Chapter 76 What Decline Cannot Affect

As the high priest of the Sun God Cult, Laming can read many books that are only open to high-ranking church officials, which allows him to understand the world better than many other people.

But the more he read those obscure books, the more he understood one thing: the human race was still too young. They only had a superficial understanding of many things in this world.

The sunlight bathes him, but the sunlight cannot speak, just like the sun god they believe in.

Only rarely could their Pope hear a hint of inane instructions during his prayers.

Laming often feels that he is in a fog, so he adopts a more cautious strategy most of the time.

"Isn't the high priest being too cautious?"

Reinhardt pulled the sword from one of the bloodlines.

The missions they have accepted recently are all of this type, with complete reconnaissance intelligence support, and they face enemies they can consistently defeat.

"This is not good. We can complete the task steadily and improve our strength."

"This place is quite close to Sagatte City."

"No extra missions, remember?"

"No extra missions, as far as I can remember."

This time Reinhardt and his team have an additional mission.

"Let's go. We still need to check the status of those reconnaissance teams."

He still remembered that last time, they found a pair of twins hiding in the cellar during an assassination mission. Reinhardt insisted on taking the nearly starving twins with him when he left. As a result, he was almost blocked by the undead.

Ella actually enjoyed this kind of mission. The difficulty was just right and the battles were challenging enough. After each battle, she could clearly feel her strength improving.

Ella warned Reinhardt with some concern. If he didn't keep a close eye on him, this guy would probably cause trouble.

After saying that, he took a step forward and walked towards the ambush points of the reconnaissance teams.

Reinhardt could already see the black fog on the horizon. According to the reports of the previous reconnaissance teams, the black fog blocked the sunlight and the outside vision, making it impossible to conduct reconnaissance in the city.

"Remember what Lord Lemming said. Our mission is to simply confirm whether those teams are still on duty. No rescue or additional investigation is required."

The body of the dead bloodline lying on the ground showed that Reinhardt and his men had not made such a mistake.

Those reconnaissance teams had failed to send people back to report at the scheduled time twice, so Reinhardt and his team had an additional task.

After experiencing the recent battles, their strength has improved significantly.
Reinhardt has reached level seven, Ella has reached level six, and Krigor has grown a pair of small wings on his back. Although he cannot fly with them yet, this proves that the dragon blood in his body is further awakening.

It is not difficult for such a team to deal with a village guarded by a fifth-level blood heir and his undead army. Just be careful not to be completely surrounded by those low-level undead.

Reinhardt nodded repeatedly and repeated Ella's instructions. He also knew that he was somewhat unfair to his teammates last time.

The nearest ambush point is not far away, less than ten kilometers away. If they are quick, with their speed, they can get there in just over ten minutes.

But it took less than ten minutes, or even less than five minutes, for them to find out why the reconnaissance team did not report on time.

Groups of undead were gathering outside the city of Sagat, and in one of them, he saw a undead wearing the standard soft armor of the Shadow Raven Scout Squad. Reinhardt's scalp was numb, the number of undead gathering outside the city of Sagat was far beyond their imagination.

Although most of the undeads that gathered towards Saget City did not look good, he saw more than one skeleton soldier completely fall apart while walking, and then these scattered bones trembled, slowly crawled together, put themselves together again, and then walked out of Saget City again.

The individual strength of these undeads is not very strong, most of them are less than the first level, but their number itself is strength.

"Retreat, our mission has been completed, leave quickly."

Reinhardt didn't dare to make any plans to cause any trouble now. He just wanted to complete the task safely.

While the undead in the distance had not noticed them, Reinhardt and his group quietly retreated.

Laming now congratulated himself for his caution.

He had already learned about the situation ahead from Reinhardt. If he led his troops forward and charged forward, the result would probably be that they would be overwhelmed by the enemy's numbers.

"That adventurer is indeed quite capable. No wonder Lania took a fancy to him."

Although Lemming will only send a small team to perform a mission away from the main force when there is sufficient intelligence support and after making a lot of assessments.

Even so, the success rate of most of these teams' missions is less than 70%. After all, the intelligence is more or less inaccurate or outdated. An extra fifth-level undead in the intelligence may force a team to give up the mission directly.

But Reinhardt and his team were able to complete their mission successfully every time, even if there were occasional accidents.

Laming decided to take a slight risk and give Reinhardt and his team a mission without any intelligence support.

"I need you to investigate and deal with the source of those undead spirits."

Lei Ming was also unable to assess what threats he would encounter during the mission. Perhaps they would be just some low-level undead, or perhaps they would be mid- to high-level creatures transformed from the corpses of powerful men, and would be difficult to deal with.

"The Death Knight needs corpses to awaken the dead. There must be a large tomb where those undead spirits came from."

After so many years, the church's records of the Death Knight were somewhat incomplete. Although it was known that it could revive the dead around it, Lemming had never thought that it could actually use the corpses that had been dead for who knows how long.

According to the current understanding of the church, necromancy also requires corpses that are as fresh as possible. It is difficult for necromancy to revive corpses that have been buried for more than ten years.

The Church has always believed that the principle of the Death Knight calling upon the dead is the same as necromancy, but now it seems to be different.

But no matter how evil a being is, it is difficult to transform a corpse affected by holy water into an undead creature.

After all, only a few people die in the wild, and the vast majority of human bodies are still buried in various cemeteries.

Reinhardt's mission is to find these cemeteries, eliminate the newly born undead, and then pour the highest quality holy water on the land.

The Death Knight quietly looked at the undead gathering before him.

"Before the Decline, necromancy wasn't so picky about corpses. Unfortunately, a creature's traits are not affected by the Decline."

The city of Sagat behind him was already an empty city. Rangnick had left with a few of his bloodlines, ready to try the plan that would allow the remnants of their civilization to continue to survive.
