After I died, my personal maid rebelled.

Leia, now free to see the light of day, kept running. The protective shield around the palace disappeared and reappeared, this time covering the entire royal city.

The residents on the streets, still immersed in the celebration, were unaware of what it all meant.

The guards at the city gate were the first to notice the anomaly. They struck the light barrier with their weapons, but after a slight ripple, the barrier remained completely undamaged.

Although the exact cause of the incident is unknown, from this moment on, the royal city has become a besieged city.

Those outside cannot enter, and those inside cannot escape.

The old garrison soldier sat calmly by the wall, smoking a cigarette, and reassured everyone, "It's probably just another coup, but it has nothing to do with us."

The joyous celebrations continued, but Rhea found herself in grave danger.

She tripped over something while running, and in a panic, she quickly turned to shield her child before falling. But before she could get up, a sharp pain shot through her ankle.

Leia propped herself up on her elbows and looked down. She was immediately horrified. It was none other than a section of an arm that was moving.

The shattered body slowly came together, and the bloodstains scattered on the ground seemed to revert back to human form.

A head roared at Leia, who, in a frenzy, kicked off the arm at her ankle. Ignoring her cuts, she hurriedly got up, grabbed her child, and ran away.

Behind her, corpses were gradually rising, their eyes glowing red, gripping their knives and guns tightly.

Leia cautiously arrived at the fork in the road, intending to escape the palace through the hidden passage, but she happened to run into several soldiers who had come back to life nearby.

She quickly retreated into the bushes. Fortunately, the baby in her arms was too weak to cry, which prevented any trouble.

Seeing the soldiers whose bodies were being reconstructed letting out soft growls as they slowly walked toward her, Leia, who didn't even have time to catch her breath, could only turn her gaze to the empty road on the other side.

Having been familiar with the layout of the palace, she knew what was there and had an idea in mind.

Before the soldiers arrived, Leia quickly used the cover of the woods and bushes to stealthily move to the other side.

At the end of the road, she finally saw the iron fence.

After glancing around, Leia first slipped the baby through a gap less than 30 centimeters high, then quickly climbed up, scaled the fence, and picked up the child, standing on the high bank.

Below is a pond surrounding the garden, and living in the garden is the mother bear who gave birth to cubs after mating.

Frank mostly left the animal care chores to Leia. The zookeepers also warned Leia never to approach a mother bear that had given birth to cubs.

But Leia had no choice but to gamble; this was the safest place she could find, and she had to gamble on the bond between the mother bear and her.

After all, in addition to taking care of the pregnant princess, the pregnant mother bear also received meticulous care from Leia.

Most importantly, Rhea, still a young girl, was worried that the baby in her arms would starve to death...

Without time to ponder why the cows kept producing milk, Leia made up her mind that as long as she could get through the day, she would find another opportunity to leave with the baby later that night.

Taking a deep breath, Leia gently covered the baby's mouth and nose in her arms, closed her eyes, and jumped into the pool.

……

Boom!Boom!Boom!

After the fighting stopped, a violent banging came from the palace gates.

After losing their king as their leader, most of the soldiers deserted, but a small number of the royal guards remained loyal to their duty of protecting the people.

The residents, finally realizing that something big had happened in the palace, fled back home. Even now, they still thought it was just a coup d'état by the upper echelons.

But soon, news of the city being sealed off and the curse breaking out spread like wildfire throughout the streets and alleys.

The city gates were crowded with soldiers and residents. They tried everything they could, even assembling battering rams, but they still couldn't budge the light shield even a little.

Adventurers and mages rushed over, but their dazzling magical light and sharp slashes all failed.

Fear spread in the silence; they...had indeed lost all avenues of retreat.

The guards who were still reinforcing the palace gates would only occasionally glance at them with disdain.

At first, there was only a brief period of calm, but for some reason, fighting broke out again in the palace, and everyone felt a sense of foreboding.

As the sound of ramming the door echoed, raising clouds of dust, a young general drew his sword and shouted, "Brothers, for the kingdom! For His Majesty, we have nowhere left to retreat!"

Boom!

The moment the gate was smashed open, the human soldiers roared in unison, looking at their former comrades in astonishment, or rather... the humanoid monsters whose bodies were covered in cracks.

A fierce battle immediately broke out, and in the face of danger, humanity once again demonstrated its courage and fighting spirit.

Like crashing waves, crimson spray surged and churned in the collision, but the sea of ​​blood eventually overflowed the dam, and the human soldiers, transformed into monsters, displayed even greater combat power.

Even with multiple bullet wounds, they continued to fight. Coupled with their numerical advantage, the last obstacle to the royal city vanished in blood in less than three minutes.

A crimson gaze swept across the streets, and the slaughter began. The largest city in human history once again wailed in despair.

Kill! Kill!

The monster soldiers had only one goal: to slaughter every human in their path. They stormed into every resident's home, unleashing a bloodbath with their efficient killing spree.

One after another, grotesque heads were thrown out of the windows, and elderly people and children with mobility issues lay in pools of blood on the streets.

In the chaos, only stray cats and dogs escaped because they were ignored. Seeing this, the bard played his last song.

"This marks the end of an age of hope; suffering, you have never conquered mankind!"

The blood-stained violin fell to the ground, adding a gradually fading noise to the wailing sounds that filled the air.

Those who finally realized that the war was against all of humanity, as if suddenly awakened, left the city gates and threw themselves into the war against the monsters.

More and more rebels appeared in every corner, and the human camp once again had a front. Claude, the gray-haired and bearded president of the Adventurers' Guild, quickly became their leader.

Claude quickly flipped through the documents and found the Book of the Dead, compiled by the Archbishop and others. It recorded various undead races and their corresponding weaknesses.

"Use the streets to form a defensive line, use fire, and burn them to death with flames!"

Claude issued orders methodically. His biggest regret was that none of the Association's three ace fighters were in the royal city.

And what the hell is that bunch of bastards from the Mage's Association doing?! They don't even have any decent people left behind!

"Summon all the nobles' mercenaries, the academy students, and the warriors of the common people, and tell them that we have no way out but to fight!"
