Chapter 167: Request for Help (1)
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
It was different from the peaceful defense area behind Guang ‘an Prefecture.
In the eastern defense area.
The battle against the zombie tide on Lotus Island had reached its climax from the very beginning.
Zhou Mubai led the eastern defense alliance army. They didn’t even have time to nurture the spirit vein or build the city pass before they were attacked by the zombie tide on Lotus Island.
Fortunately, Zhou Mubai and the three Zifu Disciples of the Zhou Clan had turned the tide, stabilizing the situation that had nearly collapsed.
He had finally established a foundation in the four islands near Lotus Island.
Half a year later.
Four immortal cities were established.
They completely blocked the path from Lotus Island to the prefecture.
This way…
If the zombie tide on Lotus Flower Island wanted to spread to Guang ‘an Prefecture, they could only break through the line of defense that Zhou Mubai had set up.
For half a year.
The two sides surrounded the four city passes and several battles erupted.
Small battles were even more difficult to count.
After half a year of intense fighting.
Especially when Zhou Mubai took the opportunity to kill tens of thousands of zombies, causing the Sun brothers on Lotus Island to change their strategy.
They chose to reduce the scale of the war and turn the large-scale war into a small-scale harassment attack.
At this point, the two sides had entered a tug-of-war and a war of attrition around the four city passes.
Every day, there were cultivators who fell in front of the city pass.
At every moment, countless zombies were killed by the cultivators of the alliance army.
However, in terms of energy consumption, how could a cultivator be a match for the Lotus Island Corpse Servant?
According to the statistics of the Eastern Defense Region Alliance Army.
Lotus Flower Island had at least ten million zombies.
Even if a single cultivator’s strength far exceeded that of ordinary zombies, facing such a huge zombie tide, the zombie army was extremely powerful.
Especially under the invasion of the Lotus Island’s Yin Qi, it was almost impossible to counterattack.
One had to know that the entire Eastern Defense Alliance Army only had 900,000 soldiers.
Most of them were Refinement Stage cultivators.
Besides…
Zhou Mubai wasn’t sure how many Zifu Disciples there were on Lotus Flower Island.
If it was really as he had guessed, and the Zifu Zombies on Lotus Flower Island could be refined in batches, then he would not be as lucky as last time if he rushed in rashly.
The last time he and Chen Daoxuan joined forces to kill their way out of Lotus Island, it was built on the basis that the other party only had five Zifu Disciples.
Otherwise, if there were two more Purple Mansion Zombies last time and they continued to consume their mana, once Zhou Mubai’s mana was exhausted, he and Chen Daoxuan would both die on Lotus Island.
On an island near Lotus Island.
Above the city pass.
A cultivator wearing ling armor walked towards Zhou Mubai.
At this moment, Zhou Mubai was also wearing ling armor, and his entire body emitted a strong killing intent.
“Commander!”
The spirit armor cultivator cupped his hands at Zhou Mubai.” The zombie tide at the fourth city pass has retreated.”
Hearing this.
Zhou Mubai nodded in understanding. His clenched fists relaxed slightly.
Usually, not many zombies dared to cause trouble for the city pass that he was guarding.
However, the other three island passes were almost constantly facing the invasion of the Lotus Island’s corpse tide.
There was nothing he could do about it. After all, the other Zifu Disciples of his Zhou Clan didn’t have the same level of deterrence as he did.
If the zombies on Lotus Flower Island were all brainless evil creatures, it would be fine.
However, they had two commanders.
Every time Zhou Mubai thought of this, he felt extremely regretful.
If only he had been able to kill the white-faced zombie that he was fighting with back then.
Because he knew that their alliance army was facing such a huge problem because of this guy’s idea behind the scenes.
He even intercepted the Wu family’s cargo ship from the beginning.
Attracting the attention of the Guang ‘an Prefecture, then taking the opportunity to sneak attack the Zhao Family and massacre the entire Zhao Family was a premeditated act.
As for taking the opportunity to eliminate the Zifu Disciples of the Zhou Clan who had gone to investigate, it was all done in passing.
If Zhou Mubai and Chen Daoxuan hadn’t gone that day…
If it were the three Zifu Disciples of the Zhou Clan who joined forces to investigate the situation…
The Zhou Clan was now short of three Zifu Disciples.
Zhou Mubai had no doubt about this.
The reason why Zhou Mubai felt that this group of Sun brothers had a premeditated plan to eliminate the Zhao family was because the alliance army in the eastern defense region was in dire need of resources, especially the antidote and fiend breaking pills.
If the Zhao Family was still around, they would definitely be able to provide the alliance army with medicinal resources.
Unfortunately, the Zhao family was gone.
Although the Zhou Clan was also a large clan of alchemists, they were unable to supply the eastern defense region’s coalition army with pills.
There was no Detoxification Pill or Fiend Breaking Pill.
When the Qi Refinement cultivators of the allied forces were facing zombies, their danger would increase by more than two levels.
Many cultivators didn’t die under the fangs of zombies, but from the subsequent corpse poison.
This made Zhou Mubai extremely angry.
But there was nothing he could do.
Although he was strong, killing tens of thousands of zombies in one blow was basically his limit.
Moreover, he needed the other party to give him a chance.
Ever since the other party discovered how ferocious Zhou Mubai was, they had not launched any large-scale attacks. They had only launched small-scale large-scale attacks.
No matter how strong Zhou Mubai was, how could he take care of the four islands and so many battlefields?
“Tong…Commander,”
” I’ve used up all the pills that Guang ‘an Prefecture sent over.
mi
“It’s only been a few days. Why did you use it so quickly?”
Zhou Mubai looked at him and frowned.
Seeing him like this, Wu Guangyi frowned and forced a smile.”Lord Commander, this year, our first, second, and fourth city passes have all erupted with more than ten small-scale assaults.
Each of the three city passes consumed at least 10,000 pills a day. With the speed at which Guang ‘an Prefecture refined pills, it was simply not enough!”
“They are consuming my logistics!”
Zhou Mubai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
He knew that the zombies on Lotus Island had done this on purpose.
Once the Eastern Alliance Army’s logistics were exhausted, the so-called cultivators would become vulnerable.
There were no Detoxification Pills, no Killing Pills, and no Qi Returning Pills.
Refinement Stage cultivators ‘ability to fight continuously would drop by several levels.
At that time, the victor would naturally lean towards the zombie horde of Lotus Flower Island.
In terms of energy consumption, human cultivators couldn’t compare to a group of zombies, and they were a group of organized zombies that listened to orders.
The Eastern Defense Alliance Army had no choice but to burn the bodies of their comrades in time after every battle to prevent them from increasing the enemy’s strength.
But even so, they would still encounter the situation where the bodies of the Aura Refining soldiers were robbed.
If the logistics could not be guaranteed, such situations would become more and more common.
In the end, the enemy would fight more and more while their own people would fight less. How could they fight this war?
“No! We can’t go on like this!”
Zhou Mubai’s eyes narrowed.
At this rate, the four city passes would run out of cultivators in less than ten years.
And the most terrifying thing was not this, but the problem of morale.
Zombies had no fear and would only listen to their master’s orders.
But cultivators were not.
They would be afraid and choose to become deserters because of the heavy casualties.
If the logistics could not be guaranteed, Zhou Mubai estimated that within a year at most, deserters would appear in the eastern defense region.
Now that everyone had killed zombies and obtained battle merits, coupled with the fact that fewer cultivators had died, everyone was extremely happy.
However, when the logistics were exhausted and the casualty rate increased greatly, even the battle merits could not stop everyone’s fear of battle.
He had to seek help from the rear.
At the very least, they had to ensure the logistics resources at the front line.
Thinking of this…
Zhou Mubai walked towards a large hall in the city pass.
This hall was the headquarters of the Eastern Defense Region Coalition Army.
The decoration in the hall was very simple. The only eye-catching thing was the communication array in the hall.
He walked to the communication array.
Zhou Mubai sent a message to Zhou Minghao, who was far away in Guang ‘an Prefecture.
Spiritual Shell Island.
Guang ‘an Prefecture’s Zhou Clan Residence.
Zhou Minghao looked at Zhou Mubai’s message and sighed.””Let’s hold a battle conference and ask Fellow Daoist Yang to attend!”
After thinking for a while, he added,”Let’s also inform Fellow Daoist Chen!
mi
“Yes, Patriarch!”
The Zhou Clan cultivator took the order and quickly retreated.
“The war is difficult!”
Zhou Minghao sighed.
He knew that fighting against the zombies on Lotus Flower Island was nothing. The real danger was something that the Guang ‘an Prefecture cultivators had yet to encounter.
His only hope now was that the Qian Yuan Sword Sect’s backup plan was strong enough.
To be able to help their Guang ‘an Prefecture survive this calamity.
Seaview City, Redwood Island.
In the main hall of the Western Defense Division headquarters.
Chen Daoxuan received the message from Zhou Minghao and fell into deep thought.
“Hold a battle conference?”
Logically speaking, other than the zombies in the eastern defense zone and Lotus Island, there was not even a single zombie in the other defense zones.
There were even some small families who started to clamor about returning to the clans-ground.
Towards these people who were not afraid of death, Chen Daoxuan could only let them be.
As for whether they would regret it in the future, that was their own business.
In the past six months, Chen Daoxuan and Zhou Mubai had used the communication formation to contact each other several times.
Last time, he had even heard that he had displayed his great power and wiped out tens of thousands of enemy zombies in one fell swoop.
Why was there a sudden meeting this time?
Chen Daoxuan had a guess guess in his heart, but he wasn’t too sure.
If his guess was true, then it would really be the time for the Chen family to soar.
Danger, danger, and at the same time, it also meant the arrival of opportunities.
For the Chen family, the zombie tide on Lotus Island was dangerous, but it was also an opportunity.
Thinking of this…
Chen Daoxuan instructed Zhou Mucheng and Lei Zhen.
He then flew toward Guang ‘an Prefecture.
The communication array could only send simple messages. It was unrealistic to use the communication array to hold a battle meeting.
Therefore, he had no choice.
Chen Daoxuan had to attend this battle conference personally.
Fortunately, his current speed was astonishing, comparable to that of a Zifu Disciple.
It only took them half a day to reach Guang ‘an City.
Without stopping, Chen Daoxuan’s flight light flew directly toward the Zhou Clan’s encampment.
When Chen Daoxuan arrived.
She realized that he was the last one to arrive.
Actually, it was quite normal when he thought about it carefully.
Redwood Island was located the furthest away from the western region, and although his speed was comparable to that of a Zifu Disciple, all of the people present here were Zifu Disciples, and their speed was no slower than his.
“Sorry, I’m late!”
Seeing Chen Daoxuan, Zhou Minghao smiled and shook his head..””Since
Fellow Daoist Chen is here, let’s begin!”
