Chapter 493: Undead (1)
Wiltshire is a county in the southern region of the Holy British Empire, far away from the island of Christia, and is governed by the Marquis of Stephen Daniel.
Because Wiltshire is a border county, Stephen Daniel is one of the border lords. In addition, the Holy British Empire is bordered to the south by the Farleyland Empire, so Stephen Daniel is one of the top border lords.
But today, a huge crisis like the end of the world broke out in Wiltshire under Stephen's rule.
The town of Millais under the jurisdiction of Wiltshire. At this moment, this pleasant town was shrouded in gunpowder smoke and fear. The residents of the town ran northward in panic, and then the passage out of the town was blocked by the border troops. Guard it and don't allow easy entry or exit.
It's not that the Border Marquis is cold-blooded, it's that the crisis that broke out in the town cannot allow residents to leave at will.
"Roar!"
Somewhere in the town, a human with extremely uncoordinated limbs, a rancid smell all over his body, and dark eyes knocked down a middle-aged man at an extremely fast speed, and bit the middle-aged man mercilessly. on the neck!
"Monster, get away! Get away!"
The middle-aged man struggled fiercely, but to no avail, until——
The man's struggle gradually became smaller. In less than a minute, his limbs began to twitch, and a large amount of black gas came out of his body. Most of his skin was corroded, releasing a disgusting smell.
The original gray pupils were replaced by pitch black. His body twisted and twitched before he stood up again in a strange arc and followed the monster like him running towards the north.
It's like a zombie in a movie, making people scream and frighten.
These zombies attack indiscriminately. Even if they are of the same kind, they will bite each other as long as they collide with each other until one of them is unable to move.
The residents of the small town flocked to the northern exit in large numbers, but they were still unable to break through the checkpoints of the border troops. They shouted, protested, and begged in fear, but to no avail.
Looking at the fearful eyes of the residents, the soldiers could not bear it, but they could not violate the orders from above. They could only give stern warnings to the residents and intercept and suppress those who tried to attack the checkpoints!
…
On a new fighter jet launched from Santa Fetia, Luo Xi, who was piloting the fighter plane, looked at the tragic situation in Mile Town captured by satellite on the screen with a serious expression.
"This is considered a zombie."
Su Yian, who was sitting behind him, also looked at this scene through the space window and said, "It's the undead."
"Undead?"
"What's inside them is a virus that will kill them within three minutes, then corrode their souls, and end up existing in this form."
"This is a magic called [Necromantic Ritual]." After a pause, Su Yian continued: "This magic does not belong to the dark magic, but to the dark magic!"
"What's the difference?"
"Dark energy."
Hearing this, Luo Xi's expression changed: "Alien beast? Is this thing related to the alien beast?"
"I will talk to you in detail about the specific matter later." Although Su Yian's tone was calm, his heart was extremely solemn.
The reason why he knew about this dark magic was from the soul on the cursed sword of the second ruins. From the soul that came from the Holy Land and was suppressed in the second ruins, he knew the name of this magic, and he knew This magic was used in the war a hundred years ago.
"Do you know how to crack this dark magic?" Luo Xi asked again.
"In the final analysis, this magic belongs to the category of spiritual magic. As long as we start from the source, although the virus cannot be eliminated, these undead souls will also lose their ability to move."
"What's the root cause?"
"The magician who releases this magic." Su Yian said: "According to the strength of the undead in Milai Town, this magician has not reached the level of a magister, and will not be more than 20 kilometers away from Milai Town. Maybe he is hiding in Mirai. Somewhere in town.”
"Then let's find the murderer!" Luo Xi controlled the fighter plane and once again increased the speed of the fighter plane.
…
"What should we do? If this continues, the people will break through the barrier sooner or later!" An officer said to his superiors with a solemn expression.
Major Kosem said with a gloomy face: "Don't let them break through the level, shoot if necessary!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the surrounding officers changed. If this was really a shooting, the nature would completely change.
"This is an order from Lord Border Marquis!" Major Cosem said coldly: "Does anyone want to disobey the military order?"
The officers were silent, and Major Kosem snorted coldly: "Hurry up and act quickly. If there are hundreds of thousands of people in a town, if one runs out, shoot him on the spot!!"
The residents of Mile Town were horrified to find that the crisis was not only the threat of undead from behind. At the checkpoint in front of them, heavy firepower was set up, and the black muzzles were pointed at them, and the sound of the gun bolt was pulled. Like a reminder, their voices lowered involuntarily.
"If one more person tries to break through, the rest of the people will be buried with this brainless person!" Major Cosem stared at the residents expressionlessly, his voice sounding like it came from the Nine Nether Hell.
"You are violating human rights!" An old man over fifty years old shouted angrily: "Why do you deprive us of our freedom? Why do you violate our right to life?!"
"We protest! Let us pass!"
"You don't have the ability to destroy monsters, but you have the ability to attack us? You losers!"
"Are the taxes we pay to the country just to support you bunch of cowardly wastes?"
"Get out of the way, we want to pass!"
"I'm live streaming, I want the whole world to know what you're doing!"
The crowd that had just quieted down suddenly became excited again, and moved towards the checkpoint regardless of everything, especially the words "I'm live streaming", which made the people in Mile Town even more excited.
Major Kosem's body was trembling because of anger. He stared at the endless flow of people and slowly raised his right hand!
The faces of the soldiers around him changed. If he waved his hand, hundreds of thousands of lives would be wiped out in an instant. Although there were reasons, it was definitely not a good practice in the international community!
"Major Kosem!" An officer couldn't help but say: "Hundreds of thousands of lives!"
Major Kosem had a blank expression and was unmoved. The next second, he waved his right hand!
The people who were rushing towards the checkpoint saw this scene, their expressions stagnated, and their momentum slowed down a bit, but they did not hear the gunshots at the first time.
"Who dares to disobey military orders?" Major Kosem looked at the soldiers around him in a stern tone.
Da da da...
The gun fired, but——
A pleasant song that seemed to be able to cleanse the soul sounded, and in the air, colorful notes were like dancing elves, shuttling among the crowd and between the flying bullets.
It was visible to the naked eye that the bullets that broke the speed of sound stopped, were wrapped by the dancing notes, and then turned into powder.
In the sky, a dazzling figure was walking on flat ground, jumping lightly, and the song that made people calm and peaceful came out of her mouth and spread to every corner.
The irritable people gradually calmed down, and the soldiers stopped shooting. One by one, they looked up at the sky, looking at the person who seemed to be an angel.
"Her Highness, the Princess of Song..."
Major Kosem looked at the girl who fell from the sky, and his mouth twitched slightly, but after seeing the helicopter with royal style written in the sky, he was silent.
The colorful notes were beating, and there was a greater power spreading in the air. This power entered everyone's heart and purified the negative emotions.
Chu Anlan stopped in the sky five meters high. As the singing lingered, the residents of Mile Town began to line up consciously. At the same time, hundreds of figures wearing golden armor entered Mile Town from the checkpoint and headed towards the core area of Mile Town!
Behind them were the regular troops belonging to the royal family.
The singing made the people quiet down, and the Holy See's Knights of Light and the royal regular army rushed to the front line, which made them completely relaxed.
Major Kosem's body was completely relaxed. It was good that the Holy See of Light and the royal family made a decision. The only thing was that they were afraid of inaction and let the border marquis bear all the responsibilities!
The colorful notes gradually disappeared, and Chu Anlan breathed a sigh of relief. A figure in a purple robe appeared in front of her: "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Chu."
"It's okay." Chu Anlan shook her head.
The archbishop nodded and flew towards the central area of Mile Town. Chu Anlan used the [Fly] magic auxiliary machine to return to the helicopter. In addition to the pilot, the rest of the helicopter was Chu Anlan's agent team.
"Anlan, are you okay?" The agent asked with concern.
"It's okay." Chu Anlan tidied her hair: "Let's go to the center of Mile Town to have a look?"
"No, it's too dangerous!" The agent refused: "What if something unexpected happens?"
"Before I'm a singer, I'm a magician first." Chu Anlan said calmly: "The order has never changed."
The agent's tone stagnated, looking at Chu Anlan's firm eyes, she sighed in her heart, from childhood to adulthood, Chu Anlan has never changed.
"Go to Mile Town." The agent said to the driver in the language of the Holy British Empire, and the royal helicopter continued to move forward.
…
"As expected of Her Highness the world-famous Princess of Song." Luo Xi listened to the singing voice coming from the space window and praised her without hesitation: "It is a miracle that such a world-class singer can appear in your country."
"She is a magician first, and a singer second." Su Yian said lightly.
"Is that your evaluation of her?"
"That's her evaluation of herself."
"You know each other?" Luo Xi realized afterward: "By the way, she seems to be a top student at the Shuiyun Magic Academy in your country."
Su Yian nodded, and without further explanation, Luo Xi continued: "I will continue to speed up and try to get to Mile Town within 30 minutes."
Swoosh!
The surface of the fighter plane that has been accelerated to the extreme has a layer of green light flashing, which is obviously the brilliance that only magic can have.
This is the current technology, the combination of technology and magic.
…
The strength of the Light Knights of the Holy See's armed forces is comparable to or even exceeds that of a country's magic special forces. Although the number of people is small, they are elite.
Each knight is a magician above the tactical level, wearing special armor and weapons, and can exert strength beyond their own strength.
As the elite force of the Holy See of Light, the Knights have exerted their due strength. Although there are many dead spirits in Mile Town, none of them can be a match for the Knights!
The knights of the Knights of Light lined up in a row and pushed forward like a solid wall. All the dead spirits that appeared in front of them were directly annihilated.
As they continued to move forward, the distance between the knights became farther and farther, and they were gradually forming an encirclement of the dead spirits.
The gaps between the knights were filled by the regular army of the royal family. The encirclement was getting bigger and bigger, and the area available for the dead spirits to move was getting smaller and smaller.
In the sky, Archbishop Xian Andrea of the Holy See of Light calmly watched everything happening on the ground. Before arriving in Mile Town, the Cardinal told him not to be careless and not to take it lightly before finding the person behind the scenes, so he could not let go of any movement.
The mental power surged like a tide, covering most of Mile Town, and nothing could escape his perception.
The encirclement of the Knights of Light and the Royal Regular Army was getting bigger and bigger. The number of dead spirits exceeded their expectations, but what they valued more was the violent power and terrifying speed of the dead spirits.
They found that the more they advanced, the more terrifying the strength of the dead spirits became. The dead spirits they encountered now could no longer be killed with one blow.
"Roar!"
A dead spirit fell under the holy spear of a knight. The knight moved forward expressionlessly and stepped over the dead spirit's body. The golden armor was difficult for the black air to erode.
But this time...
"Hehehe..."
A strange voice sounded from behind him. The knight paused and turned around. The holy spear pierced through the resurrected dead spirit.
But the dead spirit seemed to be unable to feel the light magic contained in the holy spear. It stepped forward and approached the knight!
The knight did not panic. He decisively abandoned the holy spear and punched the dead spirit's head. The light magic released from the golden gloves was pure and sacred.
But this punch was like a stone into the sea, without splashing a ripple. What made the knight change his face was that he couldn't pull out his fist!
"Death! Death! Devour! Devour!"
In an instant, a terrifying black gas erupted from the dead spirit's body, covering the knight like a black curtain.
The knight's face changed drastically, and the gold magic in his body surged out crazily, trying to break through the black curtain, but to no avail.
The dead spirit made a strange cry and actually entered the black curtain. The next second, a creepy scream rang out from the black curtain.
Whoosh!
A golden holy spear came from far away and sank directly into the black curtain. The knight who came to support had a solemn expression. He held the holy spear and moved forward again, poking a hole in the black curtain.
There was no blood, no screams, and the strange black air was wrapped around the holy spear. The light magic in the holy spear could not resist it at all!
