Sun Fei stood on the bow deck of the Black Warship warship, gazing down at the vast mountains and rivers below, lost in thought.
No one in the empire watching this war could have imagined that the Chambord people, after traveling 500 kilometers a day, would be able to traverse nearly 70,000 kilometers in a single day and advance to the border of the Anzhi Empire.
Moreover, the Gold Saint originally accompanied the expeditionary force have all quietly returned to Chambord City. Anyone who thinks Chambord City is going all out to defend the Void will pay the price. Besides, there is the ever-growing army of King Class Magic Beast Legion, Angela, a Blazing Sun Class Great Perfection expert whose reputation in the Empire is not particularly illustrious, and powerful deacons and elders such as Batistuta in the Dark Temple.
The Black Warship travels at an extremely fast speed, but it is always enveloped by an oval-shaped light silver shield. Therefore, standing on the deck, one cannot feel any wind or feel any turbulence. Even ordinary people would not experience any discomfort. Moreover, after being modified and upgraded by the [ Madman's Laboratory ], the shield also has a certain degree of invisibility and concealment. The Black Warship travels at an altitude of ten thousand meters, and people on the ground below cannot detect anything unusual.
The Chambord around him looked at their King with fervent adoration.
Riding on the Black Warship, they experienced no hardship whatsoever. The march was far easier than they had expected. They had prepared themselves for a long and arduous journey, but they were practically enjoying the march. All of this was thanks to His Majesty the King.
After completing one traversal, Black Warship paused briefly in the void, preparing for the next one.
Just as Sun Fei was about to turn around and return to the command center, his eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, as he sensed something.
"Order to halt shuttle operations and remain stationary."
The order was quickly relayed, and the Black Warship [ One-Eyed Dragon ] at the rear also received the order and stopped. The soldiers stood firm at their posts, operating the ship's weapons, and waited vigilantly for the next order.
Sun Fei stood on the bow of the ship, carefully sensing something, his expression growing increasingly complex.
The only Gold Saint following Sun Fei, Torres, stood straight behind Sun Fei like a javelin.
" Alexander, what happened? Why did we stop?" Uncle Cain and the nun came out of the cabin with strange expressions, followed by a dozen elite students who had qualified for this trip.
"You must have sensed it too? It seems something strange is happening down below." Sun Fei's expression was extremely complicated. As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Cain and Sister Auntie's expressions changed. Sun Fei's words confirmed their guess.
"Let's go down and take a look. Hopefully, it's not what we think." Old Man Cain was unusually serious.
The Dite Empire, Southern Frontier.
This is a hilly area, and in the height of summer, everything is lush and green, with abundant vegetation—the most beautiful season of the year.
This is a small town near the border, a place where the Dite Empire and the Anzhi Empire traded and traded. It should have been very bustling and lively, but today, for some reason, the throngs of mercenaries and adventurers have disappeared, and there are no farmers working in the fields. At the town's entrance in the distance, a breeze blows and stirs up a mess of garbage.
The entire town seemed deserted.
Suddenly, a ray of golden light flashed from the sky and landed on the ground.
As the flames subsided, five or six figures appeared.
The one leading them was Sun Fei.
His King twitched his nose, as if trying to detect some scent.
His expression was very serious. After a long while, he turned back to Uncle Cain and the nun and nodded, saying, "It seems we guessed correctly. However, we still need to observe for a while to get the real answer."
"Let's go check out the town ahead." Old Man Cain strode forward, leaning on his cane, revealing his unusual mood.
The group soon arrived at the entrance to the town.
This was a real gate, the thick wooden city gate bound by black iron was wide open, and the six-meter-high city wall could block attacks from ordinary wild beasts and bandits, providing the residents of the town with a sense of security. However, at this moment, the guards who were guarding the gate were nowhere to be seen, and there was not a single person on the city wall. The banners fluttered in the wind, breaking the unsettling silence.
Grandpa Cain hurried into the town.
Just then, a dark shadow, accompanied by a gust of wind, suddenly darted out from behind the wooden door and pounced on the white-bearded old man.
"Watch out..." Sun Fei shouted a warning, pointed his finger, and the dark shadow exploded with a bang, turning into a wisp of green smoke and disappearing into the air.
The others quickly followed, protecting Uncle Cain and the nun in the very center, who were not combatants.
"It's an undead hound controlled by dark forces!"
"I'm sorry," Uncle Cain said through gritted teeth. In that terrifying glimpse, he had seen the attacker's true face and sensed the thick, dark aura.
Sun Fei and the nun exchanged a knowing glance. In fact, even without Uncle Cain's prompting, their suspicions had been completely confirmed, because the streets beyond the city gates were already teeming with slow-moving 'figures,' wandering aimlessly...
"That's... a zombie?" Oscar screamed first.
This college student, who liked to ponder strange things in his spare time, had read some bizarre books and had a broad knowledge of various types of magic and monsters. He immediately recognized the true nature of these 'figures'.
The other college students immediately tensed up.
In the Azeroth Continent, zombies belong to the Undead Magic class. They are corpses controlled by Undead Magic and are like a plague, possessing a terrible contagiousness. Throughout the continent's history, there have been several large-scale Undead Frenzy. Among them, the most infamous Undead Frenzy almost turned the entire continent into a paradise for the dead, and the Human Clan was nearly destroyed.
Legend has it that similar events occurred in the ancient era of gods and demons, and even the gods and demons were extremely wary of the undead, as this was a forbidden power belonging to Hell and the god of death.
This is precisely why Undead Magic have become universally hated and feared throughout the continent.
Even the most powerful person would tremble with fear at the mere mention of the word "zombie."
It's easy to understand why college students are feeling nervous.
"You stay here and keep watch. Fernando, protect the university students." After giving these instructions, Sun Fei, along with Uncle Cain and the nun, headed towards the roaming horde of zombies.
