Late at night, Hexas City was attacked.
The attack came from outside the city.
Hundreds and thousands of infected people who had been transformed into poison corpses swarmed in from all directions, charging at the city gates in a frenzy.
For this moment, the Plague Spirit, Remy, had scattered the plague seeds all over the surrounding human villages. Thousands of people had been infected with the hidden plague. In order not to alert the enemy, he had planted these seeds in the bodies of the villagers and merchants, weakening their lethality.
When Grimm gave the order, Remy immediately activated all the Plague Seeds.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of people in a dozen villages fell to the ground, howling in pain as they began the terrifying transformation into poison corpses. Those with weaker physiques or who did not meet the basic requirements died miserably during the transformation.
Only seven to eight hundred people managed to endure the poison corpses' transformation.
But that was enough!
Under Remy's command, all the people who had lost their minds and turned into poison corpses rushed into Hexas City, scaling the city walls with inhuman speed and agility, engaging the city guards who were rushing over in a melee.
Rather than a melee, it was more like a massacre!
These modified poison corpses did not know what death was, and had lost all senses. They crawled on the ground, leaping as if they were flying, howling as they pounced at the heavily armed city guards.
The city guards slashed at them with their swords, but it was as if they were slashing at a rhinoceros' hide. Their wrists were numb from the impact, but they could not inflict enough damage.
These poisonous corpses, which had no senses, were not afraid of sharp weapons, and possessed immense strength, leaped into the air one after another, pouncing on the warriors and pushing them to the ground. They lay on the bodies of the warriors and started to chew and tear at them crazily. Their claws and fangs were now as sharp as wild beasts, and they were now coated with terrifying poison. The moment they scratched a human warrior's skin, the poison would take effect within a dozen fingers and they would die.
As for these recently deceased warriors, when Remy floated over them, they began to twitch violently and howl again. Those who could become imperial warriors were obviously physically strong. Thus, most of them managed to survive the poison corpses' transformation and crawled up from the ground in a crooked manner.
They had thrown away the swords in their hands and were still wearing the clothes they wore when they were alive. Their skin had turned a terrifying dark green color and was covered with dark purple spots. They let out strange cries and crawled on the ground like wild beasts. Soon, they merged with the previous poison corpses, jumped off the city wall, and pounced on the nearby residences.
Although sporadic battles were still going on on the city wall, they were just some black iron knights on duty who occupied a tower and were resisting stubbornly. When the impatient Remy personally stepped onto the battlefield, this tiny resistance immediately disappeared.
Behind Remy were three servant corpses in standard Paladin armor, howling like wild beasts.
Although these poison corpses were easy to modify, they were still very useful against ordinary people. However, their individual strength was only comparable to a Junior Apprentice Knight, and even Apprentice Knights could easily deal with a few of them.
Therefore, Remy did not regard them as the main force of the battle. Instead, he ordered them to disperse and rush into the houses to infect as many humans as possible.
Hundreds of poison corpses broke into Hasthis City, turning it into a living hell in an instant.
The helpless humans fled in all directions in a flurry. Screams, shouts, cries, and begging for mercy filled the air, waking up the city which had just quietened down from its dreams once again.
When ordinary humans encountered poison corpses, they could only close their eyes and wait for their deaths.
These poison corpses had no sense of pain, were fearless of death, and were covered in highly toxic toxins. They were also as agile as cheetahs. They could climb over walls as if they were walking on flat ground, and they could pass through houses and houses as if they were flying.
The people were running helplessly, crying and screaming. Everywhere they looked, there were figures leaping from roof to roof and walls as if they were flying.
From time to time, they would pounce out of the darkness and push humans to the ground. Then, they would gather in groups and fight with each other to enjoy the feast of flesh and blood.
Some brave powerhouses stood out and chopped down the poison corpses one after another. However, these poison corpses did not seem to care about the huge wounds and bloody holes on their bodies. Even if their claws and heads were chopped off, they would still bite and claw at their opponents' bodies.
Only when they were completely devoured would they die!
Once they died, their entire bodies would emit a terrifying yellowish-green smoke. Any living thing that came into contact with the smoke would be infected by the terrifying plague seeds in the shortest time possible.
Faced with these monsters that were so hard to kill, the people who had just mustered up some courage quickly collapsed.
They threw away the wooden sticks and swords in their hands and hid, no longer willing to continue fighting these unkillable monsters.
Just as the poison corpses were wreaking havoc in Hasthis City, well-trained city guards in bright armor stepped out and formed a shield wall and spear formation at the intersection of the streets. Then, under the command of the holy knights, they marched forward step by step in unison while shouting their slogans.
A few poison corpses jumped down from the houses around them and pounced on the spear formation with their hands and feet.
They leaped into the air and successfully pierced themselves on the five-meter-long metal spears. Despite the terrifying penetrative damage, they did not seem to mind at all. Instead, they wriggled madly to let the spears pass through their bodies and slowly approached the shield wall.
Their jet-black claws scratched against the metal shields, leaving horrifying scratches on them. A thick stench of poisonous smoke wafted out of their wounds and quickly wrapped around the front of the shield wall.
The three shield bearers who were caught in the smoke coughed violently, and the entire shield wall immediately became distorted.
"Don't panic, maintain the formation and continue to push forward …" The holy knights who were acting as supervising officers with their longswords shouted loudly.
As rays of milky white holy light shone on top of the warriors' heads, the plague virus that had just been infected on their bodies was instantly dispelled, and they quickly recovered to their normal state. As for the poison corpses hanging on the spears, the holy knights raised their swords and chopped them into a pile of scattered body parts. Then, they used torches to ignite the poisonous smoke.
Ordinary poison corpses were obviously ineffective against the holy knights.
Be it the poison in their bodies or their sharp claws and teeth, they were all restrained by the holy knights.
From a certain point of view, the holy knights were the bane of all evil creatures!
Many experts had gathered in Hesath City, so Remy the Plague Spirit chose to remain hidden behind the scenes and focus on modifying his poison corpses to attack the holy knights. Although the poison corpses would suffer great losses, it would still be able to firmly restrain the holy knights in the city.
When the plague poisonous corpses and the paladins were fighting each other on the streets, Grim had already put on his clothes and strode towards the Sacred Light Chapel in the uniform of a black iron knight.
Along the way, he could see holy knights and large groups of city guards hurriedly rushing over. The streets around the Holy Light Chapel had been cordoned off, and nobody was allowed to approach it. Only a few of the upper echelons of Hesath City could temporarily seek refuge in the Holy Light Chapel under the protection of the holy knights.
As for the rest of the nobles, no matter how much they cried or cursed, they could not step into the Holy Light Chapel. However, they were still much stronger than ordinary people. After all, they were surrounded by a large group of city guards and holy knights who could provide them with some protection.
At such a critical moment, the city was in a mess, and the command system of the holy knights and the city guards was in chaos.
With the outfit of a black iron knight, Grim almost arrived at the gate of the Sacred Light Chapel without any obstacle.
A tall fortress had been built here, and a large group of holy knights were personally stationed there.
Seeing someone striding towards them, they could not help but hold their swords as their spirits rose. However, when they saw Grim's equipment, they let out a silent sigh of relief.
A Grade 2 Silver-tier knight came up to him and asked loudly, "What's your name? Why aren't you at your post? What are you doing here? "
Grim's expression turned solemn. "Take me to the commander. I've found traces of a wizard in the city!"
"What? A wizard? Where? "The Silver-tier knight was startled and asked nervously.
"This is urgent. Take me to the commander. A few days ago, I was sent to the noble district, and I accidentally found that there were people who had secretly colluded with wizards. They lured them into the city and secretly conducted some evil rituals … "
"What? These damned nobles … "The Silver-tier knight immediately clenched his teeth." Good. This information is very good. I'll take you to the commander now. He was the only one who could give the order for something like this. Come with me! "
Having said that, the Silver-tier knight turned around and gave some instructions to his subordinates. After that, he led Grim into the inner part of the chapel.
As the two of them strode inside, Grim glanced at all the buildings in the building.
"My lord, I've secretly observed. The evil ritual is most likely used to attack our holy circle. Is the security there safe enough? "
"Don't worry!" The Silver-tier knight pointed at a brightly lit hall on the right side of the chapel and comforted him. "There are three Silver-tier knights guarding there. If the enemy wants to destroy it …"
Before he could finish, he suddenly felt a violent elemental fluctuation coming from behind him.
