Chapter 1246. Springing the Ambush

At the sharp corner beside the cliff where Jack and the others were waiting, they heard the sound of footsteps. It wasn't steady steps that characterized the soldiers' march. The sound was more akin to a panic run from a mob. It was hasty footsteps and they were getting louder.

Soon, a figure appeared from the corner. It was a draconian soldier, but the soldier's scales were grey and dull. Its eyes were lifeless. It was a zombie unit.

Others soon appeared. They were running at such a high speed that their feet skidded on the ground before they managed to turn. One or two even couldn't stop their momentum and ended up tumbling past the edge and falling to the marshland below.

'Why the rush…?' Jack thought. Then he thought probably because Master knew Aldryth was close, so he sent these zombie soldiers to chase at maximum speed to pin her down so their main army could catch up.

Unfortunately for them, an obstacle was waiting for them.
