A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

"Even now, there is still room for negotiation."

Hood shook his head.

" It's impossible for Alexander to go back. He's already tired of torturing jailers and prisoners day after day.

" Deep in his heart, he had always had a dream of returning to the battlefield. He had been planning for this for many years.

" Especially after Lady Isabelle sent Hera to Mount Black Suo. Alexander felt that Hera could replace him as the warden, so he sped up the execution of the plan.

" The incident at Hot Springs Prison allowed him to complete the last piece of the puzzle.

"Tonight, they will set off."

Matthew frowned and said,

"Where are they going?"

Hood replied,

" Not sure, but it's definitely the outer plane.

" That depends on where this unstable portal will send them.

"It could be the Abyss, Purgatory, the Darkspirit Plane, the Twin Heavens, or even the Heavenly Palace!

" Their goal is to kill all the powerful creatures in the outer planes that have directly injured the main world.

" To be more specific, Alexander once revealed to me his first target, Great Evil Demon Trier. You should be familiar with this name. He is the avatar that the God of Midnight uses to control the Evil Art Masters."

Matthew looked at Hood suspiciously.

"Are you crazy, or am I crazy?

"Or are they crazy?

" These people are going to the outer planes to hunt those legendary creatures?"

Hood sighed and knocked on the glass in his hand.

" Yes, when I first heard the news, I was just as shocked as you.

"Let's just treat them as crazy."

Matthew couldn't help but turn his head.

There was a transparent wall separating the hall and the courtyard. There was a magic barrier and barrier attached to it.

Looking at it from this angle.

He could clearly see the movements of the men in black in the hall.

They seemed to be performing an ancient ritual.

First, they ate slowly.

Then, it seemed to have reached a key part of the ritual.

Everyone raised their empty wine cups and drank from the empty air.

Then, they took off their hoods.

At this moment.

Only then did Matthew see the wrinkled faces and mottled, dry silver hair.

"They... are not young anymore?"

It was only then that Matthew noticed that even Alexander, who had Legendary strength, had the face of an old man.

" Yes, the youngest is already in his seventies."

Hood sighed.

"Have you heard of the Black Gold Unit?"

Matthew thought for a moment.

" An elite of the Black Suo Mountain law-enforcement officers?"

Hood nodded.

"Many people know that the Black Gold Troop is the trump card team that Alexander trained day and night.

"They have the ability to capture mages and other fugitives.

" But very few people know that this army was originally set up by Link for the Astral Expedition Plan. Its main support was the Northern Mage Army.

" About a hundred years ago, the place where the Northlands and the Far East met suffered a joint invasion from the outer planes. The invaders included the Heavenly Palace, Purgatory, and Evil Spirits. At that time, countless barbarians and humans in the North were killed or injured. Many villages and cities were burned down in the fire.

" In order to take revenge on the enemy, Link personally gathered a team of mages. This time, the members of the team all had family members who lost their lives in the invasion. They are actively training, looking forward to the day when they will successfully take revenge.

" However, this matter came to an end when Link went to the astral plane to guard the puzzle lock.

" The northern mage army was taken over by Roderick and Edmond. The two of them quickly split up the original organization, and the members of the Black Gold Unit were transferred to other positions.

" After that, the Alliance faced different upheavals in the years to come. For the past fifty years, Edmond was the one who dominated the Floating City's policies.

" Edmond advocated using gentler methods to get along with the Family Palace. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. Look at Lady Isabelle, who was once the most radical. After regaining power, she continued the path of Edmond's suggestion.

" From the Alliance's standpoint, we must avoid further intensifying the conflict with the enemy when we are not strong enough.

"But for Alexander and the rest of the Black Gold Troop, this is undoubtedly bad news.

" They don't have much time left. They only want revenge.

" A long time ago, Alexander realized that it was impossible to count on Link's return to reorganize the army. Therefore, during his years as the warden of Mount Black Suo, he has been recruiting former members of the Black Gold Army.

" They have long been prepared to take revenge.

"All they lack is a fuse.

" Before the riot in Hot Spring Prison, they had already made all the preparations.

"The only thing missing is the core material used to make Yi Xing Arc, the Divine Fragment.

"Yi Xing Arc was an astral vehicle that could be used for anti-divine reconnaissance.

"After the hot spring prison.

"The last piece of the puzzle had been completed.

"In fact.

"What you have is only one-tenth of what Alexander has prepared for this expedition.

"If you are interested in other things.

"No one will stop you from taking them.

"However, I beg you in my personal name to at least give them the divine fragment. This is very important to them."

At this point.

Hood suddenly laughed at himself.

" Of course, the premise is that you don't plan to report this to the Alliance.

"Don't worry. No matter what decision you make, I will stand on your side.

" It will be the same if you order the capture of this special expedition team."

Matthew supported his face with one hand and could not help but complain,

"Why do you want me to know this?

"Why do you want me to make the decision?"

Hood winked slyly.

"Perhaps you can guess what the holy mages mean.

"Why hasn't Lady Isabelle appeared yet?

"Why did Lord Soria's IOU end up in your hands?

"Of course, these are all my speculations.

" You're the one making the decision, Matthew."
