It was getting dark, and Livia stood at a fork in the road with two roads, feeling a little hesitant.

If we continue along the same road we came from, we can be sure that there is no village or town along the way, unless we get to the vicinity of Songkhla Ni. He came here along this road and he knows that very well.

On the other road, there were fresh ruts that turned from the road in the direction of Songkani. It looked like they were no more than an hour old. From the depth of the ruts pressed into the soil, it could be seen that there were several carriages carrying heavy objects. It should be a caravan, so the speed should not be very fast. If he chased them, he might be able to catch up.

After a little hesitation, Livia decided to chase the caravan taking another road. After all, he came from Songkani. If he went to Songkani at the current speed, it would take at least more than a day. In this case, it would not matter if he chased the caravan on the other side for an hour or two.

Thinking of this, Livia ran towards the other end of the road without any hesitation. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his back, casting a long shadow.

The caravan's speed was not very fast, as Livia had expected. Livia finally caught up with them before it got completely dark, but something seemed to be wrong with the caravan.

Livia frowned as he looked at the black spot at the end of his field of vision. Although he couldn't see it clearly from such a distance, his keen hearing had already detected the noise of commotion coming from there.

What happened?

Livia thought about it and quickened her pace to rush towards the caravan in the distance.

After zooming in a little, he could gradually hear some panicked voices and the sound of weapons waving, as if they were fighting something.

As I got closer, I could see more clearly the wagons carrying goods and the humans hiding behind them and fighting with weapons. The ones fighting with them were...

Ghoul?

Livia looked at the monsters on both sides of the road attacking the caravan people with some surprise. Now the zombies dared to directly attack the large caravan on the road?

Even from such a distance, Livia could already smell the disgusting stench of the ghouls. He came to his senses, calmly drew the iron sword from his waist, and strode towards the ghouls on both sides of the caravan.

…

clang!

Allison, the caravan's guard leader, was pushed back two steps and looked with an unsightly expression at the several zombies in front of him who were staring at him.

Damn, how could these monsters suddenly attack us.

Seeing that many of the guards around him had fallen down and were about to collapse, he gritted his teeth.

“Killian!

We can't stop you, take your people and the most valuable things and run away on horseback!"

Allison swung his sword to drive back the zombies in front of him and shouted to the merchant hiding behind the carriage.

Then he quickly turned around and raised his sword to block the zombie's sharp claws, puff!

He blocked the attack of the zombie in front of him, but failed to block the zombie that attacked from the side, and a claw mark was torn on his left arm.

"hiss!"

As the leader of the caravan's guards, Allison was naturally no pushover. The moment he was scratched, he swung his sword to fight back and cut off the head of the zombie that attacked him.

"ah!"

There was a scream behind him. Allison gritted his teeth and endured the pain to look back. In just a short while, two more guards of the caravan were killed. The defense line was completely torn apart. Some zombies had already rushed into the caravan. The scream just now was made when a groom of the caravan was knocked to the ground and bitten to death.

Damn it!

He suddenly looked at the fat businessman who was still packing his things in the carriage, and suddenly became furious and yelled at the businessman in the carriage.

“Killian!

Hurry up, you fucking bastard!"

The fat merchant on the carriage turned around and looked at him with sweat all over his forehead. He said in panic, "Alison, please help drag it a little longer. If we don't take these jewels away, the people in the Chamber of Commerce will definitely skin us alive."

He was very angry at Killian's words. If he delayed any longer, he would be in trouble. Why did he keep delaying? "

If you don’t run away now, you’ll be dead!

Edgar!

Drag him away!

he quickly shouted to his deputy who was dragging two zombies on the other side.

While speaking, Allison kept slashing with the sword in his hand, forcibly stopping the three zombies in front of him.

Although he was still able to stop these three zombies, this consumed a lot of his physical strength and he couldn't hold on for much longer. What's more, the caravan's defense line had been torn apart. After a while, the guards and others would be killed, and he would be surrounded by more than ten zombies, and he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to.

Hearing his order, Edgar, who was wielding a one-handed sword, was about to ask the guard next to him to hold on, but he found that the guard next to him had already fled along the road at some point.

As he watched, a zombie caught up with the fleeing guard and tackled him to the ground, where he lost consciousness amid wailing and screaming.

Tsk, you dare to run away, do you really think you can outrun these monsters on your own two legs?

Edgar sighed helplessly as he watched the fleeing guards being killed. He swung his sword, leaving a wound on the zombie in front of him, and then shouted at Allison.

"I can't get away from here!"

Allison naturally saw the situation on his side, and he had no way to deal with this predicament.

Damn it!

Am I going to die here today?

"Ah, ah, Allison, we got the stuff, let's run!"

The fat merchant Killian came out of the carriage panting and holding a big bag and shouted.

Allison made the decision with just one glance, “Edgar!

Prepare to withdraw!"

Now there were less than ten people left in the caravan, including the three of them. Even a horse had been bitten to death. If they didn't run away now, it would be too late. He and Edgar could only protect Killian and leave. As for the others...

I can only hope for the best.

As he was thinking about this, he suddenly noticed a dark figure hunched over beside the carriage where Killian was. He immediately widened his eyes and yelled, "Killian!

careful!"

"ah?

!”

Killian, who was called, looked at him blankly, not being able to understand what he meant for a moment. Then the low growl and the sound of wind beside him made his face turn pale.

"Help, help, help!

! ! "

Unfortunately, it was too late for him to call for help. How could the zombie that was already so close stop just because of his call for help?

With almost no ability to resist, Killian's fat body was thrown to the ground. Ignoring the pain of falling, he looked at the bloody mouth in front of him and screamed.

“Aaaaaaaaah!

Help!

! ! "

But both Allison and Edgar were some distance away from him and could not reach him all at once, not to mention that they were being dragged by the zombies and could not get away.

Damn it!

! !

Allison gritted his teeth and turned his head away from looking at Killian. Although the two of them didn't get along well with each other, they worked together in the caravan and had known each other for nearly ten years. They were already close friends. It was natural that he would feel bad to see him dying here.

Go to hell!

! !

Thinking of this, he angrily swung out his heavy sword, cutting off the left arm of the ghoul that attacked him, and temporarily scaring away the other two ghouls.

Killian watched the monster in front of him bite down on him, and his mind went blank.

Phew!

! !

“Aaaaaaaaaaah!

! ! "
