"What's going on?" Li Huailin also wanted to figure out what was going on. Why did this group of people suddenly die? Most importantly, the staff of the Teleportation Array were all dead. How was he supposed to go back? Li Huailin wanted to know what was going on.
"When I was waiting for you in Death Valley, I suddenly heard some noise. I went over to take a look and didn't expect to find an Undead Lord. He seemed to be using the Water of Death in Death Valley to create a new type of zombie. However, because there weren't enough corpses, they were preparing to attack the nearby towns in search of fresh corpses. When I heard this news, I immediately came back to report." Lisa said, "That's why I went with Captain Kayla and the others. However, when I walked to the entrance, I suddenly saw a few people lying on the ground. When I went forward to take a look, I found that they were already dead. So we came in to take a look. I didn't expect to encounter such a situation."
"Undead Lord?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. This was the southern part of the Empire, which was indeed very close to the Undead's territory. However, the Empire didn't have any troops stationed here. It wasn't because the Undead had a good relationship with humans. In fact, this situation wouldn't have happened a few years ago. Li Huailin had also heard about it. It was said that after the Great Undead Lord passed away four years ago, his five generals felt that they could inherit the will of the original Great Lord. After arguing for a period of time, no one was willing to accept each other. Then, a civil war broke out. After a year of civil war, no one won. The Undead Empire was directly divided into five parts. Although all the Lords didn't leave the Empire, in reality, it was a situation of separation. They didn't have time to deal with each other, let alone provoke the Human Empire. Therefore, regardless of the previous war, Li Huailin didn't include the Undead army because it was impossible for them to participate.
But now, a Lord suddenly said that he was in the Human Empire's territory, and he actually wanted to cause trouble for a human town. This was a little strange. Wasn't he afraid of incurring the wrath of the Human Empire?
"That's right. This is definitely the doing of the Undead Lord. The way they died is a bit similar to the way they encountered the Water of Death. It's definitely their doing," Lisa said. "Could it be that they're already here? Damn, they actually killed Captain Kayla. Now … we can't stop the attack of the Undead army at all. We must first cover the civilians' retreat … The Teleportation Portal can't be used. We must run with the civilians to Degara City in the west. "
"F * ck! In other words, in order to prevent us from using the teleportation matrix to retreat, the other party first used some kind of skill to kill the staff of the teleportation matrix, preventing us from using the teleportation matrix to escape?" Li Huailin said. He immediately bore a grudge against the Lord of the Undead Race. You could have done it at any time, but why did you have to wait until I needed it? Aren't you looking for trouble?
Huailin on on on. Lisa said, "We didn't notice the enemy's trick. That's why Captain Kayla and the others fell for it. Brave warrior, I need your help to cover the retreat of the civilians in this town."
System Notice: Lisa Seville has issued an A-rank Hidden Quest, Retreat. Accept?
"Eh?" Hearing that it was an A-level hidden quest, Li Huailin hesitated a little, because A-level hidden quests generally had good rewards. Of course, the main reason was that he could not use the Transmission Array now, and Lisa said that they should cover their retreat to the nearby Degara City. That city should be the nearest city from here. Li Huailin was supposed to go to the nearest city to take the Transmission Array, so it was on the way. If he could do an A-level hidden quest on the way, after thinking about it, Li Huailin felt that it was better to accept it.
System Notification: [A-rank Hidden Quest accepted. Retreat.]
Quest Tip: Protect the civilians in the town and retreat to the nearby Degara City. Note that there are a total of 540 residents in this town. Once the number of casualties exceeds 50%, the quest will automatically fail.
Quest Reward: 200,000 experience, 500 gold coins, 2,400 reputation points, and a special reward.
Quest Progress: The current death toll of the residents, 29/540.
Li Huailin quickly looked at the quest. The quest was to protect the civilians and retreat, and the loss could not exceed 50%. In this way, the death toll should be controlled within 270 people, but now 29 people had died. This was a bit difficult. It was worthy of being an A-level quest.
"Well, let me help you." Li Huailin said.
"Great, warrior." Lisa immediately said, "Let's hurry up and inform everyone to gather, and then lead them to evacuate. When we reach Degara City, I will immediately use the Transmission Array to return to the church and ask for help."
"How do we gather the civilians?" Li Huailin asked.
"There is an alarm bell in the town square. Let's go and ring the alarm bell. The people in the town will notice," Lisa said. "There is no time now. We need to hurry."
"Then let's go." Li Huailin also began to follow Lisa and began to move.
The two immediately went out, and as soon as they went out, they saw a hellish scene. The door of the Transmission Array building was now full of dead people, and all of them died miserably, bleeding from all seven orifices. It was simply horrible. The ordinary civilians around the NPC did not dare to approach at all, because a few people had just gone to check and fell there, never to get up again. They were not idiots, so naturally, they would not go and die.
"The Church Knights have come out!" Seeing Lisa, the civilians here hurriedly asked.
"Sir Knight, what the hell is going on??"
"Sir Knight, what happened to them?"
"Everyone, listen to me quietly." Lisa immediately said, "This is an Undead Lord attacking our town. We fell into the enemy's track, and now my companions have been sacrificed. Now we can't stop their attack at all, so we must retreat to Degara City. I will contact the people of the church to come and help immediately. Please retreat with me immediately."
"What? Undead? " The group of civilians immediately panicked. The Undead were evil creatures. Not only could they kill you, they could also turn you into those horrible creatures. Naturally, they were afraid of this. Hearing Lisa's words, they immediately decided to retreat. After all, she was a Church Knight, so her words were still very useful.
"Everyone, don't panic. Now hurry up and inform the people you can. We will gather in the square and then retreat together. Everyone, hurry up," Lisa immediately commanded.
"Okay, we will listen to you, Sir Knight." The civilians here nodded and then began to go home to inform their families or neighbors.
"Ah …" Suddenly, a scream was heard. A person who was listening to Lisa suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground. The situation was exactly the same as the people who had just died at the door. The surrounding civilians were in a commotion.
"Everyone, hurry up. The Undead have already made their move. If we don't leave now, it will be too late," Lisa immediately said.
"Everyone, hurry up!" The civilians here were also frightened, and immediately began to speed up their movement.
"Let's also move quickly." Lisa said to Li Huailin. After saying that, she began to run towards the square in the middle of the town. As she ran, she began to call out to the nearby civilians, telling them to follow her. Naturally, Li Huailin also immediately followed.
The town itself wasn't very big. In just two steps, they had already reached the square in the middle of the town. At this time, the news of the Undead's attack hadn't reached here yet, so the civilians in the square basically didn't know what was going on.
In the middle of the square was a large bell. This bell was usually used by the Mayor to summon the civilians during meetings. There were also two guards standing by the side to prevent anyone from ringing it. By the way, there were a total of ten guards in this town, but they basically didn't have any fighting strength.
"Sir Knight." When the two guards saw Lisa and Li Huailin running over, they naturally immediately greeted Lisa. Because she was a Knight of the Church of Light stationed here, everyone in the town basically knew who Lisa was.
"Hurry up and sound the alarm," Lisa said hurriedly.
"Eh? What? " The two guards stared blankly. Ringing the bell was a big matter. Without the Mayor's order, they wouldn't dare to casually ring it.
"There's no time to explain, quickly ring it." Lisa immediately said. There was no time to explain anything right now.
"This …" The two guards looked at each other, but in the end, they still nodded. Although it wasn't the Mayor's order, the Knights of the Radiant Church could still be trusted. If there was nothing to do, then they wouldn't ring the bell for fun.
The guard on the left immediately took the hammer on the side, preparing to ring the bell. But just as he lifted his hand, the guard suddenly felt a pain in his chest.
"Ugh …" Suddenly, the guard clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. The hammer in his hand also fell to the ground.
"Why are you … evil …" The guard on the side saw that the situation wasn't right. Just as he was about to go up and see what was going on, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn, could it be here as well?" Lisa immediately realized that the situation wasn't good. Could it be that the Undead already knew that they would use the bell to summon the townspeople, so they also released a mysterious spell here?
"Ugh … evil …" The speed was too fast. The two guards instantly fell to the ground, bleeding from their seven orifices. Similarly, Li Huailin, who was standing behind them, also received the notification of the two guards' deaths. Unsurprisingly, they were killed by him.
"This …" Li Huailin held his forehead, he didn't know what to say.
"Damn!" Lisa thought for a moment and immediately picked up the hammer on the ground. Then, she directly started ringing the bell. Although the Undead might have already thought of this, there was no other way. If they didn't ring the bell, they wouldn't be able to notify all the townspeople.
