Valon: Even a supporting character can change his fate.

On the plain, an army of three hundred men was advancing.

This army was well-organized. Not only did they have brand-new armor and sophisticated weapons, they also had spearmen, archers and other types of soldiers. More importantly, among these 300-man army, there were also 100 well-equipped cavalrymen.

With such luxurious equipment, there is no need to say much about the identity of this army. It is the kingdom's army drawn from the royal capital. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most elite force in the entire kingdom.

Walking in front of the team at this time was the general of this army, Thorn, and on his left and right were two deputies who were also riding horses.

Thorne's identity is not simple. He is not a nobleman, nor a commoner, but a real member of the royal family.

In recent years, many young talents have emerged among the nobility. Their presence has greatly increased the territory of the kingdom, but it has also aroused the fear of the royal family.

For this reason, the royal family will deliberately cultivate the royal children, find ways to let them achieve success and establish prestige in the kingdom, and it would be best if they can suppress these noble children. Only in this way can the royal family's ruling position be stabilized.

The same is true for this military expedition.

Because no trace of the undead has ever been found in the kingdom, but considering that they can trade with the nobles, it shows that they still have some wisdom and strength.

To be on the safe side, the kingdom's most elite troops were sent out. Together with the local militia and logistics forces, it would certainly not be a problem to destroy them, and by the way, it would also give the royal children some military merits.

Not only did the leaders think so, but team leader Thorn also thought so.

However, Thorn's qualifications were very limited. Although he had experience in participating in wars before, most of the time he was in charge of logistics and transportation, or he followed capable officers to gain benefits.

This was the first time for him to lead a team personally, and Thorn had no experience in this regard. However, this kind of marching process was too painful and boring.

In order to wipe out the group of undead as soon as possible and return to the capital to enjoy life earlier, Thorn repeatedly urged to speed up the march.

Soon Thorn led his army to the first town attacked by the lich.

But Thorn had no idea about this. He arrived outside the town, but did not go in. Instead, he found a messenger and asked him to knock on the door.

Soon the city gate was opened and a dozen militiamen walked out. After the leader briefly explained the situation, the large army entered the city.

"My lord, something is wrong."

As soon as we entered the city, the adjutant next to us noticed something was wrong and reminded us, "Isn't it too quiet here?"

After hearing the adjutant's doubts, Thorn looked at the guy who was holding his horse in front of him, and knocked on his shoulder with the back of his long sword without any courtesy and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

The man was not angry at being treated like this. He responded to the matter with a smile, saying that Thorn was of noble status and it would be bad if those peasants were allowed to run around and shout in the street and bump into Thorn.

It must be said that Thorne benefited greatly from this man's words. The other party did not doubt him at all and smiled as he asked the other party to continue leading the way.

Thorne and his army did not go to the city lord's mansion to rest. Instead, after entering the town, they found an area nearby to welcome the army and brought out all kinds of fine wine and meat.

Although Thorne looked down on these crudely prepared foods, he was very satisfied with their attitude. After all, this was the edge of the kingdom, a place with poor mountains and bad waters. It was unrealistic to ask them to bring out any delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

The royal family looked down upon Thorn, but the troops he brought were different. Although they were the elite of the kingdom, they were ultimately selected from civilians.

The reason why they did not select from the noble children with better backgrounds was mainly because they did not want the power of the nobles to expand further.

In terms of disciples and qualifications, these commoners from the lower classes are certainly not as good as the nobles, but they also have their advantages, which is that they are easy to support.

All you need to do is feed them a little bit better than what they usually eat, not much, just a little bit, to ensure that they have enough to eat every meal, and these people will train madly and be willing to fight for the kingdom in battle.

So, even though these soldiers are the elite of the kingdom, they actually don't eat that well. The fact that they didn't rush to grab all the meat when they saw it shows that they have strict discipline.

These soldiers had huge appetites to begin with, and since the border town was not that wealthy, the prepared food was quickly eaten up.

Thorn could naturally see that the soldiers he brought with him were not full, but he also knew that if he really let these people eat as much as they wanted, they might not even be able to eat up all the food in the town.

They came to fight the undead, not to oppress the people, and Thorn was very clear about this.

So after the soldiers finished eating all the food provided by the town, Thorn did not ask for more. Instead, he asked the soldiers to rest where they were and recover their strength as quickly as possible.

After resting for about two hours, Thorn led his soldiers again and set off towards the town occupied by the undead.

What Thorn didn't know was that as soon as he left with his army, the doors of those houses opened, but the people who came out were not the residents of this town, but skeleton soldiers holding weapons.

The humans who went out of the city to welcome the army and the humans who entertained them were not humans of this town, but refugees carefully selected by the lechs and taken in at that time.

Since these are the elite of the kingdom, and they do not have a good understanding of the current strength of the undead, they naturally have to take advantage of this opportunity to give them a heavy blow, and it would be best if they could kill all of them.

In this way, not only can the kingdom be severely damaged, but their weapons and equipment can also be seized, and more powerful undead units can be summoned to buy more time for subsequent developments.

Most importantly, Wolfe knew very well the nature of those nobles.

Even though these nobles are extremely respectful to the royal family on a daily basis, it is just a superficial show. They are afraid that the royal family's iron fist will hit them, so no one dares to jump out and be the first to speak out.

But if the royal army suffered a devastating blow here and showed signs of fatigue, the nobles would rush forward like sharks smelling blood.

By then, there will be no need for the undead to take action, as the kingdom will be in chaos on its own.

By then, it would not be impossible for them to take advantage of the situation, overthrow the entire kingdom, or even establish a kingdom controlled by the undead.

In order to achieve this goal, the Lich and others have made sufficient preparations, and the people and food to welcome the kingdom's army are the first great gift to them.
