as many officers as he could, and it was best to reveal a little guiding information to them in advance. Then, after giving them the test potion, he took advantage of their curiosity and asked them to check their own internal situation first......

"This thing is a refreshing potion that has just been developed, and it has another effect is to make the person who drinks it show the health of his soul, and if the person is controlled by the undead toxin, then his forehead will show a pitch black...... This thing was really something we just developed, and Master Ufric wouldn't allow us to tell outsiders, so I wouldn't have given it to you if it weren't for the fact that you and I talked like this, brother...... After all, this thing is precious......" Lanka said mysteriously as he looked at the officer from the East in front of him, and stuffed the small potion bottle in his hand into his hand.

What the? Necrotoxin? Hearing him talk about it, Naranka's hand shook unconsciously. He had also heard of this thing, and what he and the others were now facing was this kind of toxin that could control people invisibly and easily turn people into undead: "This thing really works?" ”

"Not really! Actually, your wine is mixed with this thing, after all, the undead toxin is usually difficult to detect, so we will have a little bit of this stuff in our current drinks and food in case someone among our own people is poisoned......" said the officer, ruffling the hair on his forehead.

By the moonlight, Lanka could see the hazy pale white glow on the officer's forehead. There was such an experience, when Lanka turned to look at the officers and soldiers around him, he could faintly see the white light on their foreheads.

I guess this thing is really useful, and I can really be prepared if I have this thing, in case I am stabbed in the back without knowing it...... Thinking so, Lanka smiled gratefully at the officer in front of him: "Then thank you, this thing is really helpful to me now......"

"Haha, after all, we are all going to fight in the same trench in the future, and this comrade-in-arms should help each other......" The officer from the east laughed, and turned and walked in the direction of Ufrik......
