Riding and Slashing

Chapter 348

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

But he can still walk like a normal person, and he can even clearly perceive where there are obstacles and gullies—he can even detect where there is dry soil and thin mud on the road.

The two women didn't bring torches or anything - they went to the cemetery to do civil engineering, and this kind of work can't be seen...

It is midnight now, although the moonlight is bright, but the mud and puddles on the road are hard to see, Bao Daisi and her female companion are walking deep and shallow, but they are surprised to find that Li Ang can always see it with his eyes closed. Precisely avoid muddy water.

Although Li Ang doesn't seem to be in good physical condition at the moment, there are many small wounds on his body that have been soaked white by the lake water, and he feels that he may fall down at any time.But his strange performance still caused Bao Daisi to have a deep awe - this is very similar to some great prophets who 'opened the eyes of the sky' in some legends.

After walking for a short distance, Li Ang felt that the troops in front were approaching soon, Bao Daisi avoided the main road, and helped Li Ang hide behind an abandoned low wall on the side of the road.

But the female soldier under Bao Daisi didn't want to get too close to Li Ang - she probably disliked all men, just like many nobles dislike low-status criminals, she tried not to contact them if she could, and she had to touch them later I can't wait to wash my hands off that kind of skin.

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

So, she hid alone behind another broken grass shed.

During the recent period of war, the houses on both sides of the road were basically destroyed-most of the troops these days are no different from bandits.

When the bandits robbed, they could occasionally leave some rations for the nearby farmers, but when the army passed by, it was very likely that they would leave nothing.

This is also the reason why Li Ang and Bao Daisi wanted to avoid the army - when Li Ang and Sarah went to Changhe Town together, they also hurriedly avoided the sound of horseshoes.

Li Ang could perceive 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 was strange in Li Ang's perception-he always felt that this troop was not normal, but Can't tell what's wrong.

After all, this kind of perception is not directly seen, and many things still have to rely on eyes and ears.

It wasn't until this army approached that Li Ang understood the reason for the abnormality.

The troops used no means of lighting—no lanterns, no torches.

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

Not even the sound of breathing!
Li Ang can be sure that this army is not a living person - he can easily detect breathing and heartbeat when they are close.

However, from the outside, this army is no different from ordinary people - these are not fallen, these are undead!

"Your Excellency Li Ang, this army looks very strange... Could it be that they are planning to sneak attack on Baranley Town at night?"

Baodaisi also said in a low voice, at least she has been a queen for more than ten years, and she can be considered an experienced leader. Of course, she also felt that it seemed wrong to march at night without lighting the fire.It's just that she didn't think in the direction of non-human beings.

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

Li Ang raised his finger.

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

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

Baodaisi's eyes widened in horror, she swallowed, but she didn't make a sound, she knelt down slowly and retracted her head very cooperatively.

Of course, the queen now believed in Li Ang's judgment. After all, Li Ang had successfully predicted twice, and no matter what kind of army it was, Baodaisi didn't want to provoke it.

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

But sometimes when people are unlucky, drinking cold water will make their teeth clogged. Li Ang and Baodaisi are quiet, but the female soldier under Baodaisi accidentally made a movement...

"U...King Ulrik?! Mother..."

The woman screamed again and started running quickly...

Baodaisi was shocked and tried to get up, but Li Ang covered her mouth.

Although Li Ang's hand was weak at this moment, Bao Daisi calmed down under the cover. She pushed Li Ang's hand away, took a deep breath, and then leaned on the wall and looked over carefully.

Li Ang also made the same action...

Then, the scene in front of him made Li Ang a little suspicious of life.

That troop just passed in front of them at this time, and the female warrior ran all the way screaming and howling, causing a group of cavalry to pursue her, but this is not the point.

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

That really is Ulrik!
The set of golden armor and crown helmet was a burial object that Li Ang personally arranged for Ulrik. This is the custom after the death of a king or a nobleman - let the deceased be buried wearing his favorite armor!
In order to maintain a decent appearance for the king, a delicate silk scarf was tied around his neck to cover the wound on his neck.

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

At this time, Ulric's face was covered with blue-gray—in order to prevent snakes, rats, rats and ants, the corpse was poured with mercury and wiped with antiseptic agents, and the skin would turn blue-gray after being buried for a long time.

Li Ang swallowed.

No wonder Ulrik's tomb is empty...

When did this come out?
Ulrik himself is definitely not capable of this... Who is reviving the corpse?

"No! Ahh...help...ah!"

In the distance, the female warrior's ghostly crying and wolf howling stopped abruptly.

Baodaisi next to her was covering her mouth desperately, and a line of tears flowed down the corner of her eyes silently.

It seems that she has a deep relationship with this female warrior—to accompany her, the queen who lost her throne, to Pendor, it must be her loyalty to her, and she should still be her lover.

The culture of Ficavia is like this. Lovers or lovers have nothing to do with men. Men are just daily necessities that match pillows and sheets.

However, even though her heart was extremely painful, Bao Daisy still didn't make any sound.

People who have been queens are indeed more sensible.

It wasn't until Li Ang was sure that the group of undead had gone far away that Baodaisi came out from behind the low wall and rushed to the place where the female soldier fell.

The woman was already dead, her whole body was cut off in half, not even a whole body was left.

Baodaisi cried loudly while hugging the dead body, blood and filth stained her all over.

…………

early morning.

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

It's just that this time it's not for tomb robbery.

By the Sava River, a brand new tomb bag appeared. On a wooden plaque, several symbols that Li Ang could not understand were burned out, and then embedded horizontally on the grave.

This is the burial method of the Ficavians.

"Have you met Ulrik before?"

Li Ang stood at the grave and bowed, asking Bao Daisi, who had swollen eyes.

"Five years ago, we met Ulrik in Sarleon City... At that time, I planned to promote reforms and seek allies everywhere, but he didn't help me at that time..."

Baodaisi stopped crying at this time, but her voice became extremely hoarse.

Li Ang lowered his head and sighed: "Ulrik is actually a poor man."

Bao Daisi turned her head, her eyes were fierce: "He is my enemy now!"

"Bodais, that guy last night wasn't Ulrik himself... an evil spirit took over his body—Ulrik died right in front of me, and I know where his soul is!"

Li Ang explained seriously.

"Possessed by evil spirits?"

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

"It should be the Three Prophets. If there is no accident, Ulrik's body is an evil spirit named Anna."

Only these three spirit bodies have the ability to resurrect a dead body.

Li Ang felt that Ulrik should be Anna—after Anna jumped off the Tower of Forbidden Demons, her body and Ulrik's body stayed in the same morgue together.

And Ulrik's tomb was empty.

In addition, Leon and Midia said before that Anna was in Ulrik's tomb——Anna might have been rescued by Midia.

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

However, Midea then ran into Egreme, lost her body and returned to the gate of the abyss—but in order to kill Egrem, Leon gave Midea a chance, and gave her to rescue the other two prophets Opportunity.

Originally, it was difficult for Anna to get out of the tomb by herself. Circe was strictly supervised in Sarleon City Prison - the prison was near the tower of the House of Nobles, and within the forbidden area, Circe would probably not be able to escape by himself.

If Midea hadn't been given a chance, then Anna and Circe wouldn't have been able to escape so easily.

But now...

This is actually a disaster caused by Li Ang himself, but the lord did not expect that he would be delayed in the void for a whole year...

"The Three Prophets... Are they the three witches who are said to make women young forever? I swear by my kingdom, I must kill them..."

Baodaisi swears through gritted teeth.

It seems that most of the female nobles have indeed heard the rumors of the three prophets.

"You should be able to realize what the so-called eternal youth is all about when you look at Ulrik..."

Li Ang glanced at Bao Daisy: "You don't have to go find them alone, they are also my enemies."

Baodaisi looked at Li Ang, nodded, and bowed to Li Ang: "Duke Leon, I, Baodaisi, ask for your help... I hope you can support me to arm an army! Before killing the three prophets, I am willing to follow you and fight for you!"

This time, she did not call herself queen, but took herself as a warrior, using the way a knight asks for support from a high lord.

'Baudice has joined your team'.

"Let's get two horses first... as long as we can return to Changhe Town, we can solve everything."

Li Ang nodded. He was not afraid of the Three Prophets. In fact, he would not be afraid of any enemies now—since all the gods could no longer descend to the earth, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Except for Kavala, Li Ang is worthy of everyone now.

Today's Sarleon City is already in chaos. A large number of refugees or mobs have flooded into the city. It seems that some minor nobles are trying to maintain order, but they are completely unable to restrain the mobs.

The mobs who entered Sarleon City are occupying the houses that originally belonged to the dignitaries, making a mess everywhere.

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

Amy suddenly moved the capital, leaving behind an empty city. Both the armies of various countries and the mobs were probably a little caught off guard. If there is no accident, Sarleon City will soon become a battlefield.

So instead of entering Sarleon, the two headed straight for Jaraghar.

Li Ang went to Yaragal and bought two horses.

Yaragal was the horse farm that Ulrik set up at the beginning, but there are not many people there. When Amy moved the capital a few days ago, the people of Yaragal were also moved away.

However, there were still some old people in the village who did not want to leave their homeland. They sold two old traveling horses to Li Ang for five hundred dinars, or five golden griffins.

This price seems very cheap under the current situation, and the magic gold coins that Bao Daisi got from Li Ang still maintain their original value, and they can also pass through Yaragal, which makes Li Ang very relieved.

——It seems that my disappearance for so long has not caused a credit crisis in Pande Bank, and even magic gold coins have been popularized.

This can only be Amy's doing.

Li Ang is also here to fully understand the current situation.

Amy might really be bad at fighting, and the war-related situation is very bad. Amy should have moved the capital long ago.

However, those places in the fierce lion that did not face the war directly, although they were very depressed, did not experience inflation.

This shows that Amy has been successfully maintaining the economy in the rear. It is only a decline in national strength, but it has not completely collapsed.

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

This reassured Li Ang a lot - he was not afraid of the war situation being corrupted, he was only worried about the economic collapse.

The unfavorable situation of the battle can be quickly reversed through strategy and a few successful combat operations.

But the collapse of the overall economy is a real collapse, and it will be difficult to slow down in a short time...

At present, the Lion Kingdom is indeed being impoverished, but it is not terrible to be poor, as long as the economic order is maintained all the time - it took Li Ang from being penniless to becoming one of the largest rich men in Pan De, in fact, it only took a year or two That's all.

Besides, the current Li Ang is not the unknown little character back then. As long as Li Ang reappears and shows his name, most people will invest in him...

The two began to head towards Changhe Town non-stop.

……

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

All countries have them.

General Agathon of the Bacchus Empire came from the north and joined General Kryon at the foot of Sarleon.

Caliph Tahir of the D'Shar Principality appeared south of Baranli with many D'Shar lords.

Fieldsway's army appeared west of Baranley, led by Lord Vidis himself.

In addition, there is another army that has entered Luxin Lake...

Yes, they entered the lake, and they launched from the place where Li Ang was rescued.

The leader of this force appears to be King Ulrik.

There were corpses all over the ground under his feet.

He just wiped out another troop in the graveyard.

Before stepping into the lake, 'Ulrik' looked back at his own graveyard - the grave had been dug up and not reburied.

A mocking smile appeared on his face.
