Chapter 712 - Legion of the Dead 3 (1/2)

After defeating the troops of Baroque and Libiya support led by Mikhail, the continental alliance troops began to clear the battlefield.

They gathered all the corpses and the dead to bury them in one place and then began to classify the Gigants and the weapons.

‘Kuk! To be defeated by the Symphonia men again!’

Sabina was taken captive for assisting Mikhail, and she didn’t like it.

At that time, she heard the whispers of those behind her.

“Tch, this is a lot worse than expected.”

“Well. We had to take help from pirates, whose roots aren’t on the ground, I don’t know if they are plain stupid or…”

The insulting remarks made Sabina angry.

Those who were held captive, all thought that the reason for the defeat was because of the Libiya troops.

And she couldn’t accept the insults thrown at her men.

These men of Baroque couldn’t even handle the weapons or form in line, and now they were hissing from behind!

‘What kind of a man is he?! I will tear him to pieces right away!’

She was enraged and looked around.

Unlike most of the prisoners who were squatted and looked grim, there were those who seemed way too cool for captives.

“We need to start the operation as directed by the elders.”

“Right. It doesn’t matter if we are to do it earlier than expected.”

They were the warlocks of the Veritas Magic tower, hiding as the reinforcements of Libiya.

Warlocks, disguised as ordinary soldiers, whispering in low voices.

Shortly before the military service, there was an order they heard from Elder Zemerton.

It was to spread the improved Zombie poison when a huge fight happens or when the Baroque Empire gets defeated.

They took out a bottle that had liquid in it, jumped out, and started scattering it in all directions.

“Uh? What?!”

“Catch them!”

The soldiers of the Castia Kingdom who were managing the prisoners thought that the men were trying to escape.

However, the prisoners who ran over were throwing something out of a bottle.

Clang! Shake! Shake!

“What are they doing?”

“Don’t watch! Catch them!”

The officers and knights who were watching from behind were scolding the soldiers.

The warlock, which was one of them, threw a bottle at the dead and laughed.

“Ugh, it is too late now…!”

“Die, you bastard!”

Sabina, who had been following, kicked down the warlocks.

The warlocks, who fell down, rolled over to the corpses’ side, and Castia soldiers captured Sabina.

“Let me go! I need to hit that dirty bastard, I need to kill him!”

“Don’t mess around and step back! If you think we’ll see you as a noble prisoner, then you are wrong!”

Commander level nobles were mostly favored than ordinary soldiers when captured.

It was because they could be used as ransom or for diplomatic situations.

However, due to the current circumstances of the troops which had to hurry to Nemesis, there was no time to give preferential treatment to others.

“Hiik! Help me! Get me out of here!”

The warlock who fell into the corpse pile kept on pleasing.

When the soldiers saw that, they couldn’t help but laugh at the warlocks, but then, an ominous energy rose from the corpses.

The bodies began to flinch and move all of a sudden!

“Wh-What is that?!”

“The corpses are waking up?”

When the soldiers were puzzled and shocked, the corpses made eerie sounds and struck the warlock who was between them.

Kikikiki!

“Ah, move away!”

The warlocks got bit and killed in an instant because all the corpses rose at once.

The fellow warlocks who saw it frowned.

‘Huh, that idiot!’

‘That guy is so stupid that he is getting killed like that.’

While the warlocks who had run over to another corpse pit were doing their thing as their confusion grew.

From the pit where the liquid was spilled, hundreds of corpses were coming out.

And when the corpses began to climb up the pit, soldiers were shaken.

“Zo-zombie!”

“Sh*t, stop them!”

The soldiers near the pit swung their spears and swords.

However, there were more zombies that were climbing up than falling down, the soldiers who were close to the pit ran for their lives right away.

‘Wh-what the hell is that?!’

Sabina, frozen at what she witnessed, ran away till she saw a zombie.

Just before she got caught by the zombie, a knight on a horse slashed the neck of the zombie with his sword.

“Don’t panic and attack!”

“Wahhh!”

The soldiers shouted with weapons in their hands and fear in their hearts.

However, even after being pierced in their hearts, the zombies continued to attack.
