”The zombies are too many, it will be difficult to break through them,” Councilman Zhu Meng's voice came from above.
Mo Fan looked up and saw Zhu Meng and his mighty pair of stunning fiery wings flying above.
In addition to that, he was also wearing the same lightning armor he had worn during the battle in Hangzhou. The purple lightning flickering on the metallic surface turned him into a sky knight of Lightning and Fire. As the Imperial Magicians were advancing on foot, a flying phantom would fall from the sky to the ground almost every second, and that was in fact Zhu Meng's doing!
He did not summon his Spear Equipment this time. Otherwise, the lightning spear would further enhance his image as a lightning-fire flying knight...
”Don't worry, I got it! Green Eye, let's go!” said a familiar voice, who turned out to be Senior Hunter Du Xiao.
There was a huge roar, the people on the trembling ground quickly stepped to the side. Mo Fan turned to his side and saw a gigantic blue beast moving past him. The runes on its skin were astonishing. Its muscles were as huge as boulders, its entire body was displaying an overwhelming sense of explosiveness!
Looking up again, Mo Fan saw a man standing on the head of the beast. His hair was drifting in the wind, and his black eyes flickered coldly. The overwhelming number of zombies was nowhere enough to destroy the man's determination!
The beast lunged forward, smashing the smaller zombies, and rammed into a Corpse General with its giant horns. The Corpse General that was as strong as an ox was punctured by the horns, before it was sent flying into the distance with blood splattering in the air.
Behind Du Xiao and his beast Green Eye, a bunch of Summoned Beasts appeared out of nowhere. Those around four meters tall were Blood-rune Savage Wolves, a White-armor Battle Beetle, aRock-seal Devil, and a Scorpion-tailed Scaled Beast. As for those over five meters, or even ten meters tall, they were the Banyan Demon General, Tyrant Snow Spirit, Rampage Blood Bird...
Du Xiao's Green Eye was the commander of the Summoned Beasts on the ground. The beasts charged forward and could instantly kill most of the zombies with a single bite or claw swipe. In comparison, the Green Eye was a lot fiercer. The impact produced from a single stomp would turn over a hundred zombies into minced meat. A single swipe of its claw would knock the zombies into the fresh cracks in the ground!
The zombies were poisonous and had no fear of dying. The Magicians would have a hard time utilizing their Magic after they were surrounded. Even when they were firing their Spells continuously to blast the zombies, those that managed to escape from the net would still drag their remaining body parts toward the Magicians. The Summoned Beasts were the perfect solution to tear the zombie walls apart. The clumsy zombies were no match for the fierce Summoned Beasts when it came to close combat!
The thick zombie walls were soon torn open by the Summoned Beasts. Meanwhile, the firepower of the Rampage Blood Bird in the air was on par with Du Xiao's Green Eye. Mo Fan could not see who was riding the bird as it kept flying right above the army, but every attack it executed would kill over a hundred zombies too...
The Rampage Blood Bird was not the kind that attacked from range. It was a savage predator. During its flight, it would suddenly glow crimson and glide right above the zombies. Flickers of light followed, and blood-colored slashes would appear randomly across the place, each over ten meters long. The sound of the zombies being shredded was audible, and once it came to an end, the limbs, heads, and bodies were suddenly scattered across the area.
”Our path behind is cut off,” said the commander with the Psychic Element. Some of the Magicians immediately turned around and saw the zombies stacking up across the battlefield now covered in white bones.
There were one and a half kilometers from the inner city, but half a kilometer was now covered in zombies. The number of zombies was indeed hard to deal with.
”Then we'll just charge forward!”
”Forward, we'll follow Senior Hunter Du Xiao!”
The resolution to break the cauldrons and sink the boats turned the army into a real battle axe, breaking through the walls of zombies with brute force. The gaps in the walls of zombies were filled with the Magicians holding tightly together to one another. The Summoned Beasts were in the front, followed by the Imperial Magicians. The Battlemages were on the side, while the others were protecting the rear!
