Chapter 72: Night Strike
The sun sank below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of deep red and purple. Thunder rumbled in the distance as Kingdom waited on the wall, the air thick with the promise of rain. One by one, twenty-five figures emerged from the shadows, all dressed in black, their movements silent as whispers. Henry and Deke stood at the front while Lola lingered behind them, her scarves replaced by a dark mask."Tonight we strike back using the darkness as our cover." Kingdom's voice was low but clear, cutting through the night air. "Choose important targets. Above all else, come back alive. I don't want to bury more people than I already do."Before anyone could respond, he vanished from the wall. The Shadows followed without a sound.They moved through the forest like wraiths, their footsteps swallowed by the rustling leaves. Kingdom slowed, his hand raised in a fist. Three large mutant zombies trudged ahead, their heavy footsteps crunching through dead leaves, their breath coming in wet, gu
Chapter 71: Shadows in the Dark
The Lightning Eagle let out a piercing screech before diving toward Kingdom. Thanks to his Mekata Eyes, he tracked its movements clearly, slipping past its talons with a sharp twist of his body. But the Shadow Sparrow kept him on edge—small, swift, and deadly. It was barely larger than a dog, but its speed was unnatural. Even with his enhanced vision, Kingdom could only defend against its strikes, never quite fast enough to counter."Bastard!" Kingdom snarled. Every time he closed in on the Lightning Eagle, ready to land a killing blow, the sparrow would dart in, forcing him to defend and letting the eagle slip away.Dark clouds rolled across the sky, thick and heavy, threatening rain.Ava, how's it going on your side? Kingdom asked through their link.Tough enemies. Might take us a while, she replied, her focus sharp.Looks like no help coming anytime soon, Kingdom muttered to himself.The eagle circled back, lightning crackling along its wings before it unleashed a barrage of bolts
Chapter 70: The Battle for the City
The flurry of arrows and spells slammed into the mass of zombies, killing many instantly, but due to the sheer number of undead, the charge didn't stop. They continued surging toward the wall, trampling over their fallen comrades without hesitation."Takon, Ava, light them up," Kingdom commanded.They both nodded, launching into the air with powerful wingbeats that stirred the smoke-filled sky. They dove toward the oncoming army, mouths opening wide as flames erupted from their throats. White and black fire swept across the battlefield in waves, turning rows of zombies into ash that scattered in the wind. The heat was so intense that even Kingdom, standing on the wall, felt its sting on his face."Arrrgh!"The zombie king let out a guttural roar that cut through the chaos. Hundreds of mutated zombies stepped forward from the horde, each gripping long javelins in their twisted hands. Their muscles bulged as they pulled back, aiming at the wall.Kingdom's eyes widened. "Get down!" he ro
Chapter 69: The Battle Begins
The next day came fast. Kingdom woke before sunrise, gave Cloey a kiss on her forehead, and let her sleep as he headed toward the north gate. He donned his new armor—pitch black with a red emblem on the chest depicting a phoenix, a dragon, and a wolf. Emma had designed it from his soul beasts.Kingdom quickly made his way to the north wall, standing there looking into the distance for his enemies."Go rest. I'll cover the rest of your shift," Kingdom told the guards on duty."Thank you, City Lord." They bowed and headed home.Kingdom released all his soul beasts.---Chaser - Level 60Demon Blood Wolf (Rare Beast)Element: Demon & BloodVitality (VIT): 120Strength (STR): 254Dexterity (DEX): 210Agility (AGI): 260Intelligence (INT): 15Loyalty: 100%Skills:Blood LustBlood AbsorptionDemonic BloodSoul Beast---Ava - Level 67Dark Phoenix (Divine Beast)Element: Black Hell FlameMana: 1002/1002Vitality (VIT): 327Strength (STR): 145Dexterity (DEX): 180Agility (AGI): 374Intelli
Chapter 68: The Generals Return
The following day, the three divisions from the south returned to the city. The soldiers looked worn out and dirty from constant battles. Kingdom told them to go home and rest—the invasion would begin tomorrow.What surprised Kingdom were his three generals. All of them were riding beasts.Colton rode a massive bear covered in red fur that seemed to radiate heat, shimmering the air around it.---FreddyIron Toothed Volcanic BearLevel: 62Tamed by Colton---Colton puffed out his chest, proud as a peacock for taming such a strong beast. He'd encountered it outside a dormant volcano that appeared after the system. Colton challenged it to a contest of strength, barely won, and Freddy had followed him since.Lilith sat on a large white horse with a spiraled horn on its forehead.Unicorn… Kingdom thought.

Chapter 67: Preparations for War
Within the hour, the entire city was making preparations. It wasn't just the soldiers but regular citizens too. Though not part of the army, thanks to Kingdom's rule about maintaining their levels, they all had battle experience. They could be found buying weapons and first aid supplies.Shortly after the announcement, Kingdom and the others gathered in the mansion's meeting room. They stood around a table, waiting for Kingdom to speak, all their faces serious."James, I need to know which direction they're coming from. You and your rangers will scout the forest—use the Red Forest Wolves if you have to." Kingdom's voice carried the authority of a leader.James gave a small nod. "It will be done.""Once we know where they're coming from, I want the Shadows to go under cover of night and find out the size of this invasion, their power, and what the army is made of." Kingdom continued, giving Deke and his Shadows their assignment.Deke nodded silently."Lane, send some people to guide th
