Listening to the returning mber of the Knight Order, Kane walked over.
As soon as he saw Kane approaching, he imdiately saluted.
"Your Majesty."
"Tell about the situation you've observed. What specific dangers are there?"
The knight nodded.
"Our squad began scouting straight ahead, and about three kiloters from here, we discovered a fishing village."
"But as we approached the village, we slled a very strong stench of corpses. Upon getting closer, we found that the entire fishing village had been destroyed, with only many skeletons lying around."
"When our squad entered the village, the villagers' skeletons began to move. These corpses had beco undead, and due to sensing the presence of the living, they started to attack."
"For the purpose of gathering intelligence, we only killed a few undead before withdrawing from the village to conduct reconnaissance around it."
After listening to the knight's report, Kane nodded.
Then he pondered a bit and approached Kreya.
"Kreya, let's take a trip together."
After all, Kreya understood the rules of death and had so experience in manipulating the undead.
Perhaps she could discover so clues.
Upon hearing Kane's words, Kreya nodded.
Longbei, standing nearby, asked, "Is there sothing going on? Do you need us to join as well?"
"There is a situation, but it's not serious. Mainly, we're going to investigate so clues."
Upon hearing Kane's words, Longbei nodded and didn't say more.
If it's just looking into clues, then there was no need for him to go. That's not where he should be, nor is it his business.
Unless it's a fight, he preferred to stay in the camp and rest quietly.
The other mbers watched Kane and Kreya leave without questioning further, knowing that Kane wouldn't hesitate to ask for help if needed.
Then Kane and Kreya, following the Knight Order mber, headed towards the ntioned fishing village.
Once off the beach, a plain was revealed with only a few short shrubs and scattered trees standing around.
A narrow path stretched out from the seaside, likely leading to the fishing village.
Kane and Kreya, accompanied by the Lantern Knight Order, soon detected a faint foul sll in the distance.
It indeed was the stench of decaying corpses.
While walking, Kreya glanced around, saying, "You can definitely sense a faint presence of death elents in the air."
After walking a bit further, the odor of decay intensified, and they could see a small village in the distance.
It was bathed in the cold moonlight.
The Lantern Knights surrounding the village maintained a certain distance from it, careful not to disturb the undead within.
Upon seeing Kane and Kreya approach, the Lantern Knights nodded in acknowledgnt.
Shortly after, Abby stepped forward, leading the squad conducting the reconnaissance.
Looking at Abby, Kane asked directly, "What's the situation with this fishing village?"
Abby shook his head, "There are no living people, and from the signs of burning and combat, it seems the village was destroyed about a month ago."
However, they only scouted a bit during their battle within the village before retreating.
Abby was aware of Kreya's abilities and hoped she might gather so information.
If not, even these low-level undead, more insignificant than ordinary people, could be easily dealt with.
After listening to Abby's brief report, Kane nodded.
"If that's the case, let's go in together."
With that, Abby assembled all the surrounding knights.
A total of ten Lantern Knights followed Kane and Kreya into the village.
Even before entering, they saw two decaying corpses wandering at the entrance.
They were still dressed in the tattered clothes the villagers used to wear.
The clothes were shredded and hardly recognizable, with only so fabric scraps clinging to their bodies.
The fluids and sli seeping from their bodies adhered to the rags, preventing them from falling to the ground.
These two undead had likely been disturbed by Abby and his team but, after failing to find their target, were now wandering aimlessly nearby.
Only after so ti without sensing the presence of the living would they find a dark place to resu their rest.
Observing the two undead, Kane turned his head, giving Kreya a slight nod.
Kreya nodded in response.
Soon a cluster of flas, black and white, appeared in her hand, and with a wave from Kreya,
the black and white flas split into two, shooting out like arrows.
In an instant, they struck the two corpses.
The burning black and white flas quickly enveloped and incinerated them.
Before long, the entire corpses were dried and solidified.
The undead from those decaying corpses were just the lowest level of Walking Dead.
Their combat power was on par with the most ordinary skeletons.
They were not the lowest combat force because, though their attacks were slow, if they hit, they could easily cause toxic infections to enemies.
While ordinary skeletons are fragile, they at least move normally.
Both are equally matched.
After being burned by Kreya's black and white flas, the Walking Dead were directly elevated to the next level of zombies.
Like ordinary skeletons upgrading to various professional skeletons.
Like skeleton archers and skeleton soldiers.
In essence, there's no change, but in reality, the improvent is substantial.
At least there's not much difference from the power they display.
The black and white flas burning on them elevate their power to another dinsion, but also bring them under Kreya's control.
Kreya closed her eyes and began to feel the fragnted mories of these two undead.
The reason undead beco undead is that when they die, if their soul hasn't completely dissipated, so fragnts of the soul remain in the body.
Through so magical thods, the body is made to move, transforming into the undead.
This is the origin of the most basic and lowest-level undead.
And naturally, necromancers and those with similar abilities can control the undead to detect their soul fragnts.
After watching those fragnted pieces for a mont, Kreya opened her eyes.
"The information revealed is very limited. The status of these two walking dead during their lives was probably just ordinary fishern.
What we do know is that, for so unknown reason, an undead catastrophe broke out in the village in the middle of the night, and they were joyfully surprised by the commotion outside, then they were killed."
Indeed, not very aningful information.
"Let's continue."
Saying this, they proceeded directly into the village.
It's like crossing so infrared tripwire.
As soon as they set foot in the village, it was like an alarm went off.
Throughout the village, from every shady spot, the lying corpses started to rise.
They gathered, approaching Kane and his group.
They emitted aningless roars, thrusting out their arms in claw-like gestures, staggering as they rushed forward.
Faced with such a situation, Kane and his group were not the least bit panicked.
If there was any threat to them in this village, it might just be the thick sll of decay in the air.
This had quite an effect on Kane's spirit, the scent was indeed too overwhelming.
Moreover, Kane could sense that the power of these walking dead barely reached the level of Copper Power; after all, before becoming undead, they were just ordinary people.
The evaluation of Copper Power was very reluctant, rely because so death elents remaining within them allowed them to move.
The combat power of these undead was likely still inferior to ordinary people.
Of course, this assud that ordinary people wouldn't succumb to fear; under normal circumstances, they could handle one or two.
Yet fear is always the most dangerous issue.
This ti, Kreya did not ignite black and white flas in her hands, but instead, the hooves at the front began to blaze with black and white flas.
Then Kreya stood up and stamped firmly on the ground.
The flas rippled from the ground, spreading outward.
Passing under the feet of the Lantern Knight Order mbers and Kane, they felt nothing.
However, once touching the approaching walking dead, the flas quickly spread over their bodies and in just a few seconds, began to blaze fiercely.
After enveloping their whole bodies, in just one or two seconds, these walking dead beca like the earlier two, transford into dried zombie forms.
Then various mory fragnts awaited Kreya to examine and extract useful information.
The multitude of mory fragnts to search through caused Kreya to close her eyes, needing to carefully peruse.
And the burning black and white fla zombies throughout the village couldn't stand against it, all falling under Kreya's control.
Kane counted the number of undead.
He then roughly assessed the area of the entire fishing village.
The number was obviously reduced.
These walking dead undead were probably only a portion of the village's forr population.
Not even half.
At this mont, Kreya opened her eyes.
She roughly knew the entire process of how this fishing village t its demise.
"About a month ago, one night, a rather powerful undead creature passed through this fishing village, transforming so of the drunken n into undead."
"Subsequently, these drunkards began an indiscriminate attack on everyone in the village, and so dead bodies rewakened as walking dead."
"It took less than a single night for the entire village to be destroyed.
But not everyone died inside; more than half managed to flee under the escort of so robust youth."
After listening to Kreya, Kane nodded.
This ant this condition of the fishing village was deliberate.
There wasn't much else to investigate within the village.
Kreya waved her hand, burning all the undead to ashes, then threw another black and white fla into the remaining village houses.
Quickly, the entire village was engulfed in flas.
Of course, the flas used here were normal flas, thanks to Kreya's mastery of burning-related rules, using ordinary flas presented no problem.
After confirming nothing was omitted.
Then everyone returned to the beach vicinity.
At this ti, all mbers of the knight order had returned.
No dangerous situation was found.
Kane sat by the bonfire, lost in thought.
Was it a coincidence?
Encountering an undead-related event as soon as they landed.
