Chapter 298 Disaster Sect
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
The door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and Odoli, the lord of Hejian City, walked in hurriedly, with an anxious look on his face. He quickly came to Hollen's side and reported breathlessly: "Lord Hollen, Oh no!"
"News just came from Karen City. Those untouchables who claim to be followers of the God of Disaster have led an army of corpses to attack Crocodile Claw City!"
"Why panic!" Hollen scolded, frowning and said, "Don't worry, Crocodile Claw City is surrounded by high walls, and there are three rune knights guarding the city. The army of corpses cannot threaten them!"
"But Crocodile Claw City has been breached." Odoli hesitated and said tremblingly.
"What!" Hollen's pupils shrank.
"The believers of the God of Disaster in Karen City have established a Disaster Sect. They claim to have a way to cure the plague. Anyone who joins the Disaster Sect can get treatment. So the infected people in Crocodile Claw City quietly opened The city gate!"
"Now, Crocodile Claw City has been controlled by the Calamity Cult!"
After hearing Lord Odoli's story, Wizard Hollen's face suddenly turned gloomy. The Bravo family had lost two-thirds of the territory they controlled in the Marshland Principality.
Karen City and Crocodile Claw City were occupied by the Calamity Cult. Even if the Bravo family finally recaptured the two cities, the losses were irreparable.
"Disaster Sect!" Wizard Hollen gritted his teeth.
"Teacher Hollen should report everything that happened in the Marshland Principality to the academy as soon as possible." On the side, Enzo frowned and said in a deep voice: "The Calamity Sect has taken control of two cities, and the next step is likely to be a target. Hejian City, please leave it to me for the time being!"
"Then it's up to you, Enzo."
Hollen pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "I will go to the City of Mist immediately and report the situation here to the senior management of the college. I can come back in two days at the earliest. During this time, the River City will be left to you!"
"Don't worry, Master Huollen." Enzo nodded.
Marshland Principality, River City.
Two days have passed since the night when the zombie army attacked the city. Wizard Hollen went to the City of Mist alone, intending to report everything that happened in the Swamp Principality to the higher-ups of the college.
On the city wall, Enzo looked down.
In the wilderness in the distance, corpses were slowly walking forward. This was the sixth time in the past two days that the Calamity Sect attacked Hejian City, but every time it was repelled by Hejian City.
"Counting the time, it's time for Wizard Hollen to come back." Enzo said to himself.
Any news related to gods will be taken seriously by the academy. Even if the so-called God of Disaster is just a heretical evil spirit, the higher-ups of the academy will send at least a second-level wizard here for confirmation.
Da da da!
There were footsteps on the city wall. Knight Porter looked tired. He walked to Enzo, knelt down on one knee and said, "Sir Enzo, the rangers outside have just sent back news that a large number of people have appeared near Karen City and Crocodile Claw City." The dead body is heading towards Hejian City!"
"Are you planning to attack the city again?" Enzo raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the specific number of dead bodies?"
"That's not very clear." Knight Potter shook his head and said with an ugly expression: "Nearly all the rangers sent out before were discovered by the followers of the Calamity Cult. Only one ranger escaped back, but he only We saw a large number of dead bodies emerging from Karen City and Crocodile Claw City, and the specific number cannot be estimated."
"Thank you for your hard work, let's get down." Enzo nodded slightly.
Knight Potter caressed his chest and saluted, then retreated. The army of corpses had been attacking the city continuously in recent days. Even the Rune Knight who had been transformed by witchcraft felt extremely tired.
Then, Enzo stood on the city wall and slowly closed his eyes.
The illusory power spread, and his soul seemed to spread out threads. In the wilderness outside Hejian City, crows fell on a twisted tree with a crooked neck.
Flush!
Suddenly, the crows that had fallen on the tree collectively froze for a second, and then they flapped their wings and flew into the sky, heading towards Karen City and Crocodile Claw City.
Through the crow's vision, Enzo stared at the scene below.
On the vast and desolate land, countless corpses were marching forward. The corpses coming out of Karen City and Crocodile Claw City gathered together to form an army of at least tens of thousands of corpses.
"So many!?" Enzo was shocked on the city wall.
It was as if the corpses controlled by the Calamity Sect were all pouring out, numbly moving towards Hejian City. Behind the army of corpses, there were corpse horses, carrying each of the Calamity Sect believers.
"Are you planning to launch a general attack?" Enzo stroked his chin, feeling a little headache.
With an army composed of tens of thousands of corpses, coupled with the followers of the Disaster Sect, it would be difficult to resist even if the gates of Hejian City were sealed. What's more, behind them, there is the God of Disaster who has never shown up.
If Hejian City falls, Enzo will not suffer any loss.
It's just that the civilians in Hejian City may be massacred, and if the matter is too serious, the college will definitely punish the Bravo family, and Enzo, who has accepted the Rainbow Potion, will also be criticized.
After Enzo hesitated, he shouted ": Potter Knight!"
A moment later, Knight Potter appeared on the city wall. He walked over quickly and asked nervously, "What happened? Lord Enzo."
"I just used witchcraft to take a look. There are at least tens of thousands of dead bodies in the wilderness, and they are about to attack Hejian City!"
"What!?" Knight Potter was shocked and asked quickly, "Then what should we do now?"
"Gather all the soldiers in the city to be responsible for the defense of the city wall." Enzo stroked his chin, and after thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Wizard Hollen went to the academy and should be back soon. You try to delay it as much as possible."
"We?" Knight Potter was stunned and said, "What about you?"
"I plan to go to Karen City." Enzo said with serious eyes, "That is the headquarters of the Calamity Sect. The power to control the movements of the dead may also originate from there!"
"If we can solve the root cause, then the army of corpses will not be a problem."
Judging from the current situation, the defense of Hejian City is obviously unable to withstand the attack of the zombie army. Even if Enzo is added, it can only delay the attack for a longer time.
However, if we can enter Karen City and destroy the headquarters of the Calamity Sect, then all problems will naturally be solved.
"Hejian City obeys your orders!" After a moment of hesitation, Potter nodded heavily.
Before Wizard Hollen left, he handed over the command of River City to Enzo, so all the orders he gave must be carried out by the Potter Knights.
"I hope Lord Hollen can come back soon." Knight Potter murmured to himself.
