1191 Attacking Hescos
“It’s not bad, it’s quite a good move actually,” I looked at this and praised this quick decision taken by Legend.
It wasn’t the perfect solution, but it was enough to make the enemy believe we were paying close attention to the outer hole.
But that wasn’t enough to wipe out any suspicion. “Lily, make them move into the portal and join the frontline now!” This was all I could do to help mask this unavoided mistake.
I gave the order to Lily, to start mobilising the endless warriors over to the other world. It would be too soon to move them, much sooner than I already planned. But it couldn’t be helped.
Using these warriors would make the enemy buy what Legend made. Besides the portal had a capacity, and moving all these warriors over there would take a long time.
So it wouldn’t impact my plans that much.
I watched the brutal fight between my already exhausted forces and the enemy. As they had to step forward, their higher strength advantage was countered by their forces getting thinner.
They first were able to push the enemy backwards easily. But in less than one hour, it looked harder to move forward without sacrificing a lot.
As they advanced, they had to cover up a much larger area, ending up in spreading out their forces. After two hours, and as they crossed almost five miles, they couldn’t move forward.
They did a good job already. They managed to buy my forces time for the orbs to get ready.
The warriors I sent out there didn’t dare to cross over the dens or even get near them. So they were stuck around the outer hole, ending up filling most of the region again.
During this, the orbs kept acting wild. As there were no zombies, races, or monsters around to suck their energy dry, the orbs took three hours to finish maturing.
When the yellowish wisps of light vanished, the frontal forces were starting to show signs of crumbling. The enemies were endless, coming fresh and had unending reinforcements.
Unlike my forces who were already exhausted, fighting without enough forces on their sides, and with zero reinforcements. So it was expected for my forces to start getting pushed back, and even many places showed red flags.
But that was just in time when the first orb finished transforming into a den. A pitch black den appeared, and the first wave of zombies came out.
“They are badass! Hahahaha!” seeing the first group of zombies coming out from the first den, I couldn’t help but laugh in happiness.
The zombies that came out were flying ones with wings, giant ones looking like ferocious beasts, or even had fierce auras around them.
The zombies looked wild and dangerous. And the great news was that they would keep coming for an entire month without the need for me to do anything.
As more dense got formed, more zombies started to appear. Just like what happened before, these zombies stood around the den, acting as their guards.
“Time to see if it’s going to work or what…” I looked at these zombies and thought about a simple order.
I ordered them to move forward and group up one mile away. Just as I gave the order, I watched the zombies roar, their bodies shaking as if they were resisting some hidden force, before finally starting to move.
“As expected… Bringing out strong zombies will make them harder to control…” I looked over these zombies and knew it was safer to release them all forward, not giving them any chance to grow stronger or try to break my control over them.
But their numbers were still low. I needed to wait for half an hour before thinking about sending them to their demise.
My main concern was that if I gave them time, they’d end up being rogue.
However even after waiting for one hour, nothing like that seemed to happen. They all stood and gathered in many groups, waiting for more orders.
The first time they got my orders they showed the same reaction. Their bodies shook and they seemed to struggle against my commands. But after that, nothing alike happened again.
I didn’t fear the enemy would recognise them. Once the orbs finished maturing, Legend was fast to move the waiting forces to move forward and join the fight.
The new warriors were fresh and they looked at the battle going on up front for long hours without being able to join. Their blood was already boiling with the desire to fight.
So the moment they joined, the entire stalemate was crushed. They killed their way forward for miles in the next hour, getting much closer to the outer ring defensive forces.
The Hescos started to show signs of moving their troops into defensive formation. They were ready to welcome the incoming warriors, but they were about to get disappointed.
The moment the warriors got near the Hescos, I gave the order for all the zombies to move out towards them.
Their movement came as a signal for Legend and all the waiting forces to move. The zombies coming out from these dens were already from high grade monsters. So the zombie dens were of low level, the zombies coming out were exceptionally strong.
They moved fast, and to my surprise the warriors moved in tacit understanding, clearing paths for these zombies to walk through.
“Walk through the paths,” I gave the order so the zombies wouldn’t smash into my forces while advancing. Seeing the grand number of zombies run through the gaps my warriors created, alongside the large number of flying zombies hovering over their heads, made me feel weirdly excited.
It looked as if I was fighting on their side. And just as the zombies were getting closer to the defending Hescos, two different types of forces appeared from my controlled region.
I saw swarms of drones taking off, forming giant clouds with their bodies flying together. But at the same time, I saw another large group flying up at the same time, forming different shaped and coloured clouds.
