"What? Can you f * cking say that again? "Li Huailin looked at Su Daisi in shock in the palace of Gloom City.
"We don't have a Sage-level Necromancer among the undead." Soudeis repeated himself again, but this time, his voice was softer because Li Huailin's tone was not very good.
"What's going on? There isn't even a Sage-level Necromancer in the entire undead race? What's the point of this? "Li Huailin said." Are you f * cking kidding me? "
"No, Your Highness, listen to me," Soudeis said hurriedly.
This matter was too long, so Soudeis briefly explained to Li Huailin what was going on. First of all, the undead here had always had a bad system. In Li Huailin's words, this system emphasized military power and despised civil power. Almost all the lords of the undead were warrior generals. Only Matthew was considered a civil official, while the others had served as generals in the army.
The system of the undead was a bit strange to begin with. The status of a lord in a country was very strange. Even though the lord was obviously a person with real power, he was still stationed in a region and held both military and political power at the same time. If he wanted to rebel, he could casually do so. Therefore, in the mainstream values of the undead, being a general was much better than being a civil official. Those who had a little bit of strength would definitely choose the path of a general. As for mages … their status in the undead was really not high. In the end, the best they could do was become a civil official in the palace. Basically, there was no situation where they were given control of a region.
As a result, the talented and powerful people basically became generals, which meant that they became military officers. The rest of the undead who became Necromancers were basically people who had no talent for combat. In fact, there used to be high-level Necromancers among the undead. After all, there were people who had no talent for combat at all, but their talent as mages was unimaginably high, and there was more than one of them. Why did they disappear now? That was because of the Hoppes Empire a hundred years ago.
A hundred years ago, during the reign of the Hoppes Empire, there were countless Necromancers, not to mention generals. There were also more than one Sage-level Necromancer. Just the number of Sage-level Necromancers had already reached three. Of course, there must be more that were not announced. Of course, these military secrets could not be fully disclosed.
However, everyone knew what happened to the Hoppes Empire. The undead thought that he suddenly disappeared. Li Huailin knew that he was killed by Tutelos, but no matter what, he was dead. In the end, the Allied Forces won. The undead, who had lost a key figure, naturally lost the war.
The result of the defeat was very huge. The land that was seized was returned, and the empire's territory was divided among the various races. At that time, the undead's territory was only a quarter of the size before the uprising of the Hoppes Empire. The rest was divided among the various races. The current land was slowly taken back by the undead after a hundred years. The size of the land was still not as big as before the uprising of the Hoppes Empire.
The matter of territory was temporarily ignored. Of course, the various races still had to punish the undead in the name of destroying and threatening the peace of the continent. At that time, there were radicals who wanted to directly eliminate the undead. However, in reality, it was not very possible. Moreover, the Allied Forces had always been in the name of justice. Exterminating a race was a little too … unsightly.
So, in the end, everyone came up with a very vicious plan. The undead could not reproduce naturally. Ordinary people would not become undead after they died. The only way to increase the population was to use necromancy magic to resurrect corpses.
So, the Allied Forces came up with a solution to deal with the necromancers. To put it simply, it was to sterilize the undead. This was a vicious plan. If the necromancers were wiped out, the remaining undead would naturally be eliminated. Then, the fate of the undead would be the same as the undead.
The Allied Forces were prepared to directly eliminate the necromancers. However, in reality, it was impossible. How could they completely wipe out the undead? If they really wanted to do it, how long would it take to completely wipe out the undead? In the end, the result of the discussion was to take a step back and eliminate all the high-level necromancers.
There were two conditions for the strength of the undead resurrected by the Undead Resurrection Magic. One was the strength of the corpse itself. If it was a relatively powerful person when it was alive, the resurrected undead would naturally be powerful. The other was the strength of the necromancers themselves. Low-level necromancers would only be resurrected undead of the lowest level. They did not have the ability to deal with high-level corpses. In this way, the Allied Forces would work together to eliminate all the powerful necromancers. Even if the remaining low-level necromancers existed, they would not be a threat. This was indeed very vicious, but very effective.
In fact, until a hundred years later, the undead here were still suffering. Now that a hundred years had passed, there were still necromancers at the Warlock Saint level. In the previous battle, although Li Huailin had resurrected many soldiers with the necromancers, those were only the corpses of soldiers. A perfect resurrection would only have the strength of a soldier. This was also because Li Huailin's halo had become stronger. Without the halo, he was no different from an ordinary soldier. As for the high-level soldiers, they had never appeared because there were no high-level necromancers.
"Understood." After understanding the whole situation, Li Huailin nodded in understanding. It turned out that this was the mess that Hoppes had left for him. In the end, it was Thutmos' doing. He had jumped out at the critical moment to snatch the sword, causing Hoppes' death and the undead's defeat.
However, after listening to Soudeis's explanation, Li Huailin also understood one thing. In the past hundred years, other races had also encountered some problems. They had also become weaker. A hundred years ago, the undead had so many necromancers at the Warlock Saint level. Humans and Demons were still able to withstand the undead's attacks until the appearance of the divine sword. This showed that other races also had many sage-level necromancers at that time. Now, it seemed that the situation was not that great. Sure enough, without competition, everyone had become lazy. Without the threat of the undead, all the races had become weaker after a hundred years. This was a very normal thing.
However, it was useless to know this. What Li Huailin needed now was a necromancers at the Warlock Saint level. Otherwise, what would he do with his bone dragon? He couldn't possibly keep it in the bank.
"Are there really no more necromancers at the Warlock Saint level on our side? For example, the necromancers that escaped a disaster a hundred years ago and then went into seclusion? "Li Huailin asked after thinking for a while.
"I don't know either." Soudeis said, "There might be, but I haven't received any similar news on my side."
"Damn it." Li Huailin waved his hand. What he said was also possible. Of course, there might be a hidden mission to find a necromancers at the Warlock Saint level. However, he couldn't accept such a mission now. When would he be able to find one? What annoyed Li Huailin the most was waiting.
"It is possible to advance to the Warlock Saint level." Li Huailin asked, "Don't we have any necromancers who are about to advance to the Warlock Saint level?"
"In fact … Lord Mattheon is now a necromancer at the Archmage level, and he is only one step away from the Warlock Saint level," Soudeis said.
"Oh?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. Mattheon was really a talent. He was a Guru-level engineer, a Master-level metallurgist, and an Archmage-level necromancer. He was simply an all-rounder. After thinking about it, Li Huailin asked, "Doesn't that mean that he will soon advance to the Warlock Saint level?"
"No, Your Highness." Soudeis immediately said, "Although the Archmage level is only one step away from the Warlock Saint level, this step is simply harder than ascending to heaven."
"…" Li Huailin was speechless.
"The cultivation of a mage is the same as that of a warrior. The higher the level, the more difficult it is. Even if Lord Mattheon continues to cultivate, he may be stuck at the position of an Archmage forever," Soudeis said.
"I understand." Li Huailin held his forehead. "Anyway … I will issue an order first, saying that I need a necromancer at the Warlock Saint level. Then, I will ask everyone to help me look for him or provide any clues. Of course, it is best to sign up directly. You can say that if you sign up now, you will be conferred the title of Highlord."
"Conferred the title of Highlord, this …" Soudeis was shocked. The matter of conferring the title of a mage was …
However, just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Li Huailin with a wave of his hand. "Alright, don't talk nonsense with me. I know what you want to say, but I just like it."
"…" Soudeis was speechless. Li Huailin was so determined, and there was nothing he could do. After all, Li Huailin was the Lord of the Undead.
"But waiting like this is not a solution … Is there a way to conjure a Warlock Saint …?" Li Huailin was still thinking about what to do. However, just as he was talking about conjuring, he suddenly had an idea. "Wait, Soudeis …"
"Yes, Your Highness." Soudeis was still thinking about the follow-up of the previous order. This was definitely going to cause a big storm. However, when he heard Li Huailin calling him, he immediately returned to his senses and replied.
"We don't have a Warlock Saint here, but other races still have Warlock Saints, right?" Li Huailin suddenly said with a smile. A confident smile once again appeared on his face.
"Of course, a Warlock Saint is a strategic figure. Of course, other countries also have Warlock Saints," Soudeis replied.
"Well, well … That's good, that's good," Li Huailin said with a smile.
For some reason, when he saw Li Huailin's smile, Soudeis subconsciously felt that someone was going to be unlucky again.
