A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 405 Will we win?

 …

“Matthew? Is that the necromancer Matthew?”

“It seems to be him. There have been rumors that he has a close relationship with Rolling Stone.”

"Which Matthew are you talking about? I have only heard of a tree-planting mage before, and his name is also Matthew."

“I don’t know, but in the northern city-states, Matthew the Destroyer’s name is more famous...”

 In the hall.

 Representatives of the major city-states whispered.

 After experiencing a series of events, the name Matthew has become legendary.

Even ordinary civilians have heard of it, not to mention that these are considered representatives of the upper class in major city-states.

certainly.

ˆDue to the distribution area.

Everyone hears different legends about Matthew.

 This resulted in a skewed impression of Matthew in the minds of the representatives.

  No matter what.

The shadow of a famous tree, a mage from Rolling Stone Town, can be famous thousands of miles away, which itself is enough to explain a lot of things.

 Plus he is a member of the Seven Saints Alliance.

 Everyone had an expression of respect on their faces.

Matthew’s words are quite convincing.

“Sir Matthew, we don’t want to cause trouble, we just heard about this sudden news and want to confirm the specific situation with you.”

“After all, the invasion of demons is a matter of life and death for many of our cities. I hope you can understand.”

　　A representative from a chubby northern city-state took the initiative to stand up and smooth things over.

Matthew said calmly:

  “Understandable.”

"If you still have concerns, you can leave on your own, but I must remind you that there are indeed many demons active outside the city. It may be more dangerous to leave now."

“As for the founding ceremony of the Rolling Stone Kingdom, everything is going on as usual for now, and we have the ability to solve all emergencies.”

 Finish this.

 He then turned around and walked deeper into the hall.

 It happens to be at this time.

 Sif, dressed in fine clothes, walked down the corridor.

 Matthew met her face to face.

 Sif's dress today was quite stunning and attracted a lot of people's attention.

Many men, especially young men, are looking at each other longingly, hoping that the princess of the Rolling Stone Kingdom can take a look at them.

 However, to their disappointment.

 Sif's attention was always on Matthew.

“They are in the council chamber in the next building, the one near the watchtower.”

As soon as Sif saw Matthew, she knew his purpose and whispered a reminder.

 Matthew nodded.

“Hurry over there, my father and Uncle Zeller are waiting for you.”

Today Sif is as gentle as a little sheep, speaking softly and wishing she could put her mouth in Matthew's ear:

 “Just leave it to me.”

 Matthew felt a little relieved.

 At critical moments, Sif is still very reliable, and she knows what she should do.

  If there is no one around Rhaegar to take charge.

It may be difficult for representatives of these foreign city-states to calm down.

 In this case.

 Only Sif is the most suitable to come forward to comfort.

Matthew glanced back at the crowd and found that little Paton was among them, and he felt a little relieved.

 He and Little Patton looked at each other.

 After that, he suddenly took a deep look at Moreira, the lord of Red Earth Mountain.

 The latter trembled.

The pupils contracted violently.

 Matthew left without looking back.

Sif watched Matthew's figure disappear into the corridor.

 When she turned around.

 The gentle and sweet smile on his face suddenly turned into a cold and elegant expression.

 She took the initiative to talk to the representatives.

Sif's posture and etiquette are impeccable, and she is also very mature in dealing with others, giving people a feeling of being valued.

 Comparable to the previous conversation with Matthew.

 Her body always exudes a vague sense of alienation.

It is precisely because of this unique temperament that makes Sif look even more charming.

 Many city-state representatives subconsciously hoped to chat with her for a while.

It's a pity that Sif treats everyone equally.

Everyone took care of a few words, but only a few words.

 Completed the round of chatting.

Sif graciously expressed her intention to leave for now.

 When walking to the corridor.

She saw the young Lord of the Red Earth Mountain covering his lower back with his shirt and walking towards the locker room with weird movements.

 Sif took a step forward.

Little Patton suddenly appeared next to him:

 “Matthew has taught him a lesson.”

Sif smiled slightly, her eyes narrowed into a crescent shape:

 “That share belongs to Matthew.”

  "My retainers should be trained by myself."

 When saying this.

 Her body exudes an awe-inspiring temperament.

Little Paton shrank his head and quickly got out of the way:

 “Remember not to go too far.”

"I mean... at least let him live, right?"

Sif hummed and walked away.

 The west side of the hall.

 VIP locker room.

Morella put on a new set of clothes, but his face was clouded.

He looked at the soaked pants on the ground with hatred on his face.

“It is the mind-catching gaze, a standard necromancer method that can shock a person’s soul and amplify the fear in your heart.”

An old mage next to Moreira said seriously:

 “Master Matthew has shown mercy.”

Morella said angrily:

 “Why did he treat me like this?!”

 “I didn’t say anything wrong!”

 “I just asked the same question as everyone else!”

 The old mage remained silent.

Perhaps knowing that he was not qualified to argue with Matthew, Moreira directly pointed the finger at the old mage:

 “What did you say before you came?”

“You said you are very good at protective spells and can protect my safety!”

"Actually? You were standing by while I was being tortured by the Necromancer! Forget about losing my face, the glory of Red Earth Mountain has been destroyed today!"

 The more he spoke, the angrier he became, his face turned the color of pig liver, and he punched the closet several times.

 There was minor damage to the wardrobe.

The old mage whispered:

 “Not many people noticed just now…”

Soon a wry smile appeared on his face:

"And I'm just a wild mage. I heard that the other party is a disciple of the Seven Saints..."

Morella said irritably:

 “I don’t want to hear these excuses!”

"Can you do it? If you can't do it, get out!"

A shadow flashed in the old mage's eyes, but he still said in a deep voice:

 “As long as it’s not against Matthew.”

 “I can protect you.”

Morella stamped her foot bitterly:

 “You’d better do it!”

The voice fell.

 The door to the dressing room was suddenly pushed open.

  The old mage instinctively made a warning posture, but when he saw the person coming clearly, he relaxed slightly.

 “Miss Sif?”

Morella was a little surprised.

 He pulled on his clothes, trying to look neater.

 His impression of Sif is still very good.

However, Sif's eyes were serious and cold:

 “First, call me princess.”

 “Second, you smashed my favorite wardrobe!”

She pointed to the shabby wardrobe next to her and said.

Morella’s face was filled with astonishment:

 “Then I’ll buy one…”

  Before he could finish his words, a sharp pain came from the roof of his mouth.

 Crack!

Morella’s front teeth were knocked out by Sif’s punch!

 “Stop!”

 The old mage next to him finally realized what he was doing and raised the staff in his hand.

 “You want to do something to me too?”

 Sif sneered.

 A few seconds later.

 There were a few wails and slight movements in the locker room.

 Less than thirty seconds.

 Sif walked out of the dressing room gracefully.

Hands also held two uniquely shaped spittoons.

 She just carried two spittoons and arrived at the hall where the representatives were.

 Then he placed them next to the sofa.

Little Patton came up again:

“You didn’t do anything to them, did you?”

 Sif showed an innocent look:

 “Do I seem to be such a fierce woman?”

Patton shuddered and didn't dare to say anything.

Sif lifted up her skirt slightly and walked away with ladylike steps.

Little Patton looked at the sofa:

"Huh?"

 “Why haven’t I seen this spittoon before?”

“But it’s quite appropriate to put it here…”

 Finished.

He spat in with a loud sound.

 The spittoon twitched slightly.

When the other guests saw this, they followed suit and rummaged through the trash and threw it into the spittoon.

 It didn’t take long.

The two spittoons were filled to the brim.

 …

  New chamber.

Matthew quickly walked through a simply decorated corridor and came to the temporary tactical command room.

 There are several crystal **** placed in the room.

 The crystal ball displays the image information observed by the observation tower in real time—

That is the situation in the northeast of the Rolling Stone Kingdom.

 There are already many people standing in the meeting hall.

 Rega, Zeller, Richard and others are in close discussions.

 As soon as Matthew walked in.

Everyone looked at him with concern.

"How to say?"

Rhaegar, who had already put on full body armor, came forward with a serious face.

 Because before Matthew passed the gas with them.

 So everyone also guessed that the demons might come to cause trouble, but they didn't expect that there would be such a big battle.     According to normal thinking.

 The founding ceremony should be postponed.

Everyone must fight the coming demonic invasion with all their strength.

However, Matthew’s stance was extremely firm:

“Ask your troops to go up to the north wall, prepare two cavalry and fire bat soldiers, and let them guard the side of the secret door, ready to support at any time.”

“The Southern Division Division Corps and my troops will become the main force on the frontal battlefield. You only need to assist in defense and delay when necessary.”

“There is no need to postpone the founding ceremony. We can also let the representatives of those city-states see our strength.”

Everyone was surprised when they heard this.

“The number of demons coming this time is quite large...”

 Richard couldn't help but remind him.

Matthew smiled:

“Necromancers are never afraid of too many enemies.”

Zeller nodded slightly:

 “We believe in you.”

 “Just do as you say.”

Rhaegar only hesitated for a few seconds, and then patted Matthew heavily on the shoulder.

“Then it’s up to you to lay out the specific combat plan.”

Rhaegar placed the map around Rolling Stone City in front of Matthew.

Matthew shook his head:

“I don’t know anything about military affairs, so it’s up to you to decide on the defense plan for Rolling Stone City.”

"You only need to know that after the first round of fighting, the morale of the demons will inevitably drop to freezing point. They will have sporadic and small groups approaching the walls of Rolling Stone City. You only need to eliminate them. This should not be difficult. ”

“As for after the first round, as long as there are no big surprises, the demons should not be able to touch the walls of Rolling Stone City.”

 Everyone looked at each other in shock.

What Matthew said is really unbelievable. If it were anyone else, they would be scolded for being fanciful.

 But because he is Matthew.

 He is a mage.

 Everyone could only nod silently.

"But we must be prepared to fight the devil for a long time."

Matthew reminded:

“The demon lord Eisner seems to have a stable channel to invade the material world. Demonic armies may appear regularly in the northeast in the future.”

“It just so happens that the Southern Magistrate Corps may have the deepest understanding of demons in the world. When assisting in defensive operations, it is best for our own troops to take the opportunity to learn more about their methods.”

Rhaegar understood.

Soon he asked again:

“Then I will inform the people below that the ceremony will continue as usual?”

“Let representatives from other city-states also go to the viewing platform?”

Matthew thought for a while:

“Anyway, today is the first day, and what they go to the viewing platform to watch is a warm-up program, so why not let them go directly to the city wall!”

“Well, those who are brave can go up to the city wall, and those who are timid can invite them to the watchtower.”

“I just prepared a program for this ceremony. No one has cooperated with this program before, but now it is available, let everyone come and see it!”

 Finished.

 He explained a few more details to Rega and others, and then hurriedly left the meeting hall.

　　Then Matthew summoned the wild ghost Sanger and handed a makeshift letter into his hands.

“Send to Jade Sky Court quickly. If you can’t find Terraste, go to Biana. If you can’t find either of them, go to Terrani. You know their address.”

 Matthew’s serious advice.

 The tauren spirit patted its chest and said:

“Are you looking for reinforcements? Don’t worry, I’m the best at this.”

“When the Tauren tribe perished, I was responsible for finding reinforcements. As a result, I accidentally ended up in the underworld while running away. It’s a pity. If I hadn’t gone the wrong way, I might have been able to find reinforcements…”

Matthew was speechless.

 After sending Sanger away.

 He went to the Sanctuary of Life and the Cemetery successively, and met with Obest and Ali respectively.

 He said to Obest:

“Evacuate everyone, move closer to Rolling Stone City, and prepare to fight against a small group of demon deserters.”

 As for Ali.

 Matthew’s command was even simpler:

 “Mobilize all.”

 “Ready to take off!”

 …

 In the afternoon.

There are many more figures on the northern wall of Rolling Stone City.

There are many daring figures among the representatives of major city-states, and at least half of them expressed their willingness to climb the city wall to see how Matthew, the guardian of the Rolling Stone Kingdom, prepares to fight against the demon army.

Their boldness is not without reason.

Haven’t you seen that Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Rolling Stone Kingdom is also standing with them?

 Compared to the city wall.

 The number of people near the city gate is even denser.

 Although the garrison has been evacuating, trying to move the civilians watching the excitement from the north to the south.

 The festive atmosphere of celebration is there.

 The manpower of the garrison is limited.

There are still many civilians moving around the city wall, and some even want to climb up the city wall to have a closer look -

Noon.

 News about the possible invasion of the demon army into Rolling Stone City has already spread.

 But most people are still very optimistic.

 Mainly because of the city wall of Rolling Stone City, which is more than 20 meters high, it gives people a strong sense of security.

 It is said that this is only the prototype of the construction of the Southern Magistrate Corps.

 The real city wall will be extended many times on this basis!

Even so.

The sense of security brought by the high wall and the prestige established by the Rolling Stone Kingdom in the Battle of Moss Green Hills still stabilize the hearts of the people in the city.

 Especially when rumors spread.

Lord Matthew, the guardian of the Rolling Stone Kingdom, will personally take action to defeat the demon army.

More people rushed toward the city wall out of curiosity.

 At this moment.

 Many people gathered near the outer three levels of the city wall.

They were discussing the topic of demonic invasion enthusiastically, as if they didn't even realize how terrifying the monsters they were talking about were!

 Feeling this incredible emotion.

Barton on the city wall once again showed an envious expression.

 It can be very fast.

 He was attracted by the black shadow appearing in the northeast!

 The endless wasteland began to tremble slightly.

 As the sun gradually sets in the west.

 A demon with a ferocious face rushed over from the horizon.

 Barton's expression was extremely serious.

 As someone who experienced the Battle of Wild Wolf Mountain, he is the most qualified person to express his feelings about fighting the devil.

at the same time.

After that fiasco, he also learned as much as possible about the devil.

 His eyes are very good.

 It didn’t take long to read a lot of useful information from the first demons that appeared!

“The vanguard of the demon army actually consists of four legions?”

“This shows that the number of coalition forces behind them is more than twenty legions!”

 “The core of every legion is the Great Demon Overseer.”

"The four great demon governors of the advance team kept a good distance from each other. Although the demons are chaotic in nature and difficult to restrain, the four legions were able to maintain relative order as a whole when marching. This is already very good. It’s rare…”

Barton shared his views in a low voice with the two companions beside him.

 Gavin’s expression was also solemn.

 He seemed to feel Barton's despair on the battlefield at Wild Wolf Mountain.

 Alena was even more beautiful.

She has already begun to think about how to escape from the hands of these hideous and ugly demons if Rolling Stone City is destroyed!

　　咚!

　　咚!

　　咚!

 From the other side of the horizon, the thundering sound of war drums could be heard.

 The sound of the drums is not dense.

 But it hits the heart directly.

Everyone who heard the drums felt as if their heart had been struck hard.

That feeling is extremely depressing.

soon.

The originally relatively calm and calm atmosphere above and below the city wall became solemn and depressing.

 Some city-state representatives silently withdrew their city walls.

Even if you are still standing there.

 The complexion often becomes unpleasant.

"very scary…"

 “Each demon is as tall as two people?”

 “I heard they can fly?”

 “How can we keep this?”

 Such whispers came from up and down the city walls.

Barton looked at Princess Sif who was standing at the front.

He wanted to see even a hint of worry on the other person's face.

 But no.

 Sif had a faint smile on her face from beginning to end.

 She really doesn’t seem to be afraid of those demons.

Barton frowned.

He doesn’t understand where Sif’s confidence comes from?

 Just the necromancer who hasn’t become a legend yet?

 Barton knew that Matthew was very strong.

but.

Can a mage really resist these demons from the abyss?

"ah-!"

Just when Barton was frowning and thinking hard.

 There was a sudden scream above his head.

 A child fell from the watchtower above the city wall!

 Fortunately, Barton has quick eyesight and quick hands.

 He rushed over and hugged him firmly.

The child fell into Barton's arms, his face still in shock, stumbling and unable to say a word.

Barton looked up.

I guessed that the child wanted to climb up the tower out of curiosity to see what the demons the adults said looked like, but was frightened by the momentum of the demon army and accidentally fell down.

 The moment.

 He put the child firmly on the city wall:

 “Go back to your family, kid.”

 “It’s not safe here.”

 The child nodded in confusion.

 He turned stiffly and prepared to leave.

 It was not a few steps away.

 He ran back again:

 “Sir, I saw those demons…”

 “Can we really win?”

 Barton was speechless for a moment.

 He didn't know how to answer, so he could only choose to remain silent.

 The child seemed to understand something, lowered his head and wanted to run away.

 But at this moment.

 Everyone on the city wall suddenly discovered—

 The sky became overcast.

No!

 It’s not that the sky has turned cloudy.

 But something appeared in the sky, blocking the sun's light!

 They raised their heads instinctively, and then opened their mouths in unison.

that moment.

　　All residents of Rolling Stone City and representatives from other city-states showed stunned expressions.

 They looked dreamily in the direction above their heads.

There…

 It’s a mountain!

The mountain is densely covered with tombstones!

 …

I’m sorry, I’ve had severe insomnia these past two days, and I’ve developed symptoms of palpitation and shortness of breath. I’ve had similar symptoms before, probably myocarditis, and my physical condition is really not good, so I can only write as much as I can. In fact, I also want to finish this paragraph in one go, because this kind of scene must have a lot of foreshadowing and side descriptions. If the number of words is smaller, everyone will feel uncomfortable. I can understand your criticism, but I can only It can be written like this, but if there is not enough side and foreshadowing, the final result will be boring. The main reason is that there is less, my fault. I worked hard to adjust for two days, and I will try to make up for the word count I owed before. I apologize again and kowtow!
