Kanna raised her hands and slowly approached. When he walked up to the other party, he found that they were still very vigilant, with weapons in hand. Kanna smiled and said, "My name is Nana, and I am the leader of the Flower Expedition. Depending on your team configuration, are you a mercenary here to help deal with the problem of the undead? ”

The captain-like man put his two-handed greatsword into his scabbard and said, "Yes. Flower...... Expedition...... How is this name a little familiar......"

A man dressed as a bard with a viele on his back interjected in the back: "Captain, you forgot?" I sang songs about the Flower Expedition. They are a famous expedition of the Warrior Kingdom. ”

Marveling at the spread of her team's reputation to other countries, Kanna asked, "Have you seen our expedition?" ”

The bard scratched his head and said, "I haven't seen it...... I've heard that too. I heard that you wiped out an army of demons in Swan City, and slaughtered a dozen dragons all over the world. So I wrote these deeds into a ballad, hehe. ”

Kanna: "......"

"The bard profession is too unreliable, and I must not have bards in my team in the future." Kanna thought.

The captain-like male exclaimed, "That's amazing! By the way, forgot to introduce yourself. We are a team of mercenaries from the kingdom of Houli Brulan Sland. I'm Captain Henry Anderson, a member of the Knights of the Radiant. The bard's name was Wendell. ”

Wendell immediately bowed deeply to Kanna in an exaggerated gesture: "Whatever you need, I am here for you, my beautiful lady." ”

Kanna smiled awkwardly but politely.

Henry continued, "These teammates are Primo the Warrior, Lucy the Priest, Monica, and Jim the Assassin. ”

In the world of Xenowo, the main professions related to combat and exploration are warrior, knight, rogue, mage, priest, Ranger, druid, doctor, etc. There are many branches and factions depending on the direction of study.

For example, the classes of the warrior faction include ordinary warriors, soldiers, shield guards, berserkers, barbarians, and so on. Among them, ordinary fighters are the most common fighters, which are very cure-all. You can master a variety of weapons, and then practice the combat skills of all types of fighters according to your preferences and habits. Kanna and Garcia are like that. Soldiers tend to be regular soldiers, skilled in two-handed weapons or sword and shield combat, and skilled in traps and teamwork, such as Edward. Berserkers are mostly mercenaries who are accustomed to fighting with dual-wielding one-handed weapons and are good at dealing damage. Barbarians are mostly warriors with natural powers, who value strength training and don't care much about technique, and some barbarians with infinite strength are said to be able to fight with two huge two-handed weapons.

Elementalists belong to the mage faction and are mages who focus on the study of elemental magic, and tend to memorize more elemental magic, and the elemental magic cast by them is more powerful. The cost is that other types of magic cannot be used at all at the eighth order or higher. Elementalist is a high-level class of elementalist, due to the understanding of elemental magic and mastery of the fire, in addition to the number of casts corresponding to the class level, the number of casts of all magic levels can be increased by an additional number of elemental magic.

The Assassins belonged to the Wanderer faction and excelled in assassination. Bards also belong to the Wanderer faction and excel at singing, bragging, and seducing good men and women.

One by one, they nodded to Kanna.

Kanna returned the salute one by one, smiling and saying, "Nice to meet you." In other words, why didn't the members of the Radiant Knights act collectively with the legion and form a mercenary team to come here? ”

Henry said seriously: "Houli Brulan Sland is now spreading the Demon Sect, and the Radiant Knights are investigating and suppressing it everywhere, and they are lacking in skills. Captain Ward Arthur sent more than a dozen members of the regiment to form an elite mercenary team on their own, scattered throughout the Russian Bonddenland Confederation. While investigating the forces behind the undead incident, you can eliminate the scattered undead. The mercenary team is more flexible and can come and go freely. After all, without an army with absolute superiority, it would be unwise to engage the undead legion head-on. As we all know, if you fight a war of attrition with the undead, there will be fewer and fewer friendly troops and more and more enemy troops. ”

Kanna thought to herself, "I didn't expect the Knight Kingdom to be the same way I dealt with the undead."

Henry continued: "Did you come alone? What about your teammates? ”

"We couldn't see clearly in the middle of the night, and we were worried that the sudden outpouring of a bunch of people would bring unnecessary misunderstandings. So my teammates didn't come over there. Kanna pointed in the direction behind her.

Henry said kindly: "Since everyone is a comrade-in-arms who has come to deal with the problem of the undead, you might as well call over and get to know each other." ”

Instead of refusing Henry's suggestion, Canna called out the partners and introduced them one by one.

Wendell immediately bowed deeply to Julia in an exaggerated gesture: "Whatever you need, I am here to help, my beautiful lady." ”

Julia had never seen a man so attentive to her, and was flattered to reply, "Ah...... Thank you...... You're so nice......"

Kanna coughed.

Edward pulled Julia behind him and said to Wendell, "I have a lot of needs, and please be sure to do my service." ”

"Ahh Tonight is clear and inspired, and I have a new song coming out of my head, and I want to write it down! Wendell walked to the side.

Wendell's teammates seemed to be accustomed to his words and actions, and they all laughed it off.

Henry said, "Captain Nana. Do you have any plans? ”

"Nope. We've just arrived here and don't know anything about it. ”

"I can share some information with you. The first few teams to enter the country sent back messages that most of them were operating near the royal city in order to cooperate with the combined forces of the city-state of Denland, Russia, to fight against the undead and collect front-line battle reports. A month ago, the undead creatures who had been fighting separately marched en masse, forming a siege network centered on the royal city, and gradually tightened. ”

Edward exclaimed, "No wonder I didn't see the undead along the way. In other words, the undead legion shows such discipline, there must be a mastermind behind it. ”

Henry said, "Yes, we also reasoned so. The first few groups of teams were in the encirclement and could not get out. So he sent a message back to his country with a raven. The regimental commander once again sent more than a dozen members of the regiment to form a mercenary team to investigate from the periphery of the encirclement network, looking for an opportunity to kill the person who commanded the undead legion. If you don't have the opportunity, at least you should investigate and send valuable information back home. My team will gather intel from the southwest in the direction of the royal city. If you don't have any other destination, you might as well join us. ”

Kanna thought for a moment and replied, "Okay. Let's act together first. ”

Henry said, "Yes. Time was pressing, so we rested every two nights and continued our journey tonight, while we talked about the rest as we went. ”

"Okay."

The Flower Expedition packed up and hurried with Henry.

Henry and Kanna led the ride side by side and said, "It is said that the undead army in the south is all skeleton soldiers, and there are no other units. I'm worried about ......"

Kanna laughed, "You're worried that it might not be the Necromancer who commands the Southern Undead Army, but the Skeleton King?" ”

Henry frowned and nodded.

Behind him, Edward asked, "Skeletons and kings?" ”

Kanna replied, "Skeletron is not the king of skeletons. But before he becomes a skeleton, he has to be a king. It depends on which era and country he is. ”

"For special reasons, the king's soul is trapped in the world. Under a special opportunity, the soul returned to his own bones, and he became Skeletron. The Pure Skeleton Army is most likely led by Skeletron. Because the undead army led by the necromancer or other undead elites is often mixed and will not be so single. Henry added, "Skeletron is strong. With the class level and combat skills before his death, coupled with a strong body that is extremely difficult to break, an indestructible will of the dead, and Skeletron's special legendary skills, he has a nightmarish existence. There is only one Skeletron recorded in history, and hopefully there won't be a new Skeletron this time. ”

Kanna took over and said, "The one in history was still in the years of strife among the nations of mankind. Around 1660, Douglas, Marquis of Brownsland, south of Houli Bruus, proclaimed himself king and was exterminated by King George. King Douglas and his family of more than 20 people were ordered by King George to pierce with spears and insert them outside the city to expose their bodies. After the corpse was pecked clean by vultures and ravens, King Douglas's wraith returned to his bones and became the first Skeletron. Tens of thousands of bones who died in the war responded to Skeletron's call to break through the ground, and instantly destroyed the two heavily guarded cities of Houli Brulan and Rand. In the face of the growing Skeleton Army, Brown Lancerand and Meredes ceased war and worked together to eliminate Skeletron. Taking this as an opportunity, and the death of King George in H1669, the two countries signed a non-aggression pact between Brown Ransland and Meredes, and peace has been maintained ever since. This time, if only the southern undead army is led by Skeletron, it is impossible to imagine what level of monster is behind it. ”

The nations of mankind are divided. In 1613, Prince George Augustus succeeded in a coup d'état. Emperor William Augustus, the rightful heir to the throne of the Empire, is rescued by the elven sword dancer "Melodious Jeka" who happens to be traveling in the capital city of Radiance, and flees to the south. Many lords took advantage of the opportunity to declare independence, and the war between humans lasted for more than 50 years. Countless self-reliant kingdoms have fallen, and countless common people have suffered misery. Since then, there has been no unified empire for mankind, and the Empire of St. Paules has been renamed the Kingdom of Houli Brulandsland, and stands together with five other human nations in the Alien World.

Henry sighed and said, "I hope I'm wrong." ”

Edward said, "I have a question. The king's soul returned to his bones, and he became Skeletron. So what if his body is not reduced to bones, or is it in the state of a corpse? Then become the Zombie King? ”

Kanna explained, "I don't know. This has not been the case in history. There are only two types of known zombies, one is ordinary zombies who have been awakened by necromantic magic and have no self-awareness; One is the Unsleep Zombie whose soul has not left the body and awakens on its own. If the Sleepless Zombie does not correspond to necromantic magic, it cannot summon zombies or skeletons to fight for it, and the danger level is not comparable to that of Skeletron. ”

Edward asked, "Skeletron doesn't need magic to summon skeletons?" ”

Kanna replied, "King Douglas was a pure warrior when he was alive, how could it be necromantic magic?" Historical records record that wherever Skeletron went, skeletons who died within a radius of ten miles would stand up and join his army. It is speculated that Skeletron has an aura ability that covers an area of several kilometers, and can automatically awaken skeletons that die within the aura. In addition, historical sources also record that the king was often accompanied by a powerful Champion Skeleton. It is speculated that Skeletron has the ability to infuse powerful souls into skeletons and become skeleton defenders. But the Skeleton Defenders should not be too far away from Skeletron, otherwise dust will return to dust and dust to dust. ”

Edward seemed to have something else to ask, but didn't say it. Because he could clearly feel Julia, who was sitting behind him, holding his waist around his waist, trembling all over. Edward placed his left hand over Julia's hand. Julia slowly calmed down, clinging to Edward's back.

After that, the team members moved forward silently in order to recuperate, and there was nothing else to say.
