Banner of the Evil God

Tessa was stunned by her brother's sudden hug, and then a slight blush appeared on her face - for a half-dead person, this expression was as rare as a sloth running, almost "impossible" within the category.

She originally wanted to express her attitude with strong actions to hide her true emotions, but she couldn't help but hesitate and was reluctant to give up this rare opportunity. So when I was in a dilemma, I heard Tu Yaan's words.

"Ah?" At this moment, she really said "I don't know what expression to use", "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Tuyan didn't understand the true meaning of his sister's words at all, and said with a smile: "I just got the inspiration. What do you think necromancy can do? The most common one is to awaken or create the undead! It has no entity. Just ghosts and the like, like physical skeletons, zombies, and even living corpses... They are all honest and obedient. Although they have low intelligence, they absolutely obey their master's orders, no matter what. Such orders are given without any hesitation or delay. Aren’t these subordinates the best cheap workers?”

The more he spoke, the more proud he became: "In recent times, I have also conducted a detailed investigation of the current situation in Void City and the Northwest Republic. The biggest problem here is the scarcity of workers. Whether farming, working or developing, all require a large number of manpower, but why? The number of homeless people that can be recruited is getting smaller and smaller, and it simply cannot meet the demand.”

"In this case, don't you think it's an opportunity for our necromancy skills to show off?" He said happily, "Imagine leaving all those boring and simple tasks to the undead, and the living people only need to Just be responsible for commanding the undead. Wouldn’t that increase the number of workers all at once?”

Tessa originally really wanted to give her brother a good beating to punish him for his imprudent behavior and to relieve her troubled girlish heart. But after all, she is a person who knows the importance of things. After hearing this, she temporarily put aside Tu Yaan's previous mistakes and seriously considered the matter.

"The undead need to be created using spells." She thought for a moment and said, "Spells have a cost, and the cost is not low."

"Necromancy is almost the lowest cost among all kinds of spells." Tuyan shook his head, "I don't want to create those mid-to-high-level necromancers, I just want to create those low-level ones. With my strength, As long as I have enough materials, I can create at least two to three thousand in one day. If you give me ten days and a half, I can launch an army of tens of thousands of undead."

He was absolutely right, and this was the real reason why the Necromancer was feared by many countries.

In this world, the most unsettling spell for rulers is necromancy. The most critical reason is that necromancy can quickly create a large number of armies. Although the combat effectiveness of a single unit may be weaker, this kind of army is loyal and brave, and will carry out the orders of the master to the letter, even if it faces the entire army. There will be no hesitation or fear in the crisis of annihilation. Once they reach scale, they are the most fearsome army in the world.

In the past history, there have been more than one situation where legendary level necromancers launched an army of necromancers and declared war on a certain country for some reason. Unless enough strong men are found to form a team to eliminate him, the country will be defeated every time. As far as the frontal battlefield is concerned, facing the undead army, the living army has not been able to win even once.

This is also an important reason why Tuyan wanted to become a necromancer back then - only by becoming a powerful necromancer can he be sure of revenge.

Of course, the more important reason is poverty. To save his dying sister, all other spells except necromancy would require a lot of money, and what he lacked most was money.

Tessa's situation was not really irreparable. If he had enough money, he could even directly find a large temple, donate a huge sum of money, and ask the chief priest to use powerful magic to cure Tessa—— The reason why he was saved was that his adoptive father, his father's classmate when he was a student, donated more than half of his family property and requested treatment from the Temple of Wealth.

Tu Ya'an was not good at making money, and he was not sure that he would become a high-level mage, so he had to settle for the next best thing and try to treat his sister by himself.

Among all the treatments, the only one he could possibly afford was necromancy.

So he became a necromancer.

If he had known that he could actually become a legendary mage, he would not have chosen this direction!

A legendary mage, not to mention wealth, just asking for favors is enough to ask most temples to help cure Tessa...

Over the years, Tuyan has regretted his original choice more than once. But now, he is very happy that he chose the path of the Necromancer.

For the Northwest Republic at this moment, the most helpful thing is necromancy!

However, this time he, a legendary necromancer who has been called the "Lord of the Undead" and the "Scavenger of Death" in legends, does not want to gather an army to attack a certain country, but to forge swords into plowshares. Mobilize the undead army to participate in national construction and become the largest labor exporter in the Northwest Republic.

He believes that there may be experts stronger than him in the Northwest Republic and the Church of the Void Mask, and there may be more than one, but when it comes to labor force... Hehe, hehehe, if other legendary strongmen come together, they will be better than him. But his own undead army!

Don’t forget, this is the Ash Forest, the place with the richest undead resources in the world. Although most of them are only skeletons of the lowest level, skeletons are also laborers!

The strength of a skeleton is weaker than that of a strong living person. In one-on-one combat, even an ordinary farmer can knock it down. But when it comes to work, a skeleton is much better than a farmer - farmers need to eat and rest, while skeletons can even work non-stop all day long as long as they replenish their magic power and repair wear and tear regularly.

Of course, in the sun, skeletons will be damaged by the positive energy contained in the sun, but this is not difficult to solve, as long as the skeletons work at night.

Because of the negative energy contained in the Ash Forest itself, not only will these skeletons working at night not be worn out, but they will continue to absorb negative energy and become stronger and stronger!

The more Tu Ya'an thought about it, the more proud he became. He confessed to his sister and hurried out to visit Sui Xiong at the Void Mask Temple.

He successfully met Sui Xiong and told him his plan.

Sui Xiong was so shocked that he never thought that necromancy could be used like this!

But after careful consideration, he found that this method was really feasible.

Not only that, this approach even has additional benefits.

For the pioneers of the Ash Forest, the greatest danger is the attack by the skeleton army on the last night of the lunar month. But the skeleton army cannot appear out of thin air. They actually come from the corpses of countless creatures that have died in the Ash Forest over the years. This number is large and staggering, but with Tuyan, the legendary necromancer, it won't take long to transform all the corpses in a large area into skeletons under his control, thus completely annihilating this area. There is a danger of a "skeleton siege" breaking out in the area.

Not to mention anything else, just for this reason, it is worth asking him to do it!

But when Sui Xiong thought about it again, he couldn't help but frown.

Satan, the head of the mage group of Masked Void Church, has been working on ways to purify negative energy in recent years. His plan is to build a huge purification circle that can cover the entire Ash Forest, transforming this restricted area of ​​life into a northern paradise with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Of course Tuyan's idea was a good one, but it conflicted with Satan's plan.

Sui Xiong would not unreasonably favor Satan just because he joined him earlier. But in the long run, whether it is to allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, or to restore the properties of the Ash Forest, Satan's plan is obviously more reasonable.

A northwest republic with beautiful mountains and clear waters is better than a northwest republic with skeletons everywhere.

If nothing else, who wants to deal with skeletons all day long?

He hesitated before speaking out these thoughts.

Tuyan was silent. Although in terms of status, as a mage who was close to the middle level of the legend, his status should be higher than that of Satan, who had not yet entered the legendary realm. But he understood that His Majesty the Void Mask's consideration was Correct. For the civilians of the Northwest Republic, even if skeletons could become a good labor force, they would not be willing to work with skeletons all day long.

"Sorry, I was a little careless." Finally, he sighed deeply and said, "You are right, even I would not have chosen to be a person who deals with skeletons all day if it were not for my fate. Necromancer. Even for me, let alone ordinary civilians... my thoughts are still too simple and naive. I'm sorry for wasting your time."

Sui Xiong saw his frustrated look and advised: "Your idea is actually very useful. At least for now, it can be of great use to the Northwest Republic. As for the future... let's talk about the future in the future. Even in the future There’s no need for these skeletons anymore, at least they were useful once, right?”

Tu Ya'an then turned from worry to joy and started laughing again.

"You're right, let's talk about the future in the future. Even if the Northwest Republic doesn't need me in the future, at least I can play a role now and be able to contribute to you now, which is better than being unable to do anything at all!"

As he spoke, he clenched his fists, his eyes glowed with strong confidence again, and his expression became urgent.

There is not much time left for him, so he must seize the time and make some results quickly!
