Chapter 189: The Whole City Transforms
After the brutal battle, the young witchers were completely defeated by their unseemly arrogance.
The thirteen men acted more cautiously, and their reconnaissance methods were not relaxed until the whole team arrived at the intended place, the wall east of Walton.
It may have been attacked earlier, once breached. Of course, there are some traces of repair, but with a little effort, it is easy to climb up.
"How now?" Su Zixia asked.
Li Wei said: "Wait, Feiyun's task for us is to wait for further news here. ”
Everyone was silent, and after a moment, in the darkness not far away, a white figure took shape illusory.
That's Feiyun.
His body is translucent and illusory, apparently not the main body.
But it's enough to deliver some messages.
"The situation in Walton Bazaar has been completely degraded, and the two vampire nobles that the Hohentauven family had set up in Walton have been killed by me, but we have not been able to stop them from activating a circle that is spread throughout the town. After a maximum of an hour, all civilians in Walton Market will be transformed into walking corpses, zombies, and even undead creatures such as ghouls. The only way now is to kill all the living people in Walton Fairground, and purify it with flames. ”
"You can't do that!" This was Su Zixia's first reaction, and he also said directly: "There must be another way......
"No, there's no other way." Feiyun Road.
"You really can't do that." Levi said as well, but he had other considerations, "Daoist Feiyun, I hope you haven't started your slaughter plan yet. ”
“…… Not yet. With the previous cooperation of Li Wei in the management team, Feiyun's tone was slightly calmer.
"That's for the best." "We must not massacre civilians. This matter, if it is poked out, no matter what the truth is, the entire Demon Hunter Guild will be greatly impacted. ”
Feiyun was silent, and he understood the meaning of Levi's words.
Li Wei also did not agree to start the massacre now, but his perspective on the problem was not the same as Su Zixia's, and he did not consider it from the perspective of so-called 'justice' and 'humanity'.
Thinking about it coldly, choosing to slaughter may be the best choice for the time being. After all, with only an hour left, I am afraid that there is no way to reverse the evil spell that has been inflicted on the entire population of Walton. These civilians are about to turn into the undead, so simply purify them while they are alive, which will be faster, less difficult to fight, and safer.
But the slaughter of the walking dead, ghouls, is one thing, and the slaughter of civilians is another.
Whatever the reason, once the words 'Demon Hunters slaughter civilians' get out, it's going to be a big problem. The pressure on public opinion and politics will be very terrifying, especially the current political situation in the Kingdom of Westdum is in an eventful time.
"Do you have any ideas?" Feiyun's tone softened even more.
Levi didn't hide his secrets, he thought for a while, and then gave a suggestion: "We can only wait now, wait until the corpses of Walton's residents are transformed, and then we can do it." However, in this hour's time, we can't wait stupidly. ”
"I suggest this, now that you've ridden out the vampires in Walton, there shouldn't be so much danger in the town. We sent some people, people who knew more about this area, into Walton to see if we could find any solution, and those who were sent in would have to evacuate in half an hour at most. ”
"Walton Fair has two entrances and exits, and it is surrounded by walls. We can concentrate our forces to block one of them, and the other will be left to its fate. ”
"In addition to our responses, the most important thing is to contact the Kingdom officials. In the worst-case scenario, all these residents have mutated, two or three thousand undead creatures, and we can't kill a dozen or so people from exhaustion, and we still need official action in the end. ”
Feiyun's phantom body was silent for a while, and then said: "Just do as you say, contact the official of the kingdom, I'll come, the nearest legion should be the garrison of Luo Ge Fort, there should be one or two regiments of infantry, and Luo Ge Bao belongs to Duke Jiang Yunliang's sphere of influence, there is his legion, his relationship with the Demon Hunter Guild is quite good, report the situation clearly, and should be able to send troops to solve it." ”
……
An hour later, the Witcher squad, assembled at the north gate of Walton Market, welcomed the first wave of enemies - more than twenty walking corpses.
Previously, two hunters who had some research on undead transformation, evil magic, black witchcraft and the like had already made a trip to the town. A brief examination obviously does not find any solution - unless there are strong people in the Holy Light Church now, it may be possible to turn the situation around.
An hour earlier, Captain Feiyun had already made contact with the kingdom army in Fort Rogo, and half an hour ago, Fort Rogoburg replied to the message, saying that he would send some soldiers over first, and hoped that the demon hunters could control the gaffe and not let the undead in Walton Bazaar spread too much.
So, after a short discussion, thirteen young witchers guarded Walton's north gate, and at the south gate, Feiyun Dao Leader was alone to guard it.
Twenty or so walking corpses, which is nothing in the eyes of the demon hunters.
"Don't do it, they didn't notice us, wait until these monsters are a little farther away, touch them from behind, and solve them quietly. Take three of you, Moeller. Levi said.
"Roger." Moeller nodded.
In this team of young witchers, Levi's status is no longer low. After the battle of the manor, even Su Zixia and Moeller were convinced of him. It was up to him to call the shots, but no one would be unconvinced.
Moeller took two other men with him, and passed. And before he returned, there was movement at the North Gate again.
It's still just a walking corpse, and it's rare for a monster like a ghoul to have an extreme level level.
But...... This time, the number is overwhelming!
Even with Levi's eyesight, he couldn't see how many monsters were pouring out of the north gate!
Hundreds? Thousands?
Taking a deep breath, Levi pulled out the Ember Demon Knife and roared, "Up!" Occupy the favorable terrain and block the gates! ”
With that, he took the lead and rushed over, quickly eliminating the two monsters with one knife and one punch.
The mage armor that was re-blessed on his body was not something that ordinary monsters could break. Let these walking corpses scratch their teeth, trying to break through the mage's armor I don't know how long. This also allows Levi to completely ignore the defense and concentrate on killing the enemy.
