Make the dragon great again

Chapter 258 The Undead Plague Outbreak
While Adrian was preparing for the design and production of Tarling, in the palace, the Duke Regent and the nobles finally reached an agreement on the attitude towards [Sky City].

"Then, everyone, let's celebrate in advance that we are about to harvest a group of loyal and potential servants."

Elizabeth took the lead in toasting, and everyone echoed, drinking and drinking together for a while, as if a secret association decided the fate of the world.

However, at this meeting, a secret covenant was indeed concluded among some nobles, and regardless of whether it was secret or not, these people present can indeed determine the fate of a kingdom...

In the midst of the usual mutual compliments among the nobles, Elizabeth's personal maid, Lillian, suddenly walked in quickly from outside the room, and whispered a few words in Elizabeth's ear.

Seeing the scene of the Duchess Regent and her beautiful maid, who is well-known in the aristocratic circles, being "in love with each other", everyone inevitably had imaginations, especially some aristocratic men with special hobbies, and they immediately felt disrespectful...

However, Elizabeth's subsequent words made everyone have to pull their minds back from imagining some vulgar books. (it's you)

After listening to Lilian's report, Elizabeth's expression suddenly darkened, and after a moment of thought, she said to everyone:

"Everyone, the kingdom is in trouble... the southern battlefield is out of control."

"Out of control?"

"The Principality of Griffin can still organize a large-scale army? Didn't it mean that they fell into high-level chaos due to internal problems?"

"How dare the principality organize a counterattack when there is a giant dragon suppressing it?"

"Could it be that Golden Earl, who disregarded the agreement with the dragon?"

"I think it's possible that people from the southern faction are collaborating with the enemy secretly..."

"Guys from the northern faction, you are slandering for no reason! How can we still have contact with Griffin!"

"Hmph! After all, this is not the first time for you. Besides, am I talking about you? Why are you so excited..."

Seeing that the banquet was showing signs of getting out of control, Elizabeth picked up a spoon and tapped it on the crystal cup. After attracting everyone's attention, she said:
"Everyone, please be quiet. The loss of control on the battlefield is not due to the above problems, but... a large-scale awakening of undead creatures has occurred, so that it has formed a plague of undead that threatens both countries at the same time!"

Undead plague!

The banquet was quiet for a moment, and then a louder noise broke out than before.

[Undead Plague], as the name suggests, refers to a large-scale outbreak of undead creatures, which forms a disaster that harvests life like a plague. In history, every time [Undead Tide] occurs, it is accompanied by the death of millions of lives.

Legend has it that if the [Undead Plague] is not suppressed at the initial stage, it will develop into a [Undead Tide] sweeping the earth, and if the [Undead Tide] goes further, it will evolve into a [Undead Scourge] that even [Legendary] is afraid of!

The [Undead Plague] recorded in the Kingdom of Behemoth was accompanied by the death of tens of millions of lives, and the last two were the "Tudant Undead Event" more than 50 years ago, and four years ago. The former "Barbarian Front Undead Legion".

These two recent outbreaks of [Undead Plague] have been recorded. The former led to the demise of many tribal chieftains in the northern part of [Quintus Great Swamp]. The death toll was close to 30. ]’s Archmage Edmund led the elite Transcendents in the eastern part of the mainland to crusade and exterminate them. I am afraid that the subsequent history will be rewritten accordingly;

The latter was wiped out without any real contact with the Kingdom of Bechymos because of the intervention of the giant dragon. However, according to the information obtained from the city-states in the northern part of the mainland afterwards, it can be inferred that the disaster that first occurred in the northern part of the mainland, It actually led to the destruction of three castles and a city-state along the way, and millions of deaths!

Of course, their news is outdated, and they don’t know that not long ago, another [Undead Plague] broke out in the middle of the continent, and was extinguished again due to the intervention of the giant dragon...

Now, this kind of disaster, which easily causes tens of millions of deaths and will continue to spread if it is not eliminated, has broken out in the place where the two countries are at war!
The nobles present here are not fools, and they all know with their butts that a lot of death will be accompanied by the battlefield.

Strictly speaking, the war between the Kingdom of Bechymos and the Principality of Griffin has lasted for four years. not undergone rigorous purification;
Therefore, once the [Undead Plague] breaks out, it will pass through the initial stage and enter the mature stage, and it will develop into a [Undead Tide]!

It's no wonder that the frontline will report the news that "the battlefield is out of control"...

It was really a leaky house and it was raining all night. Elizabeth rubbed her forehead vigorously, only feeling her head buzzing.

This side has just discussed a solution to the [Sky City] related matters, and another big trouble has arisen on the other side...

How to solve it?

After all, Elizabeth has been sitting in the position of Duke Regent for 20 years. After a brief struggle in her heart, she quickly made up her mind:
This is no longer a problem that can be solved only by the power of "mortals". To deal with such extraordinary events, one can only rely on the power of extraordinary people.

"Everyone," Elizabeth said to the crowd, "Although it was a bit sudden, I think the plan we drew up just now needs to be accelerated and the battle will begin immediately."

There are many quick-minded people among the nobles, and someone suddenly said:
"Indeed, the trial of [City of the Sky] is conducted twice a day, which is equivalent to the birth of two superhumans who have received power from a giant dragon in one day. At the third level, some people are even close to breaking through to the hero level!"

"That's why, we need to pass the trial as many third-tier transcendents as possible in the shortest possible time, so that even if we can't produce hero-level combat power immediately, we can still produce diamond-level transcendents at the rate of two people every day. Putting these diamond grades into the front line and cooperating with the army can greatly prevent the spread of the [Undead Plague]!"

"This is about the kingdom... No, it's about the eastern part of the continent and even the entire continent. Those adventurers should understand that they should withdraw voluntarily and leave all the trial quotas to us to decide!"

It sounds high-sounding, but it has ulterior motives.

This last proposal won the approval of many nobles present, but some people thought of the bloody trial a few days ago.

"This... seems to violate the rules of [City of the Sky], right? If the giant dragon sends down the blood test again, wouldn't we lose more than we gain?"

At this time, Elizabeth ended the topic and said:

"The giant dragon will not agree. In their eyes, the harm caused by the mere [Undead Plague] is probably not taken seriously at all... And we don't need to make such a small move. We only need to send the elites of various families to fight against the dead. It is enough to go all out in the trial."

Elizabeth put emphasis on the word "go all out", and everyone understood that this meant to go all out to eliminate ordinary adventurers in the trial...

After everyone digested her speech, Elizabeth added:

"Moreover, we can inform the adventurers on the floating island about the news of [Undead Plague]. Most of them are adventurers from kingdoms. They will at least take the initiative to join the front line when the situation is tense for their hometown. ...Therefore, even if there are some lucky ones among the common people who are given power, they will not necessarily waste this power."

Although everyone was a little bit unwilling to let such wealth be divided among the common people, they also knew that what Elizabeth said was right, and with the lessons learned from the "Blood Trial", they did not dare to raise too many small thoughts, so they had to agree ...

Standing beside Elizabeth, the maid Lillian could not help but sigh inwardly as she saw the master's hands on her lap tightly holding on to the dress.

In the end, the lady still had to succumb to the "extraordinary", and in consideration of the interests of the "mortal", she decided to succumb...

At this time, Elizabeth was also talking to herself in her heart:
"I am not surrendering to the extraordinary, nor have I given up my position. I am for the glory of the kingdom and for the continuation of mortal civilization..."

The most taboo is that I made up some screenwriting and literature knowledge in those two days, and I was a little bit hit by orz
