Before I could slowly internalize what was going on, I was presented with an army. In total, there were fifty or so n in front of , all of which are in the Heavenly Plain Realm, two realms higher than mine. And you're telling that I'll lead all of them to war?
And to top it all off, I only have ten seconds to prepare them. What sort of a difficult quest is this?!
"Yongrui, you have to tell them sothing." White nudged with his elbows while clearing his throat.
"Shouldn't you be the one to do that? Your dad told to assist you, not replace you in leading them." I clarified but he wasn't listening to . I don't know if it was because he has never experienced leading an army before, or may he was just nervous. Needless to say, he wanted to pass the duty onto .
We were running out of ti so I had no choice but to do it.
Without further ado, I stepped in front of the Four Battalions and cleared my throat to attract their attention. The Four Battalions stared at cluelessly. I'm guessing that they weren't told why they were gathered there. Luxor probably didn't have any ti to brief them about the upcoming war.
"Everyone, listen to ." I didn't go through any formalities whatsoever. Right now, my goal is to tell them that the Graudon Settlent is about to be overrun by a huge horde of rabid humans. there was no ti for appearances. "Ten or so seconds from now, this Settlent is going to be overrun by rabid humans zombies. And right now, the residents of this Settlent don't have anywhere else to go. It's up to us to defend the city walls and prevent these monsters from overtaking this Settlent."
The mont I announced that, I imdiately noticed the hopelessness in their eyes as they looked around. By now, the horde is near enough that they could detect it, and judging from their headcount, they were starting to think that they might not be able to hold them off.
"You are the Graudon Settlent's troops for a reason, this is your ti to shine! Don't back away just because the situation looked grim." I told them. Honestly, I felt a bit furious that these guys are backing down even though they are on a higher level than I am. "Put your chins up high and fight alongside and White! We have to endure this, otherwise, the Middle Plane would forever fall into the hands of the Black Spirit Sect. Rember your purpose! Why did you join the Graudon Settlent troops in the first place?"
Crash!
As expected, the horde of rabid humans has finally descended upon the Graudon Settlent. We didn't have enough ti as it is. From a distance, I recognize the vague forms of atpiles and other countless zombies that were a tenth of the size of atpiles. I was expecting them to be at least on the sa level as the mbers of the troops but I was wrong. They were at least a Realm or so higher in terms of power and cultivation. How can rabid humans be like that?! They're on Stage-12 or so, which is on par with Heavenly Axis Realm Cultivators.
Low groans and screeches could be heard from the rabid humans and once again, I was reminded of the ti when I regained my consciousness a few weeks ago. Everything else seed so different and rabid humans are stronger than I was. This is no different. Once again, I found myself in an unfamiliar place with no choice but to fight and the rabid humans are a few realms higher than I am. This is unfair, but what choice do I have?
"Follow if you want to live or die trying. But if you want to back away, then be my guest. Just rember that you will forever be known as the coward who ran away." I simply said. If that isn't enough to motivate them to fight, then there was no point in encouraging them any further. In a split second, I summoned all my pets and activated my Berserk Mode.
As multiple notifications rang in my head, courtesy of the System, I charged towards the horde of rabid humans without looking back. I didn't want to be disappointed so I decided not to steal a glance towards the Graudon Settlent Troops. I could probably handle this horde by myself, thanks to my Astral Lion, my Evolved Fanged Ice Wolf, my Rare Rabid Human Feng, and my other rabid human subordinates in my zombie barracks. They may not amount to much but they could at least provide so temporary blockade against the horde.
"Yongrui, allow to assist you." White called out beside as his eyes beca White and lightning coursed through his skin. He was activating his berserk mode or sothing, just like how he did it when we fought the guardian in the Void Tower.
"Yongrui, please be careful." Natalia was the second one to call out. She was surrounded by frost and snowflakes as she carefully manipulated her Ice Elent. Every ti she uses her elent, her beauty increases by a hundredfold... or that was just daydreaming.
"Allow to provide my assistance, Yongrui. I will fight by your side and keep you safe." Zenith was the next one to speak, and together, the four of us charged through to et the oncoming rabid humans. Now that we got a bit nearer, the horde looked more intimidating than I had expected... but if I backed off now, that would just make look like a coward, or worse.
The atpiles and the plethora of rabid humans may look frightening but I found the courage and reassurance from White, Natalie and Zenith who were right beside . My rough estimate told that the horde had about eight thousand to nine thousand rabid humans in it but I didn't mind, I could probably take down half of it.
In an instant, a Screecher-like rabid human approached , clawing with it's burning hands. The rabid human was unexpectedly fast but fortunately, Hui-ying warned to dodge so I flawlessly got out of the way before the claws even hit . I could see White and Natalia already engaged on the other side of the horde, firing off lightnings and ice as if a thunderous blizzard befell the land. Zenith wasn't resting either. The mont her daggers touched one rabid human, she turned into a blur as the rabid humans were diced to pieces. The rabid humans may have a higher cultivation compared to us but with our skills and techniques honed over the years, they stood no chance against us.
Oh, wait! I shouldn't be celebrating too early! I shouldn't raise a death flag this early in a fight. As far as I know, these rabid humans could also use elents and skills and if that wasn't enough, they may even have one of my exclusive skills that would greatly aid them in a fight the Berserk Skill.
That's right, I shouldn't let my guard down!
Shards of ice and earth and balls of flas and water rained down on as more rabid humans got closer. The only thing I could do was tear them to pieces with my hands since my Berserk Skill enabled to do so. I was a beast, trampling and shredding everything in my path without rcy. A rabid human would dash towards ? I'll cut him in half. A rabid human would try to bite ? Well, let him or her do so. That would just increase the virus in my body and make my Berserk mode and other virus-related skills stronger. In fact, I was so into my Berserk mode that I started biting off rabid humans to pieces. My taste buds were numbed so I couldn't taste it but they probably taste like rotten at or sewage or worse. In any case, I bit everyone until I beca the strongest zomb nope! Not gonnay say that yet! Hehe
My Astral Lion, Evolved Fanged Ice Wolf, Feng, and my rabid human subordinated were doing rather well as well. They didn't stay too close nor too far to the horde but their projectiles sure packs a punch. The Astral Lion was shooting beams from its mouth and every rabid human on its oath would disintegrate. As for the Evolved Fanged Ice Wolf, it made a portion of the land it's domain and constantly fired off ice spikes there. Pretty soon, it's domain beca a !assive graveyard of rabid humans. Feng was doing things differently, he would dart from one place to another, attacking rabid humans with his claws and mouth. Sotis he would fire off a dark beam but I don't know what kind of elent it was... probably the dark elent? Who knows.
"Do they need our help?"
"I don't think so."
"They're stronger than us even with their lower cultivations. They must be geniuses."
"No, we're just too inexperienced."
I could hear the mbers of the Graudon Settlent troops contemplating on whether they should help or not but only a handful stepped up to aid in the subjugation.
It was all going well... too well that my gut feelings started to warn of a certain danger.
And then it happened.
