Chapter 1860: 24.121 Sixth Violet Star - Command Center’s Crisis
After the four regions had been informed about the presence of the undead lords. Since the leaders were informed most soldiers had been sent out to give them support. Mu Liao and the pair of Xie had no problem with it. Huzi, the beastmen leader declined. His reply was ’It’s better for them to support others. For me, the less crowded it is the better.’
At first the military didn’t understand, only when a beastman told them that their leader’s beast form is larger than a building, only then did they understand that crowds would just drag this beastman leader down. No wonder most beastmen followed his mate, the Beast god.
Actually, Mo Minkong’s original form is bigger, but he rarely returns to his real form. He can utilize his original strength even in his human form, though only half of the original.
On the other hand from the west region, after learning what the human marshal had issued as a command, Mo Minkong frowned for a bit making the soldiers and beastmen in front of him uncomfortable.
Mo Minkong said, "It is better if not all soldiers were sent out. The sudden appearance of the four undeads might be intentional. If all the manpower left the command center, who will protect the survivors and the head of your race?"
The moment the soldiers who came to support the west heard these words, they immediately asked permission to return. Clearly, this beast god doesn’t need support from them. After bidding their farewell to the beast god, they hurriedly returned to the command center and contacted them on the way. They told them what the Beast God had just told them.
Once they heard what the Beast God had said, Long Tian frowned and felt that the situation Mo Minkong had mentioned is not an impossible thing. Though there are lots of weapons in the tower they indeed had sent out most of the combatants leaving them vulnerable. Thankfully, the north and the west regions declined the support troops sent to them and are now on their way back.
At the command room, the soldiers inside were whispering to one another.
"The sudden appearance of the four undead lords is unexpected. But who would think of it as a trap?"
"But this idea is feasible. After all, it’s undeniable that we are currently vulnerable if an attack happens right now?"
"Most soldiers had left, only us at the command center were left. If there is a fight there are only a few of us who can do so. Thankfully, the marshal is here?"
"However, if the command center is truly attacked, who will be the target?"
"The marshal?"
"But... The other side should know that the last group of fighters is in the room. Would they risk their lives to do that?"
"If it’s undead there is no life to risk."
"Undead will be detected as long as it’s within the range of the radar, so it’s not acceptable to use them. If it were me, a human assassin would do the work."
"But would a single assassin be able to kill the lord marshal?"
"That sounds impossible. However, if it’s not the marshal but someone else they might be able to do so."
The more the marshal listens to the whispering, the more this bad feeling in his heart gets stronger. If there is someone that Pei Jin hates the most, it wasn’t himself but his son, Long Juedi. Though the reason for this hatred is unknown, all of his actions, most of them, lead to weakening the Long Clan. The moment the Long Clan weakens, Long Juedi will most likely suffer the most.
The marshal was thinking of all of the possibilities when a commotion was heard coming within the building. Moreover, the siren suddenly starts ringing as undeads are detected within the range.
"Marshal! Undeads are coming!"
"Someone check the situation in the building. The rest follow me to defend the tower!" Long Tian said.
Their numbers are nothing compared to the undeads coming to their place. There are at least hundreds of ordinary undead attacking from the front gate which were destroyed by their sheer numbers alone. The Marshal had to summon his beasts so he could fight with this many opponents. The other soldiers had summoned their beasts as well.
As for the commotion inside the building, it seems that a civilian was hiding the fact that he was scratched by an undead and mutated. He is now attacking anyone inside the building as long as they are a living person. The soldiers who split from the marshal had taken care of the situation but a lot of the survivors had been bitten. Those who had been bitten turned into undead on the spot while those who were scratched would take time to mutate.
In the end, they had no other choice but to isolate the source of undead and burned the whole area after the soldiers had locked them in. There is no medicine on how to prevent one from turning into an undead, that’s the survivors were checked for injuries and such. Who would have thought one of them would slip in and cause this tragedy.
Meanwhile in the North Region...
The beastmen leader, Huzi, had just sent back the support from the military after learning about the undead lord. However, he had found this undead leader the moment that Undead Warrior had first appeared. That’s why he had sent that message to the command center. We were just about to be done with dealing with the undead lord when the support came. He had already given his instructions to his people and sent back the soldiers.
Now, he just defeated the Undead Lord stepping on this intelligent evil creature’s head.
"These undead lords are simply bait to get the soldiers out of the command center. How can that human marshal be useless to send out all his people. Can he even protect the survivors with little people on his side," The ninetailed fox beastmen, Huzi said.
A beastman said, "Lord Heri said that tragedy would take place but it might or might not be stopped. Everything is within the whims of God."
"Leader, do you think the god Lord Heri is talking about our Beast God?" Another beastman asked.
Huzi, who knew more about divinities stronger than his husband said, "Even though Min is a Beast God, he couldn’t revive the dead. Heri’s prophecy includes deaths which we cannot change. That’s why I didn’t tell this prophecy to that marshal."
"Haha~ death for you... living beings cannot... be avoided. My master... is about to cause... bloodshed to where... those humans are... hiding. It’s... too late... even if you... want to save... them~" The undead lord under Huzi’s foot spoke.
Huzi’s indifferent eyes landed on him and crushed his head before burning down all the corpses of the undead in the north. They had finally completed the clean up.
He said, "Clean up is complete. It’s time to return."
"Yes, Leader!" The beastmen responded collectively.

In the south region...
Xie Yun and Xie Hei worked together and defeated the undead lord. Though there are some losses among the soldiers that come to support them. They had done their best. After the clean up in the region was completed, they had taken a rest in the area while the others moved to burn down the bodies. This is to prevent the spreading of undead awakening.
There is no cure for those who were bitten and scratched by the undead. Xie Hei ordered the killing of those who were already infected. The soldiers who were infected knew their ending and were delighted with death without much pain. Their bodies were also burned down.
Of course, the sadness in the area cannot be easily ignored. The atmosphere is currently gloomy and too quiet.
A soldier suddenly received an emergency summon from the command center saying that the undead had surrounded the military compound.
"Pavilion Masters! A message comes saying that the command center is surrounded by undead and they lack soldiers to defend it."
"We need to hurry and come back, master!" Xie Yun said.
After all, regardless of his identity as a demonic beast, he had grown up surrounded by humans and under the care and protection of the old marshal who had hidden the fact that he was not human.
Xie Hei, on the other hand is detached from the humans, as he reincarnated as a beast, said, "Alright! But only because you asked me to."
"Alright! We are going back. Head to the military compound!" Xie Hei commanded. "Make sure that all bodies are burned down!"
After the clean up in the south was done, under the leadership of the two pavilion masters of the Killer Pavilion, this team had urgently headed back to the command center.
On the other hand, in the east...
Mu Liao who was fighting the undead seems to be badly wounded and the undead was only half injured. Now the mercenaries under his command had sacrificed themselves just to bring him to safety. The soldiers were also doing their best to protect the leader even if they had to use their bodies to block them.
"Fuck! This is not an undead lord at all. The others got undead lords, why do we have to get an undead king!"
