readx;? Don't think that zombies are endless, for a few lone rangers who come out alone to wander, it may seem like this at a glance, even if the strength is high, if you don't run fast enough, you have to kill until you are soft. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But for the mercenaries, they have long been accustomed to having fewer enemies and more enemies.

Wolves, goblins, and jackals are all monsters with a lot of numbers...... If you organize a mercenary group of dozens or hundreds of people to fight them on a large scale, it is better to directly dispatch a regular army with a more tacit understanding.

The way to prevent the other party from crushing them with numerical superiority is simply not too much in the eyes of the mercenaries - for example, can zombies climb walls?

Even if it could, it would be the elite of zombies, right? How many of these elites could there be?

What is the difference between a few elites fighting the mercenaries alone and running to send people to their heads?

In other words, as long as there are walls that can be defended, zombies can basically only attack from a few places, such as doorways or windows.

Originally, zombies would still cause some fear, even if it was originally hastily transformed, and its strength was not as good as ordinary people, but the scary appearance and unconscious performance of being cut down can scare ordinary citizens or rookie warriors.

But most of these mercenaries have a lot of combat experience, and there are even some well-informed and experienced elders to stabilize the situation, at this moment, the mercenaries actually have no fear of zombies.

The rest is basically a pure competition for strength. The mercenaries can fight two or three with one hand against ordinary people, and they know how to attack the vital points, let alone deal with sluggish zombies.

If you have a narrow terrain, you can kill as many as you want.

Having said that, there are not such ideal conditions, and no matter how good the quality of the mercenary union hall is, it is not specially built to be used as a defensive stronghold, and so many people are crowded in the hall and cannot fight properly.

Although some temporary defenses were set up outside, it was still much more rudimentary than what the regular army could do when they were prepared, and there were many flaws even for brainless zombies.

These flaws can only be handed over to the mercenaries to forcibly go up.

Originally, there was no problem for a while, but not long after, suddenly there were several times more zombies rushing towards this side.

A rough estimate reveals that it's as if all the zombies in the neighborhood are approaching!

There are occasionally one or two special zombies mixed in it, maybe some strength was unfortunately transformed before death, or some mutation appeared after death, in short, they have both wisdom and strength beyond ordinary zombies.

They will intelligently pretend to be ordinary zombies, and even if there are some flaws, the mercenaries who see the zombies for the first time will not recognize them at a cursory glance.

When some mercenaries slash at ordinary zombies, they will suddenly jump out and launch an attack that threatens the bronze level.

By now, four mercenaries had unfortunately died in this sneak attack, and two others had also been injured and had retreated to rest.

Although Ellie was not injured or anything, everyone was taking care of her intentionally or unintentionally, not only as a girl, but also as the future star of the guild, which she had long understood, and accepted it after resigning.

There are several seniors here, and it is not her turn to do it, which is the practice of immature people.

Even if she doesn't have any accidents, staying on the front line is likely to distract her peers to take care of her, and if something happens, it will be even more troublesome for others.

Therefore, she just stayed silently to recuperate, and at the same time experienced the holy relic she had obtained before.

This kind of thing may represent glory and power, but Ellie has no interest in it, and the trouble it can cause must be ten times more powerful than a simple powerful weapon, so she does not expose the holy object to people.

And the group of refugees she brought back before did not see anything clearly because the light was too strong at the moment when the relics were handed over, and they accepted her statement that "Your Excellency has entrusted me to take you to a safe place to wait for rescue".

Even if she hid in the pockets of the space, the wonderful connection between the holy relics and her was not severed.

In just an instant, she already understood what had happened in Farrell Manor just now, and the perspective of the whole process was grasped by Bishop Auburn......

"Could it be that the holy thing really has a soul and consciousness of its own? No, no, no, isn't it blasphemy to say the words of the soul?"

Although not very devout believers, Ellie is somewhat taboo about this kind of thing.

However, she only thought in her heart, and from the side of the holy relic, there was a strange fluctuation that reflected the voice in her heart.

It may sound like simply taking out some sentences from the sacred scriptures and mixing them together and reciting them carefully, but you can appreciate the true meaning contained in them.

"It's not a soul, it's just a spirit...... Like the legendary sword that screams when it encounters an enemy?"

There was some affirmation, and some resentment about being compared to a sword.

"Hey, isn't it a sword? Obviously Bishop Auburn used it like this, I want to think about it...... Could it be true—"

The feelings of joy were transmitted to Ellie's heart at once.

Gradually, she mastered the art of communicating with the relics.

The fluctuation of the holy relics is full of divine power in itself, and if it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that the soul would not be assimilated by the holy object, or at least it would be brainwashed into a devout fanatic believer.

However, miraculously, Ellie herself was unaware, and although she accepted all the words of the holy object, she remained unusually lucid.

Although it is said in the holy scriptures that mere imitation of a saint, no matter how similar it is, will not reach the realm of a saint, because your righteousness does not arise from the bottom of your heart and is born with the wealth given by God, but imitates the righteousness of others who do not belong to you...... Such a statement.

Even those saints in the past weep bitterly when they come into contact with the sacred relics left by their ancestors.

But Ellie was not affected at all, and she only had the same respect for the saint who left the holy relics as most legendary heroes, but it was a matter that could shake the entire upper echelons of the Holy Sect when she said it......

However, the holy relics also showed a high degree of obedience to her like this.

It itself does not have a real soul and a high level of intelligence to react to such a once-in-a-lifetime event, but it has judged that Ellie is the most suitable master for it today.

And evil is hidden deep beneath the earth, soaring freely in the sky, taking possession of innocent bodies, binding their souls, making the dead walk in droves through the streets, and even ...... Evil is yet at hand!(To be continued.) )
