The dull and dry land is full of orange mist, which is very dangerous no matter how you look at it.

Everyone carefully clenched their weapons - Loria walked in front with her long stick, Alfonso had already taken charge of the rear of the palace with her sword and shield, and Xide held the stones he picked up on the road, barely protecting Adlina and Spreig, who were walking in the middle and unarmed.

Loria had heard Clement describe the situation in the Eastern Plaguelands, and the knight said that the wilderness was full of wandering undead—ghouls, zombies, and skeleton warriors—so numerous that if you went for a walk, you could meet four or five dozen Cheng dù Even more dangerous are the decaying and mutated animals, with hordes of demon dogs tearing apart any lone creatures, and when you're resting in the wild, watch out for mutated maggots the size of horses, which spew acid to kill their prey and then swarm up and devour you.

In short, in Clement's story, the Eastern Plague Lands is a source of nightmares that a good child must never set foot in.

But they had walked nearly a kilometre north, and they had not seen anything that was half moving—was it due to luck, or were they right in the center of the storm?

The sense of absurdity that she had had in the cabin came back to her heart, and Loria felt that everything around her was wrong...... When she began to suspect that this was not near Stratholme, a small group of undead finally appeared.

A dozen rather low-level undead zombies, slowly approaching the boys and girls, they were the first victims of the natural plague, the undead who were directly transformed from humans by the plague.

The most important thing near Stratholme is the zombies, they are extremely powerful, and they have thick skin and meat. It also has the same strengths as other undead, but has fatal flaws in speed and intelligence.

Miss Loria used to be not afraid of zombies, but now that she is a vampire, she is even more afraid of these low-speed targets...... She's a little eager to try, and it's always a good thing to take a few undead from the world. It was also a test to see if the strange long stick in her hand had any advantages that she didn't know about.

Miss Loria happily trotted towards the undead with her stick, not noticing the fearful expressions on the faces of the people behind her—except for Alfonso, who was slightly stunned when he saw Loria rushing straight up, and then chased after him with his sword and shield.

Alfonso is a good fighter, and Loria has had too many strange experiences, and she will not be like an ordinary little girl. Trembling in the face of danger.

The remaining three and a half children were facing the undead for the first time, and Adlina summoned up the courage and told herself in her heart that the undead would never be more terrible than the wind and waves at sea, but when she smelled the stench of corpses in the air. Immediately bent over and vomited.

The other two were no better, and Xi De was still holding back his nausea and moving forward in small steps, and Spreg was already lying on the ground in fright, desperately trying to make tears, snot, and vomit.

Even in the Scarlet Abbey, few people noticed the fact that the most lethal weapon of the undead to recruits was always olfactory attacks.

The putrid stench that has been brewing over time is always more disgusting than their ugly and horrible appearance.

Even Loria almost turned around and walked away as she approached - she had been exposed to a lot of rancid stench in the Undercity.

The pink-haired Lori ran fast, and Alfonso, who followed her, never found a chance to give her a mantra or something, so he watched her go straight into the zombie horde, and for a moment thought that this little girl, who was said to be a princess, had already committed suicide.

Loria certainly had no intention of committing suicide. These zombies were a little more agile than she expected, but that Cheng dù was also very limited, and she didn't need to atomize at all. You can drill around the zombie horde, no matter how they attack, you will never touch her.

Finding an opportunity, Loria picked up her long stick and swept it towards the head of a zombie, which was where they looked most vulnerable...... Even when she was a vampire, she was much stronger than the average girl...... There was a sound of bones shattering. The zombie's head was tilted to the side, drooping. I can't lift it anymore.

If it were an ordinary creature, it would have fallen to the ground a long time ago after receiving such damage. But the drooping zombie seemed to be unaffected, turned and pounced on Loria, of course, it couldn't pounce on the vampire whose talent was all above agility, but the Lori vampire couldn't do anything with it - Loria swung a long stick at the zombie's calf again, but this time, she hit the numb hand to no effect.

A bright curtain of light suddenly covered Loria, and Alfonso caught up, raising his sword and slashing at a zombie in front of him, but it was as useless as Loria - the sword only scratched a little of the zombie's skin.

These low-level undead are quite good at defending against physical attacks.

"Hey, do you have any heavy weapons?"

The Holy Light shield on her body made Loria feel awkward, she couldn't estimate the distance she could move, and she was photographed by zombies on the edge of the shield twice in a row, fortunately, this spell that is said to come from Alonsus Fao is very powerful, and it is not a big deal to be slapped by a powerful zombie a few times.

Hearing her words, Alfonso, who lacked experience in fighting the undead, reacted, threw his sword to the ground, held his shield in front of him with one hand to protect the attack, and reached for the mace at his waist with the other.

Seeing Loria teasing zombies with ease, Alfonso underestimated the horror of these undead.

Before Alfonso could reach out for the mace, his shield-holding arm suddenly went numb, he lost consciousness, and was knocked to the ground by the zombie in front of him with a shield.

The zombie crawled on top of Alfonso, desperately stretching its neck and biting down on his throat, and the young warrior instinctively raised his arm to protect the vital ...... Just when he was about to be bitten, the zombie's head suddenly tilted to the side, and Alfonso noticed that the zombie crawling on his back suddenly had an extra Lori at some point.

Loria was fluttering, not even noticing the extra weight of one person, she jumped away from the zombie's back, and hit the zombies who were close to Alfonso with her long stick, leading them to the side, and the young warrior found an opportunity to kick away the zombies crawling on her body, and after rolling on the ground a few times, she climbed up very unsightly.

Alfonso, who stood up, felt very uncomfortable, he obviously came to protect the little girl, but he was saved by the other party.

When the Holy Scriptures asked him about the most precious qualities of human beings, his answer was 'the heart of others'.

But now it seems that he is the one who needs to be protected...... Watching Loria bounce around and lure away a horde of zombies, Alfonso was back to that night all those years ago, re-emerging as the child who watched his teenage brother being slaughtered by orcs
