Chapter 237: Blackmail
The news of such a solemn meeting of the five kings soon reached the ears of the other forces, except for the orc race, which still maintained disdain, the other races were slightly moved in their hearts. Tomato --'.-f'
These five kings are not fools, and if they are just on the lookout for an undead spirit, they don't need to make such a big deal at all.
Could it be that they know something that we don't know?
The various clans thought of this in unison, and became more serious about the matter of the undead, and even sent secret agents to the territory of the five kingdoms, so that they could do their best to find out the news related to the meeting.
It didn't take long for the Holy Empire, which had been silent since the accident, to publicly announce a news that sent the entire Western Continent into a panic.
His Majesty the Divine Emperor personally said that one of the seventy-two demon gods of the ancients, Andesia, had confirmed the news of his recovery.
Andesia has spells that can transform any creature into an undead, and wants to rule the continent with an endless army of undead.
At first, people did not fully believe what His Majesty said, but soon, as if to prove that what he said was true, the place of bones, which had not been moved for thousands of years, suddenly changed, and a dark cloud covered the entire place of bones, like an enchantment, making it impossible for anyone to approach.
Immediately after, a terrifying army of the undead emerged from the Buried Bones, not the kind of skeleton soldiers who were so weak that they could only bully ordinary people, but death knights in black armor and riding skeleton horses.
These Death Knights, who are more formidable than the knights of the human kingdom, wield spears or scythes that exude the smell of death, and easily destroy one town after another, reaping human lives. β½ β tomato ββ net -''.''f-q-
The day before the army arrived, the undead army, with only 2,000 Death Knights, had leveled six towns on the border of the Kingdom of Faerun, killing at least 70,000 people.
The people who escaped from the town also brought the news that those killed by the Death Knights, whether ordinary or professional, would become undead within an hour.
Ordinary people become skeleton soldiers, and professionals become stronger skeleton warriors, and if their strength is at the silver and gold level, they are more likely to become death knights.
So, when the army of the kingdom of Faeron arrived at the six slaughtered towns, they saw a tragic picture of the undead raging.
From this moment on, the entire Western Continent realized the seriousness of this matter, and even the invincible orcs stopped their expedition and withdrew their army, fearing that the next door would attack them in the Burial Ground.
The undead army of two thousand Death Knights was eventually defeated in a valley by the Iron Legion of the Kingdom of Faerun, and in order to prevent their resurrection, the Iron Legion even broke every bone of their bones to pieces.
At this point, the number of towns that were turned into cities of the dead by the Death Knight remained at nine.
However, the good times did not last long, and before people could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a new movement in the place where the bones were buried.
The scouts of the various forces who stayed around the burial place were the first to convey what they saw, but when the rulers of the major forces saw it, they were silent.

Boundless skeleton soldiers, a sea of skeletons.
The most famous and hated thing of the undead has finally appeared.
This time, they were no longer heading in the direction of just the Faeron Kingdom, but from the Land of Bones, heading towards all parts of the continent.
They want to challenge the entire continent.
St. Peter's Church, Bishop Sheila was silent for a long, long time after reading the message on the letterhead, and his face became very bitter.
He sighed deeply and walked out of the church.
"How many people will die this time......
At the same time, the Inquisition of Inquisition.
Beneath the massive black metal cross, the figure in golden armor opened its eyes once more.
A strange look appeared in his eyes like two suns, and he slowly stood up with the movement of the joints of his armor.
"My brother. β
He spoke into the darkness, his voice tinged with a hint of metal, hoarse and mysterious.
The next moment, he grabbed the metal cross, which was four times his size, with his armour-wrapped arm.
With a bang, the cross was pulled out of the ground by him.
"It's time for us to move. β
As he continued, an extremely dense burst of holy light poured out of his body and poured into the metal cross, causing it to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually becoming just the right size for a weapon.
With a click, the metal cross was placed on his back, as if it had been pressed into a groove that had been prepared. β‘ β βTomato Novel -'-.-f-q'x-s''.-c-o'm'
At this time, there was also a soft sigh in the darkness, followed by a voice with a very complex tone.
"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. β
In the darkness, a flash of fire flashed.
......
......
On the first day of the appearance of the army of millions of skeletons, the Terran kingdom of Faeron "Malloon City" was lost, and the defending army was completely annihilated.
The orc "Walsim" was lost, and the 50,000 troops who had returned the day before were wiped out.
The dwarves fought against the undead army in the "Clinder Mountains", using the highland terrain and artillery, to wipe out the 10,000 undead army that rushed up, and only 127 of them were damaged.
Except for the dwarves, the other races are basically at a disadvantage in the battle with the undead army, and their territory is being forced by the undead step by step.
Seven days later, in the improvised fortified fortress "Ledig", Mason Hamter, the deputy commander of the Iron Legion of the Kingdom of Faerun, received the forces that had come to support.
Needless to say, the people of the other four kingdoms also entered the war early, and even provided priests.
This time, it was mainly reinforcements and supplies from other races.
For example, the dwarves have transformed the fine artillery from the simple cannons of the goblins, and Mason has long heard that the dwarves used this thing to make the undead army suffer a big loss.
The dwarves sent a total of ten people this time, led by a dwarf named Tony.
The dwarf named Tony was dressed in a short red robe, and his attitude looked a little arrogant, but Mason didn't mind, after all, they came to bring you weapons, and this attitude was understandable. β½ Tomatoβ ''.
He did not put on the role of deputy commander, but greeted the dwarves warmly, and said to Tony:
"Thank you for your assistance, and with your artillery, we have the confidence to defend the lower Deig. β
Who knew that after listening to his words, Tony snorted coldly and said: "Don't get me wrong, our artillery is not given for free, every hundred artillery pieces need you to take three ore veins in exchange, and gunpowder is counted separately." β
"This ......"
When Mason heard this, his face became a little ugly, the dwarf had not mentioned this condition at all before, but now he suddenly brought it up, and this look of taking advantage of the fire to rob him did not expect.
"Why, are you going to tell me no?" Tony glanced at him and said lightly.
If Mason thought his attitude was nothing just now, now this attitude made a wave of anger rise in Mason's heart.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "There is nature, but I can't make the decision for you, this requires His Majesty's warrant." β
"I don't care about that, anyway, if we don't get our hands on the veins within today, we'll leave with artillery. Tony said.
"You!" the guard beside Mason glared at Tony, his hand even touching his sword.
"What are you, hehe, a reminder to you, don't think that what you are resisting now is all this undead army, but I received the news that another group of troops has come out of the burial place, and in five days at most, hundreds of thousands of undead armies will rush in this direction. β
"If it weren't for our muskets, you'd be waiting to become undead!"
Tony sneered and said something that made everyone angry, and Mason's face changed drastically.
"There is still an army in the place where bones are buried, where did Andesia get so many dead bodies!"
A few thoughts flashed through Mason's mind, and his face was extremely solemn.
They set up a defensive fortress and fought for seven days in a row, and when they saw that they were about to wipe out all the hundreds of thousands of undead troops who attacked them, they now got more news to come......
The news will undoubtedly make the soldiers who are already extremely tired despair.
Thinking of this, Mason frowned deeply, gritted his teeth, and finally said in a deep voice: "Okay, I promise you, the fifteen veins in the Astor Mountains are all owned by the dwarves. β
When Tony heard this, he showed a smug smile and said, "He is worthy of being the deputy commander of the Iron Legion, which is like words." β
Mason ignored his words, just stared at him intensely.
Seeing this, Tony pursed his lips and said to the dwarf behind him, "Take five hundred cannons." β
As soon as he finished speaking, Mason spoke: "No, I want a thousand cannons, and enough gunpowder for our army for a week." β
Mason's words made Tony's face change and he was furious, and he turned his head to speak, but suddenly met Mason's eyes with a cold color.
β......β
After a moment of silence, a hint of fear flashed in Tony's eyes, and he said dryly, "Okay..."
Hearing this, Mason's eyes returned to normal, and he smiled at Tony and said, "Happy cooperation." β
Happy ghost!
Tony was guilty in his heart, and he had no doubt that if he had dared to contradict Mason, Mason would have ordered the ten of them to remain in this fortress forever.
Damn, it's no wonder those guys didn't shirk when they heard about this errand, it turned out to be because of this.
Tony scolded secretly, before coming here, the dwarven king asked their officials to voluntarily decide who would come, and as a result, the group of guys who usually fought for a little profit became very peaceful, and in the end, Tony took the task stupidly.
"I thought it was a good opportunity to rip off the bamboo at this time, but now it's good, and it's a loss!"
Thinking of this, Tony's face became even more bitter, just like Mason thought, the dwarf originally planned to send a hundred cannons to Mason, but Tony wanted to benefit from it, so he put forward the request for the exchange of ore veins.
Although Tony did get a lot of ore veins now, you must know that the dwarves only planned to send a hundred cannons, while Mason now asked for 500, and the other 400 and the rest of the gunpowder were all paid for by Tony out of his own pocket.
In this way, Tony not only did not earn, but lost at least 100,000 gold coins.
"I won't come again next time I am killed. β
Tony thought to himself, and after asking his men to take out 500 cannons and gunpowder, he hurriedly left here.
"Phew, what the hell, you want to take advantage of the fire to rob!"
After Tony left, the guards beside Mason scolded fiercely, looking extremely angry.
The other people's faces are also very ugly, at such a critical juncture, even if you don't come to support, it's better than taking advantage of the fire to rob.
"Okay, leave this alone, let the soldiers take turns trying to operate the artillery. β
Mason's face was much calmer, he picked up a cannon from the box on the ground, looked at it, and said lightly.
"Hmm. β
The guard quickly answered, but before leaving, his face hesitated for a while, and he asked in a low voice:
"Deputy Commander, do you think the news that guy just said is true?"
