Chapter 403: The Beginning of the Fire of War (1/2)

Gan Shuo was holding the shield and his sword tightly. He wanted to make sure that he was not going to lose his grip on his weapon and shield.

Now, the army was stopped a few hundred meters away from what was supposed to be Hangzhou. However, Gan Shuo did not recognize the Hangzhou he was seeing right now.

There was a thirty meters wall or maybe higher that protected the city. He could see the zombies on the top of the wall. Not just a few, but many of them. The zombies packed the wall.

Even if he tried to put aside the thought of millions of zombies. The city wall alone was enough to intimidate Gan Shuo.

'How are we supposed to break the wall? We need a tank to do that!' Gan Shuo could not think of a way to break the wall.

”It seems your hunch is wrong, Zhen Yang!” He called out Zhen Yang. The man said that they could win, but he was aware that their chance to win against the zombies was very small.

”No, my hunch is rarely wrong. Even if it's wrong, not this time!” Zhen Yang could keep his calm despite the wall that prevented the army from entering the city.

Before Gan Shuo could lash out at his friend, Zhen Yang spoke first, ”Look more closely! Don't just look at what is in front of you, but also look at your surroundings!”

Gan Shuo listened to his friend and looked around. He furrowed his brow. There was something wrong here. He could sense fear and nervousness from the people from his old group, but other than them, these people showed a tinge of excitement and also confidence.

This baffled Gan Shuo. He did not know where the excitement and the confidence came from.

”The Original Army of the Empire does not waver in front of the enemy we will face. They are confident that we will win the battle, you can see it from their expression!” Zhen Yang's voice entered his ears.

”Look, even your Squad Captain is quite excited about the battle,” Zhen Yang pointed at Gu Yingjie.

Yes, Gan Shuo was part of Gu Yingjie's unit. Gan Shuo looked toward his young Squad Captain. Sure enough, he could see not only the confidence, the excitement, but also Squad Captain Gu looked impatient to jump into the battle.

Gu Yingjie had been listening to the newcomers' discussion. He turned around, ”Of course, we are excited. This is a chance for us to get stronger, killing the zombies! In a world where power matters, you will thirst for power!”

'That's cringe,' of course, Gan Zhuo did not dare to say it out loud. He saved that for himself since he was talking to his superior despite the gap of their age.

”You will feel it after you see Lord Shaoyang and the other commanders make their move!” Gu Yingjie could tell that the older man was not used to his words. However, it was hard to convert his feelings into words.

Liao Zhenya kept listening to them, but she had been observing the front line. She noticed a man and a red-haired woman came forward.

'The red-haired woman should be the Fire Witch that Captain Cao talked about. That young man, he is the Zombie Ruler, the guy who has the power to control the zombies!'

'Those should be the zombies,' Liao Zhenya noticed the giant zombies and the small zombies in the black cloak.

”It's about to start!” Gu Yingjie glanced at the nine people behind him. Those nine were his subordinate, he was responsible for their lives, ”Remember what I said, don't split from the group and follow my lead! Unless you want to get killed, you can rush toward the swarm by yourself! Get ready for the battle!”

At Gu Yingjie's words, big fireballs formed in the sky and descended toward the city wall. Not only big fireballs but the city wall was also rained down by the fire spear.

”How is that possible!?” Gan Shuo was shocked to see the fire. It was not a feat that a human could do, at least, he thought so.
