Chapter 732: Lord of the Undead
The Dead Lord Sudais is a great Death Knight. As one of the top five generals of the Undead Empire, he followed his monarch, the Undead Emperor Catherine, to fight south and north, and made great achievements. The Undead Empire is also becoming increasingly powerful. Under the leadership of Emperor Catherine, the territory continues to expand, and it has a vague meaning of catching up with the glory of Hosp, the greatest emperor in the history of the Undead Empire...
Unfortunately, things didn't go as expected. Just as the empire was about to develop further, Emperor Catherine suddenly disappeared. The reason is still unknown. He did not designate a successor before his disappearance. The five generals with military power were left. Naturally, no one of the five generals were convinced by each other, so they started fighting each other, and this battle lasted for four years.
During these four years, lords fought each other, and foreign forces began to encroach on the territory of the Undead Empire. The territory that Emperor Catherine had basically returned was returned. Not only that, even the territory that originally belonged to the Undead Empire was occupied by them, but at this time they were all busy with civil war and had no way to deal with these matters.
Of course, Sudais also participated in the civil war, but compared with the other four lords, Sudais' strength was slightly worse. His territory was small and his talents were not large, which made him unable to compete with the other four lords head-on, while the other four lords regarded it as fat. If the four people hadn't restrained each other, he would have been swallowed up long ago.
Sudais naturally didn't want to wait for death, so at the suggestion of his subordinates, he decided to take a risk and go deep into the interior of the human empire, a place called Death Valley, because it is surrounded by death. According to the epic of the Undead, this is the place where Emperor Hosp, the greatest emperor of the Undead Empire, appeared last. What should be the secret here?
Of course, Sudais naturally knew that the Water of Death is a thing. Although it has no effect on the undead race, it will still corrupt their **. Moreover, they cannot be discovered by the people of the Human Empire this time, otherwise they may be attacked by the Human Empire, which will be even more dangerous to be attacked by the Human Empire. So this time Sudais entered the Death Valley and brought 6 subordinates in total. The others were low-level zombie ghouls and zombie troops nearby.
After half a month of searching, Su Dais was disappointed that he did not find anything useful here. The Styx was really unable to get through because their ghouls or zombies were corroded when they went down. They didn't dare to go down, but there were some unexpected gains, such as they discovered the method of summoning zombies with poison attributes and ghouls.
However, this method is not very complete at this stage, and the theory still needs to be studied and practiced. There are basically no dead bodies in the Death Valley. Because they were corroded by poisonous fog, there were no bones left, and the dead bodies they brought were used up, so Su Dais and his subordinates discussed what to do.
Several of the subordinates suggested whether to go to nearby towns and see, because this place is originally a human territory. Find a hidden town or village and kill all the villagers and bring them back. The human empire may not be able to discover it for the time being. When they discovered it, the experiment here has been completed and people have left long ago.
Sudais was still considering the feasibility of this matter. Sudais suddenly heard footsteps, and Sudais immediately sent someone to check what was going on. As a result, he found a person wearing knight's armor who was fleeing (Lisa). At this time, the arrow was on the string, because if she asked her to go back to report, her whereabouts would be exposed. It was a very dangerous thing for him to go deep into the human world. Not to mention whether he could go back alive, even if he could go back alive, he might also cause the anger of the human empire and be attacked by the human army.
There was no way, Su Dais here could only start chasing with his people to see if he could kill all the insiders before they informed the empire.
The slower zombie Sudais couldn't take over. With six of his own subordinates and 17 fast ghouls, Sudais chased after the direction of the knight's escape. According to the map, the closest human town here should be a place called Mariana. Looking at the direction of the knight's escape, where should it be.
Soon they chased the town of Mariana, but they were slightly different from Sudice. What awaited them was not the Knights or human soldiers who were ready to fight. The town looked empty, as if there was nothing.
"Go to the teleportation point first." Although Su Dais here didn't know what was going on, he still checked whether the other party had already sent it back to report the message, so that he could deal with it.
As a result, when they arrived at the teleportation point, they encountered a situation they had never expected. The teleportation point was silent, and a large number of civilians died at the door. Inside the teleportation point, all the staff members died on the ground. Not only that, there were also more than a dozen church knights' bodies.
"Lord, what's going on?" Tiank, the adjutant here, asked Sudais inexplicably.
"..." Sudais didn't know how to answer. He couldn't imagine what happened here. Who killed these church knights? After thinking about it, Sudais here ordered, "Search separately and see where the townspeople have gone."
The subordinates soon began to search separately. His subordinates had three necromancers, and they were now using the corpses of the townsmen to summon skeletons to fight. Because there was no time now, they could only summon the simplest skeleton soldiers. If they had time, they would also make zombies or ghouls. They had not moved the corpses of several knights for the time being, because these were all good materials, and at the worst they could make several ghouls. If they were lucky, they might even be able to create a Death Knight.
Just as they started searching, a sudden burst of rapid bell rang, which immediately attracted Su Daisi and the others' attention.
"Lord, it is a wake-up call for humanity. It seems that the other party has discovered us." Tiank, the adjutant here, said immediately.
"Everyone, come with me." Su Dais here immediately said. There was nothing he could do now, he could only find a way to kill all the witnesses, otherwise he would be in danger.
Following the bell, they began to dare to go to the square. As a result, they found many gathering people from the town. At this time, the townsmen had just gathered over and several people were conveying Lisa's order, that is, to gather at the west gate of the town to prepare for retreat.
"It's the undead's troops!" Seeing Sudais appear here, several townsmen immediately shouted.
"It's indeed the undead troops. The undead troops rushed over, everyone, run away." The townsmen here naturally could not confront the undead troops. As soon as they saw this, they immediately started running west, and there were knights from the church there.
"Lord, there are many corpses here, what's going on? Who is slaughtering human civilians here?" Seeing several corpses in the square, the adjutant here asked strangely.
"I can't care about so many things, follow me first!" Su Daisi on this side said, "The primary goal now is to kill all the witnesses. The staff of the teleportation array don't know who was killed. In this case, no one should have reported the news. As long as all the people here are killed, his whereabouts should not be exposed, so Su Daisi on this side felt a little bit of life, so he naturally had to hurry up.
With his own troops, Sudais immediately chased in the direction of the crowd. Sudais rode a death war horse and took the lead in chopping down several slow-running women and old men.
"Lord, there are so many people on the other side. We don't have enough manpower, so we may not be able to chase and kill them." The adjutant Tiank rushed to Sudais and said.
"Clog them before they leave the city, trap them all in the city, and follow me to chase after you!" Su Dais said immediately.
Unfortunately, most of the townsmen used their strength that they could not normally exert when they were running away. The speed of escape was scary. Su Dais chased after him and found that he had reached the gate to the west of the town. At this time, most of the townsmen were rushing out of the town. If they went out, they would be scattered around and ran around, and they would not be able to stop them.
"What should I do!" Su Dais here was anxious and wanted to go up and kill them all immediately, but it was too late.
Just when Su Daisi was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, a magical scene suddenly appeared. All the townsmen who were rushing out suddenly began to vomit blood wildly. Just when Su Daisi didn't know what was going on, everyone fell to the ground. Su Daisi, who was already very familiar with the corpse, immediately felt a breath of death coming to his face. All of these townsmen were dead?
"Tutmos, the God of Death, is definitely the God of Death," Su Daisy had no idea what was going on, but this situation could only be said to be blessed by the gods.
"Lord, look!" While Sudais was preparing to pray, the adjutant next to him suddenly pointed forward and said. Sudais immediately looked forward and saw a human standing among the corpses of hundreds of townsmen. Compared with the corpses around him, this person was really conspicuous.
"Lord, behind him!" The adjutant Tiank suddenly widened his eyes and said.
"What!" Su Dais here also discovered the thing behind this human being, the black cross, this thing felt like...
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly the black sword behind him flashed and a figure flew out. Su Dais was shocked because he had seen this figure in many places, such as epic portraits of the undead, hero sculptures, or artworks.
"This...this is impossible!" Sudais shouted. (To be continued...)
