The Queen of the Netherworld stopped teasing Zhao Manyan and told Mofan in a serious tone, "You've come at the right time. The Ancient Capital might seem peaceful now, but to be honest with you, since the King left, a huge number of undead have become restless. They are planning to invade during the next Red Moon to strengthen their kingdom of undead," the Queen of the Netherworld stopped teasing Zhao Manyan and told Mofan in a serious tone.
"Can't the Eight Undead Rulers control the undead?" Mofan asked curiously.
The Eight Undead Rulers were under the King's command. Each of them was a fierce general of the undead, especially the Mountain Zombie, who was on the same level as the Black Totem Snake. Did any little undead dare to disobey the Mountain Zombie's order?
"It's almost dead," said the Queen of the Netherworld.
"What's going on?" Mofan frowned.
How could the Mountain Zombie die?
So many experts had tried to hunt it down in the past, yet it was perfectly fine in the end.
"During the War of the Underworld, we initially had a great advantage. We could basically claim the Underworld as the new world for the undead of the Ancient Capital, but after the King was killed by Khufu and Michael, the undead of Egypt reclaimed the Underworld. The undead of the Ancient Capital were no match for Khufu, so we had no choice but to retreat to the Ancient Capital and Beijiang.
"The undead rely on the aura of death to survive. In the past, with the king around and the new world of the Underworld to reclaim, they naturally did not disturb the living in the Ancient Capital and the Northern Frontier. However, now that the Underworld is no longer stable, and the population of the Ancient Capital and the Northern Frontier has greatly increased, everyone is starving. Some new factions have appeared one after another and started to attack the villages."
"These new factions must be led by a living dead with a brain. They have disguised many places as traces of wild beasts and demon creatures. The Red Skull and I have taken a look …"
The Queen of the Netherworld explained the current situation of the undead to Mofan.
There was only one reason: the King was gone!
Before the King was gone, the undead of the Ancient Capital would roam around the city and attack at night.
After the King was gone, the expansion of the human territory reduced the number of undead's habitat. On top of that, the battlefield of the Underworld was occupied by Khufu and the undead of Egypt. As a result, the conflict between the residents of the Ancient Capital and the undead of the Ancient Capital was once again.
"And there's another very important question. The natives of the Ancient Capital and the Northern Frontier follow the old rules. They won't destroy the tombs, sacred lands, or dead swamps for no reason. They still respect the undead, but when a large number of Migrants arrived, they didn't follow the rules at all. They excavated and destroyed everything crazily. Many of the old undead who followed the king's orders complained and secretly joined the new factions. "
"The Ancient Capital's undead are expanding. I'm just a weak woman without the support of a king, so I can't suppress them. Plus, Da Shan is seriously injured and on the verge of death. I believe that it won't be long before the Ancient Capital's undead will be overthrown, and the era of us eight Undead Monarchs will fall."
The Queen of the Netherworld's words clearly indicated that the situation at the Ancient Capital wasn't as optimistic as it seemed.
As a matter of fact, it was not just the Ancient Capital that was affected. Every region in the country was facing a huge threat. In the past, there had been many battles between humans and demon beasts. Due to the extreme cold and the rising sea level, the living space between humans and demon beasts was greatly reduced, causing the battles between humans and demon beasts to become even more frequent. Tens of thousands of corpses would be left behind just for the sake of a warm valley …
Humans were driven inland by the sea demons, and the demons felt that humans were invading their territory.
Currently, the territory of the undead in the Ancient Capital was seriously being invaded.
The eight Undead Monarchs and a huge army of undead were following the Ancient King's orders. They were competing with the undead of Egypt for the Underworld, resulting in great losses.
The Mountain Zombie was on the verge of dying after being avenged by the Sphinx in the recent battle.
The eight Undead Monarchs were heavily injured. They were destined to withdraw from the stage of leading the undead. The new undead were growing stronger day by day, and had great designs on the humans that were within their reach.
As such, a new battle was about to take place close to the Ancient Capital. Perhaps the Ancient Capital was going to return to a few years ago, when no one was out at night.
"To be frank, it's not easy for everyone," Mofan let out a sigh.
Without an Undead Emperor, the order was going to be disrupted.
Perhaps the temporary peace was only due to the addition of an Undead Emperor. Once the Undead Emperor left, everything would go back to square one.
Many people in the east had misunderstood the Ancient Capital. They assumed it was the best place for them to rest and recuperate since there was no threat from the demon beasts. Little did they know, another war was about to break out.
"Is there any way to solve the problem?" Mofan asked.
"No, it's just going back to square one," the Queen of the Netherworld said.
"Alright, I'll remind Han Ji," Mofan said.
"Why don't I kill you and make you the new Emperor?" the Queen of the Netherworld asked.
"Why don't I just eliminate the undead instead?" Mofan snapped.
"That's true. But even if the undead are wiped out, there's still the Qinling Winged Beasts. If the Qinling Winged Beasts are dead, there's still the Kunlun Demon Kingdom … remember to remind the leaders of the humans not to provoke the Kunlun Demon Kingdom just because of the sea monsters. The Kunlun Demon Kingdom will eliminate humans faster than the sea monsters, "the Queen of the Netherworld reminded Mofan kindly.
"What is it? Is the Kunlun Demon Kingdom that strong?" Mofan raised his brows.
"If the Kunlun Mountain Range is close to the sea, the sea monsters will behave themselves," the Queen of the Netherworld said.
Mofan was astounded.
In Mofan's mind, the Kunlun Demon Kingdom was on the same level as the Kingdom of Undead, but the Queen of the Netherworld was implying that the Kunlun Demon Kingdom was stronger than the Kingdom of Undead, so strong that even the sea monsters were afraid of them …
He would have to have a chat with Chairman Shao Zheng later. Hopefully, they were not planning to invade the Kunlun Demon Kingdom.
…
Mofan did not waste any time. He immediately told Han Ji what the Queen of the Netherworld had told him.
Han Ji was still the President of the Ancient Capital's Magic Association. He had to report the incident to the Ancient Capital and prepare the necessary precautions.
Han Ji was quite decisive. He immediately gathered the Violet Forbidden Magicians and the Violet Imperial Battalion. According to the Queen of the Netherworld's information, they were planning to strike first and eliminate the "new faction" of the undead.
That being said, they could not afford to let the migrants claim the land of the undead as they pleased. They could not afford to touch the Land of the Undead. Otherwise, a bigger war would break out …
The undead were different from other demon creatures. They were not truly extinct. The land had been the same for thousands of years. It was impossible for life to not die. Where there was death, there would be undead.
The Kingdom of Undead was still in a weakened state. The people were able to rest peacefully for now, but the undead would eventually grow stronger. A war was inevitable.
Han Ji was only trying to delay the war, so the people who were facing the threat of the sea monsters would have some time to catch their breaths.
But how long could the situation last?
Dusk loomed over the place. Night was approaching. Deep cries of hunger were coming from the uneven black soil!
