Safeguarded the Borders for a Hundred Years, My Clan Was Burnt at the Stake - Chapter 25

After Melissa left the hut, she never returned to this place.

His four teammates were very shocked. They never thought that Melissa would actually become a member of the dark side.

Far away in the Duchy of St. Margaret, the Queen suddenly saw the magic jade pendant hanging on her waist. It was filled with the power of the source of darkness.

Mavis immediately took off the jade pendant hanging on her waist. After sensing it in her hand, he found that the source of Melissa’s life had completely disappeared.

What replaced it was the power of darkness in the jade pendant.

“Even Melissa has left me!” Queen Mavis stood on the wall of the fort in Kejins City and looked toward the east.

“What happened?!”

“I will investigate the cause of your death no matter what!” After saying this, she walked down the wall and returned to the camp.

Not long after, the team that did not wait for Melissa arrived at the fort and looked for Queen Mavis.

As the vice-captain, Giles immediately reported about Melissa’s childhood.

Mavis immediately explained to Giles, “Melissa will never come back!”

“Because a few days ago, her life force had completely dissipated.”

“What replaced it was darkness!” With that said, he took out the jade pendant.

“This is the jade pendant that formed a life contract with Melissa. If something were to happen to her, I can detect it immediately.”

“But now, the power that originally belonged to Melissa in this jade pendant has all disappeared!”

“It has all turned into darkness attribute energy!”

“This means that Melissa has met with an accident and has become one of them!”

Although she really wanted to prove that Melissa did not betray them, the jade pendant in her hand was not broken, so the remaining possibility was that Melissa had betrayed them!

However, Queen Mavis did not tell them this news. Even if she knew the details, she did not want to wake up and find out that Melissa would betray them.

Moreover, she had joined the dark faction!

‘Melissa, what did you experience when you fell to the ground that made you make such a choice?!’

The four people who left the fortress, except for the camp, were all in pain and suffering.

When they saw the jade pendant in the Queen’s hand, they knew that Melissa had betrayed them.

This was because this magic was not a secret spell, but very traditional magic. It could let the people they trusted confirm that they were still alive.

Vice-captain Giles squatted down by the roadside and cried, “Why? Why did this happen?”

“Melissa actually betrayed St. Margaret!”

“I don’t believe it!”

Giles’ words directly attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers. Elton and Abel immediately left with Giles in their arms.

In a private room in a tavern, the table was already filled with empty wine glasses.

Giles, who had already drunk, finally spoke his true thoughts. “I had even planned to propose to Melissa after this war!”

“Why! Why did this happen!”

With that, he threw the cup in his hand on the ground, and this loud noise directly alerted the waiter outside the door.

But with Abel’s explanation, the waiter took a tip and went out, not bothering them anymore.

“Giles, calm down!”

“Melissa is not dead now. She has just been eroded by the darkness. We still have a chance of getting her back!”

Hearing this, Giles stood up and grabbed Abel by the collar. “A chance?”

“Haven’t you seen the transformation of the undead?”

“A person who has been transformed into a dark creature can not be restored to a human again!”

Abel looked at Giles, who had lost his mind, and punched him in the face.

“Didn’t you see Queen Mavis’ jade pendant?!”

“The jade pendant didn’t break, which means that Melissa didn’t die!”

“Normally, transformation into undead is the transformation of someone who’s already dead, but Melissa was transformed while she was still living, so we still have a chance!”

After hearing Abel’s words, Giles seemed to have some thoughts in his mind. These thoughts only lasted for a while before he fainted due to alcohol.

Looking at the few people who were already drunk in the room, Abel did not want to move.

Just as Giles said, Melissa had been completely transformed into a dark creature. Even if he was a living being, there was nothing he could do.

So all of this was just wishful thinking.

Thinking of this, Abel could not help but cover his face and cry.

In the camp at Langford, Melissa had already returned to Willis.

She told him everything she knew about Bader.

“An army of 600,000 to 700,000 men?”

“It’s hard to deal with, but it’s not that hard!”

“Looks like I’ll have to make some preparations!”

She turned around and left the room, preparing to make arrangements for the war.

Before she could leave the room, she remembered that Melissa was still waiting for orders.

So they said to her, “Come with me!”

“Lord Hall doesn’t have many warriors around him, so you all will definitely have a chance to fight in this war!”

“Perform well, and you will get a chance to become stronger!”

Hearing this, Melissa smiled slightly. “Yes! I will follow your orders, my Lord.”

Within the undead, the thing that everyone wanted the most was to have their skills improved by Hall.

That was because only after their strength increased would they be able to become the Supreme Lord Hall’s capable subordinates.

After the seven undead Lords of the north changed their goals, they had a meeting to discuss their war plans.

Because through various investigations, they had already learned about all of St. Margaret’s combat strength.

The sources of this information were all sent by Hall.

Although Hall could use his own strength to suppress the seven Lords, this was still a violent method. This time, they, who were of the dark race, hated it.

Therefore, after obtaining Melissa’s memories, Hall told them about St Margaret’s military might.

However, Hall did not tell them the true combat strength because St Margaret’s army was a little too powerful, having close to a million soldiers.

Hall only told them they had about half of the number, and that was enough for the seven Lords to start preparing.

Because they had to fight an army of close to 500,000, the seven undead Lords would definitely need to prepare close to a million reserve soldiers.

Hall’s main goal was to eliminate St. Margaret and the undead creatures from the Dark Eternal Domain.

This way, he would have enough time to prepare for the final reunification of the Fergus Empire.

Even if they were of the same race, Hall would not allow these undead creatures from other worlds to occupy his own world.

He must become the King!
