The logic of the rising tide lifting all boats, this baron's subordinate still understands.

He had already begun to fantasize about controlling the kingdom completely, as a member of the Five Flowers Alliance, and living a life of glory and wealth.

The subordinate followed closely behind the Excited Vedler and his wife , and they soon arrived at the Five Flowers Alliance's base in the Royal City.

Upon entering the secret base through a special passage, the subordinate was stunned.

He saw that the central location of this secret base had been transformed into a huge altar, completely constructed of bones.

A scroll emitting a sinister purple light floated above the altar, and beneath it were groups of people, likely numbering in the hundreds, all with their limbs broken and bound.

Most of these people appeared to be villagers from other lands, and a small number were newcomers from the Adventurer's Association, who had received the "grace" of the Five Flowers Alliance.

If Reji were here, he would probably recognize a small number of them.

They were the group of adventurers he had met at the Lanqi Artifacts store, who seemed to have taken a large order and were gathering money to buy potions.

At that time, these new adventurers who had just arrived in the Royal City were full of aspirations and longing for the future, but now, with their tendons severed and trapped in the "blood pool" of the altar, their faces were filled with fear and regret.

"Vedler, how is the fundraising going?"

A noblewoman walked slowly from behind a curtain, holding a glass of red wine. She took a small sip of the red liquid in the glass and soon showed an expression of intoxication and enjoyment.

"Lady Lisa, please rest assured, the fundraising is going more smoothly than expected, and it has already far exceeded our initial estimate of 5 million gold coins."

"Hmph, not bad, you don't need me to teach you how to use this money, do you?"

"Of course, the money will be returned in full to the nobles and celebrities who support our Five Flowers Alliance, and the money donated by ordinary people, the Adventurer's Association, the Royal Academy, and other institutions and organizations will be divided 30-70.

My Lady, the seven shares that belong to you have already been sent to your mansion by my men."

Upon hearing Vedler's understanding, the noblewoman laughed.

Feeling good, she handed her wine glass to the side, and suddenly a servant walked out from the shadows behind her, taking it with his pale bone hand.

That's right, a pale bone hand.

At this sight, Vedler's subordinate stared wide-eyed at the human servant beside the noblewoman.

No, it couldn't be called a "human" servant.

Because it was a skeleton, completely built of bones without any flesh.

After the skeleton took the noblewoman's wine glass, it went to a table nearby where a pregnant woman was tied up and unconscious.

With one hand holding the wine glass and the other holding a knife, the skeleton cut open the pregnant woman's stomach.

The pregnant woman was woken up by the pain, but her hands and feet were bound and her mouth was gagged, so she could only make strange cries, watching as the skeleton cut open her belly and took out a blood-red pomegranate.

This was the same Crystal Red Pomegranate that had appeared in Ariel's dinner before.

The skeleton placed the pomegranate in its palm and squeezed it with its bony hand, causing the fruit to burst open and the juice to flow down its hand. The skeleton then used the other hand to hold the wine glass and catch the juice.

These actions were not complicated, but the skeleton was still a bit stiff, and when it finally handed the wine glass back to the lady, the juice had spilled all over the place.

However, the lady didn't mind and was even happy, saying, "Thank you, my little sweetheart."

Vedler couldn't help but admire and praise, "It seems that Lady Lisa is already quite skilled in using the Necromancer's [Scroll of the Dead]."

"I do like these little sweethearts, but unfortunately, they consume too much. To summon a single undead soldier like this, at least 50 people are needed," the noblewoman said regretfully, shaking her head and letting the skeleton servant retreat.

From the shadows behind her, it could be seen that there were at least 20 such skeletons in the Five Flowers Alliance.

Each one was her little sweetheart.

" My Lady, there is one more thing, as you guessed, after receiving the Empire's diplomatic notice, the Eldest Princess couldn't sit still. She probably guessed the intention of the notice and has been trying to win over other forces in the Royal City lately."

"My subordinate has just received news that the Eagle Mercenary Group has reached an agreement with the Eldest Princess and has the protection of a platinum-level adventurer. I think we should use that ceremony."

"I see, then we really have no choice. Since the Eldest Princess has an additional fourth-stage power, we cannot fall behind. Otherwise, we will mess things up, and we won't be able to explain it to the envoy."

The noblewoman sighed pretentiously and then walked up to the altar.

Looking at the people struggling and begging for mercy in the blood pool of the altar, the noblewoman clicked her tongue in pity and said in a seductive voice, "Oh, you all heard it, right? This is not our Five Flowers Alliance's fault. It's the Eldest Princess who forced us.

If you want to hate someone, go hate Princess Yuffie."

As the noblewoman's voice fell, her eyes flashed with a strange purple light.

The purple light resonated with the scroll floating above the altar, and the complex and cryptic spells in the scroll immediately appeared and acted on the entire altar.

Under the influence of the scroll's spells, the bloody pool of the altar also lit up, and the adventurers and villagers in the pool began to convulse violently, as if suffering from severe pain, and struggled frantically in the blood pool.

But it was to no use.

Their life force was quickly taken away from these "sacrifices," their blood and flesh consumed and turned into energy by the altar, and their souls extracted and refined into bone fire.

In just a few breaths, more than three to four hundred people in the huge altar were brutally killed.

And the bone fire condensed from them as sacrifices was unprecedentedly powerful. Under the spell of the scroll, their bones began to assemble.

Eventually, in exchange for hundreds of lives, a giant skeleton appeared in the center of the altar, several times larger than the previous skeleton servant, standing at four or five meters tall, wearing a full set of undead armor, and wielding a heavy sword.

This was a Death Knight.

A fourth-stage undead!

Immune to all third-stage and lower magical attacks, it possessed magic resistance, strong poison resistance, fire resistance, and many other effect resistances. It could also use the powerful fourth-stage combat skill "Death Blade"!

It could be said that this Death Knight alone could sweep away the elite knights of the entire kingdom without being excessive!

Lisa was extremely excited as the summoner of the Death Knight. She gazed at the giant skeleton in the center of the altar with a loving look, as if she were looking at her husband.

The tall and straight figure, the hard bones, the thick skull, and especially the powerful aura emitted by the fourth-stage being made Lisa breathless and hot all over.

'Ah~ , just looking at it made my breath quicken and my body hot~'

Lisa couldn't wait and twisted her voluptuous body to approach the Death Knight.

However, unexpectedly, the Death Knight didn't seem to appreciate its summoner and might still be unstable after being summoned.

The Death Knight directly slapped Lisa, who was infatuated and approaching it, and knocked her down.

The other members of the Five Flowers Alliance present were shocked and wanted to help, but they were also afraid and scared of the terrifying Death Knight.

However, Lady Lisa, who was the victim, crawled up from the ground and not only was she not angry, but her infatuated gaze became even more intense.

Even though she was slapped and knocked down by her summoned creature, it seemed to stimulate Lisa, and her already wet legs were now completely soaked.

Because she was already lowly and despicable in front of such a powerful undead creature.

But it didn't matter; Lisa was confident that she could tame it and make this "big guy" completely obey her commands.

"You few, go down."

"Wha-what?"

The subordinate brought by Vedler was stunned, and Lady Lisa actually wanted him to go up? To the front of the terrifying Death Knight?

Before he could react, he was directly pushed down to the altar by his own master.

Similarly, there were also some ordinary members of the Five Flowers Alliance.

The members struggled and screamed, but the Death Knight showed no mercy this time and began to slaughter them as if it had found its prey.

In the midst of the killing and screaming, blood and flesh splattered, and after paying the price of more than a dozen lives, the Death Knight roared to the sky, seemingly satisfied.

This time, when Lisa approached, the Death Knight still ignored her, but at least it was no longer hostile towards her.

And that was enough.

"Good, my baby, that's right."

"Remember, in the future, you listen to Mommy, and Mommy will satisfy whatever you want."

"Yes, that's it, this is Mommy's most beloved and cherished baby!"

Beside her, Vedler felt disgusted, but he couldn't hide the envy and admiration in his eyes.

If he also had such a Death Knight, he probably wouldn't perform any better than Lisa is now.

No!

He must also seize this opportunity and strive to let the Empire's envoy take a fancy to his daughter, let Ariel go to seduce and please the envoy.

If the envoy is happy, he might also bestow powerful treasures like the [Scroll of the Dead] from the Empire, allowing him to also have a terrifying Death Knight.

Thinking of this, Count Vedler's heart was burning with desire.
