After Maxing out all Classes

Chapter 86: The undead army is here

TL: I’ve edited previous chapters. Hope my mistakes didn’t bother you guys much :’)

To the northwest of Westwind town, an official road winds its way to the Stone Canyon along the foot of the Black Pine Mountain Ranges.

On this road, a group of people from Stone Canyon were dragging their children and running away in panic. Their number is small, only about 30 people. A lot of people simply didn’t manage to escape.

Behind these more than 30 refugees was a large army of undead, who not only occupied the official road but also marched densely in the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road, and the huge army chased the more than 30 refugees. The picture is almost heart-stirring.

A skeleton archer bent its bow and shot an arrow at the townspeople who fled in front of him.
  The arrow darted through the air and hit a townsman in the thigh.

He fell to the ground, rolled twice, and then crawled desperately forward. However, the skeletons still caught up to him and stepped on his back with their bony feet.

The armed men at Westwind Town couldn’t bear the scene and covered their eyes with their hands.

When they finally moved their hands away, the army of the undead had already passed the place where the townsman had fallen, and they could only see a vast expanse of skeletons. They couldn’t even tell whether the townspeople were dead or alive.

The mayor of Westwind went up the wall and asked the hunter next to him loudly, "Can you figure out how many skeletons there are?"
  "No less than two thousand!"

The mayor immediately understood, "it is the army of the undead the adventurers saw. They have ruined Stone Canyon and are now coming to Westwind Town."

"Damn it! Go and call the priest and nun.”

"Those three adventurers are also powerful forces. Ask them to come as well."

"Is there any way to save the people from Stone Canyon?"
  "Go out on horses, get them on the horse and rush back."

"It's too dangerous!"

"No matter how dangerous it is, they can be saved."

There is always no shortage of kind and upright people in this world. Several good equestrian townspeople opened the town's gate, rushed out, galloped their horses on the official road, and rushed to the refugees. They stretched out their hands and put several women who could no longer run on their horses. Then they turned their horses and ran back to Westwind Town.

A skeleton archer behind them drew its bow, but the arrow was not strong enough and fell slightly behind the horse.

After several more rescues, the last of the more than 30 townspeople from Stone Canyon was finally rescued. Westwind Town quickly closed the town gate and blocked it with boulders. Hundreds of armed men were lined up on both sides of the town wall.

However, the skeleton army still hasn't taken true action in the first round. Soon, the no less than two thousand skeletons formed a formation of two arrows. Behind the formation, a necromancer in a cloak, riding a skeleton horse, looked at the wall of Westwind Town from a distance.

The army exuded dark magic, and an aura of fear stretched out, vaguely affecting their surroundings. The creatures in the forest had already run because of the aura of fear, and neither goblins nor ogres dared to poke their heads out.

"Sure enough, Westwind Town is the most populated town on the western border, and it looks the most decent." The necromancer murmured, "Prepared to defend the city? Jiejiejie. I'm not as stupid as number 32. He underestimated his enemy, so I’ll just slowly come and play with this town.”

While the necromancer stood in the distance looking at Westwind Town.

Robb, Little Yi, Gorda, Jike, Xuelu, and even Lillian came to the northwest corner of town.

As soon as Lillian arrived, she greeted the thirty refugees. Glancing at them, she immediately found an acquaintance in the crowd and hurriedly leaned over, "Uncle Johnny! Have you seen my aunt?"

The man known as Johnny was a sturdy middle-aged man. When he saw Lillian, he obviously froze. He didn't seem to expect to see Lillian here. Moreover, she was wearing a beautiful skirt, white stockings, and leather shoes, all clean. He looked at Lillian, who looked completely different from the last time he saw her, and said, "Didn't your aunt sell you to a slave merchant? "

"Yes, I was sold to Westwind Town to work in the chapel here." Lillian said quickly, "But that doesn't matter. Where's my aunt? Didn't she escape?"

Uncle Johnny turned pale and said, "I'm sorry! When… when I escaped, I saw your aunt's family surrounded by skeletons…."

Lillian cried "ah” and turned pale.

Uncle Johnny sighed, "Lillian, you… Even considering what your aunt did to you… you’re still worried about her? You are such a good girl. If your aunt were alive and saw the look on your face, she would have regretted what she had done to you.”

"Ooh." Lillian fell to her knees slowly, tears across her face, "although my aunt often beat me, she is my last relative."

Robb came over and gently touched the top of her head, "Don't cry! Am I not your relative? "

In the anime, as soon as the protagonist says this sentence, the recipient is moved, but in fact, such rough comfort is useless and doesn't help stop the girl's grief. She knelt on the ground, crying, tears sprinkling everywhere.

He asked some townsmen to take care of Lillian, and then he took Little Yi, the three adventurers, and the two mayors to the town wall and looked at the army of the undead from a distance.

All the townspeople who could fight in Westwind Town had stood neatly on the town wall. The refugees from White Birch Town also had to join, and dozens of hunters stood on the wall, all wielding their longbows.

However, although their positions were sturdy and ready, their eyes were full of fear. No one thought the battle could be won.

“It still feels like playing tower defense.” Robb angrily said, “The upper management have already tried their best to avoid this situation. They didn't even hesitate to make a spell using all the magic knowledge they had so that these undead don’t disturb the Kingdom of Gran or the Church of Light. As a result, these hollow-eyed bastards came here to disturb my lazy life.”

"Hmm? Father, what are you talking about? "The mayor of Westwind Town, who stood beside him, said, "You were speaking too silently. I didn't hear it clearly."

"It’s alright." Robb put on a serious face, "I'm just praying to the God of Light."

As the two were talking…

A voice was suddenly from outside the town. It turns out that it was the necromancer who had spoken, and he had used some sort of magic to spread his voice to the town using the two arrows formation. His gloomy voice seemed to come from all directions, "listen, people of Westwind and White Birch Town, you are surrounded. You don't have to fight to the death because our purpose is not to destroy and kill but to occupy and dominate. As long as you kill the priests and nuns in the city and swear allegiance to me, I will not kill you! "

As soon as these words came out, countless eyes were moved from the ground and locked onto Robb and Little Yi simultaneously.

Robb looked left, right, front, and back, then pointed at his nose, "Why are you targeting me?"
