A baby dragon has built a nest outside the Novice Village

Chapter 41 Acceleration

Farui was flying over the territory of Sagat City.

Lania, who was in his paw, was now motionless. Fari glanced at him and from the feeling in his paw, Lania was still breathing.

Then there is no problem.

The riding experience in this position on the claw was definitely not a good one. Lannia only lasted half an hour before she vomited all over the place. Now fainting was a relief for her in some way.

"Anyway, we can just give her a healing spell when we get there."

The contract did not mention guaranteeing Lania's riding experience. He just had to bring her to his lair alive, and then wait for Reinhardt to bring the magic items promised before, perform a little Dragon Quest scene with him, and then watch him take Lania away.

Fari continued to fly towards his nest with peace of mind.

But he gradually discovered some abnormalities on the ground.

The population around the entire city of Sagat seems to have decreased a lot.

And the city of Sagat still did not make any move on this.

According to the propaganda in the city of Sagat, the Shadow Crow Mercenaries and the princess Lannia behind them are the culprits of this undead disaster.

But the city of Saget doesn't seem to need these patrol soldiers now. The monster nests in the wild are basically abandoned. Some of them fled on their own initiative, but most of them were destroyed by the undead. Dried blood can be seen at the entrances of those nests.

On the streets of Sagat City, there are several simple recruitment offices, and recruiting officers are shouting.

"Sir, the recruitment of the 12th Militia has been completed."

And now, the village below has become a ruin.

At that time, the village below was bustling with people. The villagers had ruddy complexions and strong physiques. Occasionally, small caravans would come to the village to trade goods.

"Join the militia and protect your homeland."

If the situation around Sagat before was just a riot of undead, the current situation can be described as a disaster of undead.

In the study, in front of the knight, a pale-faced officer was giving a report.

There were some young men gathered in front of the recruiting office, some of whom were already signing contracts with the recruiting officer. These young men would soon be added to the newly established militia.

There were many more villages that were completely destroyed along the way than before. Even in a few towns, the atmosphere seemed tense and the people were much less crowded. The cemeteries outside the towns also showed signs of being disturbed.

"Send this militia regiment to the town of Ilek, and then withdraw the Fourth Regiment."

He remembered that not long ago, he had flown over the village directly below him.

Even among the troops that were confronting Shadow Crow around the town of Ilek, the number of regular troops was decreasing, and more and more militia forces were replacing them.

Judging from the bloodstains on the ground that had not yet completely dried, the attack happened not long ago, but the bodies of the villagers had all been taken away. Even the village cemetery was turned over, and the bodies of those villagers who had died long ago were not spared.

"It is our responsibility to fight against the Undead and stop the Shadow Crow mercenaries who are colluding with the Undead."

This is a wealthy village, and there is even a third-level warrior serving as the militia captain here.

Apart from the soldiers who were confronting Shadow Crow around the town of Ilek, regular troops were becoming increasingly rare around the entire city of Saget. Those regular troops who were patrolling, destroying low-level monster nests, and maintaining basic law and order in the territory were almost nowhere to be seen along the way.

The 4th Sagat Regiment was one of the few regular troops outside the town of Ilek. After they withdrew, there were only four centuries of regular troops left around Ilek, except for the militia.

These militias were barely trained, and Shadow Crow only needed to send out a large company to completely crush their resistance within a day.

"Disarm the Fourth Regiment directly and send them to the Great Cemetery for transformation." "If we send them to the cemetery as a whole, they will resist and cause losses."

The Jazz waved his hands as if to shoo away a fly.

"It doesn't matter. Without weapons, the damage they can cause is limited."

The knight has received news from the people he arranged in the royal capital that the large-scale intervention of the Sun God Cult is inevitable.

This is absolutely bad news for the Jazz. His preparations are not complete. In order to speed up, he has to start overdrawing his future potential.

"I wanted to leave more people alive."

The officer had left to deliver the lord's orders, and he was now flipping through a report in front of him.

The report contains a list of villages that have recently lost contact and have been confirmed to have been destroyed.

The municipal authorities of Sagat City are still working hard, and the report finally makes recommendations, suggesting that villagers in remote villages be temporarily relocated to areas closer to the town and castle where they can be protected by the army.

These suggestions would not be adopted, and the dedicated municipal officials did not know that the people to whom they were reporting had ordered the destruction of the villages.

"As a result, it will be difficult for the territory's population to recover in the next 20 years."

Jazz sighed.

Without the living, there would be no dead. The number and quality of the undead needed the living as a basis. In the past few years, the knight had been carefully maintaining the population of the territory. The number of living people who needed to be sent to the cemetery and transformed into undead each year was determined only after precise calculations.

This behavior has been going on for more than ten years. It was not until this year that he began to speed up the process after realizing that there was no longer enough place for the accumulated undead to hide and they would sooner or later be discovered by someone with ulterior motives.

But even so, in his plan, he still kept those living people who could provide him with enough value. It was just that the intervention of the Sun God Cult completely disrupted his plan.

“Since there are fewer people alive, it seems possible that there could be fewer municipal officials to manage them.”

The Jazz picked up a pen and circled the name of the author on the report.

Before long, this person will be taken to the cemetery, whether he likes it or not.

"I've already arrived."

The Jazz noticed something.

Bad news and good news usually go hand in hand, such as the bad news that the Church of the Sun is fully involved.

"The reason the Cult of the Sun got involved is that they found a hilt, most likely the one left behind by the Death Knight Valachi."

The reappearance of Valachi's hilt is good news for the Jazz.

He has been collecting items of the Death Knight Valachi for a long time, including sword fragments, helmets, and breastplates. He has already collected these if he can seize the hilt of the sword.

"Maybe we can bring the Death Knight Valachi back to the world."

This thought kept popping up in his mind.

A twelfth-order monster, with the support of a large number of low- and middle-level undead, is not incapable of dealing with the Cult of the Sun God.

So, "Shadow" now arrived in the royal capital and began to look for opportunities.
