Chapter 255 Experiment
"Do you think they are going to retreat after this? Besides, isn\'t it really worrying when they have undead and how they got their hand on those vile things," Juno muttered feeling uneasy after this whole incident.
"There\'s no mistake, it must be Andriya\'s work, if she really has that black matter with her, it\'s not impossible," Velian muttered and looked at Remi.
"Remi, do we have prisoners that are going to be sentenced to death?" Hearing Veljan\'s question, Remi looked at the lord of the territory only to see him nodding his head upside down.
"Good! Bring murders and rapists, I want to confirm something," Under Velian orders, Remi quickly ran in the direction of the prison to grab them, while others notice another wave of undead coming from the forest.
The land was already destroyed beyond expectation, so most of them fell into the huge pits.
After a few minutes, Remi came with some prisoners who were confused about what was happening, but Velian had no idea to wait.
He grabbed two of them by their collars and dropped them from the wall, without killing them but they suffered leg injuries because of how tall the kingdom\'s wall was.
"Master!" Lord muttered, but others didn\'t have any intention of helping them as they kept observing what Velian was doing.
"Ohh! As I thought, undead are attacking anyone with blood pumping in their bodies," Velian muttered.
He was how all the undead started walking in the direction of criminals, as soon as they felt their presence.
"What do you want to see brother?" Aiko normally would have felt disgusted by something like that, but right now she only felt admiration toward Velian.
She liked how he used the most despicable criminal instead of his soldiers, and she knew Velian won\'t take the life of his faithful soldiers like that.
Velian had a twisted smile on his face, his eyes fixed on two hapless criminals that were being thrown to a horde of undead below them.
One of his superior mages, a young wind magic user, spoke up hesitantly.
"Master, are you sure this is wise? Isn\'t this a little cruel even for prisoners like them?"
Velian turned his gaze to the mage, his eyes cold and calculating as soon as he heard those words from his mouth.
"What else do you suggest? Do you want me to use completely innocent soldiers for this? I\'m experimenting, and they were perfect for this,"
"Remi, tell this man, their crimes, and how their victims were killed," Velian muttered and sent his eyes back to the battlefield, while Juno, Aiko and Remi all three of them were frowning at the young mage, who questioned Velian.
Remi started explaining how wild and disgusting thr criminal charges of these people are sent the young mage on a guilt trip trying to stop what Velian was trying to do.
He came forward and apologised to him under the deadly stares of the girls, but Velian had no intention of holding any contempt, so he just nodded his head and decided to forget it.
As the two criminals were tossed down to the ground, their screams echoed throughout the empty land seeing the undead approaching them.
"Help me! Helpppp!," They kept shouting, but no one really felt bad for them, instead, they were curious about what was going to happen.
The horde of undead descended upon them, tearing them limb from limb and some of them even went as far as to tear their internal organs creating a gruesome scene.
Most of the soldiers averted their eyes, but people like Velian, Juno and Remikept looked with their eyes showing excitement to see what is going to happen to these two criminals.
Velian kept watching with a cruel fascination, eager to see whether his guess was true - that anyone who died by getting devoured by the undead would rise again as one of the undead.
But as the last of the criminals\' screams died away, Velian\'s twisted grin turned to a frown. There was no sign of reanimation. The undead simply moved on to their next victim, leaving behind only a pile of torn flesh and bones.
Velian\'s head mage slowly got close to him and touched his shoulder kike she was trying to get his attention.
"Master, what shall we do now?"
Velian thought for a moment, his eyes narrowing in frustration.
"Continue with the plan. We\'ll just have to find their source and destroy it, reinforce the all until we finish them."
As his minions and the head of the mage unit dispersed to carry out his orders, Velian remained on the wall, watching the horde below. He felt a sense of excitement building within him, he felt these events were full of mysteries, and he was determined to uncover them all, no matter the cost and capture Andriya, who might be the one responsible for all this.
And as he watched the undead roam the battlefield with their ugly bodies, he saw another until of undead coming out of the forest.
*Tsk
"How many are there? I\'m done with this, should I blow up the whole forest? But if I do that, things would get ugly for the people in future," Velian felt irritated that he couldn\'t kill all of them at the same time.
While he was thinking about all this, he noticed something strange. He noticed the next group of undead was not normal.
At first, he could see only dark shapes moving among the trees, but as they drew closer, Velian could make out the forms of undead monsters. They were grotesque and twisted, their limbs moving in unnatural ways as they shambled towards the wall.
"A new type of undead?" He questioned himself surprised.
But it was not just the monsters that made Velian confused. Behind them came a regiment of undead knights, their armour blackened and rusted, but still bearing the sigils of long-forgotten houses.
"Oh! They look totally different from this weakling undead," He noticed how they looked more like humans than corpses.
