The Human Giant

The Blazing Army's generals huddled as they re-read the information that had been provided to them.

"Drew, are you sure you have told us everything?" One of the generals spoke with a deep voice as hot air rushed out.Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m nov𝒆lb(i)n.c(o)m

"Yes, I have told you everything that happened that day and everything that had been on my son's letter."

"Hpmh! This is barely any information at all. We know that we are facing the undead but there are several types of undead zombies. Are we facing the ones created by Immortal or witches? Maybe it's created by the environment because a corpse hasn't been firmly dug. There are so many different types that it will affect our strategy." The general's dissatisfaction was clear to everyone, but they knew what this general wanted was unreasonable.

Not only was it physically impossible to put all the information that this general wanted on a slip of paper. But they had low expectations that a martial arts enthusiast had a great amount of knowledge on supernatural entities.

"General Gold, there is no use in hounding this old man as we aren't going to get any more useful information anyways. We are going to stick with the plan we came up with. We will surround the town and then have a squad check out the situation inside before reporting back." The general paused as he added another sentence.

"And if possible rescue Scholar Yoze."

Drew Thunder, Yoze's father, frowned as he didn't like the fact that these generals were putting the life of his son as a non priority. Still there was nothing he could do to change these men's minds and could only pray that Yoze makes it out alive.

The Blazing Army's Generals confirmed their plan once more before shouting orders to their soldiers.

"Move out and surround the town! Don't let anything escape regardless of how harmless it looks!"

"Squad 3 head inside the town and check out the situation before reporting back in half an hour!"

The trained soldiers immediately followed their generals orders and headed out to surround Emerald Town.

"Aaaahhhh!"

It wasn't long since the generals gave out their orders before an ear bleeding scream echoed out of the town. This scream made the generals go on alert and they immediately changed their plans and shouted.

"Stop! Change course for Emerald Town! Exterminate every undead!"

The devilish scream made the generals hearts heavy as they could tell that whatever creature had made that noise was strong. It was also filled with an intense emotion of anger and loss which made the generals think that their plan had been caught on by the monster and was planning on fleeing.

"We can't allow that thing to escape or the City will be endangered!"

The generals climbed onto their Flame Horses and charged straight into town along with the soldiers. The vibrations caused by hundreds of horse hooves slamming into the earth created a mini earthquake.

The Blazing Army soldiers entered the town and faced the hundreds of zombies that had left their building and were in plain sight. Something that puzzles the soldiers that many of the zombies were running away from them.

However that wasn't much of a concern for them as their sole mission right now was the extermination of the undeads. The first layer of soldiers pulled out their iron sword that had turned red from immense heat coming from the soldiers hands and slashed at the zombies on top of their horses.

"Die!"

The voices of dozens of soldiers echoed through the town's streets as they slashed at the zombies necks. Cutting through them as if they were cutting butter with a 1000 degree knife.

The soldiers' shouts that rumbled through the town seemed to have awakened the zombies that fresh prey had arrived at their doorsteps causing hundreds of zombies to stop running and turn around for the soldiers.

The battle between the soldiers and the zombies could only be described as a massacre as the zombies fell in droves and their corpses crushed by the horses as they launched a crusade.

The smell of burned flesh filled the air as the soldiers wreaked havoc. However, suddenly one of the zombies bite one of Solider's horse and the horse that had been birthed and trained to have crazy endurance dropped to the ground almost immediately as if it lost all its energy.

The sudden loss of his horse threw the Soldier's balance off and caused him to fall into a crowd of zombies. Several zombies bite into the soldier's armor and take out large chunks with their teeth exposing the soldier's skin.

The Soldier that had lost his horse and armor didn't panic as every Soldier in the Blazing Army had reached the peak of third rate martial artist's and was able to defend himself against the odds.

Even without his horse and armor the Soldier cut through the crowd of zombies and almost made it back to the line of protection behind his fellow soldiers. However, the Soldier suddenly stopped as he coughed up blood. He looked down to see that an arm had pierced through his chest and grabbed his heart.

The Soldier knew he was going to die and had a burst of potential to swing his burning sword to the zombie that had killed him. This zombie was a young woman in her twenties wearing ordinary clothes and her deathly pale skin, murky eyes, and second mouth placed at her neck showed that she was part of the undead that had mutated.

The Soldier's last attack that he had released with everything he had chopped off of the zombie's arm and sank into her shoulder but she didn't flinch with the sword in her body burning her flesh from the inside.

The soldier's death had provoked the anger of the army's soldiers as they all focused on killing that female zombie. For them to lose an elite Soldier was a terrible loss for them and hurt their prestigious status.

Under their focused attacks the female zombie that had managed to mutate was quickly dismembered and her body crushed.
