Inside the hotel, Elsie was restless, feeling as if a pair of blue eyes were watching her.

Although Connor and his team were guarding the door, and Watson and Aize were inside the hotel... well, never mind them.

"Hmm?" Aize seemed to sense her sister's disdain, suddenly raised her head and snorted, then buried her head back in the blanket.

Elsie, disgusted by the smell of alcohol on the other person, moved a little further away.

What's wrong? It seems like something's bothering you. Tell me, let me cheer you up!

"Don't you think there's something strange about what the nameless skeleton is saying?"

【？】

“He said that once I obtained the Blood Crown, the Black Crown would descend, take it away, and kill the crown bearer.” Elsie pointed to herself: “But I haven’t obtained the Blood Crown, I don’t even know what it looks like!”

"Then... what about those zombies?"

【Huh? You can see that?】

“It’s too obvious. At least with my perception, every movement within a kilometer is within my awareness.” Elsie didn’t look out the window.

She knew that a group of zombies were lying in ambush not far from the hotel; they seemed to possess intelligence and were waiting for the order to attack.

So, how does it feel to be surrounded? You can try killing them all, otherwise your knights won't be able to withstand their onslaught.

“Yes, it’s not easy to gather so many knights.” Elsie sighed, “But if I go out now, won’t I be exposed?”

Are you afraid of Keomi?

"Hmm, I didn't sense his presence. He's trying to pinpoint my location. Tactically speaking, he's planning a decapitation strike," Elsie guessed.

"Aren't you afraid of those guys lying in ambush?"

"I believe in my knight, and I ask you to believe in my judgment."

【？】

"Speaking of which, perhaps I really do have the potential to become a king?"

【Oh ho?】

"How about we make a bet? What if all my knights are killed in action..."

【Then I'll call you Pig Xi from now on!】

Suddenly, shouts came from downstairs at the hotel, along with what sounded like the neighing of Connor's horse.

"Enemy attack!!!" Yin Lang's voice, tinged with an oriental accent, echoed through the alley.

The knights were on high alert when they saw a group of red-eyed zombies rushing uncontrollably toward the inn at an incredible speed!

"Defend! Take them down!!!" Connor raised his longsword and slashed.

In the corner, Yi Se was greatly shocked. He touched the arrow that had pierced his heart and had no idea that an archer was lying in ambush there.

“Oddity! Your army is out of control! Why did you launch such a rash attack!” Deadeye rebuked.

"The Red-Eyed have suffered heavy casualties. The target cavalry possesses excellent close-combat skills, so it is recommended that they be listed as a core target." Seven Bones continued to analyze the scene, sharing information through the mental network.

"Shut up, I've been shot!" Yi Se retorted, "Seven Bones, how the hell did you investigate!"

"The king said that we are not omnipotent and we must learn to adapt to changing circumstances..." Before Qi Gu could finish speaking, Yi Se jumped onto the roof and pinned him down, plunging his short sword into the other's mouth.

"Because of you, my army is gone again! You liberals are all useless!" His heterochromatic eyes darkened, and his breathing became exceptionally heavy.

"Hey, don't escalate this to factional conflict!" Deadeye relayed. "I'm bringing reinforcements. Thug, where are you? Answer me!"

Yi Se sheathed his short sword, but deliberately slashed Qi Gu's face and pointed at him, saying, "You won't last a day in the Berserker Faction, newbie!"

At this moment, Dead Eye had successfully led his men into the Imperial Knight Academy. They took a side path and successfully avoided the student teams that were supporting the South Gate.

"The Ghostfire Bear has escaped to the East Gate area. The East Gate city defense forces are unable to provide support. Everyone, be careful to avoid the angels' detection range." Deadeye counted the ranks behind him.

These blue-eyed zombies are more capable of thinking than red-eyed zombies. Although they are less aggressive, they can make up for it with equipment.

As luck would have it, they had already acquired a batch of equipment along the way, enough to support their operations.

"Gentlemen, prepare yourselves, the operation to slay the crown is about to begin."

"Judging from the appearance, the vanguard Red-Eyed Army has been completely wiped out. The Different Colors will attack the vanguard." Dead Eye made a gesture, dividing the legion behind him into two groups.

"Seven Bone, you lead one team to attack from the front, and the second team will follow me to flank from behind!"

"The target is Bloodcrown. Show no mercy, finish this quickly!"

"Operation begins!"

"Kill!" Yi Se pulled the arrow from his chest and instantly leaped from the rooftop to the inn.

A large number of blue-eyed zombies followed and rushed toward the hotel.

"Enemy detected!"

"How come there are still some!?"

The Knights instantly went into battle alert. Connor's gaze locked onto the strange color ahead, and the mark on his palm reminded him that it was a leader-level being.

"Charge!" David roared, raising his shield to break the zombies' formation. His iron spear pierced through a zombie in an instant, but the real fatal point was its head.

"Surround them! Surround them!" The blue-eyed zombies began communicating with each other using their mental network.

"A direct confrontation is underway with the hotel."

"The second team is flanking into the hotel, while the first team is fighting to the death."

"The alien has been attacked. Enemy cavalry has been discovered. Their combat strength is too high, and the alien is being suppressed!"

"Treading on Snow!" As a qualified escort mercenary of the Merchant Alliance, Dongshan Hong was naturally no stranger to this kind of chaotic battle.

The sword in his hand was exceptionally powerful, instantly killing several zombies.

"Watch out for the heads! The fatal spot!" He keenly spotted the zombies' weakness.

"The dagger is too short! I can't do it!" Parker struggled to hold on, attacking the zombie's head several times, but the zombie dodged his attacks.

"Cough cough!" With a few coughs, a flash of silver light appeared, and the swordsman Lynn had already sheathed his rapier.

The zombies that were attacking Parker were instantly killed.

"Awesome!" Parker praised Lynn.

Even Trisna, who had just managed to kill a zombie, cast a curious glance at them.

He's clearly a swordsman with E-rank potential, so why is he so strong?! He's almost on par with Dongfang Hong!

Oops!

Parker looked around and realized something was wrong!

Cavalryman Connor clashed fiercely with the enemy leader, Yi Se. The battle was intense and fierce.

David, clad in heavy armor, held his ground in the melee, killing three zombies and severely wounding five others.

Dongshanhong, working with David, is engaged in a chaotic battle to wipe out zombies, and has already killed more than 100.

Yin Lang is also unleashing sneak attacks to create battlefield advantages.

The strongest is naturally Lynn. His sword is as fast as lightning, and each strike can take down a zombie. However, he coughs occasionally, and I'm afraid he might collapse at any moment.

Even Trisna can fully utilize her assassin's agility to her advantage!

"Oh no! I'm useless now!"

Parker, zero kills.

This feeling is like...

A husky that has infiltrated a pack of wolves!

"I thought everyone was just having fun, but I never expected you guys to be so amazing behind my back! Tell me! How did you develop this incredible teamwork?!"
