Chapter 194: 103 The One Called the Saint (Part Two)
A large city fairly close to the village of Rost had been burned down to the ground, practically wiped off from the map
The city didn’t have outer walls or palisades to begin with, ainst theto ransack thes and their skeletal remains, countless piles of corpses, and broken weapons stabbed into the ground could be seen
This was the reality of the warzone created by the civil war taking place within the Lo around the sites of wanton destruction Those things hadn’t been created by Vampires – no, it was simply this world’s ‘law of nature’ at play
A portion of the people who died in Negative Fields like battlefields would inevitably end up as an undead The scene playing out before our eyes was one such case
The civil war of Lo the undead
“I-it’s a carriage!”
Even within the devastated cityscape where the undead freely roamed about, survivors still existed These survivors, basically refugees, spotted our carriage and urgently ran towards us
“Please, save us!”
“Help us! We don’t have anything to eat… My child,around here Please save us!”
The refugees quickly surrounded our carriage
Although so the skeleton horses, their attention was soon shi+fted away and focused on the living knights escorting the carriage as well as us riding inside the vehicle
The escorting knights tried to push the refugees back
“Everyone, get back! Now!”
“How insolent! Who do you think you are in the presence of!”
Unfortunately for thehts had said produced the exact opposite effect to what they desired
Because the refugees thought that if the person inside the carriage was someone important, then he’d surely save theently looked around and saw the zoe’s location Unable to stay cal their swords
That only sowed even ht end up seeing casualties with one wrongonly a few dozen soon ballooned past a hundred-plus in no tiees Froer than ten were a the ed to somehow survive the warzone But their future reone They didn’t have anything to eat nor drink All they could do for noas to run around trying to evade the roa undead
Charlotte could only ruefully look on at the tearful crowd
As for Barus, he just sat in his seat with a tightly-cla to decide whether or not he could afford to take care of all these people
I addressed hih you are a prince of their kingdohts by ht be able to shelter them Our camp isn’t too far away froh h provisions and drinkable water…”
“All excuses, I see”
Barus smiled bitterly at my observation “Yes Indeed, all excuses However, if I try to save one person, ittwo others”
“Your side surely has soht?”
He turned his head and looked at me
I continued on, “Even if he’s a Va him so that he could safely hide somewhere I want you to hand over that information”
He nodded at my abrupt demand “But of course If that’s what it takes to prevent the Theocratic E, then all the ood”
I stepped outside the carriage and then lightly snapped round all around us Soon, well-ares were suees all screamed at this sudden event
Even Barus looked shocked by what he saw Which was understandable, since this would be his first ti me summon the holy undead
Skeletons went out to hunt down the zo closer towards our location Meanwhile, skeleton es put some distance between thees had the hundred-plus refugees surrounded fro to do?!”
“He, he’s a Necro toout in fear and nervousness Charlotte worked hard to cal look at the skeleton reat opportunity had presented itself This should be an ideal time to take the ‘Aztal rune’ out for a test drive, wouldn’t you say?
Skeleton es knelt down and pressed their foreheads on the staves held in their hands Soon, prayers and hyees’ eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when the beautiful hys
Their confused, chaotic clarew quieter
The sacred hy up their murky, confused minds
Not only that, they dazedly stared at the skeleton es as if they had beco up from the undead
This aura of divinity spread out like ripples on a cales, who could be called Priests at this stage, raised up their staves filled with gathered divinity
