"My prince, you have no idea for how long I have been waiting for you?" Seeing Zeno kneeling behind Isaac and speaking those words, for a moment Aleesia's mind went blank as her brain was unable to comprehend what was happening.
"What happening?" Even Isaac himself looked confused.
.
Seeing the confused look on Isaac's face, Zeno sighed and decided to explain everything. "I trainer under a certain person 15 years ago. That person personally took me under his wing and trained me to become your Highness's bodyguard."
"The person who trained you was....." In the end, Isaac's voice trembled due to overwhelming emotions in his heart.
"Yes, it was master Leo." Zeno sighed in regret. Before the apocalypse started, the news had reached Eastfox city. Zeno could only stand together with his prince who has lost all the people he loved and show his support.
.
Both Lusha and Aleesia noticed how shaken Isaac looked for a second before he calmed himself due to the effect of Heart of Ice.
[ Zeno Mornala: - level 50 | Class: - General (Mythical Class)]
"What happened here?" Isaac noticed that Zeno's class was General. Zeno was the most perfect man to lead an army. Having the mythical class general, Isaac was sure that Zeno must-have skills that can temporarily buff the soldier's strength.
.
Sigh!
Zeno sighed remembering the deaths of thousands of people. "Your highness, the day before yesterday just when the apocalypse event started, I moved a small number of people to the western emergency shelter. Things were going well for us. At least we didn't need to worry about food. As time passed more and more people came to take shelter. However, yesterday there was an attack from the zombie group. While I managed to kill 7 second-order zombies, the 8th second-order zombie managed to injure me before dying."
.
"So, Today they launched a full-scale attack on the western base." Zeno nodded his head.
"Get up." Isaac then looked into his brown eyes and asked.
"Zeno, do you want to become my subordinate and follow me?"
"Your highness, I swore to follow you from the beginning. Unless I die, I will continue to serve you." Isaac couldn't help but smile slightly seeing the firm determined look in his eyes.
.
[Ding! Zeno has become the host's third subordinate.]
[Ding! Zeno's Loyalty is [100%], and the host new subordinate will receive 10% of the host stats.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for becoming the subordinate of Isaac. The host has received 10% of Isaac's stats.]
[Ding! Mana [20+], Health [14+], Stamina [22+], Agility [30+], Strength [10+] Hearing these words and feeling the sudden increase in his power, Zeno looked at with a confused face.
.
Meanwhile, Aleesia couldn't describe how shocked she was. Never did she think that this entire time she was staying with the 3rd prince of the Aetas Empire. Almost every noble house in the Aetas Empire knew who Master Leo was.
Master Leo was one of the generals and also the teacher of the 3rd infamous prince. Every noble house highly respected Master Leo and didn't dare to offend him. Even Aleesia's father was the same.
.
"No wonder Isaac wanted to go to the East." Just before the apocalypse started, the news had reached Eastfox city. Aleesia heard that the 3rd prince was exiled. He was made the king of the Eastern Desert Coastal region. Aleesia didn't think much of the matter as she had bigger things in her hand. Never did she think that she would meet the 3rd prince wounded.
.
"Your highness, please come with me. I will take you to the western shelter." Isaac glanced at Aleesia who was 15 meters away from them. Isaac purposely allowed Aleesia to listen to their conversation. Since Aleesia already had found Zeno call Isaac 'Your Highness' then there was no reason to hide the rest. She would find out eventually.
.
The western shelter looked similar to other shelters. The shelter was located underground. However, compared to the other shelters, this shelter was even bigger and massive.
"Master Zeno, you're back. Thank God." As long as Zeno returned, 9 soldiers came to him with relieved faces. Isaac found that the highest level among the 9 soldiers was level 20.
"But Master Zeno who are they?"
.
Zeno purposely raised his voice so that the people in the shelter would also hear his voice.
"I want you all to listen and remember what I am going to say next in your hearts. This is Isaac Adalbert, he is the former 3rd prince of the Aetas Empire. He is also my master and the lord that I serve. If any of you dares to disrespect His Highness, then I will personally punish that person and feed him to the zombies."
Isaac and Aleesia noticed that some people were shivering hearing Zeno's voice.
.
"How many people are here?" Aleesia couldn't help but ask seeing the countless number of people sitting in the huge underground room.
"If my estimation is right, then there should be around 5,000 people in this shelter."
"5,000." Isaac realized just how big of a burden Zeno has been carrying this entire time. No wonder he was willing to give up his life. In front of this base, Isaac's other two bases were basically nothing but an ant.
.
"Your highness and Miss Aleesia, please come with me." Following Zeno, both of them arrived in a VIP room that was 50 meters in size. The room was decorated with carpet and couches.
After sitting down, Aleesia looked at Isaac and asked. "Why did you lie about your identity?"
"I just didn't trust anyone. Knowing how loyal Xavion is to Lord Greadsorn, I am sure he would have killed me the moment I revealed my identity." Even though Isaac didn't say it directly, from his words it was clear that he also didn't trust Aleesia.
"I see." Aleesia also would have done the same thing if she was in Isaac's position.
"By the way, why this shelter is bigger than other shelters?" Isaac asked.
"About 45 years ago, the previous Lord of this city built this shelter so that the citizen of the city could hide in shelter during the monster outbreaks."
"What is monster outbreak?" Isaac asked with a confused face.
"Monsters outbreak usual happens at this time of the year. Each year some monsters would attack the city. In the early days, there was nothing the Greadsorn family could do against monster attacks so they built shelters that are used to this day."
"Now that I think about it, this year the monsters are yet to attack the city." Zeno wondered out loud.
"Maybe the arrival of apocalypse has something to do with this." Previously she was a little suspicious of Isaac but after learning his identity and knowing what he wanted to do, Aleesia was able to let her guard down.
Also, she trusted Zeno. Even in the past, Zeno has helped her many times when even her father did nothing to help her.
"Or maybe, in a few days, we might see a monster outbreak." Lusha who was lazily lying in the air said as she continued to read the fantasy novel. Isaac had no time to appreciate how her curves were displayed as her words were enough to turn the situation very serious.
"Zeno, do you know where the other and last guardian is?" Isaac asked in a serious tone. But just as Isaac said these words, something flashed on his retina.
.
[Ding! In this new world, the Eastfox city is under the threat of Monster Outbreak. The city must be united to face off the enemy that could potentially destroy the entire city and kill everyone. Since new different factions have been made in the city, the host must become the lord of this city and fight the monsters.
_Quest:- Become the lord of this city within 5 days.
Time period: - 5 days
Penalty: - Everyone in the city will die and this city will be wiped off due to monsters.
_Reward:- A mysterious Box, A unique title, and a 5-star item]
.
At this moment, every other faction leader in Eastfox city also got the same mission as Isaac did.
Somewhere in the Eastern part of the slum, there was a man sitting on the roof. After reading the message, a cruel and chilling smile appeared on his face.
"It looks like I should hurry up and get the western shelter under my control."
______At the same time,
A man who was sitting on a throne looked outside through the glass window. "Conquering the city in 5 days? I guess it's about time that I take back my city and kill all the rebellions."
"Prepare our soldiers for the battle."
-------
"It looks like the whole situation just got even crazy." Isaac began to rub his forehead with an exhausted look.
"What happened?" Zeno asked in concern.
"There will be a monster attack in 5 days. The system has given me a mission to become the lord of this city within 5 days." Lusha who was lazily reading a book raised her eyebrow in surprise.
.
Isaac after saying these words looked at Aleesia. Becoming the lord of this city would mean, that Isaac would eventually fight her father.
