Lords of All: The Moving Castle of the Dead

"They come in swarms, they are endless."

"They don't roar, but they are approaching silently."

"They are not afraid of death. For them, death is already a thing of the past. They are death itself."

"They are undead and natural disasters of death."

"Don't try to resist. If the undead comes, just run away. It will keep you alive for a while."

……

"We don't know where the undead come from, but we know that wherever they pass, there is silence and no life, which is more thorough than the plague."

"The undead are a huge ethnic group. Many powerful races have been wiped out by them, but we are just hanging on. I don't know if I can still survive."

"I have seen skeletons walking. They are one of the branches of the undead, called the skeleton undead."

"I have seen transparent bodies filled with cold light. They are one of the branches of the undead, called dead souls."

"I have seen corpses with shriveled bodies, skin and bones. They are one of the branches of the undead, called zombies."

……

"There are so many branches of the undead, but without exception, they will bring the silence of death."

"The number of skeletons and dead souls is too huge, endless, and they can never be killed. Every dead companion may join them and become one of them."

"I don't know if resistance has any effect, or if I should join them..."

The Lord of the Lower City put down the worn animal skin paper in his hand and looked at the priest beside him, "Is there only these few records in the Great Library?"

The priest turned his head and looked at the bookshelf, then looked at the city lord, and nodded.

Rat-man priests are similar to shamans. After the outbreak of rat-man technology, these rat-men with special abilities entered the Great Library. They spend all day in the Great Library, reading all the documents. No one is better than them. Learn what documents are in the Great Library.

Since the priest said there are no more, it means there really are no more. The only records about the undead are a few pieces of animal skin paper that the Lord of the City has.

Maybe there are great libraries in other city-states, but the Lord of the Lower City can't see them now.

Shaking his head helplessly, the Lower City Lord sighed.

It was a long, long time ago when the undead were raging. It is very difficult to verify the history of that era. What is even more unfortunate is that at that time, the rat people were the lowest race. They were so poor that there was not much history preserved. .

The ability to find these records is already the result of the hard work of the priests.

I can’t say it’s useless, but it’s really not that big.

Returning the animal skin paper to the priest, the city lord left the great library.

As soon as he went out, he saw the assistant running over and handed the animal skin paper replied by the upper city lord to the lower city lord.

The Lord of the Lower City murmured to himself while looking through the pages, "I haven't seen any moving cities. Those undead actually have cars and used them to establish strongholds. They should not be the same as the previous batch of humans. They are a group of skeletons. Hmm, the skeletal undead among the undead?”

After reading the reply from the upper city lord, the lower city lord exhaled a long breath.

In the documents he saw, they all recorded one thing at the end, that is, if the undead comes, run away quickly, the undead are invincible.

But the Lord of the Lower City didn't take this seriously.

The original rat-men were too weak, not to mention the undead. Most races had to run away when faced with rat-men.

But look at it now, the rat people are a serious and powerful tribe here in the wasteland!

It has a large population, advanced weapons, and occupies a large area of ​​land. Compared with the original rat people, it can be said that they are in the sky and the earth. There is no comparison.

The Lord of the Lower City didn't want to run away in despair just because of a few sentences in the document.

Fight, definitely have to fight.

Not only did he want to fight, he also wanted to destroy the undead.

Make great contributions!

The undead are scary, but the Skaven are even more powerful!

The lower city lord rushed back to the city lord's palace with his assistant, quickly signed the document and handed it to the assistant, "Go, gather the soldiers, enter the first level alert state, mobilize everyone, prepare to go out, and eliminate those undead souls!"

"Yes!"

The assistant took the document, saluted, and hurried out.

The bells rang in the Irmaha underground city.

The busy rat men raised their heads and looked towards the city.

"Call up! You guys get ready!"

The farmer came to the farm with a big belly and shouted loudly. The working slaves raised their heads numbly. It was not until the farmer repeated it for the second time that their faces showed expressions.

The empty eyes suddenly became radiant, the pupils gradually turned red, and the long-lost strength and passion were gradually returning to their bodies.

Screams and roars rang out from the farm.

The only way for slave ratmen to get rid of their identity is through war. As long as they can survive the war and kill the enemy, they will change from the status of slave ratmen to civilians and regain their freedom!

For slave ratmen, war is the beginning of new life.

Instead of dying numbly and hopelessly in an underground farm, he might as well fight hard and go to the battlefield to fight for a chance of freedom.

"The City Lord of Feng Yilmaha Underground City has issued an order. For the prosperity and stability around Yilmaha, for the sustainability of our peace, and for our lives, women, and children, we are now recruiting clan warriors! Warriors, this is a demonstration. It’s time for you to use force! Join the battle enthusiastically!”

The officials of the City Lord's Mansion unfolded a piece of animal skin paper and read loudly the recruitment order of the City Lord's Mansion. A dense crowd of rat men were surrounding them, listening attentively.

The older ratmen were dismissive of the recruitment information. The longer they lived, the more they naturally knew. They knew very well what the recruitment order meant - to die.

What kind of soldiers, what kind of warriors, isn't it just to recruit more cannon fodder and shields?

It is true that participating in the war will allow the rat people to cross classes, but classes are not so easy to cross, and their lives can easily be lost.

The so-called clan rat people are the common people in various city-states.

Pingming's status is higher than that of slaves, but they are also at the bottom.

If you want to cross class, the easiest way is to join the army, and the other is to go directly to the battlefield through a call-up order.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of the recruitment, the Ratmen who go to the battlefield directly through the recruitment order will naturally lose their merit to the Ratmen who join the army.

But the prerequisite is to survive and kill the enemy bravely.

Among the rat people, there are always some legends circulating, which are stories of civilian rat people participating in wars, returning with military honors, jumping up ranks, becoming superiors, and winning beautiful women back home.

The protagonist in the legend is undoubtedly a hero among ordinary rat people, and he is also the most down-to-earth grassroots hero, so the story is naturally popular.

People all know that these are just for publicity and are a lie.

But the young ratmen don't think so. They feel that this is the shortcut to success!

If you fight once, you may become rich!

Rat people only have a few years to live. If they don’t work hard, they will regret it until they die!

Compared to the disdain of the rat men, the young rat men's eyes were shining, ready to sign up for the war.

"Assemble the soldiers and prepare all units to go at any time!"

"Who is the enemy this time?"

"It is said to be the undead."

In the Ratman barracks, the officers received the transfer order from their assistant and did not hesitate at all. They immediately got ready to mobilize the Ratmen troops.

The Ilmaha underground city suddenly became busy. All the rat people knew that the war was coming, and the enemy was the undead they had never imagined.

……

Wasteland, dead land, fortress of the undead.

"Finally done!"

Listening to the notification sound from the system, Li Ziyu perked up, jumped up from the recliner, opened the door and ran out.

His sudden appearance startled the kitten girl Mengmeng who was dozing outside. When she looked over blankly, Li Ziyu's figure had disappeared.

When Li Ziyu appeared on the roof of the main building, Damenlevsky, Biepta and others also rushed over.

They were all familiar with Li Ziyu's habits. Whenever he ran out in such a hurry, it meant he had new life.

"What's new?" Damenlevsky stood next to Li Ziyu and asked.

"Hey, good stuff!" Li Ziyu said mysteriously.

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed toward the sky.

The raging wind and sand suddenly stopped, and everything became quiet and peaceful. After a while, there was a faint sound.

The voice is ethereal, penetrating the heart and reaching the depths of the soul.

The sound seemed to come from an extremely distant place, very ethereal, ranging from being vaguely heard to being completely audible.

It's a language I've never heard before. It's weird and complicated. Although I can't understand it, it has the ability to make the soul peaceful.

"Hymn?"

After listening for a long time, Damenlevsky suddenly said doubtfully.

He understood that the voice was singing something rhythmically. He couldn't understand it, but he felt that it was a hymn.

Is it a compliment or something?

do not know.

The space rippled, like water waves, and a huge and thick stone tablet emerged from the void.

"Ok?"

A look of surprise appeared on Beebta's face.

He is the Lord of the Void, and his perception of space is far stronger than anyone present.

When the stone tablet appeared, he could detect a change in the space. Behind the ripples, there was still a space, but the aura emanating from that space made him feel silence...the silence of death!

What's behind?

When he had the idea of ​​exploring something, he felt an extremely dangerous feeling in his heart. A voice told him in his heart: He will die, he will die, he will die as long as he goes.

Such a strong intuition made Biebta give up the idea of ​​exploring that space in an instant.

For strong people like them, intuition is very useful. Compared with judgment, sometimes trusting intuition is the most correct choice.

After the stone tablet appeared, the praise continued, and the runes on the stone tablet lit up one by one, covering the surface of the tablet.

The invisible energy spread, swept through everyone's bodies, and then passed through the bodies, covering the entire undead fortress.

Psychic protective wall.

Like the magic protective wall, it is a protective defense method.

As the psychic protective wall unfolded, the sound of praise slowly weakened until it disappeared, leaving only the huge stone tablet suspended in the air.

The stone tablet is rectangular, about 10 meters high. It has a coat of arms written in faint blue runes and relief decorations with an obvious undead style. On the left and right sides, there are two huge skeletons. They stretched out their hands and pulled the stele, as if two people were unfolding animal skin paper.

"What is the use of this... stone tablet?" Damenlevsky raised his head, stared at the stone tablet, and asked blankly.

He sensed powerful energy on the stone tablet, but that energy was very stable, hidden inside the stone tablet, and circulated without hesitation.

"Hey, this stone tablet is of great use. I would like to solemnly introduce to you the special building of the Skeleton Undead Clan, the Undead Obelisk!" Li Ziyu said proudly.

"What's the use?" Damenlevsky was not interested in the name of the stone tablet in front of him. He was only interested in the use of the obelisk.

【Obelisk of the Dead】

[Attribute: Special Building-Monument]

[Introduction: The immovable characteristics of the soul base station made the skeleton undead quite dissatisfied. They decided to transform the soul base station, but accidentally developed the undead obelisk. A large amount of soul energy was injected into the obelisk of the undead, and runes were engraved on it, allowing the energy in it to circulate. The obelisk of the undead can be suspended in the air and moved in a way that even the undead skeletons cannot figure out. The power of the runes allows the obelisk to release a psychic protective wall, and even create a psychic field to protect the undead skeletons inside. At the same time, it offsets and weakens the damage caused by sunlight and holy light. The Undead Monument not only brings a more flexible means of communication to the skeletal undead, but also gives the undead a greater advantage on the battlefield. 】

[Construction requirements: Skeletons*10 units, Soul energy*50 units, Stones*5 units, Metal alloys*1 ingots, Psychic cores*4,...]

[Occupied area: None]

Li Ziyu explained the function of the Monument of the Dead to Damenlevsky.

Damenlevsky curled his lips in disdain.

It turned out to be something used for defense. It was really boring. I thought it was the same powerful weapon as the previous Fist of Nirvana.

Damenlevsky, who advocates force and likes to use offense as defense, said he has no interest in the Monument of the Dead.

Beeb Tower: +1

The two reckless men made Li Ziyu roll his eyes. These two guys who were all about muscles were really convinced.

Is the Monument of the Undead really simple?

Of course it's not simple. Just look at the long introduction in the system and you'll know that this thing is not simple.

Its function is not independent, but used to enhance the strength of the group, and it acts on the entire battlefield.

What is the biggest advantage of the undead skeletons is that they are large in number. What is the biggest disadvantage is that they are too fragile. If there is any large-scale magic attack, a large area of ​​the undead skeletons will die.

Moreover, sunlight will make the undead weak, and the holy light is even more lethal to the undead.

But all this will be improved after the Monument of the Undead appears.

Within the scope of the obelisk, the damage caused by sunlight and holy light to the undead will be offset, and at the same time, it can also provide a psychic protective wall for the undead to defend against range attacks.

The most important thing is that this thing is mobile and can follow the undead to the battlefield!

It is said in the system introduction that the Undead Monument gives the undead a greater advantage on the battlefield.

This is really awesome.

Even now, it has a great effect.

Li Ziyu planned to establish a stronghold in the central area and wanted to place a soul base station.

Here comes the problem. If you want to place the soul base station, you need Li Ziyu to drive through the undead fortress.

Such a large undead fortress is too easy to be exposed, and the exposure of the undead fortress will cause the attention of the rat people, which will make his early arrangements in vain.

In the past two days, Li Ziyu has been hesitating whether to place a soul base station or not?

If you don't place a soul base station, it will be more difficult to transmit information the further you go, but if you put a base station, you have to bear the risk of exposure.

Fortunately, when he was researching, he noticed the Monument of the Undead, which was a big surprise.

With the Monument of the Undead, he can still hide in the dead land of the wasteland and let the undead escort the obelisk of the undead to the past, making the rat people feel that the undead are the same as them and not the subordinates of the time traveler lord.

This is the true kingly way to develop secretly!

Damenlevsky and Biebta didn't understand this approach. In their philosophy, just rush in and it's over. Why bother with so much!

It was useless to talk to the two rough guys. Li Ziyu quickly began to arrange the next step, selecting the undead and letting the undead escort the undead obelisk to the central area.
