CHAPTER 816: Attack!
Zhao Hai stood calmly on the giant sword formed by the blood staff, with nearly twenty million undead beings lined up neatly behind him. These undead beings resembled zombies, made up of barbarians and the Winged Horse Tribe, with the barbarians forming the center and the Winged Horse Tribe on the flanks.
This time, Zhao Hai did not set up the magic cube formation. Although the magic cube formation was capable of both offense and defense, it had a characteristic: the speed of advancement was not very fast. After all, maintaining the formation was not an easy task.
Because of this, Zhao Hai arranged such a formation. His intention this time was not to engage in large-scale trench warfare with the divine race, but to charge straight through, from one end to the other, focusing on speed. If he were to get entangled with the divine race, even if Zhao Hai was not in danger, he would probably not gain any advantages.
Zhao Hai looked back at the troops behind him, who were fully prepared. He then said in a deep voice, “Remember, people of the Winged Horse Tribe, your main task is to capture goblins, and I need them alive. Barbarians, you are responsible for storming the city and seizing magic cannons—the more, the better.”
Zhao Hai did not bother to ask the undead beings if they understood, unlike when addressing human troops. There was no need for that with undead beings; Zhao Hai was like a god to them, and they would execute his every command meticulously, so he did not need to waste words.
After giving his instructions, Zhao Hai waved his hand and declared, “Let’s go!” He then flew toward the kingdom of light.
At the moment Zhao Hai appeared, the projections of the cities within the Ark Space suddenly went blank, causing those who were watching in Ark Space to be unsettled, fearing that something had gone wrong at the defense line or that Zhao Hai might be defeated.
Even though they had entered the space, they were still very concerned about the war happening outside because Zhao Hai and his forces were facing their former enemies.
This sudden change threw the entire Ark Space into chaos. At that moment, the voice that had previously explained things re-emerged, saying, “Please be quiet, everyone. What you just saw was Mr. Zhao Hai’s undead army battling against the divine race at the Aklaya Mountain Defense Line. The reason Mr. Zhao Hai allowed the divine race to safely reach the Aklaya Mountain Defense Line is that he intends to use the defense line to hold them back while leading a surprise attack against the divine race’s main base on the Ark Continent, the kingdom of light!”
As the voice spoke, a map appeared on the screen, showing the terrain south of the Aklaya Mountain Defense Line. The undead army was marked with red dots, while the divine race was marked with green dots. As the voice continued explaining, arrows appeared on the map for clarification.
People gradually quieted down, watching the map intently. The map was dynamic, appearing three-dimensional, with mountains and rivers clearly visible. Even the cities of the Pagoda Empire were distinctly shown.
Additionally, green arrows depicted the route taken by the divine race, while red arrows illustrated Zhao Hai’s counteractions against them.
Thus, people could see that initially, a massive green arrow shot from the direction of the kingdom of light directly into the Pagoda Empire without encountering any resistance, until the divine race's green arrow reached the Aklaya Mountain Defense Line. Only then did a gigantic red arrow block the divine race's advance, with smaller red arrows appearing around the Aklaya Mountain, evidently to prevent the enemy from retreating and to ensnare them.
As these arrows moved, the voice continued explaining, and even an ordinary farmer could grasp the general flow of the war.
Then the scene on the screen shifted to the kingdom of light, and the explanatory voice returned, saying, “The undead legion at Aklaya Mountain has held back the divine race, while Mr. Zhao Hai is currently leading another undead legion, coming around from the sea to attack the divine race’s forces within the kingdom of light, planning to break through from here.” As it spoke, the red arrow representing Zhao Hai’s forces moved quickly in a diagonal line, heading from the southeast of the kingdom of light to the northwest.
