Chapter 95: Conquering the Camp
"It’s coming along nicely," I hummed, glancing around at the safe camp that had been set up in Tokonuso.
Calling it a simple ’camp’ was being dishonest, as the barriered-in area extended throughout the majority of the city. My subordinates had already cleared out all the streets, and even the majority of the buildings within the city were zombie-free.
The only thing preventing me from completing my quest now was the occasional unfound zombie, as when you had no brain and just wandered around aimlessly, you tended to get stuck in some awkward spots. Raya had told me that she even had to send a few dire wolves into the sewers, as a few zombies had fallen through some overturned manholes.
"You did this even quicker than I thought," I glanced over at Raya, who preened lightly at my words.
"Of course. It was pretty simple," She started to explain, a slightly proud tone in her voice, "I just ordered Katerea to come through earlier, and she set up a communication circle. I used one of those ’eye-phones’ from the human world to play a loud noise, and most of the zombies came running over."
I chuckled lightly as she exaggerated the ’eye’ in ’iPhone,’ but nodded approvingly. I had considered using a similar tactic when I cleared out Fujimi Academy - that being making a loud-ass noise to attract the zombies - but with so many students running around and screaming, it wouldn’t have been very effective.
By comparison, the large majority of the residents of Tokonuso were already zombified or hiding in a safe camp. Raya had mostly just been taking in the stragglers holed up in their homes, so the city had been pretty quiet. Her plan had evidently worked, as the streets were zombie-free.
"Their blood is a bit weird, and it’s caused some of the wolves to get sick, but a fairy’s healing fixes that pretty easily. There’s also still the occasional one stuck in a building or that fell in a hole. It would be nice if they were smarter..." Raya continued with a sigh, "But, there are also a few human-run safety camps around the city. I ordered the troops to leave them alone since I assumed you wanted them alive, but one of them has been pretty aggressive towards us, and you can’t just expect wolves to sit down while they’re being shot at."
I nodded at her words, as I expected as much. Humans naturally feared the unknown, and a group of monsters invading the city to clear out the other monsters eating them alive was definitely unknown. They’d be fearful and lash out, and while I could expect a more intelligent creature, like my dwarves, succubi, or devil soldiers, to realize they weren’t at any risk of death, the wolves were much more instinctual.
"What’s the situation?" I asked bluntly, and Raya continued.
"The safety camp is called the ’Takagi Estate,’" Raya started, and I resisted letting out a groan.
