Chapter 21: Crossing Stanger (Part II)
As soon as he got off the tower, Mike found a large number of zombies in the city. Due to the light at night, Mike didn't know exactly how many of them were, and could only surmise from their screams that there should be quite a few.
So, Mike organized the sergeant to use the previous squad as a combat unit, and slowly moved towards the city gate in a circle with his back against him. Although the speed of movement is not fast, it is better to be steady.
Originally, according to this tactic, it would be impossible for this group of zombies to stop them. But as a pair of wings unfolded, one squad collapsed in an instant, followed by a second squad, and a third ......
Mike's formation collapsed in an instant, and the pair of jet-black wings looked so strange in the moonlight that it was reminiscent of the mythical image of death.
Seeing this, Commander Mike finally understood how Stanger had fallen. The devil frantically harvested the lives of the soldiers in the crowd, and the dead soldiers immediately got up and joined the zombie army as soon as they fell to the ground.
"Run, rush to the city gate with all your might!", Mike shouted, and it didn't matter what formation was at this point. Mike knew that it was impossible to kill this devil with their current strength, and it was estimated that he would be doomed today.
"So many brothers have been sacrificed, and today the gates must be opened no matter what. Mike had such a firm belief rising in his heart at this moment.
The team began to charge desperately towards the gates, and the high-ranking Sam zombie followed. Despite his slow movements, every step he took brought immense oppression to Mike and his soldiers.
After losing most of his soldiers, Commander Mike finally stormed the narrow passage of the city gate with two hundred brothers. Looking at the zombies crowded in the corridor, Mike knew he had no choice.
By the time Mike rushed to the control room, there was no one around, and he had been bitten by zombies, at which point Mike knew that he had no way to live.
Although he successfully entered the control room, he alone could not push the switch to open the city gate.
"Did you still lose at the last step?", Mike was already a little desperate at this time.
In desperation, Mike saw a thick iron chain on the ground, then looked up at the somewhat deformed iron door, and he knew that the Grim Reaper was behind the door.
Suddenly, a bold idea arose in his mind. He walked briskly towards the iron gate, slowly opening it. Mike glanced at a chain tied to a switch, and then at the high-level zombies outside the door, and he suddenly smiled......
Outside the city-state of Stanger.
General Elier felt the silence in the city and waited for a while, but there was still no movement in the city, but the back of the team began to be noisy.
"Zombies, a lot of zombies. The soldiers at the back of the line began to shout.
General Elier had to lead his team to turn around and engage the zombies, but it didn't take long for him to find that there were more and more zombies, more and more......
"It's over, the zombie army has arrived. General Elier thought desperately when he saw the endless zombie legions in front of him.
There seems to be no way now, the troops who rushed into the city are estimated to have been wiped out by the zombies, and now the city gate cannot be opened.
In front is an impassable moat, and in the back is an endless army of zombies. Although they were able to hold out for a short time, it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out.
"I'm really unwilling!", Elaire thought to herself.
At this moment, General Elier was already desperate, and from the moment he joined the army, he was ready to die in battle. But that kind of preparation refers to a glorious death in battle for the country, not a humiliated death at the hands of a group of evil devils as today.
Of course, fate is such a strange thing, it will play with you, but it won't kill you.
Just when General Elier was holding the idea of "killing one without losing money, killing two to return to the capital", he was ready to lead the army to fight the zombies to the death. With a "Duang", Stanger's door opened suddenly, and General Elier was stunned for a moment.
After the shield soldiers were left behind, the cavalry charged towards the city gate, and the rest of the men withdrew in an orderly manner. General Elier finally reacted and began to organize the evacuation in an orderly manner.
Under the orders of General Elier, the army poured into the city in a swift and orderly manner.
The cavalry opened the way and quickly smashed away the zombies in the city gate, and the follow-up troops followed. As the last team entered, the gate slammed shut.
Seeing the broken shield soldier being engulfed by the zombie tide in an instant, Eliaire sighed heavily. After the evacuation, General Elier had less than 60,000 men and horses left, which can be said to be a heavy loss.
However, fate did not give General Elier any respite, and closing the city gate only blocked the zombie army outside the gate. But let's not forget, there are still 10,000 zombies and one high-level zombie in the city, and the battle has just begun.
As soon as General Elier stepped out of the corridor, he found that the troops who rushed in had already fought with the zombies, and the scene was very chaotic.
Of course, with General Elier's rich experience in fighting zombies, he estimated that the zombies in the city should not pose much of a threat to them.
But it didn't take long for General Elier to realize that something was wrong, and there was a corner where the situation was very bad. A large number of soldiers flocked in either direction, but they still couldn't stop the zombies from advancing.
On closer inspection, General Elier was stunned, a winged zombie mixed in with the zombie army. Thinking of the fall of the city-state of Stanger, General Elier shuddered.
"All personnel are on standby, and all efforts are made to kill the winged zombie. Thinking that this zombie was most likely the culprit behind the destruction of Stanger, General Elier immediately ordered to kill it with all his might.
Perhaps General Elier didn't know what was really terrifying about high-level zombies, but his keen awareness of years of fighting still made him make the most correct choice in his first reaction.
A large number of cavalry cleared the way, the infantry followed, and all the archers were ready to prevent the zombies from attacking from above.
Of course, they are overly concerned, after all, zombies move by instinct, and they don't have the few thoughts of humans, just to satisfy the desire to eat.
The battle continued until noon the next day, with heavy losses on Erne's army. Looking at the corpses all over the ground and the army of less than 30,000 horses, Eliel was speechless for a long time, not knowing whether he was a victory or a defeat.
While cleaning up the battlefield, General Elier found broken chains and a headless corpse on the switch in the control room, and then he found the half-severed chain on the left leg of the high-ranking zombie.
Holding a medal found from the corpse, General Elier remembered the young man named Mike. This is a young man with a lot of potential, courage, resourcefulness, he has both, and Eliel has always seen him as a man to be made.
I remember that this medal was awarded to him personally after the end of a battle. Thinking of this, General Elier sighed for a moment.
Unbeknownst to General Elier, of course, it was two high-ranking zombies attacking the city-state of Stanger, and he killed only one of them......
