The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 25 Windsor
thump!
Just as Ickert stepped into the tent with his front foot, he half-kneeled on the ground with his back foot.
"Fuck!"

Others may think that he has a plan, but Ickert is very clear that he is gambling his life.

But to be honest, he didn't expect the undead attack scene that Sasha said to be so big!
The tidal wave of undead circled under the mountain where Ickert and the others were, and the blue line stretched almost to the end of the horizon.
Not to mention where to find a dead person of this size, Ickert just said this little Windsor collar!What can she do?

If he hadn't set up the magic circle in advance today, there is a high probability that he will die in the tide of undead!

The core principle of the magic circle is actually a complete updraft. This spell was created by him. Although the motivation for creating it is impure, it is unexpectedly easy to use.

In the enchantment of the magic circle, all the magical powers that are changed by the influence of creatures or land will be blown to the sky.

After the magic power is freed from the entanglement with the surface matter, it only shows the magic power characteristics of the air.

The magic convection formed in this way can weaken the magic characteristics in the magic circle.

This is like stripping the pheromones that insects can perceive from human beings, and the undead are the insects that covet human flesh and blood.

In this way, the car formation without magical features "looks" like a cloud of air to the undead, and they cannot perceive anything.

If it's just human information, the undead will continue to advance as before, and will not deliberately avoid the convoy.

But Ickert happened to eliminate the magical features of the land, so the undead decided that there was "no way".

He didn't think of this until later. Thanks to his good luck, he made the magic circle more comprehensive when he invented the updraft.

In fact, he originally just wanted to cling to the ground to generate an updraft to be more concealed, but he didn't expect to save his life
The cheers of the leaders and rat people came from outside the tent, and Ickert felt that these guys were really heartless!
When the undead approached, he himself was trembling!When ordering the crossbowman to shoot, he was also afraid!

It's just that as a lord, he can't let the morale of the army that he has built up with great difficulty collapse.

So he has to be extra brave!Far braver than ordinary people!Be as brave as the legendary heroes!
Status brings status and pressure to match status.

Ickert, who became a lord for the first time, sometimes suffers from pain and confusion.

But when his name was screamed out along those fanatical throats, Ickert couldn't hide the smile on his face.

This little vanity may be the reason why he decided to become the lord.

What about the tide of the undead?Not even a tiny Iktor can be killed!It can't shake his determination to govern Windsor at all!
It's just a piece of broken land, and he can't lift his spirits without any difficulty!

After regaining his morale, Ickert propped up his body with a big sword.

The duration of the undead march was much longer than everyone expected. It was not until three days later that a large number of undead receded like a tide. It was unknown where they came from and where they were going.

During these three days, Ickert taught little Sasha how to maintain the magic circle every day, and taught her some basic magic knowledge, which made her understand the basics of magic.

As soon as the undead left, Ickert was finally able to lead the team to set off.

At this time, whether it was a rat man or a human, the fear of the undead had been completely let go of in their hearts, and they were no longer so repulsive to Windsor, a territory that was infested by the undead.

Ickert was afraid that some people would not want to go to the territory, but now it seems that his worries are unnecessary.

The reason is that the citizens think that with the protection of such a powerful mage as their lord, the mere undead are just a few more days of cold winter.

Thanks to the March of the Undead clearing the way for the convoy, Ickert and his party arrived at Windsor very smoothly.

In the distance, an iconic white ruin appeared in front of my eyes, which was the city ruins left after the failure of the Imperial Expeditionary Force.

The wide Vanvna River passes through the ruins, and this river will flow down through important cities such as Donali. The snow melted from the Kabulon Mountains is very clear, and the upstream of this river is far less than that of the downstream. Generally dim.

On the other side of the ruins is a small white castle. The whole building is made of local specialty white stone. If you want to come here, it is the Windsor Castle that Sasha said.

Now that they are all here, there is no need to hide some things. Ickert gathered his team and recounted the history of the territory that little Sasha said.

So far, everyone knows the origin of the undead and the crisis hidden behind the Windsor Territory.

"Master! This is an ominous place!"

Aris, who has always obeyed Ickert, did not hesitate to object.

"Master, I can assure you that with your talent, you will be much better than here in any other territory!"

Aris said and pointed behind him. A few ratmen were beating a lone undead violently. There are many undead like this who have not kept up with the large army. Although they are not as effective as the tide of undead, they are A major factor limiting the development of the territory.

Aris' performance is exactly what Ickert is worried about. This is an ominous land, and anyone can see it.

But he has to govern here again, because retreating without a fight means punishment, but his subordinates, like Sasha before, may think that there is another way out, or be intimidated by difficulties and lose their territory hope.

"My lord, I think what Aris said is right, and even if we want to take root here, there is no need to live in such a dangerous place in the first place!"

Yarrow took the conversation and said to the city ruins and small castle in the distance.

"There is a city destroyed by orcs, and there is the target of the undead! Sir, do you think we should find a safer place? For example, that mountain!"

As Yarrow spoke, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a wonderful point. The hill was flat, with a cliff at the bottom, and a dirt slope leading to the bottom.

Ickert followed his pointer and found that it was really good. If a fortress was built there, it would definitely be very comfortable.

But did he come here to build a fortress as a turtle?
"Yaro, you still don't understand. If I just want to survive, I will naturally have more and better choices, but if I want to accomplish something, I won't fence myself in!"

Although the steep fortress is indestructible, Ickert cannot see the hope of development, he can only see endless restrictions.

The reason why the empire's cities were built at the foot of the mountain was because it was more suitable for development, more promising, and able to support more people.

Eckert is a petty lord now, but he never imagined that he would be a petty lord for the rest of his life.

"My lord, I... I just want to make a suggestion."

Yarrow lost his breath after being told, while Stormrat Genil picked out his ears, it didn't matter, anyway, he just had to obey the orders of the clan chief.

Seeing that things could not be stopped, Aris could only try to make the last advice.

"Master, even if you have made up your mind, you still have to consider the strength of the enemy! If it is true what Sasha said, there is a corrupt knight in the castle!"
