deceased

The quaint city walls are immersed in the bleak night, forming a dark background.Hayden came riding a white horse, his blond hair flickered under the moonlight, like a warrior breaking through the darkness.

"Monica!"

Before the person arrives, the grudge arrives first!

Rhodes hurriedly summoned a witch corpse and an undead knight to block his attack.

The witch corpse was torn in half by the grudge, and the undead knight was shocked by the aftermath and stepped back two steps, stepping heavily on Rhode's foot.Rhodes shrank his feet in pain, and immediately used the earth escape technique to get into the soil.

"Are you okay?" Hayden jumped off the horse, put his arm around Mundra, and looked up and down nervously.

Mundra shook his head.

Hayden said: "There is a strong breath of undead here."

Mundra said: "There are three bad necromancers." Of course, Rhodes would not be counted in his arithmetic.

Hayden said, "Did Mundra bring you here?"

This sentence was heard by Mundra himself, and it was a bit weird.But he did drive himself here, so it's not wrong to ask.

Mundra nodded.

It is definitely not accidental that "Mundra" approached "Monica" repeatedly.The necromancer has always regarded life as dung, but he has never hurt "Monica". All kinds of special treatment have shown that "Monica" is definitely not just a girl who goes along with her in the mind of "Mundra" .Moreover, "Monica" has no scars on her body, and her mood is very stable, which shows that she did not struggle when "Mundra" took her away.

Hayden lowered his eyes, turned on his horse for a moment, then stretched out his hand to Mundra, his eyes slightly bent, showing his signature charming smile, "Do you want... come back with me?"

Mundra nodded without hesitation.

Hayden's smile deepened.He bent down and carried him onto the horse, with one arm around his waist and the other holding the rein, "Then let's go back."

Misty night.

Under the moonlight, two people were walking slowly on the white horse on the plain that was once occupied by countless skeletons.

Back in the city of Mar, Conrad and Rebecca had gone back to rest, replaced by George who had a good night's sleep.The two mercenary regiments each sent one person to stay behind.Hansen took the shocked Darren back to the hotel.After cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers also found a place to rest.

The city, which was still raging with war before, is now as quiet as a cradle.

"Marshal." Susan had been standing on the wall waiting for him, and was relieved when he came back safely, and quickly ran down the wall, "Are you alright?"

Hayden turned over and got off the horse, then hugged Mundra in his arms, "Thank you Miss Susan for your concern, we are all fine."

"Oh." Susan hesitated, "Then, are you going back to rest?"

Hayden returned the horse to the soldiers guarding the city gate, and then he turned around and replied, "Yes. I've been tired all day today, so you should go back and rest earlier."

Susan said: "Let's drop by, why don't we go together?"

Hayden smiled and said, "Of course. I am very honored." As he spoke, he felt his arms sink, and found that Mundra had used him as a pillow and fell asleep wheezingly.Reluctantly and amusedly, he took off his coat and wrapped it around him, then leaned over and hugged him.

Susan envied: "You two have such a good relationship."

Hayden said: "It would be even better if it could be better."

Susan lowered her head, "Are you planning to marry Miss Monica?"

Hayden was taken aback by the question, and subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, he changed it to, "We have never discussed this topic."

Susan said: "I have many sisters, and they often mention you. You are the youngest marshal of the empire and a reliable guardian. Ah, you must have heard this kind of thing a lot, right? I'm so boring."

Hayden said with a smile: "Even if I hear this kind of words 1000 million times, I won't be too many."

Susan turned her head sideways, her slightly upturned eyes were shining with gratitude and admiration, naked and without any concealment.

Hayden's eyes darkened, and he said softly: "You are not boring at all. You are brave and cute."

A cloud of fire flew up on Susan's left and right cheeks, "I, ah, you, thank you."

"Why did you come to the city of Mar?" Hayden paused, and then felt that this sentence was suspected of prying into privacy, and quickly added, "This place is far away from the emperor."

Susan said: "I just don't want to get too close to Van Riel. I prefer to learn magic from my teacher than social balls."

Hayden said: "You will become an excellent magician."

Susan was depressed, "My magical talent is not very good. Although my father and mother have thought of many ways for me, I know that I will never become a high-level magician in my life."

Hayden said: "A great magician is not necessarily a high-level magician, nor is he necessarily very magical, just like there are many great people in this world, but they are not necessarily magicians."

Susan paused and turned to look at him.

Hayden stopped cooperatively.

"You are such a gentle person." She clasped her hands on her chest, as if trying to resist the surging waves in her heart, "It's not at all what I imagined."

Hayden raised his eyebrows, "You imagined me to be a very fierce person?"

"No, of course not." Susan raised her head and said softly, "In your imagination, you are as handsome and brave as you are in reality, but you won't be as gentle as you are now. You will review the army with a sullen and majestic face."

Hayden smiled and said: "Because there is no charming lady like you in the army." After he finished speaking, he found the man in his arms moved, and then opened his eyes, which were clear and bright. How could he feel sleepy?Except for the few times we just met, he has always looked plain, less coquettish and more weak than when he was wearing makeup, especially when those black and white eyes are fixed on a person, It's like being coquettish silently.

Hayden looked at him, and something in his heart became inexplicably soft, and his voice lowered involuntarily, "Can't sleep?"

Mundella pulled the clothes on his body, then rubbed his face against his front, and complained: "It's so noisy."

Hayden winked at Susan mischievously, and smiled lightly, "Sorry."

Susan smiled unnaturally.

Mundra closed his eyes contentedly.

The two continued to walk forward.Although Hayden still walked slowly with Susan's footsteps, the silent street made the original sweetness in his heart dull.Susan suddenly felt angry and quickened her pace a little.

Hayden cooperated quietly.

It wasn't until she reached the door of the hotel that Susan felt a little annoyed.If only I could walk a little longer.Even if you don't speak, the atmosphere is very beautiful.

"Good night." Hayden whispered.

Susan showed a decent smile, not letting her disappointment show to others, "Good night, see you tomorrow."

Hayden was about to enter the hotel when he heard an apprentice magician hurrying across the street.Just as Susan was about to say hello, she was interrupted by his yelling, "There are necromancers... attacking!"

Susan was startled, "We came over from the city just now, it's very peaceful there."

The trainee magician desperately shook his head and pointed to the other side of the city with one hand.

Hayden thought of the group of people who ran away with tools on their backs, "Is it the group of people in the south of the city?"

The trainee magician nodded desperately, "The two teachers have already left..." What else did he say, Hayden was already holding Mundella and running towards where his fingers pointed.He reacted fairly quickly and followed immediately, but suddenly a person fell in front of him!

"what!"

After a long period of tension, the trainee magician finally found a way to vent—screaming at the top of his lungs.

Before Hansen landed on his feet, he was startled by the earth-shattering scream and his body shook. Fortunately, he quickly reacted after a long battle and used his fighting spirit. After several ups and downs, Susan and the trainee magician in front of the teacher.

The trainee magician stopped screaming hoarsely, and asked Susan in rough clothes, "Did someone fall from the top just now?"

Susan nodded dizzily, her head buzzing from his screams.

The trainee magician asked again: "Then, what about the corpse?"

Susan said casually, "Run away."

The trainee magician trembled all over, "Did the necromancer sneak in? Could that just be a witch corpse? Isn't the city very dangerous?" He babbled on and on, making Susan's dizzy head even heavier, and even I gave up the idea of ​​catching up, and just wanted to find a quiet place first.

Three wooden ladders that were only half a meter higher than the city wall were lying on the ground with the wounded and the dead in disorder.

The sky is getting brighter, revealing a silver-gray light.

Hayden and Hansen ran up the city wall, but they only saw a desolate and desolate outside the city wall, with no one inhabited.

Hayden jumped off the wall, found a casualty who was not seriously injured, and asked, "What happened?"

The man grabbed his hand and moaned, "Help me, save me."

Hansen snorted coldly: "Didn't you run away with high spirits before?"

The man's fingers were getting harder and harder, as if he wanted to vent all the pain on Hayden's wrist, and said: "Help me!" He grabbed so hard that Hayden's body leaned forward slightly.

Mundra opened his eyes uncomfortably.

Hayden flicked his hand away with grudge, and said to Hansen, "Go to the city and ask where there is a doctor."

"Yes." Hansen turned and ran towards the city.

Hayden let go of Mundra, half blocked him behind him, squatted down and looked at the man and said, "He went to the doctor, can you tell me what happened now?"

The man looked at him hesitantly, "How do I know if you're lying to me?"

Hayden said: "You have no choice."

The man's eyes flashed slyly.

"There is a priority for doctors to save people." Hayden made a gesture to get up, but the man hurriedly said, "I said! We came here before to leave the city of Mar. There are only three ladders, so we queue up to climb up." , I was the third from the bottom. When I climbed halfway, I heard screams outside, and it seemed that there were people screaming... screaming skeletons or something. The people on the top fell down in panic. I don't know what happened, I had no choice but to hug the wooden ladder tightly. Later, the ladder suddenly fell down, and I fell down with it..."

Hayden said, "Aren't there magicians among you?"

The man was surprised: "How do you know?"

"I am the questioner."

The man taunted: "They can fly, so they are at the end with their employers. But the situation was so chaotic later, they may have taken advantage of the chaos and escaped."

Hayden said, "Then did you meet any magicians from the Magic Guild?"

"Yes." The man said, "A trainee magician heard the sound and ran to the wall for a look, then ran away again. After a while, I saw the two magicians from the magic guild flying out of the city .”

Hayden said, "You know them?"

"Mage Rebecca and Mage Conrad." The man said, "There are very few people in Mar City who don't know about them."

"Then have they come back?"

The man shook his head and added: "I didn't see them, maybe they came from somewhere else."

Hayden frowned, "How long have they been away?"

The man said: "Probably, about ten minutes."

Hayden said, "Do you know who fell from above?"

The man looked around, pointed to a middle-aged man who was lying on the ground and barely had the strength to moan, and said, "He. He's on top of me."

Hayden walked over.The man shouted behind him: "You promised me, the doctor will see me first when he comes."

Hayden laughed and said, "I'll give him a hint. If the doctor doesn't understand, there's nothing I can do."

"You lied to me!"

Hayden ignored his yelling, came to the middle-aged man, looked at his injuries and said, "Shoulder is dislocated, leg is broken, and pelvis seems to be cracked..." He didn't say a word, the middle-aged man The man's face turned pale.

"It's not life-threatening at the moment," Hayden concluded.

The middle-aged man's face looked a little better.

"What the hell is going on outside?"

The middle-aged man opened his eyes wide, "A lot of skeletons, and, heck, armored knights with spears...they are killing wildly...just like killing pigs."

"Killed a lot of people?"

"Many, all of them died, those who went out in front... all died."

Hayden frowned slightly.If those people are dead, there should be corpses.Could it be said that the necromancer cleaned the battlefield?Paying attention to cleanliness like this is really not the style of a necromancer.Or, are these corpses useful to them?But he had seen escaped people before, most of them were grown men, nothing special.He asked again: "Where did the magicians in your team go?"

The eyes of the middle-aged man suddenly burst out with resentment, "They're gone! They just took us...as a scapegoat. As soon as they heard about undead, mages... they turned around and ran away. They said before that, protect us, protect us, it's all a lie Human."

Hayden asked about the whereabouts of Rebecca and Conrad again, but the result was the same.

Hansen broke in behind his back.He was still wearing a certain nightcap on his back, and he was still in a state of ignorance. It was not until Hansen put him down that he exclaimed: "A lot of dead people!"

Hansen said unhappily: "There are still many who are not dead. If you don't move quickly, they will become dead too."

The doctor rolled up his sleeves, "Where's the box?"

Hansen immediately handed over the medicine kit in his hand.

The slightly injured patient who had revealed a lot of news to Hayden before said loudly: "You promised me."

Hayden glanced at him and said to the doctor, "Do you want to consider the simplest rescue first?"

The doctor waved his hand and said, "Save the dying first."

The slightly injured person still looked at Hayden with resentful eyes.

Hayden smiled and took out a dagger, "If you want to jump in line, there is no way."

The slightly injured man obediently kept his mouth shut.

Hayden turned to Hansen and said, "Go to the Magic Guild and the city gate to see if Rebecca and Conrad are back."

Hansen didn't dare to hesitate, and turned around and ran towards the Magic Guild.

Hayden looked at Mundra who was staring blankly at the sky and said, "I'll take you back to the hotel first."

Mundella raised his finger and pointed to the east where the faint dawn appeared, tilted his head and said, "It's dawn."
