"Why is there so little food this time?" Baron Dennis was dissatisfied with the quantity.

"Master, there have been fewer and fewer people who have been able to reach Gaunt safely lately. A good-looking woman came out to answer.

"It must have been that fool from Marut who told him not to hunt on important trade routes, for this guy is a subordinate of the Lich King and doesn't take me seriously at all. "Dennis is not only the hereditary baron of Gaunt, but he also secretly took refuge in the undead empire established by the undead many years ago, and received the same title as when he was human.

"Since the lich doesn't give face to its master, why don't you kill it?"

"The law of the jungle is the supremacy of the chaotic camp. ”

"Lest you be instructed by it all day long. ”

The blood slaves felt the baron's anger and echoed it,

If he were still human, this kind of boasting and compliments would definitely put Dennis in a good mood, but now that he is ** undead, he knows the difference in strength between himself and the lich. Unlike vampires, who can receive blood, the lich is a mage above the master level, he complains angrily, and can only shout in this small town where he is honored, if he really wants to be in front of the lich, he doesn't dare to say it so presumptuously. The existing lich in the empire are all carried out by the witch king himself**, all of them are loyal and trustworthy henchmen, not to mention complaining, it would be good if they were not punished.

In terms of strength and rank, they all overwhelm him, tsk~ What is the difference between this and human beings, the big nobles bully the small nobles, if it is not for the sake of ...... Well?

The baron, who had thought of it, suddenly felt uneasy, and it was said that the spirits of the dead, who were no longer living creatures, would only at one time experience the feeling of 'fear' again—annihilation.

Could it be that there are some powerful characters in this town?

Dennis asks who's in town today?

"Because of the Lich's interception, a caravan has come in the last few days. The Blood Slave didn't know why the Baron suddenly wanted to ask this, and replied truthfully, "There are four cars in total, and no goods are pulled." We have observed that, apart from the leading merchants and nobles, there is only one ranger, a bard, a priest, and no great character. ”

Isn't it awesome to be able to break through the lich's blockade? Killing the lich will naturally come to Gaunt to make up for it, and he can't stay here any longer. Dennis Hodi stood up.

Realizing that the vampire was about to escape, Link telepathically contacted Jafar and asked him to lean forward and take the survivors away.

The wolf, who had been following behind, opened the passage hidden behind the fireplace in human form, and waited for Link's signal in the underground passage.

Link stood up, and everyone's attention was instantly drawn to him.

"It's too late to slip away. ”

The word slipped irritated the vampire baron, and he sneered twice.

Judging by the opponent's hidden aura, he is a master at most. There are also different levels in the same rank, he is not as strong as the lich, but he is stronger than the human in front of him.

As long as they don't encounter the caste clergy, the undead can suppress the same rank and rank without any pressure.

Soon, Jafar followed Link's breath through the passage that stretched down from the ground to the massive stone hall.

"Oh~ Is there a helper?" Noticing that the humanoid Jafar had the aura of a beast that did not belong to a human, Dennis put away his contempt. Perhaps, these are the ones who killed the lich. He ordered the blood slaves through the psychic link to surround these two invaders!

Seeing a group of blood slaves rushing towards him, he could only meet them, fighting in a ** way, not only to attract the attention of the blood slaves, but also to avoid using spells to hurt the few humans who survived.

[Take them away first, and go to the high priest to check if they have been bitten.] 】

While using Link's bow and arrows to shoot the occasional Blood Slave who crossed Link, Jafar beckoned to the humans who were stunned by the sudden sight, "Come here if you want to live." ”

After a few seconds of froze, everyone scrambled to get up from the ground and run towards the passage where Jafar was standing.

"Don't want to escape!" Whether or not these two were among the ones who had gotten rid of the lich, Dennis would not let anyone in the know leave. He began to cast a spell to wipe out the invaders and the fleeing food.

With his palm facing outward, Link unleashed the pure energy spell that had just been created, and a strange red pillar of light gushed out, and the blood slaves in a circle turned into a little fluorescence as soon as they came into contact with this light technique. This scene was not seen by the humans who fled with their backs to him.

Dennis's vertical pupils turned into a thin slit in the light that reflected the entire stone hall red, and although he didn't know what the other party was casting, he could feel the pure energy. It doesn't seem big, but it can instantly dissociate living creatures into the most primitive state, which is beyond the scope of his understanding, and among the spells, it seems that only dissociation can do it. But this man is a mage, and he doesn't feel the breath of a mage at all, but more of a beast......

For a moment, Dennis remembered what the Blood Slave had just said, wasn't there a Ranger among the only caravan members in the last few days?

Some rangers learned natural spells from elves, but ...... With such a strong energy, not to mention a ranger, even an ordinary mage can't reach it, what is this guy?

The gut warning was correct, and Dennis felt threatened like never before. He stopped halfway through his spell and activated the vampire's special ability, Atomization, hoping to dodge the beam of light that was coming straight at him.

Link's pillar of light swept through the black mist that the vampire baron had turned into, and the Dawn Emblem on his left hand suddenly lit up, and the energy belonging to the god of light was added to the energy beam released by Link, and the black mist dissipated immediately as if it had been irradiated by the sun, revealing the original form of a vampire.

Dennis felt a strong burning sensation penetrate his body. With a 'bang', golden flames lit up all over his body.

"Ahhhhh

At this moment, Jafar returned to the surface from the passage and joined them with several terrified human males.

"What about him?" Doyle still refuses to call the man his father, and he is not in a position to call him by his first name.

"It's still down there. ”

"Why did you leave him alone?" said Doyle, but Doyle was still worried about his father's well-being. Ignoring Orlando's shouts, he ran straight to the hut where Jafar had come out.

The half-elf shrugged at the humanoid wolf, "Leave him alone, we're going according to plan, we can't leave these poor creatures behind." His words were unanimously echoed by several survivors.

In the stone hall, the vampire was burned by the beam of light infused with the power of the dawn, leaving only a pile of white ash.

Link stepped forward, reaching out to touch the ashes and using Divine Know.

It is learned that Dennis is a nobleman in the town, and that his father was a count at the time of the invasion of the undead, and that he is only a baron in his generation. Because Gaunt is a must-pass for the 6th trade route Vaolet, the town is small but can barely sustain itself. But as the empire's strategy shifted eastward, this humble town also became an important part of the Witch King's frosty chess game. In order to keep an eye on Vallet and control the trade routes to Kronberg, Frost Cold's lichs threatened or enticed to take all the important towns along the way, and even the merchants who traveled to and from this route for many years were unaware that the supply stations along their route were under the control of the undead.

Little by little, time draws to the final moment, until Link's appearance breaks Frost's original plan, and the Lich King has to close the net early. And the lich that was eliminated before was specially arranged to intercept Doyle, who had returned to Kronberg from the new capital.

This is the information that Baron Dennis, who has defected to the Immortal Empire in order to protect himself.

Melville was not even mentioned, was there another arrangement, or was it ......

Link remembers Orlando saying that the Ranger sacrificed himself to cover the caravan's evacuation and was killed by the Death Knight Lord Sebrien.

This is strange, even if Melville is a magic archer, his combat power will never be stronger than Doyle, why would Frost send a legendary rank to deal with the rangers, but only let the lich intercept Doyle? He should know that the church will not let such an important person go on the road alone, or is it that Frost Han deliberately relaxed Doyle's line in order to get him back to Cronberg? So, what is the use of the chess piece that remains with the duke? cannon fodder? Impossible, compared to Doyle, who is already an adult and a believer in Dawn, isn't it easier to control the fetus in the womb?

Hearing the sound of eager footsteps in the passage, Link grabbed two handfuls and stuffed them into the dimensional pouch that he couldn't leave.

Vampire's Ashes are rare materials for enchantment, and they can't be wasted!

As soon as he completed this action, Doyle ran out of the passage, and when he saw that Link was safe and sound, the worry on his face immediately turned into chagrin.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, but neither spoke. Returning to the surface along the passageway, Jafar informed Link that the High Priest had gathered all the people in the town who were still alive in the inn and told them to hurry back.

None of the blood slaves who lost their masters survived, and all of them turned into blood and water, and they were annihilated along with the vampires, and the whole town became even more dead.

Most of the survivors were concentrated in the inn, and they had just woken up from a dream and hangover, and they had no idea what had happened to them. People ask each other about what happened.

"Quiet!" the Great Priest's voice was not loud, but there was a momentum that was not angry but threatening, and everyone immediately fell silent.

"This town has been taken over by the undead. As soon as these words came out, the inn that had just been quiet exploded.

"What?"

"It can't be!"

"Aren't there still guards in town?"

Everyone asked.

"I said quietly, don't interject if you want to know, listen to what I'm talking about!" This time, Alysina used the magic technique, and everyone's feelings were stabilized. She looked at Link as he pushed the door in, and the latter nodded, indicating that the vampire had been cleared.

The next thing to do is to check the survivors for lurking undead. (To be continued.) )
