After more than two hours, all the zombies were finally cleaned up.

Although this battle was not dangerous, it also exhausted Lance and his party enough.

"Grass...... It's really troublesome to deal with these zombies, you can't be surrounded or injured. ”

Lance sat in front of a house, on top of a stake used to chop wood, gasping for air.

There was already a lot of foul-smelling blood on his body, but Lance was used to the smell, so he didn't feel disgusting.

Even the rotting smell of the zombie corpses around me felt acceptable.

After the battle, Lilith also rushed over from the perimeter.

After Lilith released her psychic perception and made sure that there were no more living zombies or other undead creatures around, Lilith came to Lance's side and sat on another piece of wood.

"Your friend Gad said that the number of zombies on the battlefield on the Western Front can be described as tens of thousands, if we meet them all and kill them, then I'm afraid the war will end, and we won't be able to reach the battlefield on the Western Front, and we won't be able to see your friend Ike. ”

Lilith said with some complaint.

Obviously, she was a little dissatisfied with the actions of Lance and the others in exterminating this group of zombies.

But she was sensible, and only whispered in Lance's ear.

Lance listened to Lilith's words, pulled her over with a wicked smile, sat on his lap, and whispered close to his ear: "This is the first wave of zombies we have encountered since we came out of the mercenary fortress, this can be regarded as understanding their habits in advance, and in the future battles, we will try to pick some bosses or some necromancers." ”

"Hmph...... I don't understand, wouldn't it be better if we followed the other teams and went to the big battalion on the Western Front to join the big army and fight together?"

Lilith looked at Lance with some confusion.

She had asked Lance this question before, but Lance was reluctant to answer it directly every time, so she didn't ask too much.

But now that a skirmish had just ended, Lilith couldn't help but ask again.

Although Lilith didn't expect Lance to answer.

Hearing Lilith ask the question again, Lance hesitated for a moment, and finally replied quietly, "Hey...... Lilith, I haven't told you before, my dad won't let me join any of the military systems or get involved in some political disputes. ”

After a pause in Lance's tone, after looking at a few people who were resting not far away, he leaned into Lilith's ear and whispered: "We went to the battlefield on the Western Front this time as mercenaries to join, so all our actions will inevitably be under their command, which will cause inconvenience to some of the actions of our mercenary team, and as far as a few of us are involved, it is just a few martial arts monks with good strength, and it will not have any impact on the overall situation." ”

Lance's words made Lilith a little puzzled, she frowned and looked back at Lance with some confusion and asked, "But now the commander on the battlefield on the Western Front is your good brother Ike, do you think he will restrict your movements?"

"Hey...... You're getting smarter and smarter now, but you don't know Ike, the information we got from the mercenary fortress, it's been two years, and Ike hasn't entered the Western Tribal Forces to avenge me, so it means that he must have been delayed by something, if I let him know that I'm still alive now, then it will inevitably affect some of his judgments, in that case, it is very likely that it will be unfavorable to the war on the Western Front, which is why I ask Gard and Blake not to tell Ike the news that I'm still alive. ”

As Lance spoke, he looked meaningfully into the distance.

After being silent for a long time, Lance continued: "I know Ike too well, in the past two years, his heart must have suffered countless torments, but he is now in that position, guarding the battlefield on the Western Front, there must be a reason for him to stick to it, Ike is a stubborn person, but he is also a person who takes care of the overall situation, and as his brother, all I can do is to come to the battlefield on the Western Front and solve some troubles that we can do for him, such as necromancers or the leaders of some undead creatures." ”

While Lance was talking, Dilanthel looked at Lance and Lilith, who were biting their ears, and said loudly, "Have you two finished talking about love? Haha......"

Dilanthel's words immediately caused the rest of the group to laugh.

Lance ignored them and continued to whisper to Lilith, "Trust me, I'm doing what I think is right. ”

After Lance finished speaking, he smiled and said loudly to everyone: "It's not early now, let's just find a room in this village and rest for the night, I don't want to sleep in the wilderness." ”

After that, the people, who had rested enough, began to search for houses that could be inhabited.

It didn't take long for everyone to find a decent house, although it was very dilapidated, and there was a strong smell of dampness and decay in the room, but it was also much better than the rancid smell of the zombies outside.

After closing the doors and windows, Luca fetched some firewood, lit a bonfire in the place where the family had used to make a fire, took food out of his bag, and prepared something to eat with Dilancer.

The rest of the people were sitting by the fire, either in a daze, or sharpening their weapons, each doing their own thing.

Lance took out a topographical map of the Western Front battlefield that Gad had given him from his bag and looked at it by the light of the fire.

"This is still on the periphery of the battlefield on the Western Front, and we have only encountered a few zombies along the way, and presumably the undead don't care too much about these places. ”

Lance said casually, looking at the map.

Luca, who was cooking, had just poured some dried beans into a pot of boiling water, and said while stirring the beans with a spoon: "Now most of the undead on the Western Front have gathered near several important fortresses on the Western Front, and it is not very likely that we will encounter large-scale undead in the places we pass through. ”

"Yes, but even so, there will be many powerful undead creatures or necromancers, distributed in many places, and they need to transform more humans or creatures to become a new force on the battlefield, and I think our goal should be more on them. ”

It was Dilansel who spoke.

He crushed a large piece of dry bread and threw it into the pot where the dried beans had been boiled, and continued: "The most terrifying thing about the undead is their terrifying ability to contagious, if we can effectively kill more necromancers, or virus-spreading undead creatures, then we can play our role better." ”

At this moment, Quiles said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if he is a necromancer or an undead creature, what he encounters is one word - dry, if we kill one more undead creature, even if it is a zombie, the soldiers on the battlefield on the Western Front will face one less undead creature." ”

Listening to Quells's words, Lance smiled and said jokingly: "Brother Quells, who killed more than 100 zombies today, who shouted that his arms are a little sore?"

"Wow...... You are embarrassed to say this, if it weren't for me, just a few of you, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to clean it up in a few hours. ”

"That's not necessarily, but then again, if we all spend our time on this kind of battle, it will not do us any good to improve our own strength, I hope that we can not only contribute more to the war, but also hope that our strength can improve faster, and today Luka's shortcomings in the battle are revealed. ”

While Lance and Quiles were talking, a hot pot of bean sauce soup was ready.

After each person was given a bowl, Lance continued with the bowl: "If we can break through to the strength of the high-level realm in a short period of time, then we will be a sharp knife inserted into the army of undead, and every time we kill a necromancer, it is equivalent to destroying hundreds or thousands of zombies or low-level ghouls. ”

"I'm in favor, killing zombies, it's enough to have those ordinary soldiers, we have to concentrate our forces in more effective places. ”

Lukka took a sip of the bean sauce soup and complied.

In today's fight, Lukka is well aware of his lack of strength, but he can easily understand Lance's intentions.

Strengthen your team through high-intensity and challenging battles.

After a brief meal, the sky outside had completely darkened.

Lance put his arms around Lilith, who was already asleep, and looked at the ceiling with mixed emotions.

Before leaving the Mercenary Fortress, Lance and Gad spent a night alone, and there were many questions he didn't figure out.

Since dealing with the undead is a major matter for the survival of the entire human race, but the Northern and Southern Kingdoms, the two most powerful countries on the continent, why don't they use the power of the whole country to directly strangle the undead who have not yet fully risen on the Western Front?

Although he knew that the power struggle within the church was very strong, it was not difficult to unite the northern and southern kingdoms to exterminate the undead race.

And so far, after the former Necromancer - Idar Adonis was reborn and resurrected in the Forest of Irene, there has been no news, which can't help but make Lance feel even more puzzled.

If the Necromancer, Idar Adonis, reappears on the continent of Kostana, wouldn't it be more appropriate for him to lead the rise of the undead?

Lance still hasn't figured out what is going on, but since he has come to the battlefield on the Western Front, let's do my best to protect the continent and do what I think is right.
