Chapter 1859: 24.120 Sixth Violet Star - Undead Lords

At the command center, where the military had prepared for the marshal. Most survivors were moved to this place including the Long Clan. Long Tian as the marshal that leads the human race hasn’t seen his family ever since the calamity of the undead had fallen in their city. He also barely rested all this time.

Reports about the clean up within the city had always been reported to him 24/7.

"Sir, please don’t drink coffee. You’ll suffer from gastritis if this continues. Have some water, energy drink or juice." A soldier said to the Marshal.

The marshal said, "Give me a cup of water."

"Yes!"

Soldiers who came to report started reporting most of them were messengers who were sent with the pick up team to secure the survivors saved from the north, south, east and west districts.

"Sir, Lord Mu said there is no problem in the east region and they are proceeding with the clean up."

"Lord Xie Yun and Lord Xie Hei had found traces of higher rank undead in the south region."

"Beast God Lord Mo had cleaned up the west region. The survivors had been brought back."

"Beastmen Leader, Lord Huzi fought against an Undead Warrior that is as tall as a three floor building and said that there is a possibility of Undead Lord existing. Undead Warriors can only be created by Undead lords."

The atmosphere in the command center turned gloomy. Who would have expected that an Undead Lord would even come out now. It seems they need to make preparations to fight huge undead like the Undead Warriors in groups. They just hope that the other four leading the clean up teams would be able to defeat the kind of opponents like the undead warriors.

Long Tian commanded, "Send support to the side of Xie Yun and Xie Hei. Also to the side of Mu Liao just in case. Send a messenger to the north and west, ask if they require support."

"Also, did the team that scouted the Pei Clan’s Territory had returned?"

"Not yet, Lord Marshal!"

"Try to contact them!" Long Tian commanded.

"Yes!"

The possible existence of the undead lord made Marshal Long Tian deploy more from the military to send support to those at frontline to eliminate the undead.

"Sir, there is no response to the scout team!"

"Lord Marshal, Undead lord’s presence had been spotted! But..."

Long Tian asked, "Where did the Undead Lord appear?!"

"Lord Marshal... Four... There are four undead lords. They appeared in the north, south, east and west simultaneously!"

Silence

The sudden stillness fell in the room. No one would have expected that there are truly Undead Lords and moreover, four of them. Now, the human race is questioning whether they can survive this calamity or not. The first one to recover is the Marshal.

Long Tian said, "Urgently send support to the four regions. Focus more on the East. Mu Liao is only alone and he is only human with barely any support!"

"Yes, Sir!"

The whole command center was now in panic, yet orderly as they made their moves under the command of the marshal. Now, the whole military is on the move and the survivors in the building felt the tension within the atmosphere. At the area where the Long Clan is staying, the old marshal has woken up and his health is slowly returning to normal. Thanks to the blood transfusion done on time, they had avoided the worse case scenario.

Long Juedi and Long Teng were being trained by Long Kian in the training room. The latter left them temporarily to take a break and visited his father. On his way, he saw soldiers urgently running around giving him a bad feeling and stopped one of these soldiers to ask the situation.

"Stop for a moment. What is this urgency for? What is the current situation?" Long Kian asked.

The soldier was in a hurry but after seeing that it was Long Kian, he stopped and answered his question.

"Answering to Lord Kian, the whole city is in a state of emergency. They said four undead lords were found and most soldiers were deployed for support. Please excuse me. I had to answer the summons!" The soldier said before running out to his designation location.

Long Kian went to his father’s room and saw Patriarch Mu spending time with his old man. Ever since the relationship between these two had gotten better, they would spend hours talking about old good times. The moment he entered the room, the two old men looked at him and noticed that his expression wasn’t that good.

Long Huang, the old marshal, knew that his eldest son didn’t know how to control his expressions and thoughts. That’s why his youngest son became the marshal after him.

The Old Marshal asked, "Kian’er, what’s with that face? Did something happen?"

"The soldiers have been a bit tense lately. Something big must have happened." The Mu Patriarch said.

Long Kian had no choice but to inform them, "It seems that undead lords had appeared. Brother must be sending support to the locations where it appeared."

"Your son has also helped with the clean up. Will he be alright?" The old marshal said.

The Mu Patriarch said, "A’Liao will be alright. That brat had longed to become stronger than I am. There is no need to worry about him. I’ve heard that the Beastman Leader and the Beast God had come out of the Ancient Forest. Are they truly willing to help us, humans? After all, our race had done such a thing."

"Regardless of race, there will be a bad one and good one. I do not think someone who can lead his race will not understand such a thing. I am more worried about that evil child from the Pei Clan. As of now, the one destined to fight against him is still too young," Long Huang said.

The old marshal added, "I guess it’s time for all the other races to gather once again. This time, we should include the beastmen. With their strength, we should be able to fight against that evil one."

"I will send some letters to each race’s leader. This will be prepared for now. If the current marshal fails to prevent the evil thing from being born, we can only get ready for worse," The Mu Patriarch said.

The old marshal agreed to Mu Patriarch’s words and nodded his head. He then looked at his eldest son.

"Kian’er, make preparations to hide the whereabouts of Long Juedi and Long Teng, just in case something happens. The preparations must be completed."

Long Kian asked, "Father, is there truly no other way?"

"None. Even undead lords appeared, the children must be brought to safety. The ancient forest is the home of the beastmen. They will not accept adults in their territory. But if we beg, they can at least accept the children. Find me a way to contact the Lord of the Beastmen," Long Huang, the old marshal said.

Long Kian with a serious expression said, "Alright. I will go ask Brother." He left the room and headed to find the current marshal.

After Long Kian had left, the color of the old marshal had turned a bit pale. Even though he is healing it is almost impossible for him to return to his healthy state. He got a hole in his heart after all. It would never be the same as before.

The Mu Patriarch knew about this and hid it from the Long Clan as the old marshal wished. He supported Long Huang to lie down to rest and stayed to protect him.

Long Huang said, "I know you are worried about your son. Go ahead and look at him. If it’s you Tian’er will at least let you see the current situation of your son. I will sleep for a while. You can go ahead and do what you must."

Under fatigue and weak health the old marshal closed his eyes to sleep. Mu Patriarch had tucked him under his blanket and sat beside him without moving. It’s not that he wasn’t worried about his son, it’s just that he had no heart to betray his master for the second time. That’s why even though he is worried about Mu Liao, he can’t leave the old marshal unattended.

On the other hand, those in the regions who were found with the presence of the undead received an emergency call from the command center. Mu Liao and his mercenary group were resting in a tent they erected when suddenly they received a message from the command center.

"Boss, the military issued an emergency protocol. They said that in this eastern region an undead lord was detected."

For some reason, the mercenaries in the tent didn’t look nervous. It was as if they were waiting for this news all along and just simply reported the issue to the Mercenary Tower’s Lord, Mu Liao.

Mu Liao was playing with a rosary hanging on his neck and said, "I told you right? This place reeks of death the most."
