Great Tomb, Intelligence Countermeasures Begin
「E-Rantel」 had three city walls, and the outermost wall enclosed an area that occupied about a quarter of the city, mostly on the western side.
This was the Great Tomb of E-Rantel.
As a frontline fortress, the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Bahharuth Empire engaged in battles every year, resulting in a large number of casualties.
Even now, there were various rumors about the birth of Undead, but none had ever been confirmed. No one really knew how Undead were born.
However, one point was generally agreed upon: Undead had a higher chance of being born in the final resting place of the dead.
Among them, those who died unnatural deaths or had no one to mourn them were more likely to be reborn as Undead.
Therefore, both the Empire and the Kingdom concluded agreements during wars to solemnly mourn the dead, and this vast cemetery was established for this purpose.
Under the dim night,
A dark shadow moved swiftly and silently towards the cemetery.
The closer it got to the cemetery, the more one could feel the silence in the air. Even during the day, few people came here, let alone at night.
In the distance.
Tang Zheng saw a circle of walls, about four meters high, which formed a boundary separating the cemetery from the outside world.
He raised his head slightly.
On the bridge of Tang Zheng's nose, on the left side, sat a monocle, a Magic Item he had purchased, possessing the ability of Night Vision.
So even in the dim night, Tang Zheng could still clearly see the surrounding objects.
The tall and sturdy walls in the distance were obviously not to protect the cemetery, but to prevent the Undead born within from entering the outside world.
As he approached.
Two watchtowers emitting soft light appeared in the darkness, with a tightly closed, heavy gate in between.
Clearly.
The passage into the cemetery was already closed at this time, and there were patrolling guards on the two watchtowers.
Not only guards, but also an Adventurer team stationed there.
This was an arrangement made by the Adventurer's Guild in cooperation with the City Lord, rotating every so often, to deal with the Undead born in the cemetery.
"Looks like I need to find another place to enter." Tang Zheng paused and walked away from the watchtower along the wall.
Soon.
Tang Zheng stopped at a wall more than four meters high, glanced at the smooth surface of the wall, his expression unchanged.
Walls of this height were no problem to stop ordinary Undead, but for Tang Zheng, they were not an obstacle at all.
Bending his legs, he stomped hard on the ground.
Tang Zheng easily jumped to a height of about three meters, his palm flipped, and a Mithril Dagger appeared in his hand, stabbing it into the wall to secure himself.
Immediately after.
He exerted force with his wrist, and his figure rose again. When his toes were level with the Dagger stuck in the wall, he flicked his toes, and the Dagger flew up and returned to his hand.
In the blink of an eye.
Tang Zheng landed lightly on the wall, then flipped over and entered the cemetery.
What came into view first was a large expanse of tombstones, and the rustling sound of withered trees being blown by the wind.
Within each tombstone area, one could see wooden structures, shaped like houses, less than a meter high.
In the night, the shadows were elongated, giving a sense of invisible fear and oppression! Faced with such a gloomy scene, Tang Zheng was expressionless.
In his previous world, there were no such things as ghosts, yet people were still afraid, not only because of psychological factors, but also because of a fear of the unknown.
But this world! That's right, ghosts really existed, or rather, they should be called Specters!
How to deal with Specters?
Tang Zheng slightly grinned, striding towards the depths of the cemetery: "Just have to kill him."
As he gradually went deeper.
The number of tombstones and withered trees gradually increased.
Tang Zheng observed the surrounding environment while recalling the details in his mind.
If he remembered correctly, Khajiit should be hiding in an underground temple located deep within the cemetery. At the start of the plot, he had already been lurking in the E-Rantel cemetery for five years.
All for the sake of collecting negative energy.
According to the current timeline, Khajiit should have only infiltrated about a year ago.
A place like a cemetery gives a necromantic Magic Caster like Khajiit a home-field advantage, especially in the current nighttime environment.
But the daytime is clearly not suitable for action.
The guards and stationed Adventurer teams patrol during the day, and if anything happens in the cemetery, they will definitely rush over at the first moment.
As for the night environment.
As long as there is no large-scale Undead impacting the walls, even if something happens within the cemetery, neither the guards nor the Adventurer teams will rashly enter, but will wait for daylight before dealing with it.
If Khajiit's advantage lies in the home-field advantage.
Then.
In Tang Zheng's view, his advantage is information.
Among Khajiit's many methods, the one that Tang Zheng is most concerned about and needs to take seriously is the Bone Dragon.
Although this magical beast is only Level 16, it has the ability to be immune to magic below the Sixth-Tier, which is simply a disaster for the Magic Casters of this world.
The attacks containing flame and divine attributes in the Flame Archangel's hands will also be offset by this characteristic.
In addition, the advantage created by its massive size allows the Bone Dragon, although its level is low, to possess power far exceeding what that level should have.
This is a rather troublesome Undead.
Actually.
Judging from the fact that Khajiit spent five years gathering enough negative energy to summon two Bone Dragons, the current Khajiit should not be able to summon Bone Dragons.
But the countermeasures that should be taken still need to be taken, as nothing is absolute in this world.
Among the ten Flame Archangels that Tang Zheng prepared, two are specifically for dealing with Bone Dragons, not to eliminate them, but to stall them.
The depths of the cemetery have become quiet.
From time to time, gleams like will-o'-the-wisps flashed through the withered forest around.
About a hundred meters away.
A dilapidated, severely damaged, three-meter-high, spire-topped temple, supported by thick stone pillars, appeared in sight.
Judging by the extent of the damage.
The existence of this temple must be very ancient.
Tang Zheng also stopped at this moment, tilting his head slightly, his gaze sweeping around.
Under the dim moonlight, in the shade of the withered trees, faint figures were approaching in this direction!
At the same time, in the silent environment, sounds like the low growls of beasts began to rise and fall.
A rotten, foul smell suddenly permeated the air.
Facing the Undead zombies gradually approaching here.
Tang Zheng flipped his wrist, and a Second-Tier Magic Scroll appeared in his palm, and he pinched it hard.
Swish! A holy light flashed in the darkness, instantly condensing into a Guardian Angel.
Also in this instant.
The Undead, who were originally slowly approaching here, suddenly sped up their movements, dense footsteps sounded, and even the roaring sounds became much louder.
Bang! A male Undead zombie crashed through a withered tree, appearing in the left front first. Under the enhancement of Tang Zheng's monocle's Night Vision, he could even see the wriggling maggots inside its rotten body.
"Go, lure away all the Undead in this area."
Tang Zheng expressionlessly issued the order to the Guardian Angel.
Whoosh! The Guardian Angel flapped its bright yellow wings, its figure soaring into the air, flying into the distance.
And with the Guardian Angel's movements, the large number of Undead that were originally approaching in this direction simultaneously changed direction.
If we say.
The aura of a living person is like fragrant fatty meat to the Undead, then the sacred aura of an angel is like a torch in the night in the eyes of the Undead! Tang Zheng saw that the temple a hundred meters away did not show any intention of approaching, and stood there quietly waiting.
About seven or eight minutes passed.
The Undead in this area had all been lured away by the Guardian Angel.
"Step two."
Tang Zheng smiled slightly, flipped his hands, and a Magic Scroll of 'Second-Tier Angel Summoning' appeared in each hand.
