At dusk, the battleship Nagirfa is still anchored about three kilometers away from the eastern suburbs of Athens. The Leopards are busy looking for survivors in the city.
"Okay, gently..." Bedivere directed another Leopard Man to move the rubble away. A young Leopard Man was trapped under the collapsed giant wooden house.
When the Leopard Man boy saw Bedivere, he was a little scared at first, but the Leopard Man boy's legs were crushed by the heavy wooden pillars. He was so frightened that he wanted to struggle, but he was trembling in pain, and he didn't even dare to struggle.
"Don't be afraid, kid." The werewolf boy crawled into the rubble, "I will save you now."
He saw the boy's crushed left leg, so he used local materials to make a splint with wooden boards and strips of cloth to fix the broken leg of the Leopard Man boy, and then carefully dragged the survivor outside the house.
"Mom...Mom is still inside..." the leopard boy muttered in a low voice.
Bedi glanced at the situation deep in the rubble. There was a crushed, bloody hand. "...I'm sorry...your mother has..."
The boy had fainted in Bediwell's arms.
Under last night's attack, about 10,000 people in Athens, which originally had a population of 130,000, evacuated in time, 20,000 were killed or injured*, and about 100,000 were missing.
(*Note: The corpses burned to ashes by incendiary bombs could not be confirmed dead. Most of the 20,000 people were "injured".)
The attack by the succubus Morgoth caused heavy casualties to the leopard men. The witch caused such heavy casualties just to snatch a golem. Her behavior was outrageous.
Bedivere suppressed the anger in his heart, while helping to rescue the injured, while thinking about the next action.
Half an hour later, in the temporary first aid station built with cloth and wood, Bedi was still busy calming the emotions of the rescued Leopard boy, while Kaos and several Leopard men had already moved in new wounded people.
"...Come out with me for a moment." Kaos saw Bedi there and gestured to the werewolf boy.
"What's wrong?" Bedi and Kaos came outside the first aid station and asked quickly.
Kaos didn't bother much and asked straight to the point: "Don't you think it's strange? Most of the people rescued are children."
"Well..." Bedi glanced at the first aid station. Indeed, among the dozens of wounded, all were teenagers and girls, and there were almost no adults.
"That demon girl Morgos probably specially selected adults to kill, hoping to obtain strong orc corpses to strengthen her undead army." Kaosu held his chin and analyzed, "I'm afraid what we burned yesterday was not the undead army.
The main force. The real main force has been taken away by that woman."
Bedivere was shocked: "Why does she need such a large army?!"
Undead warriors are different from ordinary soldiers. Although they have immortality, they need the inherent photons of the succubus to drive them. And the inherent photons will continue to be consumed while driving the undead.
To put it bluntly, [the fuel will eventually run out].
Moreover, those are corpses. They will continue to decay and deteriorate over time. Even if Morgosi can use inherent photons to drive the undead with only bones left, the combat effectiveness of those bone undead will continue to weaken.
Undead warriors are [not resistant to preservation]. Once the preservation period expires, these corpses will no longer be usable due to excessive decay. Even if they are barely used, their combat capabilities will be greatly reduced.
Morgoth attacked Athens and created an army of tens of thousands of undead. There must be some big conspiracy.
She will make bigger moves in the short term. For example, start a war against a certain force!
Thinking of this, Bedivere's face instantly turned pale.
"Tell me, who is Morgoth, what does she want, and what is she planning?" Kaos asked.
Bedivere couldn't answer. He knew very little about Morgoth's background. He only heard that Morgoth was Arthur's half-sister.
"About that issue," a voice sounded from behind Bedivere. A familiar female voice.
"Let me answer you." The werewolf boy turned his head in surprise and saw a leopard woman with dark hair. She had bright black eyes and long and flowing black hair, and the black armor robe on her body was magic.
The standard attire of magicians---although it only has a few meager pieces of armor, it is light and convenient and will not hinder the magicians from casting spells.
Leopard Man?...Leopard Man Magician!?
But this voice, this smell, she is clearly ------
"Don't go so fast, wait for us!" Another leopard warrior with black hair followed the woman.
He also has pure shiny black leopard fur all over his body, which matches the lady's appearance very well. He is Paramidis. Bedivere has already seen Paramidis whose hair has turned black, and he is not particularly surprised. 2.
Behind him were two blue-haired leopard men: Seifer and Seglade.
"Palamedes?! Then...you are indeed Vivian?! But, you------"
Before Bediwell finished speaking, the Black Panther lady covered his mouth with one hand: "Shh... don't say anything, I will explain the next thing." Vivian said.
She seemed to have used the succubus's transformation ability to transform into a leopard, and Bedivere finally understood. Since Morgoth could transform into a leopard, her sister Vivian should be able to make the same change.
Bedivere once heard Arthur say that the succubus is the incarnation of [Chaos] and has no specific form. But he did not expect that Vivian, who was originally a stunning beauty, could leave her human form and become an orc. He
Nor did he expect that Palamedes would suddenly appear in Athens with his entire family.
Is this Vivian's idea? Taking such a huge risk to bring her family to Athens must be a very serious matter.
------While Bedi was in a daze, Kaos looked at Palamedes and this strange woman with hostility.
Paramedis is still considered a traitor to the Grik tribe (leopard people), and he suddenly appeared at this time. It is difficult to imagine that this disaster has nothing to do with Paramedis.
He really wanted to capture the traitor first and interrogate him. But Kaos suppressed his impulse: there was a lady in front of him, and he didn't want her to see his brutal side.
"Very good. Please explain." Kaos was cautious and asked while pressing his hand tightly on the weapon on his waist: "Does this disaster have anything to do with you, this...Ms. Vivian?"
As if protecting her own child, Vivian, who transformed into a leopard man, pulled Bediwell over: "There are many people here. Let's find a place where we can talk quietly."
"Very good... The patriarch's house was not destroyed. Let's go there to chat." Kaos glanced at Palamedes.
"Call your brother too." Palamedes added, "I know there are a lot of misunderstandings between us. But I am here sincerely to help you overcome the crisis. Let us sit down and talk.
Let’s talk.”
Kaos was still full of suspicion. He remained silent and led the group towards the direction of the patriarch's house.
