Chapter 940

Anthony led the undead army walking in the night and soon approached Highland City.

Highland means hillside. This is the place with the highest terrain nearby. After being washed by water, natural gullies were formed. The bottom of the gully to the slope naturally became a wall, defending from a high position, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

So this settlement was named Highland City, the only one of the four settlements with a name.

However, the highland has the disadvantages of the highland. The terrain is uneven, water intake is difficult, and soil erosion is serious, which is not suitable for planting things, so its population is the smallest.

But after the Light Alliance withdrew, everything changed. Safety was put as the first priority, and residents of other settlements kept fleeing here.

Coupled with the fact that Highland City originally had a granary and sufficient food, the population here increased crazily, gathering nearly ten thousand people, the only settlement that still maintained order.

This news was searched by Anthony from the memory of the leader of the settlement in the east. That leader has now turned into a zombie, moving behind the team. The other party once tried to attack Highland City to grab food and people, but was soon beaten back, not even getting up the slope.

However, Anthony was still a little worried. A month has passed. He knows too well what kind of disaster the chaos after such a drastic change will cause. The previous settlement was a very tragic example.

Just as he was thinking, there was suddenly some movement in front. Anthony looked and saw a figure appearing on the ridge in front, looking far away in this direction.

Eh? Is there a sentry? This is a good phenomenon. Having the spare energy to send a sentry means that the organizational structure is still maintained. With organization, it will not be too chaotic, and some tragic things can be avoided.

Of course, if the leader is a brutal person, it will fall into another more tragic state—organized chaos, but this situation is too rare and unlikely to appear in such a place in a short time.

Anthony hurriedly let the undead creatures stop and walked up quickly. After walking a long distance, the person on the opposite side was startled and quickly lay on the ground.

It turns out that the other party stood up swaggeringly, not because of boldness, but because they couldn't see anyone and thought others couldn't see them either.

Anthony hurriedly greeted: "Hello, friend in front, I am from the settlement in the east. Do you have anything to eat?"

The person on the opposite side stood up again and shouted: "Stop, I'll go call someone, you wait a moment." Then he turned and ran back.

Anthony muttered in surprise: "Single sentry?"

Anthony walked to the slope. Sure enough, it was a single sentry. Except for the sentry just now, there was no one else. There should be no hidden sentry, otherwise, it would not be able to hide from Anthony's perception.

This is really laughable. Is it too amateurish? Without open and hidden sentries, there should at least be double sentries, otherwise, if one goes back to report, this sentry position will be useless.

Probably because they have never encountered a situation that requires reporting back in the middle of the night, let alone encountered a professional sneak attack.

Not long after, five figures ran down from the slope from afar. Seeing Anthony from afar, they shouted: "Are you from the east? How did you come over? How is the situation on your side?"

When these people walked closer, Anthony frowned. They were all swordsmen, and they were Chaos Power swordsmen.

Having been here for several days, Anthony figured out what was special about the people here. Almost all humans are born with Chaos Power, and their strength is very powerful.

I heard that even His Majesty suffered a loss here. As for what kind of loss, Negris didn't say, just rubbed his index finger and middle finger in front of him, making a gesture of a treacherous merchant.

Anthony didn't pursue the question as it wished. It's enough to know that His Majesty suffered a loss. Knowing it in too much detail is not good. Besides satisfying his curiosity, it has no other meaning, and might even make His Majesty angry from shame.

Negris is the one who can't figure this out, but it doesn't need to figure it out anymore. With Ang covering it and His Majesty doting on it, it just gives up.

Although he knew His Majesty suffered a loss, which made him mentally prepared, he was still scared in the eastern settlement in the afternoon. Even the most basic Chaos Power swordsman had the ability to break his defense. The air blade slashed by Chaos Power could not be resisted by his defense.

If it were a swordsman from the Chaos Plane, the junior and intermediate swordsmen could no longer break his defense, and he could stand there and let them slash without moving.

This is the biggest difference between the swordsmen of the two places. However, their martial arts are equally bad, so Anthony picked up his long-unused martial arts and smashed them all to death like chopping melons and vegetables.

The four in front are also Chaos Power swordsmen, but their aura is much stronger than those guys in the eastern settlement. It is estimated that they all have the level of senior swordsmen, and they move in an orderly manner, always centering on the leading swordsman. Whether advancing or retreating, they are at ease, obviously used to cooperation.

Anthony responded: "We were beaten by people on an airship there. In the afternoon, an airship suddenly landed on the farm outside, and then a team of people rushed in, slashing and killing, grabbing all the food, and then left. We have no food, so we came over to see if you can take us in?"

"How many people do you have?" The five people on the opposite side finally arrived at the ridge, looking at Anthony while asking.

Anthony shook his head: "I don't know. We ran over in a rush. I don't know how many people there are. Afraid of causing misunderstanding, they all stayed below and let me come up to report."

"You are tender-skinned and tender-fleshed, you don't look like someone who has suffered or been hungry. You haven't eaten that thing, have you?" The leading swordsman stared at Anthony.

Anthony naturally understood what "that thing" he was talking about was, and hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I haven't eaten it, absolutely not."

"Don't lie. If you have eaten it, the ghost can smell it. Don't move, stand still." While saying this, the leading swordsman took out a box. After opening it, a ghost floated up: "Don't move, let the ghost smell it. If you haven't eaten it, we will take you in."

Anthony curiously examined the ghost. Strangely, there was a faint aura of Chaos Mist on this ghost.

The ghost floated over, smelled Anthony, and then immediately screamed and floated back, *whoosh*, and darted back into the box.

*Clang clang clang*—everyone drew their long swords and looked at the leading swordsman in confusion. The leading swordsman was also confused, looking at the box and asking: "What's wrong with the ghost?"

A message came from the box: Afraid...

"What does it mean? What is the ghost afraid of? This reaction is wrong. Is this eaten or not?" The leading swordsman said blankly.

Only Anthony knew what the ghost was afraid of. It was afraid of holy light. Just as he was about to say something, a roar suddenly came from behind: "Idiot, he is playing with you. The ones under the mountain are not living people, they are all undead creatures."

Anthony turned his head and was shocked. He saw the undead creatures staying under the mountain, without his command, actually surging up like a tide. In this "tide", a cloud of smoke slowly floated up.

A face appeared in the smoke, and the mouth was opening and closing there. Obviously, the one who scolded "idiot" was him, and he also snatched Anthony's control over the undead creatures, commanding those undead creatures to rush towards Anthony.

However, these were not the most shocking things. What shocked Anthony the most was that this cloud of smoke was actually purple: "Mourning Undead? Lord, save me!"
