"Did you make an appointment?" Pedi looked at the three people who appeared almost at the same time, his eyelids couldn't help but jump wildly, and he deliberately used very relaxed language to hide his slightly nervous mood at the moment.

"Not really. Erin Phil shook her head and walked over to Pedi and hugged him, "I've been monitoring the magic net for a while, and just half an hour ago, the evil energy in the magic net suddenly became extremely active, which is very abnormal!" she looked at Pedi and suggested:

"I think you should bring in your court mage and ask if any anomalies have been detected by monitoring devices throughout the kingdom. ”

Pedi secretly calmed the tension in his heart, looked at Draxier and Hanina and asked, "I hope the news you brought is not too bad." ”

To be honest, he was really scared that two people would suddenly tell him that a town in the kingdom was occupied by the undead legion.

"The Legion of the Undead has appeared!" said Drahir, grimacing.

Hanina nodded and was about to speak, when Pedi couldn't help but ask, "Where is it?"

"Not in the Suk Plains!" Drahiel's reply, causing Pedi's heart to suddenly start beating wildly again, "In the Duchy of Rigrock... Moreover, their army has already arrived in Karon!"

"Principality of Rigrock?" Peddy breathed a sigh of relief, and then subconsciously asked, "How can it be so fast?" Without waiting for Drahir to answer, he replied again: "Principality of Rigrock! Oh, they are really good at picking places, and now the entire Eastern Continent is the weakest defense of Principality of Rigrock. ”

"Yes... While this is better than appearing directly in the Suk Plains, things are much more serious than we thought!" Drahier said, "Karen City is not a small city, if this city is completely assimilated, they can equip an elite army of at least two hundred thousand undead, as well as countless ghouls, spirits, etc., who are not afraid of life and death. ”

Hanina followed: "The Battle of Klan has officially ended, and the army of Shikan-Silveraxe has entered Klan City, and is arranging the defense of Klan City with the army led by Twak. She looked calm, looking at Pedi and then at Delahir, "According to the intelligence, the Duchy of Suluk and the city-state alliance are not aware of the impending crisis, and they are even fighting over control of the Tephilo steppes. ”

Drahir immediately said, "Don't worry about this, when our army entered the Suk Plains, they realized the seriousness of the matter, and—" he smiled, "I didn't say that only the Principality of Rigrock has an undead legion!"

"What do you mean?" Pei Di couldn't help but ask, and subconsciously looked at Erin Fei'er beside him, and the slight nodding of the other party made him feel a little bad.

"Literally..."Draxier said, "I'm sure that in the entire continent, except for the dwarves, as long as the intelligent races have studied the power of the elements, there have been many evil gods who believe in certain self-proclaimed gods... Do you think they will pass up this opportunity?"

Erin Fei'er followed, "The information fed back by the magic net tells me that somewhere in the north of Karen City, an evil force is madly devouring all good things!"

"Is there any specific information?" Pedi looked at Hanina, but the other frowned as if she didn't know.

There was a sudden knock on the door of the "tuk tuk" room, and everyone in the room, including the clerk who was taking notes, couldn't help but look at the door.

Pedi immediately commanded the staff officer, "Open the damn door for me!"

Baron Hanina, who was closest to the door, did not wait for the staff officer to approach, but rushed to open the door first, and resisted it so that it would not be closed again.

The knock on the door was Secretary-General Otwood, who had just left the draft order, and he stood at the door and whispered, "Your Majesty, your Chief Mage of the Court, Lady Leah, asks to see you. ”

"Where is she?" Pedi was stunned, looking behind Otwood, "I mean, let her in!"

The solemn atmosphere in the king's office made Leah a little depressed, but now she didn't care about this, and when the figure of Pedi appeared in her eyes, she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in the western area of the Harrence Heights, there is information from the southern territory of Fort Herien, there are a large number of undead appearing, they... No, they are raging in the borders of our kingdom!"

"The worst has happened, Your Majesty. Hearing this, the gloating expression on his face at the beginning had long since disappeared, "Their expansion must be curbed immediately!"

Pedi reacted immediately, he suppressed the shock that was about to spread in his heart, looked at the secretary general and said, "Immediately give an order to the Knight Duru, the camp of the Ukalo Mountains in the Harrence Heights... If the soldiers in the camp are still intact, immediately advance towards the Herion Territory and sweep away all the undead in their path!"

"Command... The garrisons of all the towns in the southern part of the Harrens Heights will assemble in the Northern Pass Fortress, and let Sir Fred go to the headquarters to command the fortress army, and stop the undead from expanding into the city of Harrens and the southern part of the Highlands at all costs!"

"Canonize Sira Marne as the Marshal of the Kingdom, and assemble the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Corps around Crewe City, the First Legion of the Heavy Cavalry, the Paladin Legion, and the Wizard Corps in the northern camp of the city, and wait for my orders. ”

"Send an order to the police station, put down everything in your hand that is handling the case, make every effort to arrest all believers who believe in evil gods, and give Tang Wright full authority to deal with this case!"

Hanina was startled by the order and instinctively wanted to say something, but reality told her that it was better not to say anything now.

"Announce to the whole country that the war is passed, tell the people the truth, and the war is coming again... This time it's about the war between good and evil!"

Pedi pointed at Hanina and also at Draxiel, "I need information, all the information, the latest information... The war situation in Rigrok, the information from the Heron Lords, the intelligence from all over the kingdom, the intelligence from the Suker Plains, the intelligence of the orcs...", he said, and then looked at the mage Leah, "I don't want this to happen." ”

Seeing that Pedy had no intention of issuing another order, Otwood took the note and handed it to Pedy.

Pedi looked at the orders he had just issued above, and added, "Enlist Viscount Geeberke-Donna and Earl Jack-Borg as my staff officers... Also, to bring Viscount Zerodine-Marne to Crewe and, of course, my nephew, Sir Benedict Marne. ”

"Your Majesty, as your advisor, I have to advise you to continue to recruit more soldiers. Grasping the gap, Drachier immediately said, "The strength in your hands is not enough to deal with the next war. ”

Previously, Draxier thought that with the strength of the Kingdom of Kruria, the regular army would remain at least about 150,000 people, but yesterday he found out that the regular strength of this seemingly powerful country was actually less than 60,000, and even the garrison corps in various places were less than 100,000.

"Of course!" said Peddy nodded, looking at his secretary-general, "let Sir Bipp prepare, I need a speech to let my people know what we are up against." ”

...

Ukalo Mountain Forest Garrison Barracks,

Knight Dulu, dressed in military uniform, stood on the arrow tower closest to the camp gate, looking at the swaying figure of the dark forest path in the distance, with a solemn expression on his face.

At this moment, the entire camp has been surrounded by a group of undead creatures that suddenly appeared, and the reason for all this is because of the wrong decision made by Knight Drulu yesterday.

Yesterday morning,

The undead suddenly became extremely active around the camp, but the Duru Knight miscalculated their danger and sent only a small team of soldiers to surround them.

One afternoon later, the squad lost contact with the battalion command,

Knight Duru, who was the commander for the first time, once again made the wrong choice, because he did not realize what he was encountering, he did not even report what he encountered to the military headquarters in the first place, and he chose to close the camp gate after sending out scouts.

One night later, the camp was surrounded!

The Duru Knight looked at the undead wandering in the distance outside the jungle, letting the disgusting smell of fishy smell pour into his nostrils and irritate his lungs as a warning of his bad decision yesterday.

"Has the letter for help been sent?" As the commander of the most elite Fifth Legion in Krewe, Knight Duru did not seem too nervous when facing the current crisis.

"The mages say that teleportation magic has long been cut off, and we can only use the Blood Eagle...", Deputy Commander Knight Lemsit looked worried, "The military department will not receive news until tomorrow morning at the earliest, and the reinforcements will take at least five days... Or half a month to arrive. ”

"So," Lemsit stared at his immediate superior, "we can't just think about relying on reinforcements, we have to find a way to get out of these 'corpses' on our own." ”

"I really hope that the military department can understand the situation we are experiencing now. Knight Duru let out a breath of turbidity, picked up his bow and arrows and shot a ghoul wandering not far away, looked at his deputy and said, "You don't have to worry too much... It can be seen from the internal announcement issued by His Majesty some time ago that the kingdom has long been prepared for the appearance of these guys, and although those big people in Kawalburg are really stupid sometimes, they never make mistakes in real big things. ”

Lemsi nodded in agreement, and then asked again, "Did the scout send a message back?"

"The latest news came back at six o'clock in the morning, there are no living people in the area around the camp, and almost all the villages and towns in the southern part of the Herion Territory are overrun by the undead. Lemsit spoke quickly, "We must find a way to break out of the siege as soon as possible, and the message from the scouts suggests that we move in the direction of the northern highlands, where there are relatively few undead. ”

"Come and see Your Majesty is right, a new war has begun again, this is a war between good and evil!" With solemnity in his eyes, Duru said after throwing the bow and arrow in his hand to the soldier next to him: "I feel like I'm still dreaming now!"

"They kill the living and then rise again. Lemsit had a solemn expression on his face, "Although the internal notice told us about this, I always thought it was impossible until then. He stared at the Duru Knight and said:

"You have to find a way to break out immediately, otherwise..."

Duru frowned and said, "But we need more information, and maybe the military department may have other arrangements for us... If we act on our own, we may cause unnecessary trouble for the plans of the military department. ”

Duru is not the commander of a certain corps now, but the supreme commander of a battalion, so he naturally thinks about more things, and before he knows it, he has become the 'useless' commander in his former eyes.

"But if we just wait, we're going to die," Lemsit pointed to the dense crowd of undead creatures outside the forest, "I don't want to be like that..."

"Before the 6th of this month, there weren't many of them, and they would just wander aimlessly. "But in the last two days their numbers have increased dramatically, and they have attacked our forward posts and blocked our magical communications, so they no longer wander aimlessly, and every action has its own purpose. ”

"The military announcement makes it clear that they have intelligence, and these guys are not the ghouls we usually encounter. Lemsit answered, "But even so, they are still weak, but there are a lot of them...", he looked at Duru as he spoke, "I still stick to my opinion and choose to break through... Don't you think these guys are too strong, how many troops can be gathered in such a short time?"

The deputy's similar analysis had already said that his subordinates had been ten times, and Du Lu had listened carefully no less than ten times, and the reason why he had not paid attention to the other party's proposal before that was because of the lack of information in his hands, and at the same time he was waiting for specific orders from the military headquarters, but now that almost thirty hours had passed, the military headquarters had not sent specific orders, and the scouts had also touched the situation in the surrounding area at the moment.

"How's the morale of the soldiers?" said Durrou, who was silent for a few seconds.

"Don't worry, the soldiers weren't intimidated by these things, after all, we killed a lot of these monsters when we swept the mountains and forests before!" Lemsit subconsciously pressed the saber on his waist, "Their nails can't even break the soldiers' chain mail." ”

"But what if we encounter that unknown monster again?" Duru exhaled, "We have less than ten paladins and less than a hundred... Without the protection of the walls, our soldiers have little resistance under their claws. ”

"I don't think that kind of monsters can appear indefinitely, or they would have been attacking our walls long ago, not just surrounding them. Lemsit couldn't help but grab Duru's arm, "Don't always think about failure, think about your honor, think about the ten thousand robed brothers who follow us, think about them, one of your decisions is related to their life and death!"

"It was because I thought of them that I didn't dare to make random decisions. "If it's just the two of us here, I wouldn't hesitate to open the gates and charge at the monsters outside, so that their heads are smashed by my hammer." ”

"But..."

"I'm already thinking about your suggestion. Duru looked at the sun slowly rising in the sky, "Go and gather our staff officers, I need to listen to their opinions... Also, don't forget to have our clerk there. ”
