Chapter 69: Let’s Hear What You Have to Say
"Well, that doesn’t look good," Frowned Lexia warily.
"Yeah, that’s a whole lot of Miasma...I wonder what it feels like, to have your strength sapped by it and-...?" Began Colt with a look of intrigue, as he peered over the edge, before Lexia grabbed the back of his collar and yanked him back.
"Don’t even think about it, dumbass, we’re only here to scout out the situation, nothing more. And at first glance...yeah, the nation might be fucked," She responded with a grimace, as she let go of his collar.
"Mm...do that again, it felt really good," He grinned, as he rubbed his neck gingerly.
A week had passed since the Undead King attacked the Capital, it was the 27th of November, 1918, around 11 PM at night.
And over the last few days, word of what had happened in the Capital spread like wildfire throughout the entire Kingdom, with the reputation of the Knight Order taking a serious hit, as a handful of Nobles had been killed by the undead creatures that had been summoned to the Capital by the Undead King.
That, on top of the fact that they had also failed to stop The Irregulars the same day, led to severe criticism and blame being thrown at the Knight Order.
And those sentiments had been further amplified by the Noble Houses that were opposed to the way the current Knight Order operates, and they were particularly scathing against Jules.
Colt and Lexia were currently at the southeast border, where the Death Zone was located on the other side of. They were atop the tall wall that had been erected across that side of the border to keep the undead creatures and Miasma out, surveying the situation.
And it didn’t look good, the entire area ahead of the border was brimming with Miasma, and there were hundreds of undead creatures in sight, roaming through the region.
"Looking at this, it’s pretty insane how so many Nobles aren’t taking this threat seriously," Remarked Colt in bemusement.
