#270 - Section 270
“Secret Art of the Golden Behemoth: Inheritance of the Golden Behemoth Royal Family, mastering the secret method of emotions and power, mastering the secret method, can cultivate Golden Behemoths.”
“Body of the Sea: A demigod body condensed from the power of the sea, capable of elementalizing the body, achieving a certain degree of immortality.”
The generous rewards listed made Allen's mouth dry. If the system task prompt hadn't been completely different from the past, Allen would have jumped up with joy.
This time, the task was not a main quest, not a side quest, not a war, but an epic quest.
The word 'epic' was enough to make Allen tense up.
Clearly, the system judged that this task was completely different from any previous one.
This situation might be beyond Allen's imagination.
Allen found it hard to imagine what a vengeful undead from an ancient magic empire would look like.
Seeing Allen's furrowed brows, Saint Cecile Mina also sensed something was wrong. “Allen, what's wrong?”
Saint Cecile Mina asked gently.
Allen gave a wry smile: “Cecile Mina, perhaps we need to face your old friends.” Saint Cecile Mina was stunned; she didn't quite understand Allen's meaning.
Chapter 386 Saint Cecile Mina Goes South, Preparing to Activate the Underground Ruins Defense System
Looking at the woman in his arms with a bewildered expression, Allen sighed slightly.
“Cecile Mina, we may have encountered a little trouble. This trouble comes from the former Atlantis Empire, or rather, the undead of the Atlantis Empire.”
Allen recounted what he had seen and heard at the bottom of the sea, and Saint Cecile Mina's expression changed slightly.
“Allen, are you saying that you encountered the undead of Atlantis at the bottom of the sea?!”
As the most outstanding genius of Atlantis, Saint Cecile Mina even inherited the characteristic Atlantis profession, the Ocean Singer, only abandoning the part of the Ocean Singer's abilities that eroded divine authority.
But undeniably, even so, the Ocean Singer is one of the most powerful professions today.
Saint Cecile Mina was somewhat shocked at this moment, followed by pain and sorrow.
She believed Allen's words. From the moment he took out the Atlantis knight's token, Saint Cecile Mina vaguely felt a sense of unease.
She didn't expect it to be about the Atlantis Empire.
This great empire appeared in this world in another form: undead.
Undead, creatures of the evil order alignment, are another life form after the death of living beings. To be precise, they are no longer people of Atlantis.
“It's the curse of the Sea God…”
Saint Cecile Mina was silent for a while, then slowly stood up from Allen's arms. The woman who had always had a gentle expression now looked as cold as frost.
The usual tenderness and smile had disappeared from her eyes, leaving only a feeling of anger.
Allen sighed slightly and walked to Saint Cecile Mina's side. He could roughly understand Saint Cecile Mina's emotions.
However, understanding was understanding, but for him, these undead were enemies that must be eliminated.
“Cecile Mina, although I don't want to say it, I still need to tell you that these Atlantis undead seem to be targeting us as a way to vent their anger, so they are my enemies. If you can't face it, stay in the capital.”
Allen said to Saint Cecile Mina; he would not force this woman to take action.
“No, Allen, I am angry, but that is at the gods who played with Atlantis.”
A glimmer of anger flashed in Saint Cecile Mina's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
Atlantis was her past, Allen was her future, and she understood this very well.
“Don't worry, Allen, I know what we are facing. They are not my compatriots; they are just undead who insult my compatriots. I will personally bury them.”
Saint Cecile Mina said firmly, with a hint of sadness in her expression.
Allen patted her shoulder: “Don't be too nervous; we still have enough time.”
The system prompted that in three months, the undead of Atlantis would launch an attack on the Allen Duchy.
These three months might not be much to others, but for Allen, it was enough to do many things. “I understand. I'll go south first. I am an Ocean Singer; the southern sea is my home ground.” Saint Cecile Mina said immediately.
“Okay, but Cecile Mina, be careful. Among the undead, there may also be some extraordinary existences.” Allen thought for a moment and agreed to Saint Cecile Mina's request, while reminding her.
“I understand, don't worry, Allen. Mere undead, I'll kill as many as come.”
Saint Cecile Mina smiled: “I won't let them destroy my second home.” Allen also smiled when he heard this. He didn't let Saint Cecile Mina leave immediately.
Those undead came from the Atlantis Empire at the bottom of the sea, and they still had a different smell on them.
Pollution.
Yes, in addition to the power of death, these undead seemed to be able to pollute matter.
Like the filth of the abyss, they polluted the sea.
This pollution was similar to the abyss pollution; his sea monsters were polluted in this way.
If it was really like the abyss, the situation would be much more troublesome than he thought.
Allen was a cautious person, and he immediately took some protective measures for Saint Cecile Mina.
After possessing the power of the Mind Dragon, he could easily deal with all kinds of mental pollution, and even directly isolate this pollution.
Allen carefully blessed Saint Cecile Mina with the power of the Mind Dragon before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Saint Ceciliana's lips curled slightly as she watched Allen's cautious expression.
She lowered her head and kissed Allen.
Allen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and responded to Saint Ceciliana, and soon he carried Saint Ceciliana into the bedroom.
The next day, Saint Ceciliana led a group of people south early in the morning.
Now that she knew the enemy's attack time, it would be a disservice to the system's prompt if she didn't prepare the defense line properly.
Allen sent the Orc engineering team to the southern coastline.
At this time, the disadvantage of the vast coastline was revealed.
A vast coastline meant that their defense line needed to be very long.
This was disadvantageous for the Allen Duchy.
However, this was a natural geographical environment, and there was no way to change it.
Even Allen could only create some stone walls through magic; it was very difficult to completely change the environment.
Allen thought, let the Orc engineering teams build the defense line first, and then the mages could create some stone walls on the coastline to block the undead.
After Saint Ceciliana left the royal capital with a team of soldiers, knights, mages, and Orc engineering teams, Allen immediately summoned his ministers.
He needed to get his ministers to act immediately to prepare for the next three months.
Soon, within the huge palace, the ministers had been summoned.
Sparrow and the others bowed to Allen and then looked at Allen with some curiosity.
Today was not a day for an audience, so the Duke must have summoned them for some urgent matter.
Allen didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Everyone, in three months, we will be threatened from the depths of the sea."
After speaking, Allen told his ministers about his discovery in the southern sea.
"What?! Undead?!"
Sparrow's face changed; the Minister of Finance's face turned green.
Undead represented death and looked extremely terrifying, which was extremely unfriendly to humans.
Most of the legends about the undead on the continent were bad news.
And he was just an ordinary person. If he faced a human army, he would not be afraid at all, but when facing the undead, Sparrow was a little scared.
The other ministers were also somewhat worried, after all, this time the enemy was the undead.
"Don't panic. Dealing with the undead is a matter for me and my soldiers. What you need to ensure is the stability and operation of the duchy."
Allen said calmly; he needed his internal system to run at high speed to prepare him for fighting the undead.
"We understand, Duke."
Soon, the ministers understood their tasks and left to prepare their own affairs.
Allen did not stop them; he only left Marco, the military officer, behind. The civil officials could help him stabilize the country, but military officers like Marco were the main combat force in the war.
Allen asked Marco: "Marco, how is the training of the knights under your command?"
Marco knelt on the ground, "Reporting to the Duke, they are now willing to fight to the death for the Duke."
"Well, the plan needs to be changed. You need to speed up the training progress and select the six most outstanding knights within a month!"
Allen said calmly.
"Yes, Duke." Marco looked determined and strode out.
"Alas, what kind of luck is this." Only Allen was left in the hall. He looked at the token in his hand, and Allen smiled bitterly again.
It was really a case of sitting at home and disaster falling from the sky. Not only was the ocean's yield decreasing, but more importantly, he knew that a large wave of undead was about to attack. He finally knew why this time the rewards were all items to speed up the growth of the dragon; it turned out that it also wanted him to improve his strength as soon as possible.
Was there anything worse than this in the world? Allen only felt a headache. Although he knew that most of the people and territories of the Ates Empire were swallowed by the abyss, no one knew the situation at that time.
Who knew how many undead were left in the sea?
Even if it was only one percent of the population, that was definitely a terrifying number.
However, it was not all bad news, that was, the sea was very large, and the coastline where the continent and the sea met was also very long.
In other words, the duchies that needed to face the undead were not only the Allen Duchy.
Moreover, as a duchy, Allen said unceremoniously that he possessed top combat power that even a kingdom did not have. This strength was enough to give him more capital than other duchies!
In addition, he also had the Soul of the Sea to keep the surrounding sea area pure. As long as the sea area was pure, the sea monsters were a terrifying combat force in the sea.
Moreover, the coastal duchies and the kingdoms behind them could all be regarded as his allies; he could cooperate with them (from Nord).
After all, they should understand the principle of mutual dependence.
Allen looked at the token in his hand absentmindedly. This was the waist card of a high-level knight.
He still remembered that although the undead before was vulnerable to him, it also had the strength of a golden knight, which was stronger than most of the duchy's people. "Fortunately, after becoming undead, their combat power has not changed much."
"It seems that we need to speed up the progress." Allen said to himself, now he had to do everything possible to improve the strength of his duchy.
Nowadays, not only cultivation was necessary, but also technology. After all, knights and mages were a minority, but technology could allow most people to explode with powerful power in a short period of time.
