Two days later, on the other side of the world, in Italy, near Rome.

Fifty kilometres west of Rome, this is a country village with 18th-century architecture still in the dark of the night.

The village is very quiet, everyone has turned off the lights and gone to sleep, the winding narrow gravel road is sprinkled with dew, and the full moon is high in the sky, casting a white soft light on the beautiful village.

Suddenly, there was a hurried barking of dogs in the village, and the barking was terrible and terrifying, as if the dog had sensed something terrible. In a moment, all the dogs in the village barked, and the silence of the night was ruthlessly broken.

After a while, the lights of the woke people came on one after another, and Daddy Albert, a bachelor who lived at the head of the village, was the first to open the door and walk out, and it was his dog who was the first to bark.

"Pluto, what's going on?" Albert walked into the courtyard with a shotgun in hand.

The purebred Sicilian retriever Pluto he had kept had changed his usual calmness, and now he was jumping up and down the yard like crazy, screaming hoarsely, and the chain around his neck was dragged to the ground.

Knowing that something must have happened, Albert cautiously walked to the fence of the courtyard with his shotgun in hand and looked out, but nothing suspicious could be seen in the hazy moonlit night.

"What is it? What do you see, Pluto? Albert untied Pluto's chains.

At that moment, Pluto suddenly turned around and let out a series of whines from behind him. It was not a bark anymore, but the howl of a dog in its throat in extreme terror, which sounded very pervasive at night.

Albert felt his scalp tingle, almost instinctively, and he knew that something terrible must have appeared behind him. By this time, Pluto was completely paralyzed on the ground, unable to even hum.

Taking a deep breath, Albert slowly loaded the shotgun, and at the same time the man quickly turned around: "What are you...", but before he could finish speaking, he stopped halfway, and at the same time his face showed an extremely frightened expression.

At some point, in front of the door of his house, on the roof, more than a dozen humanoid objects with terrible faces and extremely strange postures were looking at him with burning eyes. They were naked, their bodies withered and shrunken like zombies, and a strong smell of corpses filled the air.

Albert was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground, but before he could get a closer look at what was in front of him, he felt a cool breeze blow past him.

Turning his head stiffly, Albert saw countless of these humanoid monsters crawling through his yard towards the village. At the same time, in the yard of the neighbor's house on the left, the roof is also crawling with these monsters.

"My God, are the gates of hell opened?" Albert muttered in horror.

"Shhh

The instinct to survive finally overcame the fear, and Albert screamed, raised his gun and pulled the trigger on the monster at the front. With a loud bang, the huge bullet of the double-barreled shotgun hit a monster accurately, but the shotgun that even a bull could kill only made it stumble slightly.

After another shot, Albert hurriedly reloaded the bullet, and just then the monster pounced like lightning, opened its mouth to bite Albert's neck, and began to greedily suck blood.

The rest of the monsters gathered around, stimulated by the blood, and they approached to get a piece of the pie, and the monster that had bitten Albert's corpse also screamed threateningly, as if to warn their companions against the idea of beating their own food.

Seeing that they were about to fight, suddenly all the monsters showed a look of fear at the same time, and they were unwilling to throw down the dead corpses on the ground, join the rolling army in the rear, and disappear into the night in a short time.

In a moment, several mysterious people wrapped in robes and hunched over walked into the courtyard. Their whole bodies were covered by cloth robes, and the mouth of their heads and necks was empty, and two gray-white fires shone inside.

These are the last of the Inhuman Alliance, the corpse battle troops.

After learning of Konstantin's release, the anxious elders no longer bothered to carefully study the truth and falsehood, and at this time they urgently needed to do something to maintain the majesty of the elder group and let the tribes regain their confidence in them. The best way to do this is to conquer the Vatican once again and capture the parts of Pandora's Box.

Coupled with great confidence in the corpse warfare troops, the Elder Group finally did their best to launch a night attack on the Vatican. Unfortunately, this small and tranquil village is right on the way of the corpse warfare troops.

"What just happened?" While several necromancers watched the marching zombie army, a man walked up from behind.

A necromancer immediately turned around respectfully: "Mr. Shawconi, there are too many people in this village, and many zombies are tempted to attack them, so there is some delay. ”

It was none other than Shawconi, the "Machine Spirit" who had been badly injured on Harpy Island, whose body had fully recovered, and this time as one of the commanders of the corpse battle force, he attacked the Vatican with the army.

Hearing the necromancer's words, Shaw Conny couldn't help frowning, "Can you pass it quickly?" ”

The necromancer was puzzled: "We can force the zombies to leave these people alone, but the inhabitants are already disturbed, and they will attack us in fear, although they can't do any harm, but..."

"Do you want to order everyone in the village to be killed?" Another necromancer suggested.

Shawcony shook his head: "There is no time, such a large-scale operation cannot be concealed from the Holy See for a long time, we must rush to the Vatican as soon as possible, there is no extra time to spend here." ”

At this point, he suddenly turned around and shouted, "Sida! ”

"Hee-hee, are you calling me, Shawconny?" With a coquettish laugh, the elf Sida walked over.

She was still so bright and boundless, calmly walking among the corpses, and the night wind blew her tulle dress fluttering, like a delicate flower blooming in the night, and it seemed that even the air was filled with her faint body fragrance.

"Do you have a way to make the people in the village faint?" Shawcony said to her.

"Oh, let me think—" Hida propped up her chin like a little girl. Her charm lies in her unpretentious innocence and her flaming appearance, two extremely different qualities that can be perfectly embodied in this Arab girl, which will be unforgettable for anyone at first sight.

As a machine spirit, Xiao Conny no longer has a trace of this kind of "living thing" emotion, seeing that Xida was silent for a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Please hurry up, we don't have much time." ”

"Alright, Hilda has figured out a way." Sida pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

As she spoke, she had taken out a handful of colorful spice powder from her waist and spread it out in her palm and blew it gently. The incense powder drifted away in the wind like a misty mist, and at the same time, a strong foreign fragrance filled the nose.

"O bird of paradise of bliss, please accept the sincere call of the elves, and let everyone in this village enter the deepest dreams...", Sida recited a series of incantations in a pleasant elven language.

In an instant, in a crisp chirp, a green head with feathers sprinkled with a layer of crystal phosphor powder, and dozens of colorful and beautiful long feathers flew out of the mist of fragrant powder, and flew up to the sky lightly, hovering over the village.

With the flick of its wings, countless crystalline glow powders fell like snowflakes and fell to the entire village. Under the influence of the fans, the frightened people no longer trembled, the children stopped crying, the manic dogs quieted down, and in the blink of an eye, the whole village had fallen into the deepest sleep.

Without the disturbance of the villagers, under the forcible control of the necromancer, the corpse battle troops quickly passed through the village like a black tide and continued to advance towards the city of Rome in the distance.

When all the zombies were gone, Sida beckoned, and the bird of paradise fluttered its wings and swooped down on her. Smaller and smaller, it flew above Sida's head like a colorful butterfly. Sida stretched out her hand, and the bird of paradise chirped crisply, and then it dispersed again into a ball of incense powder and fell into her palm.

Putting the incense powder into her waist, Sida said to Xiao Conny, "Okay, let's go too." ”

Nodding silently, Xiao Conny looked around vigilantly, and the two of them immediately walked into the dark night.
