Under the Winter Mountains, the battlefield of Plath City

The corpses roared through the streets of the old days of laughter and laughter, and rushed to the last place where the living gathered.

The remaining soldiers on the city walls had slowly retreated into Price Castle, but Sien, as the lord of the city, chose to be the queen.

When the fleeing soldier reported that the last two carts of oil cans in the city had not had time to be pulled back, and the soldiers were already besieged by the zombie horde, he immediately rushed forward with his few remaining guards, which was the last hope for the defense of Plath Castle.

The lone zombie was not much of a threat in the face of the sharp weapons of humans, and the nervous city lord's guard quickly found the soldiers guarding next to the two carts of oil cans, at this time they had already been devoured by the zombies, and only four people were left to resist stubbornly, and the arrival of the city lord gave them hope.

Soon Theon rescued them, slashing all the way, and soon the last team fought their way through a difficult road. As they walked on the main road not far from the gate of Price Castle, they could already see the defenders in the distance who were still struggling to resist the scattered zombies rushing towards them, and when the city lord Theon returned, they immediately hid in the castle and lowered the drawbridge.

But at this moment, a large group of zombies suddenly rushed out at the end of the road, and the team was wrapped in dumplings at once, and the team pulling the last two truckloads of oil cans fell into the encirclement of the zombie group at once!

The soldiers who were still guarding the city gate in the distance saw that the city lord was surrounded, and wanted to rush up with a team, but they were stopped by the middle-aged soldiers on the side, and the middle-aged soldiers saw very clearly that there was still a steady stream of zombies flocking to the city lord. To put it mildly, Theon can't be saved.

The soldier hesitated for a moment, and could see that he was still a soldier who was more loyal to the city lord, and knowing that going alone was tantamount to death. At this time, he remembered the black-haired girl with half a terrible eye, that girl had saved the lives of countless soldiers in the defense of the city, maybe she had a way?

The soldier hurriedly rushed out, because the black-haired girl was fighting on another main road, covering the retreat of a few soldiers, and did not notice that the city lord was besieged.

But on the way to the black-haired girl, there were still many zombies, and the soldier thought that he didn't have the ability to be a hundred, so he could only shout: "Zoya, the city lord is trapped!" ”

...

Zoya, who had just rescued a person in the distance, was stunned, she clearly saw that Sien had led most of the soldiers to retreat to the vicinity of the gate of Price Castle, how could it be besieged, could it be that the castle was lost?

Turning her head to see that the gate of the castle was still guarded by human soldiers, she hurriedly turned back. Relying on the guidance of the shouting soldiers, he found that the city lord Xi'en, who had been besieged by a sea of corpses, in a small courtyard of two earthen buildings.

She snatched the sword of the soldier on one side, and with the quality of her half-corpse not being attacked by the zombie horde, she rushed to where Sien was.

She was exhausted from the long hours of fighting, but she still persevered. This is so that the people of the village can survive, and even more so that the man can see himself when the first rays of light shine on the city tomorrow.

They forcibly cut a path along the way, but they were pushed aside by a group of zombies, who would attack the zombies that approached them, and they were not like other zombies, who would actively besiege and attack Sion and his party who were still in the corpse.

Thinking of the necromancer that Ray once said, Zoya thought for a moment. The zombies that first poured into the city did not move quickly and quickly and organized as they did during the siege. It took a while for the only reason why it became so flexible, and the only explanation was that a necromancer had entered the city and started organizing zombies.

Sure enough, the girl has privileges and the sister has preferential treatment, and the girl Zoya actually bumped into the necromancer, the "headquarters" of the zombie army, by mistake.

The necromancer didn't seem to notice an uninvited guest at his side, still under the guard of a circle of tall zombies, concentrating on commanding the "Eternals" who only craved flesh and blood.

With the cracks exposed between the zombies' pushes, she saw a black-robed figure in the middle, holding up the white bone staff in his hand and chanting some incantation.

Zoya was about to rush forward to kill the necromancer, but found that the long sword in her hand was already covered with gaps, and she could only check it around. The surrounding zombie hordes were still crowding towards the small courtyard where Sien was trapped, many of them were transformed by soldiers killed in battle in the city, and Zoya easily got two long swords that were not too worn.

But when she was about to attack the necromancer again, she found that she didn't know when, and the tall zombies around the necromancer were in a circle again, and at this time her eyes were aimed at the building next to the necromancer.

It took a lot of effort for her to rush into the building, there were no people or zombies inside, and she easily climbed onto the roof and found the necromancer's location, but there was not much time left before the sun went down, and the city was gradually falling into darkness.

Zoya let out a shout and lunged down from the sky at the necromancer who was still holding the staff of bones aloft and chanting incantations. The steel sword that flashed with cold light was about to take the life of the necromancer who should not exist in the world, but Zoya suddenly felt a sharp pain in her left eye, and suddenly she couldn't maintain her posture in the sky, and fell to the ground with a cry of pain.

I only heard an ugly voice sounding above her head: "I wonder, why when the city lord is surrounded, those soldiers actually guard the city gate and refuse to close, it turns out that you little mouse is doing tricks, they must want you to save the city lord back, right?" ”

Zoya raised her head with difficulty, the sharp pain in her left eye paralyzed the nerves in the right half of her body, and she stubbornly looked at the necromancer in front of her.

I saw that the necromancer slowly took off his hood, what a face it was! I saw that the whole head was a shriveled big bald head, and the eyelids seemed to have lost their moisture elasticity, and they were brought together, leaving only a gap that emitted a ghostly light. The whole skin of the face was wrinkled, like a living mummy, completely dehydrated, and took on a disgusting waxy yellow.

The necromancer's idle left hand was held in the void, and Zoya was slowly floating in the air and was pulled in front of the necromancer. The necromancer smiled and said, "Don't worry, the city lord won't die so soon." As long as he's still around, the gates won't be closed, and he'll just watch as our army of Eternals devours the city! As for you, a good living test subject, you're definitely better suited to be a general of the Eternal army than these rancid creatures! ”

In the eyes of the necromancer, this human girl, who has been half zombified, is indeed a new discovery, and may be able to make a new discovery of her undead summoning technique, without taking this guinea pig into account at all.

It's just that the little mouse said coldly: "There is one thing I think you said wrong! "An ordinary steel sword stabbed the necromancer up in the jaw and pierced his head directly." I'm not a guinea pig! Zoya thrust hard, completely sinking the hilt of the sword into the necromancer's jaw!

The necromancer screamed in pain, but his broken head could no longer hold his soul, his shell had been broken, and the undead could finally return to the lap of the underworld. But at this moment, a cloud of white smoke rushed out of the necromancer's eyes, trying to escape from this place, but uncontrollably rushed towards Zoya's gray white left eye.

Zoya screamed, and the skin under her gray left eye instantly turned a lot whiter, and in an instant she seemed to see many fragments that did not belong to her, an ugly man was chased and beaten, his wife and daughter were kidnapped by a group of robbers, and his two sons were hacked to death by robbers. For revenge, he voluntarily believes in the cult of evil gods, sacrifices his body in exchange for evil necromancy, and so on.

When Zoya woke up from that painful memory again, she was already surrounded by zombies walking aimlessly. After losing control of the necromancer, the zombie hordes reverted to their original appearance. She had a vague sense that the zombies walking in front of her seemed to be connected to her, and they were some of the same as the circle of zombies that had originally stood beside the necromancer.

The sound of fighting in the distance woke up Zoya, and she swept out of the corner of her eye, and saw that a large number of zombies had flocked to the gate of the city that was still holding on, and she hurriedly rushed to the city lord Sien and others who were still besieged and were already crumbling.

"Theon! Don't get those tanks anymore, get out of here! Zoya shouted, and rushed all the way to Tsien, who was still resisting, but who had already died in battle, and who were already unable to carry the oil tank back to the castle.

Seeing that this little girl also came to the rescue, Sien slashed a zombie with a sword, and said with a wry smile: "It's too late, the sun has set, you go back and lead my people to continue to resist!" Then! You will be the seventeenth Lord of Plath City! ”

After saying that, Sien threw the sword in his hand that symbolized the city lord of Plath City to Zoya downstairs, and Zoya subconsciously took the long sword. I saw that the only two remaining guards were still loyally defending their allegiance to the monarch, but Theon smashed the oil can out hard!

shouted to Zoya, who was still downstairs, "The night has come!" I can't go back, let's go! You are the hope of the city! After saying that, he threw out a pot of oil again!

Zoya knew what he was going to do, gritted her teeth, and turned around and rushed towards the gates of Plath Castle. She knew that Theon was right, once it was night, humans were limited by their vision, which was very unfavorable to fighting against the zombie army, and all she could do now was to return to the city gate and order the soldiers who were still holding out to close the city gate for the final defense!

Theon threw pot after pot of oil out, the sound of the canister cracking becoming the embellishment of the roar, only to be exchanged for the last of the lord's free laugh.

The oil tank is gone, and the life of the city lord is coming to an end. When the first zombie bit the neck of the last guard, the guard looked at the monarch he was loyal to and threw his sword with all his might: "Great... My lord! ”

Sien took the sword, kicked through the last pot of oil, and laughed loudly: "My name is Sion Barrans, the lord of Plath City, and I am honored to die today!" A sword slammed into the wall, and a little spark flew out!

...

"Boom!" A burst of flames followed, and a fiery dragon raged at a rapid speed, completely sweeping away the unclean spirits in the city, and bringing the last bit of light to the city!

Ever since absorbing the necromancer's soul, the zombies seem to be terrified of Zoya and have made way for her. Because of this, Zoya quickly approached the gates of Plath Castle.

She looked back at the flames that rose into the sky, gritted her teeth, raised the sword of the city lord in her hand, and shouted at the human soldiers who were still guarding the castle gate, fighting hard, "Retreat to the castle!" There is no one outside the city anymore! Close the door! Close the door! ”

...

A bright moon hung high in the night sky, and the gate of the castle had been completely sealed, but the living people in the castle had no sense of security at all, and they looked at the zombies wandering aimlessly below, not knowing what the future holds.

Zoya brought back the Castle Lord's sword, as well as the Lord's death. Having lost their leader, almost everyone was in despair, except for Zoya.

She stood on the female wall of the castle and looked at the sky, six hours before dawn. The necromancers outside the city didn't seem to have noticed that their companions who had entered the city had been killed, which undoubtedly gave the humans who were still in the city a chance to breathe.

But Zoya knew that this respite was precious, and even the next second the zombie army would rush up and flood the last stronghold of the living, and all she had to do was hold on until dawn. To this day, she remained steadfast in her belief that the man would return.

She turned her head to look, and although the few remaining warriors were still holding on to their posts, there was an air of despair all over her body.

Zoya didn't like this feeling, she pulled up a soldier with a drooping head, it was an uncle who looked forty years old, and said in a loud voice: "Get up, soldier! Always ready to fight, just hold out until dawn and reinforcements will arrive! ”

But her words were useless, and a large hand grabbed her wrist, the only remaining squad leader in the entire city of Plath, this man had fluffy brown hair, and his armor was covered in blood.

He wanted to press Zoya's hand to grab the soldier, but found that the slender arm was as motionless as a steel sword, and said with a slight surprise on his face: "Lady Zoya, let him go." We all know that there are no reinforcements left, and this will be our last stop. ”

Zoya still put the soldier down, but said in a loud voice, "Stupid! Ray will definitely come back with the dragon to save us! Just keep it up and keep it up until dawn..."

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the team leader, "Ms. Zoya, thank you very much for saving the lives of many of us present when you were defending the city. But not everyone is as brave and fearless as you, if that man didn't die outside, he must have fled, how could he come back to this mortal place? ”

When the squad leader saw that the soldier was let go, he shook his head and said something to Zoya and left, which was exactly what everyone said, no one would want to come back and die.

Zoya's face turned pale suddenly, but in fact, this was the last thing she wanted to think about. The man's last words flashed before her eyes, and the last plea of the city lord Theon, and her wavering heart strengthened again, and she said loudly, "If you want to stay where you are, and let the monsters down there tear your throats, just sit still." Hiding in the castle are your wives, children, neighbors, and people! Let those monsters trample on your corpses and destroy everything you have!

I'm different, I'll fight to the end until I see the first light before dawn, I'm more hopeful than anyone here, I'm going to live! See the sun tomorrow! ”

With that, Zoya waved her sword and walked down the castle, leaving a bunch of soldiers with solemn faces looking at each other. I don't know when, a soldier stood up again, clenched the spear in his hand, and stood straight, he... I want to live!
