Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

After reading the magic letter sent from the capital, Christine felt that King Louis was not easy either. The evil disaster had not yet passed, and something happened again in the Kingdom of France. In fact, there were a lot of things going on in various countries during this period, but she didn't pay much attention to it. However, if compared with King Emmanuel of the Apennine Kingdom, no one could compare to this great injustice who suffered a disaster from heaven.

The thing is, there is a Baron Messe in the Normandy County of the Kingdom of France. Because the territory is rich in iron ore resources, he has been providing the kingdom with preliminary refined iron ingots. Later, the forging industry emerged in Dragon Claw Town, which is now Stewart City, and Baron Messe also began to supply it.

After the demonic disaster broke out, small groups of demons were randomly transmitted to the mainland from the small cracks in space and destroyed everything. The iron mines in Baron Messe were not spared and were completely destroyed. In fact, even if the production could continue, the goods could not be shipped out because of the blocked roads. This was the result, which caused Baron Messer's income to drop off a cliff.

Now that the situation is stable, Baron Messe hurriedly summoned a group of slaves to rebuild the mines and resume production. In fact, the territory losses during the magic disaster were not small, and if there was no income, they would be so poor that they would have to sell the land.

From the mainland to the Isle of Spirits, the closest places are from the counties of Normandy and Calais, which are not only adjacent to each other but also on the sea. So here comes the question. There are passages connecting the Underdark to the surface world. Some passages have been blocked or fortresses built after being discovered by humans to prevent underground races from coming out to harm people. But there must be secret passages that have not been discovered.

The drow elves in the Underdark region send people to the Elf Island to hunt when they have nothing to do, so Normandy County and Calais County have the most secret passages. However, in order to keep it a secret, the drow rabbits did not eat grass near their nests and did not attack humans in these two counties, so the secret of the passage was never exposed.

Now Baron Messer not only wants to resume mine production, but also digs new mines to expand production. For him, iron ore costs nothing underground, and slaves cost almost nothing. The only transportation that costs a lot is still handled by the Tulip Chamber of Commerce. Isn't this equivalent to sitting at home counting money.

The counties of Brittany and Normandy are adjacent to each other. The Barony of Messe is to the west of Normandy and is not far from the city of Stewart. For the Tulip Merchant Guild, the profit from buying iron ingots from Messe for forging was not high, but the advantage was that most of the gold coins paid were used by Baron Messer to buy products from Stuart.

Something went wrong with the expansion of the iron mine, and a passage from the Underdark to the surface world was dug through by chance. The miners at the time didn't understand this, so they knew they had dug a bottomless hole, but it wasn't a big deal. After reporting it, the church would send people to investigate.

The distance between the Underdark and the surface is not like two rooms next to each other, which can be reached by just smashing a wall. Sometimes it is normal to walk through a passage for a day or even several days, and there is no time to deal with it. However, the person in charge of the mine did not take this situation seriously. Maybe he didn't know that there was a place like the Underdark underground.

So a month later, slaves began to disappear in the mine. Given the conditions of mining, not to mention getting lost and missing, even if they died of exhaustion on the spot, they were buried where they were. No one took this seriously.

The end result was a catastrophe, with countless undead creatures emerging from the ground, including but not limited to skeletons, zombies, ghouls, Boda corpses, giant skeletons, etc.

Most of the people living in the mine are slaves and a few overseers. If there are only skeletons and zombies, it can last for a while. After all, their fighting power is just that, but after adding ghouls and other undead creatures, it is different. Not to mention that they can't be blocked, they can't even run away.

Low-level undead creatures are afraid of the sun, so they are nocturnal, hiding in forests and other places that can avoid light during the day, and then march and attack at night. By the time the news reached Baron Messer's ears, more than a day had passed. By this time, the undead army had begun to attack the nearest village.

But after all, the demonic disaster has not passed yet, and there are still little devils wandering around occasionally, so no village has relaxed its vigilance. In addition, the walls were built, so the undead attacks were not only detected in advance but also temporarily blocked by the militia. But no one expected that the blocked undead creatures were just the vanguard. As soon as the large army arrived, the village fell immediately, and no one escaped in the dark night.

Baron Messer sent a knight with two hundred soldiers to clear out the undead creatures. It's not that he underestimated the enemy, but the people who came back to report only saw a few hundred undead creatures, mostly skeletons and zombies.

When they arrived at the attacked village, they found that all the people were dead. They knew something was wrong and immediately evacuated. However, halfway through the retreat, they were surrounded by thousands of undead creatures. The consequences could be imagined.

In fact, the village that was attacked was not this one. The undead creatures coming out of the passage rushed in all directions, and they would kill any living creatures they saw along the way.

Why such a large number of undead creatures emerged from the Underdark is unknown without investigation. However, in just a few days, the entire Barony of Messer was captured by the undead. Fortunately, everyone already had experience during the demonic disaster. In addition to being caught off guard in the early stage, everyone in the villages and towns was evacuated in the later stage. .

The refugees basically fled to the city of Caen to the north and the royal territory of the next county to the east. Because to the west is the Viscount of Carentan, which is near the sea. Once the Viscount cannot resist the undead creatures, there will be no place to escape. To the south is the Loire County, which has been ravaged by demons before. Who knows if you will starve to death on the way there.

The army of undead creatures chased behind these refugees. Most of them also marched towards the Earl of Caen in the north and the royal territory in the east. A small number of them wandered towards the Viscount of Carentan and the County of Loire.

The king wrote this letter to ask Christine to prepare in advance to defend against the attack of the undead. Of course, it would be best to send troops to eliminate it.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Although there is no longer an army of demons in Sardinia, there is a precedent of the Eternal City of the Apennine Kingdom being attacked. If the space rift is not closed for a day, the Kingdom of France will not dare to attack the troops stationed in coastal towns. Tune back.

As for dispatching soldiers from other places, there is no problem, but it will take time. The most important ones are the three major knights in the kingdom. The "Knights of Valois" almost wiped out all the knights above the fifth level in the decisive battle with the devil in Astillero City. The "Knights of Capet" want to garrison the coastal areas. Half of the "Knights of Lorraine" were defeated while intercepting the demons heading north in the southern part of the Kingdom of France, and the rest were left to defend the capital.

King Louis' current military strength is also stretched.
