Nala wielded her knight’s sword and cautiously observed the corpse in front of her.

Abruptly, the walking corpse charged towards her. She accurately thrusted her knight’s sword forward and pierced the heart of the corpse, but it was still moving as normal, trying to claw and scratch at Nala to bring her down. Nala scowled and swung her sword again, cutting the monster’s head off.

“So only by chopping their heads off can they be granted slumber?” with that in mind, Nala hurriedly ran towards the victim who had fallen on the ground.

The man’s neck was already ripped open as his blood continued to flow out without stopping, obviously a hopeless cause. His eyes were looking up at the sky, almost as if to blame something above.

Nala put down her knight’s sword and took the man’s hands, then prayed for him with the wish that he would be able to ascend to Heaven above and obtain eternal peace.

Soldiers riding their horses quickly arrived behind her with torches in their hands.

“Princess, what are your orders?” the soldiers all drew their weapons as they looked down in confusion at the rotten corpse on the ground.

“The dead seems to be coming back to life” Nala stood up and looked down at the corpse that had lost all signs of life yet still managed to crawl back up at her feet, she then picked up her sword again.

“My god, what is that thing!?” the soldiers raised their swords towards the staggering corpse in fright, they had never seen a person whose neck was messed up so badly yet could still remain alive, combined with Nala’s words just now, all they felt was fear.

“Calm yourselves!” Nala swung her sword and chopped off the newly reanimated corpse’s head, then turned around to this squad of soldiers: “There’s an evil presence that’s causing these dead bodies to be resurrected, those who are bitten to death will also turn into the same monsters”

“Send two people back to report the situation and have them send more people to reinforce us. The rest of us here only have a single job” Nala could still hear frightened screams coming all over the village: “Cut down these monsters’ heads and grant them eternal slumber, understood?”

“Under…stood!” the soldiers hesitated briefly before loudly responding.

After giving out her orders, Nala quickly ran towards the screams. Seeing the Princess acting without hesitation, the soldiers also felt a sense of power running through their bodies. The Princess was only a 17-year-old girl, yet she could fight without hesitation, so what reason did they have to refuse?

“Villagers, do not panic! Remain in your homes! If anyone sees a moving dead body, run towards the military camp at the south” Nala loudly shouted: “We are soldiers of the Kingdom, we will ensure your safety!”

A large number of walking corpses turned and charged towards Nala’s group. Without a hint of fear in her mind, Nala’s sword was without hesitation, she was such a person, once she had determined something to be the right thing to do, she would do it without hesitation.

Just like how she decided to come forward and become the ‘Saintress of Salvation’ as it would please her mother.

The ugly corpses fell one by one as Nala had granted them a silent slumber. Furthermore, as the report was brought back, Rhys who had taken control of the situation also sent out many soldiers to aid her in cleaning up the walking corpses.
