Chapter 24 "Preparing for War"

An indescribable scream of pain echoed over the town, waking up the children, adults, and soldiers of the town.

For a moment, the child's cry echoed the terrible scream, which seemed unusually strange.

At the mayor's house, Covester is holding a terrified Shirley and coaxing her as she looks out the window at where the screams are coming from.

It was the house where the newly caught bandit was held, and when he heard the scream, he had a premonition in his heart that this scream must have been made by the undead master!!

If it hadn't been for Madame who had stopped him before, he would probably have been like that bandit, and he would probably have been in bed for days after that, but that bandit would have regretted sneaking into the town now, right?

"Look at him. Xiu Yi said lightly, and then left with a somewhat gloomy expression, he had previously looked back after casting the pain, and found that the three people behind him were all looking at him with a look of horror.

He didn't care what the two soldiers thought of him, but Milena's monster-like eyes made his heart skip a beat.

That look made his heart ache and sad, and reminded him that he had been dead for twenty years, and twenty years could change many, many things, maybe he was no longer the loving father in his daughter's heart twenty years ago, and had completely turned into an evil undead.

Maybe he shouldn't have returned to the spiritual world, and he shouldn't have come back to break the image in his daughter's heart.

He was sad about the way Milina looked at him, but he didn't regret it, what would happen to Shirley if he didn't come back, he didn't dare to think, maybe this was the fate of the undead, right??

"Is it fate??" Xiu Yi was in the town, under the stars, looking at the silver moon hanging in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh, a faint blue and lonely tear fell on the ground, under the silver-white moonlight, it seemed silent and lonely.

Standing at the door of the house, looking at her father, who was sad in the moonlight, Milina also sighed, she was just frightened by the terrible magic before, and she couldn't help but have a trace of fear in her eyes when she looked at Xiuyi, but what a big hurt it was to her father?

The undead are all sad existences, and their struggles in the underworld are entirely because of the sustenance for their family members and lovers in their hearts.

In the middle of the night, Huey lies on the bed in another room of the mayor's house, and Cami lies next to him, quietly telling about his pain.

Although Xiu Yi always thought that Milina did not mean it, the frightened eyes still made him a little sad, and he told his worries and pains one by one.

"I think she was just scared by the magic you used, and you don't need to be so sad. Kami comforted Xiui.

"Perhaps, actually, I just felt sad about the way she looked at me, and I didn't think she hated me or anything...", looking at the ceiling of the guest room, Xiu Yi said slowly.

Kami looked at Xiu Yi next to her, wondering if this man was blaming himself, blaming himself for scaring his daughter, blaming himself for why he didn't return to the spirit realm earlier, blaming himself for not being by her side when his daughter needed to be relied on.

She wanted to open her mouth to comfort him, but she didn't know how to comfort him, maybe tomorrow morning, the two of them would resume their previous relationship, right??

Just when Kami didn't know how to comfort Xiui, Covist suddenly broke down the door and said with a hurried expression, "Oh no, the bandits came down from the mountain and planned to attack the town, and now they are outside the town, Madame asked me to come..."

Halfway through, he couldn't go on, for he saw Kami, lying next to Huey, a ghost with a dark blue color and a tattered dress, an unreadable face, and a translucent body.

In Covis's eyes, ghosts are not a good thing, they often hide in old houses, kill passing travelers, devour their souls, and are not much less vicious than vampires.

Moreover, ghosts are not as easy to deal with as vampires, their "spirits" allow them to be unharmed by ordinary weapons, and they also have very high magic resistance.

All in all, a ghost is a type of undead that is more difficult to deal with than a vampire, and with the ghost type of undead, the character will not have a good character.

So when he saw Kami, Covister was taken aback, and secretly thought in his heart how to keep Huey and Kami from getting close to Shirley and Milina, as well as Milena's son.

Huey didn't notice that something was wrong with Covis, his mind was completely on the news of the bandits' attack, and he hurried out of the room and walked outside.

Kami glanced at Covis, her brows furrowed slightly, she felt that something was not quite right with this man, it seemed that there was some feeling for Xiui, although I don't know where this feeling came from, but Kami just had this strange feeling.

But now wasn't the time to think about it, she shook her head, threw the strange thoughts out of her mind, and then quickly floated towards Xiui, following him.

When Hue came to the outside of the house, he saw the soldiers of the town, all gathered together, being lectured by Milena.

"The number of bandits attacking this time is about 100 people, and we only have 20 people, so you must fight five against one!!Otherwise, you will die!!! Got it!?" Xiu Yi, who was standing in the distance, looked at Milina who was lecturing, and felt very relieved that her daughter had grown up.

"Do you want me to go back to the pendant?" asked Kami, looking at the soldiers and Milina in the distance, as she asked Huey.

"No, I don't. Wait a minute, can you help me disrupt the bandits' attacking team?" Huey shook his head and began to walk slowly towards Milena.

"No problem!!" Kami replied to Xiui with a grin as she looked at Milena in the distance, wondering what she was thinking.

“... Let's go and get ready!!Let's go in five minutes!!!Go and intercept the bandits!!" After the training, Milina asked the soldiers to prepare, and turned to go back to the mayor's house, where she was now temporarily staying, to take a look at the two children, so that she could go to war with peace of mind.

But as soon as she turned around, she saw Xiu Yi who was walking towards her and Kami floating behind Xiu Yi, seeing this, she couldn't help frowning, she knew something about Kami, it was Xiu Yi who said it when he was talking about his experience in the underworld, but Xiu Yi always mentioned it in one stroke and wouldn't say more, which made her feel that there was something not quite normal between Kami and his father Xiu Yi.
