Twilight West City's eastern defense zone, one hour before the doomsday is triggered.
The shadow lay lazily on the grass, turning back and watching quietly as the doctor injected a can of vaccine into its body.
Alfonso took off his helmet, took the cloth handed by the knight, and wiped the stains on his face that were a mixture of sweat and blood.
While wiping, he walked to Shadow and said, "I didn't expect you to come to help us."
Shadow's voice sounded very harsh, like two pieces of glass rubbing against each other: "I am fulfilling the agreement with your king."
Alfonso turned around and looked at the army of war beasts brought by Shadow.
There, there were spiny wolves, poisonous crocodiles, pterosaurs, and many other creatures he couldn't name.
Shadow glanced at Alfonso and said: "The Lord of the Dragon Kingdom is willing to use his protection and the power to live on the ground in exchange for the support of the war beast lords. Unfortunately, there are not many guys who are willing to believe this agreement.
.”
Alfonso: "But you're here."
Shadow: "You and I have been together for a while. I know that the Lord of the Dragon Kingdom is different from the humans in the past. I am willing to try to believe in him."
Alfonso: "Your trust will not be betrayed."
The shadow raised his head and looked into the distance: "The undead have spread all over the world, and the sky, ocean and even the underground have become their paradise. Those war beast lords who have lived underground for a long time have always thought that their lairs are safe, but
It’s only a matter of time before the place is invaded by the undead.”
"Rather than sit back and wait for death, I would rather come to the ground and fight to get a chance to survive."
Alfonso nodded and was about to say something when a knight came behind him and said to him: "Captain, you should come and see this."
Alfonso bowed slightly apologetically to the shadow, and followed the knight to a corner of the battlefield.
The remains of an undead body covered in spikes were scattered on the ground in pieces.
Cumberland crouched next to the wreckage, examining it carefully while listening to the analysis of the army physician.
"This undead has many abilities such as speed, increased agility, enhanced jumping ability, etc., and its body also has a unique function of war beasts - bursting of spikes. Therefore, we infer that the undead has begun
There is a fusion between species and abilities.”
Cumberland said in a deep voice: "Tell me more details."
The doctor said while thinking: "The undead before this can be roughly divided into two types. One is the simple infection type, and the other is the supernatural infection type. The latter type is also called the heterogeneous undead.
.”
"The simple infection type is very common. It is an ordinary undead that is transformed into an ordinary undead after the organism is infected by the undead parasite."
"The super-infectious type is rarer. Most of them were alien species during their lifetime and more or less retained some superpowers after death."
The doctor pointed to the bone spur undead on the ground and said: "However, this kind of undead has never appeared before. It has many different powers at the same time, and it fuses the bodies of humans and war beasts together to form a kind of undead spirit.
A very terrible monster."
Cumberland asked, "Why?"
The doctor thought for a while: "When His Majesty was studying the undead in the past, he once said that the undead virus, the source of the undead, has the ability to filter and combine biological genetic information, but this ability has not worked before. However,
, the emergence of the Bone Spur Necromancer means that the Necromancer virus has evolved to a new stage, a stage where superpowers and functions can be freely combined."
Cumberland frowned: "Things are getting more difficult."
Alfonso, who had been listening until now, asked: "Is there any good way to eliminate them?"
The doctor scratched his head: "The Necrotic Vaccine is the best way to eliminate them, but the current vaccine production capacity is seriously insufficient... Another way is to target the weaknesses of different high-level mutant Necrons and defeat them one by one."
"For example, this Bone Spur Necromancer, although its body is flexible, its skin is very fragile. Any weapon can penetrate its body... Therefore, cutting off the head is the safest way."
Alfonso asked: "If new high-level alien undead spirits appear, even if you chop off their heads, you still can't stop them?"
The doctor paused for a moment.
After thinking for a long time, he could only shake his head and give this answer: "Then its weakness must be hidden in the body, but until it is discovered, there is nothing we can do."
Alfonso and Cumberland looked at each other, and both of them showed uneasiness in their expressions.
The doctor still wanted to say something, but suddenly looked at the sky in the distance, and his whole body entered a state of shock.
Alfonso, who noticed something strange, followed the other person's line of sight and immediately forgot to speak.
The sky, the whole sky suddenly turned blood red.
The sun, moon and stars were no longer visible, completely lost in the blood.
"This is……?!"
Cumberland looked at the sky, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his instinct made him realize that something was wrong.
A moment later, a violent earthquake occurred on the ground.
Spider web-like cracks appeared on the ground. Looking down from a high altitude, large tracts of land began to fall apart like icebergs floating on the sea.
Alfonso gripped the ground tightly and turned his head in the direction of Muxi City.
Under the reflection of the bloody sky, the buildings in Muxi City collapsed one after another.
The huge clock tower made a harsh crashing sound, tilted and hit the fleeing citizens.
The inner city, which symbolized the royal power, collapsed in the strong earthquake, and half of it was turned into ruins.
The entire Muxi City, a holy place that millions of people fight for and protect, is like a lonely boat in the ocean in the face of natural disasters, with the possibility of overturning at any time.
Cumberland staggered towards Duxi City, the blood of doom reflecting the sorrow in his eyes.
"The undead appear in the world, the earth cracks, the sky is like blood...Is this really...the end of the world?"
Alfonso struggled to walk behind Cumberland and shouted: "Grand Commander, we must rush back to the city!"
Cumberland lowered his head, looked at the black dragon badge on his chest, and said in a deep voice: "When His Majesty left, he entrusted me to protect everything in Muxi City. I will not let him down."
"Mount!" Cumberland mounted his horse and led the knights towards the direction of Duixi City at full speed.
Although the earthquake has slowly stopped, as far as the eye can see in the city, there are dead and injured everywhere and it is riddled with holes.
Under the collapsed buildings, the cries and pleas for help of the injured could be heard everywhere.
The neat streets are now replaced by huge ravines. Looking down, the bottomless abyss makes people shudder.
Cumberland turned over and dismounted, looked at the mess in Muxi City, and immediately ordered: "The Valkyrie and War Beast troops are responsible for patrolling outside the city. The others are responsible for rescuing the citizens!"
