Human Clan Defender-Chapter 570 -s 291-292 Blood Mark (Two-in-One - Monthly Ticket and Bestseller Additional Release)_3
However, Great Qin was currently attacking Great Zhou. If Great Qin truly conquered Great Zhou entirely, then Great Liang would have no chance to claim a share of the spoils.
At that time, forcing a share would mean a complete fallout with Great Qin. If they did not wish for a fallout, their only option was to withdraw from the struggle for Great Zhou.
Thinking of this, Beiming Wang’s eyes hardened, and he immediately gave the order.
"Advance the entire army."
Having come this far, I am unwilling to just retreat like this. Even if there is indeed some unforeseen event in Great Zhou, Great Qin will bear the brunt of it.
Having made his decision, the army that had already halted advanced once again.
Not much time passed before scouts who had gone to gather intelligence returned, pale-faced and in haste.
"Report!"
"What’s the matter?"
The army continued to advance while Beiming Wang halted in the central formation, his majestic gaze falling on the man before him.
"HUFF... General... ahead, ahead there are many Dead Corpses! They are densely packed; as far as the eye... as far as the eye can see, there’s no end to them—"
The scout panted heavily, struggling to speak fluently. The deathly pallor of his face suggested he had seen something terrifying.
Dead Corpses!
Beiming Wang’s heart trembled violently. The scouts in his army had undergone rigorous training. They could always estimate the enemy’s numbers, no matter how vast.
To be described now as ’as far as the eye can see, with no end to them’... the number of Dead Corpses ahead must be unimaginable.
As he pondered his next move, more scouts arrived to report.
"General, a massive number of Dead Corpses have appeared on the left! They’re spreading across the hills and fields, surely numbering over a million!"
"General, a massive number of Dead Corpses have appeared on the right! The number is incalculable!"
"General, a massive number of Dead Corpses have appeared in the rear—"
One after another, the reports came, causing Beiming Wang’s expression to change drastically.
If there were only Dead Corpses in front, I could still devise a strategy, whether to fight or to retreat. But if Dead Corpses appear from all sides, then the army is essentially caught in an encirclement.
Based on the scouts’ reports, the total number of Dead Corpses from all directions was feared to exceed ten million.
I came to Great Zhou this time with merely two million troops. If we’re caught in a Dead Corpse encirclement, it’s highly likely the entire army will be annihilated.
Furthermore, Beiming Wang couldn’t be certain if there were even more Dead Corpses still unaccounted for.
If there are... then we are thoroughly doomed.
Without much hesitation, he immediately halted the entire army and once again issued an order.
"Full retreat! Leave Great Zhou!"
When things are beyond salvation, one must not persist. If these two million troops are entirely lost here, my culpability will be enormous.
It was obvious to Beiming Wang that Great Qin was definitely in an unfavorable situation.
Given this, Great Liang certainly cannot follow in Great Qin’s footsteps.
At his command, the army neatly turned around and headed out of Great Zhou’s territory.
But not long after the army began its march, they encountered an overwhelming surge of Dead Corpses. These creatures exuded a horrendous Yin Evil Aura that chilled one to the bone.
Great Zhou has gone mad!
Seeing those Dead Corpses, Beiming Wang’s face showed shock. The clothes on the Dead Corpses revealed their identities.
All of these Dead Corpses. They were all the common people of Great Zhou.
He instantly realized why all the cities Great Qin had attacked were abandoned. He also understood why, since entering Great Zhou, he hadn’t seen a single living soul from Great Zhou.
So that’s it—all those people have turned into Dead Corpses.
Having connected the cause and effect, Beiming Wang was also shocked at Great Zhou’s ruthlessness.
But he was not shocked for long. He immediately shouted in a stern voice, "Cavalry, charge! Your objective is to disperse the Dead Corpse encirclement! All others, follow closely! Remember, do not get bogged down in fighting; prioritize retreat!"
As his words fell, hundreds of thousands of cavalry charged.
Even when faced with the overwhelming Dead Corpses, none showed a hint of fear on their faces.
What of Dead Corpses? As the elite of Great Liang, we are no strangers to killing these things!
Soon, the two torrents of forces clashed.
In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere.
A great number of Dead Corpses were trampled under hooves and pierced by spears. However, as long as their heads were not shattered, the Dead Corpses were not easily killed.
Some Dead Corpses, even when pierced by a spear, did not fall. Instead, they grabbed onto the weapon, preventing their adversaries from withdrawing it in time.
At the same time, even more Dead Corpses rushed to slaughter the cavalry.
Some men were pulled down from their mounts; some warhorses were directly gnawed upon by the Dead Corpses.
When the cavalry charge failed to completely break through the Dead Corpses, their momentum was already contained.
Seeing this, Beiming Wang could no longer restrain himself.
The main reason for the cavalry charge’s unstoppable power is its irresistible momentum. Now that the charge has stalled, the cavalry has little advantage left.
With this in mind, he leaped from his horse into the air. His silver spear danced, and True Qi coalesced into spear-flowers that detonated amidst the Dead Corpse throng.
BOOM!
A large swath of Dead Corpses was cleared away.
Following that, Beiming Wang landed among the Dead Corpses. His spear moved like a swift dragon, and each thrust, empowered by his strength, annihilated a dozen Dead Corpses.
However, the surrounding Dead Corpses were endless and unafraid of death.
Although his initial strike had created an opening, it was quickly filled.
Seeing this, he pressed forward, his spear becoming a Pozhen weapon, heading straight into the depths of the Dead Corpse ranks.
The others followed closely behind.
「In another direction,」
The people of Dayue faced the same predicament. Wang Xiao’s fist struck with earth-shattering might. The strong warriors in the army cleared the way ahead, and the rest of the troops steadily retreated.
