Chapter 785: Chapter 447 Ambush!_2

“Yes, but it’s under the control of the rebels. They wield the Undead Scepter and command the Undead guards to besiege the City Lord.” Nevin replied.

Durken and Silver Coin exchanged glances. It seems they’re afraid of exactly what is happening now; any shift of power in one place could potentially spark a fight. Among so many cities, a few Scepters are bound to fall into the hands of those with ambition.

“Why did you think of coming here to borrow troops? How many undead guards do you need to gain an advantage? How many undead guards does the other side have?” Silver Coin asked.

Nevin said: “In our patrol route, Rapids Fortress is the most orderly place and it’s also the closest to Iron Sand City. There should be extra Undead guards that can be deployed. Rapids Fortress, located on a mountain, is easy to defend. Deploying a portion of your forces won’t endanger your safety.”

“I see.” Silver Coin looked enlightened then rubbed his hands together and asked, “Captain Neiwen, how many Undead guards do you need to mobilize, and what rewards are you prepared to offer?”

“Huh? Reward? Er, there’s… no reward. Can you mobilize fifty thousand?” Nevin was stunned, as if he had heard something incredible.

“What? No money? Free… uh…” As a merchant, the last thing Silver Coin wanted to hear was ‘no money’.

Even if a king wants to mobilize the forces of his knights, he also needs to provide food and wages. You, as a captain of a knight’s group, are summoning forces from a city and yet are not prepared to pay?

“Captain Neiwen, I don’t have the authority to decide on this matter.” Silver Coin skillfully used the ‘Divine Technique: Shirk,’ which everyone knows. If it doesn’t concern oneself, pass the buck.

Nevin smiled shyly and said: “I’m sorry, Mr. Silver Coin, there’s no need for you to decide. I’m not here to request, but to inform. I have higher authority than the city lord. I can mobilize the grave guards of any city.”

As he was speaking, Nevin took out a clearly more exquisite Undead Scepter. The top of the Undead Scepter that Basoluo picked up was a grey skull, but the one Nevin took out was a silver skeleton head. Just the material alone was a grade higher.

Silver Coin was taken aback. Such domineering words, yet Nevin said them so modestly. The contrast was astounding.

“If you have higher authority, why not directly order the Undead guards of the Sand City to help you suppress the rebellion?” Durken interrupted.

“I did order, but they seemed to be under the control of some secret technique and resisted my command.” Nevin finished speaking and then apologized to everyone, “I’m sorry, I have to summon the Undead guards now. Be careful.”

Raising the Undead Scepter, the eye sockets of the skull on top lit up with ghostly blue flames. Nevin shouted loudly: “Rise, undead souls, obey my command, awaken from the kingdom of slumber!”

Ange felt that weak power once again, and, naturally, he struggled again.

The fire inside the skull’s eye sockets went out with a sizzle.

Nevin’s face changed dramatically.

Seeing this, Basoluo shouted excitedly: “It’s gone out! His has burnt out too! His scepter seemed more advanced than the one I received, yet it has broken down as well? Just how poor is the quality of these Undead Scepters?”

Hearing his words, Nevin’s face turned red, shouting in agitation: “Idiot! There’s a powerful soul in the graveyard, and the Scepter offended him, causing him to disperse it! You’re the idiot! Your Scepter was also dispersed and you didn’t mention it earlier!”

“Huh?” Basoluo was startled. A powerful being? Offended? Not broken down, but dispersed?

He didn’t know what to think. Basoluo glanced fearfully at Ange.

Nevin knelt down on one knee, shouting urgently: “May I ask who is present? I didn’t know you were here, please forgive my offense. I didn’t do it on purpose. I came to mobilize troops to suppress the rebellion in Iron Sand City. Please approve, mighty one!”

Nagris leaned in and whispered: “Ange, did you extinguish his staff?”

Ange cocked his head.

Just by looking at his pose, one can tell that Nagris guessed correctly. He said, “This guy seems pretty decent, quite polite. Should we help him?”

Durken also turned his head; his face bore a similar expression. Everyone had a pretty good impression of Nevin who showed respect and kindness, even willing to maintain order at this point.

Even Silver Coin, he was merely opposed to ‘not giving money,’ which was a merchant’s instinct, but he had no bad impression of Nevin himself.

Ange nodded.

With his nod, the cemetery stirred. All the visible graves opened, and the skeleton zombies climbed out and poured out the gate.

Bada kept an eye on the situation. What he saw further confirmed his guess. Lord Ange was indeed the mighty being that dispersed the Undead Scepters. So, the Scepters weren’t broken after all.

No wonder only Lord Ange could use the Scepter. I am so stupid!

Meanwhile, Nevin shouted in excitement, “Thank you, mighty one! Thank you, I will definitely bring back the Undead guards intact, not one more or less.”

Having said that, he leaped up, his fighting spirit surging and carrying him into the sky towards the Bone Dragon hovering above.

“Not one more or less? It’s fine if they’re intact, but how can there be more?” Wondering this in his heart, Nagris saw Ange following the tide formed by the Undead guards, walking down the mountain. Little Angel and Little Zombie followed along.
