Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2377  The Impact

Upon hearing this, the entire Great Hall fell into an eerie silence.

They were the honorary knights of the Holy Court!

To them, the honorary knights were a divine and almost invincible presence!

On this continent, even if a certain nationʼs strength could forcefully suppress the Holy Courtʼs honorary knights, they would not easily take action, and would certainly show the Holy Court some respect.

But the current situation had defied everyoneʼs expectations.

A monstrous being that had appeared from nowhere had actually defeated the honorary knights of the Holy Court!

Who were they?

Did they not fear retaliation from the Holy Court?

”Report!”

A soldier walked into the Great Hall, knelt before the King, and reported, ”Sir, the monsters are advancing aggressively and are already approaching our main city. The General has urgently assembled the troops and is preparing to join forces with the Holy Court to resist the monstersʼ invasion.”

”Hmm, with the General present, we should be able to hold them off, right...?”

The Kingʼs hand trembled slightly as he gave a faint murmur, desperately trying to hide his fear.

A minister stepped forward and suggested, ”Sir, the situation is on the brink of getting out of control. I recommend calling upon the sword saint to ensure everything is foolproof.”

Yes!

There was still the Empireʼs sword saint!

The King thought of the Empireʼs sword saint and a glimmer of hope reignited in his heart. He nodded solemnly and said, ”Go summon the sword saint. No, I will go personally!”

...

At this point, the sky had completely darkened.

Fang Heng controlled the Lickers to continuously destroy three towns in the White Bamboo Principality and then headed directly toward the principalityʼs main city.

In previous sieges, as Ryan and Wallace had mentioned, they had encountered the Holy Courtʼs honorary knights stationed in the cities.

The number of knights was not large, and they posed a very limited threat.

Fang Heng simply commanded the Lickers to slaughter them, leaving none alive!

In advanced games, the strength of the Holy Courtʼs knights was several times greater than that encountered in intermediate games.

However, Fang Hengʼs Lickers were also enhanced by high-tier dimensional energy.

Their attributes had been increased nearly twentyfold!

With the overwhelming numerical advantage of the Lickers, the Holy Courtʼs honorary knights were completely wiped out in a very short time.

Ryan and Wallace, who were accompanying Fang Heng, were stunned.

They had anticipated that Fang Heng could push through with the Lickers, but they had not expected it to be this effortless.

A small contingent of the Holy Courtʼs honorary knights had been slaughtered cleanly without even making a ripple among the Lickers.

Riding the momentum, Fang Heng continued to control the Licker army, pushing straight toward the White Bamboo Principalityʼs main city. Along the way, the three cities were reduced to ruins under the relentless advance of the Lickers!

Looking up, they could already see a corner of the Imperial City of the White Bamboo Principality in the distance.

The magical crystal cannons on the city walls surrounding the main city had already aimed at them.

”Fang Heng, isnʼt it about time?”

”No need to continue,” Ryan said, wiping the sweat from his forehead and adding, ”Fang Heng, the mission completion rate has already exceeded 2000%. Such results should certainly please the King of the Kingdom of Horus.”

”Itʼs fine.” Fang Heng waved his hand and looked toward the main city in the distance, nodding, ”Since weʼre here, we might as well finish the job thoroughly. Letʼs go all the way and clear it completely; it wonʼt take much longer, and it will prevent any future trouble.”

As he spoke, the Licker army surged forward toward the main city of the White Bamboo Principality!

”Boom! Boom boom boom boom!!”

The magical crystal cannons positioned high on the city walls immediately roared to life.

A barrage of magic light cannon beams struck the Licker swarm, exploding on impact.

Hmm?

Fang Hengʼs pupils suddenly contracted.

The magical crystal cannons had been specially modified, and they even had additional attribute effects!

The fire from the magical crystal cannons burst upon hitting the ground, immediately spreading out a layer of frost.

As soon as the Lickers came into contact with the frost, they were instantly frozen!

In an instant, a large number of Lickers were immobilized on the spot by the frost effect.

”It worked!”

”Quick! Eliminate them!”

The Empireʼs guards on the city wall saw the magicite cannon take effect and immediately became uproarious. Subsequently, a large number of arrows and magical attacks were aimed at the frozen Lickers, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to completely eliminate them.

[Hint: The playerʼs zombie clone (Licker form) is affected by the magic crystal frost spell, entering a frost-frozen (spell) state. In this state, all damage taken is increased by 50%, and HP cannot be restored...]

”Interesting...”

Fang Heng looked at the game hint appearing on his retina and murmured to himself.

The freezing effect just happened to counter the ”undead” effect!

The advanced game world indeed had its intricacies!

If he hadnʼt entered the World of Forests to gain dimensional energy, this wave of Lickers would have been thoroughly defeated.

The spellʼs freezing effect was not a physical negative effect and couldnʼt be automatically dispelled by the ”undead” effect. However, the Lickers still retained their high physique attributes and HP.

For a short time, even the concentrated fire from the Empire guards couldnʼt kill them!

After a full 20 seconds, the freezing effect finally wore off.

”Bang! Bang bang!!”

On the battlefield, the ice crystals exploded one after another.

The Lickers quickly burst out from the ice crystals!

The Empire guards on the city walls were horrified to discover that the wounds on the Lickers were healing at an incredibly fast rate. At the same time, the Lickers charged toward the walls again!

”D*mn it! Theyʼre coming back! Why canʼt we kill them?”

”Hurry! What are you waiting for? The magicite cannons!”

”The magicite cannons need to recharge. Just wait a bit longer!”

Amid the urgent pleas on the city walls, the gate below slowly began to open.

The Holy Courtʼs honorary knights, dressed in luxurious attire, entered the battlefield.

Commander Baluyev looked at the massive swarm of Lickers pouring in from outside the city, a grave expression showing in his eyes.

The White Bamboo Principality was a small and insignificant country, not a strategic location. Therefore, the stationed forces of the Holy Court here were relatively weak.

Over twenty minutes ago, he had received an urgent report about a massive invasion of bizarre creatures in the White Bamboo Principality. He hadnʼt had the chance to fully investigate the situation before the defenses assembled by the principality had completely collapsed.

Even the Holy Courtʼs garrison in the other three cities had lost all contact.

Baluyev knew that the Holy Courtʼs garrison had likely perished along with those cities, which had turned into ruins.

He had immediately sent out a distress warning to the Holy Courtʼs higher-ups.

The Holy Court headquarters had yet to respond, and the enemy had already reached the outskirts of the main city.

Baluyev had been in this world the whole time and had never encountered a Licker before. He hadnʼt connected the red creatures before him with the Lickers.

Had he recognized them, Baluyev would certainly not have brought only his elite knight squad out alone.
