Chapter 448: Invisible Enemy

On a moonlit night, Andrei and Alyosha were grilling meat on the back of a stoker in the yard, enjoying their rare vacation.

It has been thirteen years since they came to the big city of Yaocheng, and during this time, many things have changed.

First, Andre entered the seminary and started from scratch. With excellent grades, he obtained the official scholar qualification and put on a black robe with a holy flower.

He then successfully stayed in school and entered the medical school as an intern lecturer.

Originally, Andre had nothing to do with medicine.

In the past twenty years of his life in the abyss, he has appeared as a wizard, controlling the wizard tower, using detection techniques, and his work is closer to the military direction.

Yaocheng does not need combat members, but has very high requirements for professional ability, especially in the seminary at the top of the pyramid of symbolic scholars. The competition to become a lecturer is extremely fierce.

His wife Alyosha advised him, "Dear Andrei, I know you have always wanted to have a wizard tower where you can continue your previous magic research. But this is not a small place like the Abyss, but the big city Yaocheng behind the Yao clan..."

"We all have to learn to be down-to-earth, okay? I believe that with your abilities, you can also achieve remarkable achievements in other areas."

Then she suggested that Andre apply for medical school.

The reason is that as the Yao population continued to grow and the scale of development of various cities expanded, the gap in specific occupations became large.

The two professions with the largest gaps are doctors and senior herdsmen.

Senior herders need to raise and take care of extraordinary creatures, especially the deformed beasts headed by the Dulu beast. If they are properly cultivated, these deformed beasts will be a biological device with the ability to grow.

But it is not easy to raise them well. Getting along with extraordinary creatures requires a lot of skills, the corresponding knowledge, and pastoral experience.

There has always been a large gap in the number of senior herdsmen in the extraordinary ranches in various cities.

The same goes for doctors.

As the population grew, the number of patients also grew rapidly. The nursing homes in every city expanded again and again, but the number of doctors could not keep up with the demand of patients.

"Andre, the medical school is going to recruit a lot of intern lecturers. With your ability, there will definitely be no problem."

Alyosha said: "Do you know? Many patients in Yaocheng have to make an appointment for a few days before they can receive treatment. Many of our colleagues are working day and night, checking blood, observing patients, and preparing potions, just to save more lives..."

"Your [Detection Technique] can not only be used in combat, but also to help people."

Andre accepted his wife's advice.

During the ten years in medical school, he gradually came to the fore. His experience as an abyss mage also enabled him to deal with various situations in an orderly manner. Going out to participate in diagnosis and treatment did not affect his continued research on magic.

By now, Andre is a Sanhua Scholar and a senior lecturer at the Medical School.

Not long ago, the Kingdom of Yao was officially established, and all the ground cities were officially connected. The status of Yao City as the capital of the kingdom was officially confirmed, and the residents of the city also received more dividends.

Soon after the crystal structure era was determined, the academic enthusiasm of the Yao clan further increased, and another good era for scholars arrived.

…

Those mage colleagues who have been waiting for opportunities are now either building mage towers in the mountains or looking for job opportunities everywhere. Ordinary mages are not very competitive in the Yao clan city.

Andre swallowed a piece of barbecue and sighed: "More than a decade ago, I was still on the street, feeling confused and thinking that I might be sent back to the abyss. It feels like it was yesterday."

"I have always believed in you. You are no worse than anyone else." Alyosha drank a glass of bighorn sheep blood wine, his eyes sparkling: "I know that my vision will not be wrong."

Andre couldn't help but smile: "Fortunately, I listened to Mr. Huang Jia's advice... At that time, I didn't know that he was a big shot."

"Who knows?" Alyosha licked the blood from the corner of his mouth. "I didn't expect that he could climb up Qianyuan Mountain by himself. Even the masters Taixi and Fahai over there couldn't stop him. Could he be a god? For example, Lord Wuji, or Lord Ju?"

The husband shook his head: "Don't guess. Nowadays, the streets are full of men with big beards, and they all have strong muscles. This is the trend and fashion left by Mr. Huang Jia... It was not like this before."

While the couple was chatting, there was a knock on the door.

The visitor was a young apprentice of the Temple Society.

He handed Andre a letter with sweat all over his face. "Please check the latest order of the Temple Society. I have to leave first. I have to go to the next scholar's house."

Andre opened the sealing wax, read the official letter inside and fell silent.

"What's wrong?" Alyosha asked carefully when he saw that her husband looked unhappy.

Andre put away the letter and said, "The Temple will select me as one of the core scholars to support the Resurrection Kingdom. I will lead the mage team and build the Mage Tower over there."

"Resurrection Kingdom?"

Alyosha wiped his lips with a handkerchief, his face full of joy: "I heard that the Prophet Maocao... No, Lord Maocao needs some manpower, and they want elites from various industries. Dear Andre, you have been recognized by the Apostles and the Prophet this time!"

“…”

Andrei sighed, "Alyosha, the Resurrection Kingdom is in the midst of a war."

"Ah? Can you refuse? Fighting is too dangerous." The wife was surprised.

"Of course not. This is a call-up and an honor."

Andre's smile was somewhat helpless and desolate: "I'm not worried about what's going on over there, but about you. I don't know when I can return from this trip. I'm really an incompetent husband."

Alyosha frowned.

She pursed her lips, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "I'll go with you! When war comes, doctors will definitely be needed. I'm a doctor with many years of experience, and they can use me. I'll apply and go too."

Alyosha and Andrei went to the temple council to express their willingness to support them. The temple council did not agree at first, but after the couple's joint request and considering their separation, the prophet Longji finally made an exception and agreed.

…

Arriving at the Resurrection Empire, Andre could clearly feel the tense atmosphere here.

There were patrolling skeleton soldiers everywhere, and skeleton knights riding bone horses, shuttling across the city borders, constantly delivering news from afar.

The Yao clan's support personnel were all concentrated in the royal city, in the safest place. There were two official teams coming here, one was the magician team, and the other was the ghost team.

The mages built the Mage Tower as a sentry tower and fortress on the outskirts of the kingdom; the ghosts set about building the Ghost Lighthouse to accommodate ghosts and serve as a platform for transmitting information.

The two teams complement each other. The Mage Tower plays the role of protecting the Ghost Lighthouse, which is essentially a technical support for the Resurrection Kingdom.

The enemy has not appeared, but the shadow of war has not dissipated. The entire huge Resurrection Kingdom is in a state of war readiness, and the slightest disturbance will arouse fear in everyone's hearts.

Andre was stationed outside Kencheng and witnessed this several times.

One day, a strange fog appeared in the sky and did not dissipate until the sun rose.

The skeletons of the ancestors in the farmland were so frightened that they shouted: "The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming! Hide quickly!"

They were so scared that they ran back and hid behind the wizard's tower.

The Skeleton Knights led the Skeleton Soldiers to be on high alert, set up a tight defense line, and confronted the fog until the afternoon. They only announced the lifting of temporary combat readiness when the fog completely dissipated.

Another time, a group of lightning wolves rushed towards the farmers like crazy, which had never happened since the kingdom had carried out a large-scale extermination of the surrounding areas. Most lightning wolves lived with their tails between their legs, and would take a detour or flee when they saw the skeleton soldiers.

But this time the electric wolves didn't care and ran quickly through the farmland, each one looking crazy, and did not attack the farmers.

The White Bone Ancestors were terrified.

"The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming, even the lightning wolves are running away!"

“Run! Run!”

The scene became chaotic again.

After the military investigation, it was discovered that this group of electric wolves had eaten a mad cow and contracted madness, so they behaved abnormally.

…

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Andre once asked Maocao: "Sir, who is the enemy of the Resurrection Kingdom?"

"have no idea."

The apostle gave him an answer that he did not expect at all.

"This is a war preparation order issued by the titled god, the Messenger of the Gods. The God of Martyrdom has issued a formal order. The entire kingdom has entered a wartime alert. The enemy may attack at any time..."

"What I can tell you is that the Messenger is facing a powerful enemy that can launch a global attack. The Twin Snake Empire has been attacked by the enemy, and two cities have been reduced to ruins."

"You must be very careful on the front lines and protect yourself."

Andre was sweating when he heard this.

The confrontation between the title gods.

In this war, he didn’t know whether he and Alyosha could return alive.

"Don't worry."

Maocao seemed to see through his inner thoughts. The apostle with a cat-like appearance said calmly: "There are instructions given by Lord Yao in the temple. I will stay here and let you return safely. As long as there is still a member of the Yao clan left in this world who needs help, I will not leave."

…

The panic-stricken situation continued, and the White Bone Ancestors were all very nervous.

The army was also constantly training civilians, teaching them to escape and protect their own safety at the first opportunity, causing the White Bone Ancestors to think that anything wrong was an enemy attack and to subconsciously flee.

Andre was not sure about this.

He just stood on the Mage Tower, making sure everything was stable and that the tower could cover and radiate the surrounding area, so that he could contain the unknown enemy in the first round of attack and buy time for the civilians to escape.

In fact, the army led by the Skeleton Knight has been patrolling everywhere.

But no one knows where the enemy will appear from, it may be from the sky, from the water, from underground, or even appear out of thin air like fog.

This is something that even a martyr to God cannot judge.

Two apostles, Theodore and Appias, also often came to the front line. Compared with the expressionless soldiers, the two apostles were always worried.

Andre didn't care about this.

He had become accustomed to the pressure of war in the abyss.

The same is true for Alyosha.

Not only the two of them, but the Yao people on business trips were generally very relaxed.

In addition to work, the mages and ghosts would play tribal chess together in their spare time, play a local game called "Bone Fighting" with the herdsmen, and have a barbecue party in the evening.

The biggest benefit of the Resurrection Kingdom is that there is a lot of meat here. The Bone Ancestors do not need food and can eat as much as they want. The Yao Clan team also continued to comfort the local civilians, teaching them the Yao Clan language and more knowledge, reducing ignorance so that they can better face and adapt to fear.

Here, Andre made a special friend.

Undead Warrior Charles.

Charles is the ambassador from Dog City, responsible for the trade between Dog City and the Kingdom, but most of the time he stays in [Ken City] and writes the historical records of the Resurrection Kingdom from the perspective of an outsider.

"War may come at any time, and historical records become even more important. I must write down everything that still exists here today, so that future generations will know the territories, cities, and environment that the kingdom once had."

Charles had a serious sense of mission that Andre admired very much.

This undead warrior was very particular about details. He would inquire in detail about the size of the city's bricks, personally measure the length and width of the farmland, and ask Andre for help to make a detailed sketch of the working appearance of the skeleton ancestors.

Since Andre is a professional scholar, painting is also a basic skill he has mastered, so he gradually became familiar with Charles.

"Mr. Charles, do you think this war will start? When will it start?"

"War is always on the way, Andre. Don't regard it as a burden of fear. See it as an opportunity."

Charles, who had experienced many battles, had red light flashing in his eyes. He held a charcoal pencil in his hand and said, "In Dog City, every war means that we will either perish or become stronger. Don't be afraid of war, because war is like death. It will always exist and appear. It just depends on when."

“We should not become prey deterred by war. We should become the masters of war. If war is bound to come, we will lock its neck and make it our hunting dog. War itself is not terrible. What is terrible is the fear of challenge.”

Andre sighed: "As expected of Mr. Charles."

The war preparations in which everyone was mobilized as a soldier lasted for two full years. During this period, the kingdom became panic-stricken, many civilians became exhausted, and even the trade with Dog City was greatly affected.

One day in the second year, King Raymond announced: "From today on, the Resurrection Kingdom will officially lift its war preparedness and resume normal production and labor!"

The reason is simple.

The oracle of God Yao descended upon the kingdom's temple.

God says the war is over.

Peace has returned to the Resurrection Kingdom.
