Chapter 952: Chapter 597, Soul Coffin
The Corpse Witch and funeral priests were all rendered sowhat speechless.
In the ranks of the Undead, the Corpse Witch represented scholars, masters of the secrets of immortality.
In any Undead power, Corpse Witches were respected and treated with preference.
This was still the first ti an Undead had said that these people were not smart.
“Queen Your Majesty, you have been missing for a hundred years without any news, how could you possibly suddenly appear now, and under the na of the Blood Clan, attack the Great Cetery,” Arlene asked directly.
This all happened so suddenly.
...
It made everyone sowhat reluctant to accept it.
In the beginning when Amanda disappeared,
the entire nation’s resources were mobilized to search for the Queen’s whereabouts, but they always ca up empty.
That eventually led to Odys ascending the throne.
After so many years, soone sneaks into the city claiming to be sent by the Queen.
Compared to believing that the Queen has suddenly appeared, it feels more like an enemy’s conspiracy.
atfist pondered for a mont and explained, “Amanda woke up a few months ago and, learning that the forr ‘Anglina Kingdom’ was no more, took the opportunity of Odys attacking the Federation, and launched this war.”
When Amanda had him co, the first task was to go to the Viscera Museum.
If there was a Corpse Witch nad ‘Arlene’ inside, then he was to tell him about his army’s movent.
If there was no such person, or if Arlene showed non-cooperation,
atfist was to cleanse the place of everyone inside and destroy the Viscera jars in the museum.
To weaken the defending army’s power.
So, atfist’s mission was the Viscera Museum, and Arlene was just part of it.
Believing or not believing has no impact on the outco.
Hearing the explanation from the towering Troll hero opposite him, Arlene fell silent.
He still harbored doubts, but there was no point in the other party coming in just to deceive him.
After a mont, he continued, “If what you say is true, does that an that the troops currently besieging the city are not the Blood Clan, but Queen Amanda’s army?”
If it had been the Queen’s army, then many Undead would be spared death in today’s battle.
Even within the city, many Undead would welco the return of the Queen.
atfist shook his head and corrected, “Now Amanda is just a hero general under the lord, her troops are the lord’s as well; but you’re right about one thing, Amanda is the commander of the army, and this is indeed a war of restoration.”
The Corpse Witch and funeral priests were digesting the information in that statent.
So, the Queen had joined forces with a lord for the sake of restoration, borrowing his troops to reclaim ‘Anglina Kingdom.’
That would an that even if Black Horn City fell, it wouldn’t be the kingdom it once was.
Instead, it would beco part of that lord’s territory.
After a while, Arlene continued to ask, “So you’ve co here, was it the Queen who sent you for ?”
“Finding you is part of it, of course, we have other tasks as well,” atfist said.
Amanda couldn’t confirm which of her old subjects still lived, but she could be sure that as a Corpse Witch, Arlene would definitely still be in the Viscera Museum.
A Corpse Witch is indispensable to an Undead power.
Even if Odys were again insane, he wouldn’t kill a Corpse Witch.
So, atfist’s first step was to find Arlene.
Arlene and the Corpse Witches behind him had a quiet discussion,
then turned around and asked, “What do you need us to do?”
atfist said, “First, take out all the ‘Viscera jars’ from the museum.”
“Once the Viscera jars are taken out, the army’s power in the city will instantly wane, and Odys will know there’s a problem here the first thing and send troops over. None of us will be able to get away,” Arlene imdiately said.
“No matter, once they are taken out, we’ll leave this place and a safe location will be arranged for you,” atfist spoke.
Arlene had no other choice but to do as the towering Undead Troll before him had said.
Even if he did not, the Undead before him would have ways to directly destroy this place, and render the effects of the Viscera jars null.
Approaching each miniature structure, he extended a bony finger and gave a slight twist.
Hisss~!
The Viscera jars in the grooves rose up one by one.
As the Viscera jars were removed, rings of light rapidly closed and returned to the bodies of the Viscera jars.
In that mont, the effects of the Viscera jars on the Great Cetery’s troops disappeared.
Seeing that the other party was sowhat honest, atfist said, “Let’s go, we’ll go out.”
Leading the Corpse Witches and funeral priests holding the Viscera jars, they exited the gate.
Several hundred soldiers also erged from a concealed spot nearby.
Once the gathering of Undead was complete,
they led the Corpse Witches back to the Royal Palace’s backyard, at the entrance of the sewer.
“Arlene, arrange for soone to guide , and the rest will stay here and not wander off,” atfist instructed.
“Ah, okay,” Arlene nodded and chose a funeral priest to lead the way.
Arlene and the others, holding the Viscera jars, followed the staircase down into the sewer.
After they had gone down,
atfist waved his hand, “Let’s go, to the armory.”
At the sa ti.
The south city gate was also in turmoil.
Densely packed were many Undead.
Large and small bundles were blocked on the street, in chaos and crowdedness.
Among them, so forr Undead officials were also mixed in the crowd.
Everyone was well aware that the enemy outside was on the verge of breaching the city, and the south gate was their only way out.
