Chapter 566: Stingham’s Improvemen (1/2)
t
In an abyss somewhere.
The entire mountain was hollowed out. The remnants were carved into passages, bridges and a castle.
No light reached down here. The worn down and vine infested castle was the Spectre Castle that had been sealed for a thousand years and slept in darkness. There were only invisible spectres living inside.
Two Evil Dragon Bishops walked along a passage towards the Spectre Castle.
One of them was a white-robed woman releasing a holy glow. She was the Divine Priestess who made an appearance in the Green Dragon Divine Temple.
The other was someone who had not shown up in any of the Doa Royal Palace battles. His face was filled with purplish black Demonic Dragon Tattoos.
Boom!
The moment they got near the worn down castle, it suddenly let out a loud noise.
A grey silhouette scattered about in the darkness. Nobody could identify it or sense the exact location of the silhouette.
An extremely evil and powerful aura instantly shrouded the entire Spectre Castle.
The withered-looking vines rapidly grew on the cracked walls and pillars, then bloomed bewitching black flowers.
“Coffin Master Bishop!”
The two Evil Dragon Bishops fell to their knees to show their respect and obedience.
A sonorous voice rang out, “I sense the death of Besche in the Eternal Winter Forest. The Southern Border is about to be lost. You need to amass the army quickly and prepare to intercept the Kingdom of Eiche’s army!” The bewitching black flowers seemed to be burning with purplish black flames.
“Even the Ice Shaman Bishop Besche......” The tattooed Evil Dragon Bishop was instantly filled with shock.
“Are you showing fear? The army of Nine Houses in the Kingdom of Eiche will begin a ferocious attack against you soon. Useless fear will only cause your downfall!”
The sonorous voice rang again, “Don’t try to sow dissension amongst the Nine Houses. That will only cause you to lose more arcane masters. Activate our manpower in the Kingdom of Eiche and bring Baratheon’s Rinsyi here.”
“Lord Coffin Master Bishop, why shouldn’t we try to sow dissension? House Baratheon and a few other Houses are only a step from going to war against each other. And Rinsyi? Is he of any use?” The tattooed Evil Dragon Bishop asked as he could not comprehend the orders.
“Your incomprehension only means you have not lived long enough. The Nine Houses in the Kingdom of Eiche have paid an unimaginable price in doubting, making use of or deciding the enemies amongst one another. The price they paid made them show no hesitation when deciding matters. Even Baratheon would immediately become our enemy now. This is the experience of blood and tears, not just fear for being eliminated first as a traitor.”
The sonorous voice echoed in the Spectre Castle, “As for Rinsyi, he’s a vessel that received a mental backlash from an arcane skill and experienced resurrection, but only to be defeated again. Most believe he’s a trash that can only guard the gate like a hell hound. However, he’s the most suitable vessel for one of my forbidden skills.”
“But......” The tattooed Evil Dragon Bishop uncontrollably tightened his heart and could not form his words.
Even a godly existence like Besche was killed in the Eternal Winter Forest! Could the army they gathered really stop Kingdom of Eiche’s army?
“Do not doubt my methods to attain victory. Destruction is always simpler than construction.”
“We have countless methods to win. But they have to destroy all our methods in order to win.”
“Go, let the grand Spectre Army revive. Bring down the Frost Tusk Peak Stronghold!”
As the sonorous voice said these last words, pale blue glows came from the darkness.
A pale blue, ice crystal-like crown flew out from the darkness and floated before the two Evil Dragon Bishops.
“Spectre Queen Crown!”
Even the calm Holy Priestess showed astonishment.
......
Thorns Swamp.
Many simplified furnaces were erected. The large demihuman army was smelting metal to craft various crude weapons.
To demihumans, there was no concept of camp. They could easily fall asleep on dirty and muddy ground.
Not far from the demihuman army was the even larger monster army.
Some monsters drove more beasts into the army. Hence, the size of the army was only larger than during the attack on the Fearotz Stronghold.
However, regardless of the demihumans or monsters, they showed fear when looking at the cluster of darkness in front of the Fearotz Stronghold.
Those few people, especially that guy who killed the Bone Emperor, were way too devious.
They were stalling the skeleton army, which was so large it could easily slaughter all of them!
“Oi, Stingham, your actions are still unrefined. If you add a little shaking to your wrist, won’t you be able to swing your spear faster? Your spear tip can reach the spot quicker.”
