The mountainous area is a place where God feeds people. There is no winter here, and the lowest temperature is more than ten degrees Celsius above zero. Coupled with the fertile soil and abundant water resources, the plains in the mountainous area can be cultivated all the time and produce huge amounts of food.
As long as the indigenous people living here are hardworking enough, they will not go hungry and their lives are very rich.
Looking down from the sky, one can see vast expanses of arable land, full and green, with small black dots constantly moving among them. They are the hardworking farmers and serfs. Four wide avenues lead directly to the central city.
The city surrounded by farmland is called Cuicao City. It is an agricultural city located in the plains of a mountainous area, close to the regional border.
Cuicao City has tall walls built of huge stones. In addition to corridors for deploying guards, there are also watchtowers, arrow towers, artillery ports and other military facilities.
Built on the border, Cuicao City has experienced several foreign attacks. They learned from their mistakes and built city walls and other military facilities to resist the foreign races that came out of the wasteland.
Tap tap tap...
The sound of the cavalry running made the farmers working in the fields raise their heads and look over vigilantly. The plains were not peaceful at all. Bandits were rampant and would rob villages and cities from time to time. Most of these bandits were cavalry who came and went without a trace.
When the farmers saw the approaching cavalry, they all widened their eyes with expressions of disbelief and horror.
It was a human skeleton, riding a mount similar to a camel skeleton, wearing armor, with weapons on his waist and a large flag in his hand. The sound of running was exactly that made by a camel skeleton running.
"Am I seeing things? Is that a skeleton cavalryman?"
"No, you're not mistaken. I saw the Skeleton Cavalry too."
"But how can a skeleton move?"
The farmers whispered to each other and stood quietly at the edge of the field under the cover of the crops, secretly watching the skeleton camel cavalry approaching from afar.
Some clever farmers paid attention to the big flag in the hands of the skeleton camel cavalry, which had a skull wearing a high crown and a jewel-inlaid scepter lying horizontally below the skull.
What force's flag is this?
The farmers were completely confused. They had never seen such a flag before, and had no idea which force would use such a pattern as its logo.
The farmers did not realize that their hiding and secretly observing behavior was meaningless. They had already been discovered in the soul fire of the undead. However, the skeleton camel cavalry of the Unos Dynasty did not receive any battle orders, so they ignored it and galloped forward along the road, heading straight for their destination, Green Grass City.
Ding ding ding——
The Cuicao City guards standing on the city wall saw the skeleton camel cavalry rushing towards them from afar. They had never seen such a strange thing before, so they did not dare to be negligent and quickly rang the alarm bell beside them.
The alarm bell rang, and the farmers near Cuicao City ran towards the city gate, which was slowly closing. At the same time, the soldiers rushed to the city wall, looking vigilantly at the skeleton camel cavalry approaching from a distance.
"What's going on?"
The heroic city defense chief, with a sharp sword slung around his waist, hurried up the city wall and asked the soldiers in a fast but steady voice.
The soldier didn't answer, but pointed at the approaching skeleton camel cavalry and said, "Captain of the City Defense, take a look for yourself. I can't explain what that thing is."
The city defense chief, who was about thirty years old and in the prime of his life, frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied, but still looked in the direction the soldier was pointing. The moment he saw the skeleton camel cavalry clearly, he was also stunned.
He understood why the soldier didn't explain it clearly and let him see it himself. It was really hard to explain.
A skeleton cavalryman without flesh and blood, but still able to move?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.
Could it be a wizard's illusion?
No, no, no, it's impossible. Too many people saw it, at least the soldiers on the city wall saw it. How powerful a wizard must be to make so many people see the same illusion.
The city defense chief glanced at the soldiers around him inconspicuously and found that their expressions were dull, but there was surprise in their eyes.
The skeleton camel cavalry carried the battle flag of the New Unos Dynasty and galloped all the way to the outside of Cuicao City. They stopped about a hundred steps away, raised the battle flag high, waved it towards the soldiers on the city wall, and then arrogantly stuck the battle flag into the ground.
A gust of wind blew, and the battle flags fluttered, rustling.
The archers of Cuicao City were fully capable of shooting the Skeleton Camel Cavalry at this distance, but they did not dare to shoot without the order from the city defense chief.
The city defense chief had someone take out something resembling a trumpet, put it to his mouth, cleared his throat, and shouted to the skeleton camel cavalry, "Who are you...? What brings you to Green Grass City?"
The Skeleton Camel Cavalryman was not very smart. When he came, Nubis told him what to say, so what he had to do now was to convey Nubis' words to the people of Cuicao City through soul transmission.
"The Unos Dynasty from the desert declares that this place belongs to the Unos Dynasty."
"I'll give you three days. After three days, open the city gates and wait for the Unos Dynasty warriors to enter the city and take over."
"No resistance, surrender all weapons."
"Respect the command of Nubis, King of Unos, and worship the great God of the Dead and Bones as your god."
"If you disobey, the army of the Unos Dynasty will razed your city to the ground. No one will be spared. You will bear witness to the rise of the Unos Dynasty with your blood and lives."
