Era of the transmigrating earth-Chapter 2156: When the Undead Learn Guerrilla Warfare

"The effect is very good. Keep increasing it. I want to see how long they can hold out." Du You looked at the report in his hand, very pleased, feeling a surge of excitement akin to playing a game.

The two sisters exchanged glances and helplessly shook their heads. The master was behaving childishly again.

Perhaps this is his true nature. The stronger his own power, the more easily his true nature reveals itself. At their level, there’s hardly any need to consider what others think, as it’s unnecessary. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

On the battlefield, as the undead continue to be sent in, the scene is becoming increasingly lively.

Of course, the city lords at the rear know of this battle report, but to them, aren’t they just ordinary soldiers? They don’t care at all. Let them cause a ruckus.

Perhaps to them, such battles can even train soldiers. Isn’t that even better?

As a result, on the front line, those soldiers quickly stopped building roads and started constructing defensive fortifications on the spot.

But the undead did not attack head-on; instead, they targeted their logistics, attacked the sent-out teams, or some patrol teams. They always ambushed from afar using the terrain.

The undead have no real weaknesses. Unless you hit the head directly, they won’t sustain much damage.

Skeletons run very fast because they are lighter, so unless of a very low level, they can’t easily be caught by other races. Especially those soldiers wearing armor stand no chance of pursuing them.

But without armor, it’s hard to defend against enemy attacks, and people might die.

The skeletons run fast, and their arrows are powerful. Their attacks always penetrate the skeleton’s body without causing any harm. At most, they’ll hit and break a bone or two, but the skeletons are completely indifferent to this.

Because zombies aren’t fast runners, they are used like landmines.

Once they lay in the grass, no one discovers these zombies. When someone passes by, the zombies directly attack, causing massive casualties and chaos to the enemy.

Du You uses the sixteen-character guerrilla warfare principle to the fullest here. Moreover, as more undead are sent to the front line, the scale of these battles keeps expanding.

"Hmm, what should be next, tunnel warfare?" Du You’s eyes brightened.

Because there are so many undead creatures, not all can be sent forward, so Du You had some of them start digging tunnels. For this, Du You specially prepared a batch of kobold undead. These creatures are adept at digging tunnels, creating tunnels and then reaching under the enemy’s camp, which makes things interesting.

Du You has been having an absolute blast during this time.

To fully utilize the capabilities of zombies, Du You even developed special zombies. Initially, he enhanced the plague power on zombies, making them able to poison by just scratching the enemy’s skin.

This poison spreads with great potency and is highly contagious. Those affected quickly turn into new zombies and join the battle, causing widespread fear.

Du You’s doppelgangers also established an undead research team to specifically study various undead weapons.

This also provides ideas for himself, offering some means for future improvements.

As a result, people later found that those zombies used as landmines would just die. So, they simply stopped strengthening the zombies’ power. After research, some actually turned zombies into landmines.

Special small zombies were produced, only the size of a skull, making them easy to hide. Their bodies no longer resemble ordinary zombies but look like insects, just slightly larger.

These insects can burrow into the ground and are hard to detect, being dead things.

When someone passes over them, the insects can choose to self-detonate. The explosion isn’t very powerful, but it spreads the plague over a large area, and these things are everywhere.

Once deployed on the battlefield, enemy soldiers began to fall in large numbers.

Because these zombies are active, some even ran to enemy camps to detonate. With the plague spreading, the enemy has no good way to neutralize it and can only watch helplessly as they mutate.

Those with stronger powers could withstand it, but the weaker ones quickly turned into zombies, then attacked their comrades. Although their power isn’t very strong, the psychological blow is severe.

As the plague continues to permeate and spread, soldiers from various cities become increasingly vigilant. Everyone becomes paranoid, and various conflicts and contradictions keep erupting.

If this were before, people might tolerate it, but now the entire army resembles a powder keg.

Any minor conflict or even just a bad look can lead to fights breaking out. If not for powerful figures suppressing within the army, even mutinies could occur.

Every soldier tightens their nerves, suspecting any slight rustle.

"Increase the intensity, I don’t believe their strong ones won’t come out." Du You commanded, and those crazed doppelgangers continued researching even crazier things.

The air force dropped plague bombs, and special virus mosquitoes spreading the plague started appearing.

The enemy began to crazily exterminate mosquitoes. Various medicines soon became severely scarce, so different military groups began to fight for the medicine.

With no other choice, they began setting up magic barriers on the spot.

Using magical shields to resist aerial attacks also allowed magical forces to clear surrounding mosquitoes and plagues. Then, no soldier dared to go out, finally bringing a brief peace.

But stationing a large army consumes resources. Since they refused to act, the undead shifted focus to their logistics. The once-repaired roads became bumpy and challenging to traverse. From time to time, undead armies would appear to attack logistic teams.

Later, they didn’t even know which incoming food was plagued and which was not, requiring magical treatment before consumption. Yet, the food was continually less and insufficient.

"This won’t do, if it continues, even we might collapse. I’ve decided, all the fourth-tier and above, don’t hide anymore, come out and eliminate those undead." Finally, a commander issued a battle order.
