Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight

"What's the situation with the undead transformed from the demonic bones?"

The black-robed skeleton replied in a low voice: "A crazy fighting machine without reason, only instinct remains. As recorded in the "Book of Sea Breeze", the soul of the devil belongs to the abyss, and the body of the devil only has soul fragments."

"Can it be driven?"

"It's hard."

The dark knight's soul fire began to flicker, and the black-robed skeleton knew that his companion was thinking.

This operation was dominated by him, and he only played a supporting role.

Because of this, he will not interfere with the other party's decision. Anyway, he will take the blame for the failure. He is only assisting. Even if he is responsible, it is only a small part.

"Then let the eight generals devour them all to strengthen their strength. If the bait has no strength, it will make people doubt our true purpose."

"Then do it your way."

After the black-robed skeleton finished speaking, he turned and left.

The Dark Knight looked down at his pitch-black armor and the dim morning flower on the left side of his chest.

The memory of his body told him that doing so was wrong, but the instinct of his soul told him that all this was beneficial to him.

Feeling more and more irritable in his heart, the Dark Knight opened his mouth and swallowed the souls of hundreds of bronze-level skeleton warriors around him to calm down the irritability in his heart.

Seeing this, the four black knights guarding the door drove hundreds of bronze-level undead into the cave, waiting for their master to eat the next time he was in a bad mood. At the same time, they moved their positions farther out to avoid Next time it will be swallowed by the owner for no reason.

Three days later, the troops were assembled and officially set off to the northwest.

On October 10th, the 135th Army Corps officially took over the garrison duties in Shishu City, Shanyan City and Duotie City.

Weilin led six battalions to garrison the mountain rock city in the middle and also served as a mobile force.

Viscount Muncas led four battalions of troops to garrison Stone Tree City on the lower reaches of the Misty River.

As for the Iron City on the upper reaches of the Misty River, Viscount Algernon led two battalions of troops to garrison the city.

At the same time, Verin repeatedly emphasized to Moncas and Algernon that they could not cross the Misty River and only needed to take active defense.

The two of them were a little confused about this order, but they were still willing to choose to obey it.

…

In the headquarters of the 27th Corps, Bamond finished his day's work and had just returned to his tent to rest when he saw his concubine coming to him with a letter.

"This kid won't cause any trouble."

With doubts, Balmond opened the letter.

You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.

"This...where did this kid get the news?"

Balmond held the letter in his hand and asked his two concubines to go down. Then he read it carefully. After confirming it again and again, his heart sank to the bottom.

He had heard about the demonic disaster a few months ago.

According to his nephew, a natural disaster of the undead will break out in the Xiqiu Province in six months. Why is this Ironforge Dwarf mountain kingdom so unlucky?

Just now, he was discussing with the commander of the corps, Bulborn Silvis, and the deputy commander, Medmondch Colombo, to assemble two legions of 120,000 troops, cross the Misty River, and attack the enemy on the other side of the river. The dwarf army earns some face for the 27th Corps.

It seemed that this plan could not be implemented. Instead, he needed to find ways to persuade the two of them to give up the plan.

He must believe the news his nephew told him.

Previous facts have proven that his nephew has a soul skill that can predict the future. This matter was speculated by his eldest brother. Currently, only a few high-ranking people in the family know about this matter. They can be counted on two hands.

However, for no reason, he told the two of them that a natural disaster of the undead would break out in the capital of Xiqiu Province six months later.

If he thought about it from his perspective, he would find this very outrageous.

Therefore, he needed to produce some evidence, otherwise it would be difficult to persuade Bulborn Silvis and Medmonkey Colombo to abandon this plan.

"The priests of the Goddess of Life are the most sensitive to this undead aura. It makes me want to see if I know anyone at the bishop level."

After thinking for a while, Bamond's face became a little ugly.

Most of the people he made friends with were people in the military. He knew a few from the church, but his friendship was not deep and they were all in several other headquarters.

"Oh, I'd better tell my cousin about this."

The sky is falling, but there are tall people holding it up. It's time for my cousin and old man to shine.

Once this matter is confirmed, his nephew will be able to obtain at least ten military exploits.

For this reason, Balmond spent a lot of effort and tactfully made some suggestions to Earl Hurricane, asking him to remove Verin from this matter. The military merits can be received normally, but the reputation does not need to be publicized to avoid attracting public attention. The revenge of those undead creatures.

There must be specialized high-level undead creatures behind such a large undead natural disaster.

As small as my nephew is, he really can't withstand a lot of abuse.

For the safety of his nephew, Bamond took great pains. Next time they meet, he must let him bring out a few more bottles of good wine to entertain him.

After packing the envelope, Balmond called a confidant and handed him the letter and his token, urging him to deliver the letter to Earl Hurricane.

…

Mountain Rock City is a city built on the plains. It is known as the granary of the Xigas Province. It is the territory of the dwarf Marquis Darrag, but the marquis has retreated to the north and taken most of the population with him.

According to Weilin's understanding, there used to be more than 60,000 dwarves living in this city, but now the population is less than 10,000. The ruins all indicate that a very fierce war has broken out here.

Walking on the street, Weilin can smell the strong smell of blood in the air.

"My lord, all the dwarves who can be killed in this city have been killed. Similarly, all the dwarves who can be sold have been sold, leaving only these old, weak, sick and disabled people, who have no value." Kyle looked at the surrounding scene and said helplessly.

"Look at the bright side, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and the security cost has dropped all at once. We can free up more troops to do other things." Weilin did not feel angry, but rather very relaxed.

He had more money than he could spend, and now he was less interested in plundering wealth.

Other nobles gained something in this war. Although they were still greedy, they did not plunder the Rock City again under the restraint of Weilin.

The scene at this moment is a true portrayal of the country that has lost the initiative. Those who dared to resist were killed, those with skills were sold as slaves, and the others were thrown aside to fend for themselves.

If the Kingdom of Ilia failed in the first stage, his Qixing Territory would probably not be much better. Fortunately, the Kingdom’s army was powerful. They won the first stage and took the initiative in this war.
