Chapter 63 Aftermath of the Undead

Everything seems to be more than a thousand years ago, that A replay of the ending of Tide of the Dead on the Rotten Moon is average. The ceremony main body of Eternal Gift was destroyed, and the continuously necromantic magic power that led from the Star Realm to the world was cut off.

It’s just that this time ended too soon, and the crisis was resolved by unforeseen factors while it was still in its infancy.

The corpses of the overwhelming majority deep in the cemetery haven’t even been awakened, and some may have just trembled slightly in their finger bones before returning to eternal silence.

But that doesn’t mean the crisis is completely over.

Those corpses who have been awakened and ignited by Soul Fire will not be silent, they will continue to wander aimlessly in this land until the magic power that surrounds them is completely consumed. do.

Without the influence of external forces, this process can be as little as about a year, or as many as ten years.

And the unbound dead will instinctively attack the living, so it can be expected that the great cemetery of Thorn City will become a dangerous forbidden place for a long time to come.

Of course, the premise is that if it is handed over to the current Rose Palace government to handle it itself.

The Holy Spirit Church’s influence in the Blackwater Province hit a low point during Duke Simon’s reign, and Thorn City now has only two churches open.

The funeral chapel of the seventh Holy Spirit “dead” was closed under pressure from the Duke more than a decade ago on the grounds that it did not conform to the traditions of ancestor worship in the Blackwater Province.

A search all over Thorn City now probably won’t find twenty baptized Requiem masters.

Relying on them to appease the undead who have been awakened is an utterly inadequate measure.

even more how

Although the walls of the cemetery are strong enough, and the [pacify the undead] and [life barrier] spells inscribed on them are worthy of the huge amount of Elementium Silver resources they consume, they did not wake those up.

The undead destroyed the walls of the necropolis.

But there are still a certain number of undead groups that piled up high walls and climbed out of the cemetery.

And this “certain number” is relative to the total number of tens of millions of dead bodies in the cemetery.

So to be specific, about fifty thousand undead broke through the obstruction of the cemetery, and instinctively marched towards Thorn City, which is not far from Life Aura.

Fifty thousand tireless souls, ignoring life and death, longing for the flesh and blood of the living.

“Let the scouts go out of the city and notify all villages near Thorn City to be aware of the scattered small undead clusters, and then have the Blackguard of Thorns to strengthen the security of those villages.”

“Evacuate the city along the way. All the people of the mills, stables, and caravans outside, let them all withdraw to Thorn City for safety, and let the Magic Swordsman troops ensure the safety of the road.”

“Have you contacted the gravekeeper? No? Then keep in touch. They are equipped with a demon-blocking rune that shields the undead, and they won’t be wiped out so quickly. Let them place a space beacon when they get in touch.”

“Notify everyone in the Mage Hall. The War Mage will gather at the North Gate within ten minutes, yes, it’s just a notice, no orders.”

The secretary, who was constantly in charge of recording the orders, was brow beaded with sweat and interrupted Vincent who was constantly giving orders. special.

“Master Vincent, should we wait for Lord Duke Simon to come back and discuss with him first, especially regarding the transfer of Magic Swordsman troops and the Black Guard of Thorns, Lord Duke has always been very careful. …”

Vincent, as Simon’s chief advisor and leader of the Mage’s Hall, is indeed procedurally able to temporarily exercise power on Duke Simon’s behalf when he is away. But it would be a bit too much for him to send orders to the guards, scouts, Black Guards of Thorns, Magic Swordsman, Grave Keepers, and the Hall of Mage at the same time.

Although it is indeed in an emergency situation, the city defense facilities of Thorn City are actually very complete. There are only tens of thousands of undead without brains. As long as the suspension bridge is raised and the city gate is closed, it is enough to kill them. Block out. And when they are hopeless for a long time, they will naturally spread out to find other living beings.

In contrast, if he really followed Vincent’s orders, when the time comes Duke Simon comes back, he can’t explain it here.

But Vincent just glanced at him, then said lightly:

“You just have to follow my orders, and no one will bother you with this afterwards. “

The electric light flashing in the eyes of the well-known “Sage of Scorched Scar” caused the secretary to sweat coldly, and he could only vote by oneself.

Won’t anyone get in trouble? is it possible? Even if the order was correct, the duke would agree with it afterwards, but could it be the same as ordering it in person and ordering it over him?

This is terrible… When the duke comes back, I guess I will get out of my bed completely and be sent to a mine as a supervisor.

But then again, where did Duke Simon go, at this juncture, the whole Rose Palace can’t find anyone else, it’s really dying…

“Also, help me contact the Holy Spirit. Dewey taught Hall Master, let him also…”

Ignoring the tangled expression on the other’s face, Vincent continued.

“No need to notify, I’m already here.”

A mellow voice came from outside the door.

A middle-aged man walked in outside the hall. He was dressed in a gray coarse cloth robe and had a golden seven-pointed star on his chest. After seeing Vincent, he nodded slightly, and Vincent also Same return.

“Do you have any clues about what’s going on at the moment? The news I received here is that the wave of undead has broken through from the cemetery. It’s just like…”

Without politeness and greetings, bishop asked directly.

Vincent didn’t say anything, but first waved for the clerk to step back, and when he was far away, he said:

“Yes, you guessed it right, Tide of the Rotten Moon.”

“So, what about Duke Simon?”

This statement from bishop is more of a confirmation than a question.

“It’s already under Holy Tomb.”

A cold female voice came from the side, and bishop turned her head to see a tall, golden-haired woman from the maid next to her. The room came out.

She was dressed in a Rose Palace maid’s garb with a silver icon of Kane on her chest, and her expression was utterly indifferent.

“Nezmaar? But how is that possible, you shouldn’t be going now…what’s up with your outfit?”

bishop asked in surprise.

“That’s not me, I was locked up in the Nightmare Swamp a month ago, and I’ve been living in a sticky nightmare all this time, spit… disgusting.”

Nezmaar said and held the silver Kane icon on her chest, which seemed to be her subconsciously habitual movement.

Bishop’s eyes turned to Vincent again.

“Someone rescued her from the Nightmare Swamp, and the one you contacted before was the Moon Realm monster pretending to be.”

Vincent replied.

“Who? Who has the ability to go to Moon Realm to save people?”

bishop asked suspiciously.

After this question was asked, Nezmaar held the Kane icon in his hand even harder, and Vincent said with a look of awe:

“One you won’t. The name you believe in.”
