Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

Chapter 338 The undead are raging (2)

As the scale of the undead expanded, Knight Liam had to change his plan and send troops to garrison in three villages including Weir Village. Although this plan would slightly extend the supply line, it was nothing to the Stewart-led army with a large number of horse-drawn carriages. The benefits are extremely obvious, because these three villages all belong to Baron Messe, and they are fighting on other people's territory.

After receiving the report from the investigation team of the Church of God of Order, King Louis of the Kingdom of France and the Pope of the Church of God of Order began to establish a relationship to obtain relevant information about the Underdark Region.

According to preliminary statistics, there are already nearly 10,000 undead creatures pouring into the surface world from the passage. It is impossible for such a number of undead to be born out of thin air, and it is impossible for them to remain unnoticed no matter where they are. It is best to find the source of these undead creatures and find a way to solve them. Even if you can't find them, you still need to get an approximate number of them to facilitate the next step.

In the end, it was the elves who provided information about these undead creatures. After all, they were the most concerned about the drow.

When the Dark Elf Hermanai Patriarch led the city's elite to cooperate with demons, they attacked the city of Astilero in the Cantabrian Half-Elf Territory, hoping to win the favor of the Spider Goddess Rose by sacrificing elves and half-elves. Promoted to the demigod level. In the end, she fell into the conspiracy of the legendary demon Benjamin. Not only were all her men killed by the demon's blood sacrifice, but she was also killed.

If the Hemanai patriarch can be promoted to the semi-god level, it won't matter even if all his subordinates die. But now that she has failed, the city she rules has naturally become the prey of other forces. A city with almost no high-end military protection is a delicious cake that everyone wants to take a bite of.

Just as various forces were mobilizing their troops, a man named Valdis Leininger, who believed in the legend of "Lord of Lies" Cyric, took the lead and used a magic circle and an artifact to destroy all living creatures in the entire city. Became undead.

A considerable number of Cyric's followers inherited from the three gods of death, and they themselves have been crazy for a while, so it is normal for people who believe in him to do such crazy things.

The environment in the Underdark is very suitable for undead creatures. These undead souls will exist for a long time. Now the surrounding forces have changed from being ready to take action to everyone being in danger.

They wanted to launch an attack for wealth and slaves. Now that the wealth was captured by Valdis Leininger and the population had become undead, it became meaningless to launch an attack. Not only that, but he was also worried that the opponent would drive the undead creatures to attack his city, because even if he blocked the opponent's attack in the end, he would get nothing but casualties of soldiers.

Valdis Leininger seemed to be performing some kind of ritual, and he left after it was over. But a large number of undead creatures were left behind, like a powder keg that could explode at any time. The surrounding forces all have the strength to eliminate all the undead alone, but no one is willing to do such a thankless task. As for alliance, that is absolutely impossible.

Finally, a wise man came up with a way. Isn't there a passage to the surface world next to the city? He could introduce these undead creatures into the passage and let them harm the people in the surface world.

This method has won the unanimous consent of all forces, because each force is trying to find ways to lure these undead creatures to other people's cities, and to prevent others from luring them to their own cities. I won’t go into the specific details. In short, the undead creatures were lured away, and the area was temporarily peaceful.

To put it simply, the Underdark is like underground caves connected by passages. Some caves can hold a city, and some caves can only hold a village or dozens or hundreds of people. The connecting passages are large enough for dragons to fly, but small enough for cavemen to crawl through. Moreover, large caves have several or more than a dozen passages extending in all directions, and passages may also be connected to each other.

So the passage to the surface is just one of many upwards, and there are countless side roads in the first few kilometers. It's just that there are fewer forks as you go up the back. After the undead creatures are led here, even if they don't go to the surface, they can't go back. The final outcome is to get lost in countless forks and exhaust their energy and turn into corpses.

Then Baron Messer was lucky enough to win the lottery. While mining, he dug a passage and released these undead creatures.

King Louis and the Pope, the God of Order, had a headache when they got the news. According to the information from the elves, at least tens of thousands of people have been turned into undead creatures. This is only the population of the city, not counting the larger number of slaves. Preliminary estimates put the number of these undead creatures at close to 60,000 to 70,000, and it would be difficult to deal with them even if most of them were skeletons and zombies.

Normandy County faces the sea on both sides, adjoining the Stewart Territory to the south and the Royal Capital Territory to the east. If the Earl of Caen and the Viscount Carentan cannot resist, the undead army will definitely come from these two directions in the end.

If they had not experienced the demonic disaster, the royal army could easily destroy these undead creatures. Even after suffering huge losses, it would not be a problem to deal with these undead creatures if it were not for the inability to mobilize the army of demons defending the southern coast of the kingdom.

The reality is that the king has the obligation to protect the kingdom from invasion by foreign enemies, so King Louis must send troops to rescue the city of Caen, and it must be as soon as possible.

But he really had no mobile troops. In this case, he had to ask the nobles below for help. For a feudal kingdom, this is not a shame. It is equivalent to the chairman and largest shareholder asking for help from the second or third largest shareholder. It is for the overall benefit of the company (kingdom).

So the hereditary honorary count Hartmann Segura came to the city of Dominaria as King Louis' special envoy.

After some routine aristocratic politeness, the hereditary honorary count of Segura took out a letter and said: "Your Majesty, this is a personal letter from His Majesty the King to you."

After receiving the letter forwarded by Elena, Kristine read it carefully. The content of the letter is to hope that Christine can provide help and send troops to eliminate the undead in Normandy County as soon as possible. King Louis promised to give a large sum of money as the price of sending troops.

The king's face still had to be given, but she could strive for more rewards, so she said: "Count Segura, I am not short of gold coins. If His Majesty the King agrees to exchange the rewards for cattle and horses of equal value, among which If the war horse is not less than one-tenth, I will agree. It will be based on the exchange price before the magic disaster."

"I will report this to His Majesty."

Cattle and horses are important strategic materials. During the disaster, both the military and civilians lost a lot, and the price naturally increased a lot. If the previous exchange price will cost one-third more, this must be decided by His Majesty the King.
