《Armipotent 》Chapter 54: Battling Against The Horde - Part 1

"He is dead!"
"Hahaha…" Zhao Zhong laughed loudly when he heard that.
"What? Why are you laughing? Have you gone insane?" Cao Jingyi startled.
"Huh? Insane?" Zhao Zhong merely shook his head at Cao Jingyi's words.
Back then, Tang Shaoyang could even defeat dozens of men at once. Let alone now, with the level system and attribute, the walking dead bodies aka zombies would not be able to kill that man. It was what he believed.
Cao Jingyi did not understand Zhao Zhong's train of thought. She did not even care about his thoughts. What the matter was to save her and her husband from the horde.
"Let's leave now, Wei Xi!" She called out her husband's full name while pulling his hand.
However, Wei Xi did not budge from his spot. His eyes were glued to the zombie horde, "Wait, Dear! Let's wait a little longer!"
"What? What are you waiting for? Your death!" Cao Jingyi was pissed off by her husband who believed a certain ruthless thug.
In the first place, she never agreed to stay in the base since the start of the establishment. But she knew the base was the best place to live in. She followed her husband to stay, but now, she was not going to follow her crazy husband.
"Then I am going to leave! You stay here with your dead cold-blooded Boss!" She threw her husband away.
Of course, Wei Xi did not release his grips on his wife.
"Look, Dear! I am right about him!"
With a displeased frown, Cao Jingyi followed her husband's direction toward the zombie horde.
There, she saw zombies were flying around in pieces. A man kept swinging the huge battle-ax, killing dozens of zombies in one swing.
"Told you, he was not that easy to be killed!" Zhao Zhong boasted before Cao Jingyi.
The girl rolled her eyes at Zhao Zhong. She made no further comment on Tang Shaoyang as she was amazed by the sight.

"Should we help?" Wei Xi was worried. No matter how strong Tang Shaoyang was, he was alone while the horde was just too many. It was impossible to defeat the horde alone.
"Mnn…" Zhao Zhong nodded his head, "We should assist Boss, you two take the right-wing, I will be taking the left-wing!"
The three nodded and made their move to help Tang Shaoyang.
Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang was frustratingly swinging his battle-ax.
"Why don't you fight me, f*ckers! Stop and fight me, don't you f*cking ignore me!" He was pissed off.
No matter how much zombies were butchered, they were not bothered by him. As if he was air.
"Boss! We come to help!" Zhao Zhong shouted from behind.
Along with the voice, Tang Shaoyang noticed the change in the horde. They marched forward faster, trying to reach Zhao Zhong. In fact, the zombie horde was split into two, one to his right and one to his left.
He looked back and found the zombies were after Zhao Zhong and Wei Xi.
"Hold your ground!" He shouted to the two.
From the current situation, he could use the two to buy more time. Hence he commanded the two to hold on their ground.
Tang Shaoyang helped Zhao Zhong and Wei Xi, while Cao Jingyi supported them with her bow. She only shot stage 2 zombies after her husband and Zhao Zhong.
Soon the woman realized something fishy. It was the fact the zombies were ignoring Tang Shaoyang.
"It's unfair! What trick do you use? Why the zombies are not attacking you?" Cao Jingyi called out loudly.
"Like hell, I know? I also don't want to be ignored as well!" Tang Shaoyang retorted furiously.
Thanks to the reinforcement, the four people managed to slow the horde further.
Unknowingly, the four were pushed out of the bridge. But they managed to buy time for almost an hour.
At this time, Zhao Zhong, Wei Xi, and Cao Jing were at their limit. Their breath ragged as sweats flooded their back.

"All right, it's enough! You can go back and inform the defense force the horde is coming! I am going to stay to reduce their number further!"
Tang Shaoyang ordered the three to get back.
"But…" Zhao Zhong wanted to stay and fight alongside the Boss.
"Go back, now!" Tang Shaoyang insisted.
"Yes!" The three nodded and retreated.
As the three retreated, the zombie horde resumed with their normal speed. They were still ignoring Tang Shaoyang's presence.
Not long after the three rushed back, they met with Zhang Mengyao and her two subordinates, Fu Dandan and Dai Wenqian.
Looking at the three in a sorry state and the missing Tang Shaoyang, Zhang Mengyao panicked.
"Where is he!?" She subconsciously raised her voice.
"Don't worry about him, he was good and still fighting the horde! He ordered us to get ready, the horde is coming!" Cao Jingyi reported to Zhang Mengyao.
Only then, the Female General was relieved. She nodded and immediately told the three to get a quick rest before ordering Fu Dandan and Dai Wenqian to inform the six main teams to get ready.
Zhang Mengyao herself stayed behind and rushed toward where Tang Shaoyang was.
Soon, she saw the man was fighting the horde alone. Not, it could not be described as fighting as only Tang Shaoyang who attacked the horde whilst the horde ignored him.
Zhang Mengyao rushed and pulled the bloody Tang Shaoyang. Yes, Tang Shaoyang's whole body was soaked by the zombies' blood.
"Enough! Don't waste your stamina on the small prey! Your power is needed to fight against stage 2 and stage 3 zombies!" The girl pulled her man with him.
Tang Shaoyang refused to follow at first, but he found she was right about that. Moreover, stage 1 zombies could be used by others to level up.
Tang Shaoyang and Zhang Mengyao retreated, letting the zombie horde advance unhindered.
"Everything is prepared! As long as we take care of stage 2 and stage 3 zombies, defeating the horde is not impossible!"
"Let's do that then!"
The pair rushed back to the defense they had been built. Putting the car into a line, it would be a perfect barrier to slow the zombie. Especially stage 1 zombie, it would take some time for them to climb up the car. By then, his people would kill them by the spear.
That was why Zhang Mengyao, especially the requested weapon, was a spear. They could poke the zombie from behind the car.
The flow of the battle was going as Zhang Mengyao had predicted. The horde split into four predicted roads at first, later the horde filled the other two main roads as well.
Strange enough, the horde that attacked them only consisted of stage 1 zombies. Despite being overwhelmed by the number of zombies, the Tang Empire managed to fend off the zombies well.
After five hours of continuous battle, all stage 1 zombies were cleared. Yes, no more zombies attacked them.
"We won!?" A man who was holding the spear with his trembling hands muttered unbelievably. He could not believe they would be able to defeat thousands of zombies with only hundreds of them.
Zhang Mengyao frowned. She felt something fishy. Because all the zombies that entered her road were only stage 1 zombies.
She exchanged a glance with Tang Shaoyang. The latter also felt fishy with the horde. Not only had he seen stage 2 and stage 3 zombies in the horde, but he had also killed a few of them as well. But where were they now?
While the pair confused, a scream resounded from the back.
The two looked back and saw a massive stage 2 zombies even stage 3 zombies came from their back.
The crawlers moved in the group, attacking the archer teams.

Tales of the Legendary Scholar
They meet in the most unlikely moment and turned their life around. Freidrech newly arrived in his own nation's capital city, which is so foreign to him compared to his village's idyllic and nondiscriminatory atmosphere, after he is forced to come. Now, he is facing a royal prince and tells him to bow. This draws out one of his late father's teachings from the deepest recesses in his mind. "The blood of your great ancestors runs in your veins. Don't easily bow down to anyone, or accept suppression by any being, not even from a monarch, unless you pledge your allegiance to him. Also, giving in to oppression is directly telling the oppressor that you're easy prey and open for manipulation." He is uncertain on how to face this oppression right now. Will he bows or not? What will he do to uphold his father's words while keeping his life safe? As for the prince, Theodrech has nothing to do with Freidrech, so he wishes to let this slip, but the boy opens his mouth and proposes the most ludicrous challenge he ever heard and triggers his curiosity. "I, Freidrech Goederf Gerboud, son of the late Village Chief Louvel Gerboud of Wrilon, will challenge you, Your Highness, to a battle of riddles… If you win, I will not only bow but be your servant for the rest of my life." This amuses the prince. It is the first he met a boy of the same age who is not intimidated by the air of authority he projects. Rather, this boy challenges him. "Why are you so headstrong? In fact, bowing to me is an honor. You saw the King's noble Knights. When they saw me, they bowed," says Theodrech, testing Freidrech. "Allow me to be forward, Your Highness. For me, bowing to a monarch does not guarantee loyalty. If I were you, I rather have men who stand straight in my presence but who got my back, than bowing men who are dreaming of my death," replies Freidrech. The prince’s curiosity increases. A huge smile is seen on his face. Prince Theodrech decides to take Freidrech under his wing. Little did they know, this boy who Prince Theodrech takes in as his confidant and friend in the most ridiculous fashion is someone indispensable in his life and the one who can help him succeed the throne when he almost believes he has lost. Thus, the Tales of the Legendary Scholar begins. ------ o ------ Old Synopsis: A famous ancient adage stated, behind a successful man is a woman BUT… In these lands, the monarchs are seeking not a woman to stand behind them but the man hailed as the Legendary Scholar.

Having a Common Game Ability In Normal Life
As long as i can remember, i can see something other people can't see Yes, on the top right of my vision, i have something that looks like a map, does it useful? how does something that blocks 1/32 of my vision to be useful? Does it have to be useful.. right? As i get older, this looks like "mini-map" in a video game that i played, so i decided to call this Mini-map at least I'm not the only one with this kind of thing.. from what I've found, everyone has different ability, for example my little sister can see another person status, there's a person that can heal wounds by eating meat, there's a person that once a day can spin roulette to get reward, there's a person that can jump twice in the air and there's a person that can throw fireballs..... wait a minute!? the story will be slow, since i just write this to train my english anyhow the idea of this story will be if someone can throw a fireball does their hand burns? if someone can jump for 30m can they survive the fall? if a bard play a song that can regen their allies, why’s the enemy isn’t regenerating? if a cleris creates a barrier can their allies attack from inside barrier? and About the first few chapter i know the grammar was really bad but it’ll help me if you guys read the first few chapter and go straight to the last and tell me have i improve or not P.S i hope The world has “common language” feature so everyone speak in the same tongue lol
