Around the undead of Count Roy, the “Fifth Stick Spirit”, there are many undead monsters circling around – there are the undead human-faced demon birds who had previously captured Duke Amberli, and many undead water ghosts with agility and flexible movements.
The number of these monsters is not large, and they are only a few dozen of them together – but they are enough to defeat the guards guarding at the entrance of the castle. Now, all the high-level nobles of the Nigad Expedition Army are surrounded.
“You, you–“
Marquis Tyriel’s old face turned pale in an instant, and he pointed at the soul of Roy in the air with a trembling hand, trying to say something, but he didn’t say it.
Apart from the fact that the whole body turned into a dark blue spirit body, Count Roy looked exactly the same outfit as he had when he left in anger. Now Count Roy pointed outside the high wall of the castle, turned his head slightly, and said, “Listen—”
These high-level nobles listened tremblingly to the direction outside the high wall…
You can hear the noise and footsteps outside, and a large number of soldiers were shouting to retreat – passing through the castle in the center of the town, fleeing towards another small town without the dead.
“Actually, the undead army commanded by the Duke of Ambery had just attacked the town-but, except for a small number of your followers, no one thought of coming in to find you, and you were abandoned by the soldiers.”
Fifth Stick Lingroy looked at a group of former noble colleagues with gritted teeth and said hatefully: “Just like you refused to lend a helping hand to me, the only difference is that I still have a chance to avenge you, but your fate is to die in pain!”
How Earl Roy became the “Fifth Stick Spirit” under Zhao Li’s command is a very simple story.
In order to save his son and followers who were intercepted by Zhao Li and the undead army, Earl Roy was quite tough after failing to ask Marquis Tyriel for help. He directly took the last dozen guards around him and killed them back.
Although Count Roy is a tough guy, reality is not as written in the Knight’s novel – he brought dozens of guards alone, fought a bloody path among the thousands of undead troops, and brought back his sons and followers.
The actual situation is that the counterattack of Count Roy with dozens of his guards did not even arouse a small splash. Instead, Zhao Li was curious about what kind of fool he was to fall into the trap at this time.
With such curiosity, Zhao Li personally took the result of Earl Roy with the hammering sadness. Then, when checking the fool’s memory, he found that until the moment of his death, the person he hated the most was not him, the black wizard of the undead – but the Nigad nobles who refused to lend a helping hand.
Since the noble master hated him the most was not him, Zhao Li summoned Count Roy from the grief of Hammer to try to recruit him – according to the original plan, after understanding why this fool had to fall into the trap, Zhao Li planned to feed him.
The result was that the Earl Roy agreed to Zhao Li’s recruitment at once. As long as he could get revenge, this guy was willing to do anything. And to some extent, he achieved his goal of falling into the trap – looking for his son and followers, and successfully returning to the team with them.
Yes, except for a few of the more than a thousand Nigads stopped by Zhao Li and the undead army, all the others gloriously joined the “Scourge Legion” – this is the body, and as for their souls, they became the food to make the stick spirits stronger.
Now the number of the undead army has far exceeded the number of the remaining Nigad expeditionary army. At the same time, they are all fearless and unable to kill without being cut off their heads. They are simply the most difficult army.
“No, Roy, we are good friends, aren’t we? Please let me go, I will take care of your family after I go back to Nigad-“
