If there is trouble in the above-ground city, there will be no problems in the underground city in the short term, but if it lasts for a while, there will be chaos.
This kind of problem has occurred in the rat-man city-state before.
One year, there was a severe drought, which resulted in a decrease in grain production in the urban areas, and also affected business.
The supplies from the above-ground city could not be supplied to the underground city in time, and the rat nobles in the underground city had long been accustomed to a high standard of living. However, the first to cause chaos were not the rat nobles, but the rat people in the research institute.
The ratmen in the research institute may not be high-ranking officials, but their social status among the ratmen is even higher than that of the ratmen nobles.
Once there are problems with experimental materials and funding chains, these research lunatics will not care whether you are a city lord or a noble and will go crazy.
No one knows what kind of weird things are inside the research institute. That unfortunate city-state was almost destroyed by those crazy people in the research institute.
That incident made the rat people realize the importance of the aboveground city.
From then on, the underground city will also take the affairs of the above-ground city seriously.
The lord of the aboveground city of Ilemaha is a capable ratman. He has always managed the aboveground city very well and supplied supplies in a very timely manner. In the underground city, not only the nobles praise the lord, but even the crazy people in the research institute are very satisfied with him.
There is even news that this person will be the next lord of the underground city.
But now this praised city lord actually sent an urgent document, indicating that there was indeed a problem, the kind that could not be solved by the above-ground city, and the underground city lord could not afford to ignore it.
The animal skin paper was specially written in small characters, detailing the journey of the undead. There was also a red mark at the back, indicating that the undead army had landed. The mayor of the aboveground city speculated that the other party's destination was the newly appeared gathering point.
"Undead?"
After carefully reading the emergency document, the dungeon lord frowned.
He had the same doubts as the city lord on earth: why did the undead suddenly appear?
The rise of the ratmen was accompanied by war. He had read a large amount of historical materials about the ratmen and knew that during the rise of the ratmen, they had been in conflict with too many races, and that they had climbed to their current position by stepping on the corpses of many races.
I have fought so many battles and seen so many races, including legendary races, but this is the first time I have seen the undead.
In his memory, the last battle between the ratmen and the undead in their history could no longer be verified. It was too long ago. Even in the vast history of the ratmen, there were only a few sentences about it.
It is not even certain whether the undead race exists.
An idea struck him, and he grabbed a piece of animal skin paper, quickly wrote down a few questions, and handed it to his assistant. "Send it upstairs and give it to the city lord. Have him reply to me immediately. I want accurate information!"
"yes!"
The assistant took the animal skin paper and left in a hurry, while the lower city lord also stood up and left the office, rushing to the library.
Regardless of whether it was as he guessed or not, he had to go to the library to look for information about the undead and determine how to deal with them.
Every ratman city-state has a large library, and most of the books in it are about the history of the ratmen.
Documents on ratman technology are not stored in the Great Library, but in the Research Institute. Those lunatics do not trust the Great Library. Firstly, they feel that the Great Library cannot protect its own documents, and secondly, they are afraid that someone will sneak into the Great Library and steal their ratman research results.
The Research Institute has its own independent documentation system, and every once in a while, it will transport documents from various city-states to the Ratman City through secret channels.
What the city lord needs to do is to look for clues of the undead from history first.
