Chapter 408: The Long Battle - Part 2 (1/2)

'Does she need our assistance?'

That was the first thing that came up in his head as he watched the figure blast the zombies. No matter what stage the zombies were, whether stage-3 zombies, stage-4 zombies, or even stage-5 zombies, she killed them with a swing of her lance.

Just before, he was complaining about her. Now he was embarrassed by his negative thoughts about her.

Gan Shuo filled his spot and continued the battle. From time and again, he could not help but peek at the figure in the black armor. Despite the zombies' number, actually, this was not a battle but a slaughter.

He tried to see the battle from the positive side. He found out that it was indeed a one-sided slaughter. None of them had fallen under the zombie's attack.

Time, what they needed was time until they killed all the zombies. Gan Shuo regained the spirit that had been lost after the prolonged battle. Seeing the lone figure in the front of the battle, that sparked his spirit.

Time passed quickly and slowly the number of zombies dwindled. Gan Shuo could tell by the frequency of the attack.

Once, he found another thing that puzzled him. The corpses did not disappear after the zombies were killed. It was different when he battles the zombies outside.

It was an unanswered mystery he could not understand.

”Sheron!? Sheron! Sheron!!!” King Biron raised his voice, but his call was never answered. His subordinate did not respond as he felt the connection between him and Sheron was forcefully cut.

”That b*tch betrayed me!?” King Biron could not think of another reason why their connection was cut. If Sheron died, he would know that. His connection with Sheron was deep enough to know her condition by the connection.

”No, I also lost control over the zombies in Hangzhou. Even Sheron can break free from me, she could not take over the zombies under my control…” King Biron's eyes widened as he thought of something, ”Don't tell me the human force broke into the city already?”

Sheron died, and his armies were being slaughtered. That was another explanation why his connection was cut from Sheron and also the armies.

”Your Majesty, King Rudin sends an envoy to talk with you,” one of his subordinates approached and spoke to him.

”Huh!? Does Rudin send an envoy? Lead the envoy to meet me!” King Biron waved his hand at his subordinate.

The latter nodded his head and left. After a moment the subordinate led a black-cloaked zombie to meet him.

”This Envoy Ardin greets King Biron,” the envoy knelt.

”What does Rudin want to say to me?” King Biron did not have time for the formality and did not bother with the useless talk.

”King Rudin asked me to come to offer you a temporary truce,” Envoy Ardin conveyed his lord's intention.

”A temporary truce…” King Biron was about to refuse the truce. He had come this far, he should march forward and slay his enemy. But then, he remembered the connection cut with Sheron.

If Hangzhou was attacked or even already fell into the enemy's hands, he would be at a disadvantage as he had to face the enemy from the front and behind. He would get pincered by the Dacian Kingdom and also the unknown enemy that attacked his city.

That was bad, especially if there was truly an unknown enemy. After some thoughts, King Biron gave his reply, ”I will accept Rudin's offer. We will have a truce! You can leave now!”

King Biron waved his hand at the envoy. The envoy said nothing and left.

”Leron! Teron!” King Biron called two names.
