The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 204

Episode 204 Siege and Defense of Kranos (1)

This cannot continue.

Everyone will die.

Even after being killed, you will not enjoy rest. You will be turned into a zombie by the hands of an evil warlock. You will be a puppet forever.

Even my granddaughter.

“….”

A man who was once called the head of the top.

Tulun, the 3 to 700 man, clenched his fists. Inside the window he was looking at was his granddaughter. The precious, one and only child in the world was crying and being held by the nanny, terrified.

As soon as I saw it, I realized it.

It can’t stay like this.

Something needs to be done.

‘Even if I become a zombie!’

Tulun felt his dead heart beating urgently. Thanks to becoming undead, I could feel it with my whole body. The dark magician Kartu’s army has completely surrounded the city. The walls will soon fall. The undead army will flood into the city.

It must be stopped before that happens.

“….”

Tulun looked around. Coincidentally, there was no one in the backyard. It was because the servants all ran away in confusion due to the unexpected invasion in the middle of the night.

Just like that, I saw an old cloak hanging in one corner of the messy backyard. It was a large cloak used as a raincoat. He put on his cloak without hesitation. With that, the disguise was easily completed.

‘This should be enough.’

No one would bother to lift up their cloak in such a mess. No one will recognize that they are zombies.

Feeling relieved, Tulun left the backyard carefully but quickly. At the last moment of leaving the mansion, I stopped for a moment and looked back.

‘Goodbye. ‘Our chick.’

I hope your precious granddaughter is safe. May God’s blessings rest on that child. He prayed sincerely and then walked away. I went out onto the main street.

The city was already at the peak of chaos. Countless people were running here and there. Someone was carrying luggage in a hurry to escape. Someone else came out pulling a cart. Some people tried to run so quickly that they crashed into them and were thrown around.

But no one was able to get out of the city. It was natural. Because all directions, north, south, east and west, were surrounded by undead legions. Because all the gates are blocked. It was like a bunch of rats trapped in a jar thrown into flames.

So Tulun had to worry for a moment.

‘Then where is the most critical place now?’

Of the four city gates in the north, south, east and west, which is the closest to being captured? It briefly awakened my senses as a zombie. Thanks to this, I was able to easily find the answer.

‘…North Gate.’

There was a feeling of the largest number of zombies of our kind coming from the northern gate. Naturally, this would be the place where the fall was most imminent. It was from the moment I sensed it. Zombie Tulun’s steps became faster.

I squeezed through the gaps between people running here and there in fear and ran through the main streets and alleys toward the North Gate. We finally arrived at the northern gate. The situation was more serious than expected.

“Oh my…”

A devastated groan came from the mouth of Zombie Tulun, who looked up at the castle tower above the castle gate. It was literally on the verge of collapse. No, it was almost in a state of collapse.

Dozens of reinforced zombies have already occupied the castle walls. The few remaining officers and soldiers were seen fighting back fiercely. But that didn’t seem to last long. There was no time.

“Sigh!”

Zombie Tulun ran again. I jumped up the stairs inside the castle wall in one go. The last few defenders reached the top of the walls, where they attempted a desperate resistance. There, he took off the cloak that had concealed his identity until now.

“Cruruwook-!”

He roared on purpose.

Most zombie-like.

Even more ferocious.

The response to that action came back immediately.

“…What?”

The last five defenders, desperately trying to prevent the complete fall of the castle walls, looked back. I was shocked and shocked when I found out who this person was.

Of course, that was the response Tulun had hoped for.

‘Good.’

It’s as I thought.

Zombie Tulun was very satisfied and kicked the ground. He rushed towards the terrified defenders.

“Gwaeok-!”

“What?”

The defenders’ response showed a look of bewilderment. It wasn’t too much of a stretch. It was natural because while they were only dealing with the enemies in front of them who had climbed up the castle wall, they were suddenly ambushed from behind.

But Tulun didn’t care.

“Gwaaak!”

He shouted even more ferociously and charged. The quadriceps muscles, which contributed greatly to achieving 700 kilograms for the third time, provided explosive propulsion. The soldiers approached half a beat faster than they could swing their swords. He waved his arms like an animal.

“Grook!”

Cheonggang-!

His overwhelming strength knocked the soldier’s sword aside. Immediately after that, he hit the soldiers with his shoulder.

Quang!

“Oops!”

“Ugh!”

The soldiers lost strength fell down. A look of despair appeared on the soldiers’ faces. But Tulun did not give them a chance to respond. Before the other zombies could attack the soldiers, they threw their entire bodies away as if they were cutting in line. It attacked the soldiers.

“Kwaaak-!”

“Ahh!”

Soldiers screaming desperately as if they sensed their own demise. Tulun whispered quickly, pretending to bite them even more viciously.

“Shh. I’m a zombie, but I’m on your side. “I won’t kill you, so just pretend to die for me.”

“…uh? yes?”

“hurry!”

“…Ugh!”

I noticed it quickly. The soldiers, who were momentarily dazed, seemed to have realized something and immediately showed satisfactory reactions(?).

It was from then on.

Zombie Tulun truly put his all into acting.

“Kwaaagh! Guruk! “Grooruruk!”

I deliberately turned my eyes white. It roared more fiercely than other zombies like a mad dog and pretended to bite the soldiers. At that momentum, the zombies of the undead army were so embarrassed that they gave up their soldiers to him.

The soldiers, who fully understood the atmosphere, responded with all their might.

“Ugh!”

“Gagging! “Uh… ugh!”

I risked my life and pretended to die. On the other hand, I watched the undead army of zombies. Did the acting work?

It seemed like that. The zombies of the legion quickly became indifferent to the soldiers. This was thanks to Tulun pretending to attack the soldiers and getting his saliva all over their clothes and armor. The zombies of the legion recognized the soldiers as zombies through the smell of Tulun-covered saliva.

‘done.’

Tulun internally clenched his fists. Fortunately, things were going as expected. So now it’s time to take the next step. That’s why I saved the soldiers.

He whispered lowly and quickly to the fallen soldiers.

“Now then, everyone act like they turned into zombies because of me. hurry.”

I paid close attention.

Fortunately, the soldiers quickly understood what that meant. Why do zombies save themselves? No, I didn’t know how he could think and speak like a living person, but right now wasn’t the time for that to matter.

“Gu Grug…! soup!”

“Gruwouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!”

“Grrrrrrrrr! That’s right!”

The five soldiers who barely survived distorted their faces and acted like zombies. Fortunately, the acting skills worked this time too.

Tulun’s next command followed.

“Good, guys. “Now then, come with me and lead those guys down outside the walls.”

“…yes?”

The soldiers’ eyes widened at Zombie Tulun’s words. Zombie Tulun said as if it were obvious.

“Wouldn’t that be a way to save time?”

“….”

The soldiers finally realized. I got a sense of what zombie Tulun was aiming for. The soldiers turned to look at each other. A glance of solemn determination shared for a moment. Soon everyone became of the same mind. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to use one’s life meaningfully, even though one was destined to die anyway.

“Are you ready? Roll! “Gurruk!”

“…yes.”

Everyone nodded.

Zombie Tulun took the lead. It stumbled, walked in a bizarre zombie-like manner, and roared loudly on purpose.

“Gurrrrrrrrgh! “Kwaaagh-!”

More fierce than any zombie. Fiercely. Violent and loud. At the same time, the soldiers responded to his roar.

“Gwaaagh!”

“Whoa! “Aaagh!”

I shouted until I was hoarse. He was an earnest windbreaker. It was thanks to such a desperate heart. The reinforced zombies that had completely taken over the castle walls roared in unison in the atmosphere led by the soldiers. Thanks to this, an atmosphere was briefly created where all the zombies in the area followed Tulun.

Tulun did not miss the moment.

‘Now!’

‘…All right!’

Tulun took the lead and leaned out of the walls. It roared as it climbed down the outer surface of the wall, holding on to a gap in the huge stones that made up the castle wall.

“Gwaaagh! Kowwok!”

It was the roar of an assault.

The soldiers also responded positively.

Trying to calm his shaking legs, he began to crawl down the outside of the castle walls, following Tulun.

He was a wind catcher who put all his effort into it. It was thanks to such initiative(?).

The zombies that occupied the castle walls were swept away by the atmosphere. Following Tulun and the soldiers, he began to crawl down the walls again. Like a swarm of rats following the Pied Piper in ignorance. Like a lemming jumping into the sea following the leader.

Thanks to this, the occupied northern gate was miraculously liberated. Cartu, the real warlock who was commanding the army from afar, had to rub his eyes without realizing it.

♣

“What is that again?”

Cartu frowned. It was strange. The zombie vanguard, which had almost taken over the northern castle gate, was suddenly abandoning the castle walls on its own.

“Tsk. “They’re such idiots.”

Perhaps the command was messed up? Of course, this is the problem with zombies. If you do not give proper orders one by one, the ranks will quickly become entangled or fall into confusion.

Cartu smiled bitterly and unleashed his magic power.

‘Well, I won anyway.’

This war is your victory.

The crown prince and the punitive forces who were trying to catch his tail will still not know the true nature of the trap. That’s because he put a lot of effort into the high-ranking zombie that served as his stand-in. He would have perfectly carried out his pre-determined behavior pattern while using a clever disguise spell.

It would be almost impossible to see through that.

‘There, fight against fake junk zombies and rejoice in your false victory.’

In the meantime, he will capture the city here. We will rip open the stomach of the goose that has raised the undead army. It will turn the geese themselves into an army of zombies.

‘That’s enough. I ended up using a radical method outside of the plan, but this isn’t a bad thing either.’

All you have to do is turn all the city’s citizens into zombies. Then you can be fully satisfied. It becomes worth confronting the empire’s full-scale punitive force that will be dispatched later.

“So march.”

Tsusssss…!

Cartu pointed to the northern gate of Kranos. The magical power that bloomed at his fingertips spread out. It permeated the vanguard reinforced zombies who were confused by Tulun’s fishing lure(?) near the northern gate.

The confusion subsided in an instant.

“Crulook! “Kwaeok!”

The zombies that were coming out of the castle walls turned their direction again. Realizing the situation, Tulun and the soldiers tried their best again, but this time it did not work.

Tulun’s heart sank.

‘Oh my…’

He urgently looked back at the top of the castle wall. Above the castle wall, where he was freed from the zombies, buying himself a moment of time. However, no returning defensive troops were seen. The walls were still empty.

There may be one of two causes.

Everyone is already dead.

Or ran away in fear.

“….”

Then what should I do? If this continues, the zombie army will quickly cross the empty castle walls. They will enter the city and commit indiscriminate massacre. His only granddaughter would be no exception.

Crack!

Tulun made up his mind. You have to fight. That’s the only way left now. Even if my limbs are torn apart. Even if it means going through worse. It was at that moment that I realized that this was the only way to buy at least one minute and one second for my granddaughter to be safe.

“…nuuuuuu-!”

Suddenly, a loud roar rang out from the distant wilderness. Surprised, Tulun looked back to the northwest horizon where the roar was heard. Thanks to you, I was able to find it.

‘Prince?’

Numerous torches were etched on the horizon. The punitive army was rapidly retreating towards this place. A huge bull silhouette was seen at the forefront. I could also catch a glimpse of the outline of a slender figure riding on the back of a bull.

I recognized it the moment I laid eyes on it. A benefactor who awakened his consciousness after being reduced to a mere zombie. It was the crown prince.

Just like that, the moment when zombie Tulun widens his eyes at the return of the subjugating army and the crown prince.

“…we are flying!”

“We’re landing kwiik!”

“It’s falling!”

“No hesitation!”

Coo! bang! Quack!

Elite Orc warriors, with their entire bodies tightly wrapped in wilderness bushes like bubble wrap, and their muscles filled with a fiercer fighting spirit, flew in from somewhere. They attempted an assault operation by crashing onto the empty northern castle wall, or landing(?) with a loud fuselage.

It was a shining moment for Komong, a phantom baby elephant who launched the orcs with highly compressed air, like a catapult for takeoff of an aircraft carrier fighter jet.
