king of the castle

Chapter 44 Undercurrent

In a small town only two days away from Roger and the others, a man wrapped in a black cloak was standing in front of the church built for the Supreme God in the center of the town. 【】The faint sacred smell emanating from the church disgusted him very much, and he couldn't help frowning at the three-story building with pointed towers in front of him.

"It's really disgusting..." Muttering how he felt at this time, the man just waved his hand lightly, and the church standing in front of him immediately collapsed silently, and soon turned into a pile of rubble rubble.

"This is much better." The man clapped his hands in satisfaction, his body was calm without any fluctuations, as if to him, it was just a normal thing to show that destroying a building.

At this moment, a bright magic light lit up behind the man, and a space door appeared in the center of the magic light.A guy who was burned out of human shape rolled out of the door and fell directly at the feet of the man in black.

"Isn't this Blair?" The man in black touched the guy who had been burnt out of shape at his feet, and said in a soft tone: "It seems that you have failed my promise, and you didn't bring back the person I want?"

"Boss...boss, it's not my fault!" Although Blair was seriously injured, he still struggled to defend himself: "That man has soldiers who have the same fighting will as the undead army, and they look exactly the same. All of them are elite, very difficult to deal with! And...and he also mastered the terrible fire magic, easily burned all my subordinates..."

"The will to fight is not inferior to the soldiers of the undead army? Sure enough, it is interesting." The man in black smiled at Blair: "You are not all useful, but you can also bring back some useful news."

"Please give me one more chance. When I recover from my injuries, I will definitely bring that person back for you!" Hearing that the leader's words seemed to give him a break, Blair hurriedly expressed his loyalty loudly: "This I will never come back to see you until I achieve my goal!"

"Hehe...it's really touching to have such a loyal subordinate like you!" Although the man in black was chuckling, there was no hint of joy in his laughter: "You should know how I deal with losers, Blair!"

"Don't... please let me go, no!" Blair uttered a final scream, and the man in black just stepped on his head lightly, turning his head into a ball of meat.

"An elite soldier with a firm will to fight, who looks exactly the same." The man in black repeated Blair's words softly. After a moment of silence, he muttered to himself: "Could it really be that thing that appeared again? Come on, I want to go by myself." Just one trip..."

At this moment, a creature with a body only the size of a newborn baby suddenly appeared behind the man in black.It has red skin all over its body, a pair of small black bat wings fluttering behind its back, and a finger-sized horn on its forehead.

This creature seemed to be very dissatisfied with the man in black. As soon as it appeared, it opened its mouth full of fangs and complained: "Joseph, why don't you stay in your own castle and enjoy the happiness, which caused me to travel so much!"

"Rul, as the master's herald, you should have the awareness to run away." Joseph turned to the little devil floating in front of him and said, "What orders does the master have?"

"It's not that those devil bastards are making trouble again!" Although Ruhr is a devil himself, he doesn't have the slightest affection for other devils. He danced and shouted to Joseph: "The master wants you to take your brainless subordinates immediately!" Hurry back and kill those devil bastards!"

"Leaving immediately?" Joseph seemed a little hesitant when thinking of the secrets that human beings might have.

"Now, immediately, immediately!" The little devil flew back and forth around Joseph, grinning loudly, "Master is really angry this time, do you understand?"

Ruhr's words made Joseph understand that this matter could not be delayed any longer. He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back immediately after I've made arrangements here. You should go back and report to the master first!"

"Don't delay, the master is in a bad mood recently!" The little devil reminded Joseph for the last time, and the bright red figure gradually disappeared into the sky.

Joseph thought for a while, then stretched out his hand to wipe lightly in front of his face, and a haggard old face gradually appeared in the air.

"Ningia, see the leader." The old face nodded slightly to Joseph in the void.

"I'm going to leave for a while, and you are in charge of all the affairs of the Lund Peninsula." Joseph said in a voice without any emotion: "I will take away part of the undead army, and you command the remaining army to completely control the entire Lund Peninsula. understand?"

Air's old face lowered his head again and said, "Ningia will definitely live up to your trust, sir."

Joseph didn't say much, and stretched out his hand to wipe the air lightly again.A death lord wearing black plate armor gradually appeared, replacing Neia's old face.The Lord of the Undead knelt down on one knee without saying a word, and saluted Joseph.

"Heyfield, I will allocate a team of soldiers. You go and hunt down a group of humans, and bring back their leaders no matter whether they live or die." Joseph said to the death lord unhurriedly: "They have my blood on them." The magic markers will be blocked outside the Linton pass, you can find them as long as you go there."

The death lord nodded, and disappeared into the void after saluting Joseph again.

After instructing his subordinates what to do, Joseph waved his hand lightly, and the two bone crows jumped into the air at the same time, flying towards the hinterland of the human kingdom in the east.These two bone crows will convey Joseph's order to the human traitors, ensuring that Roger and others cannot enter the Linton pass, and can only face the pursuit of the death lord Highfield.

After finishing all this, Joseph softly chanted an obscure and lengthy incantation. After completing the last syllable of the incantation, his figure disappeared into the night sky instantly, and at the same time, more than half of the undead creatures that were raging on the Lund Peninsula also disappeared.

However, when Joseph mentioned Roger to his subordinates, out of selfishness, he did not explain his situation clearly to the Death Lord.It was precisely because of Joseph's selfishness that Roger was lucky enough to escape again one day in the future.

Of course, Roger himself would not know that he had become the person most interested in the mastermind behind the undead disaster.But if Roger really knew about it, he would be restless and frightened all day long.From this point of view, the old adage that "the one who knows is the happiest" circulated on the continent of Eum is quite reasonable.

Without knowing it at all, Roger led everyone to continue to Linton Pass.After a few days of trekking, everyone is not far from Davao City, the largest city on the Lund Peninsula.

At the same time, the militia barracks were successfully upgraded to the primary barracks, and Roger could finally train the new melee arms, short sword fighters.
