The earth was covered in snow and ice, everything was lifeless, and there seemed to be a silence in the darkness, only the occasional lightning bolt in the distant sky, and the purple electric light meandered between the thick clouds, which could bring a glimmer of light to this dark world. The moment the electric light lights up the world, you can see a skeleton

The skull walked lifelessly in this gray snow, from far and near, all over the snowfield, the electric light was quickly extinguished, and only the light of the soul fire remained in the darkness, as if it was an illusion remaining in the field of vision.

On the carriage, Juta was silently watching such a scene, this army of the undead was staggering past them, this was the fifth such undead army she had seen in a short time, but this group was larger than every group she had encountered before, and their number on the snow field seemed to be endless, counting

10,000. There was a strange noise in the sky, a sound that could not be hidden from others, it was the sound of the vultures flapping their wings, so dense that she could even imagine them flying overhead.

The army of the undead scattered all over the mountains seemed to be a torrent, enough to engulf a single living creature in their path, but the small army of the undead that they were in against the current did not attract any attention in this torrent, and the corpse witches scattered in the army of the undead did not even look at them.

Through the moment when a bolt of lightning lit up the earth, Yuta had seen a corpse witch who looked no different from the mid- and lower-level corpse witches they had seen in the War of the Black Roses, except that the bone staff in his hand was very different - these bone staff looked like they were made of demonic bones, each

One was exactly the same in shape - exactly the same as the one in the hand of Crote, the decaying knight next to Brando.

Yuta silently assessed it, and found that there were far fewer corpse witches among the undead than expected, and how these corpse witches controlled this army, she had already keenly thought of these strange bone staffs.

Of course, Yuta didn't know that she had almost guessed the truth.

Brando was also looking at the bone staff in Crot's hand. The bone staff was supposed to be a fake of the Dark Treasure, and if he was not mistaken, the original in Duke Ambunar's hand should be exactly the same as this one. According to Shiro, the Dark Arcana is actually made using the power of the Dark Orb

He could faintly feel a cold power emanating from the bone staff in Crot's hand, which was incompatible with the breath of the living. Before, he had a very strong feeling when he held this bone staff in his hand, but he didn't expect that he could still feel it after the bone staff was far away from him

The power echoes with him.

Brando frowned slightly, of course he was not an undead, but he knew that he had a very high concentration of dark god blood flowing in his body, and now he knew that these dark god blood was the power of the so-called dark orb, and the power of the dark treasure was also born from this, did it mean that these corpse witches were in their hands

The fake is not just a fake, but a fragment of the Dark Arcana. So it can echo with the blood of the dark god in his body?

He was very suspicious of this in his heart, but he didn't have a chance to confirm this suspicion for the time being, at this moment the bone staff was in the hands of the corrupt knight, and Krot used the special power of the bone staff to block the breath of a living person beside it, if it weren't for this, the surrounding army of undead would have already discovered their existence.

Brando's own touch of the Elemental Realm could have cut off her breath at any time, but Juta and her young men were exposed.

"The direction they're heading in is Port Fatan. Your Lordship. Yuta observed the army of the undead for a long time before speaking to him weakly.

Brando nodded. Indicates that you are aware.

"Shall we not care?"

"I can't manage it if I want to, there are at least 30,000 or 40,000 ribs here, and there should be more in the future." Brando replied.

"Yes...... The fleet of Port Fatan is enough to annihilate them, where are we going, my lord? ”

Brando thought to herself that she might not know that there was no fleet left in Port Fatan. Tonigel's fleet had left the harbor before it entered the eternal night. However, he did not intend to tell the truth, lest they think too much, and it would be meaningless to say it anyway, and it would be in vain to add some psychological negative

That's it.

He just replied lightly, "You'll know in a moment." ”

After a brief conversation, the carriage fell silent again. This carriage itself is actually an undead corpse, the carriage is made of bones, and the cattle pulling the carriage are also four undead war horses, which were originally the car of the corpse witch, so it is naturally cheaper for them at this time. The carriage of the dead slowly moves through the snow, the passage of time

Meaningless in this dark world, Mel holds a silver-plated pocket watch with a hand that moves fast and slow, sometimes turning backwards.

They saw a dead pine tree in the snow, and it went through the whole process from sapling to towering tree and then to death, and this scene was repeated in this dark world, and it was not strange that it would be strange over time.

It was only then that Juta and the others understood what Brando meant when he said that time was meaningless in this world.

Half an hour later, they encountered a fourth group of undead, which was about the same size as the third.

A quarter of an hour later, they encountered a fifth group of undead, which was slightly smaller than the previous two, but numbered in the tens of thousands. No undead were encountered since, but as they approached the shores of Silver Valley, Crot's army of the undead was confronted by a Cruz army, which Brando watched from afar

Clear the banner on the other side - it is the White Legion of the Cruz, and it seems to be the vanguard of the White Legion, this Cruz army is about three or four thousand people, not as many as any of the previous undead army, but much stronger.

In front of the Cruz were the Earth Dragonriders, and behind them were heavily armed garrison infantry, whose spears were three or four meters long, and their black steel spears glowed in the light of torches, and they were all covered in armor and even their faces were tightly covered. The garrison infantry is the main force of the infantry of the White Legion, and it is a single soldier

The average strength is between the lower and middle reaches of silver, and once they form a spear formation, it will be difficult for even a gold-level knight to defeat them from the front.

And then there are the projection troops. Most of them are crossbowmen and longbowmen recruited from the East Mez region, and although they have no special abilities, they are at least silver on average.

This is the strength of the first-line legion of the Cruz Empire, don't look at Valhalla's current development, but Brando never thinks that the current strength of his subordinates can defeat any of the first-line legions of the empire head-on, and even the second-line legion is difficult to win in the attack when facing head-on. maybe

Juta and the others don't have any idea yet, but the strength of the empire is too clear in the mind of Brando, who has experienced the previous life.

He could take out a team of Earth Dragonriders without much effort, and the Grey Sword Saint Mephistopheles could do just the same, and even better, but the result? In fact, his famous teacher in history was not the same, and he was hunted down by the empire and had almost no place to go.

After reaching the pinnacle of the law, and even stepping into the Extreme Plain, the strength of an individual can reach a terrifying realm, and it is even enough to influence the situation of the battle and become a national strategic force; But that doesn't mean that after really reaching that level, an individual can match the state. Not to mention the Cruz Empire

Such a powerful country - after all, although there are not many people who have stepped into the extreme, there are still so many in the empire.

Silently watching this Cruz army approach, Yuta and the others in the carriage also fell silent, the gap between the White Lion Guards and this terrible legion is obvious, as far as the current White Lion Guards are concerned, the average level of non-commissioned officers and elites in the army can barely reach silver, but most of the soldiers are still there

The peak of black iron hovers, compared to the white legion, whose average level is in the middle and lower reaches of silver, and the level of non-commissioned officers and knights is above gold. There is a level of difference.

And this is still the White Lion Guard, if you compare the White Lion Legion in the north and the other legions of the kingdom with the White Legion. Then there is no comparison, if the White Lion Guard and the White Legion at this moment are the difference between the reserve and the regular army, then the other legions are simply like bandits and bandits who do not enter the stream, even the people

Neither the soldiers nor the garrison counted.

In the face of such an army, even with the Buga fleet, the victory or defeat is no more than five or five. After all, at this moment, it is the Eruins who are still operating the fleet with poor average strength, and the high-level wizards in the fleet are far from enough, and as far as Yuta and her know, the four major legions of the empire, each legion

All have their own exclusive air force.

Brando glanced at the silent mercenary captain and the young men under her. He could guess what was going on in their hearts, but he wasn't going to say anything to comfort them, sometimes it was good for them to recognize the gap, the demon tide was affecting the world, and everyone had the same opportunity from this moment on

When encountered, recognize the gap, there will be the motivation to catch up.

The vanguard of the White Legion soon approached, and the Earth Dragon Knights who had opened the way in front were the first to spot the undead army here, and they immediately broke away from the group and rushed in this direction.

It wasn't until he was a short distance away that the Dragonrider stopped and asked Krot loudly.

The Rotten Knight Krot wanted to respond immediately, but Brando immediately stopped the guy, "Don't talk back. He replied in a whisper, "Don't expose our existence either." ”

"No, no problem?" Krot was a little trembling, although it was an undead, but it was not without brains, of course, it could see the qualitative gap between the two armies, not to mention that it also had thousands of bones under its command, but to really fight, it was estimated that a small group of dragon knights would be able to do it without much trouble

Slaughter them clean.

The Black Rose of Bromanda is not built on millions of skeletal warriors, and in the foreign wars of the undead, the true dominance is dominated by the powerful undead, such as the Black Knights, the Bone Dragons and the Lich.

Brando nodded slowly.

He had already observed that the previous army of the undead should be directly subject to the Dark Treasure, if Crott showed too much autonomy, it might cause the other party to be suspicious, and now the best thing for them to do is to move forward, these Cruz knights must be rushing to the front line, he

It's just a routine inquiry, and as long as Krott doesn't make any threatening moves, the other party won't react much.

After all, who would have thought that at this time, there was an army of undead who did not belong to Ambunar and were going backwards in the direction of Ovekhin? You must know that in this plan, the Eruin people of Port Fatan should not even know about the existence of the undead.

Juta, Mel and the others all retracted into the carriage, and the carriage of the undead was shrouded in a thick aura of death, coupled with the distance, they did not worry that the other party would find out that there was a hole in the carriage. Crot obeyed Brando's orders without saying a word, and caused the army of the undead to stagger with the vanguard of the White Army

Before, those terrain dragon knights followed the army of the undead from a distance, keeping a distance not far away, and sure enough, they didn't ask any more questions, and they didn't turn around and return until the two armies staggered.

It was only by this time that everyone in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief.

Juta couldn't help but glance at Brando with some admiration, she didn't know the secret of the bone staff, she just thought that Brando was in danger, and he had the demeanor of his grandfather.

Not long after that, they encountered the main forces of two more White Legions, but these two times the situation was not too similar, after all, no one would have thought that there would be a 'rebel' in the army of the undead, and most of the Cruz people thought that this army of the undead was one of the many undead armies roaming around Ovekhin

After all, humans are not accustomed to dealing with the undead, and in fact, most of the officers of the White Legion are not very aware of the details of the transaction between Her Majesty the Queen and Madara, so it is not clear what role these undead play in the whole plan.

Especially for most of the high-level leaders of the White Legion, they subconsciously thought that trading with Madara was a matter of seeing, so they kept the plan itself under wraps, and in the end, even most of the officers of the White Legion couldn't figure out where these undead were deployed

They will cooperate with them in their attack on Fatan Harbor.

This greatly facilitated the actions of Brando and the others, and within two hours, Clot and his undead had already passed through the defense line and came to the vicinity of Ovehin.

The whole world was dark, but the city of Ovekhin was still brightly lit, and from the nearby shores of Silver Valley, the harbor looked like a star set on the dark horizon.
