Chapter 622: The Direction of the Death Desert
In the depths of the Nahrin Desert, 200 kilometers north of the Drondheim large fortress, the Jackalans from the Kingdom of Grey Mane and the Lizardmen from the Kingdom of Lizardmen were used as coolies to dig the sand.
Only a few thousand death knights were patrolling around them. It was unknown why the millions of Jackalans and Lizardmen would allow these thousands of death knights to do whatever they wanted.
However, every time the death knights patrolled a place, the Jackalans and Lizardmen would look at the death knights with fear and humility in their eyes.
The Kingdom of Grey Mane and the Kingdom of Lizardmen were sworn enemies. The two kingdoms had been fighting for thousands of years on the land of the Mannheim Coast. The relations.h.i.+p between the two kingdoms was very bad. In both kingdoms, there was a tradition of exchanging the heads of the people of the other kingdom for merits.
However, in the depths of the Nahrin Desert, there was not much friction between the Jackalans and the Lizardmen who were digging the sand next to each other. Their eyes were filled with numbness, and there was not a hint of hope.
At this moment, even the Kingdom of Grey Mane and the Kingdom of Lizardmen were gone. They had turned into a huge and terrifying Sky Veil of Death. All the Jackalans and Lizardmen who did not express their submission to the death knights immediately died. The reason why these Jackalans and Lizardmen were still alive was that they had chosen to become the slaves of the death knights.
They were not ordinary slaves, but slaves who were directly controlled by the death knights. Every death knight who patrolled here had contracted hundreds to thousands of Jackalans and Lizardman slaves. Once a death knight was killed, the Jackalan and Lizardmen slaves that he had contracted would also die instantly.
Therefore, just thousands of death knights had full control over these millions of Jackalans and Lizardmen slaves. None of them dared to resist any death knight.
Millions of Jackalan and Lizardmen dug the sand together. They worked very quickly, and soon, an ancient city was unearthed. However, only a corner of this ancient city was dugout. Although there were millions of people, it was nothing compared to the size of a city.
Several death knights gathered together. When they saw a corner of the city that was dug out, they were very excited.
“The Lost City reappeared in the world. This is the most dazzling city in the entire continent tens of thousands of years ago, a city created by Father G.o.d! The legends in the clan were right! The Lost City truly exists and it’s right here! It’s exactly the same!”
“Yes, yes! This is great! According to the legends in the clan, the Lost City had many amazing hidden treasures. Among them, some treasures can allow us to recover from the undead and become normal living beings with flesh and blood.”
“That’s right. However, to open the Lost City, we need to use the complete sun disc as the key!”
Several death knights looked towards the south together. In the distant south, they could vaguely see a huge fortress city standing in the desert.
In the sky above the fortress city, a huge golden disc was like a small sun, constantly absorbing a huge amount of sunlight, blocking out the scorching and violent sunlight. At the same time, it released a gentle golden radiance and illuminated the entire fortress and the territories around it. Even in the terrifying depths of the Nahrin Desert, it would not be too exposed to the sun. The constant temperature would not exceed 25 degrees, which was extremely suitable for human survival.
“The sun disc!” Several death knights looked at the golden disc, their voices filled with endless joy.
“When the main force of our clan arrives, we will bring the current sun disc and fuse it with the sun disc in that city. At that time, we will be able to recover the complete sun disk!” a death knight said excitedly.
He didn’t care about that city at all. Because to obtain the sun disc of that city, they had to occupy that city first.
To the death knights, a small city was nothing. After all, they had already destroyed two kingdoms. The Kingdom of Grey Mane and the Kingdom of Lizardmen were considered powerful. Ordinary Jackalans and Lizardmen had strong bodies. The physical attributes of ordinary Jackalan and Lizardmen could be compared to an official 2-level troop cla.s.s. With a little training, they could be compared to an official 3-level troop cla.s.s.
However, the powerful Kingdom of Grey Mane and the Kingdom of Lizardmen were easily destroyed by the terrifying Sky Veil of Death. As soon as the Sky Veil of Death appeared, the endless power of death corroded all the living beings, causing their flesh to peel off and turn into white bones. Finally, they turned undead and became the power in their hands.
There were three kingdoms on the Mannheim Coast. The Kingdom of Grey Mane, the Kingdom of Lizardmen, and the Elf Republic. If not for the fact that several powerful trees of life in the Elf Republic resisted the Sky Veil of Death, all the kingdoms on the Mannheim Coast would have been directly destroyed by them with the Sky Veil of Death.
Therefore, the death knights simply turned a blind eye to that city in the south. This was the opinion of all the death knights.
In fact, they came here for the Lost City. Coincidentally, they were heading towards Drondheim, which led Kant to misunderstand. However, this misunderstanding was not a misunderstanding because the death knights would attack Drondheim in the end. However, their goal was not to revenge Kant, but for the sun disc.
“Continue digging. Dig out the entire Lost City and clear the yellow sand inside at the same time! All of you supervise your slaves!”
A death knight gathered all the death knights and issued an order. Obviously, this death knight’s ident.i.ty was higher than the other death knights.
…
On the road leading from the Stone Pa.s.s to Drondheim, Kant led an army of more than two hundred thousand and steadily advanced. Because they were marching in the desert, even with the mages constantly casting group acceleration, their speed was not particularly fast.
Kant did not use any means to forcefully raise the morale of the soldiers. Therefore, many of the soldiers who were exhausted fell asleep on their horses and continued to move forward with their horses.
In Drondheim, Bunduk had occasionally sent out scouts to understand the enemy’s form in detail. Whenever there was a major movement from the enemy, it would fall into Bunduk’s eyes, then he would send people to pa.s.s this information to Kant.
“What? The enemy has stopped in the depths of the Nahrin Desert? They are digging in the depths of the desert?” When Kant received this information, he was delighted.
“Pa.s.s the order, slow down the speed of the entire army and advance slowly.” Kant did this to make the soldiers who immediately dozed off or even fell into a shallow sleep more comfortable.
Since the enemy troops had stopped, they had more time and could be more relaxed.
