A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees Chapter 206

Chapter 206 Necromancers are prohibited from participating in battles!

　　In the wasteland northwest of Rolling Stone Town.

 A long queue winds its way away.

 The cavalry led their horses at the front.

 Carrying a large amount of baggage and carriages in the middle.

 At the back are the garrison, militia, reserves and temporarily recruited civilians.

  Such a huge marching scene obviously exceeded the number requirement of 1,000 people.

But this doesn't actually break the rules.

 The secret war order requires that only registered personnel on both sides of the battle can actually participate in the battle.

 But it does not stipulate that only these 1,000 people will complete all transportation, logistics and other work during war mobilization.

 In this way.

Rolling Stone Town recruited a large number of civilians to provide transportation labor.

This will not only ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers to the greatest extent, but also carry more heavy-duty war supplies.

for example.

Hide in the oxcarts located in the middle of the team and covered with thick tarpaulins are four ballistae carts and a dragon crossbow.

 The carriage board near the ballista.

 It was also filled with an astonishing amount of ironware.

 These iron tools will play a crucial role in the next battle.

  Matthew looked away from the vehicle.

 At this time, he was riding the Red Flame Nightmare, wandering on the west side of the convoy.

 Looking further west.

 A broad river appeared on the horizon.

 Across the river is High Leaf Collar.

The end of the river is their destination, the "moss-green hills" with extremely complex terrain.

 It is midsummer and the climate is hot.

The sky above Rolling Stone Town was clear, and the soldiers squinted their eyes and covered their heads as they hurried on.

 But after approaching the mossy green hills.

 Sudden relief from heat.

All this was affected by the heavy clouds above the hills.

Matthew stared at the thick dark clouds, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

 He quickly walked around to the other side of the team, walking side by side with Zeller and Rhaegar.

“The weather in the mossy green hills is likely to be an unexpected factor. If it rains in the middle of the night today, the ground will become very muddy, which may affect our journey plan.”

Matthew said in a deep voice.

Zeller looked worried:

 “I'm afraid it's the effect of magic.”

 Matthew also had the same concerns.

For senior mages in certain fields, it is not difficult to make clouds and rain, but to influence the weather in such a large range, at least a senior person in the storm field or precipitation field is required to do it.

According to their current intelligence.

There is no such character in the black dragon army of Gao Ye Ling, but if this stormy weather really comes for Rolling Stone Town, it is very likely to cause a series of chain reactions.

 They have to deal with it carefully.

 “I'll ask Luo Lan about the situation later.”

Matthew said.

 “Where is Richard?”

Zeller replied:

“He is still in Rolling Stone Town and is preparing to close the net. Once the warlock suspected of being a Thousand Changer is dealt with, he will rush over to join us.”

Matthew asked:

 “Have you noticed anything?”

Zeller frowned:

“Since you reported his existence to me, I have been tracking and intercepting him 24 hours a day.

It turns out that Thomas is indeed a spy for High Leaf Collar——

 He contacted a local aristocratic family in the High Leaf Territory, and that aristocratic family was the first human force to defect to the black dragon lord.

 Thomas was ordered by the Black Dragon Lord to steal information about Rolling Stone Town. This shows that Maeonoghas is not as simple as we thought. His last attack was the result of careful preparation.

 Another point that is more suspicious is that I found that Thomas's warlock power comes from a certain type of five-color dragon, but not the black dragon. "

Matthew nodded:

 "Five Dragons Alliance". "

This word is not unfamiliar. Ever since Melinda mentioned it that night, Matthew has secretly looked it up.

It's just that most intelligence channels can only get a simple name.

Only Lorraine's gossip revealed more—

This is a dragon alliance formed under the will of the Dragon God Brooke.

  Currently only active in the south.

  But as time goes by, if Dragon God Brooke can increase his penetration into the human world, it is very likely that the five-color dragons in the main material world will unite under his inspiration.

 This situation is by no means good news for mankind.

 The power of the warlock who works for the black dragon comes from another five-color dragon—

 This added a touch of gloom to the already foggy battle.

“Don't worry, we are not unprepared.”

Matthew encouraged:

“Countless pairs of eyes from the Seven Saints Alliance are staring at this battle. Even if the five-color dragons really want to make some big news, the legendary mages won't allow it.”

Zeller smiled helplessly:

“Fortunately, Rolling Stone has you, otherwise I would still have a big question mark as to whose side the legendary mage is on.”

 Matthew also smiled.

 Zeller's concerns only show that he understands the virtues of mages too well.

　　That is indeed the case.

Without Matthew joining the alliance, Rolling Stone Town would be at a disadvantage in this battle.

“Do you think Maeonoghas is reading our information now?”

Zeller asked.

Matthew shrugged:

 “I don't know, maybe so.”

“Fortunately, we also got their information. Maybe this is a battle with semi-public information.”

 Speaking of this, Matthew couldn't help but recall the war games they had been conducting crazily these past few days.

He had previously obtained the registration list of the High Leaf Territory from Fandral, which roughly recorded the distribution of the High Leaf Territory's troops in this battle—

　　　　chief: black dragon Mae Nogas;

  Lieutenants: Dragon Priest Devara LV19/Drow Assassin Horns LV17;

Unit type: 300 human soldiers (half of them are mercenaries, half of them are human soldiers who surrendered in the high leaf collar);

 The total number of kobolds, jackals, etc. is 300;

  Bearbug 100;

  Orcs 200;

 Several bodyguards of the Black Dragon Lord;

 There are about 20 drow secret troops;"

 The good news is, almost all of them are infantry.

The bad news is that the advantage of cavalry in most areas of the Moss Green Hills is not obvious.

Matthew et al. have carefully analyzed this registration list.

 Leave aside the Black Dragon Lord himself.

 The elite among them are 100 bugbears and 200 orcs.

  Bugbears are very tall and strong, and can be used as a mysterious version of trolls, and they are not afraid of death and have infinite strength;

Orcs are also a first-class infantry race. Matthew is currently unable to obtain their equipment status, but considering that the Black Dragon Lord has been searching in the High Leaf Territory, it is estimated that the best equipment has been given to them, so it is not much different.

Half-orcs are physically strong and fight **** battles, becoming more and more courageous. They have obvious advantages in hand-to-hand combat, and are probably inferior to the barbarians and trolls in the north.

 The others are all miscellaneous soldiers.

Kobolds and gnolls can only fight with the wind.

 The mercenaries and human soldiers of the High Leaf Territory may not be willing to work for the Black Dragon Lord.

therefore.

As long as the opponent's 300 elites can be annihilated, the hope of winning on the frontal battlefield will be infinite.

No matter how strong the Black Dragon is, it cannot reverse the situation.

  Comparatively.

Rolling Stone's roster is a little more balanced—

　　　　chief: Rhaegar

  Lieutenants: Matthew/Zeller/Donovan

 Unit type: 200 human cavalry (including knight attendants);

 Garrison (270 infantry, 30 archers);

  Militia and reserves 300;

  The Breakers Mercenary Group has 121 people;

 8 members of the Special Operations Force (Lorain, Richard, Leewich, Lumiere, Leila, Obest, Clegg, Samantha);

certainly.

 Equilibrium is equilibrium.

  The real elite are the 200 cavalry and Donovan's Formbreaker mercenary group.

 How much effort the latter is willing to contribute is still unknown.

Hence, the three people repeatedly deduced three core points about this battle—

“First, the special operations forces must try their best to contain or even kill the Black Dragon Lord, and at least pull him away from the main battlefield.

 Second, seize Watch Mountain as soon as possible and win in site mode as much as possible, or use this as an opportunity to seize the initiative in further progress in the battle.

 Third, conditions for cavalry to charge must be created on the frontal battlefield. "

 The above three items are easy to say.

 But at the implementation level, no one can guarantee that it can be achieved 100%.

 So the three of them imagined countless possible scenarios for each other.

Especially Zeller, who wrote more than 3,000 entries on the possibility of war situation deduction.

  So that you can respond quickly to any situation on the battlefield.

It can be said.

 For this war, everyone in Rolling Stone Town has worked hard and made full preparations.

 According to Rhaegar -

“If I can't win in this way, then I may really have to go home and breed.”

 In order to prevent that scene from happening.

Rhaegar's current state can be said to be very powerful.

He was riding a good horse with hellish blood. The armor on his body was tight, and three spears were hung on the horse's back. The big sword on his back shone with colorful greasy luster from time to time in the sun.

 Obviously, various oils have been applied in advance this time.

 At this time Rhaegar adjusted his horse and came closer.

His expression was serious, but his voice was very low:

 “I heard you locked up Melinda?”

Matthew glanced at him in surprise, and then glanced at Zeller. Zeller raised his hands to indicate that it was not him.

Matthew had to explain:

 “I think you don't seem to have any defense against her, so...”

 “Well done!”

Rhaegar said viciously:

"I've had enough of that woman, but because of Sif, I can't do it myself."

 Matthew breathed a sigh of relief:

 “It's good that you understand.”

“Actually, I plan to release her once the war is over…”

Unexpectedly, Rhaegar quickly waved his hand:

"Don't!"

 “Don't!”

“She is now the senior magic consultant of Stuluk Industries. Letting her go will cause endless troubles. It's better to lock her up for a little longer!”

Matthew hesitated:

 “But private confinement in Mount Blackso costs money.”

Rhaegar waved his hand:

 “I'll go out.”

Matthew's eyes lit up, and he looked at him suspiciously:

 “Do you still have money?”

Rhaegar coughed slightly, and then said to Matthew in a low voice:

"I still have some small savings. Since Melinda left, my consumption expenditure has been greatly reduced. I have saved a lot over the past ten years. I should be able to lock her up for a while, right?!"

Matthew thought the same way. He was a prince after all, and his family must be well-off, so he no longer had any psychological burden:

“About 10,000 gold coins a week.”

Rhaegar was astonished.

  After a while.

He hesitated and said:

 “For Sif's sake, let's forget it.”

 Matthew couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Zeller also showed a speechless expression.

However, this little episode diluted the tension between the three of them.

  After a while.

Matthew took out a jar from his arms and handed it to Zeller carefully:

"Give it to the archers, but be sure to use it carefully and not touch any wounds. For humans, this thing is enough to bleed and seal the throat."

Zeller took it cautiously:

 “'dart frog toxin'?” "

Matthew nodded. This was the toxin produced by the ability "Gift of the Dart Frog" obtained from Su Ya.

 This is the only amount I have accumulated after so long.

 But the effect is also quite amazing.

This toxin is absolutely fatal to any small to medium sized creature.

 Matthew even considered poisoning.

 But if you think about it carefully, the success rate of poisoning is not high. If it fails, it will be a pure waste. It is better to leave it to the archers, which can at least guarantee a certain efficiency.

after.

 The three of them had the last communication before the battle.

 As the team gradually approached the mountainous area in the southern part of the hills.

 Matthew rode to the front of the group.

At this time, Silver Snake Richard had already taken care of the spy warlock and caught up with the team again.

 So he and Rhaegar said hello.

  The senior adventurers belonging to the special operations force quickly assembled around him.

 Loland took out the piccolo and played it gently.

 The next second.

 In the surprised eyes of the soldiers.

Horses with fat bodies, white manes, and phantom-like running speeds ran over from the western horizon.

 "Phantom Horse".

This group of magical creatures is a group of Loran Contract.

 Phantom horses can run three times faster than ordinary horses, and have the advantages of both short-distance sprinting and long-distance running.

 It is difficult for ordinary people to gain the friendship of a phantom pony.

Except Matthew at the moment.

 Everyone got on their horses one after another.

 “Let's take the first step!”

Matthew waved to Rhaegar and the others.

The nine members of the special operations team instantly broke away from the team and began to run towards the mossy green hills at extremely fast speeds.

 It didn't take long for their figures to disappear from everyone's eyes.

 At noon.

 On a small soil **** fifty or sixty meters high.

 A group of people stood proudly on the top of the mountain.

 The phantom ponies were grazing leisurely at the foot of the mountain.

 A blue light lit up above his head.

 A magic carpet descends slowly.

A middle-aged mage with a pale face and a scholarly temperament sat on top of the magic carpet.

"You came quite quickly, but remember not to cross the boundary. You cannot cross this small **** until the war officially begins."

 The middle-aged mage warned.

Matthew nodded and then asked:

“You are the judge of this battle, right? What do you call me?”

 The middle-aged mage said calmly:

“During the war, we will not have any contact with the registered mages of the territory, so you don't need to know my name.

 You just need to remember my number.

 My number is Judgment 07.

 Act as the deputy referee for the Rolling Stone side in this battle.

 I will record everything that happens in the Rolling Stone Army truthfully. Please do not try to bribe, threaten, intimidate or kidnap me.

Each battle has at least one legendary mage watching over it.

 The battle in Moss Green Hills is even more special.

 At present, there are more than 100 mages evenly distributed above the hills.

 They will all observe your every move in an invisible manner.

 So don't even think about crossing the line!

certainly.

 As long as everything is done according to the rules, you don't need to feel too much pressure.

 We are only arbiters and will never interfere in the war itself. "

Matthew showed a clear expression:

“So for now we just have to stay here, right?”

 Judgment 07 nodded calmly and said:

“I have already verified your identity, and there is no problem with it compared to the list. Now I just need to verify the identity of the next troops.”

Matthew bowed to him politely:

"OK."

"Thanks for your hard work."

 Judgment 07 said nothing, but drove the magic carpet back to the sky.

Loland couldn't help but pinch his nostrils:

 “With so many people staring at me, I'm embarrassed to even read Little Yellow Book.”

Lumiere looked at the sky curiously:

“Are there more than 100 mages up there? Don't they feel it's hot in the sky?”

Clegg analyzed:

"I guess that's because they all used invisibility."

Lumiere looked confused:

“Aren't units using invisibility afraid of heat?”

Clegg said solemnly:

"We can feel the heat because of the sun. If the invisibility spell is turned on, the sun won't be able to shine on them. Of course they won't feel the heat... right?"

 Speaking of the last sentence.

 She also looked a little unsure.

 Then he looked at Samantha and Matthew with questioning eyes.

Samantha pondered:

"I can occasionally enter the invisible state, but heat and cold are affected by factors in the surrounding environment. Light alone doesn't seem to have much to do with it, right?"

Matthew was also stumped by this strange thinking angle.

  Will units under the invisibility spell be affected by the heat of the sun?

 “This seems to depend on the nature of the invisibility...”

 He looked at Richard while thinking.

As an expert in stealth, the latter just turned his head silently and seemed to dislike participating in the discussion of this issue.

finally.

Roland stood up to help Matthew and said:

“The easiest way to know the answer to a question is not to think, but to act.”

As he spoke, he took out a huge loudspeaker from somewhere and put it to his mouth, then raised his head and shouted into the sky:

 “Hello~~~!”

 “Magicians in heaven!”

 “Are you hot~~~~”

Roland's shouts formed an echo that echoed in the hills for a long time.

 One minute passed.

 No one answered.

Richard couldn't help but laughed:

"The mages are not so free to come back..." However, he has not finished speaking yet.

From a corner above the sky, voices could not help but come from one after another:

 “Of course it's hot!”

 “It's so hot that I can't bear it!”

 “If it weren't for the magic carpet's built-in cooling spell, I would have been dried out long ago!”

“It's high in the sky at noon in the summer, and I'm almost turned into a star…”

Complaints from nearby mages came one after another.

●The originally quiet moss-green hills seemed to have suddenly turned into a vegetable market!

 The mages are complaining about the bad weather.

　　Although they didn't show up.

  But their location can be determined from the distance of the sound.

 Everyone looked up in wonder.

Lumiere even wanted to chat with one of the mages.

But very quickly.

 A stern female voice sounded:

 “Quiet!”

 The wet market suddenly turned into a library.

Matthew suddenly became happy when he heard this voice.

 Follow.

 That Judgment 07 quickly appeared.

 He flew in front of Matthew's people and said with an unhappy expression:

 “Don't try to get close to the mage who is watching!”

 Is Matthew so strict?

He had a smile on his face:

“Sorry, my friends are very curious about magic, so this little episode happened.”

 Judgment 07 is unmoved:

 “A verbal warning.”

 “If you commit the crime again, it will be considered as a provocation to the rules of battle!”

Matthew felt unhappy, but the war was imminent, and it was obviously not a wise thing to break up with the deputy judge.

 So he apologized in the most sincere tone and said:

 “Not next time.”

 Seeing that he had a good attitude, Judgment 07's expression softened.

 He whispered to Matthew:

"Don't do anything trivial in public. I know you want to confirm their position, but this has actually affected the fairness of the battle."

“I met Lord Ekmund this morning. He gave me a lot of good advice. For example, I will be stricter at the beginning. Only after I leave a lasting impression on others can I cooperate with you better.”

“But in fact, I don't have much room to operate. I can only try to record words that are beneficial to you in the written record.”

 Are they from Eckmond again?

Matthew felt quite complicated in his heart, but verbally he could only express his gratitude.

  After sending off Judgment 07 again.

Matthew said hello to everyone and signaled everyone to stay calm.

  3 pm.

Matthew saw that the time was almost up, so he rode Nightmare alone to a piece of land southeast of the mountain.

This land is close to the Gold Prospector Basin and has countless burrows on it.

 He quickly came to a deep cave.

 Then he began to sing loudly.

 「Summoning of the Dead」!

 As Matthew chanted, skeletons or zombies crawled out of the holes one after another!

 At first it was nothing.

 As the number of undead around Matthew increased, a sea of ​​undead was formed.

Matthew could feel that there were many more eyes on him.

 Matthew was unmoved.

 Just call.

 Seeing the number of skeletons and zombies increasing.

 Judgment 07 finally couldn't sit still.

 He appeared next to Matthew and asked in a low voice:

 “What's going on? What are you doing!?”

Matthew said with a smile:

"I am a necromancer. I have already registered it on the list. Is it normal for a necromancer to summon undead creatures?"

 Judgment 07 hesitated.

Soon he looked towards the unfathomable hole:

“But isn't this too much?”

“Your current summoning scale, based on normal summoning spells, requires at least one negative energy channel to be achieved.”

Matthew said strangely:

 “Can't it be that I have outstanding magic ability?”

 Judgment 07 was stunned for a moment.

Soon he gritted his teeth:

“Okay, in theory, the summons of the Necromancer are indeed part of personal strength.”

 “But...I have to help you polish it up.”

 As he spoke, he took out a small notebook.

 A quick note on the above—

“August 1 at 3 pm.

Matthew (the Necromancer), the deputy general of Rolling Stone Town, happened to find a large number of bones in the wild.

 Matthew took the opportunity to use the summoning of the dead.

 Get skeletons*480, zombies*480, and some ghosts.

This part of the undead army is a reflection of the necromancer's personal strength and does not conflict with the number limit in the war registration list. "

 He deliberately tilted the notebook sideways while writing.

 Matthew naturally saw it clearly.

 “Thank you very much!”

Matthew said enthusiastically.

 Judgment 07 waved his hand and flew into the sky on the magic carpet again.

 Not long.

Matthew then moved towards the top of the mountain with more than 1,000 undead.

Of course he transported these undead from the cemetery to the pit in advance!

If Matthew really wanted to summon so many undead from scratch, he would have to drain all his mana and spiritual power.

 In fact.

Just maintaining such a large number of undead in action took up a lot of his concentration.

 It is almost impossible to cast spells above level three.

 This is a situation where you can't have your cake and eat it too.

  If Matthew wants to release high-level spells, he must give up controlling the undead.

 But in that case, the attacks of the undead would be somewhat random and could easily cause accidental injuries.

 Hence in the early stages of the war.

 Matthew will play more of a behind-the-scenes manipulator.

 Only when he really needs to show his fangs.

 Only then will he give the enemy a thunderous blow!

4 pm.

 The north side of the mountain is already filled with densely packed undead.

Matthew ordered the undead to stay put, and then breathed a sigh of relief, holding a high-quality negative energy stone in his hand to restore their vitality.

  After a while.

 He began to chant another version of the summoning of the dead!

 In a moment.

 A huge bone dragon fell from the sky!

 And behind this skull dragon.

There is actually a three-headed bone dragon following behind!

 This scene once again alarmed the mages in the air.

Matthew even heard people whispering and pointing.

But he ignored it.

 Just said hello to Xiao Bo happily.

 It seems that Xiao Fei is doing well in the negative energy plane, and he has acquired a new bone dragon brother.

 The development and growth of the Bone Dragon Legion is just around the corner!

However, at this time, Judgment 07 couldn't help but pop up again.

 He asked a little anxiously:

 “Where did you summon the four-headed bone dragon?”

“This quantity seems to be a bit excessive...”

Matthew asked rhetorically:

"Mr. Philolius is my summon, and the other three-headed bone dragons are his followers. In theory, they are also part of my personal strength. I remember that the alliance did not issue detailed rules for this, right?"

 Judgment 07 seems to be feeling a little bit of pressure:

“But in this case, the number of people actually participating in the battle will far exceed the provisions of the battle.”

Matthew comforted him:

"take it easy."

 “The summons will be finished soon.”

 Judgment 07 was a surprise:

 “Still want to summon?”

 He hasn't finished speaking yet.

 A huge gray space-time rift suddenly appeared on the east side of the small earth bag.

But I saw the bone dragon Philolius roaring with his head raised!

 With his roar.

 A large number of undead poured out of the negative energy plane crazily—

 Skeletons, zombies, ghosts;

 Mummy, vampire, Darth Vader, banshee!

 Although the latter four are relatively rare.

However, the unique temperament of the mid-level undead still attracted a lot of attention.

 Because it is an interdimensional summoning.

 The number of undead brought by Xiaobo was not large.

 There are only about 500 in total.

But these 500 animals are all the fine products he collected as a king in the Sixth Ring Land!

 The average quality is about the same as what Matthew has.

To know.

Matthew's undead have various special bonuses such as the Dark Life Contract!

 Period.

   An army of more than 1,500 undead surrounded the hilltop.

 Judgment 07 was completely dumbfounded:

 “Are you going to cause a natural disaster of the undead?”

  Matthew looked innocently at the verdict 07:

"There is nothing wrong with my summons. Mr. Philolius is my close partner. He is also the king of the negative energy plane. It is very restrained for a king to bring 500 undead."

“Is there any rule that says the necromancer's summons can't summon any more summons?”

 Judgment 07 looked troubled.

Soon he let out a long sigh.

 Write it down truthfully in a small notebook—

"4 pm.

  The summons of Lieutenant Matthew of Rolling Stone Town summoned 500 undead to land in the south of the Moss Green Hills.

 Considering that there is indeed no prohibition in the league rules that the summoner's summons cannot summon other summons again.

 Matthew's behavior did not violate the rules of war.

Therefore, it is approved. "

Soon he hesitated.

On the cover of another book, he wrote that he would write in a pamphlet for collecting opinions—

　　「Strongly recommend that necromancers be banned from participating in battles!」

 And the previous one of this opinion is -

　　「Strongly recommend that dragons be banned from participating in battles!」

This move was also not hidden from Matthew. After finishing writing, he smiled bitterly:

“I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. They have to formulate rules and leave loopholes. If this continues, in addition to chasing dragons, the major territories will probably start a wave of chasing necromancers.”

  Matthew expressed understanding of his work.

 But actually his mentality is none of my business.

 As long as we can win this battle.

It has nothing to do with him no matter how the subsequent rules are changed.

  Anyway, as long as there are rules-related things, there are bound to be loopholes.

This one is blocked. If the worst happens in the future, we can find another way.

　　But you can see it.

 Judgment 07 was written and passed under great pressure.

 He might as well not go to heaven later.

Just stay on the ground and stare at Matthew to see if he can do anything else.

 However, Matthew was very quiet the rest of the time.

 He controlled the undead army to stay in place.

 Until night falls.

 One after another, troops from Rolling Stone Town arrived in the south of Shanbao.

 The first to arrive were of course the cavalry troops.

 At first glance, I saw such a large number of undead.

Even the experienced cavalrymen will be a little afraid.

But very quickly.

 When they realized that these undead would not harm themselves, but would become their allies to attack the enemy, their mentality adjusted a lot.

 The same goes for other soldiers.

 Because he had been vaccinated in advance and Matthew had a good personal image.

There was only slight confusion when Rolling Stone's troops arrived, but things soon calmed down.

 Judgment 07 completed the inventory quickly.

finally.

 He will report the verification results:

“Preparations for the battle have been completed, the army in Rolling Stone Town has been confirmed, and the battle can begin!”

 The female voice from before sounded in the sky:

“The army of Gao Ye Ling has also been confirmed, let's wait for the early morning.”

 So the logistics and civilian workers began to cook.

 After the soldiers had a good meal in an orderly manner.

 The final rest began.

 In front of the small earth bag.

There was obviously a large and dense group of people.

 Overall it is quite quiet.

Most human soldiers are participating in the war for the first time, so they are inevitably nervous.

But Rhaegar and Zeller did not deliberately let them relax.

 It's okay to be nervous.

 Only appropriate tension can make people burst out with stronger fighting power.

that's all.

 Time passes minute by minute.

 At 11:30 pm.

 The soldiers completed the formation of the array again.

  At 12 o'clock.

 The female voice in the sky said:

 “The first battle in Moss Green Hills has officially begun!”

 The next second.

 A ray of crystal white light rose into the sky.

 Everyone squinted their eyes to take a closer look.

But it was Matthew riding a Pegasus who flew into the sky!

 In the night.

 Pegasus shines brightly.

Matthew was also holding a lantern in his hand. The lantern's glow fell and turned into dots of green light, guiding the direction of the undead people.

 Almost at the same time.

Matthew at the front, Rega at the center, and Zeller at the back all took out an identical scroll and tore it open!

 After a few seconds.

 All units glowed with a faint blue light.

“Hint: You used the Marching Scroll!

 Your troops' march speed +50%;

 Stamina consumption -20%! "

 Matthew was even less hesitant.

 Riding a Pegasus all the way north.

 The army of the undead took the lead, quickly crossing the mountains and rushing deeper into the mossy green hills.

 behind them.

Rhaegar raised his sword high:

 “Follow the Pegasus!”

 “Target, Watch Mountain!”

 The army from Rolling Stone quickly followed up.

　　　The civilian husbands who had applied for the draft stayed where they were.

 Silently watching the soldiers go away with expectant eyes.

 Marching at night is actually a chore.

Especially bad terrain like mossy green hills.

 Fortunately, the dark clouds overhead did not have time to turn into heavy rain.

 The land that has been stepped on by the undead is relatively hard.

More than 2,500 units in Rolling Stone Town rushed on their way crazily, holding back their energy.

 The original plan was to take about 5 hours.

 In the end, we arrived in less than three hours!

　　When Matthew rode a flying horse and led the undead to the highest hill of Watch Mountain.

 It was pitch black under the mountain in the west.

 Even the shadow of the black dragon army was not seen!

 Everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least one of the three core goals had been achieved!

At this moment, Matthew ordered the undead to build a defense line on the western hillside.

 And Rega's people also began to go up the mountain one after another.

The militiamen rushed to the top of the mountain pushing carts of iron tools.

 A large amount of war equipment was transported.

 They began to race against time to set up fortifications on the mountain!

 Until 6 o'clock in the morning.

 When the fortifications on the western hillside began to take shape.

Matthew in the sky could vaguely see the thick fog in the west.

 A dense column of troops appeared, belatedly arriving.
