The Rise of the Cemetery

"This is just his one-sided statement, and we need to verify it immediately! Before confirming it, the defense level of Thunder Fortress will immediately enter a wartime state, and we must make sufficient preparations."

"There is a holy necromancer there! How to prove it? If the proof is true, but we startled the snake, wouldn't we lose a great opportunity to dampen the strength of the Undead Council?"

The two legendary mages immediately had a heated conversation. All the archmages present were not qualified to intervene in the discussions of the legendary mages, and could only wait for the legendary mage's consultation or orders.

"One of the two of us must go there in person, you see..." Mage Xingchen wondered.

"I'll go! My injuries are completely healed, and it's not a problem to take down a holy mage. But these undead have many ways to save their lives, and the resurrection tricks are even more varied. I can't guarantee that I can keep him intact. !” The legendary mage Troo didn’t refuse, and he was willing to do something to pick off some carrion from the undead.

It is said that it has not been verified, but the news from Angelet, the new strong psion, is still 70 to 80% sure that it is true. Therefore, Trot completely treated this holy-level necromancer Lux as a strong man of the same level. Even if his soul cannot be completely annihilated, his physical body must be left here and let him fall into a period of weakness for several months.

Of course, he must also be prepared that this is a trap for the undead, and prepare himself the means of escape in advance.

After explaining some solutions in a few words, Trolo immediately set off from the city of Valencia where he was located to somewhere in the Whispering Forest mentioned by Angelet, and the star mage Katie Erni was also ready to meet him. The archmages in various places are strictly guarding the core area of ​​the principality, waiting for the final result.

Of course, this decision was also notified by Archmage Andaurus to Grand Duke Novis and Prince Antria, and the knights and garrison troops across the Principality also began urgent mobilization. A 1,200-member Knights of the Principality were transferred to the vicinity of Naya City overnight, and moved closer to the location of Dayan Village.

That night.

As soon as the last ray of sunlight disappeared from the top of the forest, Dayan Village fell into a dark and dead silence.

Two days ago, Master Jack's servant had a secret meeting with the head of Moke in Dayan Village. So the next day, all the villagers went to the former lord Sir Hanwick's manor to attend the celebration banquet of Master Jack under the soft-hearted and half-forced by the village head of Mok.

Dayan Village, which had been evacuated, was taken over by a private guard of Sir Hanwick, who was responsible for the safety of the villagers' property while they were out. As a result, a small village with nearly a hundred people now only has a lord's guard of 10 people left.

Although the lord's guard knew nothing about the real situation behind it, it did not prevent them from obtaining corresponding information from this unprecedented horror scene. These recruits, who were not even considered regular troops, who had just dropped their dung forks and hoes for less than a year, dared to come out to patrol at night, they all gathered in a small wooden house and shivered around the firepit.

"Master's stone pagoda has been attacked!" A recruit of the guard couldn't hold back his fear and started talking first.

"You don't need to say that, we all know it." The captain of the guard scolded angrily, with a cup of hot soup in his hand, he couldn't remember to drink it for a long time.

"What are we guarding here? How much are these country bumpkins' dilapidated wooden houses and smelly huts worth? We must be left here to mold and harden." Another recruit couldn't help interjecting.

The captain of the guard sighed, pointed to the north, and whispered: "There is something there! Before those big men came, we were the unlucky ones who guarded the forest."

"In the woods? What's in the Whispering Forest? Could it be that some monsters have come out?..."

Immediately, miscellaneous inquiries flooded out, and for a while, no one in the room knew who was talking.

"Shut up!" The captain of the guard yelled angrily in a low voice, making a gesture of listening: "Listen, is there any movement outside?"

The captain's words immediately blew like a gust of cold wind, freezing everyone's words in their throats. Everyone listened attentively. Apart from the whistling night wind outside the house, there was only the slight sound of branches and leaves scraping against the roof.

"Captain, did you hear it wrong? There is no sound outside!" A distorted voice sounded.

As soon as the voice fell, a clear and distinct clang sound came from a distance.

Everyone was startled, and the veterans with rich experience had already heard that it was the sound of wild beast claws clawing at the wooden board. Before they were ready, there was a creaking sound from the wooden house above them, and a lot of dust rustled down the cracks in the planks.

There's something on the roof!

This clear recognition made everyone in the room shudder, and they all covered their mouths to avoid exclaiming. Seeing the captain gently and silently drew out the long sword from his waist, he quickly gathered his weapon in his hands like a dream, and looked nervously at the entrances and exits of the wooden house. If it wasn't for the fear of disturbing the unknown outside, they would even want to extinguish the fire pit inside the house.

Gradually, the noise around the cabin became more frequent. All kinds of running, jumping, and scraping noises continued, and the outside turned out to be a meeting place for unknown creatures.

Under the captain's signal, the two recruits put out the fire one by one. The captain tiptoed to one side of the wall, and tried his best to find a gap in the wooden board to peep out. Finally, he gently opened a small hole in a crack at the corner of the wall, and saw the scene outside.

To be honest, he might as well not have looked at it!

Seeing it at a glance, it is destined to become a nightmare that he will never get rid of in the future!

In the bright moonlight, Dayan Village has become the world of strange creatures. At a glance, there are one or two hundred vigorous figures jumping back and forth in the houses and open spaces, stopping and sniffing here and there from time to time, as if looking for something.

At first glance, the captain thought they were all savages. After all, in addition to being stronger, more muscular, and more flexible in movement, these creatures that shuttle back and forth are physically like crawling humans. But when a strange creature stopped in the open space 5 steps away from him, the captain finally saw the face of "him".

My God, what a monster this is!

They were indeed human, like a fully flayed human being. There is not much skin, and the bright red, tangled and strong muscles underneath are directly exposed. The fibrous muscle strips run through the whole body, which not only brings them great strength, but also gives them full flexibility.

As the head turned, two deep will-o'-the-wisps blazed in the deep-set eye sockets, and the bloody mouth almost ran to the back of the head, revealing the gleaming sharp fangs and the snake-like retractable long tongue. The one-meter-long hairless tail behind him seemed to be composed of bones and muscles, and there was a faint sound of wind when it flicked.

As if his gaze had aroused the vigilance of the strange beast, the prostrate figure suddenly turned his head and glanced at the wooden house. The captain quickly covered the hole, turned his head and bit his arm fiercely. Only with the help of this piercing pain, he could stop the exclamation that almost blurted out.

After a long while, the captain adjusted his mentality, and only after he had stabilized his breathing did he remove his palm, and then moved back to the crevice to peek out secretly.

The strange beast just now had disappeared, but the figures jumping around from far and near became more and more frequent. Although the houses in Dayan Village are not very tall, they are still more than 3 meters long. For these strange beasts, they only need a vertical jump, and they can turn over on the wooden wall with a slight force.

From the strength and agility they displayed, only 2-3 of them can destroy their lord guard. After all, recruits who have never experienced war will most likely turn around and run away in fright when encountering such a fierce-looking beast, and the back of the neck will be easily bitten off by the opponent. In the 10-member lord's guard, he and the deputy captain were the only ones who had some combat experience. After all, the two of them were promoted after going through the previous battles to suppress bandits, while the rest of them were complete recruits. It is estimated that many of them have never seen blood.

Thoughts were still going on, a pair of blood-red will-o'-the-wisps suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and his breath could be heard close to him, separated only by a thin layer of wood.

It's the monster's eye, found!

Almost in the blink of an eye, the captain of the guard instinctively leaned back, and the fine steel long sword tightly packed in his right hand has already stabbed out, piercing through the wooden planks and ruthlessly piercing into the middle of the two balls of will-o'-the-wisps.

A scream of "Aww" resounded suddenly outside the house, which instantly alarmed many strange beasts coming and going in Dayan Village. Countless figures jumped up in the air, constantly borrowing strength from the wooden house and thatched shed, and almost completely surrounded the wooden house within a few fingers.

Under the command of the captain in a hurry, the people in the house quickly blocked several main entrances and exits with a small amount of furniture, gathered their weapons tightly and formed a circle near the firepit, tremblingly waiting for the unknown fate.

"Crack" "Crack"...

The sound of cracking boards could be heard from all over the wooden house, and strange beasts were scratching and crashing almost everywhere. A gap has been opened in some unstable places, and the steaming heat exhaled by the alien beast rushed in through the gap, and pairs of ghostly ghosts stared at the crowd through the gap, and the low "woo woo" roar rang through the silent environment. world.

All the people in the room were pale and trembling. If they hadn't been leaning on each other to support each other, some of them would have been unable to withstand the sinister atmosphere and fled with their heads in their arms.

There were a few loud clicks, and the wooden boards on the roof were crushed through several large holes through which the moon disk in the sky could be seen. The bright moonlight quietly shone on everyone, but it couldn't bring them the slightest tranquility. A few vigorous and flexible beasts rolled in gently, their limbs' sharp claws tightly grasping the board, wandering on the ceiling and walls as if walking on flat ground, staring deeply at a certain target with faint eyes, From time to time, there was a low growl.
