Outside the hotel, the knights were ready, and Leon shook hands with Connor.
They have decided to fight against the evil spirits at the South Gate.
"It's a real pity that my lord may not be able to witness my bravery for the time being." Leon glanced at Aize, who was being carried into the house by Ferry.
"Alright! Brothers! Let's go!" Leon pulled on the reins, and the heavy cavalry squad began to move towards the target area.
“We will remain here.” Connor turned his horse around to face David and the others.
"Protect the hotel."
"Red, have Trisna and the others not found their lord yet?" he asked Dongshan Red.
Dongshan Hong stopped the coin-tossing game, tilted his head and smiled, "The divination says that my lord is unharmed."
"That's good……"
...
"What a load of rubbish!"
Elsie was also among the fleeing crowd on the street.
There are man-eating zombies everywhere!
Wait a minute! Show me their stats! The combined stats of all these zombies aren't even a fraction of yours!
Now, listen to me, turn around and kill them all!
"No! I have a phobia of zombies!"
[Is this some kind of post-Kaomi torture syndrome?! How are you going to deal with him like this?]
I've made up my mind!
You've finally overcome your inner demons. Go! Take them down...
"From now on, I'll just give up. I'll run away whenever I see a zombie, and leave the rest to the angels! I'll generously give them this evil!"
[...]
How did you manage to fantasize while running away?
"Chirp—" Suddenly, a chirping sound came from the sky.
Elsie looked up and saw a dark shadow hovering in the air.
“Gao Fei!?” Elsie naturally recognized Puck’s pet.
[They're partners! Don't underestimate the bond between Parker and it, you bastard!]
"My lord!" Puck rushed out of the alley and happily escorted Elsie to the side of the road.
Trisna dispatched the approaching zombies in an instant, the dagger gliding between her fingers with the agility of a venomous snake.
"Parker, take the lord away, it's not safe here." Trisna, masked, was wary of the surrounding zombies.
Her clearing maneuver had just attracted the attention of all the zombies.
"Gao Fei!" Puck called for Gao Fei to return, then pulled Elsie along to prepare to retreat.
However, the zombies suddenly stopped moving. They lowered their heads and remained motionless. Dozens of zombies stood like wooden statues, creating an extremely eerie atmosphere.
What's going on? Are they terrified of Trisna?
Trisna frowned, sensing danger, and moved closer to Parker: "Get out of here as soon as possible."
"Hey! Looks like you've run into some trouble!" A group of soldiers rushed over from another street.
"We are the West Gate City Defense Army, heading to the North Gate for support. What... what are these things?" The soldier captain poked the suddenly motionless zombies.
"Don't move! Don't disturb them!" Trisna felt increasingly uneasy.
"Ha!" The soldier captain laughed loudly, then turned to his comrades and said, "Look at this cowardly assassin."
"Let's get out of here! The real men should handle the front lines!"
The soldier captain led the way by beheading a zombie, and the other soldiers followed suit. Trisna also urged Parker to leave.
Watching Trisna and the others leave, the soldier captain spat: "They're just a bunch of zombies, why are you so afraid?"
"Brothers! Clean this up, we're going to support the brothers at the North Gate... brothers..."
The soldier captain turned around and stood there stunned. The scene was littered with corpses, and the soldiers had been disemboweled.
Only a second had passed!
All the soldiers and zombies are dead, wait! Something's not right!!! Who's standing there!
There's another zombie!
The captain of the soldiers trembled as he drew his longsword, pointing it at the last remaining zombie, whose body was covered in blood.
"What a coincidence..." the zombie said.
"W-What! A talking zombie!?" The soldier captain couldn't help but take a step back, feeling his whole body trembling.
If Elsie were here, she would probably say something like "His adrenaline is pumping," which was considered evil in the Middle Ages.
"You were just a little slow in taking over, and you killed an entire legion of mine. That's interesting." The zombie raised its head, its eyes one red and one blue.
“I smell the Blood Crown. Tell me you’ve seen her.”
The heterochromatic-eyed zombie appeared before the soldier captain in a flash: "Where did she go?"
"Who...who are you?!" The soldier captain tried to swing his sword, but his hand was firmly held by the zombie, and he could even hear the sound of bones cracking.
"Me?" The heterochromatic-eyed zombie suddenly bared its fangs: "Berserker, heterochromatic, leader of the King's Third Vanguard Legion."
"I have come for the Blood Crown!"
"I'm done introducing myself, now it's your turn, don't be stingy!" The strangely colored claws pierced the soldier captain's skull, even as the man struggled in agony until he died.
"Thanks for your cooperation~"
Yi Se abandoned the soldier captain's corpse and smiled as he looked towards the Imperial Knight Academy in the direction of the North Gate.
“No, the king said… a duel between kings must not be taken lightly; whoever exposes themselves first will die.” Yi Se scratched his head and suddenly said, “Let me think… I’ve got it!”
"Stand up, guys!"
"We need to take action!"
As the strange creature called out, the corpses on the ground began to stir, opening their scarlet eyes and rising blood-red mist from their bodies.
"This is the Third Army, the Alien. Our arrival has been unsuccessful, and we have temporarily replenished our forces by employing the Red-Eye tactic. Currently, we have 74 Red-Eye Corpses. We will gather at the Imperial Knight Academy to await orders." The Alien's eyes gleamed.
"Received. This is the First Army. Dead Eye. The general's arrival failed. Currently, the officers include you and me, as well as the thugs from the Seventh Army. His army has also been wiped out."
A blue-eyed zombie wielding a longbow climbed the clock tower, gazing at the raging fire within the city. Dozens of other blue-eyed zombies on the tower also stared at the flames.
“According to the King’s law, I will serve as the commander-in-chief of this operation.” Dead Eyes stared at the Imperial Knight Academy.
“Thug, go and intercept the city defense troops at the East Gate. Yise, do not act rashly. Our descent has been unsuccessful. The king's position is unclear, and our descent may have failed.”
"Grass!" the strange-colored creature uttered, its voice like that of a plant.
“Calm down, you idiot!” Deadeye continued, “We’ll meet at the academy.”
"Seven Bones, go and scout out the exact location of the Blood Crown."
"Yes, sir!" The blue-eyed zombie named Seven Bones jumped down from the clock tower.
...
At this time, Mirror Lake City was in great chaos. The troops at the south gate had been completely wiped out by the fire, and the support of the noble knights had been slaughtered by zombies known as thugs.
The militia forces were completely gripped by fear and lost all power to resist.
Some mercenary groups are clearing out the gray-eyed zombies around the streets.
In the very center of the city, the Will-o'-the-Wisp Bear is engaged in a fierce battle with Green. For some reason, every time it suffers a fatal wound, its body flashes with a large amount of green light.
