Fantasy journey to the heavens

Chapter 71 Monsters
It has been a full year since Baron Ethan left.

Although, for this world, a large-scale war is indeed long enough to last, but a full year is still too long.

This is obviously very abnormal.

In addition, at the beginning, Baron Ethan still sent letters back from time to time to inform Mrs. Flynn and others of his location and safety.

But recently, even these daily letters have disappeared.

Baron Ethan seemed to have disappeared, with no news at all.

Not only him, but also the soldiers brought over by Baron Ethan now have no news.

Of course, Katim didn't know about this situation at the beginning.

He only learned the news recently after asking various servants and housekeepers in the manor.

There was no news for several months. Either there was an accident and he was unable to reply, or he died directly on the battlefield.

Katim prefers the latter.

After all, under normal circumstances, Baron Ethan should have come back long ago.

The lords of this world are all small independent armies.

Baron Ethan left in response to the kingdom's call and to fulfill his obligations as a noble of the kingdom.

But after a period of time, he has every right to come back, and there is no need to keep fighting on the battlefield.

There has been no news for such a long time, so it's probably because something unexpected happened.

In order not to attract Rigg's attention, Mrs. Flynn deliberately blocked the relevant news, and also deliberately disguised it, making it look like Baron Ethan was still there and would send news back from time to time.

But in fact, Baron Ethan has not been heard from for a long time.

Katim only became aware of this situation after taking control of the entire manor.

Therefore, the situation that Marina is worried about is unlikely to happen in Katim's opinion.

Of course, even if this situation does happen, he is confident that it can be solved.

At worst, just kill another one.

After chatting with Marina for a while, Katim returned to his room.

World energy: 134.

In front of him, the world energy points appeared, and now they were in their early [-]s again.

These hundred world powers were obtained by Katim after killing Rigg, Mrs. Flynn and others.

Compared to ordinary people, Rigg and Mrs. Flynn were both noble and powerful figures.

The death of characters like them has a greater impact, and the world energy they can obtain will naturally be much more.

In addition, coupled with the changes that Katim has made to the entire Isen Territory in the past half month, the world can finally grow to this point in a short period of time.

This is why Katim has to work hard to control the Isen Territory.

The source of world energy is to influence the destiny of others.

Compared to a single person, naturally a lord who controls a place can influence more people.

After becoming the lord of a place, every order he gives can affect a large number of people.

This is a steady stream of income.

The only pity is that there are not many people in Ethan's territory. Even if the orcs that Katim absorbed before are included, there are only tens of thousands of people.

The world energy that this person can provide him seems to be relatively limited.

But that's okay too.

The number of people in a territory is limited, so just occupy a few more places.

Next, Katim is ready to take the initiative and visit several other places.

For example, Baron Senda's territory is very good.

Compared with the Ethan Territory, the territory of Baron Senda is not very large, but the number of people living in it is about half of that of the Ethan Territory, which is considered a good piece of fat.

The most important thing is that the strength is still very weak.

The only one among them, Mousse, who was still considered a figure and whose strength was equivalent to that of an elite knight's apprentice, had been killed by Katim himself a long time ago.

With this kind of strength, let alone Katim himself, he probably could have taken it down by sending more people there.

In addition to the territory of Baron Senda, there are also some good places near Ethan Territory, among which are some weak noble lords.

As long as all these territories can be taken over, the final result will be considerable.

Of course, if you want to do this, there will be resistance.

If in normal times, like Katim doing this, there will definitely be obstruction from above.

The top leaders of the kingdom will not just watch the lords below go to war with each other, they will definitely stop it as soon as possible and take corresponding measures.

But those were normal times.

Now that there is a war going on around here, it can be said that it is the best time to expand our strength.

The kingdom's attention was attracted by the war not far away, and it had no time to pay attention to the local lords below.

As long as we take advantage of this opportunity to occupy the territory, what will happen if we find out later.

I guess I just have to bite the bullet and endure it.

However, despite good planning, accidents happen.

Just as Katim was thinking about Senda's idea, an unexpected news suddenly came.

"what?"

In the hall, Katim stood up suddenly and looked at the young man in front of him in shock: "Baron Senda is dead?"

Just now, he got specific news.

Baron Senda's territory is being attacked by a group of unknown monsters and has fallen.

Baron Senda himself died in the chaos.

This news stunned Katim on the spot.what the hell.

Before he could take action, the other party died on his own?
And looking at it like this, it's not an ordinary kind of death.

"what is the problem?"

Katim rubbed his eyebrows and continued to ask.

Under his questioning, the young man in front of him revealed the information he learned.

As early as a month ago, a plague suddenly appeared in the territory of Baron Senda.

This plague occurred suddenly, without any warning before it appeared.

But once it appeared, it quickly spread to all directions, affecting tens of thousands of people.

At that time, Khadim had not yet moved into the manor and was not yet the owner of this area.

After the plague occurred, many people died quickly, and the scene was very miserable.

If that's all, then it doesn't matter.

A plague or something like that, although terrible, is just that.

It happens every once in a while, it's nothing unusual.

But soon, something horrifying happened.

After a while, those who died from the plague came out of the tombs.

They turned into unknown monsters and began killing the surviving people.

In just a short period of time, the entire Senda Territory fell, and even Baron Senda and his family died in it.

"Plague? Monster?"

Katim couldn't help but frown as he listened to his subordinate's description.

From his perspective, the things he heard before him seemed a bit unnatural.

Moreover, this scene where the dead suddenly resurrected and attacked the living always gave him an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

There is no way.

After all, there are too many works related to it in previous lives.

There were so many zombies, so many of them, that I couldn’t even count them.

Katim was immediately vigilant.

"Have Sembu ready outside."

He thought for a moment, and then said: "I want to take people there to see it myself."

After a while, Katim left the manor.

Sembu is also an excellent knight apprentice, and his strength is almost close to that of an elite.

He was originally under Rigg, but was defeated by Katim after Rigg died, and he joined Katim's team.

Katim's team was quite luxurious this time.

Except for Sembu, a knight apprentice who is close to the elite, the other nearly 20 people are also knight apprentices.

Although the number of people is small, when taken together, including Katim, the strength is enough to be worth an army of a thousand people.

The reason why Katim brought these people was for convenience, and also to better detect intelligence.

After all, if there really was a plague in that place, it would be more likely to suffer if there were too many people.

They moved forward and soon reached the territory of Baron Senda.

This area has long been desolate.

Katim has been to Baron Senda's territory several times in the past and has some impressions of it.

But now, this area has changed drastically.

The passing villages were abandoned and looked deserted everywhere, not even a single living person could be found.

Senbu and others went out to explore, and finally found a few survivors.

"Dead. They are all dead."

Several survivors looked bitter, recalling the previous scene, with a look of fear on their faces: "Many corpses climbed up from the graves."

"They are not afraid of being slashed by weapons, nor are they afraid of being injured. They seem to be in no pain. They look very scary."

Kadim asked several people in succession and received similar responses.

At this time, they were very close to the manor of Baron Senda's family.

"what!!"

A sharp scream attracted their attention.

Following the sound, they rushed over to check the situation and finally found a girl.

The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She looked skinny and skinny, and her clothes were in tatters.

Opposite the girl, a ferocious monster stood there.

The monster maintains a humanoid appearance, and is not very tall. It can be vaguely seen from its appearance that it seems to be a male.

His skin had completely ulcerated, and large areas of flesh under the skin were exposed. Many places were rotten, and mixed with blood, it looked particularly disgusting.

Although it could be seen that he was originally a human being, his appearance was somewhat different from that of a normal human being at this moment. The claws on his hands had grown out, and his eyes had turned red. He was currently staring at the girl in front of him.

The girl looked like she had been hiding in the mountains for a long time. This time she happened to go out to search for food, and she ran into this scene.

If Katim and others had not arrived, this would probably have become the scene of another tragedy.

paddle
The long sword was unsheathed and made a crisp sound. In an instant, it pinned the monster to the ground, making it unable to move.

The humanoid monster was still struggling, but it was pinned to the ground and unable to move.
