The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Half an hour later, the Mystic Eye descended with the animal, and Ron opened his eyes to look at his painting, immediately feeling the same horror as the onlookers around him.

He drew lines from the flowing magic of the earth, and these lines clearly formed a circle that enveloped the Doria region, with a magic circle containing a large number of spells inside.

Especially the central image, the huge skull, has no real function in this magic circle; it seems more like the perpetrator's perverse sense of humor.

Fortunately for everyone, the magic circle had already been activated, as could be seen from the flow of magic power.

A lich? Or some other monster?

Everyone sensed that this was not something they could handle; it had absorbed the life force of the entire Doria, and they had no idea what it wanted to do.

As for whether there are any living people, there might still be some in the royal city. After all, large-scale magic arrays have their limits. As long as the professional's physique is slightly better, the caster can easily resist this magic array by casting a self-defense barrier.

“Miss Shadow Raven, please summon the gaze of the Goddess of Death.”

Ron decisively turned back for help, and a girl in a black and red robe emerged from the shadows. She nodded to the group and went into a secluded room to kneel and pray.

A powerful aura suddenly emanated from the room. The girl pushed open the door, and her disdainful gaze made everyone realize that the core had been changed. The church members lowered their heads with envy, wishing their own god could descend so frequently.

Maginus peered into the distance through the priest's body. A powerful negative energy enveloped Doria, leaving few survivors inside; some were struggling to stay afloat.

As for the powerful enemy, she has also discovered that he does not seem to have fully recovered his legendary strength. He gathered so much life force in just a moment, but it will take time and means to transform it into his own power.

Maginus immediately made a decision, raising his hand to command: "No rest, head to the royal city immediately and clear out the undead creatures within. I will summon Neko, Yue Liang, and Yue Qian to deal with the monsters you cannot handle."

All three high-ranking members of Nesser were summoned!

Everyone's pupils dilated in shock. A church member raised his hand: "Your Majesty, Goddess, shall we invite the bishop to help?"

"Be quick. If there's enough time, you can handle the source of the crisis without me having to do it myself."

Maginus does not intend to resolve this crisis on her own. The Nesserian army will face many dangers in the future. Death can be frightening, but it can also make people stronger.

The civilians need them to protect them; they must stand strong.

Chapter 645 Only the Fragile Walking Dead

Upon receiving the order, the army, without even a moment's rest, immediately departed from the countryside and headed straight for Doria. They had undoubtedly attracted the attention of the mastermind behind it all. The fire sprite Manda flew out of Ron's arms, pointing a warning finger to the sky:

"This is bad! A large amount of magical energy is sweeping across the sky, seemingly trying to gather all the undead creatures in the surrounding area. Can the army stop it?"

"We must stop them even if we can't. They're just some newly born, weak undead creatures. Notify the entire army to be on high alert and do everything we can to break through the city gates and enter the city walls."

Ron knew very well that fighting the undead on the Great Plains was a irrational act. His first priority was to enter the royal city, close the gates, deal with most of the zombies inside, and then attack the undead with his back against the city walls.

He is currently leading his strongest squad away from the main force and is rapidly approaching the capital of Doria. The sky is gradually darkening, and the stars are being obscured by dark clouds.

Upon arriving at the foot of the royal city, he found that the city gate was not closed at all, saving him the trouble of risking entering the city to open the gate. He raised his hand and released a green flare to inform everyone that the gate was open.

"It's terrible, Lord Phil! Undead creatures are controlling the city gates to rise!"

The soldier caught a glimpse of something amiss out of the corner of his eye, and Ron's gaze instantly hardened. Staring at the slowly closing door, he raised his hand and cast a barrier spell from a distance.

A large amount of wood appeared near the city gate. The logs piled up inside the gate, directly blocking its closing action. The logs were stuck and could not be closed tightly. In fact, due to the compression, the undead creatures could not push the logs at all.

His movements attracted the attention of the undead, a sense of dread rising within them. The mastermind was observing him and his squad through the eyes of these zombies and skeletons—very strong, extremely strong. Ron almost wanted to turn and run.

Suppressing his fear, he watched the approaching weak monsters cast a spell, pressing one hand against his eyes and slowly lowering it, pouring in immense magical power. When he opened his eyes again, a holy light emanated from them, carrying the power of thunder as it shone upon the zombies and skeletons!

Justice is furious!

A quick scan revealed that all zombies and skeletons below a certain level of strength were instantly reduced to ashes, unable to withstand Ron's gaze.

Because the mastermind behind the scenes stripped them of all their life force and soul, these resurrected zombies and skeletons were far too weak. Their bodies simply didn't have the extra strength to bear the negative energy and magic power; in short, they were born with a deficiency.

This was good news. Ron realized that he hadn't been attacked by the mastermind, which was consistent with what Her Majesty the Queen said. At least until now, the mastermind hadn't completely returned to normal.

A vast army raised dust in the distance. The first to arrive were naturally the cavalry, who wielded long spears or swords with abandon. The weak and mindless zombies were easy targets, and the knights experienced the exhilarating feeling of mowing the grass for the first time.

All the zombies surrounding the city gate died, but unfortunately the cavalry couldn't get into the city. Watching the logs being slowly snapped by the gate, there wasn't much they could do. They could only take out the large bow from their backs, aim at the city gate, and keep shooting arrows soaked in holy water to kill the zombies pushing the logs, making the gate close more slowly.

Before the gates closed, the army finally caught up. Ron, who had originally wanted to summon some more wood, put down his wand and directed everyone to enter the city. The soldiers rushed forward in an organized manner, with each squad maintaining a certain distance from the others to prevent any spells from falling.

Some zombies carrying bows and arrows on the city wall tried to stop them. Some of them were so weak that they couldn't even draw their bows or lift their swords. They could only fall from the air and try to knock down the Nesser Swiss soldiers as they built the ladders. It was quite funny.

Using invisibility and stealth to conceal his body and presence, the skilled and daring Ron led his elite squad to the city wall, found a tiny opening to see inside, and used a portal to transfer everyone inside.

"Let's go to the palace."

He was about to take a risk, and the elite squad was tense and afraid. Some of them muttered "Her Majesty the Queen" and "Goddess of the Dead" as they cautiously followed behind him.

Within the palace shrouded in black mist, even stronger undead creatures have taken over the area, while only a few living people remain in the heavily sealed royal treasury.

"Your Highness, please have some food."

"Thank you, sir, but I have no appetite."

The neatly dressed platinum-blonde girl paced anxiously back and forth, refusing the black bread made by the female mage using food-creating magic.

She is Princess Doria, and the six guards, four mages, and twelve servants in the treasury were all people she summoned when she sensed something was wrong.

The cause of the disaster was similar to Ron's guess: torrential rain and earthquakes caused a garden in the noble district to collapse completely, revealing an exquisite tomb inside. The magical fluctuations emanating from it confirmed that it was the burial place of a powerful mage.

Her father, disregarding his brother's objections, immediately sent numerous adventurers and armies into the area in an attempt to find a way to prolong her life.

But before a solution could be found, something terrifying was awakened. The town was shrouded in black mist and cut off from the outside world. Anyone who tried to leave would immediately lose their life. Even mages couldn't get out, and the surrounding space was completely sealed off.

Evil negative energy overflowed from the cave, and various churches immediately sent wave after wave of people, but to no avail. The next morning, a strong magical fluctuation plunged the entire city into death.

The surviving princess of Doria possessed keen senses. Sensing that death was approaching, she gathered the necessary personnel and brought them to the treasury, which was filled with defensive magic. After realizing that they could not leave, they secretly entered the treasury within two hours, and no one has discovered them yet.

Nearly ten days have passed, and thanks to the presence of the sorcerers, they are doing quite well. They can solve all their problems with magic. The sorcerers are inherently solitary individuals, and they can patiently stay in the treasure vault by studying magic.

The attendants and guards were all handpicked by Princess Doria, and they wouldn't have any dangerous ideas for at least six months.

Instead, she became anxious. Once inside the treasure vault, she was unsure if anyone would come to her rescue, and she would occasionally use the magic eye she had set up before entering the vault to observe the outside world.

A black mist shrouded the entire palace. In the past ten days or so, she had seen many things, from the initial sadness to the current indifference.

When the strange magical fluctuations occurred, the vault's own defensive spells activated, resisting the impact of the magic, and everyone inside the vault was safe and sound.

Outside, mages and other professionals with strong vitality survived. Her brother and father originally wanted to rebuild the defense network in the palace, but the disaster was not over yet, and an even more terrifying wave suddenly arrived.

Most of the assembled people had died, and they had no choice but to leave the increasingly dangerous palace, failing to notice the treasure vault that could be guaranteed safe for a certain period of time.

As for why the princess didn't explain it to them, the reasons are complicated. The king and her brothers and sisters were more like enemies. Because she disguised herself so well and had no aggression, she became her father's most beloved daughter on the surface.

But she was certain that if she were in danger, she would be the first one pushed out to take the hit.

Chapter 646 A Simple First Phase of Battle

Will anyone come to rescue me? Will I die here?

The princess grew anxious as she pondered the situation. Once again, she used the hidden magic eye she had set up to observe the corridor. Her pupils suddenly contracted, and she summoned a sorcerer to check on her.

"Sir Cameron! Aren't there far fewer walkers? And they're all heading in the same direction!"

The crowd immediately gathered around, and indeed, just as the princess had said, the zombies were leaving. If they listened carefully, they could hear other sounds coming from afar.

Someone has arrived. Is it reinforcements from elsewhere, or the king and his entourage who left earlier?

Hope rose in everyone's hearts, but just then, a violent explosion suddenly occurred next to the Demon Eye, completely destroying the fragile magical structure and causing the current scene to disappear.

"Damn it, open another one."

The anxious refugees tried to open another magic eye, but they couldn't. The magic outside seemed to be causing a problem with the spell, preventing it from connecting to the magic eye.

But since an explosion has occurred, it means that things have taken a turn for the better. Someone must have come in. Princess Doria believed that if it was adventurers or reinforcements entering the palace, they would definitely search for any possible treasure vaults after the surrounding area was safe.

She would be able to leave then. The only thing to worry about was the rescuers' personalities and allegiances. The princess picked up a mirror and looked at her beautiful face, having already decided to sacrifice everything to survive.

Time passed slowly, and no more sounds came from outside. Everyone became anxious, but the princess became the one who comforted them, bringing them confidence and stability as their leader.

Just when they thought the rescuers would take some time to arrive at the vault, the magic covering the vault door was suddenly dispelled, and before they could react, a violent explosion destroyed the door.

The handsome Ronfield stepped into the treasury through the mist, a smile spreading across his face as he saw the survivors. He met the gaze of the somewhat dazed Princess Doria's eyes and stepped forward to bow.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are a princess of the Doria royal family. I am Ronfil, a nobleman of the Nesserian, sent by the Queen to provide assistance."

So tall and handsome.

Princess Doria looked at Ron's face and blushed instantly, almost to the point of having hearts in her eyes. Fortunately, she was in a crisis at the moment and quickly recovered and returned the greeting to Ron.

"We've arrived at the palace. This doesn't seem to be the main site of the disaster; we haven't seen any cemeteries."

"Based on the flow of magic, it should be over there, so why did we come here first?"

Rewind time. Manda peeked out from Ron's pocket. The stealth team had successfully passed through the horde of zombies and entered the palace. Ron lowered his voice and said:

"If you scout ahead and the surrounding area turns into a dead zone, then the royal palace is the most likely place to find survivors. After all, a king would never want to be in danger and would be surrounded by guards."

Ron was wrong this time. He didn't expect that the palace would be targeted a second time, and that the king would abandon the palace, which was originally intended to be a stronghold.

Entering the main hall through the main gate, the roaming monsters were still weak. The mastermind behind them didn't even seem to have any intention of strengthening them. Ron was relieved. Even if they were exposed later, they would have enough means to deal with the weak zombies in the palace.

"The invisibility time is about to end, sir. Should we start fighting now or what?"

A warrior asked, and Ron, looking at the many undead creatures around him, beckoned everyone to go up to the second floor. He gently pushed open the window as quietly as possible. Below the window was a large garden, the plants of which had long since withered, making it appear very empty.

Lesser Illusionary Sound Spell.

Three shadows appeared in the garden, and at the same time, a sound rang out, immediately attracting the attention of all the undead creatures, who rushed toward the direction of the shadows and the sound.

The zombies in the palace had all been drawn there, taking over the entire garden. Ron immediately called out to his fire sprite: "Manda!"

The fairy girl flew out of her pocket and spun around the fairy sorcerer Ronfield. The intense energy instantly enveloped the two of them, forcing back the people around them.

Super Spell Enhancement, Super Spell Power, Super Spell Double Cast, Super Spell Amplification

A surge of flames!

At this moment, they were almost of one mind. Ron used two super magic techniques, and the fairy sorcerer used two as well, infusing the effects of the techniques into the spells Ron cast.

Two fireballs appeared in his left and right hands, which he threw into the garden one after the other. The explosions unleashed flames that annihilated the zombies located in the center of the spell.

That wasn't all. The flames spread outwards from the point of impact, rolling out like waves. Two spells, one after another, covered the left and right halves of the garden respectively. The five waves of fire destroyed all the zombies.

As Ron extinguished his flames, his invisibility was dispelled by his attack, and his life force drew the remaining walkers, who were originally heading towards the garden, back towards him.

"Clear out the remaining zombies. The explosion should have been heard by other hiding people. Let's look around and see if anyone is hiding."

The few remaining undead creatures posed no threat, and there were indeed no powerful undead creatures in the palace. After quickly checking the palace, the group finally arrived at the door of the Doria royal treasury and examined the door in front of them.

"Hmph, sir, what do you think? Should we..."

"Let's go in, there might be someone there."

Okay, Ron was very interested in what was inside. It was a king's or a lord's treasury, so there should be some good magical items or something. He could have it first.

After spending nearly an hour confirming the spells and trigger chains of the vault door, Ron cast a dispelling spell, followed by a shattering sonic wave that completely broke open the door.

Ron was pleasantly surprised to see a figure inside; there really were living people hiding there. He pinpointed the most important person: the beautiful girl in the luxurious white dress was clearly a princess of the Doria royal family.

He immediately stepped forward, displaying gentlemanly manners while using gestures and tone of voice to seduce the princess's emotions.

Her voice trembled with genuine tears. Faced with Ron, her savior, Princess Doria's fear and terror surged, and she reached out to grasp the young man's hands, abandoning all decorum:

"Thank you for your rescue, Mr. Ron. I am... I am..."

Raising an eyebrow, Ron grasped the princess's hand in return and comforted her, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the Netheril army will protect you. Before that, we hope you can tell us what exactly happened in Doria."

Chapter 647 Feelings can be cultivated, but only after an exchange of benefits.

"A lich..."

Besides the princess of Doria, the remaining spellcasters and soldiers also provided information that everything dug out of the tomb after it was exposed was tainted with extremely strong negative energy, unlike anything the tomb itself could accumulate.

What lies inside is definitely not an ordinary corpse, nor a sleeping living thing; it is undoubtedly an undead creature.

Liches and vampires are basically the two options. They are relatively common and well-known intelligent undead creatures, and they are both very powerful in casting spells.

When he guessed that there might be a lich inside, King Doria, who was controlled by greed, did not want to give up the chance to prolong his life and let his warriors continue to explore deeper, which resulted in disaster.

"You...you mean all of us in Doria are dead?"

Upon learning from Ron that the farmers on the distant border had been completely killed, Princess Doria turned pale. "Can a country without its own people be called a country?"

The death of all its citizens essentially meant the complete annihilation of Doria, regardless of whether her father and brother were alive or not.

Becoming a commoner wouldn't be a problem; after paying the price for the support from Nesery, the royal family could become wealthy merchants or minor nobles based on their accumulated wealth over the years.

The princess thought for a moment and realized that she could no longer command the spellcasters and guards behind her when she saw their flickering eyes. She turned her gaze to Ron beside her, clenched her fists, and tried to grasp at this straw.

At this moment, Ron was not paying attention to the princess. The army had already entered the town, and the zombies were very weak. The troops easily entered the palace and cleared out a safe haven.

Once the army was stationed in the palace, his men reported some mixed news: the commotion they had caused had affected the entire city, and no one had come out to ask for their help.
