All the contract girls want to marry me

Faced with such conditions, a normal person would have jumped with joy, but Matthew did not.

His thinking is very clear.

He had to figure out why Shallan did what he did.

Looking at Matthew's determined gaze, Shallan knew that a reasonable explanation must be given.

He could only sigh and said softly: "If there is anyone in my country, I won't beg you. But now I can only take a gamble."

This sentence is not an answer, but it is better than an answer.

There is no one in the Sharan Empire.

They have a population of hundreds of millions, millions of elite soldiers, thousands of good generals, and capable ministers and generals who are enough to support the country.

But the excellence of these people belongs to this world.

But Matthew is different. His achievements in the past eight short years can only be compared to the young people who have risen in the divine world.

Shallan vaguely felt that maybe the glimmer of hope for the mass extinction lay with Matthew.

He comes from the divine realm and can see many things that others cannot.

Like fate.

Generally, if a person is lucky, his body will emit a golden light; if he is unlucky, his body will emit a black light.

But Matthew was different. There was light above his head, but it was colorful light.

Shallan couldn't explain the meaning of the colorful light, but he knew it was anything but ordinary.

Matthew and Shallan were quick to act and took action as soon as an agreement was reached.

Shallan's identity is too special, and it is impossible for him to personally lead the team to go on an expedition with Matthew.

He chose to station himself at the border of the Sharan Empire and the Clare Empire to provide support at any time.

He handed over his high-level internal guards to Matthew and asked them to assist Matthew in fighting.

Shallan's inner guard is an alchemy puppet, made with the latest alchemy technology in the God Realm, and its combat power is equivalent to the fifth or sixth level of super level.

They are not afraid of death and have no pain. They are the best choice to be cannon fodder and human shields at critical moments.

Shallan handed these four [Inner Guards] to Matthew and had no intention of taking them back.

Shalan really had a good idea to win Matthew's favor without having to be personally involved in danger.

Matthew knew the old guy was cunning, but didn't care.

After all, Shallan is an old fox who has ruled the empire for more than 1000 years. This kind of person is very realistic. He is naturally willing to receive Matthew when he brings benefits.

If Matthew had no strength and lost his territory and came to ask for asylum, then Shallan would probably tie Matthew up and send him out.

This is politics.

No matter how glamorous the packaging is, it's all a dirty business.

Matthew took Kalainen and others to sneak into the vicinity of the imperial capital.

He has been worried about one thing.

After all, the Imperial Capital is a super city with a population of hundreds of people, and people come and go every day. How on earth did the enemy control Wendy and others without any news leaking out?

Wendy and the others, what's going on now?

Matthew was anxious, but he knew not to rush.

In a small city only thirty kilometers away from the imperial capital, Matthew, Kalainen, and Wen Leiya disguised themselves as vendors and wives and came quietly.

This small town was very peaceful, so quiet that Matthew felt a little flustered.

He walked on the streets of the small town and didn't see a single pedestrian.

Although there are only more than 3000 people in this city, it is not empty at noon.

Matthew approached a restaurant calmly. There couldn't be anyone here, right?

Just when he was about to knock on the door, the restaurant door slowly opened, and a green and black hand stretched out.

It was obvious that these were dead men's hands.

Dead people can actually move?

Matthew's heart beat wildly, and he knew something was serious.

Chapter 302 Dark Sky

Matthew easily controlled the outstretched hand. He didn't know the owner of this hand, but he knew what it was.

Raise the dead!

Matthew's face became a little ugly, and he instantly understood why the whole town was so deserted.

A chill rose up from behind, making his entire spine feel chilly.

Being able to kill all the residents of a town near the Imperial Capital and summon the undead, such brutal behavior was not sanctioned, which shows that the Imperial Capital is completely out of control.

There are not many people in the town, and not many undead are produced. These weak undead are nothing in front of Matthew.

Kalainen was outside to show off, while Matthew and Wen Leiya took action personally and quickly solved the problem.

It was easy to deal with these resurrected dead and zombies, but the meaning behind these dead people made Matthew frown.

Most people are naturally helpless when faced with this situation, but Matthew is proficient in soul magic and can communicate with these unjust dead people.

Matthew sang a requiem to rest the souls of the town's residents.

He then awakens the spirits of the town's Sheriff and Mayor and interrogates them about the situation.

Through the recollections of these officials, Matthew roughly understood what happened.

Obviously, this is a long-planned undead natural disaster.

According to the officials' recollections, their last memory was last night.

Late last night, someone heard a strange noise coming from the street. When they got up to check, they found that the street was full of people.

These people had dull eyes and acted strangely. There were even young girls who came out in their pajamas.

The last time an undead attack occurred in human territory dates back to the chaotic period after the destruction of the Church of Light. Of course, the town officials did not expect that it was the undead.

The enthusiastic mayor took the sheriff and security guards to the streets and persuaded everyone to go back and rest.

The mayor wanted to help the residents in his jurisdiction, but he didn't expect that these residents were already undead.

The mayor and security officers were stabbed through their bodies with sharp knives from behind and died with their eyes open.

The mayor's last memory was of the rising dead.

Disaster struck suddenly.

The wandering resurrected people could not recognize the identity of the main attackers. They only remembered that they were completely wrapped in black robes, and their appearance could not be seen clearly.

This was a planned attack.

It's not just the undead attack itself that worries Matthew, but also the location where it occurs.

If this kind of thing can happen near the imperial capital, the Hoffenhage family must be involved.

Matthew quickly returned to the hiding spot and joined the others.

After sharing the information, everyone fell silent.

Shirley stood up, cast her alert gaze in the direction of the Imperial Capital, her nose twitched slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"I feel the smell of the undead. Damn it, the scope of the undead may be much larger than we imagined."

Everyone turned their attention to the imperial capital and were shocked.

After a long time, Andrenee said angrily: "Is this idiot Jessica crazy?"

"Does he think these undead souls can be controlled by him?"

"I'm going to kill this idiot with my own hands!"

Matthew shook his head and said softly: "Kill with one knife? This is too cheap for him. Leave it to me. No one is better than me in how to deal with souls."

Andrenee didn't insist.

If you want to torture someone, Matthew is indeed the best person to do it.

The body can escape punishment, but what about the soul?

Jessica must die.

No matter how legitimate his reasons are, turning the original internal struggle of mankind into a war between humans and the undead is an unforgivable sin.

Because the existing intelligence was too little to determine the enemy's situation, Matthew and others could only split up again and collect intelligence from the surrounding areas.

An hour later, everyone returned to the hiding place from all directions to exchange information.

Everyone's expressions were a little solemn.

The situation was far worse than they imagined.

Traces of the undead army appeared in several directions outside the imperial capital.

Worse than this, a terrifying dark sky shrouded the sky over the imperial capital.

The Dark Sky is a magic invented by the undead monarch Rodrigo. The biggest function of this magic is to hide the aura of the undead army.

Although there are ghost dragons, skeletal dragons, ghost witches, vampire counts and other entities with air combat capabilities in the undead army, their air combat capabilities are not very strong.

Not to mention compared to aerial combat masters such as the Winged Humans and Dragons, even compared to human magicians, they are at a disadvantage.

In order to make up for this shortcoming, Rodrigo improved and fused several magics and invented the Dark Sky Magic.

This magic itself has no offensive power, but it can well disguise the traces of the undead army.

Under the shroud of the dark sky, the place occupied by the undead army will become a place of camouflage.

Viewed from the air, the land shrouded by the dark sky is no different from before.

But when you walk in from the ground, you will find clues.

Once the undead army takes shape, it can continue to snowball, acquiring more corpses and skeletons by killing humans, and eventually becomes unstoppable.

This is an existence that is so powerful that it is almost impossible to resist, but the undead army is not invincible, and it takes a lot of time to accumulate enough scale.

The Dark Sky is a magic that buys time for the undead army to take shape.

Under the cover of the dark sky, people outside could not see what was happening inside, and the news inside could not be transmitted to the outside.

The dark sky enveloped the imperial capital, turning this populous city into a slaughterhouse.

All living people are raw materials for making ribs.

Seeing this magic, Matthew's heart went cold.

He banished the illusion from his mind.

He had no choice but to fight to the end.

Fortunately, he could check from the system that Wendy, Diana and Yurishia were still alive, so he finally had some thoughts.

The Holy See has been operating in the imperial capital for many years, and no matter how bad the situation is, it has the ability to protect itself.

They are just affected by the dark sky and cannot contact the outside world.

We must seize the time and get through contact before the Holy See falls!

Matthew thought for a moment and made an immediate decision.

This is not a personal grudge between him and the Hoffenhager family, this is a war related to the life and death of the entire human race.

He wrote a battle message as quickly as possible and asked Andrenee to contact the Dawson Chamber of Commerce to inform Gondwana and Titan Continent of what happened in the imperial capital, and inform all countries.

This message is not difficult to write.

Just slightly modify the message written by the Holy See when it attacked Rodrigo hundreds of years ago.

After the notice was sent, Matthew was not idle. He met with the contractors and found a path to the small solitary peak outside the imperial capital, looking for a place to observe the imperial capital up close.

Thinking of the last time he and Wendy watched the imperial capital point out the past at Little Lone Peak, Matthew felt somewhat heavy.

Because Urd fell into a deep sleep, the system's functions were rapidly degrading.
