1891 Mixed Forces
Fang Heng, who had been hiding at the back, saw this and his eyes immediately lit up.
This was it!
The moment he had been waiting for!
Having finally managed to defeat a Holy Paladin, Fang Heng swiftly utilized his passive talent skill to convert the fallen corpse.
[Hint: The player zombie clone's passive skill 'Mutant Infection' has been activated. The player has consumed additional energy points and obtained a total of 7 zombie clones (mutants).]
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
What was that sound!?
The Holy Court's knights who were fighting the zombies heard a strange sound coming from their fallen teammate's corpse and looked over.
The corpse quickly decayed, condensing into seven flesh cocoons amid its rot and convulsions.
The flesh cocoons squirmed and rapidly expanded.
What the hell was this disgusting thing!?
Members of the honorary knights of the Holy Court furrowed their brows at the sight.
"Break!"
Urbe bellowed, raising his long sword and thrusting it towards the flesh cocoon!
"Chi!"
Holy light radiated!
The long sword pierced through the entire flesh cocoon in an instant.
A foul green liquid burst forth from the ruptured flesh cocoon.
"Chi, chi, chi..."
Subsequently, a rift appeared in the remaining swiftly enlarging cocoons.
The honorary knights of the Holy Court gazed in astonishment at this grotesque scene unfolding before them.
A zombie creature wriggled out of the flesh cocoon, unsteadily rising to its feet, its body still smeared with green mucus.
That was...
A resurrection skill from the study of necromancy?
He had heard of undead beings being able to enslave the deceased, but this terrifyingly repugnant method?
He never heard before!
The newly born zombies howled, lunging at the knights.
Despite the knights' extensive battle experience, they had never witnessed such a terrifying sight. It couldn't help but send shivers down their spines.
No one would feel good seeing their comrades turning into such unearthly creatures.
The thought of facing such a fate after death instantly shattered their morale.
"Charge out!"
Urbe felt a prickling sensation on his scalp. He yelled, attempting to lead his team in a forceful breakout against the zombie blockade for the seventh time.
But it was too late. The space available to them was far too confined.
In such a limited area, the cavalrymen couldn't execute an accelerated sprint. They barely managed to run a few meters before being obstructed by a dense cluster of zombies.
What should he do?
Urbe's forehead was drenched in sweat, but he couldn't fathom any solution. All he could do was persist, hoping desperately for reinforcements from the rear.
However, deep down, he knew there were no reinforcements coming!
At least ten more minutes had to pass before the next wave of Holy Court troops arrived.
They wouldn't last...
Urbe witnessed each of his comrades falling, only to rise again as servants of the undead, attacking their own.
"Undead!"
Urbe's eyes reddened. With his last ounce of strength, he bellowed and charged ahead.
"Chị!"
With a forceful strike, his spear whooshed out, instantly taking down three zombie clones blocking his path.
That was the limit of his efforts.
After the strike, Urbe glimpsed at the numerous layers of zombie clones blocking behind the fallen ones. A hint of despair flickered in his eyes, gradually fading away.
Buzz...
Urbe's shield dimmed rapidly, finally bursting apart with a bang. "It's finally done..."
Fang Heng had been observing from the sidelines until Urbe fell.
Swiftly, he gathered his hands together in front of him.
"Condense!"
Whoosh!
The Shrine of Bones levitated before him, emitting several gray auras that rushed toward Urbe's soul enveloped in holy light!
"Bang!"
The dark auras collided with Urbe's soul's protective shield, the Holy God Shield, exploding on impact!
Impressive resilience?
Fang Heng raised an eyebrow in surprise. He urged another surge of aura, swiftly entwining Urbe, breaking through the holy light shield, and seizing Urbe's soul, pulling it into the Shrine of Bones.
"Chi!!!"
Urbe's soul was dragged into the Shrine of Bones and eradicated! [Hint: The player destroyed Urbe's soul with the Shrine of Bones, gaining 40 favorability ratings with the necromancy faction.]
[Hint: The player exterminated the honorary knights led by Urbe. You've earned 5600 undead faction contribution points and 10292 Enkama Empire faction contribution points.]ŋǫwęɭђųɭķ.çǫɱ
[Hint: The player's current mission is to Snipe the frontline Holy Court Army. The mission completion rate has increased to -7%. The estimated time remaining for the mission is 68 minutes.]
[Hint: The player's current mission, Rescue Ciboreya (Team), has increased to a completion rate of 0.12%.]
Fang Heng stowed away the Shrine of Bones, surveying the debris left after the battle.
The zombie clones swiftly moved to clear the battlefield, removing the remnants of weapons and armor from the main passage in the canyon.
The entire skirmish lasted for about 10 minutes.
That was just using regular zombie clones to wear them down. If he employed higher-tier Lickers and vine zombies, along with covertly using the vampire's Breed-Boiling Skill to influence the enemy team leader, he could likely increase the kill speed.
Furthermore, due to the Mutation Infection effect, the overall number of zombie clones increased after the battle.
Using conflict to sustain conflict.
His combat endurance remained unaffected!
Fang Heng contemplated silently.
The recent battle had been a mere probe. He had reserved 80% of his potential to guard against unforeseen circumstances and had not unleashed his full offensive.
Now, he could confirm that there were no players among the Holy Court's assault team.
Moreover, after the battle, he could use his necromancy's special ability to obliterate the soul of the Holy Court's team captain. This meant...
In theory, the enemy remained unaware of his ambush.
The plan to intercept the troops could still proceed!
Just a little longer!
"Let's give it a shot!"
Fang Heng moistened his lips lightly, instructing the zombie clones to lie in ambush and patiently await further orders.
As he anticipated, five minutes later, following his patient wait, the second group composed of walking Holy Paladins and priests entered the passage of the canyon.
Excellent!
Fang Heng gently clenched his fist, appraising the incoming team.
The strength and composition of the Holy Court's reinforcements varied when sent to the Enkama Empire.
Previously a knight legion, this time, it comprised ordinary mixed troops.
Onwards!
As the enemy lined up and ventured into the canyon's depths, Fang Heng once again commanded the attack of the zombie clones.
This time, it wasn't solely normal zombies!
Lickers and vine zombies darted out from hidden crevices, hurtling towards the reinforcements!
The battle resumed!
In Willow Town, Li Qingran exerted considerable effort, coordinating with numerous player teams to aid the town's defense against the Holy Court's mixed forces.
Following the successful beheading of the enemy team leader, the Holy Court's team began adjusting their formation, hinting at a retreat.
