A baby dragon has built a nest outside the Novice Village

Chapter 90 Tracking
The Death Knight has left the town of Pala far behind.

It watched its legions easily destroy the troops deployed by the nobles on the border.

Fragile and powerless, this is the impression the Death Knight has of the so-called "army".

He restrained his undead and watched the scattered soldiers flee to the rear.

Fear has already set in among the fleeing soldiers, and they will spread it.

"The sun is setting."

Until the soldiers disappeared into the horizon and the dead on the ground woke up again, the legions of death knights continued to surge forward.

……

Reinhardt was stopped outside the town.

The town has been in turmoil recently, with horrific rumors about the undead spreading everywhere. Some of them have been transformed into horror legends through word of mouth.

Outsiders at this time would naturally be subjected to the most severe interrogation, let alone someone like Reinhardt, who came from the Sagat territory.

"Then we can't waste time with these guards outside. Is there any other way?"

"Forget it, you're the captain."

"'Intermediate Concealing Aura' and 'Invisibility' should be enough to trick these soldiers into entering the town. But the level 7 expert in the town might notice something."

It looks like the Undead are on the move again.

Reinhardt sensed a familiar smell from them.

"You can't enter the town until the mayor approves it."

"Something happened in town."

Most of these towns are manned by strong men of level seven or eight, who will help solve some problems that are difficult for ordinary local soldiers to solve.

Reinhardt looked at Ella.

Reinhardt smiled bitterly. He was not unaware of the consequences.

Reinhardt smiled, and then their figures disappeared from the perception of the surrounding adventurers and soldiers.

"Then you still..."

They had already tried conventional methods, such as negotiation and providing proof of being an adventurer, but none of them worked. If conventional methods didn't work, they would have to try less conventional methods.

Other adventurers at the city gate complained. The Adventurer's Association had issued a lot of quests regarding the undead in the town, which attracted many adventurers from the surrounding areas. If the quest failed because they couldn't enter the town, it would be a big loss for them.

"Can you sense the breath of that undead now?"

"But at least they were here while I was tracking them, and if I can find something they left behind, I can try again."

"If we are discovered, we will probably become the enemy who sneaked in from Sagat City."

Ella shook her head. The other party was very perceptive. After realizing that he was being followed, he took corresponding measures. She could only track him to here.

Suddenly, the soldiers on the city wall started to stir, and then the guards blocking the town gate received new orders and completely closed the gate. There were hurried footsteps in the town, and Reinhardt could vaguely hear the soldiers in the town loudly announcing a curfew.

In the end, Ella could only cover her forehead and shake her head.

"The curfew has been issued, and all militias have been mobilized and started patrolling the town. The signalmen have also set out. According to your order, we have sent all signalmen to Styre City from different directions to request the Earl's support."

A soldier is reporting to his commander on the execution of his orders.

The commander was in the mayor's mansion, and he temporarily took over the command of the entire town.

The supreme commander who was supposed to exercise command at this moment, the level seven strong man stationed here, is now lying in front of the commander as a corpse.

The body of the mayor was not far from the commander.

The mayor was still in his pajamas, and was obviously awakened suddenly. It seemed that the level 7 warrior had suddenly come to visit, perhaps because he had discovered something. But now, both of them were dead, with a big hole in the mayor's chest, and the level 7 warrior was pierced through the heart by a long sword from behind.

That was his own sword.

The commander felt a little scared when he saw the scene in front of him. The soldiers in the mayor's mansion were whispering and discussing what they saw. The commander could imagine that before long, there would be another story spreading in the streets of this town.

There are enough legends and stories about the undead, and the rumors and legends in their territory have spread to several other nearby territories.

The commander seemed a little irritated. He looked around and seemed to feel that something was beside him.

"Why do I feel like he's going to find us?"

There were indeed people around him. Reinhardt and the others were here, checking the body on the ground.

"He is not even at level five yet, and cannot break through the image of 'intermediate shielding aura'. He should just be a little more sensitive than others. Soon, his attention will be diverted to other places."

Just as Ella said, the commander quickly shifted his gaze, thinking about what to do next.

"There's a big hole in the chest, very similar to the one we saw at the previous sentry post."

Reinhardt and the others continued to examine the body in front of them.

"It should be that faceless half-undead."

The mayor's body did not require much examination. The cause of death was clear, and the undead who killed him was also clear.

The cause of death of the level seven warrior nearby was a bit strange.

He was stabbed in the back by his own sword, which pierced his heart and killed him.

"What do you think?"

Reinhardt looked at Ella.

"Someone took the sword from him. No, a level 7 warrior like him would not turn his back to the enemy even if he had no weapon in his hands. There seems to be no signs of fighting here. It looks like..."

"It looked like he just stood there and let his enemy take the weapon from him and stab him in the heart from behind."

Reinhardt took over Ella's words.

"This is unreasonable. Even a tenth-level spirit-type undead can hardly make a seventh-level warrior lose consciousness for so long."

Ella squatted down and gently touched the body in front of her.

Her magic wasn't strong enough to allow her to turn over the corpse in public without being noticed, so she could only do some simple inspections.

"Ok?"

Ella discovered that the lining under the corpse's armor had cracked in some places.

"The lining is cracked?"

A vague idea flashed through Reinhardt's mind, but it was so fleeting that he couldn't catch it.

"But at least we know where he went before coming to this mayor's mansion."

Reinhardt squatted down and picked a ball of dirt from the sole of the corpse's shoe.

This lump of soil is still very fresh, and judging from its looseness, it must have been turned up recently.

Although the town is not big, all the roads are paved with stone slabs and there are no dirt roads anymore. In this town, apart from the farmland outside the village, there is only one place that still has this kind of dirt.

That's the cemetery.

Obviously, this level seven expert discovered something in the cemetery and came here to discuss countermeasures with the mayor.

"Let's go to the cemetery. Maybe they left not long ago."
