    "We have been searching for so many days, but we haven't even seen the shadow of the undead. It seems that other teams have not found it either." A scout took a rabbit leg and bit off a piece of meat, chewing heavily while mumbling.  Qing Qing said: "I think the undead army might have run away a long time ago." "Don't talk nonsense." Another scout said: "The Sidonis sect's army surrounded Sonali City, which is their home base. It is said that many dead  The spirit mage is also surrounded in the city. How can the undead army ignore it? ""Then why haven't they been discovered yet?" The previous scout retorted: "I don't believe that such a large army can be invisible.  Speaking of other things, just their stench can be smelled from several miles away. "This is really strange. If you want to break the siege of Sonali City, it is impossible not to pass through our defense area."  The scout said: "If we keep hiding, it will be meaningless when the Sidonis sect captures Sonali." "Could it be that Lord Raymond made a mistake in his judgment? The Necromancer has actually stopped searching for a long time."  Nali." One of the scouts speculated: "Maybe they have escaped from Lavit." "How is it possible? Master Raymond will never make such a mistake." The other scouts scolded.  The accused scout retorted loudly, causing a commotion in the room.  "Okay, shut up!" At this time, the leading captain stopped everyone and said in a deep voice: "This kind of thing is not what we should care about. We just need to act according to the order."  Rest and report to Lord Bastet tomorrow. "A scout opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly there was a snapping sound outside the house, which was particularly harsh in the quiet night.  The scout jumped up immediately as if he had been pricked by a needle, pulled out his weapon and looked out the window nervously.  The other scouts also showed vigilance, and the captain was the most calm. He whispered: "Lars, what happened?" After a while, the scout standing guard outside the house replied: "Nothing, a mouse knocked over  "I made a clay pot." Everyone in the room immediately relaxed, and the scout who reacted the most violently just now became the target of everyone's ridicule: "Snowley, I don't usually notice that your reactions are quite fast."  The scout named Snowley couldn't help but blush: "II'm just a little" "We have searched during the day, and there is not a single hair around the village. Why are you so nervous?" someone said.  "What do you know? Snowley reacts so quickly, which shows that he is always vigilant." Another person said: "This is one of the conditions for becoming a top scout." Amid the laughter of the crowd, Snowley couldn't help but laugh.  Feeling embarrassed.  However, they were all comrades who had gone through life and death together. Even though he was angry, he could not get angry. He could only accept their ridicule in a depressed manner.  "But speaking of it, when I was being trained by Master Bastet, my reaction was much greater than Snowley's." Fortunately, someone quickly changed the topic.  "Do you still remember? In order to practice courage, Mistress Bast threw us into the cemetery to spend the night?" "Of course I remember, that night was the most terrifying night I have ever had." Someone immediately said: "The slightest movement can be heard.  "It scared me half to death." "What's even more disgusting is that Master Bast pretended to be a ghost to scare us." Someone recalled: "Remember Neksel from the seventh team? It was said that he was scared to tears that night."  " "There was also that confrontation exercise. Lady Bast unexpectedly attacked us while we were camping, and ended up 'killing' everyone who participated. " " And there's more" Soon, the scene changed.  During the memorial meeting and the criticism meeting against Bastet, everyone was talking about it, recalling the scene when they were trained by Bastet when they were still rookies.  The captain did not stop them. Scouting is a very dangerous and stressful profession. After confirming that he is in a safe environment, he will not interfere with his men's proper actions.  What¡¯s more, the captain himself was also a victim of Bastet¡¯s sexual training.  At this moment, there was another snapping sound outside the house.  The team members who were having a heated discussion did not pay attention, but the captain still keenly noticed the abnormality.  "Weird, is it another rat?" the captain muttered. Although he had already confirmed that the village was safe, he still asked cautiously: "Lars, go and see what's going on." There was no sound coming from outside the house.  Lars's answer made the captain's heart skip a beat, and he felt faintly uneasy.  My subordinates are all experienced scouts and will never ignore orders.  "Lars?" He called again, but there was still no response from outside the house.  ? ?When they heard that something had happened, the captain immediately shouted: "Quiet, something is wrong outside." Everyone in the room immediately fell silent. They realized from the captain's solemn expression that something was unusual, and everyone showed a vigilant look.  .  The two quickly moved to the window and guarded the key positions, while the rest of the people quietly took out their weapons.  "Captain, what happened?" Snowley asked in a low voice.  "I don't know yet." The captain shook his head: "But I'm afraid something happened to Lars." "Lars?" A scout in front of the window quietly looked out, but it was dark and quiet outside, as if  Nothing unusual.  "Turn off the flames and prepare to fight!" the captain ordered.  Snowley immediately put out the bonfire as instructed. As the fire went out, the room fell into darkness, with only the embers of the fire giving off a faint red light and flickering slightly.  Although it was not clear what happened, as the light disappeared, everyone in the room became nervous, and the sound of rapid breathing could be heard faintly.  At this moment, the door suddenly opened with a creak.  ***************************************************  **************** A figure appeared at the door. Due to the darkness, only a blurry black shadow could be seen.  He just stood in front of the door, not coming in, and making no sound, which seemed extremely strange.  The captain extended his fingers and tapped three times. The scouts nearby understood and immediately dispersed quietly under the cover of darkness.  Because they have already memorized the situation in the house, they can move freely even in the dark environment.  "Who are you?" the captain asked in a low voice.  As expected, the other party had no intention of answering.  There is nothing left to say. The visitor has already shown enough hostility, so the scouts no longer need to be polite.  "Come on!" With a loud shout, the captain stretched his foot into the fire, and instantly a large piece of ashes with red light flew towards the person at the door, followed by countless sparks flying in the air.  At the same time, the scouts scattered around and rushed towards the people from all directions. In the long-term battle, they had already developed a very high level of understanding.  At this moment, with the red light shining in the ashes, the appearance of the man at the door clearly appeared in front of everyone.  "Lars!?" The captain's eyes were stern.  The man at the door is surprisingly Lars, who has been silent all this time!  Then, there was a popping sound, and all the ashes stirred up by the captain hit Lars, and a large red light exploded instantly. The unburned ashes came into contact with the air, and flames appeared again, and some even burned.  Lars's clothes.  There was light again in the room, and when they saw that the person at the door was their companion, the other scouts stopped one after another.  "Is it Lars!?" "What is he doing there?" The scouts all exchanged strange looks, but although they stopped, they all remained vigilant and no one relaxed because of this. This was also developed in long-term battles.  Habit.  "Lars, what are you doing?" The captain said solemnly: "Answer immediately!" But Lars just stood silently in front of the door, with a blank look on his face, turning a deaf ear to the captain's questions.  Some flames burned on his clothes, but he showed no reaction.  Now anyone can see that there is something unusual about Lars.  Snowley looked back at the captain, and his meaning was very clear: What should we do with him?  The situation tonight is really weird. Lars, who was on guard outside, became like this inexplicably.  Suddenly, the captain discovered that the village that he thought was safe actually hid huge dangers.  This discovery made him break out in a cold sweat and forced him to make the most extreme reaction.  "Kill him!" Upon hearing the captain's order, everyone hesitated, but just for a moment, everyone rushed towards Lars, the daggers held high shining with a cold light.  At this moment, something incredible happened.  There was a crackling sound, and Lars, who had been standing still, suddenly parted in the middle like a piece of bread.  The huge tear extended from the lower abdomen to the neck. As the muscles tore, the inside of his body was exposed to the air, and the scarlet organs were even squirming.  However, the strange thing is that not a drop of blood came out. The scene was extremely strange.  Immediately afterwards, Bai Sensen¡¯s sternum and ribs popped out of his muscles like rows of gun heads.  By this time, the scouts had already rushed in front of him. Because things happened so fast, they didn't even have time to react. ?"Be careful!" The captain at the rear only had time to issue such a warning.  The next moment, Lars¡¯ whole body exploded.  All the bones in his body flew out into the house like a thrown javelin.  In an instant, the entire room was filled with white bones. The broken bones were as sharp as spears, filling the entire space densely.  No one could survive such intensive shooting. In just a moment, the first few scouts were pierced by bones, and then the rest of the bones were shot into the whole room in a mess, with crackling sounds and a heavy rain.  It kept ringing.  After a few seconds, everything stopped.  I saw that all the walls and ceilings of the entire house were covered with bones of different sizes. Where Lars was standing at the door, a large amount of blood was sprayed around in a radial pattern, with bits of broken meat mixed in. Who would have thought that there was a person standing there just now?  .  All the scouts fell in a pool of blood, their bodies covered with bones. Everyone had their eyes wide open, as if they couldn't believe what happened until they died.  Only the captain still made a sound. He sat on the ground with his back against the wall. Two bones pierced his chest. Blood continued to flow from his mouth, and blood foam spurted out even when he breathed. He was dead before his eyes.  .  "Damndamn it, what's going on?" The captain's face was full of unwillingness. He had clearly confirmed that the village was safe, why did it become like this?  At this time, the dark room suddenly lit up, but at some point, a green flame burned from the ashes of the fire. The light from the beating green flame enveloped the room in a strange green light.  , combined with the hell-like scene all around, it was really indescribably weird and terrifying.  Seeing the green flame that marked the surname, the captain already knew who did it.  Sure enough, a man, Shi Shiran, walked in from outside the house.  He is well-dressed, has a handsome face, and has an elegant demeanor in his every move, like a young nobleman who has just come from a high-class banquet.  However, for such a person to appear here late at night, there is an indescribable incongruity.  He slowly walked up to the captain and looked him up and down: "You can still survive, you have good skills." "Youare you a necromancer?" the captain stared at the man.  "That's right, Edward, you must be looking for me recently, right?" the man said.  The person who came was none other than Edward, who commanded the disappeared army of the undead. Raymond's scouts searched desperately, but they didn't expect that he would suddenly appear here.  "You, you are indeed here." The captain wanted to stand up in excitement, but as soon as the wound was touched, he immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood and sat back feebly.  "Don't get excited." Edward said gently, like a doctor comforting the patient: "You will die soon anyway, it is better to let yourself suffer less." "Then let me ask you, Raymond is stationed  In the town of Grayling not far away?" Edward asked.  "Do you think I will answer you?" the captain said contemptuously.  "Of course not." Unexpectedly, Edward smiled slightly: "So, you'd better return to the arms of Hades with peace of mind." As he said that, Edward waved his hand, and the green flames burning in the fire seemed to be pulled by some kind of force.  A long snake rolled around and wrapped around the captain's body.  The captain's whole body immediately burned, and his whole body was enveloped in green flames.  He let out a shrill scream and kept rolling and struggling on the ground. The burning green flame did not burn his body like ordinary flames, but slowly corroded his body. However, within a moment, the captain's body was corroded to the bone.  But he was still alive, and his screams echoed in the silent village, making people's scalp numb.  "I've already warned you. It's best not to suffer so much before you die." Edward looked at the burning man struggling on the ground with compassion: "It's a pity that you didn't listen to me." Then, he turned and left the house, echoing behind him  The captain screamed in pain for a while, then gradually subsided ***************************************  ********************************* Walking outside the house, Edward stood in the deserted village. After a moment, he suddenly said: "Okay.  Come on, let¡¯s move forward. It¡¯s time to give some warning to those who overestimate their own capabilities.¡± The whole village was deserted. There was no one else except him. Who was Edward talking about?  However, as soon as Edward finished speaking, countless ghosts suddenly flew up from the shadows of those dilapidated houses, like fish swimming in the sky, circling and flying above Edward's head.  Immediately afterwards, groups of zombies and skeleton soldiers emerged from the wilderness outside the village. They walked through the village in neat lines and headed towards Grayling Town.  Since these are undead, they have no military discipline or logistical supplies.Because of this, the army of the undead can maintain a high level of secrecy when marching, and it is almost impossible to detect it at night.  Just by watching Edward eliminate this group of scouts, you know that the undead army is preparing to pass through this breach and attack Headington's army.  However, the strange thing is, isn¡¯t the army of the undead going to relieve Sonali¡¯s siege?  Why is the target the Headington Army? No wonder Edward doesn't care about Denecke's life or death?  Since all the prerequisites laid by Raymond were to ensure that the Sidonian sect's army would not be attacked from behind, the defense lines he deployed were all to protect the flanks of the friendly forces, but he neglected his own protection.  But it¡¯s not his fault. Who would have thought that the undead army would ignore its own nest and the guild leader and attack the Headington army?  Such an unexpected military action may cause great losses to Headington's army, but it will not be helpful to the entire war situation.  Moreover, by exposing his position, he lost the intimidating effect he had when he was hiding.  Once Sonali City is captured by the Sidonis sect, no matter how the war proceeds here, it will be meaningless.  Edward is not a fool, and it is impossible not to see this, so what exactly does he want to do?  As groups of zombies and skeleton soldiers passed through the village, several necromancers responsible for manipulating the troops appeared behind Edward.  "Lord Edward, everything is ready." A necromancer said.  Edward nodded, with a sneer on his face: "I'm afraid no one knows now that we will go for Raymond. I really want to see the look on his face in the morning when he found out that Grayling Town was surrounded by us.  What an expression." "Let's go and send all the enemies into the arms of Hades." Finally, he said.  "Yes." The Necromancer responded in a low voice, and then slowly disappeared into the darkness.  After standing quietly for a moment in the village where the undead passed, Edward slowly walked towards the outside of the village.  "The planhas begun." *******************************************  *********************** "Sir, Lord Raymond, something bad is going to happen!" Raymond was awakened from his dream by a rapid knock on the door.  He sat up from his bed, his head still a little dazed because he was not fully awake yet.  But the guards outside the door kept shouting anxiously, indicating that something terrible had happened.  Raymond looked out the window habitually. It was pitch black outside, with only a faint white light in the sky, indicating that dawn was coming.  Fortunately, during the march, Raymond was used to sleeping in his clothes. He grabbed the sword on the bedside, walked to the door and opened it.  A gust of night wind blew in, and Raymond was so excited that he woke up completely.  And as he opened the door, Raymond also discovered that the entire town of Grayling was in chaos.  There were figures running around everywhere outside the house, and screams and screams kept coming from the dark town, but for a while it was impossible to see what was going on. The situation could be said to be quite bad.  "What happened?" Raymond asked calmly.  The guard said: "Lord Raymond, we were attacked." "What!?" Raymond was shocked. Grayling Town would be attacked by the enemy?  With Grayling Town as the center, Raymond has deployed several lines of defense around it. It can be said that it is absolutely safe. No enemy should be able to pass through the line of defense and attack here. Who is it "Could it be?" Suddenly, a thought came to him.  Arose in Raymond's heart, could it be the Sidonian sect?  Only they could attack the defenseless Headington army.  Fortunately, the guard said at this time: "It's the undead. They suddenly appeared outside the town and started attacking us!" An army of the undead?  Although the suspicion of his allies was cleared, this discovery shocked Raymond even more.  Since entering Grayling Town, Raymond has continuously sent out scouts to look for traces of the undead army, but he has never found any traces.  Who would have thought that tonight the other party would come to the city without making a sound. This is simply unbelievable.  How did they get through their own defenses?  Don¡¯t they care about Sonali City?  Why attack here?  A series of questions emerged in Raymond's mind, but there was no reasonable explanation for a while. In addition, the whole town was in chaos and the soldiers screamed one after another, which seriously hindered his thinking.  "Did you see clearly?" It was still too hard to believe. Raymond couldn't help but ask, "Are they really undead?" "Yes, Lord Raymond, they are now" the soldier said hurriedly.  However, before he could finish his words, a scream was suddenly heard, and more than ten ghosts suddenly appeared from nowhere.It flew out of the darkness and rushed towards the surrounding Headington army.  The attack of the ghost can absorb the vitality of human beings. Although it cannot cause death immediately, it can bring great panic on the battlefield due to its surname that is not afraid of physical attacks.  The soldiers over there were pierced by ghosts one after another. Many of them immediately fell to the ground due to exhaustion. Others drew their weapons and tried to resist, but ordinary swords could not hit the disembodied ghosts. Those faces were terrifying.  The translucent ghost was flying in the air while attacking the warriors below, causing great shock.  No need for the guards to explain now, Raymond knew that the attacker must be an undead.  He immediately asked: "How many undead are there? How is our defense line?" "I, I don't know." The guard said blankly: "I'm sorry, Lord Raymond. As soon as I found out that I was under attack, I came to inform you.  I don¡¯t know anything else.¡± This can¡¯t be blamed on the guards. Gray Lin was suddenly attacked at night, and now the whole army is probably in panic. It is unrealistic to expect him, a small guard, to figure out the enemy¡¯s situation.  Therefore, Raymond said without hesitation: "Quick, follow me!" (To be continued.)
