Chapter 346: The Man in the Tomb

After Leon closed his eyes, he never opened them again.

But he could still walk like a normal person, and he could even clearly perceive where there were obstacles, where there were ravines—even where there was dry dirt and where there was mud on the road.

The two women didn't bring torches or anything like that—they were going to the cemetery to do civil engineering, and that kind of work would not see the light of day......

It was the middle of the night, and although the moon was bright, the mud puddles and puddles on the road were hard to see, and Bao Daisi and her female companion walked deep and shallow, but they were surprised to find that Leon had his eyes closed but could always get around the muddy water accurately.

Although Li Ang does not seem to be in good physical condition at the moment, many small wounds on his body have been soaked white by the lake water, and he feels that he may collapse at any time. But his peculiar performance still instilled a deep awe in Boudis - much like some legendary 'Eye-opener' prophet.

After a short walk, Leon felt that the army in front of him was about to arrive, so Bao Daisi avoided the main road and helped Leon to hide behind an abandoned low wall on the side of the road.

But the female warrior under Bao Daisi was reluctant to get too close to Leon - she probably disliked all men, just like many nobles disliked low-status criminals, and tried not to touch them if they could, and they were forced to wash off their hands when they were forced to touch them.

After fishing Leon out of the lake before, she even threw away her gloves......

So, she hid alone behind another broken grass shed.

In recent times, there has been a shortage of soldiers, and almost all the houses on both sides of the road have been destroyed - most of the troops in these years are no different from bandits.

Bandits occasionally left some rations for nearby farmers when they looted, but when the army passed by, they most likely left nothing.

This is also the reason why Leon and Boudis want to avoid the troops - Leon also heard the sound of horses' hooves when he went to Long River with Sarah, and hurried to avoid them.

Leon could sense that this was a force of about five hundred men, but it was very different from the one that had gone to the cemetery before, and this force was strange to Leon's perception - he always felt that this force was not normal, but he could not say what was abnormal.

After all, this kind of perception is not direct seeing, and many things still have to rely on the eyes and ears.

It wasn't until this force approached that Leon understood the reason for the abnormality.

The unit did not use any lighting – no lanterns, no torches.

Moreover, apart from the sound of footsteps, this unit actually did not make any sound.

Not even the sound of breathing!

Leon could be sure that the force was not alive—he could easily detect breathing and heartbeat when he got closer.

It's just that, judging from the outside, this army is no different from ordinary people - this is not a degenerate, this is an undead!

"Your Excellency Leon, this force looks strange...... Are they going to attack the town of Barranli at night? ”

Bao Daisy also whispered, after all, she was a queen for more than ten years, and she was also an experienced leader, and of course she felt that it looked wrong to march at night without lighting a fire. It's just that she didn't think in the direction of non-humans.

"Shh......h They are not living people...... Don't talk......"

Leon cocked up his fingers.

He didn't want to alarm an army of the undead at this time......

Although he has strong perception ability now, his combat power is basically zero - the 'Void' gives him powerful perception, but it has not healed his injuries, and he can't walk fast now, and if he is discovered, he will definitely not be able to escape.

Bao Daisi's eyes widened in horror, she swallowed her saliva, but she didn't make a sound, and slowly squatted down and retracted her head very cooperatively.

Of course, the queen now trusted Leon's judgment, after all, Leon had successfully prophesied twice, and no matter what kind of army it was, Boudis did not want to provoke it.

Leon stopped watching, and sat down behind the low wall to listen carefully.

But sometimes people are unlucky to drink cold water and stuff their teeth, Leon and Bao Daisi are quiet, but the female warrior under Bao Dai accidentally made a move......

"Woo...... King Ulrique?! Mommy......"

The woman screamed again and began to run away......

Panicked, she tried to get up, but Leon covered her mouth.

Although Leon's hand was weak at this time, Bao Daisi calmed down under this cover, she pushed Leon's hand away, took a deep breath, and then leaned on the wall and looked carefully.

Leon did the same......

Subsequently, the scene that appeared in front of him made Li Ang a little suspicious of life.

The troop happened to pass in front of them at this time, and the female warrior ran all the way shouting and crying wolf, inviting a group of cavalry to pursue, but that was not the point.

The point is that in the center of that army, there was a particularly conspicuous guy riding a tall horse, wearing a crown helmet on his head and golden armor......

That's Ulrik!

The golden armor and crown helmet were the burial goods that Leon had personally arranged for Ulrik, and it was the custom of the king or nobleman after his death - to have the deceased buried in his favorite armor!

In order to maintain the king's decent appearance, he was tied around his neck with a delicate silk scarf to cover the wounds on his neck.

At this time, the silk scarf was still around his neck.

At this time, Ulrik's face was blue-gray - in order to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants, the corpse was poured with mercury and smeared with antiseptic drugs, and after being buried for a long time, the skin will appear blue-gray.

Leon swallowed.

No wonder Ulrique's tomb is empty......

When did this come out?

Ulrique himself must not have the skills to do this...... Who is borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul?

"Nope! Ahhhh......h Help me...... Yes! ”

In the distance, the voice of the female warrior crying wolf came to an abrupt end.

Bao Daisi next to her desperately covered her mouth, and a line of tears flowed silently from the corners of her eyes.

It seems that she has a deep relationship with this female warrior - to accompany her, the queen who has lost the throne, to Pande, must be loyal to her, and should still be her lover.

Ficavia's culture is like this, lovers or lovers have nothing to do with men, men are just daily necessities that match pillows and sheets.

However, despite the pain inside, Bao Daisy still did not make any sound.

People who have been queens are indeed more sensible.

It wasn't until Leon was sure that the group of undead had gone far that Boudis came out from behind the low wall and ran to the place where the warriorwoman had fallen.

The woman was dead, her whole body had been cut off by the waist, and not even a whole body had been left behind.

Grace cried as she hugged the corpse, blood and filth staining her.

…………

Early morning.

The shovel that was originally used for tomb robbery came in handy again at this time.

It's just that this time it's not for tomb robbing.

On the banks of the Sava River, a brand-new grave bag appeared, and on a wooden plaque, several symbols that Leon couldn't read were burned out by the fire, and then embedded horizontally on the grave.

This is the burial method of the Fikavians.

"You've seen Ulrike before?"

Leon stood at the head of the grave and saluted, asking Grace, who had puffy eyes.

"Five years ago, we went to the Lion City to meet Ulrique...... I was going to push for reforms, I was looking for allies, but he didn't help me at the time......"

Bao Daisy no longer cried by this time, but her voice became unusually hoarse.

Leon lowered his head and sighed, "Ulrik is actually a poor man. ”

Bao Daisi turned her head with a fierce look in her eyes: "He is my enemy now!" ”

"Bodes, that guy wasn't Ulrike himself last night...... It was an evil spirit that took possession of his body—Ulrik died right before me, and I know where his soul is! ”

Li Ang explained very seriously.

"Possessed by evil spirits?"

Bao Daisy was stunned, and then stared at Leon: "Who is that evil spirit?" ”

"It should be the Three Prophets. If nothing else, Ulrik's body is an evil spirit named Anna. ”

Only these three spirits have the ability to resurrect their souls.

Leon thinks that Ulrik must be Anna - her body and Ulrique's body had been in the same morgue after Anna jumped off the Forbidden Tower.

And Ulrique's tomb was empty.

Coupled with the fact that Leon and Midia had previously said that Anna was in Ulrik's grave - it is possible that Anna was rescued by Midia.

The Fallen who suddenly appeared in Craging Rock Bay at the height of the battle before should have been caused by Midia.

However, Midia then ran into Aegrem and lost her body and returned to the Abyssal Gate - but Leon gave Midia a chance to rescue the other two Prophets by giving her a chance to kill Agrim.

Originally, it was difficult for Anna to come out of the grave on her own, and Sersi was strictly supervised in the Lion City Prison - the prison was near the tower of the House of Nobles, and within the forbidden range, Sersi probably couldn't escape by herself.

If Midia hadn't been given a chance, Anna and Sersi wouldn't have been able to get out of it so easily.

But now......

This is actually a scourge caused by Leon himself, but the lord didn't expect that he would be delayed in the void for a whole year......

"The Three Prophets...... Are they the three witches who are said to make a woman young forever? I swear by my kingdom that I will kill them......"

Boudis gritted her teeth and swore an oath.

It seems that most of the noblewomen have indeed heard the rumors of the Three Prophets.

"If you look at Ulrique, you should be able to realize what it's like to be forever young......"

Leon glanced at Bao Daisi, "You don't have to go to them alone, they are also my enemies." ”

Bao Daisi looked at Li Ang, nodded, and bowed to Li Ang: "Duke Li Ang, I, Bao Daisi, ask for your help...... I hope you will support me in arming a force! Until I kill the Three Prophets, I am willing to follow you and fight for you! ”

This time, instead of claiming to be queen, she made herself a warrior, using the knightly way of asking the lord for support.

'Boudis has joined you'.

"Let's get two horses first...... As long as you can return to Changhe Town, anything can be solved. ”

Leon nodded, he was not afraid of the Three Prophets, in fact he would not be afraid of any enemy now - since all the gods could no longer descend on the earth, then there was nothing to fear.

Except for Kavala, Leon is now worthy of no one.

The Lion City is now in chaos, with a large number of refugees or mobs pouring into the city, and it seems that there are some minor nobles trying to maintain order, but they are completely unable to restrain the mobs.

The mobs that had entered the Lion City were occupying the houses that originally belonged to the dignitaries and making a ruckus.

From time to time, you can see a lot of people fighting in groups, probably for turf or something.

Amy suddenly moved the capital, leaving behind an empty city, both the armies of various countries and the mob were probably a little caught off guard, if nothing else, Lion City would soon become a battlefield.

So the two did not enter the Lion City, but went straight to Yargarh.

Leon went to Yalagar and bought two horses.

Yalagar was the horse breeding ground that Ulrik set up at the beginning, but there are not many people left, and Amy moved Yalagar people with her when she moved the capital a few days ago.

However, there were still some old people in the village who did not want to leave their homeland, and they sold Leon two old traveling horses for five hundred dinars, or five golden griffins.

This price is very cheap in the current situation, and Leon is very pleased that the magic gold coins that Bao Daisi received from Leon still maintain their original value and can be used in Yargar.

- It seems that his disappearance for so long has not caused a credit crisis in Pande Bank, and even magic gold coins have been popularized.

This can only be done by Amy.

It was here that Leon was fully aware of the current situation.

Amy may indeed not be good at fighting, the situation related to the war is very bad, and Amy should have moved the capital a long time ago.

But the places in the Lion that are not facing the war are depressed, but there is no inflation.

This shows that Amy has been successfully maintaining the economy in the rear, only the national power has declined, but it has not completely collapsed.

At the very least, the eastern region and the Gulf of Tonkin are largely stable, and the population of the eastern region should have more than doubled—a large number of people fleeing the war have gone to the relatively peaceful east.

This made Leon feel a lot more at ease - he was not afraid of the war situation, he was only worried about the collapse of the economy.

The tide of battle can be quickly turned around by intrigue and a few successful combat operations.

But if the overall economy collapses, it will really collapse, and it will be difficult to recover in a short period of time......

At present, the Lion Kingdom is indeed poor, but it is not terrible to be poor, as long as the economic order is maintained - Li Ang went from being penniless to becoming one of the richest people in Pande, in fact, it only took one or two years.

Besides, the current Li Ang is not the little role that was not famous back then, as long as Li Ang reappears and shows his name, more people will invest in him......

The two began to walk towards Changhe Town non-stop.

……

Shortly after they left, groups of armies appeared in the area.

There are all over the country.

General Agathon of the Bacchus Empire came from the north to join General Creon under the Lion City.

Caliph al-Tahir of the Duchy of Dexia appeared south of Baranli with a number of Dexia lords.

Fieldsway's army group appeared west of Barranley, led by King Vidis himself.

In addition, a detachment entered the Deer Heart Lake......

Yes, they entered the lake, and they were launched from the same place where Leon had been rescued.

The leader of this force appears to be King Ulrique.

At his feet were corpses all over the ground.

He had just eliminated another unit in the cemetery.

Before stepping into the lake, 'Ulrik' looked back at his own graveyard, which had been dug up and not reburied.

A mocking smile appeared on his face.
