Looking at Landel’s determined gaze, Hall seemed to have understood something.

“I’ve thought it through!”

Landel immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Hall.

“Ever since I listened to your lecture when I was young, I’ve always looked up to you. I’ve always dreamed of fighting alongside you.”

“Now that the opportunity has come, there’s no reason for me to reject it!”

Hearing this, Hall was very surprised and laughed loudly.

“If I were still a human, I would be very touched upon hearing this. Unfortunately, I’ve already become the darkness!”

“Go in, we’ll begin the ceremony now!” He raised his hand and pointed at the blood pool in the hall.

Landel’s will was very firm. He immediately walked towards the blood pool and down the stairs into the pool, only stopping when the blood had reached his neck.

At this time, Hall had already arrived behind him. He raised the wand in his hand and black light started to spread from it.

A complicated transformation magical array then appeared around the blood pool.

The blood pool surged under the effect of the magical array. All the blood in the blood pool then entered Landel’s body.

His skin, which originally appeared alive, immediately turned light blue with the blood and Hall’s magic.

After completing the transformation, Landel had become a member of Hall’s undead army.

He turned around and knelt down on one knee towards Hall. “Supreme Lord! Dark Knight Landel will be at your service from now on!”

Hall raised his hand and cast a spell, drawing a sharp and sturdy longsword from the wall of the Castellan’s residence.

He walked to Landel’s side and handed the sword to him.

“Take this sword and find all the henchmen from the Castellan’s mansion!”

“There’s no need to kill all of them. I still have some use for them!”

“Yes, sir! I’ll do so right away.”

Hymin and Gerard were extremely envious of Landel. They were both jealous of the fact that Landel had received a huge reward after having just transformed!

As their leader, Hall quickly understood what they were thinking through their expressions.

“You two go and rest first. We might have to start a war with the neighboring countries soon!”

“When the next war is over, I will continue to strengthen you with more sacrifices!”

Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately walked out of the Castellan’s mansion happily.

In the past, Hall did not understand why these undead generals were willing to fight so ferociously for him. However, after this, he finally understood how loyal these generals were towards him.

Wearing the armor of a Dark Knight, Landel hung his sword by his waist and came to the city.

After asking his compatriots in the city, he quickly found some clues.

Not long after, he arrived at the largest tavern in the middle of the town.

After everything, the first floor of the tavern was already in ruins.

All the wine bottles on the shelves had been smashed to pieces on the ground. Even now, the smell of wine could still be picked in the tavern.

It was precisely because of this wine that the undead soldiers in the city could not find the humans.

He looked around through the ruins and found a few bottles of cheap wine on the shelves.

He walked over, picked up one of the bottles, and broke the bottle with his hand.

He then finished the wine in one gulp.

“Ah!”

“Is this what wine tastes like?”

“It’s awesome!”

After finishing the wine, he threw the bottle far away, and then finished the other two bottles on the shelf.

After drinking all this wine, a hint of redness appeared on his skin.

“Enough of alcohol for now!”

“It’s time to dig out these rats hiding underground!”

After saying that, he went behind the counter, removed the debris on the floor, and started smashing the floor with his bare hands.

A tunnel leading underground appeared before his eyes.

Although the tunnel was completely pitch black, this did not affect his movements.

After walking down the tunnel for about ten minutes, it became very spacious.

Continuing to walk along the dark passage, he saw many doors after a few minutes.

When he opened the first one, he found that a room for storing wine with no one inside.

The next one was also a storage room.

After searching for a while, he finally found a spacious room among the last few doors.

There were also a few people left in the room who were discussing something.

When they heard the door open, the few people at the table all stood up and picked up the long swords hanging on the chairs.

Landel glanced around and realized that these people were really weak physically.

Without even lifting his hand, he said to the few people in the room, “Before I lose my temper, you’d better put away the weapons in your hands!”

“I’m only here to carry out a mission, not to kill you!”

Hearing this, Willis laughed out loud. “All the soldiers in the city have already been killed. Do you think I’ll believe you?”

Looking at the man who spoke first, Landel realized that this man was the Castellan, because the people around him were either very young or were doing things according to his orders.

“Hey! If you weren’t the Castellan, you might have been the first to die!”

“I don’t have much patience right now. Please try to cooperate with me.”

Hearing this, Willis was very unhappy and immediately attacked.

Landel did not even bother to pull out his weapon. He directly crushed the sword in Willis’ hand with his bare hands.

In a flash, he appeared in front of him, grabbed his neck, and pushed him away.

“I’ve already told you!”

“Why won’t you listen?”

“Can you put down your weapons now?”

Seeing this, the other four people in the room immediately put down their weapons, because Landel was now emitting a terrifying aura.

Seeing the four people put down their weapons, he put down Willis, who decided not to struggle anymore.

“Follow me obediently. Don’t even think of escaping.”

“There are zombie patrols everywhere in the city now. If you want to become food for my subordinates, you can go ahead and just run!”

After Willis sat down, he could clearly see Landel’s face through the light of the candle.

Although his skin had undergone a huge change, his face was still the same as before.

Willis stood up and took two steps back. “You are the Sacred Knight Giles Landel!”

Hearing this, Landel became unhappy.

“I am no longer Landel of the Holy Court, but the Dark Knight Landel, who is the subordinate of the Supreme High Lord of Undead!”

“Please be careful with your words. I do not want to associate myself with those hypocritical humans now!”

Hearing this, Willis’ heart turned cold.. He had never thought that the famous Knight Landel would end up like this!
