As the dead rose in the northwest, so too did they rise in the northeast, in the lands further north than the Yuan Kingdom.
Undead clad in western-style armor and attire, a rarity in the eastern continent . . . and among them stood a woman with ashen skin.
A woman with a crown tinged with green, and a sword, also tinged with green, in her hand. As she sat down on her throne, the surrounding skeletal soldiers naturally merged with each other, forming a throne for her as if they had been waiting for this moment.
“How long has it been?”
A skeletal knight, deeply hooded in black, prostrated himself at her side.
“Three thousand years, my Queen. . .”
They were the eastern expeditionary force of the Spanish Empire, who had ruled the Iberia Military District and Legion Military District 3,000 years ago. They included Queen and Grandmaster Isabella von Habsburg and her husband, the archduke and Sword Master Hernán von Cortez, the head of the Order of Santiago.
“Ah . . . . . . My love, you are still charming, even though you are nothing but bones.”
“My Queen, you are as beautiful now as you were 3,000 years ago.”
“Rather than that . . . who woke us?”
“It is the Lord of Morgen.”
“Ah, the sorcerer king.”
The reason the Spanish eastern expeditionary force was here in this state was because their expedition had failed, and they had lost their country to a surprise attack by the Bavarian Kingdom, which existed in the Prussia Military District and Francia Military District at the time, leaving them with nowhere to return to.
After that, they were constantly driven further north by attacks from the eastern nations. However, the queen and archduke wanted to survive, and they received the help of a necromancer, who turned them into undead, granting them immortality.
Grandmaster Isabella became an Abyss Knight, a higher-ranking undead than a Death Knight, and Sword Master Hernán became a Death Knight.
The knights and soldiers under their command all became Skeleton Knights and Skeleton Soldiers, forming an army of the dead that reigned supreme in the north.
After that, they settled in the northern lands and established the ruined kingdom of Downfall Kingdom . . . which seemed to be about to conquer the entire east.
However, their advance was stopped by the Lord of Morgen, the sorcerer king Morgul, who had settled in the north. Morgul subdued them with his powerful magic and sealed them away under his control.
Thanks to this, the eastern continent became peaceful, and Morgul gained an army that he could use whenever he needed it.
“Is it because of what I feel in the south?”
“Do you feel something?”
“This is . . . . . . Hmm, I feel a very strong demonic power.”
“Is it a demon of Chaos?”
“Let’s go to Morgen Fortress for now. We’ll know when we get there.”
“Yes, my Queen.”
After that, they met many undead along the way and gathered more troops before they were able to reach Morgen Fortress.
When they arrived at Morgen Fortress, they saw even more undead troops. The ruined Queen Isabella greeted a phantom knight who approached her.
“Long time no see, Your Majesty.”
“You are Duke Grael.”
Phantom knight Grael, who commanded specters and ghosts, had lived longer than Abyss Knight Isabella, but he was respectful of Isabella, who was stronger than him.
He was an undead who had joined Isabella when she created the Downfall Kingdom in the north. With the addition of thousands of specters and ghosts, the Downfall Kingdom became even stronger.
“I was unable to participate in the final battle because I was forced to sleep by Morgul. May God forgive me.”
“Don’t worry, I was also sealed away by Morgul, so I couldn’t fight in the final battle.”
At that moment, an undead army made up of the skeletons of monsters appeared from the Dragon Spine Mountains to the south. Soon after, a lich leading the monster undead stepped forward.
“How dare you, a woman who falsely claims to be the queen of all undead.”
Death Knight Hernán stepped forward, enraged by the lich’s words.
“Ha, how dare a mere Lich!”
“Don’t interfere, you’re just a Death Knight . . . . . .”
As the lich waved his hand, dark magic concentrated on Hernán, crushing his entire body, and soon he fell to his knees. Then, Isabella swung her sword, imbued with dark aura, and dispelled the dark magic that was crushing Hernán’s body.
“Your hobby is still as annoying as ever, Grandprajé.”
Grandprajé.
He was a lich known as the Monster Lord who operated in the Dragon Spine Mountains. He was a man with a bounty on his head in the Imperial Empire, and he would often lead hordes of undead through the Dragon Spine Mountains to attack the Imperial Empire.
“Know your place, woman.”
Hernán, who had heard the word “woman” once again, drew his sword, his dark aura flaring up.
At that moment! A Death Knight in the form of a centaur appeared and swung his giant scythe, blocking Hernán’s sword. He was Grandprajé’s adjutant, Death Knight Schneider.
“That’s enough.”
At Schneider’s warning, phantom knight Grael swung his own scythe. Then, another undead stepped forward and swung his own scythe, blocking Grael’s scythe.
“Kukukukukukuku! Isn’t this a really funny situation?”
“Scarecrow Karack?”
“Heheheheheh, it seems you’ve lived a long time too, since you know my name.”
The scarecrow wraith Karack was a doll that Grandprajé had created with great care.
Just as tensions were rising between the forces of Monster Lord Grandprajé and the ruined Queen Isabella, lich dragon hordes appeared from the east.
Krrrrrr!
The lich dragons spread their wings and revealed their presence . . . The enormous surge of magic made even Grandprajé and Isabella nervous.
