Chapter 313: Returning to the city
“Humph, don’t try that on me. I won’t let you go unless I receive a million gold coins!” Helen Tina was notorious throughout the seven grand duchies for her insidious schemes. Han Shuo’s naturally wouldn’t believe the words randomly spewing from her mouth. He looked coldly at Helen Tina and said, “The magic crystal cannons are made of many rare magic materials. I want to know if they are afraid of water.”
The first thing Helen Tina did upon waking up was look around, her eyes had taking notes of the group of zombie warriors surrounding the six magic crystal cannons at the river’s bank. She was only distracted because Han Shuo had postured he’d tainted her body. It angered her now that Han Shuo mentioned the magic crystal cannons again. She looked at him and shouted in fury, “Don’t expect to get any useful information from my mouth, you damnable bandit!”
“Bandit? Haha, your Helon Duchy is the true bandit. You’ve pillaged the Brettel City day and night for years. From a big city with hundreds of thousand people, it’s now a deserted city with dozens of thousand people. The people in the city have long since lost their hopes and dreams in life. It’s all thanks to you people. Yet you still have the face to say that I’m the bandit, haha!” Han Shuo recalled the miserable sight of people who lacked the clothes to cover their bodies and the food to fill their stomachs on his way to the Brettel City. His heart ached with grievances.
Helen Tina laughed heartily upon hearing his words. She coldly said, “Such is war. When your Lancelot Empire invaded us seven grand duchies in the past, didn’t you also burn and pillage us? If we hadn’t allied to resist and drive you back, I’m afraid that all of our people would have become slaves already.”
Helen Tina’s words also made sense. Han Shuo pondered for a bit and figured that he shouldn’t sink in further in this matter. Seeing Helen Tina unwilling to say anymore, he said in a cold voice, “It’s not like I can’t do anything just because you don’t say anything, just that I will waste a little more time. To a necromancer, costly manpower is never a problem.”
Han Shuo no longer cared about Helen Tina after speaking. He started to chant the incantation to summon the wood elite zombie.
Han Shuo issued a command when the wood elite zombie appeared. The latter uprooted the big trees one by one like he was the lord of this forest. The Demonslayer Edge then cut them into sections, with the wood elite zombie tying them together by soft branches. Han Shuo and the wood elite zombie had built six huge rafts after half an hour.
During this process, Helen Tina watched Han Shuo and the wood elite zombie closely while sneaking bread from her space ring. Perhaps she’d been hungry for too long as she swallowed the bread very quickly.
Upon completion, the zombie warriors pushed the rafts towards the river. Helen Tina finally couldn’t help but lamented, “No wonder the Church of Light wants to kill you. You can actually summon such miraculous undead creatures!”
Helen Tina didn’t know that the wood elite zombie had in fact been refined from the most ordinary of zombie warrior. As the zombie warrior pushed the six rafts onto the river and placed the six magic crystal cannons on the rafts, Han Shuo breathed a soft sigh of relief. He sent the wood elite zombie and the zombie warriors return to the strange dimension.
Four zombie warriors paddled one raft. When the zombie warriors mobilized their force, the six loaded rafts began to slowly move to the other side of the banks.
Han Shuo once again went over behind Helen Tina at this moment and gently tapped the back of her neck. He said softly and lowly, “You should rest.”
Han Shuo easily lifted Helen Tina up after knocking her unconscious. He then slowly flew over onto a raft and commanded the zombie warriors to cross the river.
Han Shuo avoided some scattered bandit groups along the way, as well as some mercenary bands who’d made a living in the near vicinity. After a trip without any surprise, he finally arrived at Brettel City.
In the spring night, the temperature was just right. The bright moonlight shone gently upon the earth. This could have been a truly warm, peaceful night if it weren’t for the zombie warriors pushing the magic crystal cannons, exuding the sense of death.
When they approached the Brettel City’s gates, the soldiers on the city wall were startled by the moonlight reflecting from the magic crystal cannons. Seeing six huge cannons pointing towards the city’s fortress with some stiff moving figures behind, the soldiers immediately paled in horror.
