"We've been looking for so many days, but we haven't seen even the shadow of the undead, and the other teams don't seem to have found it. One of the scouts took a rabbit leg, bit off a piece of meat, and munched on it with a slurred voice, "I think the undead army may have run away a long time ago." ”

"Don't talk nonsense. Another scout said, "The Sidonis army has surrounded the city of Sonali, it is their lair, and it is said that many necromancers are also surrounded in the city, how can the undead army care." ”

"Why haven't you found it until now?" the previous scout retorted, "I don't believe that such a large army can be invisible." If nothing else, their stench alone can be smelled from miles away. ”

"This is indeed strange, and if we want to relieve the siege of Sonali, it is impossible not to pass through our defense zone. Another scout said, "If you keep hiding, won't it be pointless to wait for the Sidonis to capture Sonali?" ”

"Could it be a misjudgment on the part of Lord Raymond, the necromancer is no longer in Sonali. One of the scouts speculated, "Maybe they've escaped from Ravitt." ”

"How is it possible, Lord Raymond would never make such a mistake. The other scouts scolded.

The scout who was accused retorted loudly, and the room was in a commotion.

"Alright, shut up!" At this time, the leading captain stopped the crowd, and he said in a deep voice: "This kind of thing is not our concern, we just need to act according to orders." ”

"Give me a good rest, and report back to Lord Bathter tomorrow. ”

One of the scouts opened his mouth to say something, when there was a sudden snapping sound outside the house, which was particularly harsh in the silence of the night.

As if pricked by a needle, the scout jumped to his feet, drew his weapon and looked nervously out the window.

The other scouts also showed their vigilance, and the captain was the most calm. He whispered, "Russ, what's wrong?"

After a while, the scout standing guard outside the house replied, "It's nothing, a mouse knocked over a clay pot." ”

Everyone in the room immediately relaxed, and the scout who had just reacted the most violently became the object of everyone's ridicule: "Snorley." I don't usually see it, but your reaction is quite fast. ”

The scout named Snorlei couldn't help but blush: "I... I'm just a little..."

"We've searched during the day, and there's not a single hair around this village, what are you doing so nervously. Someone said.

"You know, Snorley reacted so quickly, it means that he is always on his guard. Another said, "That's one of the conditions to be a top scout." ”

In the laughter of everyone, Shi Norley couldn't help but feel embarrassed. However, everyone was born and died together, and although he was angry, he could not attack, so he could only accept their ridicule depressedly.

"Speaking of which, though. When I first trained with Master Bath, I had a much better reaction than Snorley. Fortunately, someone quickly diverted the subject.

"Do you remember the time when Lord Bathter threw us into the graveyard for the night?"

"Of course, that night was the scariest night I've ever had. Immediately, someone said, "The slightest movement can scare me half to death." ”

"What's even worse is that Mistress Bathter is pretending to be a ghost to scare us. Someone recalled: "Remember Nexel of Team 7? It is said that he was scared to tears that night. ”

"And in that confrontation exercise, Lord Baster actually attacked us while we were camping, and as a result, he 'killed' everyone who participated. ”

"And there's..."

Soon, the scene turned into a memorial meeting and a criticism meeting against Baste, and everyone was gossiping. Reminiscing about the time when he was a rookie and was trained by Bath.

The captain did not stop them, the scout was a high danger. And in a stressful profession, after confirming that he is in a safe environment, he will not interfere with his subordinates to vent appropriately.

Moreover, the captain himself was also a victim of Baster's perverted training.

At that moment, there was another snapping sound outside the house.

The players who were in the heat of discussion didn't pay attention, but the captain was keenly aware of the anomaly.

"Strange. Is it a rat again?" muttered the captain, and although he had already confirmed that the village was safe, he asked cautiously, "Russ, go and see what is going on." ”

Outside the house, there was no answer from Russ, and the captain's heart jumped. I felt a faint sense of unease.

His men are all experienced scouts and will never ignore orders.

"Russ?" he shouted again, but there was still no response from outside the house.

Convinced that something was happening, the captain immediately whispered: "Quiet, something is wrong outside." ”

Everyone in the room immediately fell silent, and they realized from the captain's solemn face that something was unusual, and everyone showed a look of vigilance.

The two of them quickly moved to the window and guarded the key positions, and the rest of the people also quietly figured out their weapons.

"Captain, what's going on?" asked Snorley in a low voice.

"I don't know what to say yet. The captain shook his head: "But Russ may have an accident." ”

"Russ?" a scout in front of the window peeked out, but it was pitch black, silent, and nothing out of the ordinary.

"Shut down the flames and prepare for battle!" the captain ordered.

Snorley immediately extinguished the bonfire, and as the fire went out, the room fell into darkness, and only the embers of the fire glowed faintly red, flickering slightly.

Although it was not clear what was happening, everyone in the room became nervous as the light faded, and the sound of rapid gasping was faintly heard.

Just then, the door creaked open.

A figure appeared in the doorway, and due to the darkness, only a vague black shadow could be seen. He just stood in front of the door, and did not come in, let alone make the slightest sound, which seemed very strange.

The captain stretched out his finger and tapped it lightly three times, and the scouts next to him understood, and immediately under the cover of darkness. Silently scattered. Since they have long been aware of the situation in the house, they can move freely even in the dark.

"Who are you?" asked the captain in a low voice.

As expected, the other party did not mean to answer at all.

There's not much more to say, and the comer has shown enough hostility that the scouts don't need to be polite anymore.

"Up!"

With a loud shout, the captain stretched out his feet and picked them up in the fire. Suddenly, a large cloud of ashes with a red light flew towards the people at the door, and countless sparks flew in the air.

At the same time, the scouts scattered around rushed towards the people from all directions, and in the long battle, they already had a very high tacit understanding.

At this moment, through the moment of red light in the ashes, the appearance of the person at the door clearly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Russ!?" the captain stared.

The man at the door was Russ, who had been silent!

Then, I heard a pop. The ashes that had been picked up by the captain hit Russ, and in an instant, a large red light exploded, and the ashes that had not burned out touched the air, and flames erupted, some of which even burned Russ's clothes.

The light reappeared in the room, and the rest of the scouts stopped when they saw that the person at the door was their companion.

"It's Russ!?"

"What is he doing there?"

The scouts all exchanged strange looks, but stopped. But they were all vigilant, and no one let up. This is also a habit developed in long battles.

"What the hell are you doing, Russ?" the captain said in a deep voice, "Answer immediately!"

But Russ just stood in silence in front of the door, blank and deaf to the captain's questioning. Some flames burned on his clothes, and he didn't react.

Whoever is now can see that Russ is unusual. Snorley glanced back at the captain. The meaning is clear: what to do with him?

The situation tonight was really weird, and Russ, who was on guard outside, had somehow become like this. Suddenly, the captain realizes that the village that he thought was safe is actually hiding a huge danger.

This discovery made him break out in a cold sweat and forced him to react to the most extreme of extremes.

"Kill him!"

Hear the captain's orders. Everyone hesitated, but only for a moment, and everyone rushed towards Russ, their raised daggers flashing with a cold light.

At this moment, something incredible suddenly happened.

Hearing a crackling sound, Russ, who had been standing still, suddenly parted in the middle like a broken bread.

The massive cleft stretched from his lower abdomen to his neck, and as the muscles tore, the inside of his body was exposed to the air, and the scarlet organs were even wriggling. However, it was strange that not a single drop of blood came out, and the scene was extremely strange.

Immediately after, Bai Sensen's sternum and ribs bounced out of his muscles like rows of spear heads.

By this time, the scouts had rushed in front of him, and they didn't even have time to react to it because it was happening so fast.

"Be careful!" the captain in the rear only had time to give such a warning.

In the next moment, Russ's whole body exploded. The bones of his body shot out into the room like javelins. In an instant, the whole room was full of white bones, and the broken bones were as sharp as spears, densely filling the entire space.

No one was spared in such a dense fire, and in just a moment, the first few scouts were pierced through the body by the bones, and then the rest of the bones shot into the room in a chaotic manner, crackling and hitting like a torrential rain.

After a few seconds, it all stopped. I saw that all the walls and ceilings of the whole room were filled with white bones of different sizes, and where Russ was standing at the door, a large blood stain was sprayed in a radial shape, mixed with a little bit of minced meat, who would have thought that there was a person standing there just now.

All the scouts lay in pools of blood, their bodies covered in white bones, and everyone's eyes widened as if they couldn't believe what had happened to death.

Only the captain still had a voice, he sat on the ground, his back against the wall, two bones pierced his chest, blood continued to flow from his mouth, and even his breath was spurted blood foam, and he was not alive.

"But... Damn, what the hell is going on?" the captain's face was full of unwillingness, he had clearly confirmed that the village was safe, why did it become like this?

At this time, the dark room suddenly lit up, but I don't know when. A green flame burned from the ashes of the fire, and the light from the dancing green flame shrouded the room in a strange green light, which combined with the hellish scene around it, it was really indescribably strange and terrifying.

Seeing the iconic green flame, the captain already knew who did it. Really. I saw a man Shi Shiran walk in from outside the house.

He was well-dressed, his face handsome, and his gestures were graceful, like some young nobleman who had just come from a high-class banquet.

However, such a person, who appeared here late at night, had an indescribable incongruity. He walked slowly to the captain and looked at him: "You can still survive, you are good." ”

"You... Are you a necromancer?" the captain said, staring at the man.

"That's right, under Edward. I'm sure you've been looking for me lately, haven't you?" the man said.

The person who came was Edward, who commanded the army of the vanished undead, and Raymond's scouts were desperately searching, but he suddenly appeared here.

"You, you are here. The captain was excited and wanted to stand up, but as soon as he pulled the wound, he immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood and sat back weakly.

"Don't get excited. Edward said gently, like a doctor reassuring the patient: "Anyway, you will die soon, it is better to let yourself suffer a little less." ”

"Then I ask you. Is Raymond stationed in the town of Grayling not far away?" asked Edward.

"Do you think I'm going to answer you?" said the captain contemptuously.

"Of course not. Edward smiled slightly: "So, you should return to the arms of the god of the underworld with peace of mind." ”

said. Edward waved his hand, and the green flame of the fire seemed to be pulled by some kind of force, and the long snake rolled over and wrapped around the captain's body.

The captain's whole body immediately burst into flames, and his whole body was shrouded in green flames. He let out a terrible scream, and kept rolling and struggling on the ground. The flaming green flames did not scorch his body like ordinary flames, but slowly corroded his skin, but in a moment the captain's body was corroded to the bone, but he was still alive, and the screams echoed in the silent village. It makes people's scalp tingle.

"I've warned you that it's best not to be so miserable before you die. Edward looked at the burning man struggling on the ground with pity: "It's a pity that you don't listen to me. ”

Then he turned and left the room, the captain's screams of pain echoing behind him, until he grew deeper and quieter...

Walking outside, Edward stood in the empty village, and after a moment suddenly said, "Okay, let's go, it's time to give some color to those who can't help themselves." ”

The whole village was empty, and there was no one but him, who was Edward talking to?

However, as soon as Edward's words fell, suddenly from the shadows of those dilapidated houses, countless ghosts flew up one after another, like swimming fish in the sky, circling and flying above Edward's head.

Immediately after, groups of zombies and skeletons emerged from the wilderness outside the village, and they walked through the village in a neat queue, heading in the direction of Grayling Town.

Since these are undead, they are not bothered by military discipline and logistical supplies, so the undead army can maintain a high degree of secrecy when marching, and it is at night, which is simply undetectable.

Just by seeing that Edward eliminated this group of scouts, it was clear that the army of the undead was preparing to pass through this breach and attack the Hydington army.

Strangely, however, wasn't the army of the undead going to relieve the siege of Sonali, and it was the Beddington army that was the target, so it was no wonder that Edward didn't care whether Denek lived or died?

Since everything Raymond had set up was to ensure that the back of the Sidonis army would not be attacked, he had laid out all the lines of defense to protect the flanks of friendly forces, but neglected his own defenses.

But he wasn't to blame, who would have thought that the army of the undead would attack the Hydington army in spite of their own lair and guild leader?

Such an unexpected military operation may have caused great losses to the Headington army, but it did not help the whole situation of the war. And because of this, his position is exposed, and he loses the deterrent power that comes with hiding.

Once the city of Sonali is captured by the Sidonis Sect, it will be meaningless no matter how the war goes on here.

Edward wasn't stupid and couldn't have failed to see this, so what exactly did he want to do?

Follow hordes of zombies and skeletons through the village. Several necromancers who were in charge of manipulating the troops appeared behind Edward.

"Lord Edward, everything is ready. A necromancer said.

Edward nodded, a sneer on his face: "I'm afraid everyone doesn't know what to say now, we'll go for Raymond." I'd love to see what the look on his face was on his face in the morning when he noticed that the town of Grayling was surrounded by us. ”

"Let's go. Send all enemies into the arms of the gods. Afterward, he said.

"Yes. The necromancer whispered, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.

After a few more moments of silence in the village where the undead had crossed, Edward walked slowly towards the outside of the village.

"Planning... Here we go. ”

"My lord, Lord Raymond, something is wrong!"

Raymond was awakened from his sleep by a sharp knock on the door.

He sat up from the bed, his head still a little dazed because he was not fully awake. But the guards outside the door kept shouting anxiously. It shows that something terrible has happened.

Raymond habitually looked out the window, and it was pitch black outside, with only a faint whitish light in the sky, indicating that dawn was coming.

Fortunately, during the march, Raymond habitually slept in his clothes, grabbed the sword that was placed at the head of the bed, walked to the door and opened it.

A gust of night wind blew in, and Raymond was excited. Completely sober.

And as the door opened, Raymond also found out. The whole town of Grayling is already quite chaotic. Outside the house, there were figures running around, and there were constant exclamations and screams from the dark town, but for a moment it was impossible to see what was going on, and the situation was quite bad.

"What's going on?" Raymond asked calmly.

The guard said, "Lord Raymond, we have been attacked. ”

"What!?" Raymond was taken aback, the town of Grayling would be attacked by the enemy?

Centered on the town of Grelin. Raymond has set up several lines of defense around him, and this place can be said to be completely safe, and no enemy should be able to penetrate the defense line to attack here, who is it...

"Could it be?" Suddenly, a thought arose in Raymond's mind. Could it be the Sidonis? Only they could attack the unsuspecting Hedington.

Fortunately, the guard said, "It's the undead, they suddenly appeared outside the town and started attacking us!"

An army of the undead?

Although the suspicion of allies was cleared, this discovery shocked Raymond even more. Since entering the town of Grayling, Raymond has continuously sent scouts to search for traces of the undead army, but has never found it.

I didn't know that the other party was silently approaching the city tonight, which is incredible. How did they get through their own lines? Didn't they care about Sonali? Why did they attack here?

A series of questions popped up in Raymond's heart, but there was no reasonable explanation for a while, and the whole town was in chaos, and the screams of the soldiers continued one after another, which seriously hindered his thinking.

"Did you see clearly?" Still too hard to believe, Raymond couldn't help but ask, "Is it really the undead?"

"Yes, Lord Raymond, they're now—" the soldier said hurriedly.

However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a scream, and more than a dozen ghosts suddenly flew out of the darkness not far away, and rushed towards the surrounding Heddington army.

Wraith's attacks drain the life of humans, and although they do not cause immediate death, they can cause great panic on the battlefield due to their unafraid physical attacks.

The soldiers over there were pierced by the ghosts, many of them immediately fell to the ground due to exhaustion, others drew their weapons and tried to resist, but ordinary swords could not hit the disembodied ghosts at all, those terrifying-looking, translucent ghosts flew in the air, while attacking the warriors below, causing a great commotion.

At this time, there was no need for the guards to explain, and Raymond also knew that the attacker must be an undead. He immediately said, "How many undead are there, and how are our defenses?"

"I—I don't know what to say. The guard was dumbfounded, "I'm sorry, Lord Raymond. As soon as I found out that I had been attacked, I rushed to inform you, and I didn't know anything else. ”

This can't be blamed on the guards, Grelyn was suddenly attacked by night, and now I'm afraid that the whole army is in a panic, and it is unrealistic to expect his little guard to find out the enemy's situation.

Therefore, Raymond said without hesitation: "Quick, follow me!" (to be continued......)
