1905 Surge
Indeed, the strength of those zombie creatures was quite unusual.
But what did it matter?
Just a bit of flesh?
In Miles’ view, these creatures were nothing more than moving targets!
It wasn’t worth it for him to personally intervene.
Perhaps due to the news of Fang Heng’s appearance, the Holy Court had placed extra importance, prompting Miles to come personally.
Miles shifted his gaze to the direction where the zombies were gathered.
There weren’t many zombies left on the battlefield, and only a large group remained in that area.
Was the person controlling the zombies there?
Miles released his perception, but he still didn’t detect any special undead aura.
“Let’s go and take a look!” Miles thought.
“Follow me!” Miles commanded loudly. “Tear them apart!”
“Roar!”
The morale of the Holy Court knights surged, and they followed Miles as they charged toward the gathering of zombies!
Not far ahead, where a substantial number of zombies had gathered.
The few players captured by Fang Heng became nervous upon seeing a high-tier party from the Holy Court join the battle, charging straight toward the center of their area.
“The Holy Court’s reinforcements have arrived. So many legions…”
“It seems to be the elite knights of the Holy Court.”
“Hurry! Send a message to Fang Heng!” Jasmin said urgently.
Players hurriedly activated the survival radio to send a message to Fang Heng requesting support.
The call for help had just been broadcast through the survival radio when a player suddenly noticed something, pointing to the right side of the military fortress in the distance.
“What the heck? Zombie team reinforcements?”
On the city wall, the imperial uncle was personally overseeing the battle.
The Holy Court knights had charged into the front lines, about to annihilate the zombies outside the canyon. Suddenly, a soldier rushed to report to the imperial uncle, “Imperial Uncle, not good! Undead creatures have been discovered on the right side of the No. 3 military fortress!”
“What?” The right side of the fortress?”
The imperial uncle was shocked.
That was strange.
Wasn’t that place the heartland of Jones Kingdom?
Why would undead creatures appear from there?
The imperial uncle suddenly had a sense of impending doom. He grabbed the binoculars from a soldier and turned his gaze to the right.
Through the binoculars, a sizable group of undead creatures appeared on the horizon, forming a swaying black line as they slowly surged toward the military fortress.
What the hell!
Indeed, it was the undead creatures!
Why were undead creatures emerging from the heartland of Jones Kingdom?
Could it be connected to the Licker team that breached the border?
Could it be…
A cold sweat broke out on the imperial uncle’s forehead as a terrifying thought emerged from the depths of his mind.
Could it be that the heartland of Jones Kingdom had already…
Below the city wall, Anthea, leading the heavy-armored knights in battle, also noticed the large undead team approaching from the right rear to provide support. Surprise filled her eyes.
So many zombies?
After over an hour of continuous battle, the heavy-armored knights had been charging back and forth, depleting much of their stamina. Most of them were already in a state of fatigue.
With the recent arrival of Holy Court reinforcements, Anthea had just commenced to relax. Originally, she thought she would only assist the Holy Court, boosting their momentum and enjoying an easy fight without draining too much stamina.
However, seeing another large group of creatures entering the battlefield, the situation became uncertain once again.
How should she decide?
Anthea signaled the team to slow down and reassess the battlefield.
The Holy Court knights showed no intention of retreating. They charged straight towards the undead gathering.
“Let’s retreat!”
Anthea made a quick decision and ordered the team to fall back.
This time, the Holy Court knights were exceptionally powerful, all of them being elite warriors with ample stamina.
However, the strength of the undead creatures was equally formidable.
The Holy Court knights might be able to charge head-on, but they couldn’t. Such a direct assault held no meaning for them. Even if she led her subordinates onto the battlefield, it wouldn’t change the situation. Carelessness could even guide the heavy-armored knight brigade into a dilemma.
Considering the risk and reward, Anthea decided to retreat with her team.
On the city wall, witnessing Anthea’s knights pulling back, the imperial uncle’s fury intensified. He glared at Anthea.
What did she mean?
He had just ordered a full-scale attack, and Commander Anthea had already withdrawn with her troops.
Was she intentionally challenging him?
Was she deliberately provoking him?
Seeing the imperial uncle’s dark expression, no one dared to speak.
After a while, someone finally offered a word of advice. “Imperial uncle, Commander Anthea has rich battle experience. There must be a reason for her retreat. Please don’t be angry.”
“Angry? What’s there to be angry about? The heavy armored knights are fatigued from continuous battles. They can’t continue the fight. Can’t we proceed without them?” The imperial uncle snorted coldly, his tone icy. “Never mind them! Where are the reserves? And the player army, charge together! Take them down in one go!”
“Yes!”
As they spoke, the gates of the three military fortresses swung open, and all the remaining forces of Jones Kingdom surged forward, launching an assault on the zombie army outside.
As Anthea led her knights in retreat, she coincidentally witnessed the Jones Kingdom forces rushing out.
“That fool…”
Anthea understood it was likely the imperial uncle who issued the attack order. She couldn’t help but sigh once more. She directed the heavy-armored knights to enter the fortress for a rest and immediately took a few trusted aides to the main fortress to locate the imperial uncle, hoping to persuade him to stand down.
At this moment, the Holy Court army led by Miles had already charged into the undead team at the canyon entrance!
The first wave of the charge!
Under the effects of Charge, the holy spears in the knights’ hands collided with the zombies, piercing through them and instantly killing a sizable number.
The Holy Court’s honorary knights were no less formidable than Jones Kingdom’s heavy-armored knights. Even with the protection of the Holy God Shield, the honorary knights were sturdier and had higher damage output.
However, all cavalry units faced a similar challenge. After the initial powerful charge, the efficiency of killing zombies began to slow down.
This departed Miles dissatisfied.
The zombie creatures were proving more challenging than anticipated!
A knight’s spear imbued with holy power could cause a lot of damage to them, but their recovery ability was equally terrifying! Even if his head was chopped off, he could continue fighting!
The moment the cavalry’s charge was slowed down, their lethality was reduced by half.
