Knights and Magic Wand -
Chapter 456 - 456 214 New Generation
456: Chapter 214: New Generation 456: Chapter 214: New Generation “No…” Yevan sheathed his long sword, shook his head at the Orland Knight who ended this disgraceful conspiracy, and walked over.
The soldiers, just assigned by the Baron, moved aside to let the son of their lord pass.
The young knight approached the remains of his biological father, and although there was hardly any familial love to speak of, he instinctively sighed: “My father, Baron Shatai, perished a few days ago in a battle when the Corpse Ghosts sieged, in an attempt to protect his domain…”
As he spoke, he turned and looked back at the confused soldiers and guards in the hall, and loudly declared: “Now, I take over my father’s duty, command you all to unite.
In this dire time, we must not allow fratricide within Shatai City.”
The soldiers exchanged looks, each of them knelt down partially, bowing their heads in submission.
…The momentary chaos was temporarily quelled.
In the conference room of Tower Castle, Yevan expressed his gratitude to the knight in front of him: “Your Excellency is the hero who saved Shatai City; I cannot let you bear trouble for my father’s despicable acts.”
Leon nodded.
Although he wasn’t particularly concerned about having killed the man, since whether it was his origins from Seryan or his allegiance to Orland, he was already in a state of hostility with Kantadar, but having fewer troubles was of course better.
“I have returned this time to warn you, the Undead a few days ago were just the prelude to a greater disaster; the lands to the east have turned into a realm of perpetual night haunted by ghosts…” he carefully informed Yevan of the dangers this place was about to face.
When Yevan heard that there could be not only tens of thousands but hundreds of thousands of Corpse Ghosts encroaching, his frown deepened, having personally experienced this catastrophe, he dared not disbelieve the dreadful predictions the other party spoke of.
“…I suggest you quickly burn the bodies of those Corpse Ghosts and the victims; when the dark clouds come again, those corpses will be the best hosts for Wandering Souls and resentful spirits…”
Leon said this with some relief; the kingdoms that worship the Holy Sun advocate cremation, and most of the deceased have been turned into ashes over the centuries, leaving no corpses in cemeteries to host wandering souls.
If this disaster is also spreading eastward at this moment, then at least, the Seryan Kingdom need not worry about the past deceased rising to join the ranks of the Corpse Ghosts.
However, traditional Felu Kingdoms like Kantadar and Orland have many more buried dead in the ground.
“…Send some brave warriors to monitor the expansion of the dark clouds to the east at all times.
The scope of the ghost domain will be spread by an Undead carriage equipped with a large bell of witchcraft, and every stronghold that the Corpse Ghosts seize, they might utilize those souls to establish stronger, more dangerous Big Bell Altars, turning the occupied area into a permanent netherworld…”
Leon did not withhold any information; he hoped Yevan would spread this news quickly to the lords of Kantadar and beyond.
The powers in the eastern parts of Kantadar, even if only to delay the trend of cloud expansion, would give Orland more time to prepare.
“Is there really no way to destroy those desecrated, evil creations?” Yevan clenched his fists, alarmed in his heart.
Leon reluctantly said: “The large Soul Bell Altars erected in towns are extremely dangerous; mere mortals, even coming close, would have their souls extracted.
Currently, only powerful Spellcasters…
I mean wizards, who know how to protect their own souls, can resist, other than that, no method has yet been found to allow ordinary people to resist their influence.”
However, the mobile big bell on their Corpse Cart needs a wizard to actively ring it with magic; if a sufficient price can be paid to defeat the Corpse Ghost Army, it could prevent the netherworld from continuing to spread here…”
Toward the end, Leon shook his head: “Shatai City alone cannot withstand the onslaught of the Corpse Ghost wave; I advise you to contact allies as soon as possible and plan an evacuation for the populace in advance.”
In the worst-case scenario, abandon the city and domain, even if you have to lead the people to seek refuge with other lords, it’s better than having all the military and civilians die in the disaster, becoming part of the Copse Ghost Army.”
After notifying of the danger, Leon rose to take his leave; he also needed to return quickly to warn Count Eriv and the high-level officials of Orland.
Yevan made no further attempt to detain him; this Orland Griffin Knight, who was just passing by, had already done his utmost for Shatai City.
However, as he escorted the knight out of the Tower Castle gate, he couldn’t help but inquire.
“Your Excellency, may I have the honor to know your name and origins?
Currently, every bit of the mansion’s wealth has been transferred to the western domain, but if I know where you reside, I wish to send you a generous reward one day.”
Leon pondered for a moment.
Considering that establishing connections with Shatai City at the forefront could help grasp the situation, he revealed his identity; after all, there weren’t many Griffin Knights from Orland, especially not ones as young as himself
“My name is ‘Leon Pendragon’, Baron Avalon Castle from Panglos Forest.
Whether or not to reward does not matter, but remember, if the situation here changes, be sure to send a messenger to Avalon Castle to inform me of the situation.”
“I’ve noted it down, Mr.
Leon.” Upon hearing the counterpart was an Orland Baron with a domain, Yevan quickly performed a chest bowing gesture.
He was still just a knight, even though he managed Shatai City amidst the current crisis, it was not certain whether he would inherit the title of Baron Shatai.
His older brother, who led the family troops, had still not returned from the unknown whereabouts of the Kingdom’s grand army; Yevan had not yet figured out how to deal with his elder brother…
…
In a residential house in the north of Shatai City, where refugees gathered,
Brandon, who had already bandaged his external wounds, was lying in bed resting.
Next to the chair, the beautiful and formidable Valkyrie lady sat in the room, giving the frightened boy a greater sense of security as he closed his eyes.
