Chapter 850: Chapter 846: Expanding the Dead Knight Corps

"Then I will come to find you this afternoon."

Upon hearing Hatred’s words, Li Qingtian turned around and left without any hesitation.

However, Hatred didn’t say anything and also turned to leave.

That afternoon, Li Qingtian arrived as promised. As soon as she found Hatred, he had all the necessary procedures ready for her.

After everything was done, Li Qingtian asked Hatred, "Where will I find the Marshal?"

"In the office on the ninth floor of Peace Plaza, the Marshal is usually there. You can go find him."

Li Qingtian looked at the code in her hand, nodded, and without further conversation, took her things and headed towards the tallest building in the United District.

But when she got there, she was stopped by several soldiers.

"What are you doing?" Li Qingtian asked with a puzzled face. Now that she was a member of the Peace Party, why were they blocking her?

Li Qingtian was not panicked, however; she whipped out her code, which left the group of soldiers speechless.

"What’s the issue?"

"I am with the Peace Party," Li Qingtian said, not understanding their behavior, which made her look somewhat naive and cute.

"Yes, we know, but what do you want?"

"To go inside, is that not allowed?" Li Qingtian asked, puzzled.

The soldiers shook their heads.

"You’re new here, right? Inside are the important figures of the Peace Party; it’s not a place that just anyone can enter."

"This..."

Li Qingtian furrowed her brow; she had not expected such a result, having thought that becoming a member of the Peace Party would allow her to enter freely.

"Then how can I get in?"

"Well..."

The soldier scratched his head, at a loss for words.

"Let me put it simply for you: first, if someone inside specifies you for a matter that needs consultation or handling, then you can go in. Second, if you hold a certain position inside, then you can move in and out freely."

"Why is it so troublesome?" Li Qingtian’s brow had now furrowed into the shape of the "Chuan" character.

"Indeed, he’s right; the important members of the Peace Party are inside. How can a new member like you enter at will?"

At that moment, Hatred approached. Li Qingtian squinted at him.

"Could you take me inside later?" she asked.

Hatred shook his head: "I don’t have that much time. Maybe you can wait for him here."

Li Qingtian’s eyes flashed, and she calmly said, "I believe my request is very simple for you, but I am not satisfied."

"But I have already completed it."

"Could you do me another favor?"

"No, this was your one opportunity, and it came from your mouth without coercion from anyone. I have completed it perfectly, so there’s no chance of going back or doing it over."

"Oh, all right then."

Li Qingtian felt helpless, but what Hatred said wasn’t wrong. Everything resulted from her making a hasty decision without clear understanding. No one else was to blame.

"My demands are as if they don’t exist."

Li Qingtian shook her head, but Hatred had already walked far away. She did not leave, instead, she walked up the steps under the shade of trees, silently watching the soldiers coming and going at the entrance of the Peace Plaza. The Level 5 zombie that had followed her had disappeared at some unknown time.

Such a beautiful woman sitting there indeed provided the guarding soldiers with a delightful view, making their tedious work seem less boring.

As time ticked by and it reached seven in the evening, she stood up and vanished into the dimly lit streets, while the next shift of soldiers was destined to continue enduring the monotonous night.

Shortly after her departure, a horde of zombies appeared outside the seemingly endless defense wall of the United District. But these were not the kind that once lived in the homes of humanity, they were all beast zombies.

Beast zombies, in a long procession, ordered into ranks, let out deep, rumbling growls in the darkness, like soldiers on a night march. Behind them, the "herders" raised their voices in solemn song, leading them ever forward.

The sight of eight thousand Level 3 beast zombies moving en masse was soon noticed by the soldiers on the defense wall, causing all eyes to turn toward them instantly.

"We’ve got a situation!"

"A horde of zombies? Prepare for battle!"

"Wait, don’t panic, look closely, these beast zombies seem to be the mounts of the Death Knight Corps."

"Indeed, I heard the Death Knight Corps is expanding. It looks like this entire horde of beast zombies has been brought over."

"It’s nothing, everyone, don’t be alarmed, they’re the beast zombies of the Death Knight Corps."

"Oh, my goodness, all Level 3 zombies, and so many Level 4 zombies, this is defying the heavens."

"Look who’s behind them." At that moment, someone suddenly noticed there seemed to be two figures following the massive horde of beast zombies, and they called out, drawing everyone’s attention.

"Hey, it really is."

Someone grabbed a pair of binoculars and shouted, "It’s the Marshal and the Deputy Leader! Open the gates! There’s nothing wrong!"

"Yes, sir!"

On the officer’s word that it was the Marshal of the United District, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the giant iron doors of the defense wall were opened. All soldiers lined up in two neat rows outside, waiting in solemn anticipation.

As expected, as the massive horde of beast zombies approached the United District and saw the people, they did not rush forward to tear them apart in a frenzy. Instead, they lowered their heads and emitted low "heh heh heh" growls.

"Enter!"

Tang Ye yelled from behind, and the beast zombie horde tightened their formation, entering the United District in an organized manner.

"That’ll do, everyone. Carry on with your work. Just notify the Chen brothers to come over and sign for these," Tang Ye instructed after.

"Report to the Marshal, Commander Chen and the Deputy Commander have been waiting for you on the training ground. Everything is ready."

"Good," Tang Ye nodded, herding a multitude of beast zombies into the city in succession. This news spread quickly after he entered; so many zombies above Level 3 entering the human Sanctuary Zone certainly was a spectacle, drawing crowds of survivors who crammed the streets, curiously watching this undead army.

However, as the undead army moved into the Troop Formation Area, people continued to go back to what they were doing beforehand.

Upon entering the Troop Formation Area, a large number of Peace Party soldiers came forward to welcome them. Tang Ye exchanged a few pleasantries, then continued to lead the horde of beast zombies into the center of the large square. Before long, countless soldiers armed with armor and saddles tailored for the beast zombies began fitting each one.

After watching for a while and just as he was about to leave, Tang Ye felt someone approaching from behind. His gaze seemed to be fixed on him. Without turning around, it was not until that person patted his shoulder that he looked back.

He turned to see Hatred.

"Marshal."

"What is it?"

"Someone came looking for you today during the daytime."

"Oh?" Tang Ye’s eyes flickered with a look of surprise.
