Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 598: Chapter 396 The Undead Tribe that Shakes the Region

Hill was a bit caught off guard when he heard the piece of information he had intended to secretly inquire about.

The actions of the Undead Tribe should still follow some patterns, shouldn’t they? He felt that these people were unnecessarily anxious.

Unless the God of Travel himself decides to participate in the war, the Undead Tribe likely wouldn’t target the Yellow Name Neutral Faction first. There are so many Red Name countries on Earth!

Unless they don’t know the principles the Undead Tribe uses when choosing enemies. Did one of the Neutral Deities attack the Undead Tribe first?

Actually, Yellow Names are indeed within the range the Undead Tribe can attack. However, if Red Names are worth 100 Military Exploits, Yellow Names are worth only half, and if these Yellow Names are highly virtuous, their exploit points might even be deducted.

Therefore, the Undead Tribe generally only targets Yellow Names after all the Red Names have been eliminated.

They always try to find a balance between experience and Military Exploits.

So if it’s mostly Neutral leaning towards good, the majority of the Undead Tribe wouldn’t attack them, as they calculate their gains and losses very precisely.

However, if the God of Travel and his followers show hostility toward the Undead Tribe and attack first, they naturally turn Red in the eyes of the Undead Tribe.

When comparing Evil Forces with sudden enemies, it’s not necessarily clear whom the Undead Tribe would strike first!

After all, the enemy might be so frightened that they immediately lay down their weapons and suddenly turn back to Yellow Name.

Hill could only helplessly look around the entire auction hall, the atmosphere as tense as if everyone were about to go to their deaths.

In the various praises passed down from the God of Travel, he indeed resembles the original host, preferring to sightsee rather than meddle in others’ affairs.

Since he is also worshiped by Wandering Traders in other countries, his Divine Power is not weak. Since he has no intentions of encroaching on others’ territories, most deities tend not to trouble him.

The reason Tevalon has been able to develop its commerce is also that neighboring Winterland has no interest in the outside world, while the other three neighboring countries are weaker than Tevalon.

The greatest trouble Tevalon has faced since its foundation has been from thieves, who also have their deity.

Thus, this God of Travel, who rarely makes enemies among the gods, now also has an eternal enemy in the guardian of thieves.

Hill does not believe that the God of Travel would be the first to enter the war, as the army of Tevalon is merely for show.

Unless that behind-the-scenes manipulator intends to brazenly appear amidst the gaze of Coron and the World Tree to directly provoke the World Will against the Undead Tribe, it’s impossible for these deities to unite against the Undead Tribe.

They always observe for a period of time first.

Coron is not a being who can keep secrets; in many ways, the elves are much like him. The Father of Elves, with lovers and friends everywhere, likely has already spread news of this interesting world far and wide.

Hill doesn’t know how many real deities beyond this world are watching this place. The Undead Tribe is about to become famous throughout the Multiverse.

The auctioneer continued to enhance the atmosphere.

But, the fact that they can put up so many weapons and equipment for public auction shows that Tevalon has not yet decided to enter the war.

Unless both the Nobles and the King are fools.

As for the atmosphere becoming so serious, that’s quite normal; it’s human nature to think of danger in times of peace.

It’s like if someone in the neighboring complex had a car accident, one might rush to take their own car to the garage to ensure it is still safe.

Moreover, the Undead Tribe not only eradicates nations, but they have also annihilated several deities while inhabiting human bodies, which is truly terrifying for those who have lived under the dominion of deities for thousands of years.

”However, the only consolation is that so far, the Undead Tribe has been targeting those akin to the Dark Kingdom of Lady Venom,” Lawson said, frowning. ”The first deity to fall at their hands was the Shadow Dragon.

This Dragon God, who has always enjoyed consuming human flesh, probably couldn’t resist the urge to eat when he saw a large number of the Undead appearing in his forest.

So it was quite normal that he ended up being surrounded and slain by the Undead Tribe.

At that time, although the deities were vigilant about the emergence of the Undead Tribe, the Temple didn’t appear as anxious as it is now.

After all, although called a god, the Shadow Dragon was actually just a Dragon Beast with divinity, and no deity truly regarded him highly.

He merely stayed in his own forest and only occasionally came out to consume humans.

The deities didn’t bother to intervene.

But if it really came to a fight, the Shadow Dragon was indeed feared by no deity.

What first attracted the deities’ attention about these Undead was their formidable power.

In our previous wars, it was already remarkable to have a few 20th-level Legendary strongmen participate, but this time, tens of thousands appeared!

Even those who followed them into battle were all above Level 16! There were millions of them! That is the reason even deities have fallen. In our world, only deities can resist these invaders!

People like us, once we lose the protection of the deities, can only wait to die!

That’s a war of annihilation!”

Hill was stunned for a moment. Only a small portion of the Undead? Where did the others go?

And moreover, this Golden Age Commerce, from which this auction house is so powerful, was started by the direct Church of the Goddess of Gold Coins, wasn’t it?

Every word described the Undead as if they were Demons, as if the Undead aimed to destroy the entire world and kill all humans.

Hill didn’t believe that the Undead Tribe would kill all the common people!

Even if some people didn’t care about military exploits or experience and just wanted to enjoy the thrill of killing, they had to be careful not to turn their names red and get directly eliminated by nearby members of the Undead Tribe to claim a reward!

The rewards that William gave to those who acted bravely in defense of righteousness were indeed very generous!

It was rare for the Undead Tribe to commit heinous acts of slaughtering civilians, after all, William was truly capable of stripping titles.

In the world of the Undead Tribe, the legal backing for virtual game companies to ban players for indiscriminate killing was supported; companies that failed to do so, if discovered by internet surveillance, were the ones truly at risk of being shut down.

Unless those few countries, where all the citizens belonged to the Evil Faction.

But even worlds ruled by devils never reached such an absolute level of evil; Hill didn’t believe these Evil Gods, who still needed followers, could achieve it.

Lawson’s voice continued, ”The Undead Tribe originally set out from the forests of the Shadow Dragon, which were the domains of the Goddess of Spring.”

No one knew why they suddenly clashed with the minions of Lady Venom, eventually taking a detour to the Malicious Forest.

If it was Lady Venom who provoked them, then burning down the Malicious Forest with fire would have been the end of it.

But instead, they suddenly turned around and attacked Spring Country, seeking out and killing the Goddess of Spring who was hiding in the temple!

To assault a gods’ realm on Earth is difficult even for deities. Many previous wars of annihilation allowed the enemies to revive merely because the temples in the Divine Kingdoms were not destroyed successfully.

But the Undead Tribe took a whole half month to dismantle the Spring Temple!

Such relentlessness alarmed the entire world!

The Goddess of Spring was notoriously timid, uninvolved in everything.

Lady Venom’s minions captured and ate children from her domains every year, and she could tolerate that.

Those were her followers’ foundations! Such a Goddess of Spring would never provoke the Undead Tribe!

Currently, as an ally of Lady Venom, the King of Insects is fiercely fighting the Undead Tribe, one of the most powerful deities on the continent, holding back the advance of the Undead Tribe.

But the Undead Tribe isn’t just that one faction; other regions’ Undead started mobilizing to that location after the fighting started.

Many countries discovered the Undead passing through.

So far, although all countries have denied entry to the Undead, they took detours to support their comrades.

They did not attack the countries they passed through, but no one knows if after the battle in the Country of Insects ends, whether they will retaliate against those nations that caused them to take long detours.

And our Tevalon is also among those.

So now, we simply don’t know which country the Undead might choose to attack; we can only prepare for war!

Ladies and gentlemen! These items, I have transferred here from the countries farthest from the Undead! Only enough for three days.

I wasn’t able to gather more equipment; I’m truly sorry, but this is the limit of what I could do.”

The auction began in a very solemn atmosphere.

Hill couldn’t care less about the scene; he of course understood why the Undead had killed the Goddess of Spring—she was even more despicable than Lady Venom!

Why would such a deity still have followers?

He remembered those books by Santos, which described the Goddess of Spring as surrounded by formidable enemies, barely managing to hold onto a tiny piece of land.

Tormented by other deities, but because she was the only Neutral Faction deity around, the nearby deities needed a buffer zone, so Spring Country was left standing.

The followers of the Goddess of Spring weren’t numerous, so she only stayed inside her temple and never ventured out.

Hill hadn’t cared much about it at the time; there were so many deities in this world, particularly weak ones lacking followers, which seemed possible.

But he had never imagined that her timidity and aversion to trouble would come at such a costly price.

The people of this world, accustomed to divine rule, had no feelings about people and events unrelated to their own deities, no matter how cruel.

They completely didn’t understand what was wrong with children from Spring Country being consumed by Lady Venom’s minions.

Since the Goddess of Spring was weaker than Lady Venom and didn’t want trouble, her nationals could supposedly just die at will.

They indifferently regarded humans from other countries as mere tools that deities could dispose of at will, never realizing they were the same.

Because their God of Travel was powerful enough to ensure their safety, they willingly sacrificed everything for their deity.

They didn’t feel at all that a commoner’s life being worse than death due to lack of divine protection was anything abnormal.

Humans had already divided themselves into different races based on their beliefs.

Hill sighed softly.

Who knows, after the Undead occupied those countries, whether they could clean up the ordinary people’s minds a bit!
