"There's not any movement on the other side of the fortress. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Vampire Lord Safin searched carefully, from the magic prism placed outside to the blood slave planted, the town of Brenda and the fortress have not changed much, he glanced at the lich beside him: "Are you sure the child of nature has returned?"

[Doesn't make sense...... They shouldn't be so calm. He went back alone?]

"There are two others, a half-elf half-elf and a Knight of Dawn. ”

【Oh...... This really surprised me. Hearing that Julian had gone back with him, the lich's soul flame flashed violently, but soon calmed down again.

"I always felt like you were hiding something from us. "As the three leaders of the Immortal Empire, Safin doesn't trust Frost at all.

Strictly speaking, the transformation of their father and son is also from this unknown name, directly parachuted by the god of death of the otherworldly weaver, at the beginning of the transformation, the undead's extreme emptiness and resentment made him hollow out his mind to revenge, but many attempts could not find the lich's life box, everything is done by himself, never fake the hands of others, and it is difficult to dig up its unknown secrets. Gradually, Safin, who has adapted to being an undead, forgets that he was once an elf, although he still wants to kill the lich, but he still has not found a way to annihilate his soul in one fell swoop.

[Everyone in this empire has a little secret of their own, doesn't they. The Lich has no vocal cords, and its 'voice' is made directly by magic, similar to sound but actually something more akin to perception. The uplifted tone was a bit ruffian, which made Safin want to beat him up.

[For example, the ...... hidden in your camp]

"That's enough! I don't mean anything else, I just think you have some plans of your own, this general attack is very important, you have a plan and don't tell us, if something goes wrong, the master will be guilty, none of us can bear it. Safin eagerly interrupted the lich and steered the conversation to the battle plan.

[Hehehe...... My plan was a slight departure from the original, but overall it went well, and as you can see, it won't be long before the fortress is completely captured. 】

"What are you going to do with that child of nature? It's the embodiment of the real thing, unlike the one you killed last time. Speaking of the Children of Nature, Safin couldn't help but think of the last time he surrounded and suppressed the Children of Nature of the Pillar of the Earth, even if he was just a novice who had just been selected, he only relied on the Pillar's divine grace to accompany most of the Lich Lord's combat power, although this guy may not want to take over the subordinates from the previous one.

[This is probably my only miscalculation, or maybe I didn't expect it.] The Pillar of Earth found a new apostle so quickly, and ...... Or from the other world, I don't know if it comes from the same place as me. The lich muttered to himself, as if caught up in some kind of recollection: "Is it someone I know......?" No, my plan is foolproof, no one should be able to crack it. But if it's really from Earth, it's troublesome. Modern people generally have no faith, and Zhu would really find such a person to be an apostle for himself?]

Safin watched the lich sing a one-man show alone, he didn't want to interject, he had been deceived in the past, and he didn't want to be fooled again this time. Victory is imminent, or is it still focused on how to conquer the fortress, as for the children of nature...... If it weren't for the fear that the lich wouldn't let him and his father die, he wouldn't have bothered.

Suddenly, Safin's mind flashed as he remembered the Lich's previous anomaly and its short, meaningful question.

Went back alone?

Surprise me.

Taking advantage of the lich falling into a state of self-talk, Safin sensed the blood slave, and through the control of the bloodline, it was synchronized with the blood slave planted in the high-ranking officer in a short time. Glancing around, Safin soon found that the two people who had returned to the fortress with the Children of Nature were there, especially the Knight of the Dawn, who was dressed in bright armor and had a status that was not low, and then listened to the names of others.

Deputy Head of Regiment......

Heh~ I knew that this guy was going to make trouble again. The thunderous inquisitor of heresy, one of the designated heirs of the next high priest, most of the underground dens established in the empire were eliminated by him, and even if such a role is degenerate, it is impossible to give him the position of head of the regiment. is also a knight, and it is indeed his father who calculates......

"Smack-"

The lich's self-talk came to an abrupt halt, and it looked at the place where the voice had come from—somehow, the magic orb on the vampire lord's chest suddenly shattered.

"One of my eyeliners buried in the fortress was discovered. Safin replied indifferently, "But I heard an important piece of information, the alliance is about to withdraw its troops." ”

"What are you doing!!" Ortega glared at Nature's children with a grim face, and the creature suddenly grabbed the candlestick on the table and threw it at a mage who was maintaining the shadow channeling spell, the sharp metal stabbing him in the chest, and he fell to the ground almost instantly.

Link ignored it and walked over, and when the candlestick was pulled out, everyone exclaimed—there was no blood!, except for a small black stain of blood on the tip of the candlestick, which was clearly a dead body.

"And say you're not traitors!" said Mario, who had the hottest temper, drew his sword and pointed at Ortega, who was also stunned.

"He didn't know that it was a blood slave. Link stopped a verbal attack on the mage just in time.

"If you are a member of the mage group, you can't get out of it. Mario's voice lowered, but the viewer's eyes were full of suspicion.

The people in the command post also surrounded the mage, and in their opinion, if the mage has a blood slave, there will be a second and a third, plus the children of nature pointed out that the lich had entered Hohenheim openly and used it as a springboard to become the emperor's personal advisor, Hohenheim could not get out of it.

Link looked down for a moment, and as he looked up again, a fluorescent-white ring spread out of his body.

"Ahh

"What is this?"

"What's going on?"

Screams followed, and people found that many of the people around them had turned to ashes, as if they had been petrified, and when they reached out and touched them, they scattered into ashes.

Julian leaned down and touched the ashes that still had a little residual warmth, and sensed a powerful magic from it, which should be purification or something. And those who turned into ashes don't need to think about it, of course, they are blood slaves who rely on living people to hide the identity of the undead, and only high-level divine skills can be completely purified and eliminated.

Without Link's explanation, the person who came to his senses was clearly aware of what was going on.

"There are so many ......," Mario counted silently in his heart, and there were only twenty or thirty senior officers in the command post, and one-third of them were turned to ashes on the ground. He didn't dare to think about how many blood slaves there were among the low-level soldiers and the townspeople.

"Rest assured, if the number is really superior, the undead would have already conquered the fortress from the inside, and they would still need such a big effort? "Dante, who is the closest to him, is worried that Mario will have a nervous breakdown, the number of Imperial soldiers is the largest in the fortress, and the retreat will depend on this commander to take charge of the overall situation, but nothing can go wrong.

"I had a rough sense of it, and the majority of them were officers, and the rest were scattered among the civilians, but the lower ranks were very clean. Link looked down and thought that he was using magic just now, and he had always known the distribution of blood slaves in the fortress and town.

"Why is that?" asked Mario, curious.

"Blood slaves are the personal property of vampires, and their high self-consciousness is not suitable for making skeletons and zombies, while death knights and necromancers are too demanding of flesh and will, and people who are easily controlled are not eligible. Link was the first to walk out of the command post, "Everyone, let's go immediately, the enemy army has already put all the spies around you, if you don't leave, they will attack the city." ”

Ortega looked at the child of nature who had gone away, not to mention how uncomfortable it was in his heart. After staying in the Northern Fortress for so many years, he has no merit, and he has to go back with the name of defeat, let alone promotion, and if he doesn't do well, he will be ridiculed, it's really ...... How could I have agreed to such a thankless task in the first place?

The commanders immediately set about the retreat, and as early as the establishment of the retreat, the retreat was a standing drill project, and it was to be simulated every three or five days. Many civilians were awakened in their sleep by a knock on the door, and as soon as they heard that the undead were going to attack, they took the dry food and money they had prepared in advance, and began their escape journey south under the leadership of the soldiers.

"Follow the group, don't be left behind!" said Mario, riding his colt back and forth along the group.

Standing on the partially mutilated battlements, Link looked at the long line already lined up in the snow, silently sending his blessings, hoping that they would all arrive safely, though he knew that it was impossible.

Dwarf Dent asks Orlando, who wears armor, why doesn't he withdraw with the big army?

"My instincts tell me it's safer to follow Nature's children. Armed with his bow and arrows, Orlando walked up to the city wall and saw in the distance the white deer glowing with holiness, and since the retreat, the Child of Nature had been in that gesture, announcing in a high-profile manner that he would remain behind the temple. It is not only to stabilize the military spirit of the retreating army, but also to give comfort to the remnants of the soldiers who are not suitable for long-distance travel.

"Why don't you leave?"

"Dwarven death is the highest honor for a dwarf, and although I may become an undead after death, I still can't resist the temptation to fight alongside the incarnation-level children of nature. Dante waved the giant axe in his hand, and there was unrepentant faith in his eyes, and death in battle belonged to the warrior. Even if he withdraws with the army, no matter what cause he dies in the future, it is not to be dug out by the undead and become a member of the undead empire, it is better to let the children of nature give him a good time.

"I have long told the Children of Nature that once I am infected, I will be purified directly, so as not to increase the combat power of the undead. ”

"Huh?" Orlando was stunned, he didn't expect the dwarf to make up his mind to die early, compared to himself...... But he only wanted to live, and for a moment a sense of shame took over his heart.

The horn of warning sounded, and all those who remained in the fortress were shocked, and the stalled attack after the return of the Child of Nature began again. (To be continued.) )
