Chapter 1143: Chapter 694: Cyan Town Shrouded in Darkness_2 Chapter 1143: Chapter 694: Cyan Town Shrouded in Darkness_2 “Speaking of which, the dense black fog enveloping the city is obviously the key to the Nightmare Knight’s conspiracy and the source of the undead spreading throughout Cyan Town. But what exactly is it and how can we break it?”

Thinking of this, Leo Ray frowned again.

“It’s… it’s actually the Undead Domain!”

Subsequently, Lina, who had caught up, expressed surprise on her wheat-colored face and blurted out.

“Undead Domain?”

Leo Ray, who had already rushed to the edge of the forest, temporarily stopped, nodding to the Lina beside him to continue.

Although the situation was extremely urgent, blindly charging into the city without knowing the full picture would be tantamount to courting death.

With Leo Ray’s wisdom, he naturally wouldn’t do such a reckless thing.

“My Lord, the so-called Undead Domain is a very special Magic Barrier.”

Lina, who also realized the seriousness of the situation, spoke quickly: “The biggest feature of this Magic Barrier is that it can turn all the dead within into undead soldiers, which is extremely vicious.”

“Moreover, if the caster does not actively control these undead, these undead soldiers will indiscriminately attack all living people within the Barrier’s effective range, bringing fear and death to the area where the Barrier is located.”

A disgusted expression appeared on Lina’s face as she continued, “According to my teacher, the Undead Domain is one of the most powerful secrets of the Controller of Humans, and each use almost always turns a bustling city into a dead one.”

“No wonder those soldiers of the new nobles didn’t take advantage of the chaos to enter the city, or they would have suffered miserably as well.”

Ariel Watson’s eyebrows furrowed, and a stern look flashed in her starry pupils as she said, “It really is a terrifying and vicious secret.”

“That’s right, these deeds of the ‘Controller of Humans’ are even more hateful than those fierce demon beasts.”

Beyond indignation, a puzzled expression appeared on Lina’s delicate face as she continued, “However, the Undead Domain usually requires a very long preparation time to be successfully built and activated, which can’t help but raise doubts.”

“It’s simple, which means that the Nightmare Knight has obviously had his sights set on Cyan Town for a long time, and in other words, he has secretly been preparing for this day.”

A sharp murderous intent flashed in Leo Ray’s eyes as he asked Lina, the Mandala Race woman in front of him, “Lina, how exactly should we break this Undead Domain?”

“My Lord, the solution is simple: find the key point of the formation.”

With a solemn expression, Lina immediately bowed and replied, “When the Undead Domain is activated, the caster must be coordinating everything at the key point. Just defeat the caster, and everything will be resolved!”

“I see, so all we have to do is take down the Nightmare Knight, right?”

Leo Ray nodded and gestured for everyone around him to continue galloping toward Cyan Town.

Since everyone was wearing Invisibility Cloaks, they naturally didn’t have to worry about being discovered by the soldiers of the new noble forces surrounding Cyan Town.

During this process, Leo Ray, who had a preliminary understanding of the current situation, continued to inquire about the specifics on Linda’s side through Mind Talk.

After further introduction by Linda, Leo Ray learned.

After the fallen Defense Army soldiers were suddenly transformed into skeleton warriors.

The four walls of Cyan Town quickly plunged into chaos.

The Cyan Town Defense Army soldiers who were concentrating on defending against the invading forces of the new nobility at the foot of the city had never imagined that deadly blades would suddenly stab them from behind.Although the new noble forces outside the city had retreated to a safe distance and stopped attacking the city when the skeleton warriors began their rampage.

However, the sudden emergence of these bone-white new threats was obviously more cruel and difficult to deal with than the living enemies at the bottom of the city.

“Seeing their comrades in the same armor turning into undead soldiers with empty eyes, many soldiers were already pierced by sharp blades in the moment of hesitating, and then, more skeleton soldiers appeared.”

Linda’s voice was still filled with panic and helplessness, as she trembled and continued: “Not long after, the eastern city wall I was responsible for could no longer hold, and I had to lead the last few middle team soldiers to forcibly fight our way out and retreat to the granary in the east of the city, where we temporarily obtained safety.”

“So, that’s how it is…”

Leo Ray pondered and nodded, then anxiously asked, “What about Taylor, Mason Banks, Rhizoma Drynariae, Joshua, and the others?”

Just now, he had tried to contact them several times.

As with the previous sudden situations, this undead domain seemed to have some kind of interference measures.

Apart from Linda, Leo Ray couldn’t contact any other subordinates inside the city.

“My Lord, I’m not sure. After the undead domain was activated, as you said, chaos quickly broke out in the city. Not only were the dead soldiers present, but a large number of wandering skeleton soldiers also appeared in various cemeteries throughout the city.”

Linda took another deep breath, trying to calm her panicking emotions, and replied: “Both magical communication and mind talk have failed, the messengers have been almost wiped out, and contact has long been cut off.”

“But as I speculate, the defense forces on the other sides of the city walls should have also retreated into the city one after another. After all, if the enemy came from behind, the city wall would no longer be the most robust line of defense.”

After a pause, Linda quickly added: “As for the important facilities in the city, including the City Lord Mansion, they all have the protection of the elite forces such as the Mage Squad under your command, the Trading Conference Escort Middle Team, and the Princess’s Guard. Moreover, they all rely on solid fortresses for defense. If the defense forces retreat into the city, they will definitely regroup with the nearest elite forces as soon as possible, just like me.”

“Understood, Linda, you must hold on and never give up.”

Leo Ray, who now had a better understanding of the situation in the city, nodded slightly and immediately turned his face to his subordinates: “Given the current crisis, I’m sure you all understand that the new noble forces have surrounded Cyan Town and can’t send a large number of soldiers into the city at once. Even if they could, it might not be a wise choice.”

“As a result, the main burden falls on the shoulders of everyone present. We must enter the undead domain alone, regroup the scattered forces in the city on one hand, and defeat the Nightmare Knight on the other hand to resolve this crisis.”

At this point, Leo Ray’s gaze moved and eventually fell on the three elderly great mages Walter, Phil, and Swill beside Randall, and then said: “Are you willing to fight alongside me and risk your lives to solve this crisis?”

“My Lord, you are too kind.”

Walter stroked his white beard, exchanged glances with the other two elderly great mages, and saw the same determination in their old eyes.

Then he took a step forward and said sternly: “My Lord, we have not yet had time to express our gratitude for your rescue of Captain Randall, and we are uneasy in our hearts. Now that your city is in trouble, it is our duty to help.”

“What Elder Walter said is right; from the moment my Lord brought Randall out of the Endless Passage, we have stood by your side.”

Swill nodded without hesitation and echoed: “We are willing to wield our magic wands for you, my Lord!”

“You two old fellows, stop the lengthy speeches here.”

Phil, the impatient one, came up, puffing his beard and glaring: “My Lord, as long as you think highly of this old man, feel free to give your orders.”

As for the other direct subordinates, they all showed determination and readiness to take action.

“Very well, with all your words, I feel invincible.”

Leo Ray’s gaze returned to the city surrounded by black fog and struggling in the fire-filled sky in front of him, and he said resolutely: “Let us go in and find out.”
