Chapter 314 The Oath
Since the defeat of Elcate thousands of years ago and the death of the Silver Queen, the banner of Cangyin has been broken.

Once upon a time, the undead were the noblest group of people in this world.

They are the guardians of the world order, the heroes of Elcate.They voluntarily gave up the freedom of their souls in exchange for the power of immortality, built the Great Wall with flesh and tombs to fight against the legion of angels, used their bodies to resist attacks again and again for their comrades in arms, and spent years without sleep studying tactics, developing weapons and sorting out data.

However, after the Silver Queen was summoned by the Eternal Sleeping Mentor and passed away, Cang Yin's inheritance was suddenly interrupted.

In the final analysis, the undead are a new race artificially created by the Silver Queen by exploiting the loophole of Aum's law.Whether it is the immortality that violates the basic principles or the characteristics that are completely independent of the tree of life, it is difficult for the undead to survive in this world.

If the saints are still inside the Farnese world, the Silver Queen can request the mentor to convene a supreme meeting to vote on the legitimacy of the undead.But on the other hand, if the saints can still get in touch, Tire will not rebel against the saints and establish himself as a god.

But in fact, even if the undead just exist in this world, it is tantamount to violating the laws set by the father of Gaia and the tree of life at the same time.Only within the range covered by the silver queen's seal can the erosion of the law be avoided.

Under the personal charm of the Silver Queen, frost giants, winter dwarves, elves, goblins, humans...more and more people came from all over the world to defect to the banner of Cangyin and transform themselves into undead.

With more and more undead, Elcate's legion continued to expand, and the battle began to gradually reverse.The momentum of the undead is getting higher and higher. After recovering the territory of today's Elcate, they decided to launch a counterattack.

In this protracted war between the undead and the undead, it took three years for the undead to capture the entire Farajo, half of Suze and two-thirds of Titan.The Allied Forces of the Gods and Gods were split into three parts, and it was only a matter of time before the two isolated troops in the extreme north of Su Ze and the southern part of Titan were wiped out.

So far, the territory controlled by the undead has even surpassed Elcate's original territory.This made the fighting spirit of the undead even higher.

In other words, the undead were already dazzled by this time, and they were dazzled by successive victories.

They obviously forgot that the Silver Queen they worshiped as a god was just a mortal after all.Even though she has passed the vote of the Supreme Council and advanced to the side of God, her power alone must have a limit——

At that time, among the seven saints, only the Lord of the Sword Seat fell, and the law of Aum was still quite complete.Once the undead escaped from the protection of the Cangyin Banner, their strength would be weakened more and more.

Thankfully, those nations east of El Catere have not forgotten their faith in the Holy One.This allows the Silver Queen to only need to extend her power westward, burning her own origin to transform it into the sanctuary of the Holy Seal.

The generals of the undead continued to challenge the Silver Queen, and the whole country was shrouded in a fanatical atmosphere. The new generation of undead began to receive cruel military education from the beginning of their transformation.

War is just.While the gods couldn't bear the suffering of the war, Elcate's resources were almost exhausted.The Silver Queen adjusted her strategy and greatly reduced the supply of resources and reinforcements for the front line. She wanted to turn the battle into a protracted war and drag the gods who had begun to collapse to death.

But she missed people's hearts.With the reduction of supplies, the battle situation has naturally reached a stalemate, and the overwhelming advantage has gradually turned into a balance of power.Although the undead throw has a slight advantage on the frontal battlefield, the generals on the front line, after getting used to the continuous and refreshing victories before, are completely unable to be satisfied by the slow-paced battle situation with almost no progress for several months in a row.

So, they started to panic when they couldn't get the victory to repay the queen.Some radical generals believed that the reason why they could not win was that the increasing number of undead non-combatants in the rear had been separated, making it impossible for them to get it.

Without the permission of the Silver Queen, some front-line generals launched private operations.They began to plunder resources from Titan and Su Ze, and carried out undead transformation without authorization to expand their troops.

"This is the beginning of the collapse of the war situation that year."

Duoduo narrated softly: "Since then, a large number of wild undead have mixed into Elcate. These wild undead who don't know the glory of Cangyin at all have no respect for Her Majesty the Queen."

After the army was expanded and sufficient armaments were obtained, the frontline generals again began to win successive victories.

"At that time, the believers of Titan were persecuted to the point where there was only one province left. Four-fifths of Suze had also been occupied. With the decline of believers, the gods began to fall. One-third of Bansa's land had been taken occupy."

Although Duoduo talked about the past glory of the undead, his eyes were full of sadness.

"In order to protect those wild bastards, Her Majesty almost completely transformed her origin into a holy seal...until her origin was exhausted and her strength almost fell to the golden level, she was assassinated by the God of Darkness."

Dodo told Roland the truth about the war in a flat tone.His right eye had been completely shattered, the gray fragments were shattered like a spider web, and several cracks appeared in his left eye.

By now, the undead have long realized that they are a noble race only under the banner of Cangyin.Otherwise, the undead are just a bunch of cold and heartless scum.

"If you don't believe in the gods, you are not even allowed to live. As long as you leave the desolate land of Elcate, which is now desolate to nothing, we will be hunted down by the Templars," Duoduo said like an outsider Narrated in a flat voice, looking up at Roland, his eyes were so empty that people couldn't get angry at all, "Once caught, they will be tortured, played with, and killed at will for fun. Then they will be sold as rare items and sold as rare items. Object-like use and enslavement, the body is dissected, and resurrected on the test bench with meat paste, stones, and dog skeletons as the support..."

"Elcate, there has been no king for 1000 years..."

Duoduo whimpered and sighed.

The undead who have lost their king are no different from a group of abandoned dogs.

Listening to the bland narration of the undead named Dodo, Roland fell into complete silence.

His lips were tightly pursed and he did not speak, his eyes dimmed.

Although her sister was dragged to death by these brainless dead heads, Roland can only feel deep sorrow now.Can't afford to be angry.

"Sister, you are so stupid..."

Roland murmured.

Then, Roland made a decision.

He stretched out his right hand and pressed it firmly on Duoduo's forehead.

Duoduo was stunned for a moment, completely stupefied, and looked up at Roland blankly.

"Why are you still standing there?"

Roland said in an indifferent voice: "Swear to me. Swear to me in the name of your soul."

Duoduo's eyes gradually widened, his mouth opened slightly, the light of hope shone in his eyes, and tears flowed silently.

He was not because of Roland's actions and words, but because of the silver thorn rune shining on Roland's forehead at some point.

——That is, the crown of thorns!
"Too much. Naskes swears here—"

With an almost hoarse voice, Dodo stared closely at Roland's forehead, and said in a very slight and serious voice: "In the name of my soul, I swear to the new king of Elcate here. From today until the end of the horn Blow, I give you my life, my loyalty, and my honor—”

"I swear to fight for you with all my heart, I swear to die before you, I swear to keep nothing from you, I swear to keep your secrets, I swear to guard your beliefs, I swear to protect your glory with my life. From today , I will fight for one, live for one, and die for one. Today, every day, until death."

"I accept your life, loyalty and honor," Roland read softly, "I will swear to the death to defend your right to exist; I will defend your dignity and creed as my own life; I swear that in any danger I will never Giving up the possibility of saving you... I accept your allegiance."

As Roland's words fell, the silver seal on his forehead flickered violently.

Immediately, the gray fragments in Duoduo's eyes completely melted, revealing the blood-red pupils inside.

At the same time, his pale face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.His hair color also gradually became alive, from gray-yellow as dry as straw to silver-gray shining with warm light.

Duoduo's body trembled.

He was sobbing.
