Undead Lord Soudeis was a great Death Knight. As one of the top five generals of the Undead Empire, he followed his lord, Undead Emperor Carcery, to the north and south. He made great achievements in the war, and the Undead Empire grew stronger day by day. Under the leadership of Carcery, the Undead Empire's territory continued to expand. It seemed that the Undead Empire was about to catch up to the glory of the greatest Emperor in the history of the Undead Empire, Hosp.
Unfortunately, things didn't go according to the Undead Empire's wishes. Just as the Undead Empire was about to expand, Emperor Carcery suddenly disappeared. The reason for his disappearance was still unknown. Before he disappeared, he didn't appoint a successor, leaving only five generals with military power. Naturally, none of them were willing to submit to the other, so they began to fight each other. This fight lasted for four years.
During these four years, the lords fought each other, and foreign forces began to invade the Undead Empire's territory. The territories that Emperor Carcery conquered were basically returned. Not only that, but the territories that originally belonged to the Undead Empire were also occupied by them. However, at this time, they were busy with the civil war, so they didn't have the time to care about these things.
Of course, Soudeis also participated in the civil war. However, compared to the other four lords, Soudeis's strength was slightly weaker. His territory was small, and he didn't have many people. As a result, he couldn't compete with the other four lords. On the other hand, the other four lords treated him as a fat piece of meat. If it weren't for the four of them restraining each other, he would have been swallowed long ago.
Naturally, Soudeis didn't want to wait for death. So, under the suggestion of his subordinates, he decided to take the risk and entered the depths of the Human Empire. This place was called Death Valley. It was a place surrounded by death energy. According to the Undead Epic, this was the last place the Undead Empire's greatest Emperor, Hosp, appeared. There must be some secret in this place.
Of course, Soudeis also knew about the Water of Death. Although it didn't have the effect of killing the Undead, it would still corrode their bodies. Moreover, they couldn't be discovered by the Human Empire this time. Otherwise, they might be attacked by the Human Empire. This way, it would be even more dangerous. Therefore, this time, Soudeis entered Death Valley with a total of six subordinates. The rest were low-level ghouls and zombies that he found nearby.
After searching for half a month, Soudeis was disappointed that he didn't find anything useless. They couldn't cross the River Styx because their ghouls and zombies would be corroded if they went down. They didn't dare to go down themselves. However, there were some unexpected gains. For example, they found a way to summon zombies and ghouls with poison attributes.
This method wasn't very complete at this stage. They still needed to research. They still. There were no corpses in and Valley. They had. Death in of the of Empire of the Dead, and by, and by, and Valley. Dead by Valley, and Dead Empire, and Devils. Dead, King, Valley, of Of Dead, King, and, and King, and King of King, Valley, and Died, by, Lord, Dead, and.,
A few of King's subordinates suggested that they go to a nearby town to take a look. After all, this was the territory of the Human Empire. They could find a hidden town or village, kill all the villagers, and bring them back. Perhaps the Human Empire wouldn't find them for the time being. By the time they found out, the experiment would have been over and they would have left.
While Soudeis was still thinking about the feasibility of this matter, he suddenly heard footsteps. Soudeis immediately sent people to see what was going on. As a result, they found a person wearing knight armor running away (it was Lisa). At this time, the arrow on the bowstring had to be fired. If Lisa went back to report, his whereabouts would be exposed. It was very dangerous for him to go deep into the territory of the Human Empire. Let's not talk about whether he could return alive. Even if he could, he might incur the wrath of the Human Empire and be attacked by the Human Empire.
With no other choice, Soudeis could only lead his people to chase after the Knight. He wanted to see if he could kill all the people who knew about this before they notified the Empire.
Soudeis couldn't bring the slower zombies with him, so he brought six of his subordinates and 17 of the faster ghouls. Then, Soudeis chased after the Knight. According to the map, the nearest human town should be a place called Mariana. Looking at the direction the Knight was running in, it should be that place.
Very quickly, they arrived at Mariana. However, it was slightly different from what Soudeis had imagined. What awaited them wasn't a group of knights or human soldiers who were ready for battle. The town was empty, as if there was no one there.
"Let's go to the teleportation point first." Although Soudeis didn't know what was going on, he still wanted to see if the Knight had sent a message back so that he could respond.
As a result, when they arrived at the teleportation point, they encountered an unexpected situation. The teleportation point was dead. A large number of civilians were dead at the entrance, and inside the teleportation point, all the staff were dead on the ground. Not only that, but there were also the corpses of a dozen Church Knights.
"My lord, what's going on?" Adjutant Anker asked Soudeis with a puzzled expression.
"…" Soudeis didn't know how to answer. He couldn't imagine what had happened. Who killed these Church Knights? After some thought, Soudeis ordered, "Split up and search. See where the townspeople went."
His subordinates quickly split up to search. There were three Necromancers under his command, and they were currently using the corpses of the townspeople to summon skeletons to do battle. Since they didn't have much time, they could only summon the simplest skeleton soldiers. If they had the time, they could also make zombies or ghouls. They didn't touch the corpses of the knights for now because they were all good materials. At the very least, they could make a few ghouls. If they were lucky, they might even make a Death Knight.
Just as they began to search, a series of urgent bells rang out, immediately attracting the attention of Su Daisi and the others.
"My lord, it's the humans' alarm bell. It seems like they've discovered us." Adjutant Anker immediately said.
"Everyone, follow me quickly." Soudeis immediately said. They had no other choice but to think of a way to kill all the witnesses. Otherwise, they would be in danger.
Following the bell, they began to move towards the direction of the square. As expected, there were a lot of human townspeople gathered there. At this time, the townspeople had just gathered. A few of them were passing on Lisa's order, which was to gather at the west gate of the town and prepare to retreat.
"It's the undead army!" Seeing Soudeis appear, a few townspeople immediately shouted.
"It really is the undead army. The undead army is charging over. Everyone, run!" Naturally, the townspeople couldn't fight the undead army. As soon as they saw the situation, they immediately began to run towards the west. There were also the Church Knights there.
"My lord, there are so many corpses here too. What's going on? Who is slaughtering human civilians here?" Seeing the corpses on the square, the adjutant asked curiously.
"I don't care so much, follow me!" Soudeis waved his hand and said. Their main goal now was to kill all the witnesses. They didn't even know who killed the staff of the teleportation circle. In this case, there shouldn't be anyone reporting to them. As long as they killed everyone here, their whereabouts should not be exposed. Therefore, Soudeis felt that there was a chance of survival, so he naturally had to seize it.
Leading his troops, Soudeis immediately chased in the direction of the crowd. Soudeis rode the Deathcharger, cutting down a few women and elderly who were running too slowly.
"My lord, there are so many of them. We don't have enough manpower, we might not be able to kill them all." Adjutant Anker rushed to Soudeis's side and said.
"Stop them before they leave the town. Trap them in the town, hurry up and follow me!" Soudeis said immediately.
Unfortunately, most of the townspeople were using strength that they normally wouldn't be able to use. Their speed was simply terrifying. Su Daisi chased after them and found that they had already reached the west gate of the town. At this time, most of the townspeople were rushing out of the town. Once they got out, they would scatter in all directions, and they wouldn't be able to stop them at all.
"What should we do!?" Soudeis was anxious. He wanted to kill them all immediately, but it was too late.
Just as Soudeis was panicking, a miraculous scene appeared. The townspeople that were rushing out of the town suddenly started vomiting blood. Just as Soudeis had no idea what was going on, everyone fell to the ground. Soudeis and the others were very familiar with corpses, and they immediately felt the smell of death. These townspeople were all dead?
"God of Death, Totemos, this is definitely a god of death …" Soudeis had no idea what was going on, but he could only say that it was a blessing from the gods.
Just as Soudeis was about to pray, the adjutant suddenly pointed forward and said, "My lord, look!" Soudeis immediately looked forward and saw a human standing in the middle of a few hundred corpses of the townspeople. Compared to the corpses on the ground, this person was very obvious.
Adjutant Anker suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "My lord, behind him!"
"What!" Soudeis also realized that the human was carrying something on his back. It was a black cross. It felt like …
As he was thinking, the black sword on his back suddenly flashed, and a figure flew out. Soudeis was shocked. He had seen this figure in many places, such as epic portraits of the undead, heroic statues, and artwork.
"This … this is impossible!" Soudeis yelled.
