They found a hotel to stay in. The tourism in the Ancient Capital had dropped significantly due to the chaos caused by the undead, thus hotels were extremely cheap.
They set off the next day. Mofan was not in a rush to sleep when night fell. He called Liu Ru and headed toward the outer walls.
The Kingdom of the Undead was famous across the world. Mofan had yet to see what the land looked like when it descended. It was to prepare himself for the battle against the undead tomorrow.
The outer walls were extremely tall, surrounding the city like an iron bucket. Mofan went up to the walls as a Hunter. As he walked along the endless path, he was surprised to see that the number of guards was more than ten times more than during the day.
A cold wind was blowing from the distance. It was mixed with the smell of rotting soil, which the guards called the smell of death.
The towering city wall stretched across the land as if it had cut off the black land from the middle. However, if one were to look down from above, one would discover that there were many people walking back and forth within the city wall. Similarly, there were also many figures wandering aimlessly outside the city wall ….
Black clouds were looming in the sky, pressing down on the flat land shrouded in darkness. Under the nourishment of the Dew of Death, thousands of creatures were growing. One after another, unknown creatures crawled out from their graves and scanned the world with their green eyes.
Following a sniff, the smell of living creatures came from the direction of the wind … a huge group of them!
Suddenly, the wandering undead wriggled like machines and charged toward the Ancient Capital at a rapid pace, as if they were possessed by a demon!
Their black bodies looked like a bunch of refugees running toward food from afar. However, when they gathered together and rammed into the walls like a rotting flood, their ferocious faces and hungry eyes made the scalps of countless Magicians turn numb!
"Ahhh! Ahhh! "
"Roar! Roar! "
The cries rose and fell. Even the people living in the center of the city could hear the cries of death.
They were gathered under the towering outer walls, using their sharp claws and teeth to destroy the defense that was preventing them from finding food. Some even rammed into the wall with brute force, smashing their flesh and blood into pieces.
"My legs and stomach are trembling," Liu Ru stood at the edge of the city wall and said fearfully.
Mofan cast a sideways glance at Liu Ru and teased, "Strictly speaking, you're also an undead, okay?"
Liu Ru puffed up her cheeks unhappily, as if saying that even if she was an undead, she would still be a beautiful undead.
"Why are there so many of them?" Liu Ru's gaze followed the boundless city walls.
The city walls were so long that they could be called mountain ridges. Groups of Undead could be seen at every sentry tower below the city walls …
In some places, there were so many undead that they had even built human ladders. The undead stepped on the undead and desperately tried to climb over the city walls.
Of course, the guards would not let them pass. Soon, a large group of Magicians arrived. Flames, frost, thunderbolts, storms, and other magic spells of different colors bombarded the place. Large amounts of flesh and blood splattered everywhere. It was a spectacular sight to behold!
"Unrelated people, please leave!"
The voice came from an unknown place. It was so strong that it echoed across the entire city walls.
Mofan and Liu Ru did not have the chance to observe the night that felt like a battle. They were quickly driven away from the city walls. However, as soon as they left, Mofan saw a huge shadow appearing on the horizon through the darkness!
The shadow was surrounded by a huge crowd of undead, spreading out like a rising tide. Even though they could not see the shadow clearly, they could easily imagine how densely packed the undead were.
The shadow let out a proud roar into the sky. Its roar swept across the place like rolling thunder, shaking the city walls slightly.
If the Ancient Capital was a city, the shadow in the distance would be an emperor. Under its command, the earth would spread across the sky, and the army would advance like a tide …
Mo Fan would never forget the last scene for the entire night.
He had always thought that war was far away from the people, but little did he know, the ancient city that had existed for countless years was constantly facing such a war.
It was a war between the living and the dead!
The astonishment took a long time to calm down.
…
…
The night was short, especially for those who had fallen asleep early in the morning.
The night was extremely long, as the battle on the outer walls was still going on.
Mofan was not a light sleeper. He managed to stay awake until dawn.
As the sun rose, the trembling in the distance had stopped. Mofan opened the window and glanced through the densely packed streets and alleys. He saw a huge shadow in the morning mist. It seemed like there was a gap somewhere, but it did not seem to be any different from the previous night.
Mofan could not see clearly what was a few dozen kilometers away. He only knew that the battle had come to an end.
"Didn't sleep well?" Liu Ru asked Mofan across the balcony.
"If it weren't for the fact that we've been staying here for a long time, I bet not many people could sleep well. I shouldn't have gone to the outer walls. I kept having nightmares about the undead breaking through the outer walls," Mofan chuckled.
"It doesn't matter, we're staying inside the inner walls. Even if the outer walls are broken through, isn't the inner walls still a line of defense?" Liu Ru said.
"Little girl, don't be ridiculous. The outer walls are guarded by over a thousand Earth Magicians. How could they possibly break through? If the outer walls were broken through, how many people would die? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! " An old woman's voice suddenly interrupted them. It turned out to be an old resident who was trimming the plants downstairs.
The hotel was quite interesting. The ground floor was occupied by high-end residential apartments, while the upper floor was occupied by hotel apartments.
"I'm sorry," Liu Ru stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly.
"Young people are always so unreasonable. They've all forgotten the spirit that their ancestors left behind. They only know how to hide in the city and let others die …" the old woman began to nag.
Mofan and Liu Ru did not listen to the old woman's words. They proceeded to the south of the outer walls to meet up with Shorty.
…
When they arrived at the south gate, Mofan still could not find Shorty among the crowd. The guy was jumping around while talking to Mofan on the phone, allowing Mofan to barely catch a glimpse of his scalp.
He glanced at Shorty's surroundings and saw a few people gathering around him.
The others looked ordinary as well. Only a woman wearing a black silk veil in the group could not help but attract some special attention.
Nowadays, everyone was wearing a mask when they went out. No one was wearing a black silk veil. He could not help but admit that the woman's outfit was quite gentle.
