The Rise of the Cemetery

(Thanks to o((⊙﹏⊙))o and Dabai’s elder brother called two big red envelope rewards!)

Anelia Mountains, Lokol City.

It was the early morning of the day, and there were not many people to be seen on the street that should have been bustling with noise. Even if they had to go out out of desperation, the residents of the small town walked quickly close to the walls on both sides, and raised their heads to scan the sky from time to time, as if they were on guard for something.

On the not-so-tall city wall, a cold light flickered, and countless small town guards holding heavy crossbows were crouching behind the battlements, carefully and cautiously patrolling the distant sky.

There is no smoke at dawn, no noisy crowds, and the whole town is silent, like an empty city.

The spire of the 5-story magic tower erected in the center of the small town has collapsed, and most of the tower wall has disappeared, revealing the misery and desolation inside in the same way. The surviving tower still bears the remains of the flames, and it is covered with deep claw marks and pits.

The mages had already evacuated, leaving only a dozen or so mage apprentices struggling to search for useful items in the magic tower. It can be seen that as soon as the work is completed, they will evacuate this poor city that has been brutally ravaged without hesitation.

Half a mile to the right of the Magic Tower is the City Lord's Mansion, which is obviously a favorite place for black dragons to patronize.

The once beautiful and exquisite garden is now devastated, a road of scorched red flames passes through the middle of the flower garden, and at the end of the ashes is the three-story castle where the city lord lived. The hot and viscous breath of the black dragon has been extinguished, leaving only shocking paths of ashes on the earth.

The location of the treasure house of the city lord's mansion is even more appalling. Most of the top wall of the storehouse has been blown away, revealing everything inside naked in front of people. There are more than a dozen scorched marks in human form on the open space around the treasure house. Judging from the appearance, it should be the last trace left by the guard soldiers after they were incinerated by the Black Dragon Flame.

As for the inside of the treasure house, of course it is empty, and all the supplies and treasures have been removed by the greedy black dragon.

However, such a poor city that has been looted and has nothing, still cannot escape the patronage of the black dragon.

"Clang clang clang..."

The urgent and urgent alarm bell rang again, and all the residents of the small town who were still active outside hurriedly hid in their houses, peeking at the surrounding sky in horror through the gaps in the board walls.

With a sharp roar, a strong and sturdy body flew across the sky of the small town, casting a huge black shadow on the hearts of the residents of the small town.

The Black Dragon is here again!

…………

In Papa Tony's tavern, the two sides are confronting each other fiercely.

On one side is a team of twelve foreign adventurers, including fighters, rangers, rogues, and a level 8 mage wearing a mage's robe. The highest level of this group of people is the captain and shield warrior of the adventurer team, level 14, and most of the rest of the members are above level 10, which can be regarded as a very good team of adventurers.

The ones who confronted them were the city guards sent by the city lord's mansion, drawing swords and crossbows one by one, staring fiercely at the group of adventurers.

"We were invited to eradicate these black dragons, what are you trying to do?" the captain of the adventure team accused angrily.

"This is our home." A city guard officer in armor said calmly, "We will never allow you to do dangerous actions that endanger this city!"

At this moment, with a cold whistling across the tavern, the spire of a nearby house was deliberately smashed by the black dragon, smashing the roof of a house in a series of shocking bangs.

The sound of suppressed crying was faintly heard in the distance.

"You have also seen it. The black dragon is ravaging your homeland, and we are entrusted by His Majesty the king of the Altin states to help you deal with the black dragon. You..." The captain was still lobbying hard, but in In front of them, the officers of the city guard remained unmoved.

"But when we asked His Majesty the King for help and got nothing half a month ago, I'm sorry, Lokol City is no longer a member of the Altin States. You are not welcome here, you can go back wherever you come from, don't Find something with us!"

"But don't you need to deal with the black dragon?"

"How to deal with the black dragon is our business, and you outsiders don't need to worry about it. Four days ago, because of the adventurous actions of you outsiders, Derrick City has been destroyed by the crazy revenge of the black dragons. Now, you Come here again, do you want the 70,000 to 80,000 people here to be destroyed together with you?"

"We're here to help you!"

"No need! The city lord has given the order. If you don't obey the command, we have the power to detain you. If you resist, you will be shot!"

As the conversation between the two sides escalated, the atmosphere in the room became more solemn.

After a long silence, the captain of the adventure team finally gave up helplessly.

Under his waving gesture, the members of the team stepped back slowly and put away the weapons in their hands again, but their vigilant eyes never relaxed for a moment. After all, being aimed at by more than twenty crossbows, no one dared to take it lightly.

Seeing the adventurers backing down, the city guard officer finally breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered his men to retreat to the other side of the house. Although they have been released from the fighting state, the crossbow arrows in their hands have not been unloaded, and they are obviously still not at ease with the adventurers.

And at this time, the black dragon that soared and coiled above the small town, constantly showing off its fit body, roared again with its own loud voice.

"Hurry up and hand over all your treasures, or your small city is doomed to be destroyed by the great Oferel's hot dragon flame. Hurry up, hand over your treasures and offerings!"

The resounding dragon chant accompanied by the frightening dragon's power continuously rolled over the city, causing the residents of the small town to cover their ears to avoid it, and the crying sounded again and again.

Both parties in the room couldn't help but look gloomy at the same time, struggling and suffering all over their faces.

A sense of sinking at sunset slowly rose in everyone's hearts.

Are humans still the masters of Klein Continent? Where are those human powerhouses and human mages who are enshrined by thousands of people? Does humanity have a future?

…………

The same scenes have been staged in more than a dozen human cities one after another.

Every city could not withstand the ravages of more than a dozen terrifying underground black dragons, so the city defenses were damaged and the defense power was greatly reduced. Even though some cities are guarded by magic towers, the rare mages make them unable to resist the siege of dragons led by four legendary black dragons.

Therefore, when Rosewall, the only legendary mage in the Altin states, was severely injured by the legendary black dragon and fled, the cities in the entire city-state lost their last barrier.

When any city is disarmed by the black dragon group, any black dragon guy at level 16 or 7 can make the city terrified but helpless. And once any city dares to resist the enslavement of the black dragon, the group of black dragons will destroy the city with terrifying dragon flames.

One after another, three cities have been destroyed because they hurt the black dragon who came to collect offerings, and the number of human casualties has reached 70,000 to 80,000.

Forced by the power of the black dragon, the human cities around the Anelia Mountains could only refuse the "help" of those big city-states, and submit to the rule of the black dragon.

Immediately afterwards, the dark nobles from drow cities have entered many human cities one after another. Although they are cruel and arrogant, as long as there are places where they exist, the black dragon will not bother them anymore.

Under the oppression of this simple strategy of carrots and sticks, countless city-states can only open their gates sadly, and no longer resist the rule of these black-skinned women from the ground.

For a time, the cities around the Anelia Mountains unexpectedly formed a strange situation where human nobles and dark nobles ruled together.

From this point of view, the drow elves have a tendency to take root on the surface and never leave!

…………

Fendia City, the core city of the Altin states.

In the huge, spacious and beautifully decorated council hall, His Majesty King Tofni's deafening roar has continued for an hour without any sign of weakening.

Countless nobles, councilors, leaders of chambers of commerce, and presidents of local trade unions gathered here. Their pale faces were full of humiliation and helplessness. However, in the face of a crushing defeat, no one could come up with a solution to the current situation of the Altin states. The means and methods of the dilemma.

The Altin states were originally a super loose federation of cities. Although all the big and small cities in the kingdom respectfully call Toveni the king and the city of Fendia the capital, everyone knows that it is just a title and does not represent the real situation.

First of all, the city of Fendia is the center city with the most developed commerce among many cities, and the city lord Toveni is the biggest force with four legendary powerhouses.

Secondly, with the continuous infiltration of church forces in the south and the strong advance of the Mages Guild in the north, many loose and small city-states simply cannot compete with these two forces alone. Because in order to protect themselves as a group, many city lords, big and small, came together and elected the so-called king, forming a strange city-state system.

For nearly a thousand years in the past, the loose Altin states managed to find their way between the two major powers, without offending each other. Since the two major powers also needed a reasonable buffer zone, it managed to survive.

But now with the invasion of powerful alien races, the loose state made it impossible for them to gather the armies of the city-states to drive the drow out.

Those northern leaders who faced the drow elves' blades kept sending people to ask for help, while the southern leaders who had not yet suffered from the sword were only willing to send a small part of their troops to support the north. In this time of wild and chaotic times, the city lords, who are originally local organizations and local forces, are more willing to keep their troops in their own hands, and they are not willing to compromise their own troops for others.

So all the people sitting in this hall can only sit helplessly and watch the northern leaders fall into the hands of the black dragon and drow one by one.
