That's what I heard in the lord's guest room in Tunaya.
Around a day ago, Sotimi, a border town of the Silver Eagle Duchy showed signs of a large number of undead creatures, and the Brilliant White Church lost contact with the sacred corps sent to quell them.
After that, the border garrison sent a report of a surge in undead creatures and fell silent, assuming that the garrison had fallen to the undead.
The Brilliant White Church in Tunaya didn't have many sacred corps to begin with, and they were now in dire straits of manpower. Now, the archbishop of Tunaya's cathedral had formally requested aid from Horan, the duke of the Silver Eagle Duchy and Tunaya's castellan.
He was hoping that as a believer of the God of War and on good terms with the Temple of Glory, he could persuade the Temple of Glory's officiant so that the Temple's sacred corps — believers of Kratos, the God of War — could help clear out the undead.
But soon, the Temple of Glory's officiant, who had rushed to the castle, refused Horan's request. He even explained the Temple of Glory's current predicament.
In fact, the Temple of Glory wasn't faring too well.
It had happened around three days ago. A violent landslide had occurred at the Kristoff Mountains south of Tunaya, part of the Howling Corridor in the North, with mudslides drowning several villages at the foot of the mountains.
Survivors who worshipped Kratos rushed to Tunaya to report the situation to the Temple of Glory, which naturally didn't refuse, and sent their sacred corps to investigate the Kristoff Mountains.
However, all contact with the sacred corps who headed to the Kristoff Mountains was lost. The three-striped warrior who led them had sent a brief message to the Brilliant White Church through his sacred crest before he died, informing them that a massive monster that the sacred corps couldn't defeat had appeared at the Kristoff Mountains.
It was a zombie dragon.
Even if it had died and was reborn as an undead, it was still a dragon in the past!
Its breath could melt armor, and those who were killed by it would become its slaves. Even the most dangerous of monsters wouldn't dare to face its edge!
Now, Tunaya was caught between two calamities and was in a precarious situation. While some small, battle-savvy churches had tried to wipe out Sotimi's undead tide, all of them had failed.
Although you may not believe it, but judging from the current situation, all the other religions in the North have more or less suffered great losses. Their strength is diminished, and their combat ability is less than ten percent. So I think it's time.
Players who read this post, if you are willing to do your part for the Church of Games so that our brethren could walk openly under the sun without fear of being hunted, head to Tunaya's Silver Eagle Castle through the Lifestone!
I'll be waiting for you here!
The post wasn't long, and it wasn't written with much emotion. It basically explained what he had heard in the Silver Eagle Castle to the other Players, as well as stirring them up a little. Apart from that, there wasn't much else.
Vela and the other staunch supporters of Angora didn't hesitate at all, grabbing their weapons and teleporting to Tunaya.
On the other hand, the other players were hesitant.
If it was just an ordinary undead, there was nothing to be afraid of, but dragons were synonymous with the real meaning of the strong. Many children in this world grew up listening to the legends of giant dragons.
It would be difficult for them to face a dragon, even one that had risen from the dead, unprepared.
Furthermore, they had just defeated Nightcry, and the banquet was only halfway through. It would be a little uninspiring to run over and help.
"What's wrong?" The Elven Queen asked Marni, who had followed them out of curiosity about the humans' banquet and was seated in what appeared to be a VIP seat.
She couldn't see the Players' forum page, and naturally didn't know why the humans who had been having fun just a moment ago suddenly looked so serious. The atmosphere of the banquet turned heavy at once, with some of them even rising and leaving without looking back as if they were about to die.
She asked nervously, "Did we fail to entertain you?"
"No, we just received a message from another believer …"
Marni did a double take at that, unsure if he should tell her about the contents of the post.
Still, when he thought about it, he realized that the wood elves didn't seem to care about human affairs and couldn't be bothered to interfere. Even if he did say anything, the Elven Queen probably wouldn't leave the forest even if she did.
Hence, he told her about the main contents of Angora's post.
He didn't expect the Elven Queen to frown after some thought. "I might be overthinking, but this isn't as simple as it seems. You should be careful …"
"Is there a reason for that?"
Marni couldn't help feeling delighted at her words. It seems that he really got an idea from her.
"If the information you received is correct, the first place to have a problem should be the Chrisford Mountains three days ago. Then came the underground cavern seal, and then Sotimi's undead army … "
"Do you mean that the matter with the devils is related to Tunaya?" Marni asked thoughtfully.
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, you would realize that the Trinia Forests itself is under the jurisdiction of the Silver Eagle Duchy, or Tunaya City. It's just that you humans couldn't enter before. "
The Elven Queen nodded.
"But what does the order of awakening have to do with each other?" Marni asked.
"If I have to put it in words, it's probably 'from strong to weak'. Dragons are the strongest, which is why they were the first to awaken, followed by the supernatural devils, and then the undead of Sotimi … Although your information didn't mention what those undead were, Sotimi was once a place where humans killed Orks, and it's said that almost twenty thousand of them were buried alive. "The Elven Queen guessed.
"If I remember correctly, Sotimi used to be an unmarked graveyard. Not only were there Orks' corpses, but there were also corpses of human soldiers. Why are you so sure that it was the Orks who became undead and not humans? "Marni asked curiously.
"The reason is simple." The elven queen replied solemnly, one word after another, "Because dragons, devils, and orcs are part of the Original Eight Species that the Three Saints created together when they created the world from the First Era. You humans, on the other hand, are not the same. You are creatures that were born in this world in the Second Era out of the blue as if you had fallen from the sky."
She paused to give Marni time to digest the information that was an ancient mystery to humans with short lifespans, and continued after a moment. "On the other hand, if the undead transformation is really related to the First Eight Races, aside from the three calamities that have already erupted, five other undead races would have awakened …"
