Chapter 1151 - Chapter 1151 Chapter 699 Unraveling the Mystery in the Mist_1

Chapter 1151: Chapter 699: Unraveling the Mystery in the Mist_1 Chapter 1151: Chapter 699: Unraveling the Mystery in the Mist_1 In the vast square, countless figures stood densely packed.

This unusual sight prompted Leo Ray to look closely in astonishment.

Since they were standing on higher ground, they could see everything in the square below them.

Through the increasingly dense black fog, they could faintly make out these figures by their clothing.

The vast majority of these people were ordinary civilians of the city, with a small number clad in standard armor of the city soldiers and mercenaries with mixed equipment.

It was densely packed everywhere they looked, making it almost impossible to see the end.

Surrounding the square were clay soldiers and undead soldiers, their rotting bodies and white skeletons swathed in a terrifying black fog.

Seeing this scene, a bone-chilling coldness suddenly surged through Leo Ray’s heart.

If so many densely packed people were converted into the undead at once, the consequences were simply unimaginable.

With a trembling heart, Leo Ray continued to observe.

Oddly enough, those fighting against the front-most clay soldiers were not the entire defense army and mercenaries, but only a few scattered figures around the outer ring.

Leo Ray recognized these fighting figures.

They were the previously missing Joshua, Serena, Stella, Sean, and the other ten Pterosaur Knights, Earl Jenkins of the North City Storage Area defense battalion, two deputy commanders of the Battle Maid platoon, several Tier 3 mercenaries, and Woodward Brown, another Defense Army Battalion Commander responsible for the defense of the western city wall.

“Great, they’re all still alive.”

Seeing this scene, Leo Ray felt slightly relieved.

While feeling grateful, Leo Ray’s expression became puzzled again.

On the battlefield, except for Joshua who could purify several clay soldiers with each use of his Light magic, the others were merely futilely resisting their opponents’ attacks.

It was obvious that even the Tier 4 powerhouses Serena and Stella were unable to deal with these clay soldiers who ignored physical attacks.

Whether it was the sharp sword tips or the sharp arrows, they simply passed through the viscous clay bodies of the soldiers, causing almost no effective damage apart from bringing out some mud.

Moreover, the clay soldiers who were defeated by Joshua’s holy light would quickly revert to their original state with the rising black fog.

However, this was not the most crucial point.

The sparse defensive line formed by these twenty Tier 3 and above powerhouses surprisingly stopped the advancing hundreds of clay soldiers and the many more skeleton soldiers around them.

More accurately, the clay soldiers were toying with Joshua and the others, relying on their ability to ignore physical attacks and be infinitely reborn, without launching any fierce offensives. They just shouted and swaggered around without any fear.

“Why are the clay soldiers only restraining Joshua and the others without launching real attacks?”

“Why did Earl Jenkins, who was originally defending the North City Storage Area, and such a large crowd appear here together?”

“And why don’t the soldiers and mercenaries standing in the crowd join in the defense and just stand there stiffly?”

Looking at this extremely bizarre battlefield, a series of question marks popped up in Leo Ray’s mind.

“Lord, look! The huge crowd, including ordinary soldiers and mercenaries, is obviously weird!”

Scarlett’s surprised crisp voice entered Leo Ray’s ears, “Their bodies are stiff, but their faces are terrified. They seem to be in a state of inability to move, as if they’re imprisoned!”

“Oh?”

Following Scarlett’s words, Leo Ray looked closely once more and found that indeed, whether it was the civilians or ordinary soldiers, they were all bound by a faint layer of black fog, losing their ability to act.

“No wonder I found this scene so bizarre. Faced with the siege of the overwhelming clay soldiers and skeleton warriors, even ordinary soldiers would panic and cause disruption in their formation. However, these civilians and soldiers were just standing there stiffly, so it’s because they were unable to move freely.”

“Since they cannot move, the ordinary soldiers and mercenaries naturally cannot participate in the defense.”

Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully, muttering to himself, “Judging from the present situation, this imprisonment seems to only be effective against targets under Tier 2.”

“Lord, it’s not just an imprisonment, but a special kind of control!”

Lina’s shocked voice followed, “The Nightmare Knight has obviously modified the Domain of Absolute Death, adding the effect of controlling low-ranking targets within the range of the domain!”

“Control? Now it all makes sense. It seems that the entire population of the West District and the surrounding soldiers, both civilian and military, were forcefully gathered by the Nightmare Knight.”

Understanding dawned on Leo Ray’s face as he pondered, “In this case, the mystery of how Earl Jenkins and the others mysteriously disappeared from the North Storage Area is also solved.”

At this thought, Leo Ray’s furrowed brow tightened even further as he pondered, “Since the Nightmare Knight has gathered the entire population of the West District and the surrounding soldiers, why hasn’t he taken any further action after imprisoning them?”
