Wrapped in a black robe, Herod slowly walked into the town under the guidance of the soldiers.

There were quite a few soldiers resting on both sides of the road. When they saw this mysterious lich, they all bowed to the ground.

For thousands of years, due to the control of the high priest, the reverence and obedience of the Semitic people to the undead have almost penetrated into their bones.

Heylord saluted the soldiers, but he ignored them all, and walked in front of them with his head held high, proud

In the eyes of the lichs, these ordinary soldiers are just a bunch of cannon fodder ants, nothing more.

Helord made his way through the town to Veraplani's headquarters.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the human artillery, in fact, the town has already been completely destroyed under human fire, and there is no complete building to be found

As a result, Veraplani's headquarters was not located in the town, but underground.

Heyrod the Lich took a moment's notice. It can be seen that this was originally a cemetery, and from the ground came the death qi that he was very familiar with and liked very much.

However, most of the graves have also been flattened by human fire, and coffins can be seen peeking out from time to time in the patches of floating soil.

Veraplani's headquarters was built in a family tomb, and the top of the bunker was covered with a thick layer of earth to defend against shells

A seven-foot-deep trench stretched out in all directions, and the Semitic soldiers trotted and shuttled through the trench like ground rats.

Every now and then, the wounded and sick who were lying on the stretcher groaned and were carried in, and then turned a corner. The husband was on the other side of the ditch.

Hylord had just stepped into the trenches. Immediately a burst of heavy artillery fire rang out from the west.

Humans seem to have noticed something about the Semitic people. Once again, cover their positions with artillery fire.

"Chirp~!"

The shrill chirping of cannonballs streaked across the sky and then landed on the Semitic positions, exploding with a bang.

The red sè fire kept blooming like fireworks,

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......"

The deafening explosions continued to sound and continued.

Multiple shells were also hit near the headquarters.

In the violent explosion, the ground in the tomb shook and the dirt on top fell with a clatter. It looks like it could collapse at any moment.

Helord walked through the trenches and came to the headquarters, where the personnel suddenly thinned out, and because they were underground, they were a little damp and unventilated. It's a little stuffy.

But Hero, as a lich, didn't care about it.

He walked straight past several staff officers who were in a daze, and came to the back of the headquarters, where he saw Veraprani.

He was dressed in a military uniform and stood in the innermost part. A sarcophagus acts as a table, and hands are pressed against the sarcophagus. He was discussing the battle situation with his officers quickly. Because he was so engrossed in the battle, he didn't even notice Hero's arrival.

Behind him, there is also a huge military map, although Helord is not familiar with military affairs, but looking at the offensive and defensive patterns between the Semitic and the Terrans marked with red and blue pens on the map, he can also feel that the current situation is not optimistic.

Herod stood for a moment, and when he saw that Veraprani still hadn't looked up, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, someone came to Veraprani's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Veraprani was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly raised his head, saw the figure of Hylord, barely showed a wry smile on his tired face, stared at a pair of red eyes and nodded to him, and said, "Master Hylord, welcome~!"

The lich Heylord bowed slightly, and was not polite, and said bluntly: "How is the situation now?"

"As you can see, it's not good," he said from the exertion of cāo these days, and he hardly closed his eyes, so the god Veraprani was extremely tired.

He let out a long sigh, and then said, "I tried all the methods I could think of, digging trenches, fighting at night, making soldiers put on makeup, disguised as enemies, and sneak attacked. And even the organization of officer death squads......

We used every tactic we could think of.

But the humans on the other side were so cunning that we couldn't rush through, and by now the casualties were close to thirty percent, and almost all of my soldiers were wounded.

These lads were valiant, and they didn't even blink an eye in the face of the enemy. No matter how tired you are, as soon as you hear the horn, you will immediately take a knife and rush forward to fight the enemy.

But...... But they've pushed to the limit.

If there are no more reinforcements, even if there are enough airdrops......"

Speaking of this, he paused, and a mocking smile flashed in his eyes, although Herode had promised well before, relying on the war fortress, he could provide him with enough supplies and food. But in reality, it was never delivered.

Each airdrop is only enough for half, or even one-third of the troops.

On the books, every airdrop of supplies was distributed in full.

God knows which bastards ate the kickbacks for those things~!

The whole army was tightening its belts and fighting hungry.

Quite a few troops have begun to stealthily kill horses. And he can only turn a blind eye, once it is forcefully suppressed, it will definitely cause the soldiers to mutiny.

Seeing the indifferent look on Herode's face, Veraprani couldn't help but let out another long sigh, and then said astringently: "Even if we are given enough airdrop supplies, we won't be able to hold out for a few days." ”

Lich Heylord nodded indifferently.

He knew all these things very well, and even his ears could hear that every two days Veraprani the cocoon sent a letter asking for help, and sent his hand to the high priest behind him.

After another long sigh of helplessness, Veraprani's expression suddenly became angry, he clenched his fists and pounded the sarcophagus hard, and shouted: "Master, I'm asking you once, where are the damn reinforcements?"

It's been half a month. De Rossi should climb over even if he climbs. ”

Only on this issue that has nothing to do with the undead. Veraprani dared to be a little presumptuous.

Nevertheless. Heyrod the Lich was still unhappy with Veraprani's offense.

But after all, the other party was leading the army to fight bloodily on the front line, so he also suppressed his anger and said as unemotionally as possible: "His Majesty De Rossi is doing his best.

The enemy also knew the importance of reinforcements.

According to him, the path was full of human resistance armies, and they fought fiercely every day. ”

Veraprani's face was extremely ugly, and he knew in his heart that it was a lie.

He fought all the way, except for the city of Delong, which was defended by the Papal Army's Bayer legion. In addition to being conquered by himself, the rest of the cities are all in his own hands.

At this moment, countless human armies suddenly appeared?

Even if a mouse lays a cub, it can't be so fast.

There was not a single soldier of the Holy See west of the town of Vercarra, and they were all besieging him here.

As for the partisans, it is even more of a big joke.

Guerrillas may affect logistics and transportation, may affect reconnaissance, may affect information transmission, but they cannot stop the movement of large forces at all.

That guerrilla would have no brains to go head-to-head with a regular army of 100,000 people?

Veraprani shook her head. Said earnestly: "Master, I said that De Rossi is a sinister and cunning villain. There is no way to govern the army, and the commander is incompetent, and he is not of great use.

I implore God to change the command of the reinforcements, if it were our Semitic generals, the reinforcements would have arrived. ”

Helord snorted imperceptibly and said, "I will convey the general's opinion to His Majesty the Divine Throne." ”

"Convey, convey~!" Veraprani roared angrily, "Isn't it true that the Divine Throne can't see it, isn't the Semitic more credible than a human?"

De Rossi is delayed, this is to make 100,000 people die here on our west road~!"

"A qiē is the will of His Majesty of the Divine Throne. Hylord was immediately furious, and said solemnly: "Do you have any problem with the disposition of the divine seat?"

Veraprani was stunned for a moment, then his face changed, and he hurriedly said: "No, I didn't, Master, you misunderstood, I resolutely carry out the orders of the Divine Throne, however, it is also possible that His Majesty the Divine Throne was deceived by that villain of De Rossi." ”

"The Divine Throne is omnipresent and omnipotent," said the Lich Herod coldly, "Your Majesty's wisdom is beyond our imagination. ”

Veraprani couldn't say a word when he choked, and whatever he said, he became a questioning high priest, a hat he couldn't afford.

The Lich Heylord waved his hand and suddenly smiled: "Don't talk about this, I have brought His Majesty the Divine Throne to the general's commendation this time. ”

"What?" Veraprani was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "Commendation?"

I secretly said in my heart: The battle has been fought like this, and the army of 150,000 at the time of departure is now only 60,000 people, and it is still worthy of commendation? It would be good not to cut off the head.

"The High Priest has an order," Helord said in a solemn tone.

Veraprani hurriedly touched his feet, snapped, straightened up, and said in a loud voice: "Veraprani listens." ”

Helord glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "In view of your preeminence in the war, Your Majesty the Great Demon God of the Throne has bestowed upon you the glory of the Great Demon God.

You are hereby promoted to Emperor and rule over the entire western part of the continent, from the Derossi Empire to the Ruman Empire. ”

He took a half-step back. Nodding to Veraprani, "Congratulations, King...... Now it's the Emperor's Majesty. The land you rule over is as big as the whole of Psilom.

It can be described as soaring, and the future is great~~

Haha, hahaha......"

At this moment, a lich behind Helord held out a tall crown.

The golden crown was inlaid with hundreds of glowing gemstones, and in the center of the crown was a diamond the size of a pigeon's egg, which even the dark ground could not hide its brilliant light.

"I'm ......" Veraprani looked at the crown, and his heart instantly felt like 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by, and he secretly said in his heart: What does this mean by the throne?

Emperor?

At this time, what's the use of crowning him emperor?

The Semitic people's thrones are still empty, what is he as an emperor?

Veraprani now prefers to use this emperor's hat in exchange for reinforcements of tens of thousands of people.

Not to mention the so-called land, most of which is still in the hands of humans.

"What? The High Priest's brain is also covered with. Do you have to make the human record a little bigger?" Veraprani sneered secretly in his heart: when Lorraine kills them all, there will be a Semitic emperor in the battle book. It must be more glorious than a Semitic general.

Come to think of it. A flash of lightning flashed through his mind.

When I think of that terrible truth. He suddenly fell into an ice cave, his whole body trembled, his face was pale like a ghost, his mind was blank, and he looked at the lich opposite in a daze.

Looking at the other party's empty eyes, even though the Lich Herod had seen countless dead people, he was also quite uncomfortable at this time.

The green glow in his eyes drooped, and he said calmly: "Your Majesty." You must hold on, we are trying our best to rescue His Majesty and the besieged Semitic compatriots.

His Majesty must have faith in the Semitic race, have faith in us undead, and have faith in His Majesty the Divine Throne.

When His Majesty triumphs in the future and leads the army back to Ryder City, the Divine Throne will inevitably hold a grand welcoming ceremony to crown His Majesty with his own hands. ”

He peeked at Veraprani to see if the other party had grasped the meaning of his words, then coughed lightly and said, "Uh." My mission is complete, Your Majesty. I am here to go back and convey your opinion to the throne. ”

Veraprani picked the corners of his mouth, but in the end he didn't smile, just waved his hand weakly and said, "No." ”

Heylord the Lich gave a rare bow, then turned and walked out of the underground headquarters, flying back to the waiting fortress of war, and quickly disappeared into the night canopy.

After Hylode left, Veraprani sat on the stone bench in a daze, staring blankly at the glittering crown on the sarcophagus, not knowing what he was thinking.

A young officer next to him looked at him as if he was very disappointed, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you have become the emperor, and we will have the opportunity to be the king in the future, the Grand Duke." ”

The officers around him smiled happily at the same time, as if a bright future awaited them in the future.

"What is there to be happy about. Veraprani glanced at his officers, raised his hand to knock the crown on the sarcophagus away, his eyes fierce and cold, and said in a deep voice: "The high priest is forcing us to die. ”

The crown fell to the ground with a clanging sound, and the ornate crown rolled on the ground a few times before hitting an officer's foot and listening.

The officer jumped to his feet in fright, took a few steps back and stood with his hands down.

The officers next to him were stunned for a moment, bowing their heads and being silent under Veraprani's gaze.

"How come," the attendant officer, who had been following Veraprani, smiled reluctantly, walked over and picked up the crown on the ground, put it aside, and returned to Veraprani's side, "This is just a setback, as long as Your Majesty leaves here and regroups, we can fight again." ”

Veraprani shook his head with a wry smile and said, "What future does an emperor have who left all his soldiers and fled?"

Everyone looked at each other, and sighed secretly in their hearts, even if they could break through and return to Ryder City safely, what kind of fate would await them?

The High Priest of the Dead will no longer appoint a group of defeated generals, and will even hold them accountable for their failures.

But they were only following the High Priest's orders, and the High Priest and the lichs around him were to blame for today's situation.

The Semitic soldiers had done their duty.

However, the high priest is wise and wise, how can he make mistakes? Therefore, the ones who make mistakes must be the following people~!

When the time comes, this black cauldron can only be carried by them.

"Besides, can I leave these soldiers behind?" Veraprani shook his head and said, "What will the Semitic people think of me Veraprani, a coward, coward?"

"Your Majesty, hold on, we still have hope?" the attendant officer cautiously reassured him.

"Who are you counting on?" Veraprani glared at him, exasperated, "Do you count on De Rossi? or on the lichs?"

The attendant officer also fell silent, knowing that the facts had been proven, and neither of them could be relied upon.

The only thing that can be relied on is still the Semitic compatriots, but the Semitic army that is most likely to reinforce them has just been dragged in the Duchy of Kiel by the coalition forces of the Maple Leaf Danlin and the Holy See, and it is difficult to protect itself at the moment.

It is tantamount to saying that the greatest hope has been dashed.

Veraprani held his forehead with one hand, waved his hand to his subordinates, and said, "Let's all go and rest." Don't bother me. ”

The officers turned and dispersed, walking out of the command headquarters with heavy steps.

Only a few of the attendant officers remained by Veraprani's side, and they looked at each other while shaking their heads helplessly.

Veraprani's deity was quite complex, sighing from time to time, the expression on his face was constantly changing, and sometimes he would stand up and pace back and forth, obviously thinking something inside.

The time was getting later and later, and slowly the battlefield was silent, and after a day of fierce fighting, the soldiers on both sides were exhausted, and they seized the time to rest in order to cope with the battle that might be even more fierce tomorrow.

The Semitic officers and soldiers knew that it was only a matter of time before humanity would finally attack.

Until the second half of the night, the officers and soldiers in the headquarters could not help but doze off, and Veraprani raised his hand and summoned one of his closest officers.

The officer immediately stood in front of Veraprani.

Veraprani looked him up and down for a long time before he said in a deep voice, "Child, I have a ...... with me Twelve years, right?"

Childe looked at Veraprani strangely, and said, "Yes, General...... Uh, 陛xià, twelve years and nine months. ”

"It's been a long time. Veraprani sighed with emotion: "I can't let you be a marquis, it's my incompetence as a manager." ”

Then he raised his hand to stop Chard's words, and continued, "So I can't watch you all die here with me." ”

Childe was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly, "What do you mean?"

"I need you on a secret and dangerous mission. Veraprani raised his head, looked at Childe with blazing eyes, and said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, you command. Childe puffed up his chest and swore an oath: "Unless I die, I promise to complete the task." ”

"Good. Veraprani took a long breath, and said secretly in his heart: The great demon god is above, and I hope I am right to do this...... (To be continued.) )
