A baby dragon has built a nest outside the Novice Village

Chapter 86 Knowledge Eliminates Fear
Fari looked down solemnly.

The situation was much worse than he had expected.

Originally, he thought that the church's crusaders could solve the problem so that he could lie dead comfortably in the nest.

But it seems that the church clearly underestimated the situation they would encounter.

Not only the church, everyone underestimated the destructive power of these undead.

After all, most of the previous undead disasters were just small fights by a few necromancers, and the number of undead they could control was at most a few thousand. In this case, the church was also lacking in response.

And now, Farui saw group after group of undead gathering towards the Death Knight Legion.

Most of the new immigrant settlements have been evacuated, but there are still many survivors in the few settlements that have not been evacuated.

Those living people hid in cellars, haystacks, and storage boxes. Their disguises were not very good, and they did not use any method to hide the smell of living people on their bodies. Many people had no common sense about dealing with the dead spirits and chose to hide together.

In front of the undead, the breath of these living people is as conspicuous as candlelight in the dark night.

Fary saw that the undead found and tore apart many new immigrants who were hiding, but they deliberately left some behind.

"Go find Lanya and the others. It's too late for these settlements."

The appearance of the dragons boosted the morale of the town. During this time, the deeds of the two dragons had spread to many people, especially the black dragon. According to the legend, he briefly forced back the Death Knight.

"They only leave behind people who are in a position to see them tear apart their victims."

"The High Priest is at the rear of the Death Knights, trying to slow down the legion's advance."

The action of using holy water to purify the tombs has indeed been effective. There are not many tombs that have not been discovered and purified. Most of these tombs are very old, and most of the corpses have completely decayed and can no longer be awakened.

A servant caught up with Lanya.

"Most of the people in those settlements are still alive."

"There are 22 settlements that have not been evacuated. Some are too far ahead and have no time left, so they have to give up. Some are unwilling to evacuate."

Just as Lania was about to respond, a huge gust of air hit her.

The Death Knight was indeed not advancing very fast, but that was because he was replenishing his legion, and the number of dead who responded to his call was far fewer than previously expected.

"The civil affairs department asked whether they should put these new immigrants on the death list, as they believed that these people should all be dead."

These new immigrants who were evacuated here were angry and frightened, and she often had to appear to comfort them. After receiving the promise that the undead would eventually be destroyed and that the land and tax exemptions originally promised to them would remain valid after victory, the new immigrants calmed down again and went to the temporary camp under the orders of the soldiers, waiting to be evacuated to the rear.

The town square once again became the headquarters. Fary sat in the square a little uncomfortably. He was a little bigger than before, and now the square couldn't accommodate him. Safrina turned into a human form and asked about Laming's location.

Savrina noticed that the undead were purposefully leaving behind survivors.

"Are there a lot of horror stories and legends about the dead circulating recently?"

Lania said it very tactfully, the high priest was temporarily blocked behind the Death Knight Legion. When Safrina was in the air, she didn't feel that the Death Knight Legion was delayed.

Farri's voice came from above them.

They looked up and two giant dragons appeared in her sight.

Lania had just finished comforting a group of new immigrants who were evacuated to the town of Pala.

"Where is High Priest Lemming?"

Savrina asked the second question.

Lania was a little confused. She didn't know why Safrina cared about this issue. But she nodded and picked out a few recent horror legends about the dead and told them to Safrina.

"It's true." Safrina made a judgment.

"Who is the highest-ranking clergyman?"

The high priest who once worked with Savrina in the royal capital came out.

"it's me."

"Contact the church and tell them that the undead are creating legends."

Seeing that Savrina looked solemn, the priest did not delay and walked towards the prayer room not far away, where he could contact the church headquarters through prayer.

In this world, legends contain power. Whether a strong man wants to break through to the legendary level or go one step further and ignite the divine fire, he needs a large number of legendary stories pointing to him.

The books of Dragon Island recorded a lot of research related to legends. Although what Savrina saw was only the most superficial part, she could still sense that the undead were intending to create new legends.

The problem now is that the legend of the creation of these undead does not point to the Death Knight.

If they wanted to raise the rank of the Death Knight and make him a Knight of Apocalypse, the legends they created should be more targeted, and each legend should be closely related to the Death Knight.

But the horror legends narrated by Savrina did not point to the Death Knight. Most of them talked about how terrible, terrifying, and irresistible the "Undead" were in general.

Those villagers couldn't even tell the difference between the different undead.

"No matter what, the enemy's intentions must be stopped."

"But how to stop it?"

The horrific legend has already spread among the people, and forcefully stopping people from discussing it will only drive the discussion underground and amplify the anxiety and fear in people's hearts.

"Tell them all about the dead."

Fari spoke up.

He wondered how the legend would bring power to those undead spirits.

"Ordinary people haven't recovered from the shock yet, and this will intensify their fear..."

Lanya subconsciously wanted to reject Fari, but she thought about Fari's previous actions, which brought her the much-needed help.

She decided to listen to what Farri had to say.

"What do you think is frightening?"

Lania didn't wait for Fari's further explanation, but waited for a question from him.

"Death, pain?"

Farrell shook his head.

"When your soldiers go to the battlefield, they should know that they are likely to die in battle, but they probably won't feel much fear at that time."

Farui didn't wait for Lania to speak before continuing to explain.

"Death and pain do not bring much fear to humans. What really brings fear is the unknown. Those people do not know why the undead can fight without sleep, why the undead will not fall down after the heart is pierced. They do not know why the corpse will turn into the undead. People are afraid of darkness, not the darkness itself, but the unknown in the darkness."

Lanya fell into deep thought, then she called a servant to the side.

"Ask the priest for help and explain the knowledge about the dead to the people in a way that is as easy to understand as possible."
