The Undead Scourge surged in like a tidal wave, only to be swiftly dealt with by rocket artillery.

Humanity's rocket artillery included not only ground-attack types but also numerous air-attack types, which were only revealed after the Ghosts launched their overwhelming offensive.

Although the tide of the undead continues, a true war between beast tamers has not broken out between the two sides.

The Human Race and the undead have been locked in a stalemate for nearly three days!

These three days were entirely spent with rocket launchers constantly destroying wave after wave of undead.

The Undead Race and high-level undead don't care at all about the reduction of the number of low-level undead by hundreds of millions.

For them, there are as many cannon fodder as they need; as long as there are special types of beast tamers like Undead Mage, ordinary undead are very easy to create.

Three days later, all the box-type fixed rocket launchers on the human defensive walls finally fell silent.

It's not that they've run out, but rather that the base's reserves of steel materials are insufficient and are almost depleted.

The Undead Race behind the scenes used massive numbers of low-level undead to erode humanity's reserves of resources such as steel.

If there are sufficient reserves, we can manufacture as many of these rocket launchers as needed.

However, a base is only so big, and it also needs to store other resources to supply all beast tamers. It is simply impossible to use all the space to store steel resources.

Even using spatial equipment won't work!

Even so, humanity only managed to eliminate 60% of the low-level skeletons, ghosts, and Yin Corpse in the entire Undead Scourge.

The remaining 40% is still a vast ocean of the dead!

After the rocket artillery, the most effective attack method against the Undead Clan, ceased, a massive tide of undead surged to the edge of the city.

However, just as they approached the city walls, humanity's backup technological and military means came into play.

Countless large barrels were launched from the massive, hundred-meter-high walls of the human city, then crashed to the ground and shattered, spewing out black liquid that splattered everywhere.

A black zone instantly formed around the entire base.

Then countless fireballs were launched from the city walls, forming a massive wall of flames that directly divided the entire undead tide in two.

Then, metal windows below the city wall opened, and mechanical devices extended out.

They quickly unfolded, forming mechanical arms that extended beyond the city walls. At the end of each mechanical arm was a rotating blade with a diameter of nearly ten meters.

It spun, its blade moving so fast that it sliced the surrounding skeletons into powder one by one.

The undead did not possess much intelligence; they could only instinctively crawl forward, with those behind pushing those in front, causing the skeletons in front to be continuously sliced into bone fragments and shattered into bone dust.

The skeletons' bones were very fragile and were constantly being sliced and killed.

Outside the wall of flames, the skeletons behind pushed the skeletons in front forward, propelling them into the sea of fire. The undead bones were also flammable, fueling the endless wall of fire, which burned continuously, yet was constantly replenished by a massive amount of skeleton fuel!

In the wars of the skies, humanity still relies on the power of technology.

This time, countless laser weapons were activated. The lasers could still harm the ghosts and had a powerful killing effect on them.

Despite being bombarded by laser beams, the ghost army remained largely ineffective.

Beneath the base, a unique rotating mechanism resembling a shredder was in operation, with its power unit located above and special metal blades designed to harm the Yin Corpse mounted on the rotating cylinders.

This is a swirling forest of blades, capable of slicing through any Yin Corpse attempting to invade from underground.

They can burrow underground, but once they leave the soil, they will reveal their true form. Any physical or energy-based damage is effective against them.

In areas with weaker defenses, beast tamers are responsible for guarding them.

At this point, the combination of various technological means enabled humanity to deal with more than 98% of the undead forces.

Less than 2% of undead beasts are dealt with by beast tamers.

But human power is clearly not limited to this!

After a full day of such fighting, and after the blades on the city walls had all chipped and dulled, humanity began to wield several other powerful weapons.

Throughout the day, flammable fuel was continuously scattered from the base's walls to maintain the existence of that wall of fire.

The entire base also utilizes special backup underground air ducts to draw air from concealed locations to control the temperature throughout the base.

This tactic was also maintained for nearly a day.

At night, the fire wall emitted flames that illuminated the entire night, and the smoke and clouds that rose high into the sky also interfered with the vision of the undead dragons and other aerial forces.

They cannot attack directly from the air until the energy defense shield is completely broken.

The base's energy defense shield only reached the city wall, right next to the wall itself.

So the next day, these undead skeletons began to pile up and stick to the surface of the energy shield, using their own death aura to erode the power of the energy shield.

On that very day, the base finally activated its last technological defense against the remaining undead army.

Countless missiles were launched into the sky, then quickly fell back down, ultimately causing violent explosions.

However, this explosion was precisely designed to be a planar, diffuse explosion. The force of the explosion was like a ring of spreading sharp blades, destroying everything on the ground.

Such an explosion could destroy everything within a radius of nearly two kilometers.

Their impacts collided with each other, generating more and more scattered shock waves, which continued to cause greater damage over a wider area.

This attack was costly, but highly effective.

The countless missiles destroyed at least two hundred million undead skeletons.

The sky was the same; countless missiles plunged into the dark clouds formed by the ghosts, directly destroying at least fifty million of them.

While the Yin Corpse, including corpses, ghosts, and skeletons, are all undead that rely on sheer numbers, bones have a longer lifespan, so there are far more skeletons than ghosts, and more ghosts than Yin Corpse.

The Yin Corpse are very special, but their numbers are relatively small.

They pose a great danger when they are unprepared, but the danger increases considerably when humans are prepared.

This wave of Undead Scourge is still incomplete; the main force is still undead skeletons!

As a result of humanity's last technological advancements, the number of undead skeletons has dwindled to less than 15% of its original size.

But even this small percentage is like the ocean.

These 15% of undead skeletons still number in the top 500 million. The real battlefield for the beastmasters in the entire base is yet to come!

The human beast tamers summoned their beasts, leaving the base's walls to directly engage the enemy.

They must minimize the loss of the energy defense barrier, as it is a last resort. Only if this base can hold out long enough can reinforcements from other locations arrive in time.

Every time they repelled an invasion by the Undead Race, it was only after reinforcements from the top-level base arrived that the conflict ended.

But what they didn't know was that this time they were facing a tough battle.

The Undead Race did not achieve their full objective this time, but they were still well-prepared. Both high-level and low-level bases in this area are facing an invasion by the Undead Scourge.

Moreover, the strongest beings in the Undead Scourge are still waiting to deliver the decisive blow at the crucial moment.
