"It's getting late, Your Majesty."

"I should go back and rest early."

August nodded with a smile.

Grand Duke Barlow always rested very early, and once his appointed time arrived, even the king could not keep him there.

This was something that all the nobles present, including the current King Augustus, were well aware of.

However, today, because the Imperial Princess came to visit the academy, it was long past the time when Grand Duke Barlow would normally rest.

But he still stayed by my side for so long.

To be honest, this has already given them plenty of face.

It should be noted that the Archduke of Barlow did not even need to participate in this diplomatic event.

August was very satisfied. He smiled and said to Aurelian:

"Well then, we should take our leave."

"Your Highness, see you tomorrow."

Aurelion smiled and nodded in response.

And the very next second after she nodded.

Deep within that breathtakingly dark green cave entrance,

Countless skeletal steeds covered in black and green flames galloped out of the cave.

Each spirited horse has a long, flowing rein around its neck.

These wild horses had eerie black-green flames burning between their ribs.

Flames erupted from their hollow eye sockets, accompanied by low growls, as they appeared before the crowd.

Their manes danced in the flames, and even their tails shimmered like black and green fire.

The surrounding night sky seemed to be ignited by this unique green flame, becoming bright yet eerie.

Following closely behind was a sturdy and enormous carriage.

The carriage was pulled up by twelve skeletal steeds.

Built of finely crafted dark brown wood, topped with a hearth lamp with a flickering green flame, it is large enough to accommodate more than ten people.

The carriage was also engulfed in a chilling green flame, which carried a hint of murderous intent.

The white bones were intricately inlaid on the edge of the carriage, giving it a sinister and intimidating feel.

The foreign ministers stared in disbelief at the skeletal horses and the flaming carriages, utterly shocked.

Why is he so handsome?

Is this the legendary necromancer?

The knights were equally shocked by the scene before them, which seemed to have come from hell.

Oh my god!

These knights had known all sorts of horses since they were young, but they had never seen such a handsome skeleton horse.

If you ride that even once, you'll lose several years of your lifespan!

Even the kingdom's noble lords couldn't help but marvel at the sight before them.

No matter how many times they watched it, Grand Duke Balor's necromancy always gave them an absolute sense of awe.

The power of a mage is truly great.

The nobles were particularly amazed.

Since they knew they had no chance anyway, they started to fantasize.

How wonderful it would be if my own child could become a monk.

At that moment, the carriage stopped in front of the twelve foreign ministers.

The numerous skeletal horses gathered before the knights and demi-human guards, and obediently lowered their bodies.

Whether they were ministers or members of the knightly order, they were all amazed as they watched the skeletal horse's flames gradually weaken.

At that moment, a skeletal horse, much larger than the others, slowly walked up to Gwen.

Gwen looked at Victor, as if seeking his opinion.

After seeing Viktor nod, Gwen mounted her horse without saying a word.

Instantly, her body was enveloped by a blackish-green flame from the soles of her feet. The flame rose rapidly and completely engulfed Gwen's figure.

Once the flames stabilized, Gwen's image reappeared.

Her entire body was engulfed in a dark green flame, like that of a wild horse.

His eyes also blazed with fire, as if he had transformed into an undead knight.

Seeing this, the other knights also excitedly leaped onto the platform.

In an instant, waves of dark green flames surged across the land, encircling all the knights and demi-human guards.

A massive army of undead, their bodies engulfed in eerie green flames, appeared on the ground like ghosts.

Although the skeletons of demi-humans differ from those of humans, their figures exude an unusual and domineering aura amidst the flames.

Under the flames, the fur on their tails seemed to have burned away, revealing some unique tailbones and beast-like skeletal features.

The undead cavalry suddenly neighed, unleashing a deafening roar across the land.

Aurelion looked around at the knights and demi-human guards who had transformed into an army of the dead, feeling both envy and curiosity.

Where is her horse? Where is her horse?

At that moment, an even more luxurious white bone carriage slowly emerged from the dark green tunnel and stopped in front of her.

Several exquisite arm bones were attached to the carriage, making the cabin more spacious.

A green flame rope hung down from the corner of the carriage, from which a steel cage was suspended.

An owl with ghostly green flames burning in its eyes was also imprisoned inside.

Just as Aurelion was examining the carriage.

Grand Duke Barlow had already come to her side and spoke calmly:

"You and Victor, ride in my carriage."

Aurelion was slightly taken aback, then quickly responded:

"Okay, okay..."

...

The carriage convoy, wreathed in eerie green flames, moved steadily forward, accompanied by the dull thud of skull-studded wheels hitting the road.

The surroundings seemed to be shrouded in mist, and the convoy appeared to be trekking through a thick fog, displaying only a silent, monochromatic hue.

The deathly silent skeletal horse, carrying the knight and the alien, followed closely behind the huge skeletal horse carrying Gwen.
