Things about the female knight in black stockings

"Is such that."

Tia smiled and nodded:

"In addition to the gap in combat power and quantity, the undead controlled by the necromancer are also very afraid of beheading the necromancer himself... In fact, I have been targeted in the past few months. Fortunately, sister Frigia The legendary curse is powerful enough that those wild beast assassins can’t get close to me at all.”

"But not every necromancer can be recognized by the great witch like you. And how many undead can you control by yourself?"

Elsess shrugged and said seriously:

"So in the end, this plan will still choose uncontrolled undead as the main force...and these undead will hate all living beings, whether humans or wild beasts...How can you guarantee that these undead will not survive after destroying the wild beasts?" Will it become a stronger and more terrifying new natural disaster?”

Chapter 9 The Sword that Dominates the Undead

Necromancers can transform the dead into undead, and can also summon undead from the realm of the dead. However, necromancers are by no means the only source of undead. At best, they can be regarded as borrowers of the power of the undead.

Long before the necromancer appeared, there were undead monsters in the world.

Therefore, the undead can also be divided into two categories: those controlled by the necromancer and those not controlled.

The skeleton soldiers equipped with automatic rifles by Valencia are undead controlled by Tia and Suzuran's necromancy spells.

The advantage of this kind of undead is that it is absolutely unable to defy the will of the necromancer. Even most low-level undead have no self. They are completely puppets of the necromancer. The magic power used to maintain activities is also provided by the necromancer.Once the necromancer is killed, the undead will immediately stop moving.

The other type of undead is the undead that are not controlled by the necromancer. Creating or transforming them costs the necromancer less, and they are more powerful than the same type of undead that are controlled by the necromancer.

Although this kind of undead does not have clear self-awareness at a low level and relies entirely on instinct to act, it has the ability to independently absorb magic or devour the flesh and blood of living creatures to evolve. It is a bit like the zombies in Valencia's previous biochemical apocalyptic works. When evolving to a high level, not only the strength will be greatly enhanced, but also the intelligence will be no less than that of human beings.

Some of the beings with special physiques or talents, even if they were quite ordinary in life, will suddenly become very powerful after being transformed into undead... For example, the headless girl in Bodek Town who became the undead lord is particularly gifted with undeath. People, may even be a surprise to her transformers.

This kind of undead that is not controlled by the necromancer naturally does not need to consume the magic power of the necromancer.

To put it simply, as long as the necromancer has enough energy, he can act like a humanoid factory and continuously produce undead that can hunt independently, are powerful, and can evolve.

But this kind of undead also has a fatal flaw... that is, after it acquires itself through evolution, it will give birth to an ability called [Undead Will], which is completely immune to the control of the necromancer, and will even hate the necromancer who created it. .

This is what Elsess...or rather what the members of the French royal family in the past have been most worried about when facing similar tactical proposals.

Is the undead race strong?

Very strong.

Is it feasible to create a large number of undead to harass wild beasts in the Wild Ridge?

totally doable.

But... what if the undead in the Desolate Ridge not only succeeded in harassing the Desolate Beast, but also completely defeated the Desolate Beast and replaced it?

You must know that the undead are a race that thrives on fighting. There is no saying that they have just fought a big battle and their vitality has been seriously injured and they must recuperate... After defeating and transforming the entire Desolate Beast Tribe, they unified the Undead Tribe in the Desolate Spine Land. It will only become more powerful and become a more terrifying and irresistible natural disaster.

By that time, France will not be able to just fight a defensive war every autumn, but will probably face an endless all-out war.

This is the concern of the French royal family and the reason why similar tactical ideas have been rejected over the years.

"Of course I know what you said, but since I know it and still bring it up, it means that I have a way to solve this problem, right?"

Faced with the worries and doubts of Princess Elsess, Tia still looked quite confident and took out the second piece of information:

"Look at this... This is top-secret knowledge from the great witch. Currently, there should be no more than 10 people in the entire continent who know the relevant knowledge."

"Oh? Have you thought of a solution to this problem?"

Elseth's curiosity was completely aroused, and she quickly took Tia's second document, flipped through it, and couldn't help but be surprised after just a few glances:

"This is... information about the Ghost Tribe? How do you have this kind of information? The Ghost Tribe is one of the three disasters on the continent of Frenoia. It is the most troublesome enemy of the American Industrial Country... It is said that this race is related to the four The fog demons from the Island Alliance are just as mysterious."

"To today's human civilization, the Ghost Clan is indeed very mysterious. But to a great witch who has lived from the last era to the present, the Ghost Clan is not that mysterious."

Tia chuckled and said:

"Although Sister Frigia has not yet fully understood how the Ghost Tribe evolved into what it is today, she understands the original origin of the Ghost Tribe very well and also knows the nature of the powerful innate ability of the Ghost Tribe... ...Anyway, you should take a look at this information first.

In order to find research materials for Sister Frigia, I spent a lot of effort to get half of the corpse of the Hades from the Sage Tower. "

"...Okay, let me take a look first."

Elsess read the information carefully again.

Although Princess Yan's private life was quite absurd in the past and she had not practiced very well, she still completed the basic courses of some royal family members.

Although Elsess could only understand a little bit of the research materials Tia gave her, she could still fully understand the research conclusions.

"...The meaning of your research information is..."

It was precisely because she understood that Elsess took a deep breath and couldn't help but rub her left index finger gently near her temple to suppress her shock:

"The Ghost Tribe is not a high-level undead life form as we originally guessed. They are actually living normal life forms... Therefore, the methods we usually use to deal with the undead will not be so effective when fighting against the Ghost Tribe. use?"

"That's right." Tia smiled and nodded.

"And the ghost tribe's innate ability to control the undead and transform living creatures into undead is not because they are high-level undead themselves, but because of a special substance in their spinal cord?" Elsess asked again. road.

"That's right." Tia still smiled and nodded.

"You and Valencia want to go to America to hunt a group of ghosts' spinal cords, just like you use monster materials to make equipment, and extract that special substance from them to create a special weapon...one that can control the undead. Weapon?" Elsess bit her lip tightly, her voice trembling.

"Is such that."

Tia is still smiling, but this time there is more smile and helplessness:

"That idiot Valencia has even designed the shape and name of the weapon... It is a very handsome sword, and its name is [Frostmourne]...

That idiot was quite excited when he was designing these things, and he kept muttering something that I couldn't understand... Elseth and Alsace have similar names, and both have blond hair, so they have a lot of [ Frostmourne] Is that normal? "

"Sword... Frostmourne... Hey, wait!"

Elsess murmured a few words, and suddenly her eyes widened:

"What did you just say? You and Valencia wanted me to hold that sword?"

Chapter 10 The most suitable candidate

The reason for choosing Princess Elsess as the controller of the undead army is certainly not just because the pronunciation of her name is similar to that of a certain filial son.

First of all, if the tactics written in Valencia and Tia's papers can be successful, then there will definitely be a powerful undead army in the wilderness land in the future, at least not weaker than the current wild beasts.

This is undoubtedly a very powerful force, and in order to reassure the French royal family, Valencia and Tia cannot control this force.

The engagement of the two of them already had a strong alliance effect, which the royal family had to pay attention to.

For the stability of the Kingdom of France, a situation where the royal family and the great nobles are one super and many powerful is the best situation. The situation where the two super powers are competing is something that most people are not willing to see.

Uneasy, confused, please stop getting stronger.

This mood may be how the royal family feels right now.

That is to say, the Church of the Sun has a clear policy never to interfere in the internal affairs of any country. In addition, the Britannia family has been loyal throughout the generations, so the royal family has no other ideas.

What if this were Valencia's previous life, a marriage between a military family that controlled 70% of the country's military and a religious marriage believed by all the people?As long as the emperor is not too stupid and incompetent, I am afraid that he will not sleep well at night, for fear that the country will not be his when he wakes up the next day.

All in all, due to various reasons, although the internal politics of humans in this world are much more harmonious than Valencia's previous life, there are limits.

Tia is the heir to the Brittania family. She studied under the top ten sages in the Sage Tower, and is engaged to the Knight of the Inner Temple of the Church of the Sun.

If she is allowed to control an undead army that is not weaker than wild beasts... Even if the French royal family trusts the Breton family again, it will have to suppress and weaken the vassal.

Therefore, it is better to give control of the Undead Army to others from the beginning. It is better to be someone who can reassure the royal family and make the royal family feel that the Undead Army is in their own hands.

Based on this alone, no one is more suitable than Princess Elsess.

Even if Elsess continues to be wild and dissatisfied with her father and brother who always force her to marry, she is still a member of the royal family, and she also understands that she is a member of the royal family and will not betray the royal family... because all her glory and treatment come from being a royal princess. Identity, not the name Elsess.

At the same time, Elsess, Valencia, and Tia are still good personal friends, and they have no ambitions other than being flirtatious... Everyone will be satisfied if the army of the undead is handed over to her.

In addition to the absolute suitability in terms of identity, there is another important reason why Valencia and Tia will choose Elseth as the future controller of the undead army... Elsess herself is very weak.

As a member of the royal family, Elsese's cultivation talent is actually not low. Coupled with the resources of the royal family, she can break through to the lighthouse at around the age of 20 as long as she works hard.

It's a pity that Elseth was too uneducated and bohemian before. During the best and most youthful years of her life, she was either partying with beautiful girls every day, or preparing for parties with beautiful girls, which was completely wasted. .

As a result, Elseth's training path was completely abandoned, and even the basics of swordsmanship that she had practiced for a period of time as a child were returned to the teacher.

Even if Elsess starts to catch up from now on and spends all her resources on herself, she will never be able to advance to the Brilliant Level in this life.

In other words, even if Elsess does have a problem like that filial son in the future and wants to use the undead army in her hands to cause trouble, her own lack of strength will make this problem an easy one to solve. .

All in all, letting Elsess control the undead army is the most ideal situation.

The royal family will not be suspicious.

Elsess no longer has to worry about being forced into marriage by her father and brother. (No king with a normal IQ would want to marry a princess who holds an army of the undead to someone else)

Some little secrets that Valensa and Tia don't want the royal family to know can also be concealed by Elsess...even many things can be done directly in the name of the royal family, just like Valensa often shirks the blame now The Sun Goddess, like Frigia, the princess who will control the undead army in the future, should not care about her inexplicable achievements.

This is a plan that satisfies everyone.

Under Tia's patient explanation, Elsess quickly understood this, and her expression and voice couldn't help but be a little excited.

She has been the useless princess of Huangyin for too long. Now that she has the opportunity to completely change this bad impression in the eyes of everyone, Elsess simply cannot refuse.

After drinking several glasses of water, Elsess managed to regain her composure from her feverish brain and pounding heart, and carefully considered the possibility of this matter.

There doesn't seem to be any problem with the logic, the only thing that makes people a little worried is...

"How sure are you?"

Elsess clenched her fist tightly:

"I believe that the great witch you released from the underground ruins is very capable, but didn't you just say that? Although the great witch knows the origin of the underworld, she has no idea why the underworld became what it is today. There are a lot of doubts about this, right?

In this case, are you sure that the sword made with the special substance in the spinal cord of the ghost tribe can definitely control the undead?What if the controlled undead lose control?What if that sword has a bad effect on the user? "

"Well, your worries are reasonable. We have also considered these issues, but..."

Tia smiled and shook her finger with a confident expression:

"Using key materials from monsters to create special weapons with monster abilities. This technology has been developed by humans for thousands of years, and has been continuously improved. It can now be said to be very complete and mature, and the probability of errors can be ignored. Excluding.

Sister Frigia is indeed quite doubtful that the Hell ghost tribe will become what it is today, but based on her research on the corpses of the Hell ghost tribe, she can confirm that the essence of this race has not changed... the kind that can naturally control the undead. Ability, very stable.

I can't guarantee that something will be 100% successful... and no one in this world can guarantee that something will be 100% successful.

I can only say that based on the existing data and theories, the success rate of this matter is very high... Many of our preparations can even be completed at any time. The only thing that is most lacking at the moment is the use of a large number of ghost spines as materials. "

"……I understand."

Elsess was silent for a while and then said:

"So you are going to America next?"

"Do not."

Tia chuckled and shook her head:

"Your Royal Highness, you should send America as envoy."

Chapter 11 Make puffs for the big witch sister

After some ideological struggle, Elsess finally agreed to Tia's proposal.

She will find a way to persuade the king and crown prince to agree to her mission to America, providing cover for Valencia and Tia's actions in America in the name of diplomacy.

As a reward, Elsess will receive the sword made from the special substance in the spinal cord of the Hades, and form an army of the undead, which will greatly enhance her own importance to the royal family and make it easier to get married. Don't bother her... you can continue to post to whoever you want from now on and have fun.

Valencia and Tia can get a reliable ally in the royal family. They no longer have to worry about the royal family being jealous of them, and it is easier to hide some little secrets.

...if all goes well with the plan.

. . . . .

After being brutally beaten 26 to 1 by Cerante, Valencia could be said to have been completely aroused to be competitive. In the past two days, she has been trying various playing styles suitable for her in the duel competition.

The rules of the game weakened and restricted Valencia too much. In the past two days, not only Selante, but also other duelists signed by Yahiro and even Qianyecao could easily defeat her under the restrictions of the rules of the game. Valencia.

This made Qianyecao very happy, and even wanted to take the opportunity to play a punishment game on Valencia. However, Valencia, who was so angry, turned the game into a real battle on the spot, and in turn severely punished Qianyecao, leaving Qianyecao with a slap in the face. Ye Cao lay with her tongue out and a dazed expression for most of the day before she could continue to participate in the duel training.

Although Valencia lost almost hundreds of games in the past two days, she still found some sense of playing the game.

There is still no problem with her idea... focus on defense with magic, use various special equipment and skills to counterattack, and focus on the first sight kill.

In fact, the effect of her tactics is quite good. Whether it is the other duelists signed by Yahiro or Celant as the coach, they will most likely lose when faced with the tricks that Valencia has never used.

However, the skills and equipment used to kill someone for the first time often mean that they are easily targeted... That's why Valencia lost more than she won during these two days of training.
