Chapter 332

Suzanna, Ernest, and Anfey killed the only zombies active in the area . Nothing disturbed them again during the night . When they were about to leave, Black Eleven spotted the two mercenaries from Shadow mercenary group approaching them . The two mercenaries were standing by the side of the road and looked as if they wanted to say something, but could not bring themselves to do so . "Find them some horses," Anfey instructed .



Black Eleven brought two horses for the mercenaries but mounted silently . People enjoyed the company of others, especially in times of great crisis . People would band together with complete strangers to achieve their goals . The mercenaries could easily conceal themselves, but spending time in a forest filled with creatures of death was hard . When they saw Ernest, they knew that it would be wise to team up with him . They left Moramatch because they had grown frustrated with the way things were run there, but they still needed friends .

The group traveled deeper into the mountains . Transverse Mountains were already infested with creatures of death, and there were no travelers to be seen . Anfey stopped his horse and said, "Is there no one alive around here?"

"No," one of the mercenaries said, shaking his head . "You are the first people we have seen in a week . "

"Where else did you go after you left Moramatch?"

"We just kept heading west . We needed to reach Maho Empire . It’s too dangerous anywhere else," Ling, the woman, said .

"Why did you decide to come with us then?"

"That’s still our home . We want to protect it," the other mercenary said . She glanced at Ernest and pursed her lips .

"Did the creatures of death attack Moramatch?"

"They did . "

"What happened?"

"There are thousands of mercenaries in Moramatch right now . Those things didn’t stand a chance . "

"How many mercenaries?" Christian interrupted .

"At least a thousand . Maybe more . "

"How is that possible?"

"Wasn’t it you who said that all mercenaries should band together?" Long, the male mercenary, said, shaking his head .

"I don’t know what happened in Moramatch . Why would I lie to you about it? Even if the mercenaries should unite, they should rally around the four major mercenary groups . "

"Those people?" Long chuckled . "Glory and Thunder mercenary groups had already closed White Mountain City . Blackwater is closed as well . Those outside can’t get in, those inside can’t get out . There’s nowhere else to go . "

"Why would they do that?" Christian asked . "That makes no sense . "

"Why not? We’re mercenaries, do you understand?"

"What about mercenaries?"



Long shook his head and turned away his gaze . The woman sighed and said, "All the farmers living in Country of Mercenaries fled . All of our food was bought from merchants and peddlers . "

"Are there no supplies stored in White Mountain and Blackwater City?"

"There are, but not enough to supply the entire nation for a long time . "

"What about Moramatch?" Anfey asked .


"Are you asking me what’s happening in your city?" Ling asked, amused .

Anfey frowned . He did not know what Alice had done after he left . She summoned more than a thousand mercenaries to Moramatch, which could be a good thing if she had enough food supplies . This had nothing to do with personal conflicts . This was a matter of life and death . Anfey would do the same thing if he was in her place . But she shouldn’t have been so strict . The different mercenaries groups were working together towards the same goal, but that did not mean they were the same group . It would take time for those mercenaries to trust each other and start working together as a group . Alice should know this .

Suddenly, a shrill scream broke the silence of the forest . Anfey frowned and looked around with the Heart of Nature . He quickly found the source of the disturbance . He pointed to his right and turned to Suzanna . "There’s someone fighting a zombie over there . Blavi, go with her . "

Blavi levitated into the air and disappeared into the trees . Suzanna summoned her combat power and disappeared after him .

"How did you know there’s a fight?" Ling asked, narrowing her eyes .

"That’s my secret," Anfey said with a smile .



After a few tense minutes, Suzanna and Blavi appeared through the trees, supporting a wounded mercenary between them . The mercenary’s head was hanging low and his long hair obscured his face . He was stumbling and his shirt was bloodstained .

"Be careful!" Ling screamed suddenly . "He’s already contaminated . "

Suzanna and Blavi dropped the mercenary and jumped aside . Suzanna drew her sword and swept it across the man’s torso . A deep gush appeared on the man’s body and he stumbled to the ground .

The time was nearing noon and the sun was high in the sky . As soon as sunlight touched the man’s body, he screamed in agony . Dark smoke rose from where the light touched his body . Anfey frowned . He jumped off of his horse and marched over to where the man had fallen and crouched down next to him .

The man’s body was covered with large warts that quickly broke open . Fine dust rose from the man’s body and dispersed in the wind . As more warts appeared and disappeared, the mercenary’s body became smaller and smaller until finally he was nothing more than a blackened corpse .

"I thought zombies could survive under sunlight," Anfey said, turning to the two mercenaries from Shadow mercenary group . "Why did this one die?"

"You think we would know?"

"Well, at least we know that there won’t be any new zombies," Christian said .

"Did you guys see any necromancers on the way?" Anfey asked .

"Once . "

"Just once?"

"Yes . "

"Strange…"

"Those things have their own leaders as well," the male mercenary said . "They’re weird . They’re stronger than normal zombies and faster . Those leaders can use magic and are intelligent . "

"We noticed that too," Anfey said . "Clearly the zombies are still scared of sunlight when they first transform . What changed?"

"Maybe the necromancers discovered new magic,"

"I think so too," Ling said . "Those leaders aren’t afraid of Priests, either . They aren’t at all effected by light magic . "

"The Priests must be confused," Anfey said .

"I’m not fond of the Priests, but they are our greatest weapons," Long said . "Light magic is more effective than forbidden spells when it comes to fighting necromancers . "

"That’s not our worry right now," Anfey said, mounting his horse again . "I need to know what’s happening at Moramatch . "

Long and Ling looked at Anfey frowning . Clearly, Anfey did not know that the mercenaries were flocking to Moramatch to seek help and protection from him, not Alice .
