Valon: Even a supporting character can change his fate.

But the new king didn't stay in office for long.

Just today, not long after he sat on the throne, and before his subordinates had time to report what happened in the kingdom today, someone came to tell him that someone had come from the empire, an envoy, who said he came for the old king.

The young king did not think much about this. After all, they were nominally a vassal state of the empire. In exchange for peace in the kingdom and consolidating their own rule, they had paid tribute to the empire over the years, including gold, silver, treasures, and slaves.

Now that the old king is dead, there is nothing wrong with the other side sending an envoy to express condolences. The young king did not think much about it and waved his hand to have the envoy summoned into the palace.

Originally, the little king did not take it seriously. After all, this kind of thing is just superficial work, just for show and to save face.

But when he saw the envoy coming in, he couldn't help but frown.

The other person looked at him and wondered why he looked so familiar.

But now that the envoy had already stood still, the little king could only bite the bullet and ask, "Envoy, what do you want to do?"

The other party did not hide anything and decisively stated the purpose of his visit. Just as the little king guessed, he came for the dead old king.

After the two sides politely completed the condolences, the envoy did not leave, but stared at the little king sitting on it.

The pair of bloodshot eyes made the little king feel like a thorn in his back and a lump in his throat. After a long while, he finally asked, "Does the envoy have anything else to say?"

"Nothing else, I just want to borrow the little king's head."

After saying that, without giving the little king a chance to react, he rushed forward in one step. In his hand, a magic sword emitting bursts of coldness appeared, and he pierced the little king's chest in a flash.

Now anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was not an envoy at all, but an assassin who came to kill the king, and he had already succeeded.

As the magic sword was drawn out, the imagined scene of blood gushing out did not happen. Instead, bursts of biting cold air wafted out from the wound.

Then the little king's body shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he turned into a undead with a beast-like growl.

It all happened so quickly that by the time the officials below reacted and wanted to escape, it was too late.

The Blood Emperor, holding the magic sword, killed all the officials in the hall like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves and transformed them into undead.

Following the Blood Emperor's order, a large number of undead rushed out of the kingdom and scattered to attack the living people. The Blood Emperor walked slowly among the undead, and from time to time he used the weapons in his hands to turn the living people he met into undead.

Unlike undead magic, this method of killing is obviously much more efficient, and among the undead that were killed, many have mutated, including special types of soldiers such as skeleton mages and skeleton knights.

What happened next was simple. Under the leadership of the Blood Emperor, the number of undead grew like a snowball, and soon the entire kingdom was occupied by the undead.

Like the undead in the west, they also confronted the border troops, set up camps, and built high walls.

The difference is that although the population of this small country is not large, because it did not rashly launch an attack on the border troops, its population is actually larger than that of the west.

In addition, many of these undead were killed and transformed by the Blood Emperor's magic sword, and many powerful mutants were born among them, so in terms of overall strength, they can be said to have crushed the West.

The reason why Valon did not send the Blood Emperor to the more populous western region, but sent him to the eastern coastal area, was mainly because the strategic location of this area was too important.

You know, Bai and others have already led the initial undead army to develop at sea. The position occupied by the Blood Emperor is to be used for support when Bai's army returns in the future.

The Blood Emperor naturally knew this, so after creating a sufficient number of undead armies to put pressure on the border troops, the Blood Emperor decisively turned his attention and focused his main energy on the coastal areas.

You know, these coastal areas are not only inhabited by humans, but also by merfolk and half-merfolk, who are all natural high-quality laborers.

After slaughtering them all and transforming them into undead, the Blood Emperor began to command the expansion of the original port, increasing its carrying capacity and area while greatly strengthening its own defense capabilities.

Build more ships for later use.

The number of undead in the east and west is still increasing. The emperor already knows the benefits of the Holy Heaven Sect. News has also come from Bai's side. Not only has he captured one island after another, mined resources, and increased the number of undead, he has even found many relics on these islands, which naturally include a lot of good things.

The Holy See in the south also cooperated and launched a new round of war against the empire.

When the war begins, not only will new slaves be born, but also many corpses will be produced, and Wallon will also be able to gain many benefits from it.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

What Valon didn't expect was that he was not the only one eyeing the corpses of the war, but also the two Dreadlords who sneaked into the Vatican.

If possible, the two dreadlords would definitely delay the process as much as possible, but there was no other way. The superiors were urging them to do so, and the last failure made an abyss lord feel very embarrassed.

After that, he kept urging the Dreadlord to act as soon as possible, open the portal again, and let his army go in.

It was fine at the beginning, because the two dreadlords’ plan had just failed and all the materials they had prepared were used up, so they needed more time to prepare.

But as the two of them gained a foothold in the Vatican and replaced the position of an archbishop, they no longer had any excuse to refuse.

In order to shut up the Lord of the Abyss, the two Dreadlords had no choice but to agree, plan and promote the war.

The purpose is very simple, to use the bodies of those who died in this war as the basis to forge a flesh and blood portal, and then use the murderous aura and fear generated on the battlefield, plus the resentment of those who died in the war, and mix the three together to activate the portal.

Of course, this matter was later reported to Wallon.

The purpose of notifying Valon was very simple, which was to let him come back to make trouble. In return, the two dreadlords would not be taken at all from the Burning Legion that came out of the portal this time, and all the output would belong to Valon alone.

The materials left after the portal was dismantled also belonged to Valon.

It was for this reason that Valon agreed to cooperate with the Dreadlord's actions.

Time flies, and the war begins unsurprisingly under the impetus of the Dreadlord.

In order to kill more people in this war and to better control the situation on the battlefield, one of the dreadlords disguised as an archbishop personally went into battle, releasing magic and killing people indiscriminately.
