Conqueror

Hearing it Jessica becomes silent, and can only sigh in helplessness. "Nedes, you're hopeless." She then walked closer to Nedes.

"Captain, I'm going in. I don't have a family, so you don't have to worry, hehe." Karsk said while scratching his head, and giving a silly smile.

"I'm also going in Captain!!, don't underestimate us adventurers Captain!!. We might not be a soldier material!!. But we can be your warriors... Right guys?!!" The Tier 2 Thief, spoke in a loud voice making sure that everyone can hear.

"That's right, Captain. I might not make it out alive, but it's okay. The Crystal Horned was also my family, so, I'm not leaving you, captain. That would be equivalent to leaving my father go in this frightening place alone." Another Tier 1 swordsman said.

Not long after, all the hundred adventurers didn't leave him. Although he was calmed on the outside, however, he was extremely grateful inside. He felt like all his hard work paid off.

"Ok, then. Let's go!!" Nedes bellowed, making the adventurer's blood boiled.

The 10 Thief were the first to go in, followed by 70 warriors, then 20 archers at the back. After 30 minutes the Tier 2 thief come back to report.

"Captain, there are five normal skeleton beasts and one Tier 1 beast ahead of us. To our northeast, we also saw the same five consistent normal skeleton beasts and one Tier 1 skeleton beast... Captain, we observed those skeletons a bit, and we found out that they are following a pattern the way they are patrolling." The Tier 2 Thief reported.

He frowned hearing the report. The truth was, It's his first time seeing a land infected by a Plague of Death. He only read this phenomenon in books, furthermore, as far as he remembered, any being who become skeleton by the plague. Shouldn't have intelligence, and just wondering inside the Plaque Of Death.

"Are you sure that the beast skeletons, look as though they are patrolling?" Nedes asked.

"...Yes, Captain."

"Ahm... Captain, why don't we just kill our way in. If it's only normal and Tier 1 skeleton beast. Then, I think we can clear this area." Karsk suggested, hearing that there were only Tier 1 and normal beast, in this Plaque Of Death.

Some of the adventurers nodded in agreement.

"No, we can't do that. We still didn't have a clue, if there were only normal and Tier 1 skeleton beast in here, it's risky." The Tier 2 Thief said.

"Mozag is right, it's too risky... Let's continue, for now, let's just kill the skeletons slowly first, and see if some higher Tier skeletons will show up." Nedes said, the rest then nodded in agreement.

"Lead the way, Mozag."

They then continued following Mozag's guidance. Shortly after they arrived at the scene, all the adventurers gaped in horror, seeing the dead trees, black land. Everything was dead, they thought that things wouldn't be too bad, since the trees were not completely dead on their way here. But now, seeing the area in front of them gives them goosebumps.

Nedes on the other hand was looking on the ground with a horrified expression. The black earth was expanding visible to the naked eye. The trees and plants would then die in just seconds.

Seeing the trees, and plants around them started dying, visible to the naked eye. All the adventurers began to sweat. Then they heard a cry that wakes their soul.

"Prepare for battle!!." Nedes shouted.

A group of six skeleton beasts in front of them suddenly started galloping at them, after the black land passed them.

In the next moment, the two Knights and three Shield Bearer come in front. Then, put their shields in their front, to stop the six charging skeleton beasts.

"Thud"

"Thud"

"Thud"...

The three normal beasts got their skull shattered into pieces upon impact. The remaining three were killed by the Knights.

" Hahaha, how dumb. They ram themselves to death into the shield. Even if thousand of skeletons, come at us, we will just gonna let them ram themselves to the Knights and Shield Bearers shield." Karsk laughed, seeing how they easily killed the skeletons.

However, contrary to his happy expression. The rest was having a gloomy looked, Karsk looked around but did find anything unusual. So he asked the person beside him. "Hey, what's the problem? Why you all have an ugly face?"

The Tier 1 warrior looked at him, with fear visible in its eyes. "Your wish had just come true... Can't you feel a little tremor on the ground? The faint clattering bones coming towards us."

Karsk was puzzled, nonetheless, he tried to concentrate. However, his concentration got interrupted, when his captain gives an order again.

"Prepare for battle!!" Nedes shouted in an authoritative tone, that woke up the adventurers from their shock.
