Chapter 64: The Holy Sect of Light
These lichs also know that the humans on the continent have not reacted at this time, and when they come back to their senses, their own people may not be able to stand on the mainland, so they will scrape the ground so cleanly, after all, everyone understands the principle of falling into the bag for safety!
And it turns out that the monster with culture is trouble. Although under the threat of the undead, the humans temporarily teamed up to drive these guys into the sea, but when they snatched the territory back, they saw that there was nothing left except for the house that could not be moved, and this time it would make everyone sit on wax.
You said that another group of immigrants should come over, this is tantamount to sending the next dish to the undead, after all, the human army can't stay here forever! But if you don't immigrate, then it's even more impossible to hold this territory? As soon as everyone disperses, the undead will definitely return to their hometowns again.
As for everyone working together to build a boat, and then go to the island to plow the cave together, everyone is not interested at all, after all, fighting a good fight on land is a very low-risk thing, and it is okay to participate.
And taking a boat to the sea to play amphibious landing, this is a high-risk activity in the era of cold weapons, if it is not a last resort, no one will use their own capital to do this kind of thing for the benefit of mankind.
Although they haven't heard of the story that the Mongolian army has attacked Japan twice and returned with a feather, everyone still has such a little military knowledge, so no one is willing to come forward to be the first bird, and everyone doesn't know what to do for a while, but-
Just when the heroes of all walks of life were helpless and the heroes of all parties were helpless, there was a Caucasian who took the initiative to ask Ying to come and guard this place, this person was Zachari, although at this time he was only a paladin with outstanding achievements, but in the future, he organized the establishment of the Holy Religion of Light and became the first pope of the Holy Religion.
At this time, Zachari did not have such lofty ideals, and the reason why he came forward was very simple - his own skills were used to deal with the undead, and it was really pointless to go back and continue to participate in the civil war.
So he proposed that everyone simply throw all the paladins and mages who were not used in the civil war and specialized in light magic here, so that they would not have much impact on their strength, and they could go back and continue to fight with peace of mind, and no longer have to worry about the undead suddenly appearing next to them, wouldn't this be the best of both worlds?
As a result, this kind of proposal was immediately approved by everyone, and they all generously left their paladins and light magic mages who were a pity to lose and waste resources to guard the border, and by the way, they also gave a group of new human immigrants for free to provide them with logistical support.
In this way, a group of chickens and some new immigrants took root in this land tenaciously and established their own country, and through decades of slow development, it was actually more prosperous and stable than those countries in the midst of civil wars, so more war refugees migrated here in waves to escape the war.
With the increase in population, economic prosperity, and expansion of power, it was natural that Zachari's gang had greater ambitions, and they first established the Holy Church of Light, renamed the country the Papal States, and then built churches and developed believers throughout the country, and then slowly infiltrated various countries through religious means.
At the same time, they did not forget to continue to prepare their arms and cultivate their own specialties - paladins and light mages, and prepared to find an opportunity to destroy the undead monsters on the other island in one fell swoop, and incorporate the large island of Siziria into their territory.
However, the undead lich on the other side of the river have not sat at home and done nothing in the past few decades, they are still immersed in hard work and research, not only making the island full of monsters, but also inventing the plague of the undead, this kind of mass killing weapon against all humanoid creatures, whether it is humans, orcs or various elves, is the target of its treatment.
However, the initial version of this undead plague is not very powerful, they will only completely destroy the host's sanity in a short period of time, turning the host into a host who only knows how to kill living monsters, and is not too contagious - the onset time is too short, the symptoms are too obvious, and the host is controlled before it can infect many people.
It is not too adaptable - it can only be transmitted from person to person, and it can only be transmitted through body fluids, and the host can generally only infect other people through scratching and biting, but often after everyone is injured, they will immediately go to the mage for treatment, and few people will sit and wait for themselves to get sick.
So when those undead lich decided to strike first and cross the sea to attack first, although the plague essence did infect many people at the beginning, making the Papal States scramble for a while, and many cities were captured by taking advantage of the chaos, but after everyone figured out the weakness of this new thing, they immediately stabilized their positions and began to slowly counterattack.
However, because the lich has saved too much cannon fodder in the past few decades, the paladins and mages under the Holy See are simply invincible, so they can only advance step by step.
On the undead side, even if they suffered heavy losses, they were still defeated but not chaotic, fighting and retreating, and in the end, the battle line between the two slowly stabilized in a mountain range called Potanka.
Then these two rivals began a long-term confrontation and tug-of-war for hundreds of years along the mountains on this narrow peninsula, and some large and small wars broke out from time to time.
And while facing off, both of them have not forgotten to continue to play their strengths.
The Papal States has many neighbors and friends, so they are desperately asking for help from friendly neighbors all day long, and the lich has no friends to help, so they have to bury their heads in the army and research and develop a more powerful new type of undead plague.
As a result, this undead plague has been updated in more than ten years-first constantly extending the incubation period, so that the host has the opportunity to infect more people before exposure. It further strengthens the contagion, so that air, water, soil and even animals become its route of transmission.
Then they went a step further and changed the symptoms of the undead plague to a variety of symptoms, although before they were about to lose their minds, all hosts would become like demons, but before that, when the hosts had begun to become in a trance and spread around, the symptoms were completely the same as ordinary diseases.
From pneumonia, epilepsy, diarrhea, to colds, insomnia, and rashes, it is a complete variety of all, and basically the symptoms of various common diseases can be found in many versions of the plague of the undead, so that it is difficult to screen out the plague patients through the initial symptoms, and can only wait until the onset of the disease to cast a spell.
Therefore, in the last hundred years, the undead plague has been very close to perfection, and it has spread throughout the entire northern continent, and along with the tentacles of the Light Holy Sect, it has also extended to all corners of the continent, after all, an old military doctor like this who has been specializing in dealing with plagues for hundreds of years is very popular everywhere!
