Chapter 422 - The Prince And The Commander
Jinhua City was set ablaze, the fire engulfed the city and illuminated the surroundings.
Inside the city, a red armored man stepped on a zombie with deep blue armor.
King Rudin looked up, but the opposite party had their faces covered in red helmets. Only the gleaming murderous gazes could be seen from the helmet.
"W-who a-are you guys?" King Rudin managed to utter the question under the humiliation he suffered. Yes, the one who got stepped down was King Rudin, the King of the Dacian Kingdom.
"A filthy undead wants to know us!?" Cynical sneer entered King Rudin's ears. Anger filled him, if not all his limbs were gone, he would rush and fight. But he was not in the position to do that.
The red armored knight was about to pull his sword to kill King Rudin, but another red armored knight came, holding the man's hand.
"He's the leader of the undead. You can't kill him, we need more information about this world from this undead!" It was a woman's voice. The voice was cold and commanding.
"Who cares about that? This world just experienced the game for a few months. You should know already! They are too weak for us, we could easily dominate this world!" The man arrogantly claimed as he shoved the hand away.
King Rudin never expected his life would be spared. He had expected he would be killed, there was no fear in him.
"There are many things we can get from this undead. The official city locations for example. This undead has three cities under his banner, we should extract this information from him so as not to waste our time looking at the cities!" The female moved forward and pushed the man further from King Rudin.
Her movement was swift and smooth as the red armored man was easily pushed back. From such a simple exchange, King Rudin was well aware that the female was even stronger compared to the man who defeated him.
'Who are they? Where do they come from? How can they be this strong already?' Those three questions lingered in King Rudin's head. Of course, he knew that he could never satisfy his curiosity. His fate was sealed the moment his limbs stopped regrowing.
"You dare to push this Prince!" The red armored man sheathed his sword in fury while the female knight was composed.
"You are, but no longer a Prince now! You are! A soldier of mine! I can! Do anything to you!" The words spoke out coldly with a strong stance.
The knuckle cracked could be heard, but then the Prince turned around, leaving King Biron and the female knight alone.
"Undead, heed my words! Do you want to die painless or have a painful death!" The female knight gazed at him.
King Biron finally realized that the woman was not just a higher ranking in the army than the prince, but she was also far stronger than the Prince. He could tell that just by exchanging gazes, the deep blue eyes as if could see through into his soul.
"We undead could not feel pain, I wonder how you are going to give me a painful death?" King Rudin's voice was calm. He had overcome the fear of dying in front of the death door. Also, he was not trying to buy time or even challenging the female knight. That was just pure curiosity because he did not feel any pain even with all his limbs gone.
"Oh, Ignorance Undead. Even if your physical body could not feel pain, but your soul does! Do you want to try the taste of pain?" Her cold voice was a wake-up call for King Rudin. The latter was alarmed when the opposite party mentioned his soul.
"We don't have much time, make your decision!" The female knight urged King Rudin.
King Rudin let out a sigh, "Ask away, I will answer if it is something I know," the King had given up as he closed his eyes.
The female knight asked the other three cities where King Rudin's remaining armies were. King Rudin replied honestly. He never cared about his armies, the tool for his conquest journey. His conquest journey had come to an end so they should accompany in death too.
After getting the information, the female knight asked about this world, "Earth, and the population is dominated by humans, but no longer I guess. I am pretty sure we, the Undead, already take down more than half of the human population.
"I seeā¦" The female knight nodded his head, "From these three, the Daian Kingdom, Tang Empire, and Bombyx Mori Tribe. Which one is stronger than your kingdom?"
"Bombyx Mori Tribe should be weaker than us and the Daian King should hold the same power as us. However, this is my first time knowing about this Tang Empire. I never heard of this force before."
King Rudin answered honestly. There was no point in lying. In fact, his last desire was for King Biron to suffer the same fate as him and his kingdom. He wanted the other kingdom to be brought down to accompany him.
"I see," the female knight nodded, and a momentary silence followed up.
'Empire? Are they also a foreign force from another world? If so, we need to be careful,' the female knight thought to himself as she opened the Territory War Game interface.
The Tang Empire had taken over two cities. The Empire was ahead of them. The Empire was a force they could not underestimate, for sure. The decision not to kill King Rudin was the right choice so they could take precautions against the empire.
"Before you kill me, can you satisfy one of my curiosities?" King Rudin knew that the time had come, but he wanted to know something.
The female knight lowered her gaze to the undead, "Ask away!"
"Who are you and where do you come from? You are not a resident of this world, right?" That was what King Rudin wanted to know.
"Since you will die anyway, I will satisfy your curiosity! Yes, I am not a resident of this world. We are an army of the Lionax Kingdom of Lukan!" The female knight answered.
King Rudin closed his eyes, "Thanks, you can kill me now!"
The female knight flicked her finger, a drop of fire fell onto King Rudin's head. As soon as the fire touched King Rudin's skin, the fire spread and burned the whole body into crisp.
After that, the female knight rejoined with her soldiers at the building where the city's Steele was. As she entered the building, eleven people were waiting for her.
The Prince was there. His gaze was full of hostility at her, but she ignored the cocky Prince.
"Captain Fer!" She called a name and a red armored knight stepped forward, "I am at your command, Commander!" The knight put his right hand on the chest and bowed toward the woman.
"You will lead your unit to the south, Wenzhou city! Your objective is to capture the city from the undead!" The female commander ordered.
"Captain Dean!" She called the second name. Another man came forward and repeated the salute.
The female general directed her subordinates to another city where King Rudin told her.
The three units were set out to conquer the other three cities. Since the enemy was just an undead, she was confident by sending a unit to each city.
'The problem is the empire. From what the undead said, the Empire should be clashing against the Daian Kingdom on the west side of this city. Far from the city of course,' She tapped her index finger against the armor. No one spoke but just the sound of her tapping sound.
'Should we come for them or should we hold our ground and let them come to us?' The female general was contemplating. She did not bring the special unit to scout as the plan was to set up the base before they could come with them.
Also, thanks to the game, the portal that connected Earth and Lukan was disabled temporarily because of the Territory War Game. She could not ask for reinforcement even if she wanted to.
"Is there something that bothers you, Commander Ashley?" A captain stepped forward and decided to ask.
"I suspected that there's another force that is not the native of this world. I am thinking about what we should do next as they are not something we can underestimate like the undead," Commander Ashley did not hide her thoughts. She shared the issue with her subordinates.
"Check the game interface. The Empire has conquered two cities. They are ahead of us," she pointed out another fact that her subordinates were not aware of.
"What are you worried about? We just kill them! There is no need to be worried about it! Have you forgotten that this world is just a few months old? There's no way there's another foreign force aside from us!" The Prince was the first one to talk after they heard about the empire.
Commander Ashley glanced toward the Prince, "That's why I am in charge of the expedition instead of you! You are brash and sloppy, you will bring this battalion to its doom with your attitude!"
"Shut up, b*tch!" The Prince was about to pull his sword, but he immediately looked away from Commander Ashley and stormed out.
"Wade! Reed! Follow me! We will be hunting!" He called two names before storming out of the building.
"Rather than hunting aimlessly, go to the southwest! There's a city. You can conquer the city if you have spare time!" Commander Ashley said loudly.
Weed and Reed looked toward the commander. Under the commander's consent, Wade and Reed followed the Prince.
