Chapter 371 Familiar Faces

At noon two days later, Bamblore once again ushered in a group of unexpected guests.

A remnant army under the command of Earl Kemal broke through the encirclement and suppression of the undead army. At the same time, they kept gathering the surviving troops of the Sixth Army on the road and fled all the way.

El felt quite familiar with the banner of this army, and he only realized it when he saw the strange appearance of those soldiers who obviously did not belong to humans. The demonized army.

Although Earl Kemal is a southern nobleman, he has been able to fight openly and covertly with the White Lion family for so many years, so it has to be said that he has some skills.Out of fear of the northern warlords, the southern nobles chose to turn a blind eye to the demon blood of the Kemal family. Until now, not many people may remember that this family was once a demon cultist that was as dangerous as the sect of the curse.

In order to avoid the intuitive conflict with Earl Kemal, El and Tiana had to choose the remote route of brown earth hills, and suffered a lot along the way.But it was a blessing in disguise, and soon after they left, Earl Kemal had to face a more terrifying enemy.

Perhaps other southern nobles would be bewitched by the cursed sect's rhetoric and indulge in hypocritical lies, but Earl Kemal immediately began to prepare for war.Also, his buttocks were not very clean, he knew very well what kind of bastards the Cult of the Damned was, and he never had any illusions about them.

The fiefdom of the Kemal family can be traced back to the founding of the country. In terms of background, it is definitely deeper than the northern warlords who only came out 300 years ago.In the case of preparation, its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.Earl Kemal insisted on arming Sharin Province into a steel hedgehog, stabbing the invading undead troops with blood all over their mouths.

With just one province, Earl Kemal actually held up the vanguard of the undead army for a whole month, which surprised and cheered the entire southern faction, and even the royal family was already discussing whether to grant him the " "Grand Duke" title to demonstrate his unparalleled bravery.

Of course, there are other factors involved, such as the ambiguous relationship between the Cult of the Damned and the southern nobles, as well as the undead army's rash war with the landwalkers, which caused heavy casualties, and was then dragged back by the undead of Istaren.But at least on the bright side, Earl Kemal has indeed made undoubted contributions.

Unfortunately, this advantageous situation did not last forever.

Just as the exiles from Istaron passed through the brown earth hills, due to the passive response of the Oakland royal family, the plague and natural disasters that had been freed from the shackles broke out in a large area throughout the northern region.During this month, the army of undead accumulated enough strength to break through the capital of Shalin province in one fell swoop while the sword castle fell.It is said that a gold-level existence appeared in that war. Earl Kemal died on the spot, and the family's elite knights commanded by him also disappeared.

When El saw Master Dreyer again, the latter had no image at all.The two bat wings growing from his back were as fragmented as a rag that had wiped the table for ten years.His body was almost broken in the middle, and he survived only by relying on the tenacious vitality of the devil's blood. He has not fully recovered yet, and the broken internal organs in his body can almost be seen through the broken ribs.One of the two demons on the top of the head was broken, blood and tears flowed from both eyes, and almost lost all vision, so he could only tie himself to the horse and struggle to escape.

As the heir of the Kemal family, Dreyer made himself look like this. One can imagine how miserable the soldiers who protected him from the siege were.In short, the people El saw were the surviving troops at best, and the "living dead" at worst. They were almost the same as the dead except that they could breathe.

Surprisingly or unexpectedly, the other two guys who were also acquaintances survived.The chubby Viscount Romer Chico was miraculously unscathed, and the betrayer of the Locke family, Michelon, showed the tenacity and unyieldingness of the demon blood.Even the brains of this guy were beaten out back then, and he is still alive and kicking now, but his original human appearance can hardly be seen, and he looks more like a real demon.

El originally wanted to ask the priest accompanying the army to come over to help, but suddenly realized that something was wrong. It was already the limit for these people to last as long as they were neither human nor ghost. Was exalted and ascended to heaven.

It was Ron who was well-informed and experienced, so he asked someone to collect more than a dozen fat pigs, cattle and sheep from the town, washed them casually, and sent them here.Dreyer jumped off the horse and fell to the ground with a plop, unable to get up for a long time.Michelon, who was following behind him, grabbed a ram, broke its neck, cut open the artery with his fingernails, and sprinkled the warm blood of the ram into Dreyer's mouth.

After drinking a few mouthfuls of blood, Dreyer finally regained some strength, snatched the sheep from Michelon, put it to his mouth, bit off the neck, and chewed desperately.

Michallon shook his head and waved his hands behind him. Other demonized soldiers rushed forward impatiently, tearing apart these fat pigs, cattle and sheep alive, devouring fresh flesh and blood.

Romer moved his feet carefully and walked past the eating demon, came to El and said with a smile: "General El, it is our luck to meet you here. In the past, Master Dreyer was young and energetic, It is inevitable for everyone to have some misunderstandings, but I believe that if you are as magnanimous as you, you should not take those trivial misunderstandings to heart... Since we escaped, we have not stopped for a long time. In the eyes of the gods For the sake, can you give me a normal person's food?"

"I thought you also had demon blood." El said half-jokingly, looking at Romer's obviously overweight belly.

"This has nothing to do with blood. It's just that when I'm in good health, I prefer to eat some cooked food that can keep me healthy. Although I know this kind of request is presumptuous, I believe you can understand." Romer took a picture He patted his belly and said with a smile on his face.

"You're right, it's nothing to worry about." El nodded and told his soldiers to go back to prepare, then turned his head and asked with great interest, "The question I'm more concerned about now is, how did you get beaten up like this?"

It's okay if he doesn't ask, as soon as he said this, Dryden, who threw himself on the ground and tore the mutton, burst into tears.He raised his head and swallowed the flesh stuck in his throat, got up and stared at El and shouted loudly: "Lend me your army! I want to go back and save people!"

"Are you still out of your mind?" El pouted and asked back.

"Lend me a cavalry, and I will work for you when I come back!" Dreyer grabbed El by the collar, roared with red eyes, and then he was kicked out by El.

"Your young master needs to rest." El rubbed the blood on his collar with the back of his hand, frowned and said to Romer: "Where did we talk? How did you do this? As far as I know, Earl Kemal The hidden strength is more than that, right? Don’t talk nonsense, I have been to Dimiente and know the details of your family.”

Romer looked at El in horror, the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely, he licked his plump lips and smiled wryly: "It's not a secret at all, but I didn't expect you to have been to that forbidden place...Indeed, Kai The strength of the Moll family is more than that, but our enemies are even more insane. The Cult of the Damned awakened the remains of an ancient frost dragon in the extreme north, and destroyed all our defense lines without any effort."

"Ancient Frost Dragon?" El frowned tightly. In his impression, any existence with the imprint of the age like "wild" and "ancient", no matter what it is, is so powerful that mortals incomprehensible level.He suddenly began to worry about the undead girl who stayed in that city, and he didn't know if the dragon would target that dead city.

El's gloomy face misunderstood Romer, and the fat man wiped the cold sweat off his face and hurriedly said, "You don't have to worry too much, if the Sect of the Damned can really drive that bone dragon, we won't be able to escape. It is wishful thinking for them to enslave the giant dragon as a mortal, let alone a powerful existence in ancient times. There may be a Lord of Death intervening behind this, but the gift of that person is not something that can be abused at will."

"This stock is considered good news." El shrugged helplessly. Any behavior that places hope on the weakness of the enemy has uncontrollable risks, which he believes the fat man knows very well.But now they can only use this self-deception to comfort each other.

"Okay, let's move on to the next question. What's the matter with your young master? No matter how I look at him, he doesn't look like a person who talks about feelings." El glanced at Dreyer who was glaring at him, and still asked Romer asked.

"We escorted the young master and miss all the way out, and we were exhausted when we got here. We didn't expect to meet another army of the Cursed Sect halfway." Romer sighed and said: "Their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the regular army." So strong, but relying on the large number of people to break up our team, the young lady also unfortunately lost. If she hasn't arrived here yet, I'm afraid..."

"Shut up!" Dreyer suddenly shouted: "That cunning girl can't die so easily, she must have lost her way and didn't find the right way. Come back with me when you are full, and you must find her !"

"This touching scene really makes people cry." El said with a disapproving expression on his face, he looked at the emotional Dreyer and sneered: "But this kind of words come from a devil Why does it sound so awkward when you say it out of your mouth?"

Dreyer took a deep breath, and suddenly stretched out the broken bat wings and rushed towards El.
