The building above the basent was a two-story structure that had been used as a storefront before the Church converted it, based on what he saw through his summons. The windows on the ground floor were boarded up from the inside, and the door had been reinforced with iron bars. It looked abandoned from the outside—exactly what the Church would have wanted.
Reidar climbed the stairs, stepping over the body of a Church mber who had been killed on the landing, and erged into a ground-floor room that had been gutted and turned into an office. Desks. Maps were pinned to the walls, and stacks of docunts covered every surface.
Through the windows, Reidar could see the streets of Kingsgate.
It was the middle of the day at that point, which was problematic since many civilians were out hunting. Despite this, the streets weren't empty. He could see the people who were going about their business, stopping to stare at the undead soldiers marching past them.
A woman with a child pulled the kid behind a market stall and crouched down, whispering for silence. A group of n reached for weapons, while an elderly man stumbled backward into a doorway.
There was sothing common about all these people: they were utterly shocked, confused, and scared about the monsters Reidar's summons were streaming into the streets. The fear ca from the monsters themselves, but the confusion ca because the monsters were utterly ignoring them, at least most of them.
They were still fighting the church mbers, although finding them was not simple.
The undead marched past the survivors without a second look, heading toward the Church locations that Reidar had marked in the Overmind Consciousness's network.
Through the perk, Reidar saw what was going on. The Night-Stalker Assassins had already hit three safe houses, and the Church mbers inside were dead. The Juggernauts had reached the first warehouse and were breaking down the doors.
The Demon-Lords were advancing towards the second and third warehouses, maintaining a low altitude over the rooftops to prevent excessive panic among the civilian population. Reidar surmised that the ship had already set sail when a four-ter Inferno Tyrant materialized over the eastern market district.
However, at that point, Reidar didn't care that much. The Aegis Phalanx could ask questions later, but he still had to warn them to avoid a bloodbath. Though the only thing that mattered was stopping the Church before they distributed the food and securing the city.
But that wasn't the first thing to do. Not for Reidar.
He reached out through the Overmind Consciousness and connected to the closest group of summons—a squad of Night-Stalker Assassins and four Spectral Legion Arch-Mages.
