1122 Zombie Wave Tactic
We did what?!!!
The Hector continent armies… All the settlements we had there… We lost contact with them just now!
I looked at the distressed messages sent by Isac and roughly guessed what happened.
Ok, I’ll go and check things there by myself. Also how about the other three new continents in the south? Any bad news from there?
Not yet… They are still trying to fight these creatures back
I looked around and guessed what it was like everywhere in my kingdom. The tsunami of these ugly looking zombies wasn’t easy to counter.
Even with millions of my respectful warriors, facing this wave was indeed hard to counter.
However the situation in the capital wasn’t that bad! With all these defensive buildings and preparations, things weren’t that bad.
The tall walls provided a foothold for my forces and with the help of the defensive towers and weapons, a large number of zombies were killed or pushed away with each passing second.
The zombies grew up to form endless waves like the entire capital got sunken under the ocean. I looked at the general situation before taking out my staff and inwardly sighed.
I knew it was going to be tough. But even after all this time spent in preparation and accumulation, wasn’t it even enough?
This quest was indeed the shed mark of strength accumulated during the past quests. I got a vague feeling about the real purpose behind this quest.
It was like the system higher ups purposefully kept this quest running to mess with all the plans done by the advanced races.
It was like they were saying this: Do you think you got the upper hand thanks to your background? Watch everything you schemed to gain crumble under the mightiness of the zombies!
In front of such merciless attack, nothing could stand erect, nothing could escape unscathed, not even me and my forces.
Sigh!
I opened a portal and moved through it. The location I selected wasn’t nothing but the place of the last battle where I slain that king of this race.
The moment I appeared there, I took in everything that was happening at the ground and my heart couldn’t stop trembling.
What the heck was that?!
The place of this last epic battle was once before the heart and core of the entire continent’s civilization. It was a grand capital, with many outstanding walls and fearful looking defensive towers.
I came here and fought a desperate battle against that king and his forces. In the end I managed to crush everything standing in my path using brute strength and secured victory.
The place was left with deep wounds from such an epic fight. Walls were taken down and missed large portions of their initial formidable appearance.
Defensive towers were crushed, buildings were demolished. Yet it seemed Isac placed a great importance on this place as she worked her best to restore it to its prime.
I couldn’t blame her for that. After all this place had deep foundations and enough base to transform into a strong and mighty stronghold here.
Saying it wasn’t far off from my capital wasn’t an exaggeration. But that meant nothing in front of the grand zombie invasion.
As I expected, the bitter the fight happening at a place the more terrifying the number of zombies appearing at it. Right now, this place, which witnessed the fall of hundreds of millions of people, was already covered up in thick layers of those ugly looking zombies.
They came out from every single pore of the ground and started to crawl up their way to cover even the mighty and tall looking walls.
The defences here looked like paper and glass in front of them. It was like the defences here would take out millions of enemies at any time. But faced with these hundreds of millions and even billions of crazy zombies, the entire place fell under deadly silence and horrifying despair.
Want to know what fear was like? Come and get yourself down there and see if standing in front of all these zombies wasn’t enough to instigate the true meaning of fear inside you.
Even with the large number of forces stationed here, numbering in millions, I was sure everyone down there was feeling like he was standing alone and facing the grand prestige of the world without any help.
Brute strength was indeed the magical solution against any obstacle and tactic. However in such a situation, it was one of the extremely rare occurrences where strength would fail, even courage would pale.
Brute strength was the solution? Then how about facing such an irresistible and unshakable dreadful enemy like zombies? Tsk! This quest was going out of hand even at the first few minutes of it!
This was the capital of the Hectors! A place that was already on par with my kingdom’s capital in terms of defences and troops stationed here.
If such a place ended up in such a way, how about the other places in the continent? During that war, the death grinder machine of this confrontation didn’t just stop here.
There were still many places left with endless corpses. Just the basins where the grand battles happened for the legendary guardian monsters were enough to give birth to endless streams of zombies.
Damn! The more brutal one acted in the past quests the harder it would get to deal with the fifth quest.
Was it the retaliation prepared by the system higher ups against cheaters of the other big races? Dudes! You accidentally misfired against me as well! And I wasn’t a cheater to begin with, I was just a mere anomaly.
No matter how bitter and unjust I felt, I couldn’t change this desperate situation by mere thoughts.
“First things first… It’s good I chose to jump here. This place isn’t just the biggest place with defences in the entire continent, but also it’s the core. With clearing the zombies here and stabilising the situation, I can send out forces to clear the continent bit by bit…”
I muttered to myself while using the huge stock of warriors I gained so far. After all these years of accumulation, saying that warriors were the biggest forces in my entire kingdom wasn’t an exaggeration.
I didn’t randomly summon them around or else I’d just be freely giving more seeds to these troublesome dudes down there. I selected the central part of this grand city and summoned all of my warriors there.
Like a bomb exploded, the place I started summoning at started to grow in scale and extended to cover more areas fast. The clash between the two sides was already intense from the start.
The sudden appearance of life forms attracted the attention of every single zombie here. Without the need for my forces to do anything, just by being there and breathing was enough to attract all the zombies.
Standing on top of my chariot made me see this overwhelming and unforgettable scene unfolding in front of my eyes.
From far away I could see all the zombies leaving everything they were doing, turning around and moving in tacit understanding towards one direction, my warriors.
If they were just a regular army then they’d move in waves formed out of proper lines. Organisation and order were the most fundamental features of any regular army.
However for such hideous creatures, order and organisation didn’t even exist! They came in their fastest speed, driven by their deepest and irresistible desire to devour life.
To them it was like a frantic race. They didn’t just run normally and instead they started to clash against each other, climb over others’ bodies, and even formed a grand series of mighty looking walls that drove towards one single direction; here.
Seeing this was just like watching a tsunami unfolding and coming towards land. Even the hundred metres height walls paled in front of such grand waves of zombies.
They looked scary, but that didn’t pose a threat to me. What the f*ck was the logic behind such a tactic?
“Scram!” without even waiting for them to arrive, I simply moved my chariot fast and came closer to the first gigantic wall. The next moment I used the pulse wave attack of my chariot and sent the wall trembling and crushing on the ground.
What the f*ck was cool about coming at my men in such a way? You looked majestic moments ago with all this grand wall that was drawing closer to my forces.
But with a single punch, the entire wall fragmented and fell to the ground. The zombies fell and crawled over each other, hindering their advance and posing an obstacle to the beyond waves as well.
At the same time, like a domino the rest of the wall started to crumble and fall. A massive rounded hill appeared in this region and it was hundreds of metres above the ground.
“Next,” seeing how this simple trick was effective, I didn’t stand idle and started moving again. I bypassed the second wave and headed towards the third and used the same attack.
Like this, the entire grand capital was transformed into circular rings of hills that had empty spaces inside. The waves that came crashing at these hills were deformed and lost their momentum, fell into chaos and landed into the ground.
The gaps between these circular hills got covered up with zombies, however it wasn’t enough to cross the hundreds metres distance and formed some sort of basins in between the hills.
“Come forth!” As I messed with their mighty and terrifying formation, which was just formed by simple instincts and not intelligence or training, I started to summon lots of my warriors in the basin zones.
This was the perfect moment to start a wide hunt all over this place. The zombies lost their momentum and edge. They couldn’t even free themselves from the fall and other zombies crashing down over them.
Only few over the surface got the chance to crave for the blood and flesh of my warriors.
