The Rise of the Cemetery

(Thanks to Yuan Tao 365663912, Maple Leaf Grass, Purple Night Soul, [0.0] for their great support!)

April 16, 1224 in the Klein calendar, this day is destined to be an important day that needs to be recorded in the history of the Klein plane.

On this day, countless unknown events took place, but the most shocking among them was undoubtedly the declaration of war by the Mages Guild on the Great Cemetery.

As a giant mage organization in the Klein Continent that independently fights against the entire Church, the Mage Guild is undoubtedly the most powerful force in the Klein Continent and even the Klein Plane. According to a survey by someone with good deeds, in the entire Klein Continent, almost all professionals with the ability to cast spells have the experience of studying and traveling in the Mage Guild.

What's this? This is a hidden and invisible force!

In the eyes of all legal professionals, the Mage Guild is the home of all spellcasters, and it is the holy place for all mages to believe in. Therefore, if the church force invades the Seven Ring Tower, it will inevitably arouse the fighting passion of all spellcasters.

And that large cemetery, seriously, is nothing more than a dark force that has risen for two or three years. The leader of this faction turned out to be a human mage whose grade was no more than 25 years old, but what he led was a terrifying army of undead that could beat legendary liches and necromancers to their knees.

One of the main reasons why the Necropolis is defined as a dark force is that it hides its head and shows its tail too much. So far, no one has been able to pinpoint the lair of the Necropolis forces for sure. Although in various gossip, some people claim to have seen the army of the Great Necropolis in the Underdark. However, after being turned upside down by the wanton behavior of the mind flayer there, it has become extremely difficult to study further.

Others say that the old nest of the Great Cemetery is on an overseas isolated island, and somewhere there, there is a magnificent capital of the undead. However, across the vast ocean, it is extremely difficult for anyone or force to find traces of the undead in the sea where the sea clan is rampant.

Of course, there are still people who are preaching that this large cemetery is not an indigenous force in Claire's plane at all, but an invader who sneaked in from the distant undead world through the passage of the plane. This kind of statement has been recognized by many legendary powerhouses, because it is true that many king-level legendary undead can be seen in the battle sequence of the Great Cemetery.

Some people also infer from this that the lair of this large cemetery may not be in the plane of Klein at all, but in the world of the undead. They were able to enter and exit Klein's plane so freely only with the help of a hidden and unknown plane channel.

However, no matter how many rumors there are, no one can actually detect the internal information of the Great Cemetery. This large cemetery seems to be covered with a thick layer of black veil, even in front of people, but the real face is still unknown.

For the top powerhouses of the Klein plane, the Great Cemetery in the past was a dark force hiding underground, and they never dared to reveal their true side to others. How could such a force have a future?

You must know that all the land suitable for human habitation in the current Klein Continent has become owner-owned. These large and small human kingdoms are controlled by different forces or organizations, they are struggling to survive, and they are always in a kind of overt or covert struggle, merger, division and combination.

On a continent where the struggle is so fierce, it is so difficult and eye-catching for any foreign invaders to gain a foothold. Therefore, even the Mages Guild and those churches tend to the last cognition.

The foundation of the Great Cemetery is not in Klein, but in the undead world!

It is precisely because of this recognition that most of Klein's local forces have more or less underestimated this large cemetery.

Who would have thought that the Great Cemetery, which fell in love with the legendary liches, defeated the arrogant and arrogant Undead Council in a series of overt or covert struggles, and took away the original Moore from their hands. The territory of the Kingdom of Herd and the land of the Duchy of Novis.

The major forces that used to be contemptuous of the other party because they had no foundation were a little flustered.

However, taking advantage of this precarious moment in the plane of Klein, first there was the invasion of underground dark creatures on the surface, and then there was the worrying invasion of Ahn'Qiraj Zerg, which greatly involved the energy and energy of the large local forces headed by the Mage Guild. strength.

Under the condition that the foreign aggression has not been eliminated, it is not in the interests of the local forces to turn the barely stable Klein Continent upside down. Therefore, whether it is bribed and used, or tolerated and raised, in short, the identity of half of the aboriginals in the large cemetery has been recognized by everyone.

However, just when everyone thought that the "closer" Mage Guild would unite with the Necropolis to fight against the Ahn'Qiraj Zerg, and then join forces to deal with several major church organizations, this sensational news suddenly spread.

The Mages Guild has declared war on the Necropolis!

For a moment, all the countries, organizations, and forces on the Klein Continent were shocked, and they began to secretly inquire about the reason for the hostility between the two forces.

And the gossip they inquired about was even more terrifying.

Just before the two major forces turned against each other, an extremely serious hostage-taking incident occurred in the core area where the headquarters of the Mage Guild was located. And the hostage that was hijacked turned out to be... a legendary lich!

Yes, you heard it right, the guy who was kidnapped like a weak girl turned out to be a legendary lich!

Everyone who heard the news would have a sense of absurdity that they had gone insane. When has this world developed to such a crazy point? Even a legendary lich couldn't protect his own safety, and was robbed near the heavily guarded seven-ring tower!

Although some sources claimed that the legendary powerhouses involved in the hijacking were all mind flayers, for some reason, the Mage Guild still unanimously pointed their finger at the Great Cemetery, which was actively fighting against the Zerg in the Elven Continent.

And this is not the most terrifying event. According to some news from within the mage guild, a battle of legends broke out at the Seven Rings meeting, and some legends fell directly!

If this news is true, it means that within a day, the Mage Guild lost two legends, one disappeared and the other fell!

No wonder the Mages Guild became so furious.

Losing two legends in one day is an unbearable blow to any faction. Of course, the legendary mages will be holding back their evil fire, and they will find an outsider to vent their anger.

But is it appropriate to vent the evil fire on the Great Cemetery at this time?

It was only when this question came to the attention of the crowd, that they were horrified to discover a fact. That large cemetery foolishly put most of its strength in the Elf Continent!

There is such a stupid force these days?

Some "smart people" who think they understand something can't help but be overwhelmed. The launch timing chosen by the Mage Guild is really excellent.

First of all, most of the troops in the large cemetery were involved in the Elven Continent, where they were fighting the Zergs to death. Even if they were dispatched by the master of the cemetery, they might not be able to return in time in a short time. So for the Great Cemetery, the only thing that can be done is to transfer those legendary undead back to Klein Continent first.

And this might fall right into the trap of the Mage Guild.

The Elf Continent has lost the protection of the legendary undead. How can the hundreds of thousands of undead compete with the tens of millions of insects? I'm afraid their only ending is to be swallowed up by the sea of ​​insects, becoming the second elite army to be wiped out by the established system after the kingdom of the elves.

Secondly, it is said that the integration of the large cemetery and the Novus Principality is not smooth, and the local human dignitaries and spellcasters keep making small moves secretly.

If the main elite army of the Great Cemetery is successfully consumed in the Elven Continent, then the Novis and the former Morrord Kingdom territory it currently occupies will probably have to be forced to spit it out in the end.

The more they calculated, the more conspirators felt that the Mages Guild's declaration of war on the Great Cemetery at this moment was simply meaningful. Thinking of themselves and others, many people can't help but secretly wonder if the two legends lost by the Mage Guild are just losers in internal struggles, and the Great Cemetery is simply lying on the ground!

What's more, many human dignitaries with ulterior motives couldn't help suspecting that the Mage Guild's high-profile announcement of war with the Great Cemetery was most likely related to the "immortality experiment" that had just been verified a while ago.

Could it be that the legendary mages of the Mage Guild are coveting those coffins of soul energy, wanting to take these things as their own, and then try to control all the heads of the kingdom?

Compared with the bits and pieces that shine on the table, everyone is actually more willing to believe in the things hidden under the table.

Conspiracy, big conspiracy!

Many of the kingdom's dignitaries and heads of forces have smelled a strong taste of conspiracy from it.

Good method for the mage guild! This large cemetery is about to be pitted to death!

…………

No one cares about the turmoil of the mundane world.

For Li Xun, his goal in every step is very clear, and what he is doing now is for the faster and better development of the Great Cemetery.

If the large cemetery wants to develop rapidly and expansively, it must absorb the nutrients from others. And the Mage Guild is extremely powerful, and it is obvious that sooner or later it will become the strongest competitor of the Great Cemetery.

Originally, Li Xun didn't want the Great Cemetery to fall into an irreversible confrontation with the Mage Guild so early on. But things are unpredictable! Everything that has happened recently, every plan, has driven the necropolis to the point where it has to make a choice.

The Zerg demigod in the Elven Continent will soon find a way to revive the War Brood, and the mind flayers who cooperate with the Great Cemetery also have ulterior motives. Only ghosts believe that they made such a major sacrifice for the safety of the Klein plane!

After discussions among the high-level officials in the cemetery, they unanimously doubted whether the supreme mastermind hiding behind the mind flayer had some means to snatch control of the war brood from the Zerg general. If this suspicion is true, I am afraid that the Supreme Mind's claim that it chose to join forces with the Necropolis only to kill the Zerg General is false.

It is most likely just using the Great Cemetery as a stepping stone, and its target is actually the same as the Great Cemetery, the weakest war brood that has just been resurrected!
