Chapter 545 Old Master Wei's Worries, The Last 5 Kilometers
Chapter 545 Old Master Wei's Worries, The Last 5 Kilometers
The wave-like advance is only suitable for the first half of the journey, mainly because the first half is closer to the city and not too deeply involved in the undead army, so you can call for support from the city at any time.
But in the second half, it becomes a one-way trip, and only by winning can everyone return safely!
"Three commander-level undead creatures, plus Commander Fenner, maybe we really do have a chance to make it back alive this time," an old mage said excitedly.
"Is the second half of the road really that terrible?" Zhao Manyan handed Old Master Wei a cigarette and asked seriously.
Old Master Wei took the cigarette Zhao Manyan offered, lit it, and took a deep drag. The smoke swirled around his sallow face, and perhaps because the smoke was squinting, he squinted as he said, "Terrible is an understatement. I remember the last time the pyramid projection appeared, we practically had to step over the corpses of our brothers to reach the very center pyramid. If Commander Fenner hadn't started the burning light to dissolve the projection in time, we would have been wiped out. This pyramid is far smaller than the last one."
"You said it's not as good as the last one, so what are we afraid of?" Mo Fan said.
"It's not as simple as you think. To get close to the pyramid and release the projection of the mirage from the Burning Disc, we must break through the blockade of the Wrathful Sword Servants!" said the old mage.
"Those undead we encountered at the second camp?" Mo Fan asked.
"Hmm," the old mage took another puff of his cigarette, "What you encountered before was only a small part. As one of the Pharaoh's most loyal servants, the Wrathful Sword Servants are not only numerous but also highly trained. Apart from a few scattered on the outskirts, most of them are concentrated in the core area of the mirage."
"Although the mirage is just an illusory pyramid and the most terrifying undead inside the pyramid will not appear, the fierce sword-wielding death servants guarding it can still cause us considerable casualties."
"Judging from the size of the pyramids appearing in this mirage, there are probably around 500 Fiend Sword Death Servants guarding it. Getting through their death blockade will be difficult!!"
Looking at the old mage Wei with a worried expression, the members of the National Team had different thoughts, but they were not too worried about their own safety. A super-level mage might not be able to deal with those vicious sword assassins, but there was someone who could. However, if they really did that, it would expose their trump card in advance!
What they didn't know was that Jiang Han had already begun planning how to maximize the benefits of this operation.
For others, the undead may be a disaster, a death, but for Jiang Han, who minors in necromancy and has dozens of undead summons, it is an opportunity to rapidly increase his strength.

As dusk falls, streaks of crimson blood are carelessly smeared across the land, reflecting the ever-changing colors and thus writing the cruelty of the battlefield.
At this moment, the personnel of the fourth camp suddenly began to assemble, preparing to launch an assault on the final five kilometers. From there, they had to press on and rush to the pyramids to unleash their scorching light, or they would be surrounded and ultimately become the undead of this land, knowing only how to kill.
The last five kilometers are not only the area with the highest density of undead, but also the area with the strongest undead population. Dark hordes of corpses are scattered throughout the yellow basin, while the mirage projection of the pyramid is located in the very center of the basin.
"Holy crap!!"
Perhaps sensing the humans leaning on their shoulders, the undead within dozens of kilometers of the houses suddenly stirred, forming a dark 'forest of corpses' that filled every inch of sight. Everywhere were hideous faces, mangled bodies, rotting fumes, and bloodthirsty eyes…
"Rush!!"
As Commander Fenner gave the order, a ray of blue starlight, symbolizing protection, suddenly rose into the sky, making the signal for the charge visible to the entire guard.
"Charge!! Kill them all!!!"
"Destroy the pyramids!!!"
"Long live Egypt!!!"
Amidst shouts of battle, the guards transformed into a surging torrent, bursting through the Forest of Corpses in one fell swoop. The magical starlight illuminated the twilight, and countless undead perished within.
The howling of the dead, the dark winds sweeping across the land, anger and resentment coalescing into a mountain, weighing heavily on everyone's heart. The dead are creatures without any fear, and they are not afraid of pain. They have only one will in their minds, which is to tear apart all the humans who invade their territory, chew them up, and finally swallow them whole!
A place where the living and the dead coexist, where even the soil carries the stench of blood. This is the second largest war zone after the ocean battlefield, and it will also be a 'testing ground' forging countless powerful mages capable of holding their own against a whole group.
The latest novel is first published here!
The battle, which started in an orderly fashion, turned into utter chaos. The undead, which resembled a mountain forest, made it impossible to tell which way to go. Many of the guardian mages, having lost their way, could only rely on instinct to fight the undead.
With the help of the undead general and undead warriors leading the way, the National Government team was able to wreak havoc on all sides, with powerful magic constantly falling into the horde of corpses and wiping out large numbers of them. However, they soon encountered trouble!
