I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1183 Zombie Orbs

"I have a link with my people, and I just felt their excitement moments ago," Loran was still feeling awkward, as he felt more like an outsider not welcomed among us, "and so I came to ask lord to check over their progress out there."

Seeing his joy getting crushed by our unexpected reaction, I sighed. "Ok, let me see what happened back there."

I felt bad for him. Such a great piece of news should be received by another reaction other than this tense one.

So to make up for him, I reluctantly opened the feed of the world of zombies and inspected things happening out there.

Just like what I expected, the scattered zombie dens across the entire zone I could see already vanished. Instead of the cities and towns filled with darkness like the first time I saw them, the towns and cities regained their previous shape and appearance.

Of course these places were left in utter destruction, but at least the five portals above them appeared again. That meant my forces could simply control these portals and link that world with this one.

When I looked closer, I saw something flashing out there. I expected before to see old zombies walking out from their slumber after this method succeeded.

But when I looked, I found not a single zombie or living creature inside any town or city.

In return I found some brightly lit red and black orbs left there. In each town and city I could find one of these orbs.

Each orb was almost ten metres in diameter. They didn't look that big, but they weren't that small either. And aside from the bright colour flashing from these, I noticed a thick layer of fog released from these orb like surging flames.

"What? Did they succeed?" Loran asked while trying to sound very happy about that. Yet I felt like he wasn't.

"Something seems off…" I frowned before describing what I found out there.

"Oh, that can also happen," he paused before explaining, "if the zombies from our race slept for so long, their bodies and souls would melt together with the core of the dens, turning into these orbs."

"And?" I turned to look at the feed again before returning to Loran, "what's the use of these orbs? Can we use them to wake up these zombies? Or they are now dead?"

"They are long dead," even when he spoke about his deceased kin, he didn't sound that sad or depressed. In fact he gave me the impression he was already expecting something like that to happen.

"So they are dead… What about these orbs then? Are they some sort of explosives?" I recalled the shape of grenades invented by the research department and felt it would be awesome to have such explosive orbs.

"No, they can't be used that way," he paused and when he noticed my impatient look, he added, "they can be used for a single purpose; making zombie dens."

"This…" I frowned, "are you telling me these orbs can be used to make zombie dens? I paid such a price to crush these zombie dens. And you are telling me they can be remade again?"

"Lord can decide to crush them to finally get rid of these zombie dens," he paused before adding in a serious tone, "but doing so will be a big loss in my opinion."

"Why? I just want to crush these dens once and for all," I shrugged before adding, "inform your men to crush them. I don't want such risky items to be within the borders of my kingdom. God knows what will happen if a few orbs were wrongly used and released dens in the middle of my forces out there."

"But lord… This is a grave mistake…" he seemed to struggle for a moment before finally explaining, "you can drop your blood over these, binding these to your will. If you use these orbs, they can release zombies which can follow your orders to the letter. They will be loyal and never betray you under any circumstances."

"Oh… Are you sure about that?" my eyes shone with excitement when I heard that. I knew this might seem crazy, but if he was sure of it then this would turn into great news.

"I'm sure about that," he nodded in a firm way, "not only that. After the lord binds this with blood, the lord can use these orbs to assault the dens we haven't yet conquered. After some time, we can upgrade the level of the zombies coming out from the dens formed by these dens."

"They can be used in such a way?" I was more surprised by this, and suddenly I recalled the great dens which had given me a headache before.

"They can level up infinitely, but we have to use the same method as before."

I got what he meant by that. By using his zombie one hundred men groups to purge and purify these dens, and by using these orbs in the process, these orbs could absorb the energy from the dens and upgrade.

Or that was what I guessed.

"That will be for later time," I suddenly turned to everyone as I said in great excitement, "I found a way to solve this problem once and for all."

"The zombie problem?!" Legend asked in doubt, and I shook my head.

"The problem of Hescos," I walked a few steps forward, stomping my feet over the drawing on the ground before adding, "this problem."

My words were shocking for all of them. They looked at me in a weird way and I smiled in triumph. I knew my words came out of the blue, and they didn't get what I was thinking about.

"Send people out there," I said to Isac, "let them control the portals over these towns and cities. Then they will move these orbs over to me."

"But…" Isac looked at everyone before fixing her gaze over me, "what will we do with these orbs?"
