Okura saw a large group of zombies in the distance heading towards the village.
He also brought a large number of carts with him.
The cart is full of supplies.
Among them were the corpses of many wild beasts, as well as many tools and equipment.
I can’t tell you exactly what it feels like, but it’s quite weird anyway.
A guard hesitated and looked at Okura, "Captain, we..."
"Let's go and pick him up together!"
"promise!"
The village entrance gate opened, and the Imperial Guard Corps came to respond.
In the zombie team, Harper followed and protected them all the way.
He and Okura had the same idea.
Can the zombie swarm also assist in transporting supplies?
Good guy, those zombies almost turned their entire sentry tower upside down and emptied out all the supplies!
Even some of the rarer stones were broken into pieces by the zombies and taken back with them.
Why does it feel like meeting a group of bandits?
Regarding this, Harper asked Fang Heng along the way.
Fang Heng said that the barbarian army would attack and occupy the outpost anyway.
You can lose some money, but you can't let the barbarians make money.
So just take them all away!
Harper was silent for a while.
The truth is this, but I always feel like something is not quite right.
It wasn't until he saw the village in front of him that Harper was shocked again.
Wait a minute, what is going on with this small village you are talking about?
Why have we already started building the wall?
More than half an hour later, the wall on the east side of the village has begun to take shape.
The zombies are still being built.
After being in a non-combat state for 12 consecutive hours, the number of ordinary coolie zombies doubled through the proliferation effect, and the labor force was greatly increased.
More than two thousand ordinary zombies with building collection skills of 20+ worked non-stop, so the efficiency was naturally not slow.
The only limitation is the output speed of tools such as materials and furnace mixers.
Harper was sighing when he saw Okura coming out of the village to greet him.
"Captain Okura."
"Harper? It's great that you are all right. I still need to use your strength to protect the village together."
"That's natural."
After capturing another strong man from the outpost and joining the village guard group, Okura felt a little better.
After saying a simple hello, Okura led everyone to the temporary village military camp and introduced Fang Heng and Harper to the crisis the empire was currently facing.
Under normal circumstances, the empire's communication network mainly passes through the raised flying creature orchid chicks and the mage tower.
Since the profession of mage is extremely rare in the entire Malhet Empire, the empire cannot rely solely on mages to build an effective communication network. Therefore, several main cities of the empire have professional mage towers, which can be quickly deployed in several large main cities.
Transmit messages.
After the barbarian invasion, the falcons controlled by the barbarians fought for air supremacy, and human communications were greatly restricted.
The information just returned from the empire is not optimistic.
Most areas of Hani City have been occupied by barbarians, and it is expected that in three hours, the barbarians will launch a general attack on Hani City.
The atmosphere in the military camp was extremely solemn.
The bad news is that most of the areas outside Hani City are occupied by barbarians, which means that there will be many barbarian teams targeting their marginal village.
The good news is that theoretically they only need to hold out for three hours. By then the barbarian army commander will launch a general attack on Hani City, and they will most likely be able to take a breather.
Of course, if Hani City is destroyed later, their life will be even more difficult.
Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei looked at each other.
real or fake?
Just three more hours?
It seems that the task prompts are not that simple?
Well, Fang Heng decided not to think about it so much and focus on the current task line.
The mission prompts that the next wave of barbarian attacks will arrive within 38 minutes.
Fang Heng looked up at the wall being built outside the village, nodded and said: "My zombies have detected that a barbarian team is approaching the village and will arrive in about half an hour. I also ask Captain Okura to prepare for the battle.
"
Okura looked serious and nodded, "Well, don't worry, I will be responsible for coordinating the soldiers and the mercenary group to protect the village together."
Ma Xiaowan nodded and said: "We have a mage group in our team, which was originally used to deal with the dragon mosquito swarm. They should be able to help."
Okura said gratefully: "That's great. With the mage group, we can also restrict the demonized barbarians."
After two battles with the barbarians, Fang Heng has roughly figured out the combat strength of the barbarian team.
Basically, every barbarian team will have a barbarian who can enter the second level state.
Many people in the empire call this state 'demonization'.
Fang Heng had already filled up the Bone Shrine with souls before entering the trial.
He can still use the Soul Skill of the Blood King once, so at least there will be no problem in dealing with another wave of barbarian squads.
The difficulty lies in the follow-up.
The barbarians are coming in waves, and their strength will only get stronger and stronger.
Fang Heng suddenly raised his head and asked: "The empire has been at war with the barbarians for so many years. Isn't there any way to deal with the second-level barbarians?"
This question caused several imperial officers in Okura to look stiff at the same time.
You're right, they really don't have any good ideas.
"It's just that we are not strong enough. The high-ranking officers of the empire are powerful. They are naturally capable of dealing with the demonized barbarians. In addition, the barbarians are very resistant to spells. We can also weaken and control them through magic."
Spell?
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"Well, there is also a crystal called purple marrow. Weapons made with it can cause great harm to the demonized barbarians. However, the annual output of purple marrow is extremely rare and is usually used as a strategic material reserve. What we have now
Naturally, there are no remote villages."
Okura continued to explain: "Several army commanders from the empire have been stationed in the northern region of the empire. They set off immediately after receiving the news. They are now on the way to support, and a team of imperial mages are also coming here."
Fang Heng shrugged, "Why are Hani City's defenses so lax?"
Harper was helpless, "On the one hand, we are lax, and on the other hand, it is also because there has never been a precedent of barbarian invasion here, but this time it is really strange. The barbarians actually invaded from the large forest area on the west side of the empire. It is very strange."
normal."
"That's why we are so passive."
"Everyone, please continue to hold on. When the imperial reinforcements arrive, the barbarians will naturally retreat."
Seeing that everyone had been discussing it for a long time but it was of no practical value, I could only passively choose to stick to it.
Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei looked at each other.
It’s really difficult.
Why is the difficulty of this wave of trial tasks so high?
If it weren't for the zombie clones who cooperated in the battle, the two of them would have given up their mission of guarding the village and retreated to Hani City to provide the final defense.
Harper sighed: "It's a pity that we lack purple marrow, otherwise the demonized barbarians would not be completely unable to deal with them."
