Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2694  Confrontation

The death realm?!

Upon hearing this, everyoneʼs expressions turned serious.

The undead had found the power of the death realm, which was incredibly bad news for the Holy Court, who were already in a precarious situation.

No wonder they dared to engage in direct battle with the Holy Court.

”Temple Knight Legion, listen up!”

The commander of the Knight Legion raised his knightly sword high and shouted, ”Follow me! Charge!”

At his command, the Knight Legion charged towards the Dark Clanʼs War Knights stationed at the base of the city walls.

Faced with the charge, the War Knights didnʼt initiate their own attack but instead remained stationary beneath the city walls, coldly observing the incoming threat.

The next moment, undead magic spells began raining down from the walls, targeting the center of the Knight Legion.

Black soul explosions erupted continuously!

In an instant, the Holy Light emanating from the Radiant Knights flashed violently.

The undead magic spells focused more on applying negative effects rather than direct damage, which was especially effective against the holy shields of the Radiant Knights.

The continuous bombardment of soul explosions forced the charge of the Radiant Knights to halt. The warhorses became unstable, unable to continue charging forward.

The knights were stuck halfway, their speed slowed, turning them into living targets for the undead spells raining down from above.

A few Holy Court judges exchanged glances, each seeing the grave concern in the othersʼ eyes.

Although they hadnʼt yet acted, the undead side had not yet deployed the Bone Dragons or the undead teachers on the battlefield either.

Archbishop Everett of the Holy Court, with a grim expression, analyzed the strength comparison between the two sides, and said in a low voice, ”Judges, the death realm mages are strong. With our current strength, itʼs going to be difficult to take Dark City in a short amount of time.”

Judge Jorrit nodded and looked up towards the sky, saying, ”Do not worry, reinforcements are on the way. Under the guidance of the holy power, all corruption will be eradicated.”

As he spoke, tiny fragments of holy aura began to descend from the sky.

Judge Jorrit nodded and looked up towards the sky, saying, ”Do not worry, reinforcements are on the way. Under the guidance of the holy power, all corruption will be eradicated.”

As he spoke, tiny fragments of holy aura began to descend from the sky.

The Holy Light once again pierced the dark clouds above Dark City, descending upon the earth.

The arrival of reinforcements from the Holy Realm Knights on the battlefield boosted the morale of the Holy Court players.

But something seemed off.

Judge Jorrit frowned, feeling a sense of confusion.

Strange.

Why were there so few reinforcements from the Holy Realm this time?

The commander of the Holy Realmʼs Holy Radiance Knight Legion, who had just emerged from the Divine Descent, signaled for his subordinates to stop. He approached Archbishop and Judge Jorrit, clasped his hands in a salute, and reported, ”Judge, Archbishop, the Holy Court has sent me to provide reinforcement and capture Dark City.”

”Is it just you? What about the other reinforcements? As far as I know, the Holy Realm should be sending more support.”

The Holy Paladin moved a little closer to Jorrit, lowered his voice, and continued in a whisper, ”Sir, thereʼs been an unexpected development. Just half an hour ago, the undead began to stir across various high-tier worlds, and large undead legions have appeared in multiple game worlds.”

”The Holy Realm received urgent reports from the different regions, with all the attacks suspected to be related to the death realm forces. Currently, the Holy Realmʼs Descent passage to the high-tier worlds has been opened to its maximum capacity.”

Judge Jorritʼs expression shifted.

So, other regions were also being attacked by undead forces?

”Have Bone Dragon creatures been appearing in these other worlds?”

”Yes, feedback indicates that other worlds have also been attacked by undead Bone Dragon knights. However, the necromancy mentors have not fully entered the battlefield yet.”

Judge Jorrit furrowed his brow even further.

Given these developments, launching a full-scale attack on Dark City could be very risky.

”Judge Jorrit, in my opinion, since this is where the undead first made their appearance, itʼs highly likely that the attack here is connected to the undeadʼs broader assault.”

Judge Jorrit had initially been leaning toward abandoning the assault on Dark City, but the new information shifted his thoughts.

If he still wanted to launch a strong assault on Dark City, it could result in significant risks.

”Judge Jorrit, in my opinion, since this is where the undead first appeared, itʼs highly likely that the undeadʼs attack is related to this place.”

Jorrit had originally considered giving up.

After all, with their current strength and the lack of further reinforcements, even if they forced their way into Dark City, it would come at a great cost.

However, the words of Archbishop Everett made him change his mind.

”Are you suggesting that the attacks on other regions are false signals released by the undead, deliberately misleading us into making the wrong judgment?”

”Yes, thatʼs highly possible.”

Jorrit once again shifted his gaze toward Dark City in the distance.

Indeed!

He shared the same feeling.

If the undead faction had sufficient strength, why would they scatter their forces?

It was likely that their strength was insufficient, so they spread their combat power thin, attempting to disrupt their movements.

The Holy Realm, considering the bigger picture, had to take remedial action across various worlds.

With that in mind...

Jorrit raised his scepter high.

”Warriors of the Holy Light, with me! Let us completely crush the darkness!”

”Yes!”

A powerful holy aura erupted from the Holy Realm knights as they surged forward, charging toward the city, the Holy Light condensing around them.

”Theyʼre coming!”

On the city wall, the playersʼ faces became extremely grim.

Two undead council instructors also raised their scepters in front of them.

”Block them!”

A barrage of undead skills rained down on the battlefield.

At the rear, the Holy Court judges began their countermeasures, and the two sides exchanged spells in a furious back-and-forth.

Bone Dragons appeared from above, launching continuous flanking attacks.

The battle raged for over ten minutes. Just as Judge Jorrit had predicted, the undead began to show signs of faltering.

The Bone Dragons took increasing damage, and when seriously wounded, they withdrew from the battlefield.

Of course, they paid a heavy price for this.

Numerous Holy Realm knights fell in the battle.

”Holy Flames!”

Several dark golden flames of holy power condensed together and violently struck the city wall.

”Boom!!!”

With a loud boom, the city wall finally couldnʼt withstand the impact and was blasted open, creating a massive hole!

D*mn!

The players on the city wall felt a jolt in their hearts.

Itʼs over!

Without the protection of the city wall, their strength would be significantly reduced.

Moreover, the Bone Dragon, though not dead, had absorbed a large amount of damage and entered a severely injured state. It could no longer rejoin the battlefield. And being in the Black Rain World, the Bone Dragonʼs HP regeneration speed remained extremely low.

”Retreat!”

Hearing the call from the two undead instructors, the players were stunned for a moment but immediately started to follow the undead instructorsʼ orders and began retreating.

In almost no time, the death realm War Knights and mausoleum guards, who had fought valiantly just moments ago, quickly withdrew, leaving behind a field of undead skeletal remains summoned as cover.

The playersʼ minds were still buzzing.

It was all so chaotic.

Just a moment ago, they were determined to hold their ground, and now theyʼre retreating just like that?

Forget it.

In this situation, the players didnʼt waste time thinking. Under the guidance of the undead instructors, they quickly retreated to the rear.

There was no time to think.

The more you think, the faster you die!

Outside, the Holy Court forces watched the fallen city wall and the death realm undead army retreating like a tidal wave, confusion filling their eyes.

Whatʼs going on?

Theyʼre retreating already?!

They clearly still had the strength to hold on for a while longer.

The undead faction is retreating just like that?

Something was wrong!
