"Your Majesty... I am free."
A mental message flashed across the network, and Keomi suddenly stopped, halting halfway to the castle.
He looked back towards the port, where heavy artillery fire had engulfed the area in flames, and he could almost hear the distant cries of agony.
“Smile…” Keomi touched his chest, feeling a piercing pain.
His thoughts drifted back to the past, to the time when he once again bestowed names upon the zombies.
I explained to them time and time again the importance of their names, that they are the key to their freedom and the crucial element for self-discovery.
“Smile, Your Majesty, what does this mean?” Smile asked Keomi.
The wind blew across the plains, tossing Keomi's unkempt hair as his hand paused on the moment of distributing weapons to the various guards.
"Smile, just as the name suggests, I hope that you who bear this name can remain optimistic and confident."
"I don't understand, King. Were there smiling zombies before this?" Smiling asked. He had seen many zombies called Smiling follow Keomi when he was an ordinary zombie.
“Yes, you are the new smile,” Keomi replied patiently.
"Then... what about the last smile?" Smile asked, puzzled.
“They died in battle, they sacrificed their lives for the continuation of their race. I gave you this name in the hope that you will find the meaning of your existence…” After a slight sadness, Keomi rallied.
And now...
"My king, I am free..."
The collapse of the small mental network, and the mental fluctuation that he had highlighted, the last message.
The entire mental network fell silent in an instant, one mental fluctuation after another dissipated, and the surviving blue-eyed zombies looked at the message with tears in their eyes.
Another smile, and she's dead...
The bombing seemed to have stopped...
A shattered port, the eerie smell of charred corpses, and clumps of broken blood.
"Captain, it seems we've hit friendly forces!"
"Shut up! I can see!" Jessie kicked away the henchman next to her.
He stared at the battlefield in disbelief, but could only attribute it to coincidence.
"Thank goodness, all the enemies are dead..."
Jesse touched his chest, but the next moment, he felt uneasy. What was going on?!
"Roar—!!!!" A furious roar came from the castle, like the roar of a bone dragon from the land of the dead.
He actually felt his ghostly form beginning to collapse! That roar was aimed at his soul!?
Damn it!
Jessie was thankful that she was far enough away from the source of the roar, otherwise she would have been killed instantly!
"Captain! Captain!!! They've moved!!!" The sailors suddenly panicked.
"What moved?" Jesse grabbed the binoculars, and what he saw next shocked him.
All the corpses in the port struggled to their feet, and the broken pieces of flesh reformed and stood up.
They opened their red eyes and stared at Jessie with hatred.
"You bastard!"
"There must be over a thousand people here, right?"
"Shut up!" Jessie roared. "Load the shells!"
“No, Captain! Some of the Ghost sailors were killed by the roar, and we can’t reload quickly!” the Ghost First Mate pleaded humbly.
"Where are the props? Oh! Damn it! We didn't bring any props!" Jessie Lai was in a terrible headache. Damn it, he actually thought he could conquer everything with his giant ship!
Now, everything depends on the boss...
The red-eyed zombies withdrew their gaze and rushed towards the castle.
...
"No way!"
"Smile!"
The madman dragged half his body out of the pile of corpses. He looked at the devastated battlefield, the flattened port, and the raging red flames.
Even the night rain cannot extinguish it!
"I survived, but not for long..."
"roar--!!!!"
A distant roar jolted the madman from his semi-conscious state—it was the roar of a king! Had he used that power?
The power to free the dead from their bonds!
Sure enough, the entire port began to shake, and the corpses rose again. They glanced at the port and then surged frantically toward the castle.
Yes! Wang is almost there!
"The king needs me. He smiled because he was willing to die for me. He knew that in that situation, I would have a greater advantage if I stayed alive!"
"yes!"
“That’s right…” The madman’s eyes flashed, and he opened his mouth and roared as well.
The enchanted warriors he had killed earlier also stood up, their red eyes fixed on the madman.
"Go help the king...go..." The madman collapsed after exhausting his last bit of strength.
The wound has no strength left to heal. Yes, it's time to end this. I'm exhausted...
He lay on the ground, watching the red-eyed zombies rudely trample over his body, and he smiled.
Rain fell on his dull blue eyes, and the birds in the sky finally decided to give up resisting the rain and fall down. The madman silently placed his hand on his chest.
"My king, I am free."
...
Stairs, endless stairs...
With his longsword in his right hand, Keomi walked up the long steps toward the castle, while the red-eyed zombies around him rushed forward to get closer.
They charged up from both sides of Keomi, some using all four limbs, others as if they had just learned to walk.
Unlike the blue-eyed zombies, they are driven almost entirely by instinct and are unable to connect to the mental network.
Ordinary blue-eyed zombies can control a small number of red-eyed zombies; their mental fluctuations are the most unique means of control.
Among the elite blue-eyed zombies, some can control an unlimited number of red-eyed zombies, which strengthens the red-eyed tactic and greatly reduces the losses of blue-eyed zombies.
Every blue-eyed zombie mutates from a red-eyed zombie, a probability that is extremely low. However, it is worth mentioning that zombies that are close to the enemy will be the first to transform into blue-eyed zombies.
Could it be considered a reinfection?
In short, every blue-eyed zombie is a huge asset to the Keomi race, and their analytical abilities can, to some extent, allow them to control a region and become king!
"Guards! Stop them!!!"
On the castle, dozens of fully armed enchanted knights charged forward, wielding battle axes, their strikes igniting inextinguishable flames.
The red-eyed zombies couldn't even break through their defenses!
"..." Keomi stared in the direction of the castle, where a person was staring straight at him.
The figure was surrounded by many enchanted guards, and they looked to be even more elite.
"Is this your confidence, Crystal Crown? You will die because of your arrogance!" The blue light in Keomi's eyes flashed like a blinding red sun!
You will regret being my enemy!
The zombies were uneasy, and the enchanted guards were also losing their footing in the violent shaking.
The long staircase shattered inch by inch, and the figure on the castle silently used a large number of scrolls to increase his defense.
"It's useless. Under natural disasters, all the extraordinary are just ordinary..."
"earthquake!!!"
