"Ahem!ahem!" The boy's cough kept coming from the hospital bed. At this time, Zhao Yulong was lying on the bed coughing constantly. At this time, Ellie was carrying a bowl of medicine and feeding it to him.

"Thank you, when did I get this disease? After drinking the medicine fed by Ellie, Zhao Yulong leaned on the bed with a pillow at this time.

"It seems that the master has been like this since he came back from the king, yes, yes, it is that from that time on, the master's body has been failing day by day. ”

"Yes, is that so? It seems that I think so too, but why did I come back from there like this?" said Zhao Yulong and looked at Ellie.

"I suppose His Majesty must have passed on the illness to you, otherwise why did you become ill when you came back from there? ”

"Yes, it looks like you're really sick for me, and His Majesty's illness is not contagious. He was poisoned, do you think he can infect me?" said Zhao Yulong and looked at Ellie.

Now Ellie has a certain plan in mind, but she doesn't show it. Still expressionless said: "I don't know about this, master, you better drink the medicine quickly! ”

"Medicine?" he said. Zhao Yulong took the bowl of medicine in his hand. Looking at his own reflection in the water, he said, "Yes, medicine, thanks to your medicine these days, otherwise I wouldn't be in the hospital bed now, don't you say?"

"Anyway, what's not going to be, aren't you immobile now, what can you do with me now?" said Ellie, smiling, and pulled out the short knife she had hidden in her thigh.

"Originally, my original plan was to poison myself, as long as you touch me, you will die. But you've never touched me these days, and to be honest, you don't look like a man. Those marquises, counts, don't know how much they want to get my body. I wanted you to die comfortably, but I didn't expect that you wouldn't be happy. ”

"So you decided to poison it, and you found out that the previous dose was not enough, so after I came back from the king, you were worried about what I knew, so you increased the dose of the poison, and that's why I am what I am now. Saying that, Zhao Yulong looked at him, with a hint of anger on his pale face.

"Yes, you can only blame yourself for being stupid, but you can find out now that you are smart, but don't you want to know why I did this? ”

"Ellie Toucer, his father, Alayye Toc, the eldest son of Walker Tocke. When he was young, he was exchanged by Walker for the Hive, which served as the Hitch's capital to help Walker. And you grew up in the midst of the evil race, and were treated like slaves from an early age. In order for you to get rid of this identity, you must kill me so that your grandfather will take you from the evil race. Before Ellie could speak, Zhao Yulong spoke in advance.

"I didn't expect you to know a lot about me. ”

"For a femme fatale like you, if you don't know much, won't you die a miserable death? But with all due respect, with your own servility, even if you kill me and get free, you may not be able to live a truly free life. Zhao Yulong laughed as he spoke.

"But now I just think you're delaying yourself, and look at what you have to resist. It's easy for me to kill you, but what about you? There's no one around you to protect you right now. ”

"yes, no one can protect me, but I don't need protection, you know? Some things aren't what you think they are. As she spoke, Zhao Yulong's sword was already on her neck.

"I advise you to be honest, this sword is not dull, maybe your slightest movement can kill you. Zhao Yulong did not withdraw his sword, but took a step towards her, and the four eyes met like this, which made her feel fear.

"How can you? No way, my poison is in a big dose, you shouldn't stand up, you can't stand up. At this time, Ellie's heart was already terrified, but she still didn't forget to slowly approach Zhao Yulong with the short knife behind her back.

Who knows, these small movements of hers can't escape Zhao Yulong's eyes at all. Now he dodged it with his hands and pressed her against the wall: "I remember telling you that it was best not to move, and now if you want to live, tell me everything you know, if it is less, I will cut your face, and as for what will become of your face in the end, it is up to you." ”

"I said, I said, but I have to know first, why aren't you poisoned?"

"Do you want to know? I guess you've heard that once you reach the god level, ordinary poisons won't invade your body. And I'm a little higher than the Sword God level now, so do you think this little poison really works for me?"

"But Your Majesty, he ......"

Before Ellie finished speaking, Zhao Yulong interrupted: "Your Majesty, he is not poisoned, do you really think he will be poisoned?" Since I can pretend to be sick, why can't he pretend, then now you tell me all your plans, I won't kill women." But the premise is that if you are a person, if you are not a person, then I will not destroy my principles if I kill you. ”

Zhao Yulong's words were terrifying, which made Ellie's heart tighten. She naturally knew the hidden meaning of Zhao Yulong's words, so now she couldn't keep any secrets: "That's it, but you have to give a range, I can't say everything! ”

"Just tell me, what are you planning to do this time?" Obviously, this time it was more complicated than Zhao Yulong imagined, and now he was going to ask one by one.

"This is what the Duke meant, and the Duke decided to poison His Majesty with poison first. Use me to confuse Your Highness again, but Your Highness is not fooled, so I can only use poison to deal with you. ”

"I know all of this, and I can say something I don't know, like what are you doing this for, what is your purpose, what are your arrangements?"

"Lord Duke said that as long as the two of you are dealt with, the whole of Catlea will be leaderless. At that time, he will be able to take full control of Catlea and develop it into a stronghold of the Evil Clan in the Western Continent. Through this stronghold, the army of the evil clan can continue to spread to the surrounding area, and the whole continent will be the territory of the evil clan at that time. ”

"I see. Hearing this, Zhao Yulong nodded, this result he had already expected. So even if it came out of Ellie's mouth now, it didn't shock him much.

"Go on, what else. If the poisoning is not successful this time, will you do this?" Zhao Yulong saw that Ellie had not spoken, so he urged.

"The Duke said that whether this plan succeeds or not, the necromancer of the evil clan will come to attack Catlaia with an army of undead in a month, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong, so whether we miss or not, whether you are alive or not, Catlaia has no chance. ”

"Scum, as a Terran, you would do such a thing. You've lived in your cult area for so many years, and you should know their brutality better than I do, and now you're willing to do things for them. As he spoke, Zhao Yulong slapped Ellie in the face.

"So what? What about the cruelty of the evil clan, you care about the death of the subjects of your fiefdom, but who cares about my life or death? I grew up in the evil clan, and I have suffered so much, how many people have ever cared about my life or death? Anyway, I have long been used to it, how can this evil clan rule here? Anyway, I am not living the same life as before. Zhao Yulong, you are a good lord, but you are not a good person. You only know how to do things for your duty, but you never think about other people's feelings. ”

Ellie said, covering her face with her hands and getting up from the ground.

"Perhaps, your life is painful, but it's not a bargaining chip you use to get others to be like you. Truth be told, your mind has been corrupted. With such a dim psychology of yours, I don't even bother to kill you. Now get out! I, Zhao Yulong, am a man of my word, since you have already said what you want to say, then I should also fulfill my promise to let you go, but you better pray not to meet me on the battlefield, otherwise you will die an ugly death. Saying that, Zhao Yulong withdrew the sword from the scabbard at his waist.

At this time, he looked at Ellie's departing back from afar, and sighed softly: "Poor! sad! ridiculous!"

A few hours later, there were already several people standing in the lobby. No one was sitting now, not only them, but even Zhao Yulong was standing up straight at this time.

Therefore, when the others saw this situation, they did not dare to sit down, after all, the lord had not yet sat down, so what kind of system did they sit down?

The people present were all lords of some fiefdoms, and they were all on Zhao Yulong's side on weekdays. Although the knighthood is not high, and they are basically barons and viscounts, it is good to be able to come to a meeting together now. And among this group of people, Zhao Yulong saw a familiar face.

This man is Baron Quake, who has become a viscount since the last time. In fact, if he wanted to, he should still be able to be an earl, but he missed this opportunity because he announced that he would no longer be attached to Duke Walker.

In fact, he did not regret it, although as a nobleman, he did not know much about what was called the righteousness of the world, and he did not know what it meant to protect the king. He just does what he thinks is right, and joining Zhao Yulong's side is what he seems to be right.

After all, in his eyes, Zhao Yulong has god-like strength, so now he is not the only one who stands on Zhao Yulong's side, and even he has brought some friends.

Now Zhao Yulong's lobby is overcrowded, but this is a good thing. At least Zhao Yulong seems to have a much better chance of victory: "Since everyone is here, I won't delay everyone's time." Let's get down to business, maybe you don't know it yet, in a month's time, the undead army will attack our Catalea. So now that we still have time, everyone is ready to fight, and don't have an accident. ”

"The undead army, no, how could they come to attack us, it's terrifying!"

Zhao Yulong's words were indeed a bombshell, but now they were just thrown out, and they had already exploded off the field.

"I don't want it to be true, but it's true, and we can't hide from it. Because all this is really a conspiracy of Duke Walker, he wants to use the whole of Catlea as a place for their army of the undead. I think you can understand what I mean, as long as they take Catlea, there is absolutely no chance that we will survive. ”

Saying that, Zhao Yulong's gaze swept over each lord's body, and then continued: "Of course, you can also choose to join Duke Walker, so that you should be able to survive." But the price is that you will be slaves to the evil race like your people, but you will be able to live. ”

Saying that, Zhao Yulong paused again, and then deliberately raised his voice: "So all the lords present, if you still have a trace of blood in your body, and now you don't want your noble bloodline to become a symbol of slavery, then prepare for battle." It was bound to be a very unfair battle, and our advantage was almost zero. But we have to fight, and we have to win, because I don't think anyone wants to see their fiefdom populated with undead running around the streets with bare skeletons. ”

"Yes, as long as there is blood, I will have a good fight with them. Aren't they the undead!, we haven't fought them before, but I can assure you that they're not as magical as the legends say, so why don't we fight them?"

I don't know who led the crowd, but in short, it was just such a moment, and almost all the lords were enthusiastic. After all, the lords of this title basically rely on their own hard work, and they have all experienced the process from commoners to knights, or from knights to knights.

Although these were things that were years ago for them, to this day, time still can't erase their blood. Maybe these years of comfortable life have made them a little relaxed, but once the war spreads, the first thing that ignites is definitely not the beacon fire, but the blood in their bodies.

Now that the enemy is strong, although they are more or less afraid and hesitant in their hearts. However, none of these can overcome their bloodiness. Yes, they didn't fight from nothing back then to the present.

Since you were able to achieve what you have today, now that you are strong, what is there to fear?

And Zhao Yulong looked at them like this, and he was also happy in his heart, so he smiled: "Very good, you are all iron-clad men, and everyone is a bloody nobleman." I don't know what people want, but what they want. But now that we have a common goal, we are brothers. Now that the news has been told to everyone, let's go back and prepare! This army of the undead is not easy to deal with, and it will not work if you don't put in some effort. ”

"Farewell!" As if understanding the urgency of time, the lords left the place after performing their rituals.

After these lords left, Yang Zhengcai, who was standing beside Zhao Yulong, began to ask: "Brother Long, when the time comes, how many lords do you think will send troops to help us?"

"I guess none of the lords helped us. Saying that, Zhao Yulong sat on the chair and looked at the books about the undead given by Yin Amber.

But this book is really not very detailed, perhaps because there are too few battles between the human race and the undead! But none of the important things were written, especially all the information that Zhao Yulong wanted the most.

This made Zhao Yulong very distressed, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side can win all battles. Now I don't know the details of the other party, how can I defeat the other party?

At this time, Yang Zheng didn't notice that Zhao Yulong's attention was not here, but continued to ask Zhao Yulong: "Why? Didn't so many lords just say that they wanted to fight the undead?

"Of course not, they're all smart and they know what they need to do. For them, in this Catleia, no matter who is in power, as long as it does not affect their territory, they will not care. But this undead attack, they must manage. Because it will not only affect their interests, but also their lives. So as long as they are not stupid, they will naturally send troops to meet the undead. Zhao Yulong said and put down the book in his hand.

"But if that's the case, then why don't we fight the undead and they won't come to help?"

"Quite simply, now that you have a certain amount of strength, you have to choose between defending yourself and rescuing others, which one would you choose? After all, the undead army is quite numerous, and if they send troops to help us, when the undead attack the city, their territory will be in danger. And even if the whole army attacks, it may not be able to protect us, how can they do such a loss-making thing?"

"Are the undead so powerful, or are our armies so bad, but I think they're strong enough!"

"That's just what you think, but you're not them. They don't know our army, and naturally they don't know how strong our army will be, so they will naturally look at it according to the standards of their own army. If it were their army, tens of thousands of people would be defeated in the face of the undead. After all, the undead are not weak, and although I don't know exactly how strong they are, I think you will understand when the time comes to the battlefield. So now I just hope that when the time comes, they will not cause us trouble, and that they will fight these things, and it is better to ask others than to ask for themselves. ”
