Since the defeat of Elkat a thousand years ago and the death of the Silver Queen, the banner of the silver has been broken.

Once upon a time, the undead were the noblest group of people in the world.

They are the guardians of the world order, the heroes of Elcut. They voluntarily gave up the freedom of their souls in exchange for immortal power, built the Great Wall of flesh and tomb to fight against the Divine Legions, used their bodies to fend off attack after attack on behalf of their comrades, and spent years studying tactics, developing weapons, and collating data.

However, after the Silver Queen was summoned by the Sleeping Mentor and passed away, the inheritance of the silver was abruptly interrupted.

In the final analysis, the undead are a new race artificially created by the Silver Queen by exploiting the loopholes of Aum's law. Whether it's the undead nature that violates the basic principles or the completely independent nature of the Living Tree, it makes it difficult for the undead to survive in this world.

If the Sages are still in the inner part of the world of Faennes, the Silver Queen can ask the Mentor to convene a Supreme Council to vote on the legitimacy of the undead. But on the other hand, if the Sages could still be contacted, Tyre would not have rebelled against the Sages and established himself as a god.

But in fact, even the mere existence of the undead in this world is tantamount to violating the laws set by both the Father of Gaia and the Tree of Life. Only within the scope of the Silver Queen's holy seal can the erosion of the law be avoided.

Under the charisma of the Silver Queen, frost giants, winter dwarves, elves, goblins, humans...... More and more people from all over the world rushed to the banner of the silver and transformed themselves into the undead.

As the number of undead increased, Elcat's legion grew, and the tide of battle began to turn around. The momentum of the undead is getting higher and higher. After recovering the territory of present-day Elkart, they decided to launch a counteroffensive.

In the midst of this protracted war between the undead and the undead. It took the undead three years to take all of what is now Fararuo, most of Suze, and two-thirds of Titan. The gods of the gods had split the coalition into three parts, and it was only a matter of time before the two armies isolated in the far north of Suze and the south of Titan were wiped out.

Call it a day. The undead have even more territory than Elcat's original territory. This makes the fighting spirit of the undead even higher.

Or rather, the undead were red-eyed by this time, and they were carried away by the successive victories.

They had apparently forgotten that the Silver Queen, whom they worshipped as gods, was only a mortal after all. Even if she had passed the vote of the Supreme Council and advanced to the side of God, there must be a limit to her power alone.

At that time, among the seven sages, only the Lord of the Sword Throne had fallen, and Aum's laws were still quite complete. Once the undead are freed from the protection of the Silver Banner, their power will be weakened more and more.

Thankfully, those nations east of El Carter still haven't forgotten their faith in the Holy One. This allows the Silver Queen to only need to extend her power westward. Burning its own origins transforms it into the sanctuary range of the Holy Seal.

The undead generals continue to ask the Silver Queen for war, and the whole country is enveloped in an atmosphere of frenzy, and the new generation of undead has been subjected to a brutal military education from the beginning of the transformation.

War is fair. While the gods could not bear the suffering of war, Elqart's resources were almost depleted. The Silver Queen adjusted her strategy, drastically reducing the supply of resources and reinforcements to the front line, in order to turn the tide of the war into a protracted war and drag the gods to death who had begun to collapse.

But she missed people's hearts. With the reduction of supplies, the battle was naturally at a stalemate, and the overwhelming advantage gradually turned into a balance of power. Despite the slight advantage of the undead on the frontal battlefield. But the generals on the front line, accustomed to the previous successive refreshing victories, could not be satisfied with the slow pace of the battle, which progressed almost nonely for several months.

So, they began to panic when they couldn't repay the queen with a victory. Some radical generals felt that victory was not possible. The reason for this is because the undead of the non-combat staff in the rear, who are constantly increasing, have been separated, so that they cannot get it.

Without the permission of the Silver Queen, some front-line generals launched private operations. They began to plunder resources from Titan and Suze. Expand your forces by carrying out undead transformation without authorization.

"This was the beginning of the collapse of the war that year."

Doto recounted softly, "Since then, a large number of wild undead have infiltrated Elcat. These wild undead, who were completely unaware of the glory of the pale silver, had no reverence for Her Majesty. ”

After the army is increased and sufficient armaments are obtained. The generals of the front again began to achieve successive victories.

"At that time, the followers of Titan were persecuted to the point where there was only one province left. Suze has also been occupied by four-fifths. Under the decay of the believers, the gods began to fall. One-third of Bansar's territory has been occupied. ”

Although Duoduo talks about the past glory of the undead, his eyes are full of sadness.

"In order to protect the wild minuses, Her Majesty has almost completely transformed her origin into a holy seal...... It wasn't until her origins dried up and her strength almost slipped to the Golden Rank that she would be assassinated by the God of Darkness. ”

Duoduo narrated the truth of the war to Roland in a flat tone. His right eye was completely shattered, gray shards shattered like cobwebs, and several cracks appeared in his left eye.

By now, the undead have long realized that they are a noble race only under the banner of the silver. Otherwise, the undead are nothing more than a bunch of cold and merciless scum.

"If you don't believe in the gods, you're not even allowed to live. As soon as we leave the ruined land of Elcat, which is now deserted to the point of nothing, we will be hunted down by the Templars," Tato recounted in a flat, outsider voice, looking up at Roland with an eyes so empty that he could not be angry at all, "Once caught, he will be tortured, toyed with, and killed for fun. Then they were sold as rare items, used as objects, enslaved, dissected and resurrected on the test bench with mud, stones, and canine skeletons......"

"Elcat, there hasn't been a king for a thousand years......"

Duoduo whimpered and sighed.

The undead who have lost the king are no different from a pack of abandoned dogs.

Listening to the bland narration of the undead named Duoduo, Roland fell into complete silence.

His lips were tightly pursed and he didn't speak, and his eyes were dark.

Although her sister was dragged to death by this group of brainless dead heads, Roland can only feel a deep sadness now. I can't afford to be angry.

"Sister, you're so stupid......"

Roland muttered.

Then, Roland made a decision.

He stretched out his right hand and pressed it Duoduo's forehead.

Duoduo was stunned for a moment, the whole person was stunned, and looked up at Roland blankly.

"Why are you still stunned?"

Roland said in an indifferent voice, "Swear to me." Swear to me in the name of your soul. ”

Duoduo's eyes gradually widened, his mouth opened slightly, the light of hope shone under his eyes, and tears flowed silently.

He was not because of Roland's actions and words, but because of the thorn runes that glistened with silver light on Roland's forehead at some point.

- That's it, Crown of Thorns!

"Toto. Nasquez swears—"

In an almost hoarse voice, Duoduo stared at Roland's forehead and said in a very slight, serious voice: "In the name of my soul, I hereby swear to the new king of Elcat. From now until the trumpet of the last day sounds, I dedicate all my life, faithfulness and glory to you—"

"I swear to fight for you with all my heart, I swear to die before you, I swear to hide nothing from you, I swear to keep your secrets, I swear to defend your faith, I swear to preserve your glory with my life. From this day forward, I will fight for one, live for one, and die for one. This is true today, every day, until death. ”

"I accept your life, your loyalty, and your glory," Roland whispered, "and I will defend your right to life to the death; I will preserve your dignity and creed as my own life; I swear that I will never give up the possibility of saving you in any danger...... I accept your allegiance. ”

As Roland's words fell, the pale silver seal on his forehead flickered violently.

Suddenly, the gray fragments in Duoduo's eyes completely melted, revealing the bright red pupils inside.

At the same time, his pale face turned rosy at a rate visible to the naked eye. His hair color gradually came to life, turning from a dry straw-like gray-yellow to a silver-gray that shimmered with a warm glow.

Duoduo's body trembled.

He couldn't stop crying. (To be continued.) )
