The rapid alarm of the previous night had made everyone spend the longest night in a state of uneasiness, and the sentinels standing on the low walls stared intently at every inch of land in the distance. Even the rising red sun could not dispel the gloom in their hearts, and no one knew what would appear in that vast sky.

After all, these days, they have heard from the Bavarian people who have fallen about the horror of the undead. Everyone knew that this time the enemy was different, and they were about to face a darkness that could consume everything.

But to say that it is completely desperate, it is not enough. After all, Prince Harold had come to patrol no less than three times since he entered the state of emergency alert, and he kept cheering up the restless soldiers. With Prince Harold's condolences, many of the sentinels regained a lot of confidence.

Before dawn, a squad of scouts hurriedly set off and left Probetz.

Although it is unknown what the means used by the undead on the move, the scouts sent out before have not heard anything except for the terrifying magical alarm signal last night. This extremely unusual situation forced Harold to ask Perrault, the head of the Maple Leaf Knights, to send more cavalry to reconnoiter the enemy's movements in the early stage.

If you can't get the information about the undead before the Scourge arrives, it will be extremely difficult for future battles. No general can win a war without knowing anything about the enemy.

After daybreak, the prepared defenders began to speed up repairs, urgently reinforcing the various defenses of Probetz.

While you can't expect these traps, which seem to many to be rudimentary, to stop the impending undead scourge once and for all, it's better to be prepared than not to be prepared.

"Prince Harold, our Wizard Corps is ready. Naxi led the white horse to the Supreme Commander of Probets.

Although they have been together for a while, the white horse led by Naxi still seems to have an opinion on him, and his nostrils continue to blow at Naxi.

Harold looked a little anxious at this moment, and he bit his lip as he had been waiting for the scout to return. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Then let's go, even if the scouts don't come back, we must be ready to fight." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden commotion from the sentries on the city walls.

"Quick, quick, open the gates! The scouts are back. ”

Hearing the commotion, Prince Harold and the commanders hurried in the direction of the city gates. Everyone in the room wanted to know what information these scouts had brought back with great difficulty.

Naxi was also a little apprehensive, he always felt that these scouts who had not returned for a long time must have encountered difficulties beyond his imagination. Otherwise they wouldn't have taken so long to come back. However, Naxi still hopes that everything is still under control, and there will be no mistakes that he can't think of.

Soon Naxi was confronted by the scouts who had just returned. Of the twelve people who originally went out together, only five warriors were able to return.

Looking at the scouts covered in scar, Naxi felt that his hopes had been dashed. None of the scouts were made of ordinary weapons, and looked more like they had been bitten by some kind of beast.

"What the hell is going on up ahead?" Prince Harold asked in a calm tone, holding the scout he was leading the way.

"Your Royal Highness, the situation is terrible. The scout's tone was a little weak, and he did his best to calm his panic, "The undead are less than five kilometers away from us now. There isn't much time left. ”

Although they had already been mentally prepared, Naxi and the others were still a little shocked. The speculation at last night's emergency operations meeting has been confirmed, and it looks like they're going to have to clash with the undead today.

"What happened to you, so many people died?" Prince Harold asked, asking why they had suffered such heavy losses.

"We've been well hidden, but we didn't expect our whereabouts to be revealed in the end. Thinking back to the chaotic scene just now, the scout still has lingering palpitations, "In the vast crowd of undead, some beast-like muscular mixtures actually rushed straight at us. They were the craziest beasts I've ever seen, and the swords in our hands didn't work against them at all. Don't attack us with all your might. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that other people reacted in time to stop these monsters. I'm afraid we won't be able to come back. ”

As for the revelation of the scout's whereabouts, Naxi recalled what he had learned in Yefaran a little, and soon had an answer. These necromancers seem to be very proficient in the Scouting type of magic, and he doesn't know exactly what kind of magic it is. In the magic notes given to him by Bazok, he had seen no less than ten categories of reconnaissance magic.

But the beast that the scout spoke of was like a muscular mixture, and Naxi had no clue even if he racked his brains. Because necromancy is a taboo existence in the city-state of Yefaran. Ordinary mages don't have access to relevant information at all, let alone Naxi is still a mage. Bazok never left any relevant information on the dense magic notes.

"You may be encountering ghouls. Kakulos, who was standing behind everyone, said, "It's surprising that I didn't expect to meet a necromancer who can manipulate ghouls here." ”

Although it was a casual tone, this unheard of monster made everyone gasp.

There is no war with the undead yet. encountered such a difficult existence, if the two sides really faced each other, what chance would they have to win?

However, Kakulos said, "Although this thing is quite ferocious, it has a very low IQ, and sometimes even necromancers may not be able to control their impulsive behavior. ”

"Well, Captain Kakulos, you have what it takes to deal with ghouls. Naxi said.

"Haha, I haven't encountered any of these difficult things, but some experienced mercenaries have told me how to deal with them. "Murderous ghouls like to eat all animals and people except necromancers. If I could set a nice trap out of the animals, I would be sure I would be able to wipe them out. Of course, the most critical thing is probably that it still needs the cooperation of the magic guide group under the command of the head of Naxi. ”

"Since there is a way to deal with it, let's hurry up and prepare for a long time, there is not much time left for us. "Prince Harold, who had not slept all night, finally heard the good news, "Herald, get someone to go to the town to collect a few live cattle, and then hand them over to the head of the Kakulos regiment." ”

"Yes. (To be continued......)
