Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 1893 Familiar

Everyone was a little excited as they debated one after another.

Feudal Lord Dani remained silent.

She understood the challenge of this mission.

The Holy Court had gathered the collective strength from various gaming realms to launch a full-scale assault. Her abilities alone wouldn't suffice.

She had spent so much time and effort to gain a foothold in the Enkama Empire and finally developed to where she was today.

Feudal Lord Dani was unwilling to surrender so easily.

However, it seemed that continuing the battle was becoming impossible.

Her rational mind urged her to find a way to limit the losses, but...

Suddenly, something caught Feudal Lord Dani's attention.

Her heart raced.

Fang Heng?

Feudal Lord Dani was surprised to spot a familiar name in the game prompt.

The player was assigned a mission related to infiltrating the Holy Court...

It was him?

Upon confirming Fang Heng's name, Feudal Lord Dani's eyes sparked.

"So, he's here too..."

Feudal Lord Dani murmured to herself.

"Everyone, there's no need to debate."

Feudal Lord Dani abruptly looked up at the assembly and spoke firmly, "There's no need to discuss whether to retreat or not. I have a plan to handle the trouble in the Jones Kingdom. Right now, we must concentrate all our elite forces on the front line to repel the Holy Court's adversaries."

"What's going on?"

At those words, whispers erupted among the crowd, many castings puzzled glances at Feudal Lord Dani.

She had urgently called everybody for a discussion, but now it seemed as if nothing had happened.

Had the issue been resolved?

"Feudal Lord Dani, the Holy Court's army has breached the Empire's borders through the Jones Kingdom. Reports indicate several towns have been attacked and destroyed," a commander from the Enkama Empire spoke up.

"What?" Another Enkama Empire commander hesitated before continuing, "There's a high likelihood the Holy Court will strike Gan City. The king fears that if Gan City falls, the capital will be directly exposed to the enemy..."

"I'm aware. I already have a solution. Please, don't worry," Dani nodded. "Right now, I've devised a plan to confront the Holy Court. The success of this plan will determine our future."

Everyone fell silent once more.

Upon hearing Feudal Lord Dani's proposed course of action, the entire council fell into a profound silence.

Pretend to retreat? Lay an ambush?

Feudal Lord Dani's strategy was incredibly risky.

The crowd stayed quiet, no one daring to speak for some time.

However, the feudal lord stood up, declaring, "My decision is final. There's no need for further discussion. Prepare to act!"

"Yes!"

Everyone didn't know where Dani's confidence came from. She suddenly became a different person, revealing her sharp edge.

In the domain of the Enkama Empire, Dani had always been the unwavering authority, holding absolute command over the players. They knew better than to contest her decisions publicly.

The assembly immediately dispersed to prepare both a retreat and an ambush plan.

As Dani watched them depart, a sharp glint shone in her eyes.

"Fang Heng..."

He had the courage and capability to deal with the Holy Court's Saintess, Viona.

Merely a few invading teams from the Holy Court were no trouble for him.

The most pressing issue was the front line.

Fang Heng's arrival offered her a glimmer of hope amid their dire circumstances.

If the plan succeeded, they could undoubtedly buy themselves more time.

After considering it, Dani reached out to her friend.

There was something incredibly important she needed to warn Fang Heng about.

He had to be cautious.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Fang Heng and his zombie clones remained hidden in the heart of the canyon, steadily depleting the passing troop numbers.

Three hours had elapsed, and Fang Heng had collected a rough understanding of the military fortress's deployment rhythm.

The Holy Court dispatched a reinforcement team from the town approximately every 15 minutes.

Sometimes it was a single cavalry regiment, and sometimes it was a mixed force.

The strength of the team was not very high. Most of them were led by a team leader.

As the soul of the captain of the Holy Court squad had been completely shattered by his soul control ability, the Holy Court didn't even know that there was an ambush in the canyon.

Reinforcement teams continuously streamed out, yet one aspect wasn't perfect.

The efficiency of their farming was too slow.

It lacked the thrill.

However, Fang Heng swiftly recognized a change in the situation. He promptly transformed into his bat form, soaring into the air to observe the soldiers departing from the military fortress.

A sizable troop was marching directly toward the canyon.

The team they encountered this time was different from the previous ones.

The number of teams had increased by dozens of times compared to before.

Moreover, the composition of the team was also different.

It wasn't solely comprised of Holy Court members but was an uncommon mixed force.

Most of the troops were soldiers from the Jones Kingdom, with a few Holy Paladins from the Holy Court mixed in.

Fang Heng even noticed the presence of several players within the team.

"Have I been discovered..." Fang Heng murmured to himself.

Currently, he had two options.

Firstly, he could retract the zombie horde, conceal themselves, and allow the approaching team to depart first. This way, he could hide and continue ambushing the team.

Alternatively...

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.

He would eliminate this army in one fell swoop!

Wipe them all out!

Eliminate as many as possible!

Fang Heng swiftly opted for the second plan.

After all, taking them down one by one was too slow.

At this pace, even an all-night grind might not yield enough.

A significant team had finally arrived.

Wipe them all out!

Fang Heng made the decision and promptly directed his zombie clones to hide carefully and be prepared for an ambush.

...

Not far away, a large party was slowly advancing towards the canyon.

This time, Anthea led the command team dispatched to explore the border areas of the Enkama Empire.

Anthea, the female commander of Jones Kingdom.

This collaboration with the Holy Court was undoubtedly a massive gamble for Jones Kingdom.

A win would secure decades of stability and immense benefits for the country.

However, if they lost...

Jones Kingdom might vanish from this world.

Anthea wasn't willing to take the risk, but the king had already made up his mind. He had even sent his uncle, who had promoted the cooperation with the Holy Court, to the military fortress to take charge of the overall situation.

Just a while ago, the Holy Court had received a warning from the players that there might be something unusual with the reinforcements they had sent out. At the request of Bishop Kotter of the Holy Court, the imperial uncle had ordered Anthea to lead a team to scout the area around the military fortress and the border of the Enkama Empire.

Ensuring safety was paramount.

In truth, Anthea had no desire to engage in direct warfare with the Enkama Empire.

They had an agreement with the Holy Court. Jones Kingdom soldiers wouldn't participate in the conflict.

She aimed to prepare for the worst.

Even if the kingdom lost this wager, she had to secure enough assets to safeguard Jones Kingdom.

The Empire's loyal soldiers were their final trump card.

Regrettably, it seemed her imperial uncle had been unduly influenced and issued the order.
