Overlord, I don't want to be the Holy Queen's Great Sword

Chapter 155 She won't keep watching.

"Hey, hey, hey, Bandero, is your plan going to work? My brother and his men killed all the zombies you asked the Death Knight to gather."

"Are you sure your ritual can succeed? Don't wait till the end... Let the leader find someone else to help me escape from the Silian Theocracy!"

The great wizard of the dead named Bandello heard a burst of sneer in his ears. He knew that this was a trick often used by Clementine. She liked to use words to stir a person's mood and then watch the other person slowly be controlled by her.

But unfortunately she used it in the wrong place.

"Clementine, if you think you can anger me with just these few words, then you are making a wrong calculation."

"We the undead have completely shed those useless emotions we had as humans."

"Clementine, if you say these words now, it will only make me feel your stupidity."

Bandero said proudly.

As one of the twelve disciples of Zhilanon, he was naturally a human being in the past. However, the moment he used the ritual of the spiral of death passed down by the leader to try to transform into an undead, the former Bandero had already died completely.

Because the spiral of death itself is actually a ritual used by the undead to strengthen themselves and evolve into higher-level dark night undead. It is used to transform themselves into undead, and it is more likely to cause their will to be overwhelmed by the large amount of accumulated negative energy.

This is how Bandero died in the first place, but the former Bandero died, and he, the new Bandero, was born from that corpse full of negative energy!

Of course, Bandero would not admit this now. In his opinion, he had just gone through a new round of evolution and cast away those useless emotions.

He even wanted to recruit a few more colleagues from Zhilanong.

Just as he was treated in the beginning.

He even wanted to study the reasons why the undead were angry and hated the living, eliminate his own feelings, and then only be left with the eternal pursuit of magic.

Ah, what a wonderful thing it would be without the influence of the complicated emotions of mortals!

At least not like that woman.

Just as Bandello secretly despised Clementine who was far away on the other side, Clementine didn't care about Bandello's words at all, and even had time to change her tone and sarcastically said so.

"But my dear old man, the Death Knight you were hoping for has now lost all his followers. Where can you find so many people to convert into zombies for you?"

"Are you still hoping to lure the Death Knights to the vicinity of the Silian Theocracy?"

For a moment, Bandello even heard Clementine sneer over there.

"None of those Skeleton Mages who suddenly came to your rescue just now have returned. My brother and the others are now more convinced of your existence."

"If you attack the Silian Theocracy now... aren't you afraid that my brother and his men will find you?"

"Or... why don't you know that there are people stronger than us near the border of the Church?"

Clementine's continuous ridicule made Bandero frown. After a moment of silence, he explained confidently.

"Don't worry, I have ways to deal with these things."

What he didn't tell Clementine was that because he couldn't fully control the Death Knight, he had already placed a special magic item inside the Death Knight's body.

He imitated that magic item based on a being that could store negative energy that he saw in a cemetery when he was young, which was also the reason why he specifically used the Death Knight.

After years of studying the undead, he felt that he had discovered the evolutionary logic of the Death Knight.

This is like a spiral of death. The more undead there are, the stronger the undead produced will be.

The only difference from an ordinary death spiral is that since the undead gathered around the Death Knight are in a sense his servants, the appearance of this powerful undead is not random, but is targeted at the Death Knight.

Those strong ones who should have turned into rare or scarce undead after death were forced to be weakened into ordinary zombies because of this reason of the Death Knight. Only the first few zombies killed by the Death Knight had unprecedented strength.

The entire zombie tide has an unprecedented pyramid structure. When the upper level is full, the zombies in the lower level will always be a group of trash that can't even reach Lv.1.

If his research was correct, the magic item he placed in the Death Knight's chest had already gathered unprecedented negative energy.

But this cannot be told to Clementine.

Because in his opinion, the reason this woman was able to join Zhilanon was entirely because the leader needed the information about the Church that she had.

After all, most of Zhilanon's territory is in the Katz Plains. The leader is said to be a member of another large organization and has other territories in other places, but there are not many wonders like the Katz Plains that are beneficial to the undead.

In order to keep this place, they must be on guard against the surrounding countries. Clementine learned about their organization during an accidental battle and then said she wanted to join.

Their only goal was to escape the control of the Silan Theocracy, not to pursue magic or immortality like the others in Zhilanon.

So if they told Clementine these things, given that woman's vicious nature, their ceremony might be ruined.

But in order to appease Clementine, Bandello hesitated and continued.

"Don't worry. What the Death Knight needs now is stronger survivors. Only in this way can he trade quality for quantity, not only making himself more difficult to deal with, but also advancing to a higher position."

"The group of adventurers I trapped in the No. 1 Folding Tower were a good group of sacrifices, but they also had a fifth-rank priest there, which made them difficult to deal with."

"So what do you want to do?"

"There are quite a few injured among that group of adventurers. With such a big problem happening in the Katze Plains this time, they will definitely leave a large group of them to take care of the injured adventurers and send some back to report the news."

"I will have some undead on the Katz Plains dissipate the magic power of the priest, control the remaining people so that they will not leave, and send the messenger back."

"Given the character of those people in the temple, they will definitely send people to support us at this time."

"During this period of time, I need you to take those people from the Theocracy to delay the surrounding area for a while. I will lead the Death Knights to kill those adventurers and human laborers."

"What a trouble, old man."

"We might as well try another approach."

Clementine looked at the backs of her two brothers in the distance. She seemed bored, but in fact she was talking in a low voice with an inexplicable joy in her eyes.

"How about you go gather your forces on the Katz Plains and we go kill my brother and the others?"

For a moment, Clementine's crazy tone made Bandero silent.

But I have to say, he was moved.

However, just as Bandello's mind was wandering, Clementine couldn't help but look at the ground.

No, or rather, she was not looking at the ground, but was looking at the sky behind her with the help of the bones on the ground.

Although she couldn't see anything on it with the help of the reflection of the bones, Clementine was very clear that during their operation, Astrology Qianli must have used magic to observe the situation on the battlefield from time to time.

only……

She won't keep watching.

Chapter 156: Hoax (Happy New Year)

"Everyone, let's go one by one. I will use teleportation magic to send those who are seriously injured back first, and we will treat the injuries of the remaining adventurers. Then, let's see if we can disperse and leave here as soon as possible."

Karko said this while waving the silver spear in his hand. At this time, most of the adventurers in the tower gathered on the first floor and watched Karko use teleportation magic to send away several seriously injured people first.

The original group of dozens of adventurers was instantly reduced to half after three releases of teleportation magic.

The rest of the people had basically recovered from their injuries under Kuirat's treatment, and they could be back to full health immediately after a short rest.

In the adventurer team, several adventurers with orichalcum metal plates around their necks looked at each other, and finally chose to step out as the representative of the adventurers.

One of them, a middle-aged man who looked quite strong, walked over slowly and asked with some concern.

"Ms. Karko, I cannot repay you for saving my life this time, but are you sure you don't need us to stay and help?"

As the middle-aged man spoke, he couldn't help but look at the team that Karko was in. Although the metal nameplates of these people were platinum level, he could feel that among the group of young people in front of him, there seemed to be only one person who was at the normal level of a warrior, and the rest were almost much stronger than him just by looking at their aura.

"Although I can feel that your team is very strong, Ms. Karko, if a large number of undead controlled by the Death Knights rush forward, even if you are strong, I am afraid that accidents will inevitably occur!"

"Why don't we, the old guys, stay here and help you, young lady?"

The middle-aged man said sincerely that he was truly grateful and that’s how he came to this realization.

Or perhaps it could be said that most of the adventurers present were such people.

Anyone who can survive on Katz Plains knows one thing very well: teamwork.

But facing everyone's inquiring gazes, Karl just waved his hand gently.

"No, no, everyone, you have more urgent tasks."

"In fact, your attack by the Death Knight this time was not just an accident. Someone did it on purpose."

"Oh, that's not right."

It seemed like something was wrong, and Karl immediately shook his head to correct it.

"Or maybe a higher-level undead did it on purpose. Of course, this is just my guess."

"what?"

"How can this be?"

For a moment, exclamations continued to be heard from the crowd.

You know, the Death Knight is a legend in the Katze Plains. If he could fly, there is no doubt that he would become the overlord of the Katze Plains.

A Death Knight only appears once every hundred years. This is no joke.

For these adventurers, this existence is almost legendary, but now it is being controlled by someone?

This was enough to shock everyone present.

"Ms. Karko, you..."

The middle-aged man asked the question subconsciously and instinctively, but he was interrupted by Karl’s affirmative tone before he finished speaking.

"In fact, we were attacked by a man wearing a pitch-black cloak in the fog before."

"At that time, I felt the presence of two strong men and the Death Knight behind the other party."

"Due to special circumstances, I used teleportation magic to return to the No. 1 folding tower. I didn't expect to find that the folding tower was attacked by the undead again."

"But this is not the most important issue, everyone."

Karl's eyes slowly swept over the crowd, his gaze particularly deep.

For a moment, many adventurers in the tower held their breath and waited for Karko's next words.

"More importantly, I noticed that the four bone dragons that attacked the tower were all controlled by someone."

"Everyone, you can think about it. First, the Death Knight appeared in the Katz Plains. He killed so many innocent people from nowhere and turned them into undead. Then, these bone dragons besieged you in the tower."

"Everyone, think about it carefully. What is the other party waiting for?"

"I think with four skull dragons attacking the tower together, this shaky building won't hold out for long!"

Karl said this calmly, and many adventurers present at this moment looked bewildered.

Then they recalled the previous battles, and all the places that they once felt were strange were slowly revealed one by one.

The expressions of everyone present changed.

Karlko said while the iron was hot.

"And I happen to have some guesses as to why the other party has trapped you all."

"I think you have noticed that when I found the Death Knight, there were a large number of Undead around him, and the Death Knight himself was also searching for traces of the living as much as possible."

"And I happen to know one thing. When a Death Knight gathers enough dead, he will become an even more terrifying Undead."

"So if you want to help us, the best way is for you to leave here safely, return to the free city of Vardis and tell the news here to the temple, or even the kingdom and the empire."

"Only in this way can we prevent the other party from becoming stronger as much as possible, and it is also the best help for us."

"Before that, my team and I will be responsible for investigating the situation in the Katz Plains. I also know teleportation magic, so my team and I are the most suitable candidates."

As he spoke, Karko looked around, and his cold voice echoed in everyone's ears.

Everyone on the field fell into silence.

After a long time, the middle-aged man let out a long sigh and stroked his chest in a gentlemanly manner.

"In that case, Miss Karko, we will return to Vadis as soon as possible to find assistance for you."

"But before we leave, I hope you can accept these foods. In addition, we will help you reinforce the No. 1 Folding Tower as much as possible. This will become a safe refuge for you."

Hearing this request, Karl did not refuse, but nodded slightly.

"please!"
