Chapter 205: Chapter 189 The Lord is Red-named Again

As Rand Kingdom entered its 122nd year in March, which was also the third March since the shattering of the Ring of Magic and the arrival of spring, the previously parched sky suddenly turned generous.

A particularly fierce storm whipped up from a vast expanse of land to the southeast.

Clad in plate armor, Lind braced himself against the gale upon the city walls, while dark clouds gathered swiftly amid the turmoil of the storm.

The temperature, instead of being as cold as before, now felt almost mild, and the occasional droplets of rain that landed on his face evaporated quickly due to the high temperature of Lind’s body, turning into wisps of white mist.

The attack by the undead from Cazhen Town had come, and it did not surprise him at all.

It was not just Cazhen Town; Lind would not be surprised by any betrayal from the undead, for as long as there was profit in killing him, there would always be someone willing to do so, and there would always be people choosing that path.

Strength did not cause fear among the undead; on the contrary, it provoked them to launch attacks time and again.

Upon learning that the undead of Cazhen Town had organized an army to lay siege, Lind immediately issued a quest through his Lion Badge.

[Star Dragon City Update Announcement]

[Update 1: Emergency Siege Event! Star Dragon City faces the onslaught of traitorous forces. Those who successfully defend and counterattack will receive Star Dragon Stones as rewards; the top ten based on kill count will receive additional rewards.]

[Update 2: Counterattack on Cazhen Town! The lordly master is enraged by the treacherous deeds of Cazhen Town. Eliminate Archbishop Milan and unlock the Magic Potion path for Necromancers.]

[Update 3: Due to the emergency, all shops in Star Dragon City are closed, including the Banshee’s Pond and Armand’s Trophy Warehouse.]

Even without any reward updates, this siege would excite the undead, let alone now that Lind was offering a substantial bounty.

The assault indeed stimulated Lind, making him feel as though the undead might attack at any moment, and that Star Dragon City was that instance, and he himself was the instance boss waiting to be assaulted.

The sky grew darker and the light more dim, visibility blurring as the ground was pelted by raindrops brought by the storm.

On the walls of Star Dragon City stood the Great Knights, a force entirely belonging to Lind.

Lance organized the soldiers to prepare for a counterattack as soon as possible. The defensive siege weapons had been ready since the city’s foundation and had been well-maintained for immediate use.

"My lord, is it...?" Lance, holding an Ice Bow exuding a chill, stood next to Lind, together with him feeling the calm before the war’s complete eruption.

Lance’s vision was sharp, probably related to some mutation in his body, which allowed him to be closer to the original power of magic.

"What is it?" Lind turned his head to look back. He did not allow Brittany, Mico, and Morena, among others, to participate in the battle, as they were not adept at fighting anyway.

However, Serene, Milan, and Dome had already ascended the city walls and stood behind him.

Four Upper Rank, and all considered elite level.

Lind suddenly found it funny that he was using the term ’elite mobs’ to describe his own forces, and there wasn’t even the slightest sense of incongruity in it.

"The undead."

"They are chaotic," Lind said, "They might do anything."

An entity could never accept chaos, they could endure hatred, accept enemies, but never the erratic nature of chaos.

On this point, even Dome and Milan, who had no concept of loyalty, nodded in agreement. They saw the contributions the undead made for Star Dragon City, but if they witnessed the horrific scene they were creating at the moment, any rational person would choose to reject the undead.

Lind’s gaze shifted towards the area before the city walls.

Lines of forked lightning ripped through the clouds overhead, with blinding blue-purple light flashing along the ground as if intent on blinding anyone who watched, illuminating the ground below. Within the wrathful lashes of the storm-lit lightning, they successfully discerned their enemies.

About three to four kilometers away, the open ground was already rooted with trembling corpses that swayed in the storm, like a meadow composed of dead bodies.

The rumble of thunder followed, but the lightning flashes in front had already vanished.

As the defenders, Star Dragon City only had three to four hundred people, and its undead would not obey Lind’s commands during the war. They had rushed out at the first opportunity.

The undead did not form any kind of formation. It was fanciful to expect an untrained mob to form a battle line, plus their power types and power levels varied greatly. Small, loose groupings fighting on their own, occasionally supporting each other, was more in line with their style of combat.

"I know what you mean," Lind said, "But, they will come."

As long as one existed in this world, there was no avoiding the undead, whether as NPCs or as notorious wild monsters.

Rather than waiting to be discovered one day and overthrown by the undead, Lind thought the identity he had built as the mayor of Newbie Village was quite successful.

Like now, this scene felt very much like the undead entering an instance.

However, he, standing on the walls, was in another coat charging at the undead.

Though outnumbered, the advantage in combat strength was on their side.

The battle began, and the two sides clashed.

Sorcerer Wizards were at a significant disadvantage in the obviously biased environment of the storm, both in the difficulty of gathering flames and in the accuracy after launching a Fireball.

Hitting the enemy, the flames burst open, but the fire couldn’t spread.
