Chapter 181
It was easy to think about notorious necromancers whenever zombies were mentioned . People on the outside of the crowd suddenly run away . Anfey only saw a few areas of fighting there . Maybe it was because their friends and families had been killed by zombies, or they had nowhere to hide from if the zombies chased them . Each battle had over ten mercenaries fighting hard with one or a few zombies . When people were pushed to the corner, they usually would become terribly crazy . At that moment, the roaring of the zombies was overcome by mercenaries’ noises . Without the protection of dark magic, warm sunlight had caused a lot of damage to the zombies . They were just struggling before they died . Anfey made a decision not to join the battle, since it was obvious the mercenaries were going to win .
"Anfey, what are you doing here?" A person walked in big strides towards Anfey . .
"Orsie, we are seeing each other again . " Anfey had a good impression on Orsie . He was the commander of Warflame mercenary group . Orsie was the only one who had spoken up for Anfey . In other words, he was the only one who spoke up for justice .
"Why are you here?" Orsie looked up and down at Anfey .
"Anfey, are you messing with us?" Ozzic came from nowhere . He looked angry, and few mercenary commanders followed him .
"Don’t be so rude . If we had not destroyed their magic array, you would have turned into zombies," Riska said coldly . Ozzic was shocked for a second . The other mercenary commanders looked at the each other and had awkward smiles on their faces . They would not have become commanders if they were stupid . They felt they were in an unknown dark world with that unknown magic array . They could not see anything, but were still able to hear each other . The endless dark weakened them physically and mentally . They had felt like they were about to go crazy . Mages found their ability to call elements slowed down to nothing when they chanted . They heard their companions screaming and felt helpless . They were finally saved from the dark when the beautiful sunlight came . Ozzic and other mercenary commanders thought it might have been Anfey who had saved them, and now were sure it could only have been Anfey saving them after hearing Riska speak .
"We discovered a group of necromancers in Hengduan Valley . We have been tracking them since yesterday," Anfey explained .
Ozzic suddenly looked terrible . "Anfey, what did you say? A group of necromancers?"
"Yes, a group of them . I am not sure about the specific number," Anfey said slowly . "There is a senior necromancer in that group . He is the leader . I did not want him to see me, so I was only able to watch from a distance . "
"A senior necromancer?" Ozzic raised his voice . It was rare to see a necromancer . They never thought they would see a senior necromancer . Ozzic started to doubt whether he was "blessed" by Moros . He had stumbled into all kinds of bad luck .
"You are right . You are not the first mercenary group that came under surprise attack by necromancers . You will not be the last one either," Anfey sighed . "There have been several mercenary groups attacked by them . "
"How do you know?" Ozzic asked .
"There are more than a thousand zombies . Where are they from?" Anfey asked a rhetorical question .
"These damn necromancers . " Ozzic cursed and gritted his teeth . He had killed other mercenaries for his own benefit or some other reason, but could see others killing mercenaries in the Country of Mercenaries . From one side, mercenaries were united . From the other side, there had been conflicts and struggles among mercenaries . This could be a rare scene for the Country of Mercenaries .
The battle with the zombies had approached its end . The zombies who received direct sunlight had no strength to fight back . They were slayed on the ground one by one by mercenaries . Some mercenaries worried that slaying them on the ground was not enough to kill them . They got cruder . They cut the zombies into pieces until they thought the zombie had no way to survive .
Over a dozen of mercenaries who had first joined the battle finally felt relieved . They felt like they had beaten vicious senior magic beasts . They straightened their backs and walked to Ozzic with proud faces . They did not realize how other mercenaries looked at them until Ozzic stepped back to dodge them . They were shocked and froze in their places .
The battle was over, but the wounds on their bodies were still there . One of the mercenaries had been bitten on the face . His left cheek was so bloody that it was hard to tell the bare bone from the flesh . The blood ran down his face and neck, and dyed half his shoulder a blood red . The wound caused by zombies’ scratches on another mercenary’s chest was so deep that his bones were exposed . Two mercenaries were missing an ear . They stood side by side, which made them look funny . At least half of the other dozen-plus mercenaries were hurt to some degree . Other mercenaries seemed to have similar situations as they did . Most of them had gotten hurt fighting with zombies . Ozzic felt discomfort in his throat, and he swallowed . He looked sophisticated . He looked like he was making a tough decision .
The mercenaries standing over there seemed to know what had happened . Some mercenaries immediately looked for wounds on their bodies, while others looked desperate, since they knew they had wounds on them . They had been through thick and thin together . They might not be scared by death, but they got scared by actually facing the reality they were turning into zombies .
