Chapter 932: Strange Situation (Part Two)

“Yeah! Priest Andy is right! We have 12 people! What are we afraid of? In addition, we hired you guys, so you should listen to us.” Another priest who was bald and had a white beard and the third priest who had a baby face but also had wrinkles all over agreed with the blond Priest Andy.

Seeing the three priests persisting, the other nine people looked uncertain. After discussing amongst themselves, they agreed to Priest Andy’s request.

After making some noises and attracting the attention of the zombies on the square, they turned into 12 beams of light and flew into the sky, dashing behind the tall and firm defense walls of the Royal Palace of Anji.

“Huh? The Holy Church hired these people? Strange… something is off. If they are really after something important, they don’t need to enlist help from others. The Northern Regional Church has more than ten Sun-Class Lords, and they could complete this mission,” Fei thought to himself as he hid in the dark. He saw and heard everything, and he got a little suspicious.

The king’s strength was way higher than those 12 people, and the Assassin character was great at hiding and achieving stealth. Therefore, he didn’t have to worry about being discovered by those 12 people and the zombies. After thinking for a while, the king followed them directly.

…

“How can this be?”

Seeing one of their peers on the ground, missing his heart, the other 11 masters’ expressions changed.

They only entered the Royal Palace of Anji not long ago. Before they could explore and go deeper, a terrifying Undead Black Knight sneak-attacked them, instantly killing one of their peers. Although that person was only at peak Full Moon Realm, and he was the weakest in the group, his death seemed to signify something, and others feel sad and sensed an ominous threat.

“May his soul rest in peace!” Priest Andy who had long blond curly hair prayed and quickly urged everyone, “Guys, let’s continue. This mission is dangerous so that casualties couldn’t be completely avoided. We have limited time, so we can’t mourn too much!”

With ugly expressions, the group of people moved forward, venturing deeper into the Royal Palace of Anji with cautious.

The Royal Palace of Anji was giant, and the paths were all curly, so they had to make turns frequently.

Since tall buildings and giant statues were everywhere, people’s vision was blocked off, and it was easy for them to lose their sense of direction. However, people didn’t dare to jump up and fly out of the city; they didn’t want to face a wave of zombie kings.

“The situation is strange. Why are there no undead creatures in this giant Royal Palace?” the clever middle-aged man suddenly asked with an ominous feeling looming on his mind.

“I feel like something is off; it is too quiet in here,” another mercenary said in agreement, “My intuition is usually sharp. I feel like we have fallen into a well-prepared trap.”

As a mercenary, this man started as a little figure and worked all his way up. After hundreds of battles, he became a Sun-Class Mercenary King. He had been close to death many times, so he had a sharp instinct and was very sensitive to danger.

Hearing his words, other few masters looked regretful and wanted to retreat.

Today, something was strange.

A few people already regretted being hired by the Holy Church due to their greed; this mission seemed strange from the very beginning.

“You are overthinking this. According to the stories, Emperor Kerimov of Anji was lustful, and only beautiful women were kept here; they were mostly weak and defenseless. Also, this emperor was proud of his strength, so he never stationed guards. Besides, all the females had to be naked in here. Without cultivation strength, these women can only be ordinary zombies after being turned into undead creatures. Since they are blocked inside the Royal Palace by the tall walls, they couldn’t evolve. What is there to be afraid of?”
