Pope System of Rebirth

The realm of the undead. An area densely populated by the undead. The undead are buried deep in the ground and the undead roam on the ground. This is the kingdom of the undead!

So where does the realm of the undead come from?

It's very simple. The original undead are just the original undead flowing out of the undead world. They awaken all dead creatures, including some powerful creatures, such as dragons, giants, etc., who are not immune.

The number of these awakened undead was 30 times the total number of people on the continent at that time, and a boundless catastrophe swept across the entire continent.

After hundreds of years, with the help of the gods and the tenacious will and wisdom of humans, the undead creatures were expelled in one direction. Finally, the vast area in this direction was the kingdom of the undead - the realm of the undead.

For countless years, the area of ​​the realm of the undead has grown larger or smaller, but humans have never allowed them to occupy the surrounding terrain.

Seventeen hundred years ago, the Black Earth Principality became the core of the boundary between the undead and humans, and the Black Fire City was equivalent to a thin film. If it was punctured, the entire Black Fire Principality would become a fortress guarding the undead.

The Principality of Black Earth belongs to the Cairo Empire, and its Grand Duke holds the title of first-class duke in the empire. His task is to repair the dilapidated towers that have been destroyed during the war between the undead and humans over the years.

There are nine lines of defense in the Black Earth Principality, each line of defense is stronger than the previous one, and the Grand Duke Overland of the Black Earth Principality huddles in the ninth line of defense, building a palace specifically for himself - Overland.

temple.

The Grand Duke of Black Earth is naturally the highest authority in the Principality of Black Earth. Although he likes to hear people call him His Majesty the King, as the king of a dependent country, he knows very well that his life is completely in the hands of His Majesty the real emperor of the Cairo Empire. Therefore,

, he was very smart and never let others call him His Majesty the King. Perhaps because of this, Emperor Cairo was extremely relieved of him and rewarded him with many beauties and treasures.

Overland is very satisfied with his situation. He has never seen the legendary evil and cruel undead, so he is relieved. Moreover, even the first line of defense, Black Fire City, has never been captured or lost.

…

In the hall of the Overland Palace, the prime minister of the Black Earth Principality, who has a fat face, a tuft of beard between his nose, and is as wide as his height, is smiling, picking up the red wine he poured himself, and teasing a beautiful lady in his arms.

.Although this lady looks no more than twenty years old, she is old enough to be his granddaughter, but seeing him holding the girl's shoulders affectionately, if you just look at their backs, you would really think they are the same person.

What about the 'golden boy'?

The girl's father, a certain viscount of the principality, was chatting with several nobles of the same level with a happy smile on his face. He occasionally glanced at his daughter who was held in the arms of the prime minister, his eyes filled with pride.

The palace etiquette officer dressed in red walked to the prime minister's side and whispered in his ear.

Immediately afterwards, a magical effect appeared. The Prime Minister's fat face twitched for a while, rising and falling like waves. He asked softly: "Where is the Minister of State? Where is the Minister of Military Affairs? Where is the Minister of Reserves? Where is the Minister of Finance... Hurry up."

They came here...Oh my God! Where is the Grand Duke?"

The important person in this feast, the person who gave the Queen of Black Earth the grand gift, is the daughter of the noble Grand Marquis of Lorraine. At this moment, the Queen of the Black Earth Principality is sitting alone on her throne, surrounded by several people.

The maid in silk and satin, but the highest authority in the Black Earth Principality, the noble Grand Duke Overland, is nowhere to be found.

The Prime Minister quickly kneaded the girl's chest a few times, and then quickly ran towards several fat old people with bodies similar to his...

Several fat and ball-like old men put their heads together to discuss for a while, and finally a tall, capable, yellow-bearded old man wearing a general's attire also joined in.

After a cup of tea, the tall old man walked out, and more than a dozen "Black Feather Camp" knights surrounded him and rushed out of the palace.

The prime minister and several other people all looked at the palace steward aside with oppressive eyes. The steward, who was wearing a permed golden uniform with sharp edges and hair that was as straight as a rooster's tail, was extremely uncomfortable and brought a few people with him.

The principal minister walked towards the interior of the palace.

After passing a long corridor full of oil paintings of scantily clad beauties, the steward's footsteps stopped outside a heavy pink-lacquered oak door. Eight Grand Duke guards stood in front of the door, with flashes in their eyes.

He looked brightly at the fat old men approaching.

The nine-foot-long, majestic and always serious-looking palace steward looked at the eight Grand Duke's guards with extremely majestic eyes. After blinking, he took a few steps back like a cat and came to a few steps.

Behind a fat minister.

He was extremely elegant and natural. He distanced himself from the relationship with several ministers to the eight Grand Duke's personal guards, and looked as though he had nothing to do with me.

The Minister of State immediately took a step forward and shouted: "Get out of my way, is the Grand Duke inside?"

The captain of the Grand Duke's personal guard, who had a badge of eight wheat stalks on his left chest, showing his noble status, responded coldly: "I'm sorry, dear minister of state, the Grand Duke is busy planning important national affairs, and you are not allowed to enter either.

It disturbs him."

The Minister of State was stunned for a moment, staring fiercely at the gorgeous emblem on his chest, while the captain of the Grand Duke's personal guard tightened his hand on the hilt of the long sword at his waist, and looked at the Minister of State without any sign of weakness.

The Minister of State snorted and took a step back. There was already a cold light in his round eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking. But the Prime Minister stepped forward and shouted in a low voice: "Get out of here.

You guys who don’t care about life and death, I will dismiss you all from your posts and transfer them to the frontiers of the Dark Prison Kingdom to raise horses. I’ll give you half a cup of tea to think about. Your family’s military officers and military officers will all have to go to the frontiers. As for the civil servants..."

As he said that, he turned his head and took a look.

The Minister of State said with a stiff expression: "The public security in the City of Purgatory is extremely chaotic, and daily affairs are still too busy. I think we can send some people there..."

The Prime Minister immediately said: "If you are afraid that the Grand Duke will scold you, don't worry, I will intercede on your behalf. We have extremely important matters to discuss with the Grand Duke."

The eight Grand Duke's guards looked at each other for a few times and quickly moved away. The steward behind the fat ministers slightly raised the corners of his mouth, but immediately felt that his behavior was not in line with his status, and hurriedly fished in his pockets.

He took out a bright red handkerchief, covered his mouth and coughed twice, covering up his bad behavior just now.

Although the Prime Minister and the Minister of State were civil servants, their cultivation levels were still quite high. Seeing that the eight people next to them looked like they would never help, they immediately took a few steps forward and pushed open the heavy five-meter-high oak door.

, with a creaking sound, the steward slowly walked into the door along with several ministers.

Overland, the grand duke of the principality and the sole and respected ruler, was naked and holding a girl in his arms. Overland's hands were caressing the girl's back as smooth as suet. The girl's clothes had already been removed.

After being stripped naked, the two trembling masses of white flesh and bright red on the chest were completely revealed in front of the palace manager and several important ministers of the country.

Seeing a few people coming in, Overland stopped taking the last step and looked blankly at the old men and the manager, his light brown pupils full of confusion...

The Prime Minister quickly bowed and whispered: "Sorry for disturbing the Grand Duke, please forgive me. It's just because we have extremely important matters to discuss with you, but as you know very well, the sound insulation effect of your study is too great."

Well, we can't let you hear us knocking on the door outside."

Overland immediately calmed down, his eyes flickered, and the palace steward hurriedly turned around and closed the heavy door with great effort. He pressed his face firmly against the door, turned his back to the room, and kept his posture motionless.

The Minister of State showed his ability to deal with important matters and stepped forward to pick up an almost torn long dress from the blanket and handed it to Overland, who then handed the long dress to the girl.

Immediately afterwards, she put on her own clothes without any panic or restraint. The girl's face was also without any embarrassment. She quickly put on her long skirt, smoothed her messy hair a little, took out a red feather fan,

She swayed slightly, looking like a lady.

The eyes of the old men lit up, and the girl in front of them was so beautiful that honey was dripping from her eyes. Isn't she the newlywed wife of Marquis Carlo, the lord of Black Rain City near the north?

After Overland put on his clothes, he asked: "I was discussing with Mrs. Carlo about the second, third, and fourth lines of defense. You rushed in and disturbed us. It's really shameless.

You're polite. But I believe that these are all important ministers of the country. I don't think they are really so rude. They must have extremely important matters to discuss with me."

Several old men secretly praised in their hearts: "Although the Grand Duke is only twenty-five years old, he is already looking like an Grand Duke. He is really young and promising. If he does not visit Mrs. Carlo during this period, he will probably look even more perfect."

The Minister of State took a step forward, bowed slightly, and said softly: "According to the message in the magic letter sent by the empire, the realm of the undead is close to the human country, uh, that is, the area close to our Black Earth Principality, and it is estimated that fourth-level undead creatures will awaken.

And the number is extremely large.”

Overan frowned slightly and muttered: "Oh? Is that so? The fourth-level undead creature is going to awaken in the undead area close to our Black Earth Principality. This is really a big deal. The damn Lord of Black Fire City, that

The boy from the Qin family named Qin Lang, why didn’t he report any information? Before the fourth-level undead creature awakens, there should be the third-level skeleton knight and lich awakening first. Does this kid think he can deal with the skeleton knight?

It’s really ridiculous…”

After muttering for a while, Overland smiled and said: "Then issue a nationwide announcement as soon as possible to make all the people prepare for the disaster. At the same time, order the people in Black Fire City and surrounding small towns, as well as the first three lines of defense, to

Move to the back of the fourth line of defense. If the fourth-level undead creatures attack, the three lines of defense in front will be useless, let alone the Black Fire City."

The Minister of State took a deep breath and looked at Overland with some fear. He didn't know how to say the words in his mouth. Overland immediately noticed that something was wrong with him and couldn't help but frowned and said: "Hey, what's wrong, Themis?

If you fart, don't hold it in, let it out quickly, I won't mind the stench."

The Minister of State did not dare to answer. The Prime Minister took a slight step back when he saw the Minister of Military Affairs, the Minister of Reserves, and the Minister of Finance. He had no choice but to step forward and said softly: "Dear Grand Duke, this time the fourth-level undead

The biological awakening is different from the past. There is no sign before the awakening. It is extremely sudden. I guess, I guess..."

A thunderous roar came from the study, the sound was so loud that even the eight Grand Duke's guards outside the door heard it. If they had not firmly believed that several ministers and stewards would not harm Overland, they were almost ready to rush in.

However, they still squeezed open a crack in the door, ignoring the ugly face of the manager, and looked inside...

After Overland roared several times, he asked in a low voice: "Exactly suddenly? How long will it take for the fourth-level undead creature to awaken? Three days later? Or two days later? Or even tomorrow! Answer me!"

The Reserve Minister's voice trembled slightly and his body trembled: "Not the Grand Duke, the Grand Duke. The magic letter I received said that it was this afternoon, and, moreover, a fourth-level undead creature had already awakened."

Overland picked up the documents on the table and threw it on the head of the Minister of Reserves: "Asshole! Today! The fourth-level undead creature! Has, has awakened! Why didn't you tell me earlier? Damn it!

That is a fourth-level undead creature. The Black Fire City will be punctured in an instant like a virgin's membrane! The Black Fire City at this moment has probably fallen! How can you make me worthy of the dead members of the Black Fire City and the others?

A total of more than 567,000 kind-hearted people in the surrounding area? Tell me!"

The Minister of Reserves was trembling all over and did not dare to speak. He immediately fell to his knees and did not dare to look at Overland.

Several old men glanced at the Reserve Minister with pity, and the Prime Minister stepped forward: "Grand Duke, I can't blame Sir Shalu entirely for this. After all, the awakening of undead creatures this time is indeed very strange. Usually, if there are fourth-level undead,

There was a sign of the "blood moon in the sky" about the awakening of creatures a month ago. But this time, there is no news about the awakening of the skeleton generals and lichs among the third-level undead creatures, and there is no news about the Lord of the Black Fire City.

, presumably the entire Black Fire City has been captured by the suddenly awakened undead creatures. The Grand Duke cannot be blamed for all this, after all, even the fortune tellers of the empire only learned of this fact after the fourth-level undead awakened."

Overland nodded: "Well, we shouldn't waste time on such a trivial matter. If the fourth-level undead creature has awakened and we only get the news now, then it is meaningless to rescue the people in Black Fire City.

.”

The Minister of State pondered: "The Grand Duke is wise, in order to ensure the people in the rear are protected as soon as possible, I think we should abandon the front four lines of defense and directly station the fifth line of defense until the major empires send troops to assist. In this way, the Black Earth Principality can be protected

The lives of 70% of the people can be continued."

When Overland was about to speak sadly, the girl beside him had already put her arms around his neck and said softly: "My husband, Carlo, the Lord of Black Rain City, is in charge of the second, third, and fourth lines of defense. I

I understand his difficulties and righteousness, and for the sake of all the people behind the fifth line of defense, I implore the Grand Duke on his behalf to do everything possible to protect the nearly 10 million people in the 70% Black Earth Principality behind the fifth line of defense."

When several old men heard this, they all sighed inwardly: "This Mrs. Carlo gave away her husband's life just like that. Also, it is better to follow an archduke than to follow a marquis who will die sooner or later.

.”

In the mournful voice of Grand Duke Overland, in the sighs of several old men, and in the cries of beautiful young women, a decision was reached: the first four of the nine lines of defense in the Black Earth Principality were abandoned - not only

Not only giving up the land, but also giving up all the people.
