Chapter 346: People in the Tomb

After Li Ang closed his eyes, he never opened them again.

But he could still walk like a normal person, and could even clearly sense where there were obstacles and gullies - he could even sense where the road was dry soil and mud.

The two women didn’t bring torches or anything like that—they were doing civil engineering work at the cemetery, and this kind of work couldn’t be seen in the open…

It was now the middle of the night. Although the moonlight was bright, the mud and puddles on the road were difficult to see. Bao Daisi and her female companion walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, but were surprised to find that Li Ang closed his eyes but was always able to accurately avoid the mud and water.

Although Li Ang's physical condition was not good at the moment, and many of his small wounds were whitened by the lake water, and he looked like he might collapse at any time, his strange behavior still made Bao Daisi feel deeply in awe - he was very much like some legendary great prophet who had "opened the third eye".

After walking for a short distance, Leon felt that the troops ahead were about to arrive, so Bao Daisi avoided the main road and helped Leon hide behind an abandoned low wall on the side of the road.

But the female warrior under Bao Daisi was unwilling to get too close to Leon - she probably disliked all men, just like many nobles disliked low-status criminals. She tried not to touch him if possible, and would want to wash the skin off her hands if she had to touch him.

After she fished Li Ang out of the lake, she even threw away her gloves...

So she hid alone behind another dilapidated thatched hut.

There has been a lot of war and chaos recently, and the houses on both sides of the road have basically been destroyed - most of the armies these days are no different from bandits.

When bandits robbed, they would occasionally leave some food for nearby farmers, but when an army passed by, they would most likely leave nothing.

This is also the reason why Leon and Bao Daisi wanted to avoid the army - when Leon went to Changhe Town with Sarah, he also quickly avoided it when he heard the sound of horse hooves.

Li Ang could sense that this was a troop of about 500 people, but it was very different from the team that went to the cemetery before. This troop seemed very strange to Li Ang - he always felt that this troop was not normal, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

After all, this kind of perception is not direct seeing, and many things still depend on eyes and ears.

It was not until the troops approached that Li Ang understood the reason for the abnormality.

The troops used no means of illumination—no lanterns or torches.

Moreover, apart from the sound of footsteps, this troop did not make any sound.

Not even the sound of breathing!

Le Ang could be sure that this troop was not living people - when they got closer, he could easily detect whether they were breathing or having a heartbeat.

However, judging from the appearance, this army is no different from ordinary people - these are not Fallen, they are Undead!

"Sir Leon, this army looks very strange... Are they planning to attack Balanli Town at night?"

Bao Daisi also whispered. After all, she had been a queen for more than ten years and was an experienced leader. Of course, she also felt that it was not right to march at night without lighting a fire. However, she did not think in the direction of non-humanity.

"Shh...they are not alive...don't talk..."

Li Ang raised his finger.

He didn't want to alert an army of undead at this time...

Although he now has a strong perception ability, his combat power is basically zero - 'Void' gave him a strong perception, but did not heal his injuries. Now he can't even walk fast, and if he is discovered, he will definitely not be able to escape.

Bao Daisy widened her eyes in horror and swallowed, but did not make a sound. She cooperated by slowly squatting down and retracting her head.

Of course, the queen now believes in Leon's judgment. After all, Leon has successfully predicted twice, and no matter what kind of troops it is, Bao Daisi does not want to provoke them.

Li Ang stopped watching and sat down behind the low wall to listen carefully.

But sometimes when people are unlucky, even drinking cold water can make their teeth ache. Leon and Bao Daisi were quiet, but the female warrior under Bao Daisi accidentally made a noise...

"Ul... King Ulric?! Oh my god..."

The woman screamed again and started running away quickly...

Bao Daisi was horrified and tried to stand up, but Leon covered her mouth.

Although Leon's hand was weak at this time, Bao Daisi calmed down after being covered. She pushed Leon's hand away, took a deep breath, then lay on the wall and looked over carefully.

Li Ang also made the same move...

Then, the scene before his eyes made Li Ang doubt his life.

The troop just happened to pass in front of them at this time. The female warrior ran along screaming and howling, which attracted a group of cavalry to chase her, but that was not the point.

The point is, in the center of that army, there was a particularly conspicuous guy riding a tall horse, wearing a crown helmet on his head and golden armor on his body...

That really is Ulrich!

The golden armor and the crown helmet were the burial objects that Leon personally arranged for Ulric. This was a common practice after the death of a king or a nobleman - to bury the deceased in his favorite armor!

In order to give the king a decent appearance during his death, an exquisite silk scarf was tied around his neck to cover the wound on his neck.

At this time, the scarf was still around his neck.

At this time, Ulrich's face was blue-gray - in order to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants, the corpse was injected with mercury and smeared with preservatives. After being buried for a long time, the skin would turn blue-gray.

Li Ang swallowed.

No wonder Ulrich's tomb is empty...

When the hell did this guy run out?

Ulrich himself certainly doesn't have this ability... Who is resurrecting from the dead?

"No! Ahhh... help... ah!"

In the distance, the screams of the female warrior suddenly stopped.

Bao Daisi, who was standing next to her, covered her mouth with her hands, tears silently streaming down her face.

It seems that she has a deep relationship with this female warrior - since he can accompany her, the queen who has lost her throne, to Pendor, he must be loyal to her and should be her lover.

This is the culture of Vicavia. Lovers or girlfriends have nothing to do with men. Men are just daily necessities that come with pillows and sheets.

However, even though she was in great pain, Bao Daisi still did not make any sound.

People who have been queens are indeed more rational.

Not until Leon was sure that the group of undead had gone far away did Bao Daisi come out from behind the low wall and run to the place where the female warrior fell.

The woman was already dead; her entire body had been cut in half, not even a complete corpse was left.

Bao Daisi held the corpse and wailed, her body covered with blood and filth.

…

early morning.

The shovel that was originally used to rob tombs came in handy again at this time.

But this time it’s not for tomb robbing.

A brand new grave mound appeared by the Sava River. On a wooden plaque, several symbols that Leon could not understand were burned by fire and then embedded horizontally on the grave.

This is the burial method of the Phocavians.

"Have you met Ulrich before?"

Leon stood at the grave and bowed, then asked Bao Daisi, whose eyes were swollen.

"Five years ago, we went to Sarleon City to meet Ulric... At that time, I was planning to implement reforms and was looking for allies everywhere, but he didn't help me at that time..."

Bao Daisi had stopped crying at this time, but her voice became unusually hoarse.

Li Ang lowered his head and sighed: "Ulrich is actually a pitiful man."

Bao Daisi turned around with a fierce look in her eyes: "He is my enemy now!"

"Bodaisi, that guy last night wasn't Ulrich himself... it was an evil soul that took over his body - Ulrich died in front of me, and I know where his soul is!"

Li Ang explained seriously.

"Has the body been possessed by an evil spirit?"

Bao Daisi was stunned for a moment, then stared at Li Ang: "Who is that evil spirit?"

"It should be the Three Prophets. If nothing unexpected happens, there is an evil spirit named Anna in Ulrich's body."

Only these three spirits have the ability to revive the dead.

Li Ang felt that Ulrich should be Anna - after Anna jumped off the Forbidden Demon Tower, her body and Ulrich's body were kept in the same morgue.

And Ulrich's tomb was empty.

In addition, Leon and Medea had said before that Anna was in Ulrich's tomb - Anna might have been rescued by Medea.

The Fallen who suddenly appeared in Cliff Bay when the battle was at its most intense should have been created by Media.

However, Mediah later met Aigram, lost her physical body and returned to the Gate of the Abyss - but in order to kill Aigram, Leon gave Mediah a glimmer of hope, which also gave her the opportunity to rescue the other two prophets.

It would have been difficult for Anna to get out of the tomb on her own, and Cersei was under strict supervision in the Sarleon Prison - the prison was near the tower of the Noble Court, within the magic-forbidden area, and Cersei would most likely not be able to escape on her own.

If Medea hadn't been given a chance, it wouldn't have been so easy for Anna and Circe to escape.

But now...

This was actually Leon's own fault, but the Lord never expected that he would be stuck in the void for a whole year...

"The Three Prophets... Are they the three witches in the legend who can make women forever young? I swear on my kingdom that I will kill them..."

Bao Daisi swore with gritted teeth.

Apparently, most of the noblewomen had indeed heard of the rumors about the Three Prophets.

"Look at Ulrich and you should be able to understand what the so-called eternal youth is all about..."

Li Ang glanced at Bao Daisi and said, "You don't have to go find them alone. They are also my enemies."

Bao Daisi looked at Leon, nodded, and bowed to Leon: "Duke Leon, I, Bao Daisi, ask for your help... I hope you can support me in arming a troop! Before killing the three prophets, I am willing to follow you and fight for you!"

This time, she did not call herself the queen, but presented herself as a warrior, asking for support from the lord in the way of a knight.

'Bodaisi has joined your team'.

"Let's go get two horses first... As long as we can get back to Changhe Town, everything can be solved."

Leon nodded. He was not afraid of the three prophets. In fact, he would not be afraid of any enemy now - since all the gods could no longer come to the earth, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Except for Kavala, Leon is now not inferior to anyone.

The Sarleon City was in a state of chaos now, with a large number of refugees or mobs pouring into the city. It seemed that some small nobles were trying to maintain order, but they were completely unable to restrain the mobs.

The rioters who entered Sarleon City were occupying the houses that originally belonged to the nobles, making a mess everywhere.

From time to time, you can see a lot of people fighting in groups, probably for territory or something.

Amy suddenly moved the capital, leaving behind an empty city. Both the armies of various countries and the mobs were probably caught off guard. If nothing unexpected happens, Sarleon City will soon become a battlefield.

So the two did not enter Sarleon City, but went straight to Yaragal.

Leon went to Yalagal and bought two horses.

Yaragal was the horse farm originally set up by Ulrich, but there are not many people here now. When Amy moved the capital a few days ago, she also moved the people of Yaragal away.

However, there were still some old people in the village who were unwilling to leave their homeland. They sold two old travel horses to Leon for five hundred dinars, which was five golden griffins.

This price seems very cheap under the current situation. The magic gold coins that Bao Daisi got from Leon still maintain their original value and can be used in Yaragal, which makes Leon very pleased.

——It seems that my disappearance for such a long time did not lead to a credit crisis in Pend Bank, and even the magic gold coins have become popular.

This could only be Amy's doing.

Li Ang also fully understood the current situation here.

Amy may really not be good at fighting, and the situation related to the war is very bad. Amy should have moved the capital long ago.

But those places in Sarleon that were not directly facing the war, although they were all depressed, did not experience inflation.

This shows that Amy has been successfully maintaining the economy in the rear. The national strength has only declined but has not completely collapsed.

At least, the eastern region and the Beibu Gulf are basically stable, and the population in the eastern region should have more than doubled - a large number of people fleeing the war went to the relatively peaceful east.

This made Leon feel a lot more at ease - he was not afraid of the war situation deteriorating, he was only worried about the economic collapse.

An unfavorable situation in battle can be quickly reversed through strategy and a few successful combat operations.

But if the overall economy collapses, it will really collapse, and it will be difficult to recover in a short period of time...

At present, the Kingdom of Sarleon has indeed been impoverished, but poverty is not terrible, as long as the economic order is maintained - it only took Leon one or two years to go from being penniless to becoming one of the richest men in Pendor.

Besides, Li Ang is no longer then. As long as Li Ang returns to the arena and shows his fame, many people will invest in him...

The two of them started heading towards Changhe Town without stopping.

…

Not long after they left, groups of troops appeared in the area.

There are ones from all countries.

General Agasson of the Bacchus Empire came from the north and joined General Cleon at the foot of Sarleon.

Caliph Tahir of the D'Shar Principality appeared in the south of Balanli with a number of D'Shar lords.

The Firdsvain army appeared west of Baranli, led by King Vidis himself.

In addition, another troop entered Luxin Lake...

Yes, they entered the lake, and they did so from the place where Leon was rescued.

The leader of this force appears to be King Ulric.

There were corpses all over the ground at his feet.
