Chapter 728 - Before and After 1 (1/2)

Two days from Nemesis.

Reina, who joined the 3rd squad of the Continental Alliance along with the 2nd and 3rd squad of the Saint Guards, was struggling to purify the zombies.

Fortunately, the clean-up went smoothly.

Because the zombie disease was reported right away, and the measures were taken immediately, so they managed to prevent the disease from spreading to nearby larger towns or cities while blocking the borders.

“Catch them! I mean, make sure they don’t scatter them!”

“Look at what the soldiers with the shields are doing! Some of them are running out of there! Stop them quickly!”

In the vast plain, 50,000 soldiers were fighting with 30,000 zombies.

The zombies surrounded by the 3rd squad ran wild to stop the those who escaped.

The 3rd squad had already prepared everything in advance to trap any escaping zombies.

The pits were dug with the Gigants, as well as walls, and fences were built up.

In addition, unlike the 3rd squad, which was organized according to the formation and operation, the zombies turned into prey.

“The large number of zombie outbreaks was because there were people behind the scene which helped in spreading them. It is important to take care of them.”

Reina, who had been very thorough in the zombie outbreak, provided the information she had to her men.

And the commanders, according to her explanation, would move and bring in the zombie, and worked hard in eliminating those who were involved in the spread of zombies.

In the pursuit of those zombies, warlocks of Veritas Magic Tower ran away quickly, yet they were sniffed out and killed.

Thanks to that, the zombie disease spread had stopped at simple steps.

“Kukkkk!”

“Ahhh! My-my arm…!”

At the forefront, the soldiers who were forming the siege screamed when a zombie bit one of them.

Frightened, he ran away and an officer rushed to him and smacked his head.

“You idiot! Don’t get bitten by them!”

“Well, but…”

“Before you turn into a zombie, Your Holiness will save you. The guys who were in charge of the zombies also believe in her!”

As the officer said, there were already hundreds of soldiers isolated in the center.

They were the people who lured the scattered zombies to the plain land.

In the process of coming to the place, nearly half of them were bitten by zombies, but the rest were holding on fine.

Even if the Holiness was able to heal it, it didn’t seem right to get recklessly bitten by the zombie.

“How long should I endure this?”

“Until Her Holiness is ready! So, stand up!”

“Can’t we just pushed them away with the Gigants?”

As a young soldier asked by looking at the Gigant, the elder next to him burst into shouts.

“Yeah, you idiot! Imagine if you were to turn into a zombie! There are a lot of allies even among them!”

“Right, my friend from my hometown is in there too!”

At those words, the young soldiers eagerly stopped the zombies again.

When the 3rd squad with Gigants in the back and the shield soldiers in the front were stopping the zombies, the commanders watched all of this happen from a cliff that was overlooking the plain.

“Count Ferrero, how long do I have to wait? We are done preparing.”

A clear and pure voice, which didn’t go well with the battlefields asked.

When asked by Reina, Ferrero seemed sad.

“Wait a minute, please just a moment, Holiness.”

The reason for Ferrero to delay her movement was to confirm the situation.

In fact, even before the siege, there were enemies who were surrounded by his men.

However, it was the first time for Count Ferrero to create a large-scale siege.

Ferrero too wanted to finish up the zombie clean up.

And their purpose wasn’t to purify the zombies, but to conquer the capital of the Baroque Empire.

While they were here, the 1st and 2nd squads went over to Nemesis, while Count Ferrero was stuck with the zombies.

“Sire, I am a professional in the scout unit.”

A messenger’s report Ferrero took a look at the scroll in his hand.

“What does it say?”

At Reina’s question, Ferrero spoke.

“After a thorough 100-kilometer radius search, there were no more zombies.”

“Then all the zombies are the ones gathered in here.”
