<h4>Chapter 1901 Conscription</h4>


    Not far away, Fang Heng observed as the number of zombies was continually diminished by the magical crystal cannons. He couldn''t help but be lost in thought.


    The locations of the three fortresses built by the Jones Kingdom were indeed strategically advantageous. Additionally, the attacking capability of the zombie clones was somewhatcking. If the zombie clones maintained too loose a formation, the knight regiments of Jones Kingdom would weave in and out, effortlessly eliminating the zombie clones. However, if they were too densely packed, they would be blown away by the magicite cannons.


    Seeing that victory was not within immediate reach, Fang Heng muttered to himself, "Just keep consuming them."


    Indeed, as the yers had mentioned, military fortresses were easy to defend but difficult to attack. This battle wouldn''t be resolved quickly.


    He didn''t lose out. It was merely a matter of patience on both sides.


    The usage of the magicite cannons required substantial energy, and they also had durability limitations. Continuous usage over a short period led to overheating, significantly increasing the failure and damage rates.


    Fang Heng didn''t believe that they couldunch the magical crystal cannons forever.


    In addition, the knight battalions and Holy Pdins of Jones Kingdom were also slowly being consumed by his zombies.


    The casualty ratio was a bit high, even reaching a few hundred to one.


    But who cared! Each kill was a gain.


    Fang Heng estimated that at this rate, the number of zombie clones behind him might not be enough.


    Maybe he could find a ce to reinforce?


    Turning around, Fang Heng gazed at Jasmin and the group of yers, asking, "By the way, do any of you have a map of the nearby area?"


    "A map?" Jasmin and the other yers, still in awe of the zombie siege, were momentarily stunned by Fang Heng''s request. Why would he need a map at a time like this?


    "We have one, yes." Jasmin quickly came back to his senses and handed over the map from his backpack.


    Taking the map, Fang Heng rapidly flipped through it.


    After bypassing the front military fortress, the rear was Jones Kingdom''s hintend, containing several gathering points for wild creatures.


    Excellent.


    With the military fortresses surrounded, Fang Heng could conduct a two-pronged attack. He could use the zombie clones to gradually wear down the main battlefield while simultaneously locating lower-level creature gathering points. By leveraging the ''Mutated Infection'' effect of the zombie clones, he could reinforce his troops.


    "I need to leave for a while to handle some matters," Fang Heng said, raising his head. "Let''s exchangemunication IDs first. You guys stay here. If you notice anything, use the survival radio to inform me promptly."


    "Sure, no problem." Jasmin was a bit surprised and he nodded quickly. The ID of a big shot, this was a friendship slot worth a fortune!


    Adding Jasmin to his friends, Fang Heng split a batch of zombie clones from the main group.


    "Chi, chi, chi..."


    Hundreds of zombie clones formed a flesh cocoon on the spot.


    After a moment, Lickers crawled out from the cocoon.


    "Go!" Fang Heng waved towards the right side of the fortress.


    "Chi, chi, chi..."


    Following Fang Heng''smand, the Lickers immediately darted along the edge covered by the magical crystal cannons'' bombardment range of the military fortress!


    In the distance, on the city wall, a quick-moving group of Licker creatures caught the attention of the Jones Kingdom members as they swiftly crossed the artillery zone.


    "It''s mutated ghouls!"


    "They''reing this way!"


    "Not towards the fortress."


    "Stop them! Don''t let them breach the artillery defense line!"


    "They''re aiming to cross the border!"


    If the ghouls broke through, the territory behind them would be Jones Kingdom''s hearnd!


    The magical crystal cannons were all aimed at the area where the Lickers were.


    They simultaneously fired!


    What?


    Right before the magical crystal cannons were about to hit the Lickers, a faint white dot suddenly overflowed from the group of Lickers.


    "Boom! Boom boom!"


    The cannons hit the ground where the Lickers were rapidly moving, creating deep craters, but, unexpectedly, the air was left with only echoes.


    Where were the Lickers?


    The onlookers on the city wall were astounded.


    Despite the multitude of Lickers, they vanished the moment before the cannonsnded!


    Suddenly, themander shouted, "Look! Over there!"


    Whoosh, Whoosh...


    Pale white starlight appeared in the distance.


    The group of Lickers seemed to traverse through a certain space, emerging from the other side and sprinting forward at high speed!


    Space traversal?


    What kind of eerie ability was this?


    Since when could the undead exhibit such powers?


    On the city walls, the members of Jones Kingdom couldn''t help but feel a chill.


    "Hehe."


    Behind them, Fang Heng chuckled and wiped the sweat off his forehead.


    It was the secondary space projection ability!


    This marked the first time he simultaneously manipted so many Lickers to enter secondary space projection and swiftly move within it, imposing a substantial strain on his mental strength.


    Moreover, one-third of the Lickers lost control and perished within the spatial projection.


    It still worked out!


    If they had charged directly into the bombardment area of the magicite cannon, probably less than one-fifth of them would have survived.


    "Fire! Stop them!"


    The imperial uncle regained his senses and shouted from the city wall, "Don''t let them break through!"


    The soldiers on the city wall had already prepared for the second round of magicite cannon attacks.


    However, the Lickers'' movement speed was incredibly fast. They continued to run forward for a distance in the secondary projection space. By the time the magicite cannon fired its second round of attacks, they had already moved out of the effective range.


    "Boom! Boom!"


    After the second wave of concentrated magicite cannon attacks, only a few scattered shots hit the Lickers, causing effective damage.


    "Follow me! Charge!"


    Seeing this, Anthea immediately led the heavy-armored knights behind her to rush forward and support. They aimed to stop the Lickers that had invaded the territory of Jones Country.


    Unlike the slow-moving normal zombies, the Lickers were agile lifeforms that were easier to control!


    Seeing Anthea chasing them with the heavy knights, Fang Heng immediately controlled the Lickers to split up. In an instant, they divided into ten to twenty small teams. After passing by the military fortress, they flew in all directions and invaded the hintend of Jones Kingdom!


    Anthea''smanding ability was very strong, but no matter how strong she was, she couldn''t split the heavy-armored knights behind her into a dozen small teams to chase after them. She could only watch helplessly as the Lickers quickly entered the hintend of Jones Kingdom and gradually disappeared.


    D*mn it!


    Anthea gripped the knightmander''s spear tightly, sensing a sense of powerlessness rising in her heart.


    The military fortress was still under the threat of the undead, and she couldn''t even chase after the invading Lickers!


    "Retreat!"


    Anthea knew that the undead were plotting something. Allowing these Lickers to invade the country was not a good thing, but she had no choice. The military fortress was under attack, so she could only turn back and rescue them.


    Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief.


    About 400 Lickers attacked, and in the end, less than 200 Lickers managed to break out of the encirclement.


    Enough!


    Fang Heng nced at the dazed Jasmin and the others behind him, then slowly retreated into the zombie team behind him. He transformed into his bat form and flew into the sky from another direction, entering the hintend of Jones Kingdom.
