Dang Dang Dang! The sound of the alarm rang in the sky above the town. As it wasn't a huge town, the sound quickly spread throughout the entire town. Most of the townspeople had no idea what was going on, but since the alarm rang, it meant that they had to gather at the square. Therefore, everyone put down their work and prepared to head to the square.
Mariana Town wasn't a military frontline, and basically didn't experience any wars. Although there was an alarm bell in the town, it was basically used by the mayor to lecture the townspeople. Therefore, even though the alarm bell rang, the townspeople weren't very anxious. They just slowly gathered there, and some people didn't even go. After all, they were only there to listen to the mayor's words. Basically, there wasn't anything important. The most important thing was that someone's belongings were stolen, and the thief was caught. Then, to show off his achievements, the mayor punished the thief in front of everyone. No one thought that it was an attack by the undead.
Of course, the first to gather were the townspeople who were originally near the square. When they saw the church knight suddenly ringing the alarm and the two guards lying on the ground, they immediately gathered to see what was going on.
"Everyone, calm down and listen to me. The undead army is coming," Lisa immediately said and began to explain what was going on.
"What undead army!?" The surrounding townspeople were shocked to hear this. When they heard that Lisa wanted to cover their retreat, they immediately believed and agreed.
"Alright, Sir Knight, I'll go home and call my wife. She'll be here soon," one of the townspeople said.
"Hurry up, we have to leave …" Before Lisa could finish her sentence, the townspeople suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground.
"Hey … Everyone, hurry up and leave this place. The undead must have cast some kind of magic here." Lisa knew that the townspeople couldn't hold on any longer. "The undead are despicable. They actually used such a despicable method!"
"Ah!" The surrounding townspeople screamed and immediately ran away when they saw that someone had died. In the end, another three or four people fell to the ground before they could leave.
"Everyone, hurry up and leave this place. Everyone, go and inform the people you know. We will gather at the entrance of the town on the west side. Hurry!" Lisa said after some thought. It was impossible to gather at the square now, so they could only gather at the exit of the town.
The surrounding townspeople also felt that something was wrong. Especially when someone died in front of them, they believed Lisa's words even more. Everyone began to spread out to inform the others.
Lisa and Li Huailin continued to move towards the west side of the town. While they walked, Lisa continued to shout. Soon, the townspeople who heard the alarm and wanted to gather at the square began to shout as well. Everyone began to follow Lisa to the west.
"Evil …" As they ran, a few townsfolk suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground. Because of Lisa, everyone thought it was some kind of undead spell. They didn't understand it anyway. Seeing that the undead hadn't rushed in yet, the people next to them immediately helped the few people who fell to the ground and continued to follow Lisa to the west.
By the time they reached the west side of the town, many townspeople had already received the notification. More and more people began to gather there. When the people who ran over saw a few townspeople vomiting blood on the ground, they thought that since they were all from the same town, they should help them if they could. Many of the townspeople who were still groaning on the ground hurried to the west side.
Because Lisa was shouting as she ran, their speed was slightly slower. By the time they reached the west side of the town, there were already many people waiting there. The person who ran the fastest was the mayor of Mariana Town, Vitoya. When he found out what was going on, he immediately ran here. He was so scared that he didn't even have time to bring his wife and children. The undead's attack was too terrifying. Moreover, he saw many townspeople lying on the ground along the way, which frightened him even more.
"Knight Lisa." When Vitoya saw Lisa running over, he immediately said, "I didn't expect our town to encounter such a disaster. I will have the townspeople cooperate with you. Please help us retreat."
"Don't worry, Mayor Vitoya," Lisa immediately said. Lisa immediately said. With the mayor's command, her task was much easier.
"Sir Knight, I'm counting on you." The townspeople immediately surrounded Lisa. The current situation was too terrifying. They could only trust the church's knight.
"Everyone, don't worry. I will definitely bring everyone safely to …"
Before Lisa could finish her words, Vitoya suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, spraying it all over Lisa.
"Mayor!" Before Lisa could react, the hundreds of townspeople around her suddenly spat out blood at the same time. Because there were so many of them, the blood they spat out was like a fountain.
"F * ck … Hundreds of people spitting out blood at the same time. How spectacular," Li Huailin couldn't help but say.
"Everyone, you guys …" Lisa was stunned. She didn't know what was going on.
System Notification: You killed Mayor Syndil Vitoya. You lost 1940 EXP. Because of you …
System Notification: You killed Guemat. You lost …
System Notification: You killed …
Just as Li Huailin finished speaking, death notifications flooded the screen. One by one, the surrounding townspeople fell to the ground, bleeding from their orifices. They didn't even have time to react.
After a few seconds, only Li Huailin and Lisa were left standing at the western entrance of the town. Around them were the corpses of hundreds of townspeople. Blood flowed everywhere. It was like hell on earth.
"How could this be …" Lisa was stunned and said blankly. She clearly wanted to save the townspeople, but she didn't do anything.
"Wait …" At this time, Li Huailin finally felt that something was amiss. Previously, he had thought that the Undead had released some kind of skill. However, it was impossible for them to track him. Wherever he and Lisa went, people would die. This was too strange.
"Hateful Undead Race! I … I will avenge the townspeople! "Lisa roared.
"Lisa, wait, I have a question. If this was a spell used by the Undead, why are you and I fine?" Li Huailin suddenly asked.
"They must have used Death Water," Lisa said with hatred. Lisa said with hatred, "I still have the Church's Shield of Light on me, and you took Master Ed's potion, so the two of us are fine, but the townsfolk …"
"Death Water?" Li Huailin looked around. There was no black mist around them.
"The other party must have used some sort of method to use the Water of Death in the town …" Lisa said firmly.
"Strange …" Li Huailin didn't believe it. He hadn't eaten Ed's Potion, and he had relied on his Reverse Debuff ability to survive in Death Valley. But now, Li Huailin looked at his Buffs, and there didn't seem to be any poison effects from the Death Water.
Just as Li Huailin was figuring out what was going on, a large group of townspeople suddenly ran in their direction. As they ran, they heard someone shouting, "Run, the Undead army is charging in!"
"What? They're here?" Lisa gritted her teeth as she looked into the distance. She really wanted to kill these Undead, but she was alone and wasn't a match for them. Moreover, the most important thing now was to send these townspeople to a safe place.
"Everyone, follow me!" Seeing that most of the townspeople had arrived, Lisa waved her hand and said. She didn't know how much Death Water the Undead had put in the town, but the town wasn't safe anymore. They had to run out first.
The townspeople didn't know what to do anymore. They could only trust Lisa. Everyone rushed out of the town. At this time, Li Huailin was still at the same place because he was figuring out what was going on. The surrounding townspeople didn't care whether Li Huailin left or not. They directly passed by Li Huailin and walked out of the town.
"Ah …" Halfway through, one of the townspeople suddenly held his chest and screamed.
"What's wrong with you … Ugh …" Another townspeople started to vomit blood.
At this time, most of the townspeople were still waiting at the exit. When they saw a few people vomiting blood, they immediately stopped and turned to look.
"Pfft …" They didn't know what was going on, but the surrounding townspeople started vomiting blood again. This time, it was on a large scale. Hundreds of people started vomiting blood all over their bodies. There was no warning at all, and they didn't even have time to scream.
System Notice: You have killed Mera. You have lost 35 EXP. As you have killed an allied civilian, you have obtained 3 Honor Points.
System Notice: You have killed …
Another wave of death notifications appeared on the screen, mixed with a quest notification.
System Notice: Rank A Hidden Quest, Retreat, failed. You have obtained 400,000, 1,000 gold, and 4,800 Reputation Points.
System Notice: You have reached Level 54.
System Notice: You have killed …
…
This wave of blood vomiting killed most of the townspeople. Only a dozen or so people at the front were left. The others were all dead on the ground.
Lisa, who was running at the front, turned her head. The scene she saw was very exaggerated. There were hundreds of corpses of townspeople on the ground, and only one person was still standing in the middle. That person was Li Huailin. For some reason, Lisa suddenly felt uneasy. Looking at Li Huailin like this, Lisa kept feeling as if she had done something wrong.
"I understand now. So that's what happened," Li Huailin, who stood among the corpses, suddenly said.
