Chapter 372: All parties moved
Arthas's Scourge Legion unwittingly swept up a violent wind that shook the entire continent, and the most suspicious of them was probably the pilgrims from the island of the dead of Atholos, the undead who had just landed on the eastern continent from Atholos Island soon got a bad news, and the countries of the continent were taking strict precautions against the undead, the reason for which was the sudden appearance of a large army in the territory of the western kingdom of Balleka. This army of entirely undead creatures has captured a city and slaughtered all the citizens and the increased army, and now the western part of the continent is on high alert, and almost all mages who have studied and come into contact with undead magic are under scrutiny.
An army of 400,000 undead slaughtered a city in the realm of the gods, and even killed the kingdom army in charge of encirclement and suppression, and even converted all of them into undead creatures!?
When they first got the news, all the necromancers from Athelos Island had only one idea, which was complete nonsense! The 400,000-strong undead army was not at all something that a necromancer could control, not even the leader of Atholos Isle of the Dead, an 18-level witch Belsmore. Even if there were enough necromancers to scrape together so many undead creatures, it would take at least a few hundred years to collect the 'materials' and then sift through and transform them, and such a long and huge work would simply not be able to hide from the world. But seeing the tense appearance of the countries on the mainland now, coupled with the fact that magic guide devices to check undead creatures have been added to the checkpoints in various places, this qiΔ indication indicates that the rumors from the western continent are probably true!
Now the necromancers gathered in a deserted valley in a country on the eastern continent were discussing their next move, and hundreds of high-level undead warriors were on the alert. The sky was overcast, and even sunlight could not shine through the clouds to the ground. At this moment, there was no life left in the entire valley, and even rats and insects fled in fear of the breath of death emanating from the dead.
Obviously, this pilgrimage has been caught by the sudden appearance of the army of the undead. It doesn't matter if the countries on the mainland block the checkpoints, the necromancer is a can't see the light, but for those unknown undead in the western part of the continent as a ritual, they should also go to visitββMaybe the appearance of these undead is also related to the advent of the transcendent.
A high-ranking necromancer in the ranks of the undead stepped out, his whole body wrapped in a bandage with strange runes written on it, he did not carry a staff but wore a dark dagger, and said slowly in a chilling voice like rusted gears squeezed together: "Fellow citizens of the same ideal, it is the ideal of our life to pursue death, to explore death, and to transcend death, and we cannot miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the transcendent recorded by the great teacher Atheros to re-enter after ten thousand years." No accident should be a stepping stone to this pilgrimage. β
The surrounding undead whispered in agreement. Indeed, every deceased here has waited too long, some for eternal life, some for the resurrection of their loved ones, some for the pursuit of the ultimate truth, and now the transcendent one who brings the answer has come. Then any sand that stands in your way should be removed!
The shadow of death is not just spreading in the western part of the continent. The eastern continent is also beginning to be shrouded in ominous shadows.
Of course, for the dead who make the living fearful like tigers. Some people were also overjoyed. In the Golden Spike territory, the succubus queen Sharien received a good news and a bad news at the same time, the good news is that the undead who had been staying in the Northland to attack the Oge barbarians did not know why they suddenly moved to the range of the Holy Capital, and slaughtered the city with a bang, and almost wiped out the kingdom army that came to encircle and suppress it. This carnage instantly generated an unimaginable abyssal force on the ground. For the Pain Lord, who has recently been unable to stir up the rebellion and has been repaired, the attack of the undead army on the Holy Capital can be said to have alleviated the danger for the Pain Lord.
There are many demon lords in the abyss who are interested in this sudden undead army and the manipulators behind it, including the succubus queen Sarrien's own attachment to the killing master Areguso, the actions of the undead army have shown that they are enemies of the five supreme gods, and most importantly, this undead army is different from other undead people, and the living who die at the hands of the undead army will be as terrible as snowballing back to become a part of the undead army in a very short time. Expanding at this rate, if the Holy Capital doesn't take action in time to contain this army of the undead, it won't be long before the army of the undead can turn half of the continent into a dead place full of tombstones!
Gaining the allegiance of this army of the undead and the manipulators behind it is the idea of almost every Demon Master, and with these Undead it is estimated that it will not be long before a huge meeting point in the main material plane can be created enough for the Demon Lord to enter and exit!
It's just that the succubus queen Sharion is not interested in this 'well-done' army of undead for the time being, and even Sharine, who is interested in the Golden Spike territory, doesn't have such a long hand to reach over, and then I'm afraid she will have to count on her master Alegusor to play games with other masters. And now Sharine is thinking more about the bad news, that is, Alisa's mother, the Marquise Angelina, suddenly sent a message that Lady Angelina could not come to the Golden Spike Territory as scheduled because of some important matters, and brought a letter asking for it to be given to her daughter.
This news naturally made Sarien very angry, and she could have immediately manipulated the Westphalian family in her hands, but now that this kind of thing went wrong, the next plan had to be changed.
Of course, the letter written by the Marquise to her daughter was naturally handed over directly to Sharina, and the content of the letter did not show any problems, just some mothers' greetings and comforting words to their daughter, but there was always an ominous omen in Sharina's heart, and the Marquise Angelina's sudden change of itinerary did not seem to be that simple reason.
The only thing that comforts Sarien, who has always had things going wrong lately, is that the idiot prince Silvado has been a little more honest lately after being taught a lesson by the Black Dragon Prince and the White Dragon Emissary last time.
But when it comes to the Black Dragon Prince, the Succubus Queen's seductive eyes can't help but close slightly. Some parts of the first airship have quietly arrived in the Golden Spike territory, and His Royal Highness the Black Dragon Prince is also very neat in handling things, and if possible, Sharion wants to make a deal with him.
ββββββββββββββββ
In the royal capital of the Carl Sulmen Empire, Klossed, who was riding in the special carriage of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, leaned on the soft leather sofa a little sullenly, and opposite the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce sat Emma, a female assistant who was still sorting out the materials.
Looking at Klossed's not very satisfied look, the female assistant Emma also said helplessly: "Hey~ I have to say that His Royal Highness the Prince of the Karlsmen Empire has a really big appetite. β
"βββ" Crossside was silent for a moment and shook his head: "It can't be said that I have too much appetite, but this time it was indeed my mistake, and I was not able to hide my intentions in the negotiation and was noticed by the other partyββI almost forgot which prince is a careerist." If he knew the girl's identity, he would have made a deal with Arin himself. β
"Arin!?President your friend?"
Klossed, who found that he had leaked his mouth, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "I should say that I am an old friend with my father." can be regarded as a relatively powerful figure. β
A friend who had a relationship with Vice President Crossed's father seemed to be a relatively powerful businessman, but it seemed that he had never heard of this man's name, and Emma didn't think much of it.
In the palace, Augusta, the prince of the Empire of Carl Sermun, watched the carriage gradually leaving the palace. Augusta, who was still nominally a prince but was actually the ruler of the entire empire, was thinking meaningfully at the moment. A request made today by Klossed after the negotiations. A very puzzling request, Crossside wants to buy the little elf girl he bought back for 10 million rien.
Although the other party offered a rather heart-warming price, although the little girl did have a beautiful face that was enough to make people's hearts move. But Augusta always felt that the vice president who single-handedly created the miracle of the entire Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce should not be the kind of person who would do meaningless business. Since the other party is willing to pay such a high price, it means one thing: the elf girl in his hand must have a higher value. Thinking of this, Augusta smiled meaningfully.
"My dear brother, is there anything that makes you so happy today?"
A pleasant and sweet voice like honey sounded in Augusta's ears, dressed in a luxurious dress and holding a golden feather fan, with a beautiful face that turned all beings upside down, with Nona's colorful sexy figure, like a stunner who captivated the country and the city, the beautiful girl slowly walked towards Augusta in the company of two equally beautiful maids.
Facing this stunner who was enough to make the heart of any man in the world excited, Augusta just smiled calmly and said, "Selene, why aren't you with Miss Director today?"
The half-sister of Prince Augusta, Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Karlssermen Empire is also the most prestigious golden gem in the entire Empire, and this proud princess, who is usually not pretended to be in front of anyone, now looks at her blood brother with affection and softly says: "No way, since our Miss Director got a new 'pet', she has long forgotten about me." β
"That's right, that's a bit of a problem!" Augusta shook his head helplessly.
"Actually, I don't hate Miss Director's interest, compared to those fake men, sometimes it feels good to be with a more direct girl like her, it's just ββ" Selene's beautiful face showed a look of 'resentment': "Is it not as charming as a little girl, hey~ Maybe it's more attractive to be of the same race after all." β
Speaking of this, Selene showed a sly and cute smile: "But I have to say that Miss Director is indeed very skillful, under her tutelage, the mages in the technical department are working with two hundred percent of their energy every day." β
Augusta sat down on the couch with his sister with great satisfaction, and began to chat like an ordinary brother and sister without restraint. The maid quickly prepared refreshments and waited on the side, Augusta knew very well that his sister Princess Selene was the most dazzling golden jewel of the Carl Sulmen Empire, not only because of her stunning beauty that turned everyone upside down, but also because of her extremely delicate mind, and she was very good at using the advantages of being a female protagonist to seduce and use men who had intentions for her to help her achieve her goals.
Just like a bright rose exudes an alluring fragrance, but anyone who tries to force this rose will be pricked by the thorns, and this rose will only bloom proudly in the presence of Augusta. Augusta can naturally see Selene's thoughts, but after all, there is a so-called blood gap between the two, and Augusta still thinks of another woman who can't let go of her heart.
"Selene~ If I want to take back that girl now, do you think our Miss Director will let it go?" Augusta suddenly asked while laughing. (To be continued......)
