"Hmm......" The second-class wizard of the Elna people, Yudina pondered for a moment, obviously the things here were not what he expected, "Let's go and report the matter here to His Highness Shirinfell and Lord Ethes, and apply for more reinforcements, can't we?" ”

"Of course not. www.biquge.info"Don't forget that the Lost Lock can only enter ten people at a time, and that when you leave—well, or die here," Lynn replied cheerfully, "and don't forget that the Lost Lock can only enter ten people at a time, and that you'll have to wait a month before you can produce a new key." She pouted, "Or are you going to ask Shirinfell to lift the locks and let the monsters rush into the forest?" ”

"That'...... But ......"

"Nothing." Amberly raised her bear paw and slapped the wizard with a slap - she didn't have any strength, otherwise I'm afraid Yudina would have been lying on the ground and couldn't get up, "Of course, you can also go back and pass on the information first, I will definitely not stop you!" ”

"Forget it." The wizard took two deep breaths, "The current intelligence is not enough, but I think that when we get more information, it may be necessary to send someone back to report it in advance - so that even if we fail, the people outside will have more time and information to take precautions." ”

"Sounds reasonable, huh?" Lily clasped her hands to her chest, "So, what are we going to do now?" ”

"Go in the direction of the undead's evacuation." Yuffie thought for a moment and then made a proposal, "It's necessary to find out who is ruling these undead. And...... Demons are our undoubted enemies, and these undead may be allies. ”

"As long as you don't let me fight those disgusting monsters, it's fine!" Bell muttered, "It feels three times more disgusting than a mud monster or something!" ”

"You're going to have to fight with them sooner or later." Lily said mercilessly, "But that's not now, let's go." ”

They followed in the footsteps of the undead, to the side away from the forest. The zombies move quite slowly, and the team doesn't have to make much effort to keep up. As the team moved forward, the faintly visible gray city wall slowly poked its head out of the horizon.

"The city of Milano, the border city of the Oren Empire, is not precipitous, but the walls are strong and not easy to capture." "According to my mother's account, when she entered the Lockdown more than 20 years ago, it was full of undead wandering around, and there were no visible organizations or groups. She squinted her eyes and looked at the city wall in the distance, "That is to say, the 'man' who commands these undead has only been in this city for more than ten years. ”

"And it probably won't be that long." Lin interjected, "No matter what, it's not really an abyss here. If the previous war had been fought for more than ten years, it would have felt too outrageous - the traces of damage left behind would have been much more serious, right? ”

"But no one has been in here for years." Alphonse raised his arm and made a chin gesture, "Could it be that Yuffie's mother came in and left that person here?" ”

Sounds like? Lily blinked and looked at the pink girl.

"Mom wouldn't do that." Unexpectedly, Yuffie denied the speculation of the agency, "She doesn't want to care about this kind of nosy, even if she does, she will definitely tell Ms. Shirinfell." Besides, there were only three people who entered the maze twenty years ago, and they must have all left here, right? ”

"It's useless to think so much." Lily concluded, "Go straight into the city and see, and you'll know everything." ”

The towering walls may be able to hold back the armies of the Elna, or the armies of demons, but they can't stop this team of only eight people. Yuffie cast a floating spell on everyone, and another spell to obscure everyone's form—flapping her wings would make a sound, and casting these rudimentary spells was not too much effort for her. Then, silently, the entire squad climbed over the walls and landed in the corners of the city.

The streets are quiet. The undead don't need to eat, sleep, or even breathe - these advantages are similar to those of golems, but golems can be much more expensive than undead. They were neatly arranged in a phalanx, like clay sculptures and wood sculptures, and they did not speak or move, and they stood there quietly, with the scars left on their bodies, waiting for the next battle to come.

Of course, that's only part of the story. As Lily and the others marched into the city, the streets and squares became lively. The undead workers clumsily poured the corpses of their comrades or enemies from the battlefield into large baskets and put them together in barely visible form of bodies and limbs. A strong rancid stench mixed with something as if it were burnt

The stench of the foul came to her face—the latter from the devils—that caused Lily, who had a keen sense of smell, to sneeze slightly.

"Hmm...... I'm sorry. She whispered, but the undead had poor perception and couldn't hear her voice.

She covered her nose to get used to the smell of the air a little before continuing to approach cautiously.

In a short time, the streets of the dilapidated square were filled with human figures of various shapes, made of corpses and bones. In the meantime, Yuffie added a spell for invisibility, and cast a spell around the crowd to block out sounds and smells. Two undead guards patrolled by the team no more than a few meters away on skeletal horses, completely oblivious to their presence.

"Would you like to say hello?" Amberly lowered her voice, though it wasn't really necessary, "Those guys should be able to talk, right?" ”

"Wait a little longer." Yuffie replied, "Those pieces of meat are used to make the undead, and the maker should be here soon." ”

Just as the girl expected, about half an hour later, a figure guarded by four undead guards floated in the air and slowly came.

Their armor was covered with the nicks of the blows, as well as dark marks, apparently from previous battles. Unlike other undead guards, their mounts are not skeleton steeds, but bipedal reptilian creatures with wings. They are long dead, and their muscular bodies are emaciated, but their tough skin has not decayed for hundreds of years, clinging to the outside of the skeleton and remaining intact.

Lily recognized it as a green drake—a creature that was close to a dragon in form, but lacked sufficient intelligence, and its habitat was widespread in every forest on the continent. Their wings are capable of supporting their short flights, and they also have the ability to spit acid, making them quite powerful magical creatures. Because the meat is firm and delicious, it is very difficult to catch, and it is sold for a high price in the market, making it one of the hunters' dream prey.

I didn't expect to see four of them here at once, but it seemed that I couldn't eat them anymore, she thought with some regret.

In a moment of thought, the guard and the man in it gradually approached the square. At this distance, the mercenary can already see the appearance of the other party. The man was dressed in a shabby robe, which was so dirty that it was no longer visible in its original color. His hands were empty, his bare skin pale and smudged, and his limbs were so slender that they seemed to break off at a moment's notice. His eye sockets were no longer normal pupils, but a pair of dancing green flames—proof that he was no longer human.

A Lich - A powerful undead spellcaster who has completely retained his sanity and knowledge from his previous days.

"Be careful—" Yuffie suddenly warned behind him, "There's a wraith coming!" They can sense life—"

Before the words fell, about twenty meters away from the team, two floating black shadows opened their translucent mouths and let out a terrible and piercing scream.
