Armipotent Chapter 419
Advertisement
Tang Shaoyang had to stop what he was doing and joined Zhang Mengyao and Wei Xi. Wen was with them while the others were outside, moving to the wall, preparing for another battle.
"Can you estimate the number of the enemy?" Zhang Mengyao asked. The question was directed to the Jade Eagle who found the armies after a night patrol.
"I don't know, but it should be at least twice as much as the armies in Hangzhou," Wen was not sure with his calculation, "Also, they are in a rush and many are left far behind from the frontline."
"We can ask that to Sheron. She should know," Wei Xi and Zhang Mengyao did not know who this Sheron was.
"Sheron was the female zombie subdued by Yu Shun. She is the zombie in charge of this city," as he explained that to the two, he called Yu Shun to come over.
A moment later, Yu Shun and Sheron joined them, "Forty million, King Biron took forty million armies with him."
"And the armies we fought early were over ten million zombies," Tang Shaoyang added for more information.
"Should we retreat?" Zhang Mengyao immediately proposed to retreat, "Our people are still exhausted from the battle in the afternoon. They are still recovering from exhaustion. I don't think we can fight them with our condition."
"But what if they pursue us?" Tang Shaoyang asked his Supreme General, "I doubt their intention is only seizing the city. They must be wanting to kill us, all of us."
"It seems we have no choice but to fight the armies," Zhang Mengyao realized her mistake when Tang Shaoyang questioned her. If the armies pursued them, they had to fight them.
They had refugees who could not fight in Jiaxing City and Hangzhou's city wall was more reinforced and sturdy than the one in Jiaxing. Hangzhou was a strategic position for them. Utilizing the sturdy and high wall, they might have a better chance to win if they fought here.

"Then I will buy time! Three hours, I will hold the attack for three hours! That should be enough for them to recover, right?" Tang Shaoyang had his own idea.
He could fight the armies by himself, not that he was cocky, but that was possible for the current him. However, that would defeat the purpose of touching his army. The main purpose of this was to train his army.
He could not take all the weak zombies by himself or else they would have to face stronger zombies in the future. The zombies kept evolving, the next time they met another zombie army. The zombie armies' composition might be a mix of stage-3 zombies and stage 4 zombies instead of stage-2 zombies.
"You, alone!?" Zhang Mengyao raised her voice "Nope, I don't agree. You are the Leader, we can't put you in the most dangerous spot! There's no need to rest. We will fight together!"
"No, let the soldiers get some rest to recover. I am eager for a battle as well," Tang Shaoyang shook his head.
There were so many things he wanted to try. Skill Fusion for example. He wanted to try [Thousand Blasts] and [Invisible Slash] together, it would be a powerful skill if he could fusion the two skills.
Of course, not all skills could trigger the Skill Fusion. He had tried [Flame Shield] and [Mana Shroud] at the same time. However, it did not trigger the Skill Fusion. That meant not all skills could be merged, and it must be two compatible skills that could trigger the Skill Fusion.
"But…" Zhang Mengyao wanted to speak more but Tang Shaoyang waved his hand at her, "You guys can stay on my back to take care of the zombies out of my reach."
"It's decided, get ready!" Tang Shaoyang decided. This was the best decision for them, for his army.

However, to his surprise, all the people were ready to fight another battle. Even though the plan was for them to stay on the wall, the Tarriors wanted to follow their Lord to fight.
Foolish he might say but Tang Shaoyang was satisfied with their attitude, "Order is Order! You stay on the wall and join the battle later!"
That was the order, absolute order of the Lord. Just like that, Tang Shaoyang went out of the gate. Of course, he was not alone. Wen, Kairu, Pride, Yu Shun, Wei Xi, Zhang Mengyao, Li Na, Liang Suyin, and the other Captains followed, leaving Kang Xue in charge of the army.
"Are you sure we don't need to support them?" Helia, the Chief of the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe asked Kang Xue.
The two were standing on top of the wall, watching a group of people, less than a hundred to face forty million zombies. After knowing the number of the enemies, the armies followed the order. They stayed out of the battle and joined later when they were signaled to join.
"This might be your chance to find how strong The Lord you serve, Helia," Kang Xue smiled in response. A complete opposite of Zhang Mengyao, she trusted her man as the strongest man. The zombies should not be an issue for him.
"I still think that retreat is the wise decision. Our enemy is not only the Zombie Kingdoms. Bombyx Mori Tribe was also one of our enemies and also the Lionax Kingdom which was an unknown force," Helia expressed her thoughts.
"Hehe, you will soon understand that your concern is pointless," Kang Xue let out a chuckle.
Helia was not the only one who was concerned about their superiors.
"What should we do? What should we do!? Should we run?" Gan Shuo panicked as soon as he knew that the enemies had forty million zombies.
"Escape? To where?" Liao Zhenya asked the older man while shaking her head, "You are more spineless than you look, Uncle Gan."
Gan Shuo rolled his eyes at the young people who teased him, "I am not spineless, I am being realistic. Our enemy is forty million zombies. It's forty million! Do you think we can win with only a thousand people?"
"We have the Fogged Ape Tribe and the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe. We have a strong vanguard and also support. On top of that, Our Lord is shockingly stronger than you thought!" Liao Zhenya commented from the side.
"We can win against ten million zombies without Lord Shaoyang joining the battle. With him starting the battle, it should be easy for us to win even if there are forty million zombies," Zhen Yang added confidently.
It was not blind confidence, but the confidence he acquired from watching the spirit summoning. Even after watching all of that, he and Liao Zhenya still could not see Lord Tang Shaoyang's real power. From the battles against the spirit, they could tell that The Lord never went all out, even fighting a creature that was similar to a dragon.
Gan Shuo looked at the two as if he was looking at fools, "What happened during an hour of our separation? How can you have that much faith in someone you just see today?"
Zhen Yang shook his head and gestured forward with his head, "Look! The enemy has arrived, let's focus on the battle!"
Gan Shuo could feel the slight vibration from the wall. It was an indication that the forty million zombies were coming closer.
