I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

They were only a little over a hundred meters away from the edge of the cursed land.

Anno put Selena down and ran after Tester.

The undead zombies weren't very fast, and they had already been left behind by the others.

However, it wasn't just the soldiers who were transformed; there were also some monsters and monsters tamed by them.

They've caught up from behind.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

Two hundred viscount guards had already rushed down the hillside beside them, and the captain of the guards, Grimm, looked at Tester with a nervous expression.

If Tester were to meet with trouble here, and these people were still alive, the king would certainly not let them off the hook.

Not only these guards, but all the adventurers and mercenaries present will be accused of failing to provide adequate protection.

It's not impossible that he could be executed by the enraged king.

Tester glanced back at the undead zombies trailing two or three hundred meters behind, gritted his teeth, and said, "Retreat to Val'kam first!"

He has two level 25 guards by his side, and he also has the Demon-Sealing Crystal as a trump card.

Tester, who was full of confidence, never expected that a level 22 lich would be able to create a cursed land!

Although the monster army was gone, his remaining two thousand soldiers of the Tenth Army were also gone.

Moreover, there were several thousand more Tier 2 undead zombies.

"Your Highness, please mount your horse!"

Grimm gave his warhorse to Tester, and the other guards behind him also dismounted, allowing the prince's guards to ride.

During this time, Anno leaned close to Grimm and asked, "Captain Grimm, why haven't the adventurers and mercenaries on the hillside come down?"

Grimm said with a grim expression, "That black hood has the effect of turning people into monsters."

Some people encountered the black hood, while others were enveloped within it.

They've turned into monsters, and the mercenary adventurers are dealing with them.

Anuo was worried about the safety of Xue Feibai and the others, and wanted to go up and check on the situation.

He walked to a warhorse carrying two people and said to Laura, who looked somewhat panicked, "Miss Laura, you should go back to Valkam with His Highness the Prince first. It's not safe here."

"Anno, are you going to stay here? Why don't you come with us?"

A hint of worry flashed in Laura's eyes.

She had just seen adventurers and mercenaries turned into undead zombies on the hillside.

Many people were scratched or bitten in the chaos.

Witness zombies tearing humans apart, and the process of humans transforming into zombies.

Laura was deeply shocked.

She couldn't imagine Anno staying here, surrounded by those monsters.

"Don't worry, I'll catch up soon!"

Anno gave Laura a reassuring look.

Laura wanted to persuade Anno to leave, but then she heard Tester ordering a retreat.

By this time, Tester had already mounted his warhorse.

Selena was about to leave with Tester when she saw Anno preparing to run up the hillside to the side.

Thinking back to how the warhorse had been turned into an undead, if Anno hadn't caught her in time when she fell from the sky, she might have been injured.

So Selena spurred her horse to Anno's side and said arrogantly, "Hey, you named Anno, you can ride with this knight next to me and leave with us!"

I'm not doing this to thank you for protecting me just now.

"It's just that Brother Wang previously mentioned your great potential, so he wanted to preserve this promising talent."

When the female knight died, she had already told Anno about Princess Selena's identity.

Therefore, Selena had no reason to hide her identity as a princess.

Anno glanced at the somewhat arrogant Selena with a puzzled look, and then said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but I have other matters to attend to. Please leave as soon as possible."

When Anno first saw Selena in the Forbidden Forest after killing the Goblin King, he used his "All-Seeing Ability" to see Selena's full name and guess her royal identity.

He never expected that the usually arrogant and willful Selena would actually think of calling him along before leaving.

"you......"

"Selena, run!"

Selena was about to scold Anno for being ungrateful after being rejected when Tester's urging voice came from the side.

At that moment, Anno turned and ran towards the hillside.

"Hmph! You might as well die here!"

Selena watched Anno's retreating figure, snorted, and then followed Tester, escorted by soldiers, towards Valcalm.

Among the pursuing undead army, one undead zombie wielding a greatsword and wearing light armor was far faster than the others.

There were also several penetrating wounds on its chest and other parts of its body.

If Anno saw it among the zombie horde, he would surely cry out in alarm.

Its appearance is exactly like Asa, Test's level 25 warrior guard!

"Roar~!"

Two hundred meters from the edge of the cursed land, the zombie transformed from Asa saw a group of living beings with relatively strong life force, suddenly quickened its pace and left with a roar.

Killing more and stronger living beings and using their flesh and blood to irrigate the cursed land, thereby causing the cursed land to expand continuously, is the instinct of all undead zombies!

The larger the area of ​​the cursed land, the stronger the undead creatures within it.

Leaping onto the back of a grotesque zombie horse transformed from a warhorse, Asar the zombie chased after Tester as he left.

Behind it, many third-tier undead zombies followed on mounts such as zombie horses and zombie boars.

When Anno rushed up the hillside, he saw that the mercenaries and adventurers above had basically dealt with all the professionals who had been transformed into undead zombies.

Moreover, Anno discovered some bad information.

The cursed land beneath our feet is expanding ever onward.

"It's that black mist!"

Anno watched as the black mist drifted from the cracks at the edge of the cursed land not far away. After flying to the edge area, it quickly polluted a small patch of land.

"Won't this place become a paradise for the dead?"

Anno felt a little worried.

When Anno came up, Warwick, Linda, and Xue Feibai immediately surrounded him.

"President Anno, what exactly happened?"

"Anno, are you alright?"

Without wasting words, Anno shouted directly to everyone, "Gentlemen, the situation has changed! Everyone evacuate immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Feibai immediately organized the adventurers to evacuate.

Warwick and Linda aren't stupid either.

The 'guards' rushing towards us below have probably also turned into monsters.

They immediately led their men and retreated towards Walkam.

As for the other mercenary groups, some of their leaders had already died in the monster attack.

Seeing Anno and Warwick retreating with their men, he quickly followed behind.

However, these people are generally of a lower social class.

Most of them are at level zero; level one professionals are very rare.

The undead zombies that followed were mostly at level two or higher.

Although their speed has decreased, that's only in comparison to professionals of equal strength.

They were still considerably faster than these mercenaries and adventurers.

Some of the faster zombie monsters had even caught up to within fifty meters of the retreating group!

"Roar!"

A level 13 zombie wolf suddenly accelerated and pounced on a mercenary.

"Ah~!"

Hearing the screams around them, the people nearby gritted their teeth and ran away.

In their terror, some mercenaries even dropped their weapons and loads, wishing they only had two legs.

At this moment, as long as you run faster than the people around you, you can survive!
