Right now the shields covered an area spanning for tens of miles, slightly over fifty. And under the coordinated work of my warriors, most of this region was dug and the surface got dented down by almost a few metres.
It looked like some giant god punched this zone and left a deep mark here. And that mark was growing deeper with each passing hour.
After half a day, and with the constant work of my warriors, I finally saw the seemingly bottomless pit getting filled and the bottom rose up and could be seen.
Yet there was still close to three hundred metres distance left. I knew it would need almost three hours to get it filled.
"It's time to plan the counter attack…" I turned around and checked the current situation outside.
After all these hours, almost half of the shields were covered with the crazy zombies. If I estimated that millions were already here, then right now the number might even be in hundreds of millions.
That was crazy! But luckily my actions drove that zombie crazy enough to let it summon most of the zombies in the entire basin, if not all.
"I've been provoked enough already… Pressing harder won't bring any good results…" I looked around and decided to call this a day of filling the hole.
If the grand zombie saw there was no hope in regaining the hole after filling it all up, then it might ditch the idea of taking this zone and retreat.
It was enraged now, but turning it into desperation wasn't going to help.
I needed it to keep throwing as many zombies as it could at my path. Like this, dealing with such a headache wasn't going to be hard.
"Attack! Kill any zombie outside without leaving the shield!" as I decided, I started flying around and giving new orders to my warriors.
And I swore I heard many sighs coming from down below. It seemed these warriors didn't feel good working as labour men.
Returning back to the brutal fights was indeed relieving to them. In the next few minutes, not a single one stayed behind to dig anymore and all crumbled all over the edge of the shields and started attacking the zombies outside.
The zombies were in great numbers, but they were separated from my warriors by thick layers of shields.
No matter how they tried, nothing could penetrate through the shields. That made my warriors fight to their heart's content without fearing for their lives.
Yet after circling around the grand battlefield for hours, I realised clearing this place would take much longer than what I initially expected.
The zombies killed looked like a drop in the middle of a grand sea. The zombies kept coming nonstop from outside, looking like there was an endless stream of reinforcements coming this way.
"Tsk… Even after half a day their number is still growing and not decreasing…" I finally gave up waiting for this place to be cleared.
Looking at the grand zombie hitting the shields with its might, I shook my head in helplessness. That dude was indeed lucky to live longer and not die on my hands at this moment.
I made sure to lay lots of shield layers here before finally taking out my staff and teleporting away.
Staying here was pointless. No matter what, my warriors were well protected and I got nothing to do. Unlike here, there were still lots of places needing my attention.
One of them were the basins, and another was the site of the grand battle near my necromancer world.
During the time I waited there, I kept in touch with everyone. Luckily for me the kingdom's main land was well protected and we didn't lose much.
No one spotted any grand zombie yet. And the places invaded by zombies were now stabilised to some extent.
The large number of forces trained and gathered for years proved to be useful at this point. No matter how we lost, there was still more to come.
The forces scattered all over the mainland of my kingdom were doing great. But at some places there were lots of trouble as well.
Any place that had a grand fight before showed an abnormal number of zombies. One of which was the capital. Another was the place where I got cornered with many races' armies before, the war that ended by trapping my top generals and friends inside an illusion before.
However not a single spot showed a grand zombie. Without the presence of such freaks, the fights out there were all under my control one way or another.
However bad news started to come from the southern continents that I recently acquired.
The three continents that I gained alongside the Texas region next to them were having great trouble in the past hours.
According to the news sent from Lily, a few generals led by Legend were situated there. However they were facing tons of zombies.
I didn't know exactly how bad the situation there was. However, from Lily's last words, I knew it was grave.
That made me hasten my plans here. Staying here and waiting for my warriors to get rid off that grand zombie wasn't going to work.
Lots of things were on stake here. I still didn't have time to enjoy these three continents yet. And here I was close to losing them.
I already was struggling to reclaim the Hector continent. Losing another one wasn't going to work. And there were three as well.
[Tell me something nice] as the south was the region ruled by Selvators, it was better to directly ask Fang for what was going on there.
[It's bad! We are this close from losing control over the three continents down there!]
I frowned. Was it because a huge war just erupted between many races recently? [Are you short of manpower? If so I can find a solution to this]
If it was a problem with the size of armies, then I could easily help. The Selvators didn't have the amazing second Earth world like me. So it was acceptable if they felt pressured by the overwhelming number of zombies.
However what he said next made the hair all over my body stand to no end.
[It's not that! Do you remember when my paragons acted against you? That grand beast that we called here to deal with you and got killed at the end?]
[Don't tell me it turned into a zombie!] Just saying these words made my heart palpitate out of fear.
That beast was indeed bad news. It turned into a pet of mine, but it was indeed something scary.
I knew better than anyone the frightening abilities of my little turtle. If a zombie was born from its colossal body, and inherited its ability, then the situation down there was indeed more desperate than the Hector continent.
Forget about the three continents, even trying to keep hold over a large piece of my kingdom in the south was going to be fantasy.
Sh*t! Just realising this made me wonder if also the colossal dark realm beast I killed at the early stages of the apocalypse was also going to turn into a zombie.
That battle was near New Jersey. I hurriedly sent a word for Lily to check out and waited for her news.
She seemed to be not aware of what was going on there. Even Isac was the same.
I couldn't blame them. After all, my kingdom spanned for tens of thousands of miles right now and there was no way to keep track of every single fight.
I didn't wait for their responses. I already felt bad about this.
The grand zombie in the south wasn't a big problem for now. The distance it had to cross was already enough to buy myself lots of time.
But that one over New Jersey was already close up from my capital. It was an impending threat just like the grand zombies at Hector continent.
Dammit! I clenched my fists and passed through the portal, hurriedly going back to the first basin with cold eyes and murderous intentions.
I couldn't play safe at this moment. All the grand zombies here had to be killed. In the worst case, I would leave the last one battering against my shields for later.
*Boom!*
Just when I arrived at the first basin, a bolt of red beam descended and assaulted me almost instantly. I raised my head and wasn't surprised by such a move.
I knew I was closely watched by the angels and they'd be aware of my intentions even if I didn't openly say anything.
Before coming here I made sure to fill the stove heart of my chariot with tons of crystals and gems. The energy stored inside my chariot now was enough to last it for years!
This exhausted almost one half of my energy reserves in my inventory. But it was worth it. As the red beam descended and I knew there was nothing it could do against my chariot's shield, I instantly moved directly towards the grand zombie in the close vicinity.
