Chapter 53: Katze Plains

Near the Katze Plains, a group of adventurers was moving forward. The team consisted of seven people.

"Captain, after we complete this mission, we should be able to upgrade to Iron Rank, right?"

"Of course! Our goal is to reach Adamantite Rank."

"I heard that recently, two Adamantite Rank adventurer teams appeared in E-Rantel, and their strength is quite formidable."

"I know one of those Adamantite Rank adventurers. Her name is Yulia. During the undead siege, she even saved me on the city wall!"

"Captain, she even specifically saved you. Doesn't that mean she really sees potential in your future? Maybe she even likes you... Ouch!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The captain slapped a young boy on the head.

"Lady Yulia didn't just save me; there were at least hundreds of people saved. And don't speak ill of Lady Yulia. She is a divine being, like an angel. It is an honor to be saved by her."

"Captain, why did we name our team 'Heart of the Knight'?"

"Because I want to become a knight who guards Lady Yulia. That is my current dream."

"Then you must really like Lady Yulia, huh!"

"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly be worthy of such a great person? Being able to become her knight, even her servant, I would be willing. As long as I can see her every day, I would already be completely satisfied."

"Is Lady Yulia really that amazing? If I get the chance, I must meet her someday."

The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at the Katze Plains. They had come to the Katze Plains to complete a task from the Adventurers' Guild: hunting the undead.

However, when they arrived at the Katze Plains, they found only a few scattered skeleton soldiers, around 30-40 in number.

"Captain, this doesn't seem to match the mission description. The number of skeletons is pitifully low."

"Perhaps it's because the last time they were cleaned up too thoroughly, so the number of undead this time is quite low."

"Stop overthinking it. Let's quickly deal with these undead. This place feels so eerie, even during the day."

"Got it, Captain." The young man picked up his sword and killed a low-ranking skeleton soldier, which was unarmed and lacked clothing.

After the skeleton soldiers were attacked, the surrounding skeletons noticed the adventurer team and began to surround them. Six skeleton soldiers encircled the team captain.

"Kid, watch closely. This strike will be really cool."

Martial Art

With one swing, the captain killed the six skeleton soldiers.

"So cool! Captain, how did you learn that move?"

"I realized it during the undead siege when I was reborn after the battle. I owe it all to Lady Yulia. Without her, I wouldn't be as strong as I am now."

Soon, the skeleton soldiers were wiped out by the adventurer team.

"Captain, there's one skeleton soldier that escaped!"

The group looked over, and it was a skeleton soldier holding a spear. When the skeleton noticed that everyone was looking at it,

Without hesitation, it dropped the spear in its hand and fled.

"The skeleton soldier actually ran away. Chase after it! Don't let it escape. It must be something special. If we turn it in to the Adventurers' Guild, we might get a special reward."

The skeleton soldier's speed was no match for the adventurer team, and it was quickly about to be caught.

At that moment, it suddenly stopped running, and many more skeleton soldiers appeared out of the ground, surrounding the adventurer team.

"These undead... they actually buried themselves in the ground to hide," the captain observed how these undead had appeared.

"Captain, we're surrounded. What should we do?"

"Charge through with me!" The captain grabbed the large shield on his back and charged toward the oncoming skeleton soldiers.

The skeleton soldiers in front of the captain all held long spears and lined up, simultaneously thrusting their spears toward the captain.

Martial Art

The skeleton soldiers' spears hit the captain's shield, but the captain didn't budge even a step.

Martial Art

The captain swung his sword, and the sword light flashed. Only three skeleton soldiers were killed.

"Captain, save me!" The young man was being attacked by three skeleton soldiers with sword and shield. Every time he tried to counterattack, his strikes were blocked by the skeletons' shields.

The others were also in a bad situation, all surrounded. Each of them was facing three to four undead.

After the captain dealt with the few spear-wielding skeleton soldiers in front of him, he looked toward the young man's direction. He had already died under the skeleton soldiers' blades.

"No!!!"

"Damn undead!"

The captain angrily charged toward the skeleton soldier that had killed the young man.

"Die, bastard!"

The skeleton soldier was sliced in half with a single blow.

"Help!"

"Ah!"

"Nooo!"

The captain looked around, and all the other team members had been horribly killed.

The number of skeleton soldiers surrounding them was growing larger.

"For Lady Yulia, I cannot die here."

The captain placed his sword at his waist, grabbed his large shield with both hands, and charged toward the area where the skeletons were fewest.

He used his shield to knock down all the skeleton soldiers in front of him.

As he broke through the encirclement,

Hundreds of skeleton cavalry on skeletal horses were watching him from a distance.

On a small hill behind the skeleton cavalry, a Death Mage stood, watching him.

"How could this be? The Death Mage that attacked E-Rantel, how could he appear here? Didn't he die?!"

Under Iguva's command, a large number of skeleton cavalry charged toward the squad leader.

The squad leader had no power to resist.

"I really want to see Lady Yulia one more time..."

The squad leader, covered in wounds, fell.

Iguva walked over to the squad leader's corpse.

"Fifth-tier magic, Blood Sacrifice for the Undead."

The squad leader's body and blood were absorbed by the bones, and his entire form transformed into a skeleton. The color of the skeleton's bones was slightly darker, clearly indicating it was a higher-tier skeleton soldier.

........

"Guild Master, the adventurer team sent to the Katze Plains to deal with the undead still hasn't returned."

"This team's captain is a retired veteran who has participated in many wars. His combat experience is very rich. He also knows how to use the Martial Art and ."

"His strength is on par with Silver Rank, yet they still haven't returned."

"Send out a request and have thieves or scouts go to the Katze Plains to check on the situation!"

"Understood!"
