Chapter 140: The Name of the Undead
The kingdom that stood on the decay of death, the city of Crows under the dark canopy took on a silent light of death, a viscous fog enveloping its sky, making the cemetery under the dark clouds seem to have a kind of sacredness.
"So, are you all ready?"
Sandru sat lazily on a throne of bones with his hands on his forehead, the accumulated white bones flowed with a cold light like Mithril, and Vidnina sat gently on Sandru's side with half of her hips, forming a gentle snuggle with his posture.
At the foot of the steps in front of him, Elson, Gru, Strongk, and a number of unheard of black-robed mysteries knelt on one knee in a humble posture, their broad cloaks covering everyone's faces, but their bowed bodies and slightly trembling backs also showed awe and loyalty in their hearts.
"My lord, all the armies have been stealthily drawn from the Forest of the Dead, and have managed to avoid the eyes of Grand Duke Clauvis, and if we follow our established march route from Lingqiu into the Forest of Turalion, we should be about to leave Tiga by the time they discover our whereabouts. ”
Elson replied respectfully without raising his head, he was a man of etiquette, and although Sandru had repeatedly told him that he could call himself a teacher, he was still respectful and inferior in public.
"Hmm. ”
Sandru nodded, believing in Elson's abilities, and then turned to look at the other man.
"What about you, Gru. ”
This brave adventurer has grown at an astonishing rate in the past year, not only has he successfully completed the tasks he has given him many times, but his personal strength has also broken through the level of a seventh-level warrior a few days ago, which has also laid a solid foundation for him to command the army in the future.
"Lord Tanan has agreed to our alliance plan, and he will attack the Erathians from behind once we enter the Turalian Forest, and he says that if we can successfully pin the army that Erathia has thrown into the forest to the Hammondel line, he will tear apart the dynasty established by Geffenhardt. ”
Gru didn't have any burden in his eyes when he said this, although he was of half-elf and half-human blood, and had given the greatest kindness and help to both races, but when war came, both humans and elves expelled him as a traitor.
Only if the person in front of him tolerates him, accepts him, and teaches him knowledge and strength, then using his courage to repay the gift of the other party is what he understands as loyalty.
So two months ago he traveled alone through the forests of Turalone and the Great Desert of Krurod into Tartaglia, found the legendary hero, and tried to bring about the alliance.
The two sides agreed to attack Erathia's army and cause as many killings as possible, with all the land going to Tanan, and all the souls and corpses after the battle going to Sandru, and Tanan only hesitated for a moment before agreeing to this suggestion.
The Erathians who supported Gwen-Magnus were undoubtedly his enemies, and they did not need mercy at all for their enemies.
As for whether the alliance partner he had never met had the strength he had promised, Tanan felt that the forces that could send a quasi-seventh-level warrior as an emissary would not lie.
As for whether this behavior is conspiring with the tiger, Tanan doesn't care at all now.
As long as we can join hands with him to tear a gap in the wall peak, let his Beamon Behemoth and the Ultimate Hydra trample on the territory of Bracada, and let those mages taste the hatred of the destruction of their homes and the killing and enslavement, even if the target of the alliance is the devil, it is not impossible to consider.
"Stronk, how is your zombie legion doing?"
Sandru turned to the ugly zombie who had been standing humbly and kneeling, unlike Elson and Gru, and Stronk who clinged to him in the end was also the weakest, not because he was partial and did not give any help and guidance, and he would not do this if he was magnanimous.
Suspects don't need to be suspicious, in fact, Sandru didn't help Stronk a lot, but due to talent, the latter entered the country slowly, and until now it has only stayed at the level of a fifth-level death knight, but one thing is gratifying is that Stronk does have a unique way of creating zombies.
The zombies he created were superior to normal zombies in terms of movement, attack, and defense, which would be extremely helpful in the upcoming war.
"Lord Hui, 20,000 zombies are already on standby in the burial ground under the Spirit Mound, and as long as our army passes through the other side, they can immediately leave the ground and fight with the army. ”
Stronk's leaky voice sounded under the seat, and he was as humble as ever, even more in awe, especially after deeply appreciating the strength and wisdom of this man on the throne over the past year, and the last bit of caution was completely put away by him.
"You've worked hard. ”
Sandru said lightly, and then looked at the last figure in the half-kneeling crowd under the seat that was covered by a black robe.
Unlike the others, this figure looked slightly slender and slender, and it turned out to be a woman.
"What's the news of that little guy lately? I'm curious to see what he's done. ”
When he asked this, there was a faint smile on the corner of Sandru's mouth, and he didn't hide his expectations at all.
"I'm sorry Your Excellency, since he sold a batch of sulfur ore rough and bought a batch of slave supplies from me more than half a year ago, I have asked the maritime pirates and even the fish-people to inquire about the future, and even sent my own fleet to search for it secretly, but I have not found the island where he stopped, and it is as if he has completely disappeared from this world. ”
The woman looked up, revealing a bewitching face that had captivated all beings, and replied respectfully.
Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce of the Border Pass City - Zoya!
And if Lear saw the badge on her chest again at this time, he would definitely be surprised - level seven!
Sandru was not disappointed when he heard this, it would be meaningless if everything could be completely controlled, not to mention that his target was still very weak, and the occasional concern was just a simple interest.
After all, there are so few interesting people in this world, if you have to kill them all in a hurry, then how lonely and boring this long journey of life must be.
"Tell me what he bought. ”
Sandru deserted at such an important military meeting, and it seemed that the battle plan that was going to be made next was completely inferior to his little personal hobby, and Vidnina only smiled faintly.
She naturally knew why her husband cared so much about the little one, and in fact she had a high degree of agreement with Sandru on this when she was a human.
Elson, who was well acquainted with Lear's deeds, also showed a curious gaze, and the others, though they did not understand the nature of the matter, were all silent with interest, except for Strongk's head buried lower, and the deep pupils blocked by his knees and elbows did not scatter a single bit of light.
"Grain, seeds, iron, ships, and most of all, slaves, oh yes, he also bought dozens of cannons. ”
Zoya carefully recalled the transaction and then went through the details.
"Cannons, are they the things that were erected on the walls of the border city?"
Sandru frowned, he had been to the border city before, and naturally he had seen that kind of thing called artillery.
Of course, he would not ignore this, but asked Zoya to bring various types of artillery for him to inspect, but in the end he came to the conclusion that this was a pile of useless things, and it was not as good as the large ballista used by the army on land to attack the city.
With his wisdom and erudition having come to this judgment, what is the use of Lear asking for these things?
"Yes, sir. ”
Zoya, who didn't know what Sandru was thinking, could only answer decently, the reason why she was attached to this man was also impressed by the other party's profound knowledge and strength, and she never dared to question Sandru's wisdom.
"It's kind of interesting. ”
Sandru stood up from the Bone Throne, and the moment he heard the name of the cannon, he had a feeling that he couldn't explain it, and it seemed that he would have some intersection with this kind of thing in the future, but it was just a very ethereal thought that he couldn't grasp anyway, so he didn't think about it anymore.
Anyway, that little guy always brings some unexpected surprises to others, and seems to know a lot of things that others don't know, but it's precisely because of this that it's more worth looking forward to, isn't it?
"So, let's go, and in the name of the Grim Reaper, let the world see what the necromancer really looks like. ”
Sandru's eyes stared into the eternal darkness beyond the main hall, and two green flames rose from under his eyes.
