Chapter 9: The Battle of the Holocaust
Three days later, Zhuang Yichen's realm was completely stabilized, and his strength had truly stepped into the realm of a great magician. In the necromancer's legacy, Zhuang Yichen learned five intermediate magics at once, namely Elemental Boiling, Extreme Cold Impact, an upgraded version of the Necromancer's Resurrection, and the Mage Shield and Ice Wall.
Needless to say, the first two are powerful attack magic. And the mage shield and the ice wall gave Zhuang Yichen two more means of defense again. The most important of these is the magic of resurrection of the dead.
The necromantic creatures summoned by Necromantic Summoning will leave a spiritual imprint in Zhuang Yichen's mind, so there is a limit to the number of them. Can only be used as a raised elite pet. And the resurrection of the dead is also to summon necromantic creatures, although the strength of the summoned necromantic creatures is limited, but it is not limited in number, and it cannot enter Zhuang Yichen's necromantic space. It is a real means of cultivating a massive army of necromancy!
With the sound of bricks and stones, the only two skeleton brothers under Zhuang Yichen's command broke through the rubble covering the basement and cleared a passage. As soon as Zhuang Yichen came out of the ground, he immediately put away the minotaur warriors and mobilized the power of the Tower of the Undead to shield his surroundings.
The sky was overcast and gray, and there was not a ray of sunlight in sight. In front of him was a flat ruin of masonry, and as far as the eye could see, only the broken walls of the forward fortress stood on top of the wasteland.
The army of the Sinking Demon had retreated, and Zhuang Yichen couldn't help but sigh as he listened to the faint sound of artillery fire in the distance. At this point, Camp Dawn should be in danger as well. And as long as he reveals his aura, once it is detected by the undead, he will face endless terrifying pursuits.
Now that the laws of the plane have been completely stabilized, it is only one step away from complete assimilation with the Eternal Continent. Under the heavenly level, they can exert all their power on the earth plane without fear.
The undead who fought him yesterday was a seven-star great magister, and now that Zhuang Yichen had stabilized his realm, the undead had also regained his full strength. At this time, if Zhuang Yichen faced the undead again, he would be killed by one blow without any suspense.
What's more, now the Harpy, Gargoyle, Demon Dragon and other flying classes have dominated the sky. Escaping by flying alone is also wishful thinking.
Just as his mind was drifting and he was about to plan his next move, the direction of Camp Dawn suddenly lit up. The flash of light was without warning, and before Zhuang Yichen could react, he saw that the flash instantly covered his entire field of vision, and then only a dazzling white light remained in his vision.
The speed at which light travels is constant and unsurpassable, is one of the laws of this cosmic plane. Just as there are only three dimensions on the macro level, the rules cannot be changed.
The bright light flashed, and Zhuang Yichen only had time to cover Niuniu's eyes, threw her to the ground, and hugged her in his arms. By the time he had done all this, he was blind.
At this time, the deafening explosion sounded in Zhuang Yichen's ears. In an instant, a powerful shockwave roared through his back, flattening the already flattened ground.
Zhuang Yichen stretched out a wall of ice to cover his body, allowing the terrifying shock wave to consume the ice wall layer by layer, and also consume the magic power in his body.
Unable to withstand the monster's terrifying attack, the Dawning Camp finally launched a 100,000-ton tactical nuclear warhead. After a long time, the shock wave finally dissipated. Zhuang Yichen climbed out of the ground, and then pulled Niuniu up.
"Niuniu, are you hurt, is there anything uncomfortable?"
"Brother, I'm fine." Niuniu's voice rang in his ears, and it didn't sound unusual.
"Do you have something in your eyes that you can see?"
"Well, it's okay, you can see it."
Zhuang Yichen breathed a sigh of relief, his spiritual power expanded, and the situation around him clearly appeared in his mind. At this time, his eyes had been temporarily blinded by the intense white light. But fortunately, under the perception of mental power, although blindness is a little troublesome, it is not a big problem.
It's just a small-yield tactical nuclear warhead, plus it's still some distance from Camp Dawn. So the shock wave that arrived here was not very violent.
Zhuang Yichen checked his body, although the mana consumption was a little intense, his body was intact and uninjured. He pulled Niuniu, and then quickly evacuated towards the north of Jiangcheng.
It doesn't take long after a nuclear explosion for a black rain of radiation to fall. Zhuang Yichen led Niuniu aimlessly towards the wilderness, the world was vast and empty. The real apocalypse has finally arrived.
April 1, the first year of the Dark Age, April Fool's Day.
The laws of the plane have been largely assimilated, and the war between the Earth and the undead has broken out.
The Chinese battlefield, the first day.
A total of 19 first-class camps in Dihua, Yumen, Ganzhou, Longquan, and Changzhi fell, and countless military garrisons similar to the advance fortresses were destroyed. On the first day of the war, more than 20 tactical nuclear warheads with a yield of less than 100,000 tons were launched on the Huaxia battlefield.
On the tenth day of the war, under the unrelenting offensive of the Necromantic Army, the whole country had to start a helpless and tragic strategic retreat, shrinking its forces and focusing on defense.
Taking the Jinling Military Region as an example, in a desperate situation, the military region took the initiative to abandon the two core camps of Tongzhou and Shuguang, and urgently transferred all its troops and materials to Xuzhou, an important town in the south. Then, with Xuzhou as the center, the defense system was reconstructed.
Xuzhou has the most complete industrial system in the entire Jinling Military Region, and large military enterprises such as Xuzhou Heavy Industry and North Group have branches here. This is the last industrial lifeline of the Jinling Military Region, and it can only be defended.
Millions of civilians in the Shuguang camp and the Tongzhou camp were ruthlessly abandoned, and they were not good at commanding the army and not being good at government. Against the backdrop of the nation's strategic contraction, tens of millions of people who have survived the catastrophe of the last days have been thrown into the endless abyss again.
On April 27, the first year of the Dark Age, the war continued for a whole month. The undead mobilized millions of necromantic horsemen and launched a final offensive against Kyoto, the political center of China.
The military dropped five nuclear bombs with a yield of 3 million tons in succession, reducing the entire province of Genshu outside of Kyoto to rubble. At the last moment of the battle, Huaxia was determined to detonate all the nuclear weapons in the country and directly restart the earth's civilization, which finally made the undead jealous and collapsed the offensive of the undead race.
After this battle, which later generations called the Battle of the Holocaust, the war entered the longest phase of stalemate.
