Athos rushed to assist in the battle near the gate, but it was not necessary. Most of the people were already dead when he arrived, corpses piling up on the floor. The skeleton mages created undead until they ran out of mana, but corpses kept piling up in the streets.
The total number of survivors was only 1000 people, showing the absurd number of deaths in less than 2 hours. Some people despaired and committed suicide to avoid being brutally killed by the undead. There were still people who weren't in the central square at the time of the attack and were fighting for their lives all over the city, but that wouldn't last long.
'Divide a part of your forces and kill the people scattered around the city.' Athos ordered, causing half of the undead to ignore the humans and scatter across the city. Athos hoped this would be enough, but the number of undead being destroyed has not diminished.
