The city of Mordor fell into a state of alert.
Anyone with unknown origins was strictly interrogated, and all ships and merchants entering and leaving the port were strictly restricted. Basically, under the orders of Søren, the city of Mordor gave up almost 70% of its trade. Søren was now basically planning to interrupt most of the trade to resist the last two waves of the Avatar Crisis. And now Mordor had such strength under his accumulation. The wealth from Treasure Island made up for the consumption of Mordor's money. The minerals from the bottomless abyss made up for the consumption of Mordor's materials. At the same time, he also had some supplies from the Githyankis and the Fomites. There was no problem in maintaining the consumption of Mordor for a year or two.
At present, the only food supply that limited the population of Mordor was now self-sufficient. Therefore, Søren decided to implement a management plan of a comprehensive blockade of Mordor.
Now Mordor was basically in a state of seclusion. While constantly receiving the population of the south coast, it also gave up trading with other forces. The signs of the undead disaster had become more and more serious. Several lurking necromancers had been found in the inquisition of Mordor. What made Søren obviously uneasy was that the wizard's organization specializing in necromancy seemed to have been recruited by the undead kings.
What was even worse was that!
Søren's church actually found a very small number of very special wizards from it.
It was the inquisition of the Shadow Church who found them, but because the other party was a wizard, Gloria also sent a witch to check it out. After seeing it, the witch was shocked and immediately told the news to Gloria. Then Gloria went to see it in person and was also surprised to send the news to Søren.
At this moment.
Søren had come to the inquisition at the back of the temple. Then he saw a few very conspicuous big bald heads, as well as rune tattoos on their necks, backs of their heads, chests, and other parts.
Red Robe Wizards!
They were a group of people who were very easy to recognize because these people liked to wear red robes, all shaved heads, and had very obvious tattoos on their bodies.
The organization of the Red Robe Wizards had existed in the material plane for thousands of years. They were one of the representatives of the evil wizards. They had once disappeared from the material plane, but no one expected them to appear in Mordor City at this moment! The Red Robe Sorcerers Association was a very evil sorcerer organization. Because of this, they were once brutally suppressed by the Arcane Empire. After that, the Red Robe Sorcerers disappeared in the Arcane Calamity. Even now, no trace of them could be found.
"Where did they come from?"
Søren frowned as he looked at the red-robed wizards in front of him. Their bald heads were a little dazzling, so he asked the Drow Rogue who was in charge of the interrogation.
There were only a few drows in Mordor, and most of them were in charge of special tasks. The one in front of him was an expert in torture in the Underdark. He knelt down on one knee and said to Søren, "My lord! They said that they came from the lower planes, a large half-plane between the Shadow Plane and the Spiritual Realm, very close to the Gray Wilderness where the undead live! "
Other planes?
As expected!
The Red Robe Sorcerers Association did not disappear, but some of them escaped to other planes.
Søren glanced at the big bald heads in front of him and reached out to pick up the face of one of the female wizards. Inside the Red Robe Sorcerers Association, both men and women, would shave their heads bald in the later stages, so that they could engrave runes on them. Søren's eyes shone with the brilliance of divinity, and he directly used his magic to seize the other party's consciousness.
Most of the time, women's will was weaker than men's, and they were easier to control.
"Tell me."
Søren's figure seemed to have a trace of magical power, full of endless temptation. He said in a deep voice, "When did you return to the material plane? How many of you are there? How big is your Demiplane? How many members are there in the Red Robe Sorcerers Association? "
The expression of the red-robed witch became blank, and she seemed to have a trace of dementia. After hearing Søren's words, she replied honestly, "We returned to the material plane half a month ago. We sent more than 30 people in this operation. Our plane is about the size of a southern kingdom. The Red Robe Sorcerers Association currently has more than 300 official wizards! "
A centipede dies but never falls down.
Torre's Red Robe Sorcerers Association was once a great enemy of the material plane's peace. Their organization's origin was special because the Red Robe Sorcerers were separated from their homeland by a group of Mulhorandi Sorcerers. They created a country ruled by Sorcerers instead of God Kings (this was Mulhorandi's way of rule. Mulhorandi's divine system was similar to the Egyptian divine system). These Sorcerers eventually formed the government structure of Torre, and they fought against their neighbors intermittently for several centuries. However, due to the disputes between the various factions of the organization, their plans were often disrupted.
The origin of the Red Robe Sorcerers came from the gods of another world, and this divine system seemed to be gradually dying out like the other divine systems in the desert. (Note: Similar to the Crocodile God and the Goddess of Wealth and Death in the desert.)
The existence of the gods was not completely eternal.
Especially when the gods of another world invaded other worlds, it was very likely that they would be attacked by the native gods, and it could lead to the other divine systems joining forces. The number of seats in the Pantheon Temple represented the number of gods, and many of the empty seats were the ones that fell in the struggle between the divine systems.
"Huh?"
Søren seemed to have noticed something. He reached out and looked at the tattoo near the chest of the witch in front of him and said, "You're all Necromancers?"
The witch in front of him was already mentally controlled by Søren, and she said in a dull voice, "Yes. The Red Robe Sorcerers Association's strongest faction is the Necromancers, and 80% of the Sorcerers are Necromancers. The other factions have long been divided and died out in the past. "
As expected!
No wonder the Red Robe Sorcerers were mixed up with the Undead Lords. There were some very famous and powerful Liches in the Red Robe Sorcerers Association!
It was obvious.
The other factions in the Red Robe Sorcerers Association were almost wiped out in the past, and the only one that survived was the Necromancers. This faction had the most Liches, and they had all kinds of ways to escape death.
Søren was silent.
After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Who sent you?"
The witch said in a dull voice, "The Undying, Oro! He promised us that after the plan was successful, he would give us a kingdom in the material plane, and restore the Red Robe Sorcerers Association's rule over the kingdom! "
The Undying, Oro!?
Søren's expression changed after hearing this, and his expression became very serious.
This was a very powerful Lich, and it could even be said that he was one of the strongest Liches to date! He was also the mastermind behind the Undead Calamity, and the most terrifying Undead Lord!
This was a Lich that had existed since the Nesser Era.
He was also one of the Sorcerers with the highest level! Oro used to live in the Endless Caverns under the Supreme Forest, and his goal was to hunt the noble races. He had already made a name for himself during the Nesser Era, and began to study the mysteries of death.
At that time, Oro was still an immortal mortal.
But during the [Year of the Broken Magic Net], another Nesser Sorcerer, Karthus, tried to seize the power of the Goddess of Magic, which led to the collapse of the Magic Net and directly destroyed the Nesser Era. The entire Nesser Empire lost its source of magic, and the ancient Nesser Sorcerers died one after another. Oro's Undead Legion was directly destroyed, and the collapse of the Magic Net triggered a spell on his body. He didn't die because of it, but he was transformed into a terrifying Lich.
That's right!
This was an ancient Lich that had existed since the first Goddess of Magic.
Oro [Undying] [Demigod Lich] (Level 15 Mage, Level 5 Great Mage, Level 10 Legend, Level 5 Nesser Arcanist)!
These were Oro's stats on the surface.
He had a special legendary class that was still unknown to the outside world. As for his strength, it was even more impossible to know because over the long years, he had gathered countless Undead Army under his command, and there were also many Liches working for him.
This ancient Nesser Remnant had always been trying to restore the Empire.
There were very few records about him, and it could only be confirmed that this terrifying Lich had become one of the Undead Lords, and had always been hiding in the lower planes near the Underworld.
"Are you all ready to move out?"
Søren frowned and waved his hand: "Leave this Witch, and get rid of the others."
After saying that, Søren turned and left the temple. He looked up at the dark night sky, and his sight seemed to cross the plane. He murmured: "The first Undead Lord has appeared. Then, the Queen of the Githyankis and the Deatheye Tyrant should also appear soon, right? "
The Undead Calamity wasn't just an attack planned by human Liches.
There were also traces of other Undead behind this. It wasn't just the Undead transformed by humans, but also the Undead transformed by other races.
Moreover, one of the masterminds was the Queen of the Githyankis, a terrifying existence with a challenge rating of 28 and above.
[Lich Queen] Valakis!
The real Queen who had ruled the Githyankis for thousands of years, and she was also the Queen who had been in power for the longest time.
This terrifying monster ruled the Githyankis with high pressure, and she absorbed the essence of the Githyankis who were level 11 and above. Then, in the middle of the Arcane Empire, she was defeated in the war between the Githyankis and the Great Arcanists.
But the Lich Queen didn't really die.
She had been hiding in a corner of the multiverse, waiting for the opportunity to regain everything! (Note: This was a plane war that broke out in the middle of the Arcane Empire. In order to develop the resources of the Astral World, the seven floating cities of the Arcane Empire were teleported to the Astral World and launched a war against the Lich Queen who ruled the Githyankis.)
Søren moved forward in silence.
The accumulated power of the Undead was very terrifying, and it wasn't much weaker than demons and devils. Without the suppression of the Clergy of Death, it was difficult to predict the later stage of the Undead Calamity.
After all, there were no more three million paladins supporting the world!
