A solitary palace of bones, standing on top of a mountain.
William and Sumera landed on the stairs leading to the Bone King's Palace, and William looked around, and saw that it was desolate and barren, empty, and there was no trace of the army.
Thundered!
Outside the valley, the trampling of the Death Knight's iron knights rolled and grew louder and closer.
William condescended, peering out of the valley. At the end of his line of sight, a black line of thousands of death knights appeared.
The distance between the two sides is no more than 100 miles.
On the side of the Death Knight, the leading Death Knight Lord suddenly drew his long sword and commanded the Death Knights behind him to charge.
"Henara, you're looking for death!"
Sumera licked her lips bloodthirsty. She raised the wand in her hand, and one after another the magic fluctuated, like sound waves, and gradually penetrated into the bottom of the valley: "My sleeping people, the enemy is about to enter the palace, wake up, fight!"
As soon as Sumera finished speaking, William suddenly felt that the mountains shook for a while.
Whoa......
Countless sounds like noisy beans came to my ears.
In the white valley, at the feet of William and Sumela, a short skeleton soldier with blue ghostly fire in his eyes emerged from the surface.
A large area of dense and dense land, covering the entire valley, is innumerable and overwhelming.
The scene is spectacular!
Thousands of Death Knights, against tens of thousands of skeletons!
The battle, just like that, silently, began.
William was at a high level, and he saw this cruel war without screams and blood best.
Thousands of Death Knights, after a dash, possess unrivaled combat power. And as the thousands of death knights approached the valley, they suddenly split into three strands, like three sharp swords about to be inserted into the heart, wanting to attack the hinterland and bulldoze the White Bone Palace in Sumerah.
Just one face, on the periphery of the white valley, there were hundreds of skeleton soldiers, who were smashed into skeletons alive and shattered.
Sumera didn't blink her eyelids, ignoring it.
When the skeletons and the Death Knight meet, they turn the valley into a battlefield and fight fiercely.
Several skeletons jumped onto a tall and formidable death knight and clung to it, as if trying to pull him off the skeleton horse.
A Death Knight shot a sharp bone spear in his hand, and in one fell swoop, he shot several skeletons in front of him to shoot a cross, like a sugar gourd.
In particular, the Death Knight Lord named 'Henara' was extremely extraordinary, and with a random swing of his long sword, he could hack a large number of people to death.
Countless skeleton soldiers died, fell, and were quickly mutilated to pieces, trampled to pieces by their comrades and enemy troops.
Thousands of death knights, like a bamboo, singing all the way!
"Can you beat it?" asked William, frowning.
Sumera looked disdainful, and pointed her wand at the enemy army, "Do you see the leader of the Death Knight's side?" β
William nodded.
"It's called Henara, and it's a small lord near my domain. Originally, as a neighbor, they should live in harmony, but they are not dead in their hearts, and they have to spy on my territory. Almost every year, after recuperation, Henara would lead his troops to attack, but I was defeated again and again and rushed back to his hometown. β
Sumera explained.
As far as I know, once a dead thing loses its soul fire, it cannot die again, and there is no possibility of resurrection. William asked rhetorically.
Sumera sneered: "Where is there so to kill it." Don't look at the guy who rushes the hardest, if the signs are wrong, that guy must be the fastest one. β
William was silent.
He didn't ask any more questions and continued to watch the situation on the battlefield change.
By this time, the effect of thousands of Death Knights' charges had disappeared, the sprint speed had slowed down, and the combat power had also decreased a lot.
The side that was still strong before, but now it is in a stalemate.
Soon, the mighty Death Knight finally suffered casualties.
It was a tall and mighty death knight. The bone spear in its hand was used, and the longsword was blunted, and a skeleton seized the opportunity to take away the weapon.
At this time, more than twenty skeleton soldiers swarmed up and dragged him under his horse.
The result for this Death Knight was miserable. The sword was snatched from it, the falling horse was swarmed up, the armor was stripped off, and eventually, its head was smashed to pieces by a skeleton soldier holding a white stone aloft aloft in the air, and the fire of its soul was extinguished, and it could no longer die.
And its mount, the tall skeletal warhorse, was also captured by a skeleton soldier.
This lucky guy directly turned over and rode on the skeleton warhorse, broke a rib as a weapon, and launched a counter-charge against the dead side of the opposing camp, with groups of skeleton soldiers behind him.
......
This cruel war in the undead world lasted for most of the hour. In the end, the Death Knights' side still failed, and the only few hundred Death Knights fled under the leadership of the wise and decisive Lord Henara.
Skeletons don't need to be ordered to clean up the battlefield on their own.
William also walked down the stairs. He approached a small skeleton soldier and crouched down, observing it closely.
This is a skeleton soldier 'wounded'. I saw that there was a crack in its skull, and the ribs in its chest were broken, and only one backbone was left to support it, and it was crumbling.
And in the withered hands of the wounded skeleton soldier, he held a head. It found a stone, smashed the skull with force, and suddenly leaned in and took a breath, absorbing the well-preserved soul fire in the skull.
At this moment, William clearly saw that the soul fire in the eyes of the skeleton soldier wounded soldier also brightened a little.
William was amazed. He had learned in the audit class of the Imperial Capital Magic Academy that the advancement of dead things required a large amount of soul fire.
William became more and more interested, and continued to observe.
After absorbing the soul fire, the skeleton soldier made his way to the center of the battlefield. Here, there is a small hill made of human remains.
The skeleton soldier rummaged through the small hill of remains, and soon, he found a few well-preserved ribs, and with a "click", loaded on himself.
Then, it turned around and stared at William motionlessly, silently stunned.
There was a slight sound of footsteps, and Sumera walked up to William's side.
"You're wondering what it's thinking, aren't you?" said Sumera.
"It should be curious about me. William replied.
"No, you're wrong. It's just taking you, an alien creature, as an enemy, and trying to attack you. But with my command, it won't do that. Alright, let's get out of this damn place. β
William was stunned, "Leave so soon?"
"Of course. After the great battle just now, I don't have much magic left, unless you return the Ring of the Dead to me, otherwise once my magic power is exhausted, I will eventually be corroded by the dead air here. β
"What to give you back, didn't I say it, what's yours is mine, what's mine is mine. William smiled, not in the slightest intention of returning the Ring of the Dead.
Then, with William's cooperation, Sumera summoned the Black Portal once again.
At the same time, in the Kuwait Province of the Holy Spirit Empire, in the small grove of Sunset Valley, and in the small courtyard of Sumera, the space was distorted, and the exit of the black portal slowly opened.
William and Sumera leap out of it, returning from the realm of the dead and back to the real world.
This trip to the realm of the dead seems to have taken a lot of toll on Sumera. She drove William away directly, claiming to be closed and recuperate for a while.
William was helpless.
His life suddenly returned to calm and busyness.
Time passed day by day, and finally, after a month and a half of time, with the concerted efforts of everyone, the brewery in Sunset Valley was successfully completed.
On this day, William stood on the top of Sunset Valley, looking down, only to see the new buildings, displayed in tall wooden fences, in good order.
Just looking at it, there is a feeling of pleasing to the eye.
William was satisfied.
After the brewery was remodeled, the next step was to buy brewing equipment, purchase raw materials for brewing, and hire brewers to produce beer.
William also leaves Sunset Valley and returns to Sunset Town. He was to consult with his father, Baron Bazado, about renting a faΓ§ade and opening a tavern.
At this meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, the old butler Bill was also present, and put forward a lot of useful and pertinent suggestions, which made William quite useful.
Originally, according to William's idea, he was going to open a tavern in Sunset Town, but Bill, the old butler, felt that this was inappropriate.
"Master William, the names of our people in Sunset Town, because of the problem of paying taxes every year, in fact, every family does not have too much savings and surplus food. I think it's better to rent a storefront in Abis City and open a tavern there. β
"Ibis City, the largest city in Kuwait, is a place where people come and go, and there is a lot of traffic. Moreover, the city of Ebys was inhabited by many wealthy nobles, who completely consumed the high price of beer. β
At the council, the old butler put forward his own opinions, and analyzed them with reason.
William nodded, not making his own remarks, thinking about whether it would be feasible to open a tavern in Abis City.
"It's not appropriate to open a tavern in Abis City. β
His father, Baron Bazado, shook his head and expressed his opinion: "First of all, although Albis City is the largest city in Kuwait Province and has a lot of foot traffic, the rent of the storefront there is also very expensive. Besides, there are so many taverns there that there is too much competition. β
William nodded again, equally feeling that what his father, Baron Bazado, had a point.
Several people discussed and discussed, but they did not discuss a result.
"Why don't you open a tavern in Wildfire?" said William suddenly.
Baron Bazado frowned, instinctively refusing the offer. But when he thought about it carefully and figured out the key points, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Wildfire Town, what a good idea, Young Master William!" the old butler also exclaimed.
