YM778.TV Chapter 1042: Beastmen V.S Zombies!
"Dragon Riders!! The mighty Dragon Riders are here!!
"The Dragon Riders are here!!"
"..."
Seeing the appearance of the Beastmen experts atop the dragons, the various Beastmen in combat became excited and let out cheers.
The moment those Dragon Riders came out, they charged towards the zombie horde.
One by one, they exited the Gate of Hell and immediately got into formation, charging at the zombie horde.
At the vanguard position of the zombies, there were many L5s covered in black scales, impenetrable to guns and blades, blocking the Dragon Riders.
The hundreds of Dragon Riders charged wildly, and the ground shook from the force. They charged into the L5s viciously, intending to pierce through the bodies of the L5s with their strength.
Under the built-up force, the L5s were directly pierced through, crumpling to the ground. At the same time, some of the Dragon Riders were slapped by the L5s and sent flying.
The moment those Dragon Riders fell among the zombies, the hidden Evolved zombies would leap out and tear those unfortunate victims into pieces.
Every one of these Dragon Riders was at the Type 4 realm, but against the Devourers, Hunters, S5s and other evolved zombies within the horde, they stood no chance.
With the passage of time, zombies had not stopped evolving too, and compared to a year ago, they were much stronger.
However, since the Dragon Riders were pushing out in hordes, the L5s were taken out quickly, before being trampled on by the Dragon Riders.
The moment the zombies were impeded by the Dragon Riders that joined the fray, more Beastmen warriors and Dragon Riders came out of the Gate of Hell, providing even more reinforcements. Soon, the total number of Dragon Riders that had appeared numbered over 5,000.
The L5s had to make use of the other zombies to take out over a hundred Dragon Riders before they were turned into meat paste under the charge of the reinforcements.
After dealing with those L5s, the remaining 4,000-odd Dragon Riders cleaved through the horde like a knife through butter, slaughtering the zombies that got in their way. At every second, over thousands of zombies were being flattened.
Zombie King Limo’s gaze turned frosty as he prepared to use one of his trump cards, "Go to hell!!"
Just as the Dragon Riders were about to charge through further, a small troop of 200 S5s flickered over.
This entire squad was fitted with the Gauss Rifles obtained from Yue Zhong. The moment they appeared, they began firing wildly at the Dragon Riders.
Bright flashes burst out, and suddenly, many of the Dragon Riders found that they had fist-sized wounds punched through their bodies, as they crumpled to the ground from the back of their dragons in disbelief.
In an instant, over a dozen Dragon Riders had fallen.
The rest of the Dragon Riders became enraged, as they urged their mounts to chase after the S5s. Unfortunately, the S5s were too fast, disappearing right before their eyes.
The S5s made use of the horde as cover, appearing and disappearing like the wind, wiping out hundreds of the Dragon Riders each time, but not losing a single of their number.
The S5s were speedy, and King Limo had passed the Gauss Rifles for them to use. Such a speedy squad was even more terrifying than an elite human squad.
King Limo saw how effective the S5 squad was, and his eyes flashed with a strange glint, "These Gauss Rifles are truly useful. If I had 20,000 of them, those damn Beastmen would have already been wiped out. I need to purchase more from Yue Zhong. Once our zombies are equipped, they will be stronger than the humans."
It was precisely so, if the zombies could obtain weapons that the humans used, then, in the future, the humans would not stand a chance.
Other than the Dragon Riders, more Beastmen warriors were still pouring out of the Gate.
A large number of aerial beastmen warriors also flew out, soaring into the sky, engaging the winged-zombies.
Every second, there were deaths on both sides.
They were at a stalemate, but the Beastmen’s area was slowly expanding.
In terms of numbers, it was naturally the zombies that had the advantage, but in terms of quality, the Beastmen were stronger.
Although the Beastmen were strong, King Limo was all the more adamant on obtaining this Gate of Hell. He continued to throw all his subordinates into attacking.
While many evolved zombies were dying every second, there were zombies who were constantly evolving from consuming the blood and flesh of the powerful Beastmen as well, becoming even stronger. Newly evolved zombies were being produced.
The entire region in front of the Gate of Hell had become a cruel meat grinder, in just a day, a million zombies had perished.
At the same time, the death toll of the Beastmen warriors was reaching 150,000, with the initial 5,000 Dragon Riders ultimately perishing after an entire day of fighting. However, they had brought down over 150,000 zombies of their own.
Corpses were piled in heaps, with countless dismembered bodies all around.
Zombie King Limo laughed coldly, "A million zombies. Damned Beastmen, they actually took out a million of my forces! But it’s useless! My forces are becoming stronger!! Haha!!"
Those foreign species like the Beastmen, aliens, and Dino-Race were all resistant towards the infection, therefore, they could not become zombies, just like the Mutant Beasts.
However, their blood and flesh were incredibly potent to the zombies. After killing 150,000 Beastmen, there were an additional 10,000 Type 3 Evolved zombies, 2,000 Type 4 Evolved zombies, and 300 Type 5 Evolved zombies.
At the same time, Devourers were sprouting out of nowhere, consuming the corpses on the battlefield.
These Devourers were natural-born killers on the battlefield, consuming corpses to evolve. Most of them had already become Type 5 creatures, posing an even more dangerous threat than before.
The Type 5 Devourers were more terrifying than the L5s and were one of King Limo’s trump cards.
As long as they continued battling, while the horde might be diminished, and ordinary evolved zombies would perish, in return, even more, powerful Evolved zombies would emerge, replacing the quantity with quality.
It was because of this that Zombie King Limo was willing to deploy his forces to clash against the Beastmen.
Suddenly, an expert with 70% resemblance to Taylor stepped out from the Gate of Hell.
Right behind him, there were over a hundred Type 6 experts following, exuding a terrifying aura.
The expert that resembled Taylor looked at the horde of zombies coldly and spoke indifferently, "To think that Taylor is dead. Seems like this Earth has some capable bumpkins."
One 6m-tall tiger-head expert spoke with a fawning attitude, "How could that fool Taylor compare to you, Your Majesty? As long as you order it, this subordinate will wipe out these low lives for you."
This expert of the Beastmen Kingdom that resembled Taylor was another prince, Prince Taess. He had power, authority, and many tribes under his beck and call. He was also a powerful expert of the mid-Type 7 realm.
Taess swept a glance across the seemingly endless horde and declared coolly, "Wipe out these trash!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
The hundreds of Type 6 experts behind him bowed and acknowledged, before leading their own tribes and slaughtered their way through the zombie horde.
Once this army joined the fray, the tide of the battle was turned.
Many powerful evolved zombies were quickly taken out by those Type 5 and Type 6 experts of the Beastmen Kingdom, while the ordinary zombies were left to the lower-leveled subordinates.
Although the horde was trying to advance further, they were starting to suffer heavy losses. In fact, they were losing ground, and forced backward, while more Beastmen poured out of the Gate of Hell. The advantage of the zombie numbers had suddenly become a target for the enemies to slaughter.
With King Limo’s high intelligence, the moment he saw that things were going downhill, he quickly chose to retreat, "Damn it! Seems like we can’t claim that Gate of Hell anymore! It’s time to retreat. Once my army has finished evolving, we will come and deal with these damned Beastmen once more."
Had King Limo thrown all his trump cards into the battle, and joined the fray himself, there might have been a chance to conquer the Gate of Hell. However, he valued his life and strength too much, choosing to take a minimal risk and retreated the moment things turned bad.
One petite, beautiful Beastmen expert that looked almost similar to a human female, with the exception of her cat ears and tail, came up to Taess and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, the enemy has fled. Do we chase?"
Within the Beastmen Kingdom, there were many races that looked similar to humans. However, they were termed as lower-class races and were not very welcomed. The Cat-women race was one example.
