Tomb Survival: Evolve from Skeleton

"Leyland, dead..."

Kieran Wade looked at the letter in his hand, and said faintly, without any emotion, as if a trivial incident had nothing to do with him.

And Renuo, the deputy head of "Cold Iron" beside him, had a look of disbelief.

Rayland...

The head of the "Cold Iron" mercenary group in Hesmu City, a strong man who was strong enough to rival him, unexpectedly... died.

Everything around was suddenly quiet, and there seemed to be a trace of sadness and shock in the air.

All the "Cold Iron" mercenaries around him who heard the news showed surprise expressions.

"...Moreover, it seems that he died at the hands of a skeleton-type undead."

Skeletons are undead!
Hearing Kieran Wade's faint murmur to himself, Renault knew that the captain was speaking for himself.

Near Hesmu City, the place where the most undead gathered was the "Bone Cavern".

However, the level of the undead there is far lower than that of ordinary human fighters, and it is impossible to be the opponent of the "Cold Iron" mercenary group!
Not to mention the best among mercenaries like Leyland.

And the only possibility is the mysterious undead who escaped from the "catacomb"... an undead with three treasures and wisdom!
"Then, Captain, you..."

Renault seemed to blame himself a little. He felt that it was because of his own mistake that the skeleton took away the treasure chest and fled!This led to Leyland's death...

"Reynolds, you don't have to blame yourself."

Renault was shocked by Kieran Wade's first words, he was very surprised, but then he was relieved...

Surprised that Kieran Wade could instantly see what he was thinking in his heart.

But that's right, if you can't see through yourself, how can you be the leader of Kieran?
After glancing at the letter paper in his hand again, the corners of Kieran Vader's mouth slightly raised.

An arcane flame protruded and burned the letter paper in Kieran Vader's hand...

"Reynolds, you take the big troops to the royal city first, and I'm going to the 'Bone Burial Cavern'..."

Kieran Wade ordered lightly, and then he pulled the rein in his hand, and the whole person and the horse flew forward like arrows.

"You guys, follow and protect the head!"

"Yes!"

Renault hurriedly ordered.

Immediately, several mercenary cavalry chased Kieran Vader away on horseback.

Although Renault knew that in the vast kingdom, almost no one could pose a threat to Kieran Vader.

but……

As the commander's sword, if he can't protect himself personally, he still needs to find some subordinates to replace him.

Even if ordinary "cold iron" mercenaries like them could not face the person who could really threaten the regiment leader, it would be good to use it as a human shield to delay the time.

"Everyone, continue to march towards the royal city!"

Lei Nuo turned his horse's head, and a large number of "Cold Iron" mercenaries began to march towards the royal city.

The mercenary team was mighty, as if covering the sky and covering the sun.

……

Papal States.

The capital is the holy city of Jeddah.

The Papal State is a very special human kingdom.

On the current continent, the main gathering places of human beings are divided into kingdoms, empires, eastern empires, united cities, and... the Papal State.

The Papal States is located at the junction of the northern borders of the Kingdom and the Empire.

The land area of ​​the Papal State itself is small, with only a few cities, and it cannot be compared with the other three giant empires that are vast and thousands of miles away.

but……

The Papal State is known as "the richest human country".

Although the Pope's land is small, it extends in all directions, connecting the three major power centers of the Kingdom, the Empire, and the United City.

It is the only way for caravans, mercenaries and adventurers from the three places.

Secondly, the Temple of the Holy Light was organized and initiated by the Papal State... Its headquarters is located in the capital of the Papal State—the holy city of Jeddah.

The Judgment Priests and the Knights Templar who fought for the Temple of the Holy Light both have the saying of "humanity's strongest combat power".

It is also because of the existence of a large number of priests in the Holy Light Temple that they almost monopolize the healing magic...

From a certain point of view, both the kingdom and the empire had to depend on the Pope.

However, the Papal State believes in the neutral principle of "human supremacy". They will not interfere in the internal affairs of other human countries, but mainly fight against demi-human countries and alien races.

And these wars also made the Judgment Priest and the Knights Templar shine...

……

"So, how many priests have we lost in total?"

An old man with white hair and wrinkled face quietly asked the "Cold Iron" mercenary who reported below.

The old man was wearing expensive golden magic priest costumes all over his body. Looking carefully, it seemed that the flow of magic power could be vaguely seen on the clothes.

This is a member of the Papal State Council of Elders, and also the Holy Light Temple, one of the six great gods, and the priest of God under the God of Fire.

"Report to Mr. Cammus..."

The "Cold Iron" mercenary group came here without being humble or overbearing, and their words and deeds are quite worthy of the title of "the first mercenary group in the kingdom"...

"Among the characters that our regiment and the temple have been encircling and suppressing the mysterious "catacomb" this time, the leader of our regiment—Kieran Vader, has completely occupied the control of the first floor of the tomb, but when he is about to attack When I entered the second underground tomb, I encountered..."

"What happened?"

Camus asked impatiently.

The "Cold Iron" mercenary was neither humble nor overbearing, and replied in a deep and powerful voice——

"Encountered the chief illusionist of the Eastern Empire... Zhao Yekong! Moreover, the entire mercenary group and the priests were deliberately attacked by the other party!..."

……

kingdom.

The outskirts of Hesmu City.

Kress and Dilly have arrived at the entrance of the "Burial Cave".

It's hard to imagine that in a human kingdom like Hesmu City, there is such a terrifying and gloomy place with a strong breath of death.

It is said that this so-called "Bone Burial Cave" was actually the place where Hesmu City used to dispose of dead bodies.

Due to the lack of necessary corpse disposal, the breath of death gathered and the corpse became undead, which formed today's "Bone Burial Cave".

Of course, all these are just rumors...

However, these rumors also explain from the side——

The prosperity of the kingdom is just the appearance, the real inside is already rotten...

The Eastern Empire has its own belief system.It can be regarded as the forbidden area of ​​the Holy Light Temple in the human kingdom, and it is incompatible with it.However, under the main threat of a large number of sub-human kingdoms, the Papal State has not yet had time to organize a "Holy War" against the Eastern Empire.

2. The United City is a free country where all races coexist.The Holy Light Temple has a certain influence here, but it is far from being so huge that it cannot be shaken in the Kingdom and Empire.
