Gently stroking the Space Ring in his hand, he smiled wryly to himself. This Treasure Seeking Movement could be said to be a complete failure!
He lowered his head to look at the sleeping puppy on his leg, then looked at the occasional barking coming from the carriage behind him, and silently cursed himself for being greedy enough to swallow an elephant! His goal this time was not to search for treasures, but to revive all the Dark Knight and give all of them mounts. This was already quite a bountiful harvest, not to mention that he had brought back a group of future gatekeepers.
Other than the bones, there were no other valuable treasures in the Underground King City. He found nothing good on the average body of the Death Lord, but he could not find any other legendary Staff or that mystical ring. In the end, he could only conclude that those two things were either lost like the crown of the skeleton or taken away by the experts from the five clans.
He used the bones there to build a huge bone transfer array. Normally, he would leave the underground city and destroy the six talismans on the outside. That way, other than him, no one else would be able to enter this place. Of course, if a great deity was able to dig a thousand meters deep into the ground, it was possible that it would do so. However, this possibility was basically close to zero.
The reason why he did such a thing was to prevent other evil Necromancer from sneaking in and becoming stronger to harm the world. After all, there were very few kind-hearted Necromancer like him. Other people would not kill themselves. Rather than being cheap to others, it was better to be cheap to oneself.
After exiting the ancient tomb, he found out that he had been in there for almost ten days. When they found out that Ordinary was going to leave, the five adult Emperor Dog hoped that he would be able to bring them and the young ones away from this place without him even trying to coax them.
If they were to go out to hunt, half of them would still have to put in a lot of effort to take care of these cubs. In addition, their new king, the three-headed hound, was very friendly to the boy. It seemed that the dog would definitely follow if the dog was leaving, so it hoped that the dog could also adopt them.
He brought a group of big dogs and puppies and left the Blackstone Wasteland, finding a small town outside and having a big feast. Originally, he had been worried that the emperor dogs' strange appearance would cause trouble by bringing them out of the wasteland, but when he brought them out, the emperor dogs would automatically retract their heads and become like ordinary dogs. In addition, they could also prevent their poison and acid from leaking out, which would save him a lot of trouble.
However, he was once again shocked by their average appetite. He secretly calculated in his heart that if he didn't work hard to earn money in the future, he probably wouldn't be able to raise these dogs.
He bought a horse carriage in the town and put all the puppies on it. During the day, he was pulled by a big dog and he drove the carriage to run to Thorn City. At night, he would use wind magic to push the carriage forward. Originally, the big dogs had the ordinary people ride them and hurry on their way. However, the ordinary people rejected them. On the surface, it seemed as if they respected them, making the dogs extremely touched. In reality, the ordinary people were only thinking for their own sake. In his hometown, there was a teachings passed down from generation to generation: Riding a dog and ripping his crotch!
Just as they were rushing towards the Thorn City, the current Thorn City was already in a mess. Hundreds of thousands of demons surrounded the Thorn City and the situation with their Thorn City was even more dangerous than it was in the past. After all, the people who surrounded the city back then were humans, but now the city was indeed an army of undead!
However, compared to back then, they still had a great advantage. At the very least, the Empire did not let them perish on their own this time. Instead, they sent out the Empire's strongest legion their own.
Back then, when the Lord of Thorn City received the ordinary advice, he put down his baggage and sent a report to the Empire's Emperor, saying that the famous Evil God and rod Esterod were inside the Thorn Mountain, and everything that had happened here was caused by him.
When the Emperor received the letter, he was so scared that his pants dropped, and hurriedly called his officials over to discuss countermeasures. When the important officials of the empire heard of Esterod's name, their expressions all changed drastically, and they inwardly cursed him for being lazy, and why didn't he quickly invite this fellow to the Underworld to sightsee so he could scare people off.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Thorn City is difficult now, we cannot ignore it. I have decided to send an army of soldiers to the Thorn Mountain, all of you are the pillars of my empire, I wonder if anyone is willing to lead the troops there?" Emperor raised his head to look at the officials below, and all of them lowered their heads to look at the teacups in the bowls. They felt that the current water was extremely soft and lovely, more so than beauties!
"They are all trash. Look at you all, each of you is of high position and authority. You all are so mighty and mighty, but who would have thought that you would be scared of a Necromancer today? Look at your current appearances, you don't even look like nobles. You're just a bunch of cowards! Just like this, all of you who spread the news of Burton Empire have been utterly humiliated! You bunch of bastards, worthy to be called men! " Looking at how everyone was being kept silent, the white-haired Old Madame slapped the table and shouted.
When the ministers heard this, their faces turned purple, and their noses became crooked, especially Emperor, who was extremely unhappy, thinking to himself, who is this arrogant, didn't you say you were scolding me too? However, when he raised his head, he saw that this person had already lost his temper. When the officials saw this, they also withered away like deflated balls.
The person who had spoken was one of the three famous Holy Knights in the Empire, Ji Catti-brie Merlin. She was the true controller of the Ji Family and Merlin's family, an old woman who was even more decisive than men!
Seeing that the words were spoken by her elder, the Emperor shrunk his neck and said: "Duke of Zi Jing Hua, Mr. Esterod is not as simple as just a Necromancer, could it be that you have never heard of him? He is a very famous person, a very famous person who is afraid of the entire world! "
"What celebrity?" That was a person's name! No matter how strong he is, he won't be invincible. If we just hear his name and feel fear in our hearts, wouldn't that be called a mockery on the part of the people of the world?! Look at your current appearances, shameless! " Ji Old Madame shouted mercilessly.
The Emperor burped as he choked. He had no choice but to wink at the purple gold Old Duke Ji Dan beside her, using his eyes to signal him: Take care of your wife, leave some face to me and the other men in the court.
Old Duke Ji slammed the table and said: "Enough! Are we men not as good as you? What is a woman like you doing here? Quickly shut up! "
"Bam!" With a palm strike from Ji Old Madame, the dishes on the table started to dance about happily. Shut up! You old bastard, if you have the ability, how dare you shout at me! Did I say anything wrong? Especially you! You are also a Holy Knight, and you can transform. How many people in this continent can be your opponent? But you are also scared by a person's name, don't you feel ashamed? You already have a bunch of beards, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of death? "Ahhh!"
Old Duke's anger immediately vanished, his face was full of smiles: "Please calm your anger Madam, calm your anger, haha... How could I be scared? It's just that this matter isn't as simple as you think. This, well, I need to think it through, right! "I'll think it over …"
"Pui!" Since all of you are afraid of death and do not dare to go, then I shall take His Majesty's orders. I will immediately go down and gather some people, then go to Thorn Mountain tomorrow! " The Old Madame left with these words and left in a huff.
After being stunned for a moment, Old Duke jumped up and rushed forward like a frightened rabbit. From far away, he shouted, "Stupid old granny, come back here! "That evil guy is a great pervert. He's interested in going from the ninety-nine of them to the moment they leave. Aren't you going to put on a green hat for me …"
The Emperor and the other ministers in the hall all had a wicked smile on their lips after hearing what he said, as their minds flashed with the dirty scene of Ji Old Madame being cruelly trampled by the evil skeleton without any clothes on her body.
Seeing the Emperor's obscene smile, the head Archmage of the palace, Cameron, coughed to remind the noble emperor to pay attention to his image. Emperor woke up from his stupor and took a peek. He was relieved when he saw that there were no disciples of Ji Family in the hall. If Old Duke Ji knew about his appearance, that old fellow would definitely cause trouble for him.
Emperor knocked on the table heavily with his hand and said with a sullen face, "Esteemed officials, what kind of expression is that?! If Old Duke Ji sees it … " Everyone shuddered and started to flatter the Emperor. The Emperor closed his eyes and stroked his chin as if he was enjoying the show.
Old Duke Ji and his son, Ji Ang, had bitterly advised her for a long time, coaxing her into doing so while using his feelings as a justification for doing so. Only then did the old lady decide not to go, and give the opportunity to his son!
When Ji Ang heard this, he was extremely depressed, and was extremely unwilling to go. In the end, Old Duke just stared at him, if there was anything his disciple could do, he would take it as a job. You are my son, and also my, Weiyi's, successor, if you don't go, who else can you go to? The Duke had issued a death order, and this matter had to be resolved in a satisfactory manner. Otherwise, if your father and I were to wear green hats, you brat would be in for a lot of trouble!
In short, after hearing that Old Duke had knelt on the floor in the middle of the night, accompanied by a carriage of good words, and had agreed to countless unreasonable agreements, the Old Madame dispelled the idea of going to Thorn Mountain to "send the dishes", allowing him to escape her bad luck under the green hat.
Ji Ang had no choice but to send an urgent order to the Ji Family disciples of the Purple Gold Legion in the Southern Mountain Pass, to level the disciples in the Southern Mountain Pass which included a strengthening army, a mage group and a Dragonrider. At the same time, he got up from the Capital s and rushed towards the Thorn Mountain s.
At the same time he left, Emperor ordered the other Mage s to send a note to the emperors, saying that the Necromancer, who had disturbed the world for 500 years, had appeared and stirred up a commotion in the Thorn Mountain. requested for the countries to send their experts to form an alliance with the Burton Empire to fight against this public enemy of all mankind.
As a result, all of the nations replied in succession, saying that Thorn Mountain was a territory of the Burton Empire, and that this matter was originally the internal affairs of the empire. Using the diplomatic foundation of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, it was inconvenient for all the nations to interfere in the internal affairs of the Burton Empire, thus, they refused to provide assistance to the Burton Empire. When Emperor saw this, he became furious. After discussing it with his subordinates, he formulated a very sinister plan and secretly sent people to negotiate with that Necromancer, preparing to take him in as a national use or to send him to another country.
It was at this time that the Pontiff of the Light Holy See sent out a decree to hold a grand competition for the selection of knights and officials to protect themselves. He requested that the various districts do not interfere with too many mundane things, and to put all of their efforts into supporting these talented people.
At the same time, the person sent by the Lord of Thorn City to negotiate with the Pope had also been sent back. He said that the Pope was clearly sick and could not leave the mountain, but in reality, it was because he had received the news that the fellow in Thorn Mountain was Necromancer Esterod.
After Lord of Thorn City heard the news, he was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood. He directly spread the news to the public, saying that the notorious Necromancer Esterod was inside the Thorn Mountain, and the Pontiff of the Church had chased back the people that I sent to ask for help.
To the surprise of Mayor Jing, after this news came out, the number of mercenary groups evacuated from the city was not many, but there were even more mercenaries and adventurers madly rushing over. A large portion of them were women, and they were extremely powerful women, all of them were dinosaurs that were even more terrifying than Ninth Rank beasts.
On the same night after their departure, the army of Pingnan Pass arrived. On the same night, the patrolling army met the devil, and although they managed to kill hundreds of demons, more than thirty soldiers died in battle. These soldiers became zombies, which were even harder to kill than the devil's, thanks to the arrival of mages.
The Army Regimental Commander Luo Wen did not dare to be careless. He retreated overnight and set up camp five kilometers away again, waiting for Ji Ang's arrival. On the second day, he sent over ten heavy cavalry Team to protect the mage in the light, and also dispatched tens of thieves and assassins to scout the situation of the Thorn Mountain. After hearing the reports from the mages and thieves, his face turned green, and he hurriedly reported the situation to the mage in the light.
After careful calculations by a mage, the total number of demons in the Eastern Thorn Mountain was probably close to a million. Luo Wen Regimental Commander had also sent people to the various large organizations and the Mayor Palace to inquire about the losses of mercenaries and adventurers as well as merchants who came to the Thorn City. The repayment rate shocked Luo Wen once again, and the number of people who died in the seven Thorn Mountain during these few months were also close to seven hundred thousand!
Based on past experience, an Undead Warrior would need five to eight soldiers to fight to win. With so many Undead Legion here, just relying on his 50,000 men would be a waste of his life.
When Ji Ang rushed over, Luo Wen was extremely shocked by the situation, but he did not panic, and after ordering people to carefully investigate the situation for the past few months, Ji Ang could not help but feel that it was strange, and why did the Necromancer control so many people and not attack from the mountains?
In order to resolve this mystery, Ji Ang decided to launch an attack once more. Thus, on the morning of the second day, he brought over five thousand people and under the protection of three Mages and his Dragonrider, they charged into the mountain.
By noon, they had finally crossed the safety line set by Yuri and the rest, and after they passed the safety line, the demons that appeared suddenly became several times fiercer. Two hours later, Ji Ang and the rest of the Dragonrider soldiers quickly retreated back down the mountain, and only a hundred people were killed in this battle.
By the time they returned, the soldiers under their command had started to have adverse reactions. The ones that were crazy, almost a thousand of them had fainted, and Ji Ang immediately sent people to Bramble City to find the priests and divine officials of the Holy Church to help them get rid of the effects of the undead magic. However, for now, these people had no more strength to fight, so Ji Ang could only order people to send them back to the Southern Mountain Pass.
That night, which was also the night that they took care of the bald guy who wore a yellow collar, Necromancer who was hiding in the mountains had placed this score on Ji Ang and sent a large group to teach him a lesson. In fact, this score was not wrong for him, since Ji Ang had played an irreplaceable role in the process of making ordinary people.
Tens of thousands of Undead Warriors rushed down under the command of the Skeleton Mage. After a bloody battle between the two sides for an entire night, almost twenty thousand Undead Warriors were killed, but Ji Ang's army had also suffered over ten thousand casualties.
But he did not know that the Necromancer in the mountain was even angrier than him. The number of Undead Warriors he had currently trained was only around forty to fifty thousand, and he had already lost half of them in an instant, which made him both furious and resentful. In a fit of anger, Necromancer decided that he had to finish the work at hand as soon as possible to eliminate the army.
There were two reasons why he could not leave the Thorn Mountain. First, its two Skull Dragon s had been dismantled by the Spatial Beast, and he was currently trying to repair them. Another reason was his own relationship.
In order to prevent his soul from being dissected and enslaved by the Necromancer, he chose to use his soul as a sacrifice to call upon the Necromancer, causing him to suffer from severe sores. Other than that, he also summoned a Stone Demon to imprison the Necromancer, who was preparing to use the Soul Transfer spell, so as long as he could clean up the new body and complete the soul transfer, the Necromancer would be able to leave the mountain. This new body was the mage that the Emperor had sent to negotiate with him.
