"Is this what the evolved zombie looks like?"
Looking at the group of roaming monsters before him, whose appearance was distinctly different from the zombies he had seen north of the capital of Alania, Sun Fei had the strange feeling of stepping into a scene from the science fiction movie Resident Evil from his previous life.
These zombies looked even older and more decayed, their clothes were covered in dust, their hair was a mess like a clump of weeds, and their exposed skin was completely bluish-black, but it had a metallic texture, as if it had been cast in molten iron.
They seemed to have gotten used to the sunlight, and their movements became much more agile, almost matching the speed of an ordinary person jogging. Most importantly, these evolved zombies were much stronger. In addition to their bodies being harder, their claws were incredibly powerful. Sun Fei witnessed the zombie horde scratching out shocking marks on the steel tower shields of the Alania shield soldiers, as if they had been slashed by swords.
"The evolution speed of the Hell dark creatures is faster than expected."
As Sun Fei thought this, he raised his hand, and more than a dozen golden flames of [ Charged Bolt ] entered the zombie horde of about several hundred people. A vast and mighty holy Holy Power spread out, completely Cleansing them.
A stream of mysterious and pure free energy dissipated from the zombie's body.
Sun Fei waved his hand, and it disappeared into his own body.
"Yes, the free energy released after an evolved zombie dies is much more concentrated."
Sun Fei carefully considered the matter and came to a conclusion.
"If that's the case, shouldn't we let these evil creatures continue to evolve? That way, when they evolve into more advanced species, I can kill them and obtain more free energy. And with enough energy, advancing to the Demigod realm will no longer be a dream!"
The tempting thought lingered in Sun Fei's mind for a while, but he forcibly dispelled it.
Letting these Hell dark creatures multiply and Cleansing, who knows what terrible things might happen? More importantly, ordinary humans don't possess the strength of Sun Fei. Every time these dark creatures evolve, it's an absolute nightmare for the humans living here. Although Sun Fei isn't some saintly savior, he still feels somewhat resistant to using this method to improve his strength.
Looking around, as the dark forces of Hell spread, the once prosperous and fertile southern border of Alania has been completely turned into scorched earth. The wild grass is gray and lifeless, as if it were plastic. The vegetation is withered, and even the soil and rocks are covered with a layer of dark gray. The whole world has lost its former vitality and color, and has become a veritable land of death.
This is the scene that appeared less than half a day after the army set off.
And this place is only a little over 200 kilometers away from Didikaka City, the new imperial capital of Alania.
In the past seven hours, the Chambord Army and the Alania Legion have suffered heavy losses from attacks by a large number of Hell dark creatures. If it weren't for the powerful Holy Power imprints left by Sun Fei along the way, these endless dark creatures might have already begun their attack on Didikaka City.
This is absolutely a disaster.
When the Alania soldiers saw their fallen comrades suddenly turn into zombies and attack them, they felt a sense of collapse. It was a double blow to their physical and mental health. If it weren't for the Chambord people Mowing Grass down the zombies like grass, and the priests of the [ Black-Robed Holy Temple ] casting their Cleansing power to boost morale, the entire Alania army might have been completely crushed if they had fought on their own.
Without a doubt, this was a special war.
Human armies can only suffer continuous losses, while zombies can continuously expand. Every human who dies means one more undead warrior in the zombie army. Ordinary sword wounds are no match for these undead creatures; only devastating magic and powerful Dou Qi arts techniques can kill zombies.
What's even more difficult to guard against are those mutated beasts that appear like lightning. Large mutated beasts can be detected in advance, but mutated rats, mutated snakes, or even mutated locusts, which move in groups, are small in size and hide in the grass. They suddenly attack and are hard to defend against. If they bite you unexpectedly, it means that within twenty minutes, you will also become a member of the undead evil race.
As the sun set that day, after the army set up camp and took stock, the Alania people discovered that the three legions combined had lost more than five thousand elite warriors. Thinking about the long road ahead and the possibility that even more terrifying situations awaited them, the morale of the newly formed Alania legions began to decline silently.
Sun Fei keenly noticed this.
"The terror of the Hell dark creatures has far exceeded our previous estimates. Ordinary armies simply cannot fight such an undead legion. We cannot continue like this, otherwise, before we even enter the territory of the Anzhi Empire, I'm afraid these three human armies will all have turned into zombies. Leaving them behind is just a burden; I'll have to take care of them during the battle."
After consulting with the generals of the Chambord Army, they reached a decision.
Before nightfall, Sun Fei summoned Charles Adam, the commander of the Alania army, explained the situation to him, and persuaded the Alania people to temporarily withdraw from this terrifying war that ordinary armies could not win.
Of course, the result of this decision was that Sun Fei, the [ Human Emperor of the Northern Region ], became worshipped countless times more in the hearts of the Alania people.
The next day.
The Alania army retreated two hundred miles, almost back to Didikaka City, where they set up defensive lines and cooperated with the light array and power imprints set up by Sun Fei to protect the capital.
From that moment on, the Chambord Army would have to fight alone.
In reality, Sun Fei wasn't a pushover; he cared more about his soldiers.
Although each of the thousand Chambord Army was a samurai of Three-Star Class or higher, giving them an absolute advantage against the zombie monsters and resulting in very few casualties, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and no one knows what might happen. To avoid unnecessary losses, shortly after the Alania people withdrew, the Black Pearl and the One-Eyed Dragon landed, carrying the Chambord Army to an altitude of ten thousand meters, and also withdrew from the battle.
Only Sun Fei defied all opposition and stayed alone on this land that had been licked by death countless times, without any guards.
Next, it will be a battle fought by Sun Fei alone.
His King, now unleashed, displayed unparalleled killing speed. The power attributes and various skills of [ Paladin Mode ] were entirely designed to counter Hell dark creatures. Sun Fei slaughtered zombies and mutated beasts with overwhelming force. By midnight, Sun Fei had advanced nearly three hundred kilometers. Wherever he went, dark creatures were wiped out, and the land was [ Cleansing ]. To prevent the dark and evil creatures from making a comeback, Sun Fei set up a magic circle of light energy every five kilometers.
The frenzied killing resulted in a rapid increase in strength.
At night, Sun Fei lit a campfire on a hilltop and sorted out the day's harvest.
