Chapter 265: Survivors

"Well, these are wild beasts, you can eat them yourself!"

Zhao Li stood in front of a large pile of bloody prey and inspected, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen of the nearest undead servants swarmed up, grabbed them aside and divided the corpses.

Behind Zhao Li, there are also many undead servants - these are the guys who have completed the hunt and returned with the prey, if it is a monster, Zhao Li will first take out the "mutation inducer", and then let his subordinates eat it - and finally resurrect the skeleton shelf.

"These are- wait, what are these?"

was about to subconsciously wave his hand, but Zhao Li stopped, what did he see?

Several bloodied, armoured corpses - these are human corpses!

In the depths of this swamp, it is difficult to see a few people all year round, how can several human corpses suddenly appear?

Zhao Li walked up to the corpses and turned them over.

"The soldiers of Nigad?"

Zhao Li recognized the source of the patterns on these soldiers at a glance.

These soldiers are quite well-equipped, and Pu Ran is not an ordinary big-headed soldier.

"The Nigadians have cleared the monster obstacles along the way and begun to march?"

Zhao Li muttered to himself, and then felt that something was wrong, even if he attacked, he should have gone all the way down Peel Town and Keyi City, how could he send these elite soldiers into the swamp?

"Reincarnation..."

Zhao Li could only think about it in this direction, since the reincarnation of the black cloak was not dead, then with the advance of the Nigadian army, it was not impossible for soldiers to be sent to search around, but I don't know if it was a coincidence that there were soldiers entering the depths of the swamp.

Since these soldiers didn't have any injuries to their heads, there should be no problem with the memory preservation, and without saying a word, Zhao Li straightened up and began to chant the spell spell of "Natural Disaster Descends": "%......&@+¥!@···"

After a shrouded black mist, several bloodstained dead bodies of the Nigadian scouts staggered to their feet...

Zhao Li looked at the memories of these soldiers on the spot, and after a while, a playful smile appeared on his face: "Interesting, I haven't come to you yet, you rushed to the door, and Baroness Anna..." It's good, it's good. ”

······

Peel Town.

As a victor, it is not normal to stay in a good house and set up a tent instead, the army of Nigad is not a soldier or liberator, and their commander, the Duke of Amberly, is not a good man.

Thus all the townsfolk of Peel were now driven out of the town, except for the necessary servants who had been left behind to do odd jobs, and a few women who had been left behind by the Nigadian as playthings.

Of course, Peeltown wasn't a big place, and it couldn't accommodate an entire army of Nigadians.

As a result, half of the Nigadian soldiers burrowed into the town, while the other half of the Nigadian were stationed outside the town, tasked with guarding the townsfolk and the Pure Brotherhood members who had been brought back—good labor and cannon fodder for the townspeople and captured Pure Brotherhood members.

The center of Peeltown, the Baron's Castle, was requisitioned by the nobles of the Nigadian army.

The Baronial Castle during these days will serve as a temporary command for the Great Army.

As for the original owner of the castle, Baroness Anna, although the Nigadian also recognized her baronial status and did not deprive her of any power, the new baronesse's status in the castle was not much different from that of a servant or a prisoner.

The only thing that comforted Baroness Anna was that the black-cloaked stranger hadn't broken his promise—he had given her a whole ton of gold, which was now in the cellar, and no one was going to snatch it.

Baroness Anna was most glad that she had provided a clue to Franconian - the more than 100 gold coins left by Paine in the castle were gone, and she did not know whether they had been taken by the Nigadian or someone in the confusion, and she did not dare to question them.

And she knew that by tomorrow, when the Nigadian army would continue to advance, she would be left with a ruined mess of the old, the weak, the sick, and the sick, and what would she do when she had no money or people?

A whole ton of gold would at least allow her to continue to live a good life after the departure of the Nigadian army.

And now, the only thing Baroness Anna had to do was stay in her room in the castle, do nothing, and wait for the damned Nigadian to leave on their own.

At this moment, Anna seemed to hear a commotion coming from the Grand Ballroom on the first floor of the castle, now the temporary operational headquarters of the Nigadian Army.

Anna couldn't help but be curious, and put her ear close to the door, to hear what was going on downstairs.

Unfortunately, however, it was impossible to hear clearly, and as for going out of the door—it was impossible, for there were Nigadian soldiers guarding her outside the door.

······

The Grand Ballroom on the first floor, in the Temporary Operations Headquarters.

A pale and almost de-empowered scout, covered in mud and blood, was being supported by two soldiers as he told the commander of the army, Duke Amberly, the Reincarnation Blade, and two demon hunters about their discovery.

"The captain took us around a lot of dangers... We went deep into the swamp..."

"We've found a different group of monsters... It's all undead who have been resurrected by dark wizards..."

"We were discovered... Ahem..."

There was still an unforgettable fear in the eyes of the young scout, and the few words he described simply could not explain the process from going deep into the swamp to resurrecting the dead.

A full twelve of the most elite scouts, each of whom is the most outstanding warrior - they are selected for their ability to fight a ghoul in one-on-one.

But in the face of those undead monsters, their resistance is surprisingly powerless.

This is a very strange thing, as we all know, the strength of the resurrected corpse should not be as strong as it was before the death.

But the young scout saw with his own eyes an undead ghoul with half of his ribs exposed, ignoring his comrade's silver sword, and a single blow nearly broke him at the waist.

There are also undead water ghosts that look a little different—water ghosts are no more threatening than a wild dog to the most elite scout warriors.

But this time the undead water ghosts encountered in the depths of the swamp were a little different, with exaggerated sharp claws growing on their webbed palms, and at the same time, their strength and speed were not decent, at least not a little stronger than the water ghosts that these warriors had encountered.

From the time they were discovered to the first moment they were encountered, the elite scout squad had lost half of their lives, including their captain.

What follows is the story of retreating while fighting... In short, the only one who escaped alive from the depths of the swamp was such a wounded scout, and it seems that the reason why he was able to escape in the end was that the other party gave up the pursuit...
