Chapter 971 - Assault on Haisas
Chapter 971 Assault on Haisas
Haisas was attacked at midnight.
The assault came from outside the city.
Hundreds and thousands of infected civilians that had been transformed into poison zombies swarmed from every direction, wildly charging at the city gates.
Spirit of Pestilence Remi had spread the plague seeds across all the nearby human settlements for this moment. The number of people who he had secretly infected reached into the thousands. To avoid alarming the knights, all of these plague seeds had remained inert within the bodies of the merchants and villagers, reducing their lethality to the minimum.
When Greem gave the order, Remin instantly activated all of the plague seeds.
In a single instant, thousands of humans across a dozen towns immediately collapsed to the ground, howling in agony. Their bodies then started to transform into terrifying poison zombies. Those with a weaker Physique died tragically in the painful transformation process.
Only seven or eight hundred managed to survive the process and become poison zombies.
Along the way, he could see the holy knights and soldiers who had gathered in a hurry. The streets around the Chapel were already under strict martial law; no one was allowed to approach. Only a few of the higher nobility of Haisas City could seek temporary shelter in the Holy Light Chapel under the protection of the knights.
The other nobles could not even take a step into the Holy Light Chapel, no matter how they cried or begged or cursed or screamed. However, they were still in a much better position than ordinary civilians. After all, they were surrounded by a large group of city guards and holy knights who could protect them.
The city had now descended into chaos, and the command hierarchy of the city guards and holy knights had become less organized.
Dressed as an Iron Knight, Greem managed to arrive at the gates of the Holy Light Chapel, almost entirely unobstructed.
Towering barriers had been erected here, guarded personally by large groups of holy knights.
These knights couldn’t help but grab their swords upon seeing someone approach. Their breath caught in their throats. However, they silently let out a sigh of relief when they saw Greem’s armor.
A Second Grade Silver Knight walked forward and shouted, “What is your name? What are you doing here instead of staying at your station at this moment?”
Greem spoke with a solemn face, “Bring me to see the Lord Commander, I have found tracks of the adepts in the city!”
“What? Where are the adepts?” The expression of the Silver Knight froze, and he quickly and anxiously asked.
“This is urgent. Bring me to see the Lord Commander now. I was sent to the noble’s area a few days ago and accidentally discovered someone colluding with the adepts. They brought the adepts into the city and even secretly held some terrifying and evil ceremonies.”
“What? These damned nobles.” The Silver Knight immediately gritted his teeth and said, “Very well, this is useful information. I will bring you to see the Lord Commander now. Only he can give orders for such an important matter. Come with me!”
Having said that, the Silver Knight turned to leave a few orders to his subordinates. He then hastily led Greem into the interior of the Holy Light Chapel.
As the two walked into the chapel, Greem looked around at all the buildings inside this place.
“Sir, I secretly took a look at their evil ritual earlier. It is very likely going to be used to attack our Holy Ward. Is the security there sufficient?”
“Don’t worry!” The Silver Knight casually pointed at a brightly lit hall to the right of the cathedral and explained, “Three Silver Knights guard that place. The enemy will have no chance of…”
Suddenly, before he could finish, he felt an overwhelming elementium flux come from behind him.
When he turned his head in shock, it was a rapidly growing metal fist that greeted him.
