None of the summoned characters were actually injured, but they would be tired even from repeated mowing. Moreover, they were facing zombies with very shocking visual effects and very dangerous nature, so they were all a little tired.
However, after this period of rest, they had almost recovered. Seeing that the zombies still seemed to be arranging troops, Zhuge Liang signaled Lu Bu Xingcai to lead 10,000 archers in an arc. When the zombies entered the shooting range of everyone,
, Lu Bu waved his Fang Tianhua halberd, and the arrows that covered the sky and covered the sun flew towards the zombies.
These archers include humans and elves, and they are good at different archery skills. However, their arrows are different from the ancient archers in the movie Fang Qiubai watched. They are not thrown into the air, but straight towards the direction.
When fired from the front, it feels more like a siege crossbow.
These arrows emitted different lights, some were spinning, and some trailed a long ribbon of light behind their butts and crashed into the zombie group.
The group of zombies that were still standing stupidly suddenly moved. Some raised their hands and some squatted down. Although they looked chaotic, most of the arrows had no effect.
"The effect of this attack is less than one-tenth."
Needless to say, Zhuge Liang also saw that everyone could see that this time, tens of thousands of arrows successfully killed more than a thousand zombies at most. As for the other zombies, they were still alive and kicking even if their bodies were full of arrows.
Seeing that the zombies were starting to stir and seemed to be about to attack, Zhuge Liang quickly gave the order.
"The remaining teams were immediately divided into five teams with ten thousand people each. They were led by Tong Hu, Sephiroth, Arturia, Yueying, and me. The remaining Saint-level and above personnel were evenly distributed.
When you go to each team, remember that you don’t have to kill as many zombies as you can, but you must protect the archers and magicians behind you."
Seeing that everyone was quickly divided into teams, Fang Qiubai walked over and asked.
"What about me and Xiaoya?"
"Stand higher. In a battlefield with so many people, we may not be able to see the zombies move on the ground. If they make any strange movements, or if there is any leakage, let us know as soon as possible."
Zhuge Liang pointed to the sky and said cautiously.
When everyone quickly divided into teams and attacked the zombies, the zombie group actually turned into several large dragons and ran towards everyone in a mighty manner.
Zhuge Liang and others seemed to have discussed it long ago. Under their command, these tens of thousands of troops formed a huge fan shape and attacked the zombies.
Zhuge Liang and others stood at the front of their own team, constantly using various means to slow down the approaching speed of zombies in order to create attack opportunities for the troops behind them.
As for those holy-level monsters and elves, their duty is simpler, which is to kill zombies when they are approaching, and prevent the zombies from attacking the people behind. Whenever a zombie approaches, under the order of the team leader, everyone will
He retreated with neat steps, but never stopped drawing his bow and shooting arrows or releasing single-target magic such as lightning and fireballs.
Although the speed of the zombies was much faster than before, they were still being led along like flying kites. After dozens of volleys, at least one tenth of the zombies were completely eliminated.
"It seems it's only a matter of time before these guys are eliminated."
He stood in the air with Illya and watched the zombies below being eaten away bit by bit, and he smiled with satisfaction.
"Well, fortunately you were able to reach so many people in a short time, otherwise it would have been troublesome."
The current situation is that the archers at the rear and the magic stone in their hands are constantly moving. About fifty meters in front of them is the assigned saint-level strongman. Zhuge Liang leads the team almost fifty meters in front of the saint-level strongman.
At this point, Zhuge Liang used various skills including thunder, lightning, thunder, yellow sand, wind and dust to reduce the speed of the zombies rushing towards him by at least half. At the same time, several zombies would be killed almost every second, while the zombies that passed him would be killed.
They were delayed and slowly eliminated on the spot by the saint-level masters behind them. This arrangement basically ensured that no zombies could cross the two lines of defense to attack the archers at the rear.
That's why Fang Qiubai said that it was only a matter of time before the zombies were eliminated.
At this time, a sudden mutation occurred, and the bodies of some of the zombies began to undergo strange changes.
Several guys whose legs suddenly became so huge that one foot was as thick as two feet of other zombies suddenly started running very fast, raised their heads high and rushed towards the archery team behind them.
Their running speed suddenly nearly doubled, and they jumped at least five or six meters high. They seemed to be flying and passed the astonished people in an instant, and were about to pounce into the archery team.
"Knot! Knot! Knot!"
Fang Qiubai quickly raised several barriers and successfully trapped the zombies among them. Unexpectedly, one of them was very lucky and escaped from the barriers and fell into the crowd.
"It's over!"
Not only Fang Qiubai, but also two words flashed in the minds of many people at the same time.
"rise!"
Illya's shout suddenly sounded, and she raised her hand, but there was nothing in it.
But the zombie that had fallen into the crowd and was about to go on a killing spree was trapped inside a strange fish-like thing.
Upon closer inspection, although this thing looks like a fish, it is much more delicate. Every eye is the same size, and the whole thing is emitting a dark golden light.
The zombies were struggling and roaring crazily in this golden environment, but they just couldn't break free.
"Is this the magic weapon?"
Fang Qiubai was shocked and asked quickly.
"Well, this is Ruyi Hookah Luo He!"
Following Illya's words, the zombie suddenly shrank inward, instantly crushing the zombie into dozens of pieces of the same size.
"receive!"
Illya recruited it, and it became as big as a handkerchief and instantly appeared in the palm of her hand.
"I asked Xie Renier to help me test it while you were away. Although this magic weapon is Zhang, it can even stop bows and arrows, and it can also trap people inside."
At this time, the originally chaotic team also calmed down, and everyone else who saw this scene became more vigilant.
"Everyone, please pay attention, these zombies seem to be able to evolve, so don't be careless!"
Fang Qiubai conveyed the changes in the zombies to other members who had not seen this scene in the air, and loudly reminded everyone to be careful.
In fact, there is no need for Fang Qiubai to remind him that when the first mutated zombie appeared, other teams also encountered such a guy, but they were luckier and everyone reacted in time, so they only encountered a false alarm.
"Xiaoya is lucky to have you this time, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."
"Now you know I can help, right?"
Illya made a face at Fang Qiubai happily, and gently twirled Ruyi Hookah in her hand.
"Well, Xiaoya is really powerful, you should pay attention to those guys later!"
"Of course!"
Illya nodded and watched the movement below intently.
The battle is still going on, but more and more alienated zombies are appearing. Even if everyone retreats again and again, the distance between the zombie groups is gradually getting closer.
Fortunately, after a period of consumption, the number of zombies has been reduced by about 30%. Although it is impossible to see the specific number of zombies in the current chaos, a rough comparison shows that the number of zombies now is probably only two or three squads more than our own.
, that is, an extra twenty or thirty thousand.
"I'm afraid it won't work if this continues."
Illya suddenly said with a worried look on her face.
"Indeed, it's difficult to handle. Xiaoya, just stand still and don't move. I'll come as soon as I go."
Fang Qiubai also discovered the same problem. He told Ilia a few words and then appeared next to Zhuge Liang.
"gentlemen!"
As soon as Fang Qiubai opened his mouth, Zhuge Liang interrupted him.
"I know what you want to say. These soldiers are starting to get tired, especially the magicians. Their magic is almost exhausted."
"Then what should we do now? Should we retreat temporarily?"
Fang Qiubai actually knew that his idea was stupid. Now that these zombies can run and jump, it would be a big deal if these guys run away as soon as he retreats. All his efforts now are in vain.
"Yueying and that Arturia are both people who have led soldiers. They naturally know what to do, but Tong Hu and Sephiroth still need you to inform them."
After telling Fang Qiubai his plan and watching him leave, Zhuge Liang waved to the rear, and immediately a holy-level monster broke through the siege and rushed over.
"Give the order, now we will divide into two groups, one group will attack, and the other group will retreat and rest. The pressure on you will be much greater from now on, remember to be careful!"
After the monster took the order and left, Zhuge Liang rubbed his eyebrows.
"It will be dangerous if these weird guys evolve again."
Soon, Fang Qiubai returned to Zhuge Liang.
"Sir, they have been notified."
After he finished speaking, he saw Zhuge Liang's frown and asked worriedly.
"Is there any trouble?"
"It's quite troublesome. These guys seem to be evolving all the time. Do you think there will be consequences if they continue to evolve and our large forces are unable to attack due to lack of strength?"
Zhuge Liang pointed at the zombies in front and said.
"What should we do!"
Fang Qiubai noticed his own fatigue, but did not notice the changes in the zombies on the opposite side. Hearing this, he was very worried.
"The best way now is to quickly find reinforcements while everyone can still hold on. Not only do you need long-range troops with average strength, but you also need these individually powerful Saint-level or above masters. Finally, if you have to, you will need a certain number.
of warrior troops.”
"Melee combat? It's too dangerous to come to them!"
Fang Qiubai didn't expect that Zhuge Liang would actually think of looking for close combat troops, so he immediately asked.
"What are the consequences if these archers and magicians are approached by zombies? Although it is cruel, if a melee warrior survives for one second, it is equivalent to killing more zombies for the teammates behind him, and many fewer people will die.
!”
Zhuge Liang was also helpless. There was basically no need for any strategy in this kind of battle. However, the enemy was a terrifying guy who was tireless and fearless of death. Zhuge Liang had no choice but to start thinking about how to achieve success with a small amount of sacrifice.
"By the way, remember to take Ilia away. Although she can help to a certain extent, she can't be in the air because the risk is too high."
Seeing Fang Qiubai nodding helplessly, Zhuge Liang reminded him again.
Thinking that this time he would probably suffer heavy casualties if he went back and the troops he gathered again, Fang Qiubai felt very heavy, but he also knew that there was no other way and he could only do it.
"Xiaoya, come back with me."
Although she didn't know why Fang Qiubai suddenly seemed heavy-hearted, Ilia nodded obediently and followed Fang Qiubai back to Tiandao Palace.
"Xiaoya, I'm going to look for reinforcements now. Look at those members and the orcs. Try to choose those with high strength, just level 6 or above. Don't let anyone below. Tell them that they may have to face a life-or-death battle soon.
"
"Why?"
Illya covered her mouth and exclaimed.
"The zombies are evolving, but our soldiers will get tired. The longer it takes, the easier it is for us to fail."
Fang Qiubai explained and then spoke.
"Tell them that the chance of death is probably not low, so they went voluntarily. Now I'm going to find Herrington to borrow troops, and I'm afraid I have to go to the surrounding countries to see it. It's up to you here."
Fang Qiubai knew that death was unavoidable, but he still hoped that people who were familiar with him could survive longer, so he specifically emphasized that he should go voluntarily. When he wanted to come, he would go to the Star Empire to borrow some soldiers, and then drag Herrington along.
In other countries, even if one country borrows 10,000 people, it should be able to gather tens of thousands of people to help.
What's more, the number of warriors far exceeds that of mages and archers. As long as there is enough time, it is not a problem to gather more than 100,000 troops. The problem is that the portal is too small...
