"There is nothing unusual at the fortress." Vampire Lord Safin searched carefully. From the external magic prism to the installed blood slaves, the town of Brenda and the fortress had not changed much. He glanced at the side of the fortress. Lich: "Are you sure the Son of Nature has returned?" There is no reason why they shouldn't be so calm. Did he go back alone? ¡°There are two others, a half-blood half-elf and a Dawn Knight.¡± Oh, this really surprised me. Hearing that Julian had followed him back, the Lich's soul flame flashed suddenly, but soon returned to calm. "I always feel that you are hiding something from us." As the three leaders of the Immortal Empire, Safin does not trust Shuanghan at all. Strictly speaking, the transformation of their father and son was also caused by this unknown fate-weaver from another world who was parachuted directly by the God of Death. At the beginning of the transformation, the extreme emptiness and resentment of the undead made him rack his brains to seek revenge, but no matter how many times he tried, he could not find it. It would be difficult for a guy who doesn't have access to the Lich's phylactery, does everything by himself, never borrows from others, and doesn't even train his confidants to discover its unknown secrets. Gradually, Safin, who has adapted to the identity of the undead, has forgotten that he was an elf. Although he still wants to kill the lich, he has no choice but to find a way to annihilate his soul in one fell swoop. Everyone in this empire has their own little secret, right? The Lich has no vocal cords. Its voice is emitted directly by magic power, which is similar to sound but is actually something closer to perception. The raised tone was a bit naughty, which made Safin want to give him a good beating. For example, the one hidden in your camp "Enough! I don't mean anything else. I just think you have some plans of your own. This general attack is very important. If you have plans and don't tell us, if something goes wrong, the master will punish you." , None of us can bear it." Safin interrupted the Lich eagerly and directed the topic to the battle plan. Hehehe Although my plan was a little different from the original one, overall it went very smoothly. As you can see, it won't take long to completely capture the fortress. "What are you going to do with that Son of Nature? That is a real incarnation, different from the one you killed last time." Speaking of the Son of Nature, Safin couldn't help but think of the last time the Son of Nature surrounded and suppressed the Pillar of the Earth, even if it was just a Son of Nature. The newly selected novice, relying solely on the divine favor of the pillar, also accompanied most of the Lich Leader's combat power, although this guy may not want the subordinates he inherited from the previous one. This was probably my only miscalculation, or maybe I didn¡¯t expect it. The Pillar of the Earth found a new apostle so quickly, and it was from another world. I wonder if it came from the same place as me. The Lich murmured to himself, as if he was caught in some kind of recollection: Is he someone I know? No, no, my plan is foolproof and no one should be able to crack it. But if it really comes from the earth, that would be troublesome. Modern people generally have no faith. Would Zhu really find such a person to be his apostle? Safin watched with cold eyes as the Lich performed a one-man show. He didn¡¯t want to interrupt. He had been deceived in the past, and he didn¡¯t want to be fooled again this time. Victory was imminent, so we still focused on how to conquer the fortress. As for the Son of Nature, if he wasn't afraid that the Lich would prevent him and his father from dying, he wouldn't want to worry about it. Suddenly, Safin suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, remembering the lich's previous anomaly and its brief but profound question. Going back alone? It surprised me. When the Lich fell into a state of self-talk, Safin sent a message to the blood slave and controlled it through blood. After a while, it was synchronized with the blood slave placed in the senior officer. Looking around, Safin quickly discovered that the two people who had returned to the fortress with the Son of Nature were there, especially the Knight of the Dawn, who was dressed in bright armor and had a high status, as others called him. Deputy Leader Hehe, I knew this guy was planning to cause trouble again. The thunderous heretical chief judge, one of the designated successors of the next high priest, was responsible for destroying most of the underground dens established in the empire. Even if such a character fell, it is impossible to give him the position of leader. We are both knights, and it was indeed our father who was scheming. "Pa" The lich's soliloquy stopped abruptly. It looked at the place where the voice came from. For some reason, the magic orb on the vampire lord's chest suddenly shattered. "One of my informants buried in the fortress was discovered." Safin replied calmly, "But I got an important piece of information. The alliance is about to withdraw its troops." "What are you doing!!" Ortega stared with a livid face. Son, this guy suddenly grabbed the candlestick on the table and threw it at a mage who was maintaining the teleportation spell. The sharp metal stabbed his chest, and he fell to the ground and died almost immediately. Link ignored it and walked over. After pulling out the candlestick, everyone exclaimed that there was no blood! Except for the dark black blood stains on the tip of the candlestick, it was clearly a dead body. "You said you were not traitors!" Mario, who had the most explosive temper, drew his sword and pointed at Ortega, who was also stunned. "He didn't know it, he was a blood slave." Link promptly stopped a verbal attack on the mage. "If you are from the mage group, you can't get away with it." Mario lowered his voice, but his eyes when looking at the mage were full of suspicion. The people in the command post also unanimously surrounded the mage. In their opinion, if the mage has one blood slave, there will be a second and third one. In addition, the Son of Nature pointed out that the lich had entered the Horn Sea openly. Hohenheim became the emperor's personal adviser and used it as a springboard to become the emperor's personal adviser. Hohenheim was inseparable from it. Link lowered his head and thought for a moment. When he raised his head again, a fluorescent white ring spread out from his body. "Ah!" "What is this?" "What happened?" People screamed one after another. People found that many people around them turned gray, as if they were petrified. When they reached out and touched them, they were scattered into ashes. Julian leaned down and touched the ashes that still had some residual warmth, and sensed a powerful divine spell from them, which should be for purification or the like. As for those who turned to ashes, of course they were blood slaves who relied on living people to hide their identity as undead. Only high-level magic can completely purify and eliminate them. No need for Link to explain, people who came back to their senses obviously realized what happened. "There are so many." Mario counted silently in his mind. There were only twenty or thirty senior officers in the command post, and at least one-third of them turned to ashes on the ground. He didn't dare think about how many blood slaves there were among the lower-level soldiers and town residents. "Don't worry, if the numbers are really superior, the undead have already conquered the fortress from the inside. Why do they need such a big deal? They are cutting mountains and destroying barriers." Dante, who was closest, was worried that Mario would have a mental breakdown and the empire would suffer. The number of soldiers is the largest in the fortress. The commander must be responsible for the retreat, but no more mistakes can be made. "I roughly sensed that the majority of them were officers, and the rest were scattered among the civilians. On the contrary, the lower-level soldiers were very clean." Just now, Link lowered his head and thought that he was using divine magic, and he had no control over the fortress and the town. The distribution of blood slaves has always been well known. "Why is this?" Mario couldn't help but asked curiously. "Blood slaves are the personal possessions of vampires. People with excessive self-awareness are not suitable for being made into skeletons and zombies. Death knights and necromancers have too high requirements for peace and willpower, and people who are easily controlled are not eligible." Link He was the first to walk out of the command post, "Everyone, please leave immediately. The enemy has placed all their spies beside you. If you don't leave, they will attack the city." Ortega looked at the son of nature who had walked away, thinking in his heart Not to mention how uncomfortable it feels. After staying in the northern fortress for so many years, I have achieved nothing, and I have to go back with the reputation of being defeated. Not to mention being promoted, I might even be ridiculed. How could I agree to such a thankless job in the first place? Task? Each commander immediately started evacuation matters. As early as the establishment, evacuation was a standing drill item, and it was simulated every three to five. Many civilians were awakened by knocking on the door in their sleep. When they heard that the undead were going to launch a general attack, they took the dry food and easy-to-carry money that had been prepared early, and started their escape southward under the leadership of the soldiers. ¡°Follow the big group and don¡¯t fall behind!¡± Mario rode his horse back and forth along the group. Link stood on the partially incomplete battlement, looking at the long line of people lined up in the snow, silently sending his blessings, hoping that they would all arrive safely, although he knew this was impossible. The dwarf Dante asked Orlando, who was wearing armor, why he didn't withdraw with the large army? "My intuition tells me that it is safer to follow the Son of Nature." Taking the bow and arrow, Orlando walked up to the city wall, and saw the white deer emitting holy light from a distance. Since the retreat, the Son of Nature has always been in that posture, high-profile announced that he would stay as queen. It not only stabilizes the morale of the retreating army, but also provides comfort to the remaining soldiers who are not suitable for long-distance travel. "Why don't you leave?" "Death in battle is the highest honor for dwarves. Although I may become an undead after death, I still can't resist the temptation to fight side by side with the son of nature at the incarnation level." Dante waved his hand. The giant axe, with the belief of no regrets in his eyes. Death in battle is the destiny of a warrior. Even if he retreats with the army, no matter what the reason for his death in the future, he will still be dug out by the undead and become a member of the undead empire. Rather than that, it is better to let the son of nature give him a happy life. "I have made an agreement with the Son of Nature a long time ago. Once I am infected, I will be purified directly so as not to increase the combat power of the undead." "Huh?" Orlando was stunned. He didn't expect the dwarf to kill him so early.Despite his determination to die, he only wanted to live compared to himself, and for a moment a sense of shame occupied his heart. The warning horn sounded, and everyone who was still in the fortress was shocked. The attack that had been stalled after the return of the Son of Nature began again. To be continued.
