Chapter 1507: Battle of the Mo Capital (1)
Speaking of which, it was quite strange how the zombies were attacking the Mo Kingdom capital this time like a well-trained army. They pressed on toward the city wall in one wave after another.
At the beginning, they only made small-scale advancements. When they finally approached the northern city wall, large numbers of zombies charged toward the wall with hoarse roars.
It was as if there was some kind of central figure in the massive zombie army directing them on how to advance and do battle.
Yet Mo Lian and the others, who had braved the crisis at Beilan City, had already developed a highly effective set of methods to deal with the attacking zombies.
While standing at the top of the city gate tower, Qiao Mu surveyed the soldiers pushing the large catapult up onto it.
This catapult had been modified to include a groove for holding kerosene.
Once it was ignited, several soldiers would heave a boulder into the catapult together.
Qiao Mu watched that boulder instantly get consumed in flames as it rolled through the groove.
Suddenly, it flew a dozen meters into the air, and someone from inside the city wall smashed it flying with a *bam*. It then landed in the zombie pack with a boom.
This way, it would conserve a great deal of the mystic cultivators and body cultivators’ strength.
With these catapults’ assistance, common soldiers could also fight against the zombie army as long as they hid behind the gigantic catapults.
More than twenty catapults were soon pushed up onto the city gate tower. However, these huge weapons were so cumbersome that each one required a dozen common soldiers to get it to move.
Since the catapults required some time to set up, it was necessary for mystic cultivators to cover for them with long-distance attacks.
Crown Prince Mo, Duan Yue, and the others were standing on the city wall and looking down coldly at the zombie army blotting out the ground below.
This number probably amounted to several ten thousand.
Compared to the siege of Beilan City, there were only more, not less.
“We still underestimated them,” Duan Yue growled.
“Where did these things come from?” Wei Nanfeng could not help but mutter.
They all shared a common fate. If zombies truly overran human territory, then the entire Sikong Planet was not far from its demise.
After all, Mo Kingdom capital was the largest fortification in the northern region. If even the Mo Kingdom capital could not ward off this wave of zombies, then the problem had gotten extremely grave!
It would be even more impossible for the other smaller fortifications to withstand it.
“According to logic, it is not too possible for so many zombies to suddenly pop out overnight. There must have been a place where they were all corralled! They couldn’t just have appeared out of nowhere, right?” Liang Qingqing analyzed.
“There should be a large hidden underground village nearby! It is probably underneath the Gale Woods,” Mo Lian concluded grimly.
Baili Xi could not help but knit his brows when he heard this. “If even you cannot scout out where their rat nests are underground, then how should we eliminate these rat nests hidden deep underground when we go back.”
“That’s right. In this way, doesn’t it mean that they are the ones with the upper hand, and that they can invade my country whenever they want?” Wei Nanfeng couldn’t resist concurring.
Beside them, Wei Nanshu had already become ghastly pale. He hid behind Wei Nanfeng and cried out, “Third Brother, Third Brother, what should we do now! We’ve been besieged by zombies.”
If he had known, he wouldn’t have come to Northern Mo for the festivities. It was so terrifying. How could they ward off so many zombies?
“Shut up!” Wei Nanfeng swept a cold glance at this good-for-nothing.
This coward! His dignity as his Third Brother had been dashed by this guy!
