In the realm of bones, the realm of the undead in Slanhorn, a huge skeleton at least 100 meters tall carried a small cage, came to the high platform, knelt down to the skeleton on the throne, and presented the cage with both hands.

The skeleton with the crown pointed at the cage with its bony fingers thicker than a human body, and a translucent figure spilled out between its fingers and squeezed into the cage.

"Living, the great King Slanhorn has something to ask you. ”

The translucent figure was supposed to be a ghost, dressed in fine clothes and oily-haired. It's clearly a man, but his voice is sharp and thin, extremely feminine.

"Ask me! I know everything!"

"Ask me! There's no one in the world who knows more than I, Peak!"

There was a gray-haired man and a big-nosed halfling man curled up in the cage, originally with a dull face, as soon as this figure appeared, he was immediately ecstatic, and rushed to scream.

"King Slanhorn asks you, who is now usurping the land of the Kingdom of Slanhorne, which god do they believe in, and what kind of power do they have?"

"It's Duke Prell!" called out Norrieux, "Rich-Prell! he's the lover of Theresia, Queen of the Dawn...... Oh, vassal!"

Pique exclaimed, "He believes in the Crimson Lady, that is the revived goddess of love!

"But there are several saints, very powerful saints!"

"And the Righteous Saintess! Very good at dealing with the undead!"

"What's even more powerful is the magic guide technology! Our adventurer's assistant, and that camera, he invented it!"

"It was invented by Master Rowanna, and the Duke is just very good at using magic technology!"

"You know what? The Duke loves to watch my adventure shows, and I've been picked up by him!"

"What is the reception? My brother is in the service of the Duke! he is a very senior counselor!"

The two of them quarreled with each other, trying their best to shake off their understanding of the Divine Plateau.

The ghost asks repeatedly until it is confirmed that there is nothing more to ask before leaving the cage.

Norrie and Pique rushed to the edge of the cage and clung to the fence, tears streaming into their eyes.

"Your Majesty, I am the most adventurous and learned Peake of the halflings! I swear in the name of Tesolos that I will be loyal to Your Majesty and will search for you everything you want to know on the Lord Plane!"

"Your Majesty, let me be your internal response! I will definitely join the ranks of the Duke of Prell and do everything for you! Even if it is to help you take indescribable images of the Duke and the Holy Maiden, I can do it, I am very good at this! I have sold tens of thousands of chips in several series!"

"Your Majesty——!"

The skeleton carried the cage and faded away with the terrible cries of two people.

On the throne, the soul fire in the eyes of the crown skeleton flickered, and the empty voice spread from the high platform to the entire space: "Richie Prell ......"

It tapped the armrest of the throne with its bony fingers, and a figure in a robe hood came to the bottom of the high platform, and made a sharp but seductive voice: "Selinz is here, what is the king's will?"

The crown skeleton only hummed, but it roared like rolling thunder, and the slender figure bowed its head deeply: "Yes, my king, I will sweep away the evil living people who occupy the homeland, and not one will be left!"

When he looked up, he saw a beautiful face in his hood, even if his complexion was blue and black, and the flames of terror were churning in his bright green eyes.

..................

Valentine Bay, the layered and angular parapet wall of Valentine Cathedral, envelops more than a dozen square kilometers of territory. To the east, there are long horns that extend deep into the bay, making it a great fortress.

The square, 100-meter-high temple of Kem stands in the center of the fortress. The surface of the blue-gray stone wall emitted a faint white light, just like the parapets everywhere in the fortress, and the enchantment circle buried in the wall echoed the barrier in the center of the temple, so that the entire fortress was immovable under the bombardment of extraordinary power.

In fact, it has already been tested once, and the fortress was originally surrounded by bustling neighborhoods, which together form the most prosperous city on the mainland after the fragrant city of Valentine. But at this time, the city with an area of dozens of square kilometers, except for the Valentine Cathedral, all other areas were reduced to rubble, and the smoke and dust accumulated on the ground like clouds, which could not be dispersed for a long time.

Valentine City has a population of more than half a million people, and there should not have been so many people here when the Order Alliance attacked. But no more than 100,000 citizens were lucky enough to be accommodated in the Valentine Cathedral, and no one can say how many were buried in the rubble.

Viewed from the air, with the Valentine Cathedral as the center, the perimeter has been leveled. More than 20 kilometers to the west of the cathedral, another fortress stands alone on the earth, with it as the center, and also expands into a circle of scorched earth with no tiles and no grass.

This is the original west gate of Valentine, known as the fortress of the "West Fort", and now, like the North Fort and the South Fort, it has become a stronghold for the Alliance of Order to besiege the cathedral.

Unlike the other two fortresses, the Queen's banner flies high here.

In addition to the fortresses and fortresses, the ruins and wastelands on the land were the result of an exchange of divine punishment and forbidden spells between the attackers and the defenders.

Valentine's Cathedral tried to destroy the Queen's fortress with the Divine Punishment Curse, but the will of Kem clearly did not approve of such an act, and the power of the Forbidden Curse was limited, and the fortress withstood the attack with the help of a makeshift defensive barrier.

Queen Aurora retaliates with a larger forbidden spell in an attempt to break down the defenses of Valentine Cathedral. But the defense system built up over thousands of years effectively directed the attack to the city outside the barrier, allowing it to swallow the entire city.

The defenders did not dare to touch the will of Kem with the forbidden spell again, and the Alliance of Order was not stupid enough to continue to ravage the rubble with the forbidden curse, and the two sides entered the stage of flesh-and-blood combat.

On the circular position built around the three fortresses, hundreds of magic cannons were constantly bombarded, causing ripples on the defensive barrier, which was just consuming the defenders' divine crystals and magic crystals.

The army unites the border to cover the troops, breaks into the defensive barrier in a dense formation, and fights the opponent's troops face to face, which is only to consume the opponent's personnel, hoping that when the opponent is unable to attack, the encirclement can be advanced under the opponent's barrier.

Of course, the cost of consuming the defenders' personnel and supplies is more of your own consumption.

In the conference room of the West Castle, the queen and her allies, courtiers, and generals looked at the images projected by the round platform, and their expressions were different.

The image is not a battlefield outside the fortress, but a remote and treacherous land thousands of kilometers away, in the southwest.

General Roydas crossed his arms and said disapprerovingly: "Duke Prell is tired and tired to make such a big battle, it is better than a divine punishment forbidden spell." ”

"It's not that simple", Grand Duke Tangus, the legendary paladin Tangus Fifty-seventh, shook his head and said, "What if the Giant King makes a gap in other places after destroying that dimensional gap?" ”

The old paladin looked at the image and said with emotion: "They rely on this little bit of people and this bit of strength to force the Giant King to protect the gap in the plane, it's really rare." ”

Archduke Baruso, who has orc blood, said, "It's just that they're lucky, the gap in the plane isn't big enough to enter the legend. ”

Then he stared at the silver-armored warrior in the image who was holding a strange magic guide weapon, spewing out a violent stream of light, knocking down the undead one by one from the air, and his tone changed slightly: "Of course, these weapons are indeed good. ”

Brynto said in a deep voice, "This is Duke Prell from the Storm Islands, right? I heard that his agent got a large amount of waste materials in the Storm Islands. ”

General Roydas snorted, "We don't have any of these weapons in the Storm Islands legion. ”

Everyone looked at the black-haired beauty beside the queen, with different eyes, some inquiring, some questioning, some dissatisfied, and some ambiguous.

Hathaway frowned slightly, and said helplessly: "This should be an improvement made by Duke Prell...... Looking for the improvements made by those Shadow City immigrants, he was able to invent the magic guide gun, and he was a very good magic guide craftsman himself, so it was not surprising that he could make these improvements. ”

Noticing that these words did not dispel everyone's suspicions, she continued: "Such weapons have nothing to do with the overall situation, they have already exhausted all their strength to deal with a gap in the plane. ”

"Indeed, such weapons have only made the Legion a little stronger, and even the magical metal fortress they built is nothing more than a defense to emulate the Valentine Cathedral. ”

Theresia's voice rang out, and she looked away from the silver-armored warrior and waved her hand, shifting to a bird's-eye view of the entire fortress. The large metallic luster spliced by the copper plate spreads out on the ground and is a magnificent view.

"But the power of the low-level transcendents has skyrocketed, enough to trigger a revolution in warfare. Everyone has also seen that the battle between us and Valentine, the forbidden spell not only failed to determine the winner, but also brought great disaster. ”

After saying that, she looked at Hathaway, Hathaway sighed slightly, nodded and said, "I will urge the Supreme Council to make every effort to promote magicians to improve magic weapons, popularize magic metal, and improve the combat effectiveness of the legion as soon as possible." ”

"Let the Duke of Prell make these weapons for us," said Archduke Baruso, pointing to the spitting Magic Guided Machine Gun, "especially that kind of thing, if I have two hundred in my legion...... No, if you have a hundred, you will be able to stand firm under the barrier yesterday!"

The generals chimed in, and Brynto opened his mouth, but closed it again.

Theresia looked at Brintor, then at Medi next to her, and finally looked at Hathaway, bit her lip, and said in a resolute tone: "This is not the Duke of Prell alone, we must mobilize all our forces to win the war." I have decided to establish a Department of Magical Affairs within the Order League, by ...... Hathaway served as the Minister, and Medi served as the Deputy Minister, overseeing the research and manufacture of magical weapons, as well as all magical matters that would help improve the Legion's combat effectiveness. ”

Everyone was awe-struck, some of them turned pale, but Brinto and the others had their eyebrows stretched.

Theresia continued, "This is only temporary, and when the war is won, the ministry will be disbanded and the relevant control will be handed back to the various countries. ”

After the meeting adjourned, Theresia, Medi, and Hathaway stayed.

Theresia said, "Hathaway, I approve of your proposal for a patent for magic. However, to apply for a patent within the Order League, you must also obtain permission from the Ministry of Magical Affairs, and you must pay a corresponding fee. ”

Hathaway smiled slightly: "Of course, the mechanism of the Joint Communications Committee has set a good example. ”

"Speaking of which, thank you so much for your efforts on the United Communications Network during this time, oh, and of course Mentor Medi. Now I have real-time visibility into all kinds of details in various places, and thanks to this network, our logistics are more stable. ”

"Your Majesty's praise is really unacceptable, the number of communication towers and magic towers is not enough, and a lot of manpower is also needed for information forwarding and management, and the amount of communication is also very limited, and it has not yet played its due role. ”

"Let's improve slowly, and I'll leave the affairs of the Department of Magic to you and Mentor Medi......"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely promote the development of magic technology as soon as possible, especially the various weapons developed by Duke Prell. It is believed that it will not be long before it will be widely equipped in the legion. ”

"Well, I'm concerned about this too, but I can't fall behind Richie. ”

After chatting for a while, Hathaway took her leave.

Out of the conference room, Hathaway let out a cloudy breath, rubbed the ring, and called her uncle.

"Close the portal in Shadow City immediately, why? Li Qi has proved that he has the ability to digest our immigrants, of course he can't give him away again!"

"Also, is that little silver dragon still picking up garbage everywhere? find a way to get her away! Mosmut is supporting her? Negotiate with Mosmut to win him over for the time being. Wait a minute...... The dragon clan all saw Jin Buer's eyes, and talked directly with Xiao Yinlong to give her other benefits, in short, Li Qi could not continue to obtain magic guidance technology from the Storm Islands through her. ”

"Also, Li Qi has proven that what he said about the magic guide metal smelting technology is true, we can't be left behind, let the Supreme Council take action in this regard! Including our family, we must do our best to do research in this area, and we must not let Li Qi monopolize the supply of magic metal in the mainland. ”

"It's hard for us to control the magic technology, and the enchantment technology has to be strictly controlled. You agree with the families that have the enchanter's heritage, and it's best to set up an organization outside the High Council to manage enchantment, and not to let enchantment technology leak out, especially not for Richie to find a loophole in it. ”

After explaining, Hathaway looked up at the southwest and muttered, "Richie, you are not on the main plane, so we magicians are on our backs, and I hope more and more that you will stay on the underworld forever." ”

She raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth curved into an incomprehensible smile, at this moment, the legendary sorceress was incomprehensibly beautiful: "Of course, if I can snatch you from the hands of the Crimson Lady and make you kneel under my skirt, I am still willing to renew my relationship with you." ”

In the conference room, after Medi finished reporting to Theresia, the queen frowned: "Richie hasn't reached the throne of death yet?"

Medi shook her head: "The situation on the Underworld is extremely chaotic now, if Duke Prell reaches the Throne of Death, the movements of all parties should change, but there is still no obvious change. ”

"Valentine, here, I don't know how long it will take to break through to the enchantment," Theresia sighed, "I really hope that his side can get things done as soon as possible, and then come and help me." ”

Her voice became muffled: "He...... I don't know how it is now. ”

..................

In the realm of the dead, the strange mist condenses into a rushing river, stretching endlessly into the distance, this is the River Styx.

Distorted and changing gloomy clouds of light, floating in the River Styx, swept past the corners of Richie's eyes, and floated forward in an endless stream.

Li Qi walked on the shore, not daring to get too close, but not daring to stay away, looking at both sides vigilantly at any time, like a child crossing the road.

The riverbank was the only indicator he could discern his direction, and the rest of the directions were all thick gray fog, which seemed to be an extension of the gray canopy above him, and the visibility was almost zero.

Vaguely seeing a large green light faintly flashing in the distance, and there was also a force impact, Li Qi suddenly changed color: "Why is it a battlefield again!? Didn't you say that this section of the country close to the zombie monarch should be very quiet?"

The pendant around his neck flashed a faint green light, and the Lord of the Dead said in his ear: "Yes, the Zombie Monarch has not participated in the chaos of the Realm of the Dead until now, he is a neutral, and there should be no conflict here." ”

The deity around Richie's neck can not only protect his soul, but also speak directly to the Lord of the Dead. Without the guidance of the Lord of the Dead, he would not have been able to penetrate deep into the realm of the dead and reach the seat of the Grim Reaper.

But the guidance of the Lord of the Dead was obviously unreliable, and Li Qi said angrily: "But the movement in front is obviously two armies of the undead fighting! This is the third time!"

The more he spoke, the more angry he became: "It's the first few days? I can't believe it, I've been walking in the realm of the dead for almost a month! Not to mention the god seat, I haven't even seen the toilet!"

The Lord of the Dead sighed, "You have the protection of the Hades Pilgrimage, you don't need to eat or go to the toilet......

Li Qi was a little out of control: "I don't need it physically, I need it psychologically! I feel very heavy now! I haven't gone to the toilet once for more than half a month, and I'm going crazy!"

"I know you're worried about the above, but in the realm of the dead, that's all you can do," said the Lord of the Dead, "and your body is because of ......"

"Don't look for a reason!"

Now Li Qi has no respect for the Lord of the Dead: "Are you sure your guidance is okay? Your territory is in the Necropolis, and you haven't been here before." ”

"I haven't been here, but I have a map", the Lord of the Dead paused, as if checking the map.

"Maps?"

Richie muttered, "I have a very bad feeling......"

Listen to the Lord of the Dead: "When you say this, I think there may indeed be a problem with the map, after all, it was given to me by the last era when the god of death was still there. ”

Richie stopped, as if about to jump to his feet, or shouted hysterically.

After all, he just sighed: "Well, even you know that you are using expired maps to trick me." ”

"When you get to the next fork in the River Styx, fix your map!"

He shook his head helplessly, and continued to raise his legs and walk forward, now he felt that every step was heavy, and he didn't know why, maybe it was the suppression of the realm of the dead.

Li Qi continued to trek along the banks of the River Styx, and behind him, wisps of light stretched out invisible to the naked eye, piercing through the gray mist and connecting with a group of undead in the mist whose eyes flashed with light green soul fire.
