Field of the Undead. A region full of undead, buried deep underground, and wandering on the ground, this is the land of the undead!

So, where did the realm of the undead come from?

Quite simply, the original undead are nothing more than the primordial undead who flow from the world of the undead, and they awaken all dead creatures, including some powerful creatures, such as dragons, giants, etc.

The number of these awakened undead was 30 times the total number of people in the continent at that time, and an infinite catastrophe swept the entire continent.

After hundreds of years, with the help of the gods, as well as the tenacious will and wisdom of mankind itself, the undead creatures were expelled in one direction, and finally the vast territory in this direction was the realm of the undead, the realm of the undead.

For endless years, the realm of the undead has been larger or smaller, but humans have never allowed them to occupy the surrounding terrain.

Seventeen hundred years ago, the Duchy of Black Earth became the core of the border between the undead and humans, and the City of Black Fire was equivalent to a thin film, if it was punctured, the entire Duchy of Black Fire would become a fortress to guard the undead.

The Duchy of Black Earth is part of the Cairo Empire, and its Grand Duke, who is also a first-class duke of the Empire, is tasked with restoring the ruined towers of the undead who have been at war with humanity over the years.

The Black Earth Principality has a total of nine defense lines, each of which is stronger than the previous one, and the Grand Duke of the Black Earth Principality, Oflan, is in the ninth line of defense, and the palace built for himself - the Oflan Palace.

The Grand Duke of Black Earth is naturally the supreme ruler of the Black Earth Principality, although he likes to hear people call himself His Majesty, but as the king of a vassal country, he knows very well in his heart that his life is completely in the hands of His Majesty, the real emperor of the Cairo Empire. Therefore, he was very clever and never let others call him His Majesty, perhaps because of this, the Emperor of Cairo was extremely relieved of him, and rewarded him with many beauties and treasures.

Overran was pleased with his situation, the legendary evil and cruel undead, he had never seen before, so he was relieved. Moreover, even the first line of defense, Black Fire City, has never been captured and lost......

In the hall of the Oflan Palace, the prime minister of the Duchy of Black Earth, with a fat face, a mustache between his nose, and a body of the same width and height, was smiling and picking up the red wine he had poured himself, and provocatively profaned a beautiful lady in his arms. Although this lady does not look more than twenty years old, she can be his granddaughter in terms of age, but seeing him affectionately holding the girl's fragrant shoulder, if you just look at the backs of the two, you really think that they are a pair of 'golden boys and girls'.

And the girl's father, a certain viscount of the principality, was talking with several nobles of the same rank with a happy smile on his face, occasionally glancing at his daughter who was held in the arms of the prime minister, and his eyes were full of smugness.

The court ceremonial officer in red was worried about his feet, fluttering, like a cloud, flowing to the prime minister's side, and whispered a word close to his ear.

Immediately after, the miraculous effect appeared, and the Prime Minister's fat face twitched like a wave, and he asked softly, "Where is the Minister of State, the Minister of War, the Minister of Reserves, and the Minister of Finance...... Get them here...... Oh my God, where's the Grand Duke?"

The important person of this feast, the person who canonized the queen of the black soil, is the daughter of the noble Grand Marquis of Lorraine, and at this moment, the queen of the black soil principality is sitting alone on her throne, surrounded by several maids covered in silk, but the supreme ruler of the black soil principality, the honorable Grand Duke of Ofran, does not know where it is.

The prime minister quickly kneaded a few handfuls of the girl's chest, and then ran quickly towards several obese old men who were no different from him. ...,

Several fat and ball-like old men put their heads together and discussed for a while, and finally a tall, lean old man with a yellow beard who was dressed in a general's costume joined in.

After a full cup of tea exercises, the tall old man walked out, and more than a dozen knights of the "Black Feather Battalion" surrounded him and rushed towards the outside of the palace.

And the prime minister and a few others looked at the palace manager on the side with oppressive eyes, and the head of the palace who was wearing a hot golden uniform with clear water chestnuts and clear horns, and his hair was like a rooster's tail, was extremely uncomfortable and walked towards the palace with a few principality ministers.

After a long corridor full of scantily clad paintings of beautiful women, the steward's footsteps stopped outside a thick oak gate of pink lacquer, and eight Grand Duke's guards stood in front of the gate, looking at the fat old men who came by with shining eyes.

The palace steward, who was nine feet long, had a majestic and solemn expression, glanced at the eight Grand Duke's guards with extremely majestic eyes, and after blinking his eyes, his body gently retreated a few steps like a cat, and came behind several fat ministers.

He was extremely graceful and natural, and he dissociated himself from several ministers to the eight Grand Duke's guards, with a look that had nothing to do with me.

The Minister of State immediately took a step forward and whispered, "Get out of the way of me, is the Grand Duke inside?"

The captain of the Grand Duke's guard, who had eight ears of wheat on his left chest as a badge indicating his noble status, replied coldly: "Sorry, Honorable Minister of State, the Grand Duke is busy planning important matters of state, and you must not enter and disturb him. ”

The Minister of State was stunned and stared fiercely at the ornate badge on his chest, while the hand of the captain of the Grand Duke's guard gripped the hilt of the long sword at his waist, and he stared at the Minister of State without showing weakness.

The Minister of State snorted and took a step back, his round eyes already glowing with a cold light, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart. But the prime minister stepped forward and scolded in a low voice: "Get out, I don't know whether you are alive or dead, I will dismiss you all and transfer you to the frontier of the Dark Prison Marquis to raise horses." Thinking about giving you half a cup of tea, as well as the military attachés of your family, they all have to go to the frontier, and as for the civil officials, ......" he said, and he turned his head to look.

The Minister of State said with a stiff expression: "The security in the Purgatory City is extremely chaotic, and the daily affairs are still too busy, I think I can send some people to ......"

The Prime Minister immediately said: "If you are afraid that the Grand Duke will scold you, don't worry, I will intercede for you, we have extremely important matters to discuss with the Grand Duke." ”

The eight Grand Duke's guards looked at each other a few times, and quickly moved out of the way. The corners of the mouths of the chief stewards behind several fat ministers were slightly upturned, but they immediately felt that their behavior was not in line with their identity, so they hurriedly took out a big red handkerchief from their pockets, covered their mouths and coughed lightly twice at the same time, covering up their bad behavior just now.

Although the Prime Minister and the Minister of State are civil officials, their cultivation is still not low. Seeing that the eight people next to him would definitely not help, they immediately took a few steps forward and pushed open the heavy five-meter-high oak door, and with a creaky sound, the chief steward slowly walked into the door with several ministers.

The Grand Duke of the Duchy, the only ruler of the Principality, was naked with a maiden in his arms, and Ofran's hands were stroking the girl's butter-like back. The girl's clothes had already been stripped naked, and the two trembling white flesh and red on her chest appeared in front of the palace chief and several important ministers of the state.

Seeing a few people coming in, Oflan was about to take the last step when he stopped, and looked at the old man and the chief manager in a daze, his light brown pupils full of puzzlement. ...,

The Prime Minister bowed quickly and whispered, "I'm sorry for disturbing the Grand Duke, please forgive me." We have very important business to discuss with you, but as you know, your study is so well soundproofed that we can't hear you knocking on the door outside. ”

Overlan immediately calmed down, his eyes flickered, and the palace manager hurriedly turned around and laboriously closed the heavy door, pressed his face against the door, and turned his back to the room, so as to keep his posture still.

The Secretary of State, with all his ability to deal with important matters, stepped forward and picked up a long dress, which was almost torn from the blanket, and handed it to Ofran, who handed the dress to the maiden, and followed suit, without the slightest fluster, or informality, to put on his clothes. The girl's face was not a little embarrassed, she quickly put on the long skirt, brushed her messy hair slightly, took out a red feather fan, and swayed it slightly, Yiran looked like a noble lady.

The eyes of several old men lit up, and the beautiful girl in front of them who was about to drip honey was not the newlywed wife of Marquis Carlo, the city lord of Black Rain City near the north?

After Ophran had put on his clothes, he asked, "I am discussing with Madame Karllo about the second, third, and fourth lines of defense, and it is so rude that you have rushed in and disturbed us. But I believe that several of them are important ministers of the state, and I don't think they are really so rude, and there must be something extremely important to discuss with me. ”

Several old men secretly praised in their hearts: "Although the Grand Duke is only twenty-five years old, he has already looked at a Grand Duke, he is really young and promising, if he does not go to see Mrs. Carlo during the period, it is estimated that it will be more perfect." ”

The Minister of State stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said softly: "According to the information in the magic letter sent by the Empire, the undead realm is close to the human realm, uh, that is, the region close to our Black Earth Principality, and it is estimated that the undead creatures of the fourth order will be awakened, and the number is extremely large. ”

Oflan's brows moved slightly, and he muttered: "Oh? So, the fourth-order undead creatures want to awaken in the undead region close to our Black Earth Principality, this is really a big deal, damn the city lord of Black Fire City, that Qin family kid named Qin Lang, why didn't he report any information at all? Before the fourth-order undead creatures awakened, there should be skeleton knights and lichs in the third order awakened first, doesn't this kid think that he can deal with the skeleton knights, it's really ridiculous......"

After muttering for a while, Overlan smiled: "Then do your best to issue a national notice to all the people to prepare for the coming disaster, and at the same time order the Black Fire City and the surrounding towns, as well as the people of the first three lines of defense, all move to the rear of the fourth line of defense." If a fourth-order undead creature attacked, the three lines of defense in front of it would be useless, let alone Black Fire City. ”

The Minister of State took a deep breath, glanced at Ofran with some fear, and didn't know how to say the words in his mouth, Ofran immediately noticed that something was wrong with him, and couldn't help frowning: "Hey, what's wrong, Simis, don't hold back if you have a fart, hurry up and release it, I won't be disgusted." ”

The Minister of State didn't dare to answer, and when the Prime Minister saw the Minister of War, the Minister of Reserves, and the Minister of Finance, he took a step back slightly, so he had no choice but to take a step forward and said softly: "Dear Grand Duke, the awakening of the fourth-order undead creature this time is different from the past, there is no sign before the awakening, it is extremely sudden, estimated, estimated, estimated......"

There was an earth-shattering roar from the study, so loud that even the eight Grand Dukes outside the door could hear it, and if it weren't for the conviction that a few ministers and the chief wouldn't hurt Ofran, they were almost ready to rush in, but they still squeezed open a crack in the door, and looked inside, despite the chief manager's ugly face. ...,

After roaring a few times, Ofran asked in a low voice, "Extremely sudden, how long will it take for that fourth-order undead creature to awaken? three days later, or two days, or tomorrow!"

The reserve minister's voice trembled slightly, and his body trembled: "Great, Grand Duke, no, the magic letter I received said that it was this afternoon, and, moreover, there is already a fourth-order undead creature awakened. ”

Overran picked up the text on the table and threw it on the head of the reserve minister: "Bastard! Today!Fourth-order undead creatures!It's awakened!Why didn't you come to sue me earlier?Damn!That's a fourth-order undead creature, and the Black Fire City will be punctured like the virgin~woman's membrane in an instant! At this moment, the Black Fire City is estimated to have fallen! How can you make this Grand Duke worthy of the more than 567,000 good people in and around the dead Black Fire City? Say!"

The Minister of the Reserve trembled and did not dare to speak, so he immediately fell to his knees and did not dare to look at Overland.

Several old men glanced at the reserve minister with pity, and the prime minister stepped forward: "Grand Duke, I can't blame Lord Sharu for this, after all, the awakening of undead creatures this time is indeed very weird, usually if there is a fourth-order undead creature awakening, there is a sign of 'blood moon in the sky' a month ago." But this time, there is not even any news of the awakening of the skeleton general and the lich among the third-order undead creatures, and the city lord of the Black Fire City has not heard any news, presumably the entire Black Fire City has been attacked by the suddenly awakened undead creatures. This qiē can't be blamed on the Grand Duke, after all, even the fortune tellers of the empire only learned about this fact after the awakening of the fourth-order undead. ”

Overran nodded: "Well, you shouldn't waste time on such a trivial matter, if the fourth-order undead creatures have awakened, and we only get the news at this moment, then it is pointless to rescue the people in Black Fire City." ”

The Minister of State muttered: "The Grand Duke is wise, in order to ensure the people in the rear as soon as possible, I think that the first four lines of defense should be abandoned and the fifth line of defense should be stationed directly until the major empires send to aid the army." In this way, the lives of seventy percent of the people of the Black Earth Principality can be guaranteed. ”

Overran was about to speak in pain, when the girl beside him was already holding his neck and said in a coquettish voice: "My husband, Carlo, the city lord of Black Rain City, is in charge of the second, third, and fourth lines of defense, I understand his hardships and righteousness, for the sake of all the people behind the fifth line of defense, on behalf of him, I implore the Grand Duke to do everything in his power to protect the nearly ten million people in the seventy percent of the Black Earth Principality behind the fifth line of defense." ”

When several old men heard this, they all sighed in their hearts: "This Mrs. Carlo gave away her husband's life like this." Also, it is much better to follow a grand duke than to follow a marquis who will die sooner or later. ”

In the sorrowful voice of the Grand Duke of Ofran, in the sighs and sighs of several old men, and in the crying and moaning of beautiful young women~, a resolution was reached: the first four of the nine lines of defense in the Principality of Black Earth were abandoned—not just the land, but all the people.
