Chapter 8: Building the City

"No one knows why, this question is now being answered by the top leaders of the various forces and most of the powerhouses. Vral didn't tease Catherine for her small mistake, but just said with a straight face: "Everyone only saw the result, that is, after the undead increased to a certain number, they stopped increasing their numbers, except for some who continued to serve as guards, the remaining undead concentrated on strengthening their positions, solidifying the fortifications, and even building higher walls." ”

"Fence?" Pannis asked, raising an eyebrow, "even if they have self-awareness, know how to fight war, and know how to build fortifications, but what do they build walls for?"

"I don't know, maybe it's to strengthen the position, after all, for a war, it is far more secure to rely on a wall to defend than to defend in an open area with only fortifications. "But I have another suspicion, I think they don't just want to defend, they want to ......."

"They want to build a city?" "Panissian Floral took a step and said his inner guess in a thoughtful tone, "Lord Yara, are they trying to build a city for the undead around the Death's Gate?"

"That's what I suspected. Vral smiled wryly and nodded, "Of course, it doesn't have to be a city, it could be a military fortress, but in any case, they are not just fortifications. ”

"I think we're all wrong. Pannis groaned his chin and said, "This time we shouldn't treat them as undead again, we should treat them as a peer race with the same intelligence, maybe this change of thinking will help us understand their behavior." Of course, not all of them may have wisdom, but at least some of them are not normal. ”

"After more than a hundred years, the undead have suddenly become all intelligent, how likely do you think this is?" Vorar asked rhetorically: "I can understand that there are a few sane individuals from hundreds of millions of unconscious undead, but if I want to produce so many undead who will take the initiative to build cities, to be honest, although I am willing to believe in this possibility, it is difficult for me to convince myself, and it is even more difficult for me to convince others." ”

"Anything is possible, isn't it?" asked Pannis, rhetorically, "Do you remember what the lion often muttered?"

"If something has the potential to go bad, it is bound to happen at some point, no matter how unlikely it is. Vral sighed and said, "I thought of this sentence at the time, but this sentence alone is probably not convincing enough. ”

"Let's put this aside for now, and don't think about it. Pannis smiled strangely, "Assuming this is true, these undead who came out are all wise, you must have imagined it, right?"

"Well, I'm sure I've analyzed what would happen behind this possibility. Vrard's pointed ears trembled, and it was not until the faint passage of life from a distance that he whispered: "The result is terrible, our biggest advantage against the undead is that the undead do not have a clear sense of self, they will only blindly chase and kill living beings, they don't understand tactics, and they don't know how to cooperate, so even if they are numerous, they can be gradually eliminated through guò tactics, but if they also understand tactics and cooperation, it will be different, with the same number of undead tides, it can only be us who are eliminated." ”

"But if you think about it another way, maybe that's not necessarily a bad thing. Pannis, who met the girl's strange gaze, said meaningfully, "I think you must have thought of it before me, hehe." ”

"Ahem. Mur coughed dryly, got up and said: "I have just been promoted to a demigod, and my current state is not very stable, I need time to solidify, you talk first, I will leave first." ”

"This is the second time you've said something like that. Catherine looked at Moore's back as she left in a hurry, and whispered, "Maybe I'm too stupid, but I really can't understand your thoughts, why isn't it necessarily a bad thing?"

"Eldest sister, although I didn't understand that the door of death was opened for the first time, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but this time I did. Freya nodded to the knight maiden, "It's not necessarily a bad thing. ”

"I'll explain the first time later. Pannis said: "And this time, I think His Majesty should have secretly made corresponding countermeasures, but it is not convenient to publicize it publicly, right?" ”

"Huh, I can't hide it from you, indeed, I have sent an envoy to try to contact the undead privately, but the envoy has sent back a message that he can't get close to the gathering place of the undead. Furar's ears twitched, and he lowered his voice and said, "As long as he tries to approach, even if he is alone, he will be threatened by the undead, and if he continues to approach without heeding the warning, the undead will not hesitate to launch a long-range attack." Moreover, there are already demigod-level undead in the opponent's position, and the secret envoy is not sure to come and go freely, so he has not been able to successfully contact the other party yet. Moreover, according to the secret envoy, we are not the only forces that are trying to contact the undead privately, and almost all of them are trying to send people to contact them. However, this kind of behavior can only be carried out in private, and even if everyone understands it in their hearts, it cannot be publicized publicly, otherwise the act of colluding with the undead will easily shake the troops, and it will also be easily used by some people as a means of attack, both internally and externally. ”

"Understandable. Pannis nodded and said: "A hundred years ago, in the battle of the return of the dead, after all, too many people died, and the hatred for the undead has not completely receded, and the longer the life of the race, the more like this, your behavior, I'm afraid it is under a lot of pressure." ”

Vral shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I had the crown of fighting against the undead heroes back then, I'm afraid there wouldn't be a few people who supported me in doing this, but even so, among some of the members of the Council of Elders who knew the inside story, there was no unanimity, so they didn't dare to discuss it at the Council of Elders." ”

"Well, I see, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Although Catherine is smart enough and good at grasping people's hearts as a knight who admires light, she is still a little slower than Freya, who has been in contact with this aspect for a long time, until then she came to her senses and said in a low voice: "But isn't it a little hasty to contact them at this time, and besides, why can't everyone contact them together, well, I understand, damn interests." ”
