After the Battle of Grantham, Nethergarde, who had traveled extensively and fought, set up camp in this fortress and garrisoned it with the Revenge. Choosing a more passive defense method with greater casualties is not because Gonzalez is timid or lacks strategy, but because he knows that the day of a decisive battle with the undead is coming. The commander of the undead empire, the first lord, and the marshal of the four legions, the lich known as the 'Lich King' has officially returned. "Compared to the invisibility behind the scenes of death, frost is the biggest enemy of mankind. The defeat of the Northern Campaign, the rapid decline of the Silver Empire, and even the fall of Longyan Castle all had its shadow. The Archduke of Belfast and the Commander of the Revenge Army both issued strict orders not to leak any information before the war officially started. Incoming and outgoing business travelers must be strictly inspected, not only to prevent water and food contamination, but also to prevent anyone from gossiping and disturbing the morale of the military. However, when the news that Link, the Son of Nature, was missing in Southern Flame Continent reached Grantham, Gonzalez, who had always remained calm, finally lost his composure and activated a magical message that would never be used unless there was any major matter. The chief priest of the new capital Ayden asked for confirmation. Knowing what the young archduke, who was guarding the frontline against the undead, wanted to ask, the chief priest did not hide it, and frankly told him that the rumors about Link's disappearance were indeed true. After hearing the testimony of the leader of the Dawn Sect with his own ears, Gonzales clenched his hands hanging by his sides. "I don't believe it." Francesca has a good impression of Gonzalez, who has just taken over as the supreme commander of Watchfort. To be able to become close friends with Link, he must be a person with good character. The ruling class of the Silver Empire, from the nobility to the officials, was in a state of decay. After experiencing the rebellion of the Twelve Territories and the Northern Campaign, the Kolk family, which finally had royal blood, fell again. The only one who could stand on the stage and take into account both blood and blood. status. There is only this one Compared to other idiots who only consider their own interests, Francesca is more willing to support Gonzalez, who has been fighting on the front line against the undead all year round. He was of noble birth, hereditary prince, and what the people wanted. What he lacked was Chen Xi's recognition. certainly. The final showdown with the Undead Empire has not yet begun, and it is still unknown whether Gonzalez can survive the crucial decisive battle that will determine humanity and even all living things. It's too early to think about the future now. Do you want to tell him the truth? After only a brief moment of hesitation, Francesca rejected it. No. Before the situation becomes clear, before Link takes the initiative to show up, everyone is suspected, everyone may be incited to rebel, and everyone may be the second Shuanghan, but he cannot. Don't take any chances. "The deputy captain of the Dawn Knights saw it with his own eyes. There is no lie. As for the reason, I can't make a conclusion." The answer from the chief priest disappointed Gonzalez. He turned off the magic transmission and went to both the dormitory and the Pacing back and forth in the study room. Half a month ago, the spider web broke the news that Link, the son of nature from another world, left his body in Nanyan Continent, and the whereabouts of his soul are still unknown. Regarding this rumor. Gonzalez resisted instinctively. Although the understanding of the Children of Nature is far less in-depth than that of Dawn or other temples, one thing is for sure - it can make Link lose control of his body without any defense. Only gods can do that. Either Hicks, the god of death, is an enemy, or he is the first generation of pillar gods. ??Whether it was annihilated or perished, Gonzalez was extremely sad that Link had such an ending. Not only because they are compatriots who came from the same place, but also because he appreciates Link's persistence. Knowing that there are thorns ahead and an impossible task, we still head on. ¡° He knew that that boy¡¯s character would bring disaster to him sooner or later, so why didn¡¯t he warn him more He didn¡¯t know. Don¡¯t you know either? If you choose to let him take a chance because of the situation that you have no control over, how can you think of yourself as a friend? When his eyes fell on the huge map hanging on the wall, Gonzalez waved his hand and swept away the objects on the table beside him. The sound of ping-pong-pang-pang-pang alerted the guards standing guard outside the door. They hurriedly went inside to check, only to see the Grand Duke resting his hands on the table. He lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly. Seeing this scene, the guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do. The consul, who happened to be looking for something, came to their rescue. "Exposing emotions is not the behavior of a person in power." Gonzalez raised his head, his expression was unprecedentedly gloomy. Abigail subconsciously looked away, roughly understanding why he lost control. The disappearance of the Son of Nature has already spread throughout the continent through spider webs. Even if the God of Shadows switches sides and joins an alliance, he doesn't change much. His behavior is still the same as before. No one is surprised that he almost betrays his allies. This is what happens when you seek skin from a tiger, Abigail.?I don¡¯t know whether to be worried or happy. From a personal point of view, Link who signed the contract is dead. He is no longer restricted and no longer has to tie his hands and feet. As long as Gonzalez is eliminated, he will be the true ruler of Belfast and no longer needs to be subordinate to a young boy. . From a righteous perspective, the Children of Nature are an indispensable part of the fight against the Immortal Empire. Especially, he is also a fate-weaver. Although Gonzalez is also a fateweaver, in terms of strength and importance, Son of Nature is obviously better. Gonzalez¡¯s greatest influence is that he is the most powerful contender for the throne among the remaining nobles. Butthat's all. If the war with the undead is lost, the entire continent will become a dead place under the iron heel of the undead empire, and there will be no shelter for living creatures. For no reason, he remembered the fragment of the contract he made a few months ago. At that time, I was full of resentment. I never expected that a stupid boy who knew nothing and was basically a flower in the greenhouse would be able to pull the goddess Lorelei off the throne. He never imagined that his aunt, who he was so proud of and whose family relied on, would be so proud of Lin. If you overcome it, you will lose your position as a sage. Since the magic god's throne has been changed to mine, my aunt has also sent a magical secret message. You must not break the oath you made with the son of nature in a moment of anger. Link has obtained the qualification to become an incarnation, and the backlash from violating the contract is extraordinary and cannot be resisted by a high-level mage like him. Within a few months, news came from Xindu that the Kolke family had colluded with the devil and was deposed as regent by the Dawn Sect. Abigail felt that her hope of killing Gonzalez and ascending to the throne was getting slimmer. With such a friend as a backer, if Gonzalez is not the only oneeven if he spends all his family's efforts, he can't do it. Just when he was about to give up and help the man who might become the new ruler of the Silver Empire in the future, the situation once again took an unexpected turn. Gonzalez's greatest life-saving talisman, Link, the son of nature, disappeared unexpectedly for unknown reasons. , life and death are unknown. The unquenched ambition reignited again, more violently than before, burning Abigail almost to the point of losing her mind. The creak of the wooden door opening sounded, Abigail and Gonzalez turned their heads at the same time, and saw Black, the leader of the Revenge Corps, walking in with a solemn expression. "The traveling businessmen came to report that the neighboring floating city of Bisar has not contacted them for a long time. Even if they have different political opinions, the people in the city always need to eat. There has been no purchase for a month. Something is wrong." "Finally, we took action. Is it" Gonzalez was not too surprised by this, and he immediately connected the undead's actions with Link's disappearance. The floating cities that ascended to the sky were not attacked by the undead because of the assistance of Hohenheim. Now, Hohenheim has made his position clear. Of course, the Undead Empire cannot let them go, and it is reasonable that they will be attacked. Shuanghan, who had been sitting still until his return, finally took action. During this period, the low-level undead wandering in the wild disappeared without a trace, and it was as calm as before the rise of the undead. On the front line, the Revenge Army and Watchfort, which have been fighting the undead all year round, are not happy. They only feel that this is the calm before the storm. "The Immortal Empire probably heard the rumors as well." Blake nodded, he also considered this. The Avengers suffered heavy casualties in the last siege, and the Watch Castle also suffered heavy casualties. The total number of people was not as high as before. If Shuanghan, who had no restrictions, took the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, it would be impossible for their current defenders to withstand the undead again. A siege. In order to resist the war that may break out at any time, the Dawn Sect has sent most of its elites, including the Dawn Knights, to the front line. Even so, it cannot stop the army of the Undead Empire. Every time a living person is lost, there will be more undead. A new soldier, this is what ordinary people fear the most. After all, there are only a few highly skilled warriors and magic mages, and most of the soldiers stationed on the front lines are just ordinary people. Gonzalez sighed. Whether as a friend or an ally, Link's disappearance is an immeasurable loss to the Anti-Undead Alliance. "What are your plans? Send a flying team to check?" Abigail asked. He is the consul of Belfast, the second-ranking figure after the Grand Duke, and has the power to intervene in all affairs within the territory. After Alex's death, Gonzalez relied on him to properly handle many government affairs. "The situation is unclear, so we can only send a team of scouts to investigate first." Gonzalez nodded. The flying cavalry is fast. If you can't beat it, you can still escape to minimize casualties. Blake suggested that the gryphon flying knights of the Revenge Army should accompany him. This was not because he underestimated the strength of the sergeants of Fort Watch, but because in dealing with the undead, the Dawn Sect had a great advantage. After finalizing the plan, two flying teams belonging to the Revenge Army and the Keep Keep set off from Grantham and headed for the desolate north. Since the Storm Sea spread into the land, the originally fertileThe land has become a wasteland filled with only death. Looking from the air, human and animal corpses can be seen everywhere on the ground. The lush forests and pastures have become yellowed memories. The sights along the way made the flying team feel as gloomy as the hazy sky. Bissar is the closest floating city to Grantham. It is no more than half a day away. Flying mounts are faster than land mounts, and it only takes two hours to fly there. The city wall that was supposed to be full of soldiers was empty. Seeing it from a distance, the scouts were all frightened, fearing that something had really happened. (To be continued)
