At the end of the day, the guards of Mehionnes immediately closed the city gates. After confirming that nothing was amiss, they returned to the office in peace.

As a vassal of Fergus, Mehiounes was not completely under the control of the empire. This town was developing faster and better than any town within the empire.

The entire town already had a population of more than 100,000 people.

Late at night, after midnight, the moon in the sky was brighter than usual.

On the plains to the west of Mehionnes, a group of soldiers dressed in imperial attire appeared.

Seeing this, the soldiers were prepared to report back to the duty room.

The moment they turned around, two black shadows flashed in the sky and landed on the city wall.

Before they could even react, their heads had already fallen to the ground.

These two were the Undead Evil Lords that Hall had summoned through the sacrifice of living humans through the magical array.

Their names were Hymin and Gerard.

They were very agile, and they both had powers that surpassed that of a Grand Magister.

The ordinary soldiers on the city wall were no match for the two of them.

They did not stop because the soldiers on the city wall were already dead. They only stopped after they had killed everyone on their way to the garrison camp and opened the city gate at the west.

The abnormality was soon discovered, and the city immediately sounded off the invasion alarm.

In the middle of the night, the entire Mehionnes was filled with sirens announcing an attack, but it did not last long before the alarm stopped.

It only took a few hours, and all the soldiers in the city had died at the hands of the zombies and skeleton soldiers before dawn.

After this, the number of undead troops increased dramatically, from 2,500 to about 10,000.

Time was of the essence. After Hall received the signal, he immediately flew towards Mehionnes.

Before sunrise, a huge circle was set up in the middle of the square. Then, the remaining 10,000 soldiers in the city were all pushed into it.

Along with many screams, black smoke rose from the center of the circle.

Even after the sun appeared, a layer of black smoke covered the sky. Sunlight could not penetrate it.

When the people in the city saw the black smoke, they felt uncomfortable because they had been hiding in their homes since the alarm. They did not know what had happened.

After doing all this, Hall went to the Castellan’s mansion and transformed it into a dark castle.

Then, he used a magical instrument to announce to all the citizens in the city, “From today onwards, Mehionnes has become the territory of the Supreme Lord Hall!”

“All the humans in the territory, please wait quietly at home after hearing this news!”

“If you step out of your home without permission, there will be consequences!”

The alarm kept playing in the city. All the citizens in the city were hiding in their rooms. No one dared to appear outside.

In the castle, the two Undead Evil Lords spat out all the fresh blood they had collected into the pool of blood that had just been dug out in the middle of the hall.

Looking at the wide pool of blood, Hall felt an indescribable sense of joy. It was as if he could see the imperial army division struggling in the pool of blood.

“Bring Giles Landel to me!”

“I’m going to turn him into a Dark Knight today!”

After receiving the order, Hymin immediately drove the carriage in the city and rushed towards the cave located in the mountains.

Somewhere in the city, the Castellan was hiding in an underground cave with his subordinates.

Lord Willis exclaimed, “What exactly just happened last night?!”

“Mehionnes has fallen in a single night!”

Vice Castellan Warren replied, “Castellan, we know this through the intelligence agents still hiding in the city.”

“The entire city of Mehionnes is filled with zombies and skeleton soldiers!”

“And these skeleton soldiers and zombies all have intelligence, all under the control of their superiors!”

Hearing this, Willis fell silent, thinking for a while but still could not figure out what had happened.

“Could it be that the Grand Magister Hall has already died?”

“Has Tumala completely fallen?”

Hearing this, Yamane, who was beside him, stood up and said, “Father, according to the news a few days ago, Tumala has not fallen!”

“Even if it has fallen in the past few days, the undead army should be attacking Fergus right now. It’s impossible for them to come to Mehionnes just like that!”

Willis calmed down after receiving news from multiple sources. He started thinking hard, waiting for news from the spies lurking in the city.

After completing the cover-up, the area within a radius of dozens of kilometers no longer needed to worry about the invasion of the sun.

Hall, who was sitting in the seat of the Castellan, had completely lost his patience.

This was because the Castellan had not appeared since last night, which made him very unhappy.

“Gerard!”

“Haven’t they been found yet?”

Hearing Hall’s words, Gerard immediately knelt in front of him.

“Supreme Lord, please calm down. I have been working very hard to find where they are hiding!”

“So far, we have found quite a few intelligence agents hiding in the city. I think we will be able to find their hiding place soon!”

All of this was not because Gerard was not good at doing things, because the way these people communicated was too special.

All of the captured intelligence agents did not know where the Castellan’s people were hiding. They were all communicating through special magic communication devices.

Moreover, they were all communicating with a one-way system. Even if they found the secret agents in the city and extracted their memories, they would not be able to find the Castellan’s hiding place.

Time passed by very slowly, and Gerard started sweating profusely.

For some reason, three hours had passed, but they were still unable to find these people.

Hall’s only remaining finger was constantly tapping on the handle of the chair from the very beginning, constantly making sounds.

This sound was very rhythmic, but to Gerard, it was like a death alarm. He was deeply afraid that this sound would stop.

This person who was sitting on the chair was already impatient, and the supreme undead monarch was asking for his forgiveness.

Gerard’s luck was very good today!

At this time, Hymin brought Landel over from the mountains.

“Supreme Lord, I have brought over Landel!”

Landel looked at the huge blood pool in the hall, and Hall, who was sitting on the chair without any emotions.

His heart was no longer in a daze. He had made his final choice!

Instead of being sacrificed as an undead creature, it was better for him to take the initiative and become an undead creature while retaining his own consciousness.

At the very least, he would be able to redeem some of his sins!
