Tomb Survival: Evolve from Skeleton

"So, the war must not be stalemate!"

Kress simply and quickly analyzed the current situation and the main points of the enemy and the enemy.

Rubia Fritz didn't know why Kress was so familiar with Jeske Horton's troop arrangement for a while, and he could only guess that he learned about it from the opposing guard.

"Kress Knight, what else can you do?"

At some point, Rubia Fritz already felt that the war was irreparable.

Jeske Holden is cunning.

Before the rebellion, even though Rubia Fritz had taken many precautions, the power of a princess was limited after all, even if she was the wisest First Princess Rubia Fritz.

What's more, King Fritz didn't believe that Jeske Horton would rebel.

Therefore, under Jeske Horton's secret arrangements, a series of neutral forces that are enemies of the undead and other forces, such as the Adventurer's Union, the Magician's Association, and the Temple of the Holy Light, among them, have the powerhouse who can change the entire battle situation , were all drawn out.

At this time, the Papal State launched a "holy war" against the demi-human hills on the northern shore of the Abyss Strait.

A large number of strong human beings followed the Holy Army of the Papal State, mainly composed of the Knights Templar and Judgment Priests, and went to the north shore of the Abyss Strait.

Otherwise, until now, only the army of the Fritz royal family struggled against the Jesk rebels and the undead army like a tide.

This series of behaviors has directly led to the current general trend...

The hope of the Fritz royal family seemed to be caught in the wind and rain.

Even Rubia Fritz originally planned to evacuate Yayu City in order to use other forces, the forces that are enemies of the undead, to fight against Jeske Horton.

but……

After all, it is difficult for Rubia Fritz to abandon Yayu City. Who can easily give up their hometown, and which princess would be willing to give up their capital?
Rubia Fritz couldn't help it.

And Kress's calmness and rationality gave her hope. Now she holds her breath and listens quietly to the voice transmitted by the communication magic from hundreds of miles away...

"some."

The simple and rational word put down the boulder in Rubia Fritz's heart.

"Miss Lubia, don't worry, I have a plan, so I want to contact you..."

……

Yayu City.

Central Palace.

Under the magnificent white stone pillars, there are neatly and gorgeously piled marble bricks.

This centuries-old palace building is a symbol of the power of the Fritz royal family.

But now, Jeske Horton, the lord dressed in the armor of the noble general, is sitting firmly on the golden throne that was originally carved with a golden lion's head.

On the long table before the throne hangs the sword of Jesc Horton.

Under the saber is a map of the influence of the entire Yayu City.

This giant city has almost completely fallen into his own hands!

Of course, the premise is that "Cold Iron" will firmly occupy the western urban area for itself as promised, and surprise the royal army from behind at the critical moment.

but……

Jesque raised his head slightly, and he seemed to hear the sound of fighting at the pass hundreds of miles away.

In fact, from the center of the palace, the screaming and killing voices from a hundred miles away could not be heard at all.

At least it does for humans in general.

But the current Jeske Holden is different, he is no longer an ordinary human being...

Under the research of a large number of necromancers employed by the Jeske family, Jess Horton is finally one step closer to immortality!
He has become half a zombie...

In other words, he is now half an undead, possessing both the wisdom of humans and the extremely long lifespan of the undead!
This is one of the greatest achievements of the necromancers after discovering the key of the seal of Dark Ori.

The gloom in Jeske Horton's eyes seemed to deepen a bit.

Pale face, I don't know if it's because of anger or because he turned into a half-undead...

"It seems that Kieran Vader has not fulfilled his promise to me..."

Jeske Horton's words were very cold, just as he was able to bet all his power and wealth on this battle, he has become a detached person who sees through ordinary wealth.

Following Jeske Horton's slightly raised gaze, the sound of brocade boots hitting stone bricks came from far to near...

The sunset light and shadow projected from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the palace is very dreamy and blurry.

The visitor was slender, walked along the flickering light, and finally stood in the center of the throne room...

It's Kress!

Jesc Horton was not so surprised, he was as calm as a dummy,
No, he is already a combination of undead and human beings, so, according to the characteristic of undead forcibly calming down, it can explain a lot of his previous style.

"Kress Knight, you really came back alive."

Jesc Horton stood up slightly, as if to show his respect for the strong Kress in front of him.

And Kress, who was dressed in the robes of the nobles of the black kingdom, bowed slightly to Jeske Horton, and performed the salute etiquette of a western knight.

Jeske Horton was slightly taken aback.

He thought that even if Kress would not be furious because he deliberately let them die, he would probably have to question him.

just now...

"Knight Kress, why are you saluting to me?"

"because……"

Kress had already straightened up at this time, looking straight at Jesc Horton who was standing on the top of the stairs before the throne, and continued calmly——

"...Because, I thank Mr. Jeske for everything he has done for the undead family."

"Oh?"

Jesc Horton narrowed his eyes slightly, he couldn't see through the knight in front of him more and more.

From the first time he saw Kress, he felt that Kress was hiding something, but now, this feeling is getting stronger...

Jeske Horton didn't like this feeling.

"I just accomplished my goal, why should you thank me?"

Jesc Horton also showed extreme patience with Kress, time is now on his side, he just needs to wait for the seal behind the palace barrier to be opened, and Dakori to come to life.

If Kress wanted to help the Fritz royal family delay time and wait for noble reinforcements, that would be exactly what he wanted.
Jeske Horton thought to himself, and at the same time became more and more curious about the other party's answer.

Standing in the center of the throne room, Kress, with a mask created by illusion, slightly raised the corners of his lips, showing a rather stiff smile——

"Then, Mr. Jeske, please open your eyes and take a good look..."
