Chapter 280 Border City
The central area, the territory of the undead, an abandoned unknown village.
All the people found by the undead in the territory gathered together and were driven by the undead to an open space.
Over the past few days, the prisoners' fear of the undead has decreased a lot. After all, the undead did not do anything to them and even gave them food. In the hearts of the wanderers, the undead are not only not scary, but also have a layer of glory.
But the abnormal behavior of the undead today still made everyone nervous.
The open space has been surrounded by the undead, with three black warriors and a hundred skeleton knights standing in front.
Some sharp-eyed people noticed that there was a palm-sized eyeball floating in the sky, which seemed to be staring at them.
The leading black warrior stepped forward and whispered to each other. Those who were whispering immediately stopped and looked at him.
"I am the black warrior under the command of the Lord of the Dead. I am conveying my Lord's orders to you. You must obey respectfully. If you make any move, we will kill you."
As these words came out, invisible pressure spread from the Black Knight and the Skeleton Knight, making everyone's faces turn pale, their bodies tremble unconsciously, and they lowered their heads, not daring to look any further.
It's finally here.
Everyone lamented in their hearts.
Ever since they were found by the undead, they knew this day would come.
Judgment!
Judgment from the Lord of the Dead.
Whether they live or die depends entirely on the mood of the Lord of the Undead.
The number of people brought here by the undead is not small, more than 20,000.
Most of them are wanderers and small tribes, and a small number are rat-man vassal races that did not have time to evacuate.
There are all kinds of appearances, it's simply a gathering of monsters.
The Dark Knight was very satisfied with the reactions of the crowd.
"The Lord of the Undead orders that you will travel to the Skaven border and establish a town, becoming the first town residents to come into contact with the Skaven."
The Dark Knight's words made everyone present look up in surprise.
Good news, very good news!
People with quick minds have analyzed a lot of things from this sentence.
First of all, they don’t have to die.
The Lord of the Undead had no intention of killing them, otherwise he would not have sent them to the border.
The second piece of news is that the undead have no intention of closing their territory, but are planning to contact the ratmen.
However, some of the prisoners are relatives of the ratmen and are relatively loyal to the ratmen.
After the town is established, they will become residents of the town, which means they have the opportunity to escape back to the ratman territory and no longer have to live in fear of the undead.
"My Lord is merciful, you should be grateful and serve Him wholeheartedly."
"Under our arrangements, you will be heading to the border soon."
The Dark Knight transformed the information he received from the soul network and conveyed it to the people in front of him.
He saw excitement on some people's faces and knew what they were thinking.
You are too happy too early.
If you want to betray the undead, you have to ask our consent.
After conveying Li Ziyu's words, the Black Knight turned to look at the Skeleton Knight. The Skeleton Knight nodded slightly, and the Black Knight looked at everyone again.
"Line up and brand the undead."
When they heard that they were going to brand the undead, the expressions of many people present suddenly changed.
They were still thinking about returning to the ratman territory, but if they were branded with the mark of the undead, there would be no point in running away.
There are many slaves among the ratmen, and these slaves have ratman marks on their bodies. Everyone present knows very well what the racial mark means.
This is not simply a mark on the body with a branding iron, but a shackle with magical power.
Some people cowered back into the crowd, their movements unable to be hidden from the Dark Knight.
The Dark Knight pointed at the few people in the crowd who were trying to hide.
"Him, him, and him, bring them here!"
The skeleton undead stepped forward, parted the crowd, pulled out the few people who were called out, and led them towards the black warrior.
"Let me go!"
"I don't want to be a slave!"
These people struggled, and some even wrestled with the skeleton undead and beat them to pieces.
They didn't expect that it would be so easy to get rid of the skeleton undead, but they didn't have time to think too much and just turned around and ran.
But before they could take two steps, they heard the sound of horse hooves from behind, and the skeleton knight passed by them.
The person who was trying to escape suddenly froze in place, a line of blood slowly appeared on his neck, and his head fell to the ground.
"Line up and brand the undead."
The black warrior repeated it again without even looking at the people who escaped and were killed.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
This time everyone was obedient.
Life in recent days gave them the illusion that the undead were not as ferocious as they had imagined, which made those people feel that they could escape.
The Skeleton Knight used the sword in his hand to tell them that the undead are still undead, and if they want to resist, they must be prepared to be killed.
The first ones to step out of the crowd and be branded with the mark of the undead were the older and younger wanderers.
As wanderers, they felt the kindness of the undead. Living under the rule of the undead was at least better than wandering under the rule of the ratmen.
The older wanderer was very keenly aware that this was an opportunity!
Maybe they really have a chance to live a good life in the central area.
So he took the young wanderer and stepped forward first.
A skeleton knight came over, stood in front of him, and pointed his finger at his forehead.
There was a burning sensation on his forehead, as if someone had branded it with a branding iron, causing the older homeless man's face to turn pale instantly.
