Not only were the people fighting on the battlefield terrified out of their wits, but many of those in the rear who could vaguely see the scene were also left at a complete loss.
"We're done for! I spotted a tier-six zombie!" As a High-Order New Human, Duan Jiangwei was standing at an elevated position, watching the battlefield ahead and promptly reporting the situation.

The other major generals went pale as well. Tier-six zombies had originally been Feather Slayer Squad's responsibility. If one had broken through Feather Slayer's interception line and entered the rear, wouldn't it cause utter carnage?
