Chapter 1270: 429. Dwarf Marshal: Why are things always so bad in Transylvania?!_2

Even though Little Wei Ming and Sister Pomegranate hurried along with the other members, they still arrived at the battlefield a bit late; the Jackal Warlock group had already been completely defeated through a precise decapitation strike.

Most of the magicians had been slain, and the few remaining had fled the battlefield and were now being frantically pursued by the enraged local militia.

The Torrent Knights were assisting those respectable soldiers, but under the summoning of "Lady Shui," Tepar, Uncle Fuding, and Miss Biqi had already gathered in the cemetery.

"We must immediately stop this evil ritual!"

As "Lady Shui" was lifted down from the air by Sister Pomegranate, Uncle Fuding, full of spirit, stepped forward with a proper knight’s salute and loudly said to the stunningly beautiful peer before him,

"O mighty priest from the Avalon Church, you are our last hope to protect this land. Please guide the purifying power of the God of Avalon here to cleanse this unspeakable evil as soon as possible."

"I came here for precisely that."

"Lady Shui," also full of spirit, returned a priest’s salute to Uncle Fuding, then stepped forward to inspect the undead ritual, still active and accumulating the aura of the Netherworld.

After a few seconds, she leaned on her scythe, which was quite inconsistent with her "persona," and turned back to the group, saying,

"This level of extradimensional summoning is not something a mere priest like myself can handle; perhaps it will require requesting assistance from the Church to dispatch a priest capable of performing divine arts. However, I now wish to ask all of you one question—are we truly in need of purifying this ritual?"

"Ah?"

The first to react was Miss Biqi.

She had just brilliantly led her knights in the Torrent Knights’ "debut" performance on the battlefield and was still full of the fighting spirit. Faced with "Lady Shui’s" question, her instinct, shaped by the simplest knightly moral view, was to object, but just as she opened her mouth, the Knight of Liwen beside her held down her wrist.

The clever half-dragonborn signaled with her eyes to not speak and to see how these warriors of Sir Murphy would handle this mess.

"Please share your thoughts, ’Lady Shui.’"

Tepar came forward and said,

"We all know you are the finest wisdom born on the lands of Transia; perhaps you can give us some useful advice."

"On my way here, I heard about Little Dove Treasure and Little Car Car’s plan, intending to invoke the Corrupt Energy of the Star-world Tear to counteract this undead array.

With my limited understanding of evil forces, I think this plan has a certain chance of success, but the severe aftermath of the Star-world Tear must also be taken seriously.

Within the city fractures of the Crimson Castle, remnants of the corruption from that Star-world Tear persist to this day. Even if they use such extreme measures to halt the undead summoning, it will only bring another issue to this land.

Moreover, using such large-scale lethal tactics on someone else’s territory could easily create a diplomatic dispute."

"Lady Shui" shook her head as she first explained her view on the Star-world Tear, then twirling a braid that lay in front of her chest, she said,

"Secondly, even if we successfully purify this ritual here, the skeletons and ghouls that have been awakened will not rest peacefully when the ritual ends.

The evil magic of the Jackal Warlocks has already tainted this land, and its effects won’t vanish in a couple of days.

On the other hand, the maximum range affected by this ritual is limited to a few large tombs nearby; no matter how many dead are buried here, there is a limit, and if we let it continue operating until that limit is reached, it will cease on its own.

In fact, I estimate that by tomorrow morning at the latest, it would naturally weaken."

"But so many wandering undead will pose a terrible threat to the living nearby! Banks City is just thirty kilometers from here, and that city is home to two hundred thousand people!"

Miss Biqi shouted,

"Leaving the innocents in jeopardy is not the conduct of a knight!"

"Therefore, we need to evacuate them to a safe place before they are threatened by the undead, so they can start a new life."

"Lady Shui" said methodically,

"This is the most perfect choice we can make at the moment, since neither we nor the Exploration Corps can clear these already awakened undead in a short period of time unless the Dwarf Marshal thinks like Little Dove Treasure and wants to flatten everything here with a super spell.

But if he does that, the local innocents will die as well.

I understand your compassion and reluctance, but the reality is that the bad has already happened; instead of hoping it will quietly vanish, we should start saving those who can still be saved right now.

Considering the rate at which the Skeleton Army and undead creatures are reviving and the terrifying numbers they will ultimately reach, not just a few towns nearby but half of Count Cadman’s Domain’s residents need to be evacuated immediately!

Fortunately, the brave and glorious Torrent Knights will stay here to help block the undead attacks, buying enough time for their retreat."

At this point, "Lady Shui" blinked and said,

"The local residents can obviously choose to move to areas sheltered by the Exploration Corps; that is their freedom, but in the face of this horrible humanitarian crisis, I believe the closer Transia will also open its arms to these innocents."
