“Why did you betray the humans?”

“Why did you betray your own beliefs and become a lackey of the darkness?!”

Hearing this, Landel pulled out the sword at his waist and placed it on Willis’ neck.

“Watch your words.”

“If the other two Undead Evil Lords hear what you have just said, even I won’t be able to save your lives!”

‘Undead Evil Lords!’ ‘Supreme Lord?’

These names kept appearing in Willis’ mind. Could it be that the Fergus Empire had already fallen?

“Why? Could it be that the Fergus Empire has already fallen?”

Landel put away his longsword and said to him, “Not yet, but it won’t be long before it does, into the hands of the Supreme Lord!”

“Stop talking so much. Hurry up and follow me!”

After hearing Landel’s words, the five of them all threw their weapons on the ground and walked out of the door behind him.

The few of them followed the tunnel back up.

Willis looked up at the black smoke that blotted out the sky. The town he had been managing had become a world of dark creatures.

Despair and disappointment instantly surged in his heart, but he had no way to resist them now.

Zombies patrolled the streets and they did not patrol normally like human soldiers. Instead, they were all scattered around the place.

As soon as a living creature appeared on the streets, they would mercilessly tear whatever it was into pieces.

Because of Landel’s existence, these zombies would simply glance at them before leaving, consciously making way for them.

After walking for a short while, they arrived at the castle.

In the hall, there was a dried-up blood pool. The seat of the Castellan had been replaced by a huge chair made of bones.

On the chair, there was a man who was emitting dark energy.

The five of them came before Hall and kneeled down unconsciously because of his power.

Hall turned to look at them. “Oh! Seems like you’re quite familiar with this procedure!”

“Landel, thank you for your hard work. Stand at the side and wait for a while!”

Hearing Hall’s words, Landel walked aside and stared at the people kneeling on the ground.

“I’ve been looking for you so hard that I’ve even thought of threatening you to come out!”

Hearing this, Willis felt that he still had a chance of surviving. After all, he was still alive and breathing.

“What orders do you have for us, Supreme Lord?”

Hall shook off the rotten flesh on his hand and started rubbing his chin with his bony hand out of habit.

After realizing that he no longer had a beard, he put down his hand.

“It’s not anything too important.”

“I just want you to take good care of the over 100,000 civilians in the city.”

“After all, you’re the Castellan. You’ll be much better at giving orders to them than I am.”

Hearing this, Willis was overjoyed. He didn’t expect the Supreme High Lord of Undead in front of him to make such a request.

‘Looks like I still have a chance to resist!’

The idea was good, but it would not take long for Willis to realize how foolish it was!

“I have already chosen a new area for the humans to relocate to, and it is currently under construction.”

“It won’t be long before you can bring people there.”

“But in order for me to let you continue being the Castellan, I have a small request, and I hope that you can satisfy it.”

Willis lowered his head and did not dare to continue staring at Hall.

“What is it? Just tell me. I will do my best to fulfill it!”

“I want one of your sons to become my subordinate, and I want your daughter to live in this castle.”

Hearing this, Willis did not want to heed it, but he had no way to resist.

His heart was in great pain and suffering. He could not bear to have one of his two sons become a dark creature.

Seeing his father in such pain, as the eldest son, Yamane felt that this was the time for him to stand up.

He immediately crawled a few steps forward and prostrated himself in front of Hall. “Supreme Lord, please let me become a dark creature!”

Behind him, his younger brother Jim and sister Hilary had already begun to cry, but they did not cry out loud. They simply shed tears silently.

Seeing Yamane, Hall looked up at him. “Hmm, judging by your age, you must be the eldest brother.”

“An admirably responsible man! You remind me of my son, who has already been turned into a dark creature.”

“Since you’ve already decided, Landel, bring them to the room in the back to rest!”

Hearing the order, Landel immediately brought the five of them into the guest room of the castle. He separated all of them and locked them in separate rooms.

The first thing Willis did when he returned to the room was to open the window to check the situation outside.

Not looking would have left him with a sliver of hope. After taking a look, he found that the castle was full of undead creatures, so full that they were densely packed.

“Why! Why did this happen!”

After giving his orders, Landel turned around and left, returning to the hall to wait for Hall’s orders.

“Landel, go and pick some old and weak people to come over. Bring over about 1,500 people!”

“Yes, sir! I’ll do so right away.” After saying that, he left the castle without looking back.

When Landel was still a human knight, he hated doing such things. But now that he had a core of darkness, doing these things would bring him pleasure instead.

Walking out of the castle, he used the magic communication device and announced the orders he had been given.

After all the people in the city heard the broadcast, the elderly people consciously walked out in order not to implicate their families.

1,500 people were quickly gathered.

Hymin and Gerrard, who had just finished their work, soon arrived back in the castle.

Seeing the people standing outside the courtyard, they immediately came to Hall. They knew that they had something to do again, so they became more active in wanting to get more favor from the supreme ruler.

“Supreme Lord, is there anything we can do?”

Hall stretched out his finger and pointed at the empty space outside the courtyard. “Dig out a blood pool there. I plan to transform a subordinate tonight!”

“There are too many things happening in the city. If there weren’t so many other subordinates helping out, the two of you wouldn’t be able to handle it!”

Hearing this, the two of them were instantly moved because they had never rested since they came here.

Although they were not human anymore, there were still times when they got tired from working non-stop.

“Thank you, Supreme Lord. We will do so right away!”

Hall was already used to giving out orders.. Being in a position of power felt really good!
