The army stopped just before noon.
They already have killed a few zombies, so they already know why most people is fearing zombies.
"Your highness, there are two rats who are tailing us."
A retainer of Princess Aphrodite said.
"I have noticed them. They are unusual. I cannot fathom their strength depth even though those two are just the Tenth level of the Heaven Realm and the Ninth level of the Heaven Realm."
She pause for a moment, and remember her brother and one of his strongest and richest supporters Ashok Sen said there are a few genius people in the famine zone, she must ignore them. So, she is thinking that he was mentioning them. She said to the follower,
"Master Silvie, you have taught me for a long time. So you should know that even we shouldn't touch anyone we pleased. We need to know the weight first. And we must not be touched unknown in any conditions."
Aphrodite told to her.
"Yes, that's true. But I fear that the man of 3rd prince is too vicious. Who knows what they do if they found a slight gap in our faction."
Silvie said.
"I know right. He is exceptional in terms of manipulating the bad side of politics. He and Robin, two are genius in these terms. 3rd Prince wants to rule whereas Robin wants to assist the king, that's where it is different."
Aphrodite commented.
"I have seen when the last king came to the throne. I was a little girl back then. Back then I saw taking the throne should be easy for the His Majesty King because he was the only survivor. of the War, however, it was still a bloodbath to take that golden deer. And in your era it is messed up, there are many princes and a princess in the line to usurp the throne, what will happen if the battle for the throne started? I can't even imagine."
Silvie said. Her age is 60+ those who are in Duke Realm can make their skin of a teen.
"Well, all I need to do, is not do any mistakes."
Aphrodite said in shortcut. She then looked at the place where two peak Heaven Realm experts were hiding. She doesn't know what is their motives, however, she believes it is regarding the Zombies.
The army started to march again. Another batch of zombies attacks them. One of them was the 5th level of the sky realm.
"To think, killing a mere sky realm, Grand Duke Realm expert have to move. Just how terrifying those who are in Duke Realm. I heard there are four Duke realm experts on the City of terror."
Aphrodite said. The main problem is not a single part of their body shouldn't be left alone. Or they just reattached their body. The more terrifying fact is they just merge with others when no parts are left. And if the two or three zombies merges, their average strength of them becomes their new realm of them. However, if the stronger has more than half the potion, the stronger one retains its real realm strength. It's a troublesome ability of this creature.
"We need to be cautious, already one of our members turned into a zombie. And there is no medicine to turn him back but to see him becoming a zombie."
Cameron said. He is a Colonel. He is third in the chain of command. He is a 10th-level Duke, and Silvie is also a 10th-level Duke, however, she is a rank higher than him (Brigadier General).
By the way, the rank of the army follows this, Soldier, Lance Corporal, Corporal, Sergeant, Master Sergeant, Warrant Officer, Senior Warrant Officer, Master Warrant Officer, Second Lieutenant, Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Brigadier General, Lieutenant General, General and Supreme Commander. Princess Aphrodite is also Brigadier General. However, the royal court chooses her as the commander of the mission over Silvie because she is stronger and can handle an army pretty well.
"Merging is the main problem here. Like if we destroy two zombies and they only merge with their own bodies, we can divide our team to deal with each. However, we need to destroy a whole zombie to as not to let them merge with other zombie parts."
Silvie said.
"Well, all we need to destroy them completely, no? So, we will do that."
Princess Aphrodite said. She is no delicate, soft-minded princess, her will is the one that made her one of the stronger candidates.
"Let us forward toward the Shin City. For as long as I remember, we need to march for another 30 minutes to enter the border gate of the Shin City."
Aphrodite said.
"As you command commander."
After that, they took exactly 30 minutes to reach that city. For some reason, they didn't face any other zombies along the way. Both Princess and her juniors in ranks were confused about that.
On the other hand, Alex saw something on his map which made them surprised.
