Book 17: Chapter 55
Ling Yue made a heavy landing on the chaotic battlefield. With one stomp, she killed a batch of people underfoot. She then violently swung her tail and sealed the city door with her body. The zombies outside had already engage the red uniform army in a close-quarters fight.
I began to think that humanity truly was a troublesome race. There was no way of instantly killing all of the zombies out in the field; however, because there were no more pouring out onto the field, within two hours, the sun came up in the east. The awful sight of corpses and blood was displayed.
“Finish off our wounded. There’s no way of saving them once they’ve been bitten. They’ll also end up turning. Rest in peace. I will remember your efforts. I will take care of your family until the end. I will see to it that they are compensated and treated acceptably. You were very brave in this war. I am proud of you all!”
Mommy Elizabeth’s horse was also dyed in red blood. Every step her horse took, you could hear the blood dripping off her horse. The soldiers cheered for their Empress whilst finishing off their wounded comrades to release them from the pain and incoming misery.
“So, these people were in this state due to drinking the so-called holy water?”
“River water would be more correct. The so-called holy water is, in actual fact, river water that passed through Troy City. In the water is a fake mana that an elf created. The mana doesn’t discriminate between humans and elves, thereby turning humans into these things. They have a desire to kill all species that possess mana. Humans are wild beasts by nature. Therefore, they were aggressive,” I clarified.
“That pope surprisingly managed to escape. My soldiers almost killed him. I did suspect that he was involved with this, and now it’s been confirmed. Son, how do you plan to deal with him?”
I glanced toward Troy City. Usually, all magical signals would come to an end once the sun came up after a full-moon night. This time, though, Ling Yue didn’t stand up, which indicated that the people behind her were still trying to charge out, and by people, I meant zombies. In the end, things would never end well for humans who got involved with mana.
“Throw him in. Dealing with him isn’t the most urgent matter at hand. Mom, I’m going to destroy Troy City now. As you saw, we can’t allow these zombies to reach the elven lands or humanity. Once they bite a human, it’ll be all over. This is a plague that Troy City started. I must burn Troy City to the ground.”
