Chapter 316: Alfonso
The dull and dry land is full of orange mist, which is very dangerous no matter how you look at it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
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, the knight said that the wild was full of wandering undead spirits—ghouls, zombies, and skeleton warriors, so numerous that you could meet four or five dozen if you just went for a walk—and even more dangerous were the rotting and mutated animals, the hordes of demon dogs would tear apart any lone creature, and when you were resting in the wilderness, beware of mutated maggots the size of horses, which would spew acid to kill their prey, After that, they will rush up and eat you up.
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 felt in the cabin came back to her heart, and Loria felt that everything around her was very 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 last thing near Stratholme is the zombies, they are powerful, thick-skinned, and have the strengths of other undead, but they have 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 was a little eager to try, it was always a good thing to take a few undead from the world, and it was just in time to test whether the strange stick in her hand had any merit that she didn't know.
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 was a good fighter, and Loria had already had too many strange experiences, and she would not tremble in the face of danger like an ordinary little girl.
The remaining three and a half children were facing the undead for the first time, and Adlina plucked up her courage and told herself 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, she immediately bent down 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.
Pink Lori ran fast, and Alfonso, who followed her, never found a chance to give her a mantra? shield or something, I watched her go directly into the zombie group, and for a moment I thought that this little girl, who was said to be a princess, had already intentionally committed suicide.
Of course, Loria had no intention of committing suicide, these zombies were more agile than she expected, but that was also very limited, she didn't need to atomize at all, she could drill around the zombie horde, no matter how they attacked, they never touched her in the slightest.
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, and the zombie's head was tilted to the side, drooping, unable to lift it again.
If it were an ordinary creature, it would have fallen to the ground a long time ago after receiving such damage, but the zombie with its drooping head turned around and pounced on Loria as if it was not affected at all, 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 her long stick at the zombie's calf again, but this time, she didn't have any effect until her hands were numb.
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 shield of holy light on her body made Loria feel awkward, she couldn't even estimate the distance she moved, and she was photographed by zombies on the edge of the shield twice in a row, fortunately, this is said to be from Alonsus? Fao's spells are so powerful that a few hits from powerful zombies won't hurt at all.
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 letting Alfonso notice the extra weight of a person, she jumped away from the zombie's back, and hit the zombies who were close to Alfonso with a long stick, leading them to the side, and the young warrior found an opportunity to kick away the zombie crawling on her body, and after rolling around on the ground a few times, she got 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. (To be continued.) )
