Chapter 240: Chapter 235: Just Along the Way Chapter 240: Chapter 235: Just Along the Way “Do you know what the countries around you will do when the Necromantic Fog appears?”

“…”

“They will send legendary powerhouses leading their elite legions, stationed in the fortresses bordering your country, and then wait for the moment when the Necromantic Fog dissipates.”

“How can they do this?” The girl’s body was trembling. She already guessed what those countries wanted to do, “Aren’t they afraid of the same disaster falling upon them?”

“It’s a less than one percent chance,” Muria spoke sarcastically. “Moreover, this time, it’s already chosen your Bavaria Kingdom.”

“They just need to wait. They don’t have to do anything, eventually, there will be a kingdom without a master and no strong protectors for them to occupy, to plunder.”

The Undead Council’s Centennial Destruction, an action to replenish cannon fodder. It is a disaster for the targeted country. However, for the surrounding countries and the people on its continent, it’s like a carnival feast.”

The Undead Council will raise an Undead Cataclysm in every city of the target kingdom. They will nearly annihilate everyone in the target kingdom, transform them all into undead, and in the end, take away all the newly created undead cannon fodder, leaving none behind.”

So, when the Necromantic Fog dissipates, it means that there are no longer living people under its coverage, only masterless lands and wealth…

Therefore, when the Undead Council replenishes cannon fodder, there is no surrounding country that would send out strong men and armies to rescue.”

In the past, indeed, some human monarchs have contacted the surrounding countries for aid when the Undead Council destroyed a country. They wanted to launch an attack against these Legendary Undead and tried to stop the catastrophe.”

But the final result of this rescue was that the Necromantic Fog expanded, covering all the countries involved in the rescue. When the fog dissipated, those countries likewise perished and disappeared.”

After this tragedy, every human kingdom and duchy knew how to face the Centennial Destruction ceremony of the Undead Council.”

If selected, one could only silently endure, waiting for the onset of death or being reduced to undead, basically do not expect rescue, even praying to the deity is futile.”

If not selected, one would pray that the Undead Council has chosen the countries around them, then quietly wait.”

To save or not to save, it is an easy choice. If one participates in the rescue, they will face destruction. But by silently watching, they have the chance to participate in dividing the resources and accumulated wealth of a kingdom or several duchies.”

After all, those involved in the destruction ceremony within the Undead Council are all Legendary Level Liches and Undead, and some Soul Intent-level core members. They will take away the resources and treasures they can use.”

However, the leftovers picked by the Undead Council and the lands and resources they couldn’t take away, are enough to make the watching countries drool.”

…

“Your Majesty! I found that in the castle of this city, there is a well-preserved Teleportation Array that leads to Ezreal City. It can be used.”

“Um, then begin transferring the survivors of this city over!” Muria issued orders to the green dragon reporting to him, “Remember all the consumed Elemental Crystals, and after returning to Ezreal City, get reimbursements from Lude.”

“Understood!” The reporting green dragon accepted the command and proceeded to Ansel Castle with the other green dragons.”

Although there were only fifteen green dragons, making nearly ten thousand humans obedient was certainly enough. In fact, one dragon would be enough. In the face of a powerful existence, the weak could only bow and obey.”

“No one will come to rescue us…” Upon hearing the harsh reality described by Muria, a seemingly traumatized young girl named Orlina murmured to herself. But soon, she looked at Muria with hopeful eyes, “My lord, aren’t you here specifically to rescue us?”

“…” Remained silent for a moment, Muria then turned around and flew towards the castle in the center of the city, “It’s time to retreat. Also, I’m not a human.”

“You may not be a human, but you are here to save us!” Seeing Muria turning into a golden rainbow and flying away, the young girl Orlina shouted loudly.

“Saving you is just incidental.” Muria sighed quietly.

That night, in the Mage Tower of the Golden Dragon Sister Kaslana, the Ancient Gold Dragon Yarvis had learned from Golden Dragon Lude about the appearance of Bertlein, the rider of death. He immediately informed a group of ancient dragons and then asked the young giant dragons attending the banquet to notify their parents and elders who are above the level of ancient dragons.

They were to respond to the call of the Platinum Dragon God Bahamut and the three Dragon Kings to surround and kill Bertlein, the enemy of the Dragon Race.

That night, Muria was quite impressed. He was unsure whether it was due to the unity of the Metallic Dragon Clan or because the hatred Bertlein instigated was indeed great.

Within less than two hours, nearly twenty ancient dragons descended upon Bologna, including metallic dragons and gemstone dragons.

According to the introduction from the Golden Dragon Sister, half of these dragons had come at all costs from other subcontinents.

When these ancient dragons gathered together and found that the number of ancient dragons arrived was enough to handle the Legendary Undead and Lich sent by the Undead Council,
They immediately arrived at Ezreal City in Lude’s territory based on the coordinates given by Golden Dragon Lude.

As for the space blocked by the Undead Council, how could it stop nearly twenty ancient dragons from joining hands? It was directly broken.

With so many ancient dragons of legendary level going to the Bavaria Kingdom, those giant dragons who were originally cautious about the Legendary Undead and Lich suddenly gained courage.

The young giant dragons who attended the banquet all followed their ancient elders to Ezreal City.

As soon as they arrived, they saw the three soul-intent-level Liches from the Undead Council touring the city, collecting medium and high-level undead born from the Undead Cataclysm.

And then, there was no more. An ancient dragon took action, directly crushing the bodies of these three Liches, capturing their soul fires for interrogation, and probing which Legendary Undead and Liches of the Undead Council were in the Bavaria Kingdom.

The ancient dragons were interrogating the souls of the liches, while the young giant dragons who followed helped Golden Dragon Lude clean up the undead in the city and rescued his subjects.

Because the rescue took place earlier than in Cecil City, the survival rate of those residents was slightly higher.

By the time the million-population Ezreal City was rescued by the giant dragons, there were approximately one hundred thousand people still alive.

Afterwards, at the indication of the ancient dragons, all dragon beings at the Soul Intent level began to sweep the undead and hunt the liches left by the Undead Council to collect cannon fodder, starting from Ezreal City.

The ancient dragons hoped to attract those unpredictable Legendary Liches and Undead by the massive disappearance of Soul Intent Level Liches.

As for rescuing the cities of the human race, only some kind-hearted metallic dragons would take the trouble to save some as they passed by.
