Kotenburg, located on the outskirts of Butt in the heart of Catlea, has lord's fiefdoms on all sides. Although the lords may not be loyal to this place, they are undoubtedly well protected.

Yes, while these armies of the undead were infesting the lands of Catlea, Kotenberg was still able to remain at peace.

And now, like every calm morning, Duke Walker was sitting on the light-filled balcony watching the news from different regions. It's been a long time since he's been so laid-back, and he's at ease.

I remember that once upon a time he sat like this, paying attention to the news from all over the place, and paying attention to all the movements around him. And the whole kingdom is under his control, and the young king has no queen, as long as he can die before he can find the woman he loves, Duke Walker will be able to get the whole country.

But all this dream was disrupted by a boy from the East, who not only got more land, higher titles, but also built an army against him. And those armies are very powerful, which is not at all comparable to these inferior soldiers under him, of course, the most important thing is that some people say that he is old.

Yes, some say he is old. For almost more than a hundred years, no one dared to say this to his face, even if it was not said to him. And since the arrival of the boy from the East, some people have said from time to time that he is too old to hold a knife.

Although those who spoke ill of him in the end have now been taught their due. But none of this can be changed, he is old after all.

So for a long time, he was lying in bed, and occasionally getting out of bed and walking was barely able to walk a few steps with crutches. But now it was different, and he felt younger again.

Yes, just like before the Oriental boy came here, he felt himself mixed up and down with power again, and the blood that had long been frozen was now flowing in his body again.

It was definitely not an illusion, he knew it. Yes, he knew that now he was almost going to win, the king was already sick in his hospital bed, and the boy from the East was almost dead now.

What's more, he traded his soul for an army of undead in exchange for soul destroyers. As the Demon King, the Soul Slayer agreed to his request and had already sent such an army, and all he consumed was his own soul.

This is a sure deal, as long as he occupies this place, he is the king of this place, and he will be the king of this place for all eternity, because there will be no one here who will rebel against him.

Although no matter how he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong, but it didn't matter, he didn't care about it at all. Anyway, in his opinion, there are not many armies in this world that can match the army of the undead.

So now he is very safe, just like he used to be, sitting on the balcony and watching what is happening everywhere. It records where the undead army has breached, and where it is still being held.

Although it has been at least a little over a month since the news arrived, a month has not changed much. After all, the land occupied by the undead had not been taken away so far, so the month would only make the results better than he expected, not worse.

Now he is watching it all and enjoying it all. In his imagination, the army of the undead had reached the city of Barth, and now he was about to become the king of all of Katerea.

But there were always people who disturbed his dreams, and yes, it made him very angry. But there is no way, the reality is always to be faced. But fortunately, the reality is not bad, at least the situation is good now.

But the person who appeared in front of him made him feel that everything was not so good, at least he was very uncomfortable in his heart: "Ellie, what are you doing when you come back, everything has been done?"

"No, Lord Duke, I think you should understand that he is very clever and powerful, and he already knows what I am going to do, so now he asked me to come back. He doesn't kill me, it's because he knows you're going to kill me. Ellie didn't blink, still looking at Duke Walker steadfastly.

"Is it? he must have known so much, but I remember you didn't watch him drink the poison?" said the Duke.

He looked at the girl in front of him, who was half a head shorter, this was supposed to be his granddaughter's child. In the face of such flesh and blood, there was no love in his eyes, but it was very hot, and he wanted to kill her.

He didn't know why, but in his heart this little girl had never brought him any good news. Although he didn't know why, nothing good happened to her every time she appeared, and now it brought him the worst news.

"Yes, he drank poison. But it didn't work, you know, it didn't work at all. You should understand that he is a sword god like His Majesty. Ordinary poison can't help the sword god at all, and our poison is the same, he drinks it like drinking water. I don't know if it was out of fear or what, but Ellie seemed a little eloquent.

"It's useless? hehehehe!" The Duke sneered a few times: "His Majesty the King is lying on the bed, how can you say that this poison is useless?

It seems that she has seized the opportunity, Ellie quickly added.

"Yes, Your Majesty did pretend. Although I don't want to say this, but you should understand that they are sword gods, and they are close to gods, how can their strength be poisoned? He is alive, His Majesty is also alive, our poison is of no use, and they are not affected at all now. ”

"Really?" said the Duke in a whisper, as if he were asking Ellie, as if he were asking himself.

Suddenly, he spoke loudly again: "I think yes, yes! I am really old and confused, Your Majesty is pretending, how can I not understand?"

So saying, the Duke walked on the edge of the balcony and looked out of the castle: "It seems that His Majesty's army is coming, and I have seen a lot of birds. You don't see that in normal times, unless a large army comes. ”

Outside the woodland, a knight order marched. These were the Templars, all of them now in good spirits, walking slowly towards Cotenburg.

Truth be told, this was the first battle ever fought by the entire Order, and many of them still didn't know what it was all about. But they all had one conviction in their hearts at this time, and that was to catch Walker Teucer.

Light and darkness are always opposed, and the Light and the evil are always opposed. Since Walker had united with the Hive to attack Catlea, the Templars wanted his life.

In addition, Yinhu's purpose in creating them was also to go out to Duke Walker. So now, it's right.

I saw that this team was walking in the forest with high morale, and when they marched, they startled a tree of birds.

"They came, and everybody listened to me. There aren't many of them, so I'll stay here and don't let anyone into Cotenburg, understand?" Seeing that the Templars were getting closer, Walker panicked.

He never expected this day to happen, because everything was going on in his plan. Even because he thought that he would win in the end, he didn't even build a passage to escape, and now the castle with only one gate trapped him, and he had to defend it if he wanted to survive.

But in fact he could have avoided holding on here, as long as everything went in the direction he had expected. And all this should have developed according to everything he expected, but since the appearance of Zhao Yulong, everything he expected has changed.

And now, he has made his last plan, but it still hasn't developed in the direction he thought it would. So he attributed everything to Zhao Yulong, yes, that's right, Zhao Yulong should be blamed for all this.

"Do you think you could have predicted everything? Do you think that what you think must be what I will do? I don't care if you know it or not, but this time you miscalculated. With that, Walker let go of the hand that was holding Ellie's neck.

"Get out! He guessed I'd kill you, but I won't kill you, and I'll get as far as I can now. Looking at Ellie, who had picked up a life, Walker kicked it a few times.

At this time, the entire Order of Knights had already reached the gate. The gate was made of fragrant wood, which was meant to be admired but had no defense. Therefore, they are vulnerable to the Iron Rider.

There may be many people in this castle who are resisting, but in front of the knights, they are really nothing. They are much weaker in terms of weapons and strength, so even if they are brave enough, they can't escape the fate of death.

After all, these knights are not so merciful as to let people go, so as long as they have something to do with the duke, they will not let them go.

The Duke was still standing on the balcony at this time, and he was watching it all. How ridiculous and dramatic it was, remembering that half an hour ago he was still dreaming that he would become king. And now, the king really brought people to kill him.

The servants and servants could not resist the advance of the Knights, and it took only a quarter of an hour to clear the road. Now a quarter of an hour had passed, and the knights, as well as the knight captain, and Silver Amber had appeared in front of the duke.

"Looks like you're running nowhere. "Ente stood in the way of the king, he knew Walker's character, so he couldn't let up now.

"Yes, I'm like the whole Catlea, I'm hopeless, but if you want to kill me, you'll have to pay some price, after all, I'm an evil clan!" As he spoke, a pair of huge horns had grown from the top of the Duke's head, and his skin had become dark and doubled in size.

"Look at this terrible monster, Your Majesty, please retreat one after another, deal with such an ugly thing, just leave it to me, may the Holy Light bless me. So saying, Ente, with a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, rushed towards the duke.

The Duke is now twice as big as he is, but he still moves with agility: "Holy Light, that is something that only a fool would believe, and I can have eternal life in the darkness." ”

With that, he had already swung his fist at Ente. Ente didn't show weakness, and greeted him with this shield, directly catching his incoming punch.

Although this punch was caught, it was because the opponent's strength was too strong. Ente was forced to retreat quite a bit, and there was a shallow dent on the shield.

"It's just a punch, you can't catch it, with such strength, how can you kill me?" said the duke, who now looked disgusting with his laughter.

But no one stopped his disgusting laughter now, except Ente, of course. Taking advantage of this opportunity, a ball of light flashed from his sword and struck the duke.

Although the Duke didn't know what it was, he naturally took it with his hands. I have to say that the duke's reaction was really terrifying, and almost instantly, the ball of light was blocked by him with his hand.

But it wasn't necessarily a good thing to block it, at least after blocking it, the duke's hand felt a very strong tingling, as if something was burning his skin again.

Therefore, he was a little angry: "This damn holy light, I will tear you apart!"

"I don't think you have a chance, Lord Duke, and when you get down there, don't forget to tell the undead that the Holy Light is not something you can provoke. As he spoke, Ente's sword had pierced into the duke's body.

Yes, this sword is plunged deeply. Although the duke's skin was thick, it seemed that it could not stop the holy light at all, so the sword stabbed into it easily. And now the Duke was already feeling the pain, but he was powerless to resist.

Because just as the sword pierced into his body, the holy light summoned by the other knights of light also struck him.

"That's it, I thought this old thing had hoarded a lot of strength, but I didn't expect it to be so boring. Yinhu looked at the corpse on the ground and nodded.

"Your Majesty, I don't think we have solved it yet, the souls of these dead still need to be purified, otherwise they will eventually be used by necromancers, and then they will ......"

"I see, you guys go about it!" Silveramber naturally knew what Ente was trying to say, and in fact he wanted them to do the same. Now it's a wave of agreement.

Ente and the others did not hesitate when they received permission from Silver Amber, and they divided their labor and went to each corpse to chant. It was not their job in the first place, in fact it was up to the priest to pacify the dead.

But as paladins, they also have such abilities. Since there are no pastors around, it is only natural that these things will fall on them.

Seeing that they had already made a move, Yinhu didn't say anything, but looked at Ellie, who had just picked up a life in the corner: "What's your name, we don't seem to have met." ”

"Yes, our majesty we haven't met, if you don't mind, just call me Ellie, you won't want to know my last name, because you hate it. ”

"So your name is Ellie Toucer, isn't it? Well, the Duke's granddaughter, remember that you had done something with the Lord before. And then you were discovered, didn't he? He didn't kill you, he let you back. As he spoke, Yinhu couldn't hold it back.

"If Your Majesty already knows this, why bother asking me?" Ellie didn't know what Silveramber was trying to say, but now she just felt a little strange.

"Yes, I know that. But there are some things I don't know, why you see me and I'm not afraid. In fact, aren't all losers afraid to see winners?"

"Loser, winner. Yes, we have lost, and you and Your Highness have won. But why should I be afraid, what am I to be afraid of?" said Ellie, already standing up.

By this time, the handprints on her throat had dissipated, and she no longer felt pain when she spoke, so she spoke more.

"You're not afraid of death?" said Yinhu, suddenly looking at Ellie with an unquestioning look. It is like every ruler looking down on their land, everything is under his feet, and all life and death are decided by him.

"Death, if I say death, I would have been dead a long time ago, and you should know where I grew up. Life in the evil clan is worse than death, and I've survived all these years? Your Majesty, as much as I would like to respect you, what you say is indeed ridiculous. If I were you, kill me now, so I can get my rightful place. ”

"The status you deserve is nothing more than being resurrected as a banshee by a necromancer after death! what status can you have?" may be the first time that someone dares to speak to Silver Amber in such a tone, and now Silver Amber's tone is not necessarily very good.

"What about the banshee? at least better than now, if you don't kill me. I went back and still lived worse than slaves, because their slaves were also undead, and I was only a slave of slaves. The good thing is that the undead don't have genitals, so at least I won't be toyed with. But you'll never understand what it's like to be whipped on your body by a bone. ”

"Is that so, then why don't you be a human being?" The light was like a path, giving Ellie some faint hope.

"Be a man?"

"Yes, to be a human being, are you willing? After all, your blood is generally my human race, and if you live here, no one will see that it is wrong, provided that you are willing to become a human being and live here. As she spoke, Yinhu reached out her hand.

"Can I really do it?" Ellie was a little incredulous, and she didn't know if she should reach out to Silver Amber's hand.

"Of course you can, as long as you want. As he spoke, Silver Amber's hand leaned closer.

But Ellie felt like she was electrocuted, knocking off Silver Amber's hand: "No, I can't. Even if I wanted to, you could accept it. But the army of the undead has already been killed, and they can still take this place, so I have to go back. ”

"In that case, then tell me what their weaknesses are. You've lived in the Evil Clan for so long, you know this, tell me now. As long as we win, you will be the hero of Catalea, the first baroness in the history of Catalea. You are able to live a normal life. ”
