Chapter 153 Hoover's Call

According to incomplete statistics, in the serious stampede incident that occurred when the Skeleton Lord Thunderstorm first formally met with humans in the eastern suburbs of Hanover, more than 300 people were killed or injured.

However, no one blamed the tragedy on the thunderstorm. On the contrary, humans in Hanover agreed that the skeleton lord, the thunderstorm, was not only not scary, but also amiable and came with peace and sincerity.

This is the charm of money, which can turn the devil into a saint!

Therefore, in the subsequent entry ceremony, although Lei only said two short sentences, he welcomed the enduring cheers and applause of humans in the city.

Lei stood on the high platform and shouted to a group of humans who were excited because they had just grabbed the gold coins: "Skeletons are not your enemies, we should be friends!"

These two sentences are enough, because all humans have fallen to their knees and shouted long live the Thunderstorm Emperor!

Then, King Imadnagur I made a lie and enthusiastic speech, and he fabricated a beautiful story that described the thunderstorm as a hero among undead creatures.

Imadnagur specifically stated that the Skeleton Legion entered Hannovi not to invade human territory or slaughter humans, but to rescue humans in the Hannovi area from the dark rule of the Church of Light.

Skeletons have gentle temperaments. If humans do not actively attack skeletons, they will not actively attack humans.

More importantly, skeletons do not need food, drink water, wear clothes, and enjoy the luxurious life of human beings. They are just a group of disciplined soldiers.

Therefore, the emergence of skeletons will not compete with humans for survival resources, but will instead provide humans with a large amount of labor that does not eat and strong armed protection.

If the king had said this before, no one would have believed it, but on this occasion, it would have been recognized by mankind immediately.

Because these skeletons were indeed as kind as the king said to them, and were not as terrible and cruel as the legend had.

More than a thousand golden skeletons not only threw millions of gold coins, but also many golden skeletons were pushed down by crowds during the crazy snatch, and some were even injured, but none of the skeleton warriors had attacked humans for this.

There was even a golden skeleton who was about to be trampled to death by the crowd. The baby's parents were so grateful that they appeared and said that the golden skeleton was indeed cute.

Although all this was deliberately made by Lei for everyone to see, kind humans cannot tell.

Kind humans have only one belief: whoever gives them money is a good person, whoever saves their son is their benefactor!

After Imad's speech ended, Ray and Hoover were hugged and walked into Hanover, and the northern suburbs of Hanover became the stage of the Goddess of Nature.

Cynthia seized the opportunity to explain the emergence of the Skeleton Legion at the height of religion.

According to the teachings of the Goddess of Nature, any living creature has two ways of existence, one is physical and the other is soul.

Human beings belong to physical beings, while undead creatures belong to soul beings. Both beings are arranged by the goddess of nature and should be respected.

Every human in the human world may become an undead after his death. If he does not respect the undead creatures during his lifetime, he will be despised by others after his death, and even in the undead world.

Therefore, the necromancer of the Goddess of the Nature Sect summons undead creatures to help fight in battles. They treat undead creatures with an equal attitude towards all beings in the battle. Humans should understand and accept it.

The Church of Light completely betrays this natural law. They despise the dead and do not respect the undead, so they cannot respect humans. Therefore, they are cults and should be eradicated.

Cynthia and dozens of senior figures of the Nature Goddess Cult gave speeches on the outskirts of the city, passionate and very seductive. Many residents immediately expressed their willingness to join the Nature Goddess Cult.

Outside the city, it is as lively as a festival, but inside the city, in the palace of Imad, the atmosphere is a bit depressing.

For the ceremony of enthroning the princess today, the Orcs leader Morip rushed back from the southern front and also brought some external news.

The Church of Light has issued a jihad mobilization order, ordering all eleven southern principalities to send troops, each principality to send 20,000 elite troops, the Kingdom of Rohan to send 80,000 soldiers, plus 10,000 members of the Church of Light and 40,000 members of the Knights of the Church of Light, a huge army of nearly 400,000 people will appear on the border of Hanover in the near future.

Such a legion is equivalent to half of the humans in the Hanover area, and it is all well-trained armies. With the assistance of the four great magicians and the twelve great sword masters, it means to eradicate Hanover from the Light Continent in one fell swoop.

The enemy soldiers were approaching, and Hannovi was not ready for battle.

Humans are no longer reliable. The number of humans in the Hanover area is too small, and most of them are the elderly, weak, women and children who have not moved are the elderly, weak, and even if they are all recruited, they will not be able to form a decent combat power.

The Orc tribe is a powerful support team, but the Orcs have the worries of Orcs. For thousands of years, they have been afraid of being beaten by humans and must leave enough troops to defend the Beca Valley. Most of the 100,000 orc troops who drove over in advance have gone south to control the Balotel area, and the less than 20,000 orc warriors left in Hannovi.

After the Battle of Hukou Pass, Lei could see that the Goddess Cult naturally was not of great use. After all, they were a religious organization, not a military organization. They were keen on spreading religious beliefs, but they did not have much strength to fight.

However, Cynthia performed well in the Battle of Hukou Pass and was a competent commander.

More importantly, the giant magic teleportation array created by Deya in the Hannovi Iron Mine area was not very smooth, because it lacked many necessary magic materials, and it would take at least one month for the magic array to activate all functions.

Early this morning, in order to teleport a thousand golden skeletons, the magic circle was activated on a small scale, resulting in structural disorder. The golden skeleton returned to the abandoned land within more than two hours after its appearance.

"The future attacks cannot be concentrated in Hukou Pass, and they may be in all directions." Morip's war for many years was not optimistic about the current situation: "The Kingdom of Hannovi is divided into two regions, Hannovi and Balotel. Hannovi is mainly composed of mountains and hills, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The disadvantages are the roads and difficult to operate in the army. The Balotel area is a plain with well-connected traffic. If a decisive battle is launched, we are likely to be surrounded by the enemy."

Morip was right, everyone was at a loss for it.

Suddenly, Brent stepped forward and said, "Master, I suggest giving up Balotel, and all the Orcs retreat to defend Hannovi."

"Why?" Imad first expressed his objection: "It was finally robbed of the Balotel area, and how many orc brothers were killed and injured, and we cannot give up easily!"

Brent ignored Imad, but drew a circle on the Hanover map and said, "Master, even if the magic teleportation array is successfully built, our skeleton legion can only move in this area. No matter how far the distance is, it will exceed the summoning time limit and the army will not be able to reach it."

The circle drawn by Brent is an area centered on Hannovi iron ore and has a radius of about 80 kilometers.

The Skeleton Legion can stay in the human world for at most twenty-four hours, so eighty kilometers are their combat limit. If the distance is too far, either they cannot reach it or they don’t have much time to fight after they arrive.

"We have retracted the army and launched harassment wars with this prototype area as the core, and lured the main force of the coalition forces to move closer to this area." As a soldier for thousands of years, Brent's insights are very reasonable: "One hundred thousand orc warriors can last for a month. By that time, the magic circle should be successfully built, and the enemy's army will be trapped in the ocean of millions of skeleton warriors."

Liehuo beat the wolf-toothed stick, smashed a piece of floor tiles, and said, "Yes, after annihilation of these 400,000 enemies, our soldiers can drive straight in and occupy wherever they want. Those bastards of the Light Church will probably not be so easy to gather a huge army again."

"Then take advantage of the victory and destroy the Great Temple of Light, and the master can enthrone me as the King of Skeleton Dragon Horse." Mu Fasha was a man who fell down and immediately echoed: "Long live the master, long live the Thunderstorm Emperor, unify the Continent of Light and turn the Continent of Light into the Continent of Skeleton!"

"Occupy the entire human world? You dream!" Deya glared at Mufasha: "Can the Skeleton Legion run so far? I can't build teleportation arrays around the world, and we can't find so many magical materials. As long as the enemy knows our weaknesses, they will not attack us, but will strengthen the walls and clear the fields, making Hanover a wilderness. What's the point of us being king here?"

It is so difficult to build a giant magic teleportation array, let alone build magic teleportation arrays everywhere on the Continent of Light.

"Only by relying on the power of religion can we gain a foothold in the human world." Lei stood up and stopped everyone's argument and ordered: "Go outside the city gate and call Cynthia."

"Brother Thunderstorm." Kuva suddenly broke in, grabbed Lei's right hand and walked out the door: "Did you forget what day it is today? Sister Hoover has been waiting for you in the bedroom for a long time."
