Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!
Chapter 102
The author has something to say: I can finally go to bed early today.
Next time, I must start writing as soon as possible!!!
The residents of Mundama City felt like they were living in a ghost world. The rain that fell from the sky brought with it black smoke. Some of the weaker ones coughed non-stop when they came into contact with the smoke. This time, without the urging of the soldiers, they quickly closed the doors and windows.
"Are we going to die?" The people huddled in their houses. Some of the weaker ones had already started crying.
But in the end, they were saved.
The Holy Light had saved Mundama City.
A person walked out of the door of the church. He was staggering, walking forward step by step. He looked very tired. It was obvious that he had just gone through a great battle.
Ska happened to be patrolling the area with some people. She quickly went up to him.
"Senior Xu Jun …"
The devastation of the Black Plague had caused the people of Mundama City to live in darkness. But now, apart from those who had already died, most people had hope of recovering.
Although most people's lifespans had been reduced by five to ten years, possibly because their bodies had been corroded by the Dark Element, Xu Jun wasn't prepared to tell the residents of Mundama City about this.
He only discussed it with Ska. Next, he would gather all the men and women in the city and give them a check-up. He would distribute medicine and set aside a time for everyone to exercise.
Doing this might make the people of Mundama City healthier.
Everything was in a mess. There were many things waiting to be done, but it was also full of hope.
Fortunately, Xu Jun had used the Holy Elixir in time. The living people in the city didn't turn into undead.
The crisis was over for the time being. The rain outside was much cleaner. Soon, the sun came out. People ran out of their houses.
At this moment, it seemed like there was no hierarchy in Mundama City. The poor and the nobles were all together, all for the sake of our great God of Light.
Xu Jun knew that this kind of busy happiness was only on the surface. Once this period of time passed, the people would slowly forget the taste of despair and death. They would start to remember their friends and family who had died in the tide of the Black Plague. They would cry and grieve for a long time.
However, at that time, people had already endured the most difficult days.
Xu Jun had asked Jess to bring Rance here to control the situation. After Jess arrived, she directly took the gravekeeper out of the house and placed him at the city gate, telling him to hide. When the first batch of undead ran out of the graveyard, she asked Rance to use an ice spell to seal the whole graveyard.
The tomb keeper rubbed his hands and exchanged glances with the young soldier guarding the city gate. At the same time, he thought to himself, "Is this the legendary Grand Magus?!!!"
For these people who had never received proper combat education, they had only read basic novels and listened to some bards' poems. Although they were only ordinary people, in their hearts, they yearned for something like a grand mage or a great swordsman. It was as if the slightly lower rank of a grand mage was nothing more than trash.
Of course, they were also very clear that in reality, not to mention a grand mage, even a wizard apprentice was like a boss. _ (: 3/∠) _
Jess and Rance didn't feel much about the ground full of undead. Although Jess, as a unicorn, naturally despised dark creatures, undead and demons, he was still an orc. Orcs were the most capable and pragmatic race. They were never squeamish. For them, life was a battlefield everywhere, and comfort was a luxury.
Their lives were much better than that of magical beasts, but they weren't much better than magical beasts.
But of course, this was referring to low-level Orcs. Orcs like Jayz belonged to the corrupted Orcs who had been corrupted by hateful Humans.
For ordinary orcs, they were so particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. For them, this was a rebellion.
Jess's shoes were stained with mucus and blood. He frowned and rubbed the soles of his shoes against a nearby rock. "Rance, what do you say about your father sending you to such a dirty and smelly place?"
By now, Jess had completely given up on the idea that "Xu Jun is Rance's father".
Xu Jun and Rance acted like father and son in front of him every day … He was almost immune to it. _ (: 3/∠) _
Rance heard Jess's question and shook his head blankly. "Is it dirty?
Every year, when the clan leader's nest is cleaned up, there will be trash much dirtier than this. "
Jess: "…"
What was the clan leader of the Frost Dragons doing?!
Why would there be trash like this in the nest?!
Rance!
It wasn't easy for you to come out alive and find Xu Jun!!!
The two looked at each other speechlessly and continued to vent their anger on the undead.
Jess was very powerful. He was known to be able to beat these undead down with just a flick of his finger. However, this guy was someone who harmed others without benefiting himself. Xu Jun had asked him to do the labor, so he wanted to do the same to Xu Jun.
That was why … he only asked Rance to freeze the undead.
"The finishing work will be left to the responsible and powerful Hero, Mr. Xu Jun." With that, Jess clapped his hands and sat by the side of the path to wait for the others.
When Xu Jun finally arrived … Xu Jun brought a group of hot-blooded and determined young people with Cole, Irene and Ska in the lead. Xu Jun clapped his hands at the young people.
"The finishing work will be left to you young people. You still need more experience, especially Cole. Don't let hatred blind you. Remember, all of this will make you stronger. You will grow into a tree that can protect Mundama City!"
He looked into Cole's eyes and said in a gentler tone, "Just like your father did for so many years."
Cole's eyes reddened. He nodded slightly. "I will."
He already knew that his father had died in battle.
Xu Jun didn't tell Cole and Irene everything about the mayor of Newport. He didn't want the two children to know that their father had given up on them in order to "revive" their older brother. He had even given the whole of Mundama City to the Bishop of Carloman.
The mayor of Newport was a very selfish father, but his children knew nothing about his actions. Since that was the case … then he wouldn't let them know.
He would leave an image of a good father in Irene and Cole's hearts.
Cole's face was pale and his lips were trembling. He used to like to talk back to his father. He always thought that his father was old, his ideas were too old-fashioned, and he didn't want to improve himself.
Two years ago, Mundama City could have been the first to develop the rare ore industry, but because the mayor of Newport didn't dare to compete with the bigger Nica City in the north, they missed out.
This was very different from the education he had received since he was young. Back then, his father had been very strict with him.
As the mayor of Mundama City, they were born to fight and snatch. They dared to compete with the neighboring cities for all kinds of opportunities and resources. After all, they were only free cities, not a real big country. If they went with the flow, then they wouldn't have anything.
When the mayor of Newport asked Cole this, Rend would try to persuade him. He would tell his father that Cole was still young and was still a child.
Now that he thought about it, it was probably after Rend died in battle that Cole truly grew up.
But now that he had grown up, his father was old.
Cole raised his head. His eyes looked as if they had been washed by water. His eyes still had the childishness of a young master, but he had matured.
Xu Jun patted his head. "Don't be afraid. Have your soldiers line up. Wait and see what I do. Then you guys follow."
Cole pursed his lips and smiled, but his heart was pounding. The soldiers behind him — in fact, they were the mayor's guards — raised their weapons and shouted in a grand manner.
As guards, they usually fought against magic beasts. When there was a conflict with the surrounding cities, they would also go to the battlefield. But undead … No one had seen them before.
After this battle, they could also brag to others that they had killed undead ~\ (≧ ▽ *)/~
Xu Jun saw that the group of young people were in good spirits and nodded inwardly. "Don't worry. I'm just showing you. The real battle will be left to you."
The young people were so excited that their faces turned red. After all, everyone in the city had come out!
They were all waiting to see them kill the undead!
They were about to become idols!!!
On the side of the road, Jess, who wanted to leave the dirty work to Xu Jun, was speechless.
Why are these soldiers so happy even though they've been assigned a task by Xu Jun?
Were these people stupid?!
Xu Jun stood at the edge of the graveyard outside the city. In front of him were all frightening-looking evil spirits. Occasionally, there would be some high-level undead and skeleton swordsmen. They were probably low-level or mid-level fighters when they were alive.
During the day, these undead didn't look so scary, especially when people gathered around to look at them.
The graveyard outside the city wasn't as majestic as the church in the city. Many places had been destroyed. Some tombstones were broken with only half of them left. Some were directly buried because they couldn't afford coffins. The corpses had been dug out by sharp-beaked cranes and grassland jackals until only the bones were left.
But this place was still divided into two parts. The East Graveyard and the West Graveyard. In the middle of the East Graveyard and the West Graveyard, there was a graveyard keeper's hut. The graveyard keeper had already run away, so there was no need to worry about accidental injuries. Now, the graveyard keeper was sitting at the city gate with a group of old men and women, waiting to see the heroes fight the undead. Before Xu Jun even started fighting, they were already cheering.
The ice that Rance had created gradually melted, and the undead finally came back to life.
If they were humans, they would have been frozen from top to bottom. But the bodies of the undead were different from humans. They were more afraid of being burned than being frozen.
Xu Jun found a few undead closest to him and used Charge on them.
"Low-level undead and demons are mostly slow, but demon hounds are an exception. Undead that turn from animals are much faster than humans. When fighting the undead, melee professions should pay attention to their center of gravity. Try to attack the undead's joints and head as much as possible to weaken the enemy's offensive ability." As he explained, he fought with the undead in a textbook manner. His dodging was also very elegant. "Mages should pay attention to the distance. The undead move slowly, so you can first use spells to set up roadblocks on the ground. Kiting is very important for mages.
— — Finally, when facing the undead, don't breathe too fast, lest you faint. "
Everyone nodded in unison, like a group of studious primary school students.
I didn't expect you to be such a hero!
