"Could it be that Sundberg has fallen?" The noble knight widened his eyes and instantly thought that Torento was going to the royal capital to ask for help. It was no small matter for a city to be captured by monsters.
Cities are not built casually. Every city has a temple. Relying on the power of the temple, they can resist monsters.
Without the temple, the city would be easily breached by hordes of monsters, and the city walls would hardly be able to withstand the monster attacks.
The temple is the center of a city.
The fall of a city meant they lost a temple, and it would be difficult to build a new city in the future. Therefore, when a city was in danger, they would do everything they could to take it back.
"No, no, no, Sandburg is fine and has not fallen. We blocked those damn monsters with the help of the great holy corpse." Seeing that the noble knight had misunderstood, Torento hurriedly explained.
"Since it hasn't fallen, why did you go to the royal capital? Wait, you just said what you relied on to block the monsters? The holy corpse? The holy corpse of your Sandburg has revived?" The noble knight suddenly reacted and asked in shock.
"They haven't revived yet, but aren't they right in front of you?" Torento turned sideways, motioning the noble knight to look at the undead team behind him, and said as a matter of course.
"What! You mean, this is... the Holy Corpse's team?!" The noble knight's eyes almost popped out and he said in astonishment.
Torento glared at the noble knight and nodded wordlessly.
The noble knight's eyes were different when he looked at the undead team again. He was still suspicious, but he also had a respect for them.
Regardless of whether these strange and terrifying guys are the great holy corpses in the legend, the fact that they saved Sundberg and helped Sundberg defeat the monster makes them worthy of his respect.
The noble knight recalled the appearance of the legendary holy corpse in his mind, trying to match his imagined image with the undead before him.
It is true that the temple belongs to the undead, but the undead in the temple are not necessarily skeleton undead. They may also be ghosts, dead souls, liches, zombies, etc., so there is a huge difference in their image.
After thinking for a long time, the noble knight still couldn't match the image he imagined with the undead. The image of the undead was really too different. At least the knight didn't know that the holy corpse could also look like an elephant.
"Pastor Torento, you have proved your identity, but I cannot let you go. I need to report to the city lord and ask him to make the decision." The noble knight was also unable to make a decision.
Since he couldn't confirm whether it was the holy corpse, he couldn't let the undead army pass. This was an army of thousands of people. If the other party had ill intentions, Cuisen Mountain City might not be able to stop them.
However, the noble knight did not do the same as Jonathan, and he decided to report it.
"Well, okay, we'll wait here." Torento said understandingly.
He had been a shepherd and knew the difficulties of his subordinates. After all, they were not the city lords. They could make decisions on small matters, but had to ask for instructions on big matters.
The noble knight turned his horse around and returned to the team. He sent a soldier back to deliver the letter, while the others still looked at the undead team in front of them vigilantly, not daring to relax at all.
Torento returned to the undead team and explained the situation to Li Ziyu.
"It feels a bit troublesome, so let's just go." Li Ziyu said a little irritably.
He was anxious to retrieve his Undead Castle and didn't want to delay on these matters. It was originally a matter of supply, and he came here only because it was convenient to supply in the city. Now he had to explain and report, which was too time-consuming.
If they don't resupply in the city, they can just hunt in the wilderness. The undead are very familiar with this kind of thing and there is no pressure on them.
"Master, we are already here, why not wait a while?" Torento advised.
"We don't have much time, they'd better hurry up." Considering that he had a good impression of Torento, Li Ziyu was willing to give him this face and turned back to the Elephant Fortress.
The palace of the city lord of Cuisen Mountain City.
"What? He said it was holy corpses? Thousands of holy corpses?!" The mayor of Cuisen Mountain City was a smart old man with a goatee. He stood up from his seat with a look of surprise on his face and asked repeatedly.
"Yes, that's what Torento, the shepherd of Sundberg, said." The soldier who came to report nodded honestly in agreement.
The mayor of Cuisen Mountain City frowned and thought. He couldn't confirm whether it was true or not, but the knight in front had verified the other party's identity and knew that he was indeed from Sundberg.
But the thousands of holy corpses, including the skeleton elephants, were completely different from the holy corpses he knew.
As an old man, he knows a lot more than others.
Young people nowadays no longer believe in the existence of the holy corpse, but the old mayor of Cuisen Mountain City knows that the holy corpse really exists.
It’s nothing, the old city lord has seen it.
When he was young, his family often took him to the temple to pray.
Children are always naughty. During a prayer one day, he sneaked away and got lost in the temple. He accidentally entered a secret space, where he saw the holy remains.
He had no way to describe the appearance of the holy corpse. If he had to say it, it was a glowing transparent body with a human appearance.
If Li Ziyu were here, he would tell him that those were ghosts or dead souls, and there were millions of ghosts in his castle of the dead.
From then on, whenever his family took him to pray, he would sneak into that secret space to see the Holy Corpse. The Holy Corpse seemed to like him very much and told him many things, including that the Holy Corpse had many forms.
