Chapter 128: The Northern Lands
“Quickly shut down valves 17 to 30! The 3rd engine is on fire, hurry up and evacuate all personnel in the vicinity Where is the firefighting squad? There’s no such squad? Forget it, get an ice spellcaster then There are no ice spellcasters too? What about Princess Reyne?”
“The C15-21 storage roo Where’s the maintenance tea water and fix it after everything else is stable Princess Reyne is in the engine rooht Elohihtmare is a Snowman that is only capable of physical battle, and is unable of freezing anything? You log-head, why are you so useless! Tie you and your Snow it up!”
“Where have all those darned engineers gone to? What? They’ve all gone to the bow to look at the newly-fitted ra horn? Isn’t that an ability of the shi+p? They aren’t capable ofat it? What?! They are looking at it because it is unscientific? That bunch of bastards! Prince Clint, please helpYou just have to stand beside them to make them run back here”
“Red alert What happened? What? Knight Elohiot swept away!? I was only co a co-head! Darn it, ask Tracy to pull that fool back up I am already busy as it is! To think he would add to my troubles!”
“Princess Reyne, please head to the control roo for you That … Lord Diana, I know that you were looking forward to having a great duel with the ene in the corridor, fully clothed for battle? We have already received several co their job”
“That Legend Beastmaster on the deck, the battle has already ended and your beast taet your ass back here!”
“I al love takes time! Also, can you blame me for this failure? Do you think you can convince soht, the voice of a certain man who could not be evaluated still loudly resounded even in the ht from the moment I landed on the deck Kelly and Harloys’s voice echoed fro or not Anyway, every one of theardless of hoell designed the Borealis was, and how incredible the theory behind it, this was still a new shi+p that had yet to be tested in a practical battle Further it a bit for the Borealis to face terful Sea Monsters in a prolonged battle for its maiden battle
It looked like I was overconfident in Envy It seemed that the Sea Monsters weren’t the only one forced into a corner
Practical battles were always the most effective verification platform The first probles and weaknesses of said platfor by the Horned Whale, regions that weren’t converted into Undead weren’t able to regenerate In addition, the energy tubes were proven to be too weak and ns were proven to be ineffective In short, all kinds of flaws started exposing themselves
“Envy,” as the soul of the warshi+p, was no different fro lives of the Undead, and it is still far fro the cannon bo the crew around sapped all of its energy while constant regeneration drained a large portion of itsproblems To make the evolution fro its flaws continuously so that they could be fixed over and over again Even so, it would all be for naught if it fell in the reat Hurry and help out at the port It’s still leaking over there”
I received a quest the moment I landed on the boat In response to that, I sirab me to be your laborer There are also two other old friends here awaiting your orders Fanderk is an Aurora Knight as well, you know On the other hand, Camisia may be a little slow th”
“Ah! Aren’t they … All right, I get it It has been long since we lastthe East Mist, I welco about the past Little Fanderk, please help us freeze those places where water is leaking Sir Camisia, please help adjust the sail on the deck”
“Big Sister Kelly!? Great, you’re fine!” Hearing that voice, Fanderk was slightly agitated However, he regained his cool quickly
“All right, we’ll do our best”
As the type whose actions spoke louder than words, Ca thefrom how motivated he looked, that “welcome your return” seemed to have made him very happy
That day, the tradenia of E, there was no way that the secret could be hidden any further Further Hounds carried then were the Mist War Flags Ruht Roland had been spreading in the upper echelons of hu period of time In the eyes of the wise, my identity had probably already been exposed
I did not doubt that there would be people ould ye, especially when the fact that I was an Undead Lich in my previous life had been exposed At the very least, Kelly is aware of it Of course, there were soe batch of trouble would arise if the East Mist were to be associated with Eye Since they’ve decided not to reveal the truth, it is best to leave it that way
Perhaps it is due to the camaraderie built in the midst of a crisis, or perhaps they had expected it to happen, but the two Undead Knights were swiftly accepted by the htly pushi+ng it
Ignoring the Gentle by the Undead, the knights of East Mist were initially stunned by the assistance of the Undead Knights However, upon realizing that they were their senior, heroic knights, their attitude changed
The initial estrange and the dead was resolved after Kelly and Reyna pulled the the tradeaze turned into one of reverence
The Knights could be found surrounding the two Undead Knights every day, asking for pointers Camisia and Fanderk also happily imparted their experiences and battle techniques to their juniors
Upon seeing such a sight, I heaved a slight sigh of relief After all, sending Undead into a country of living beings was a ga ith the other knights froood start
Of course, this also had so too busy with the prelude of the Sacred War If that wasn’t so, even if the national religion of East Mist was the absolutely fair God of Lahich was protected by Wumianzhe, I would have never considered such a preposterous cause for action
While the dwellers of the Underground World and people of East Mist were able to accept the two Knights, the reason why I said that “theit” was because of Aulanders
To doms, the East Mist Co at the borders Froes of the human society Furthermore, with the past incidents, their relationshi+p with the other countries and churches was bad Due to Diffindor turning into a Land of Death in history, though, and the Royal Knights exacting vengeance against their enehts, they did not view Undead with iven the position of the two as historical heroes of East Mist and the guarantee from the Mist royal family, it wasn’t hard to achieve harmonious coexistence
On the other hand, Auland was one of the huht up with the notion that Undead were evil and the ene Furthermore, the occurrence of the Undead Calao and the appearance of Xiluo Empire had increased the pressure on them The nuainst the on the sa locked in a cage with lions
This was theassociated with Undead was evil, and the Undead Emperor was the worst of the lot
Thus, the next day, I received over thirty coed their mind and decided to disembark from the shi+p
“Umm … why don’t we fly behind by ourselves? We were already very happy these few days After all, it is nor behind their cloaks, the two Knight volunteers asked to leave However, I shook my head to reject their proposal I had already expected this and my as resolute
“Take off your cloaks noant you both to be like you were in Liu Huang Mountain City, living proudly with your heads held high You two don’t owe this world or anyone anything On the contrary, it is this vile world that owes you all a debt”
My words h they don’t express their approval or disapproval of , afraid that their presence will cause a loophole in my plans
“Since we’ve already decided to tread on this path, there’s no longer a road of return Since we are intending to build a Liu Huang Mountain City on the Surface, so as to prevent the innocent fro discriminated or even punished due to their race and identity, we are destined to break away froht with dangers, and this stumble is just the appetizer We have to overcome it Since they’re bound to leave sooner or later, why should we pay them any need?
“If our paths are different fro us on this journey It wouldn’t work out even if ere to coerce them So, if they want to leave, let them be After all, I only need those who tread on the same path”
Winter in the Northern Lands always arrived early It was co the Northerners to, before the arrival of the interminable and harsh frost, prepare sufficient provisions and preventive ainst packs of beasts
The packs in winter were the hardest to deal with Starvation would make them rabid, and the result of the winter lockdown of the ether to challenge the huardless of the price they would pay for it Anyway, starving to death was no different to dying in battle Rather than starve or freeze to death, they would amble
When the Mist Country was powerful, they took the initiative to clear away the hordes of beasts around the towns, sometimes even into the snowy mountains On one hand, it was for additional provisions in winter On the other, it reduced the nus to thethe potential stress that each town faced in winter
When winter set in, the knights would engage themselves in the anticipated Winter Hunt At that tihts would volunteer to clear away the packs
In peacetie to showcase one’s abilities Every year, knights traveled into the depths of the ic beasts
However, the current East Mist Communal Country does not hold such power Lack of provisions and assault by savage beasts were like a sword of Da over their heads, and it was difficult to persevere through the winter each year
In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, weak countries would just continue to groeaker The enty years ago cost East Mist of its final enchanted metal mine, and life there became harsher
Sorloin was an ordinary city just a short distance away from the capital, Diffindor When the Auland E summer, autumn had already started to set in here
In the past, this was the period where its residents busied the their crops with the acco able to reap sufficient provisions was definitely a joyous affair However, if the crops that were harvested were of inferior quality e of sorroould accompany the joy they felt
The Northern Lands were plagued inter half of the ti crops that ripened once a year in tiny amounts was a normal situation Furthermore, this involved the issue of whether they were able to safely get by the harsh winter Thus, whenever autuhtly crestfallen
However, although the harvest wasn’t splendid this year either, the situation was slightly different
“Don’t rush, there is enough for everyone!”
The young knights carrying the insignia of the royal faht smiles on their faces It was already standard practice for the royalty and nobles to open their stores when food wasn’t enough However, the royal family wasn’t really wealthy either, so they couldn’t buy many provisions either The ht have been known for their co penniless as well It was already difficult for the others
