1977 Break through

D*mn it!

It was spatial ability!

He should have thought of it earlier!

It was very likely that those zombies had used this method to break through the city wall!

Fortunately, the number of zombie creatures that were teleported here through space wasn’t many and was still within the controllable range!

He couldn’t let the zombie creatures continue to increase!

Roman drew out the knight’s long sword, which was instantly enchanted with a layer of holy light, and slashed at a zombie creature on the right in front of him.

“Whoosh!”

Before the long sword struck the zombie, Roman felt his heart skip a beat, as if he had been struck by an invisible force.

Immediately after, an indescribable burning sensation surged out from the depths of his body and quickly spread throughout his entire body. He felt as if the blood in his body had been ignited in an instant, and it flowed uncontrollably!

His blood even felt like it was boiling.

Roman’s slashing motion suddenly stopped.

“Whoosh!”

A zombie clone swung its claw at Roman, leaving a wound on his body.

“Boss!”

A trusted aide beside him saw that something was wrong and quickly kicked the zombie away. He protected Roman behind him and shouted, “President! Are you alright?”

Roman’s forehead was covered in cold sweat as he looked down at the city wall where the zombies were gathered.

He saw a young man wearing a devil mask standing in a corner at the bottom of the stairs.

That person…

It was him!

Roman was certain that that person had cast some kind of special spell on him.

The terrifying thing was that this special attack that could make one’s blood boil was very special. There was not even a hint in the game!

He could only watch helplessly as his HP slowly decreased!

The burning sensation in Roman’s body did not subside at all but instead, it intensified. He pointed at Fang Heng from afar and shouted, “That person!”

The players looked at Fang Heng, who was among the zombies.

It was him!

The player wearing a devil mask!

He was just outside the city wall a moment ago. How did he appear here in the blink of an eye?

They knew that there was something wrong with Fang Heng but what should they do?

There were too many zombie creatures between them!

Furthermore, the opponent was deliberately positioned. He only needed to take a step to the right to hide behind the rock wall in the corner and easily avoid all the long-range attacks!

“Puff!”

Blood gushed out from the tip of Roman’s nose, flowing down his lips and chin.

“President!”

“Don’t worry about me!”

Roman said as he took a few steps back.

Once he avoided Fang Heng’s gaze, the boiling sensation in his blood instantly lessened. Roman hurriedly took out a bottle of medicine and poured it into his mouth.

He was the only one who had lost his combat ability but it was not time to give up!

He had to hold on for a few more minutes and reinforcements would arrive soon!

Zelai City must not be breached!

Relying on the guild’s position in Zelai City, Yuantu Gaming Company monopolized most of the city’s commissions and could obtain a large amount of faction contribution points every day.

On the other hand, if the city was breached and the mission failed…

The huge amount of penalty might even cause their entire gaming company to collapse!

A layer of cold sweat trickled down Roman’s forehead, slowly sliding down his cheeks.

He didn’t even dare to think about it!

Not far away, Fang Heng was still using his perception to lock onto Roman’s position. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the thick wall in front of him and focus on Roman.

The Boiling Blood skill could still lock onto the target and continue to be used. However, once Roman left his sight, the effect would be greatly reduced.

But it didn’t matter.

Fang Heng glanced at the battlefield.

Roman could probably still rely on his potion to withstand the effects of Boiling Blood, but the Empire’s guards and the small team of players could not hold on much longer.

Everyone held onto their last glimmer of hope.

Hold fast!

Hold on for another ten minutes!

The backup from the outer circle of the Holy Court would arrive soon!

In times of crisis, the gamers used all the potions that they had been reluctant to use in the past, hoping to stall for time.

After another five minutes of fighting against the zombie crowd, tiny black dots could be seen on the city wall.

It was the support team!

In the distance, the first batch of knight reinforcements had arrived!

At this moment, a player hurriedly ran down from the top of the city wall. He was about to report something to Roman when he saw the latter’s face and froze.

Roman’s face looked extremely terrifying. Veins popped out on his face, and blood flowed down his face. His hands were trembling non-stop.

“Pre…President…”

“What’s the matter?” Roman asked sternly.

“President, we can’t do it anymore. Let’s retreat…”

What?

Couldn’t do it anymore?

Roman stared at the player.

Why couldn’t they continue anymore?!

“What happened?”

Seeing Roman’s murderous gaze, the player shrank his neck and quickly explained, “It’s the Lickers. The Lickers have already broken through the outer city wall.”

“What?!”

There were guards on the city walls and they also had magic crystal cannons. Why couldn’t they defend against the enemy?

Roman suddenly thought of something and turned to look at the other side of the city wall.

It was only now that he realized that the magicite cannons on the other side of the city wall had lost their effectiveness against the horde of zombies.

As the magic crystal cannons were ineffective, and a large portion of the guards on the city wall had to deal with the zombies in the city, Zelai City instantly lost the means to deal with the Lickers outside.

The Lickers broke through the defensive net outside the city at an astonishing speed. When they got close to the city wall, they jumped up and quickly ascended up the city wall, directly breaking through the defense on the top of the city wall!

Oh no…

The City Lord of Zelai City was commanding from above the city wall!

Could it be…

Could it be that the City Lord…

Roman raised his head and looked through the chaotic battlefield to the top of the city wall. An indescribable sense of unease rapidly spread in his heart. Immediately after, game notifications appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The City Lord of Zelai City, Viatrice Guerra, has been killed by the undead faction. Due to the player’s current mission-

Guardian of Zelai City, the player’s party has been deducted 8,000,000 Holy Court contribution points. The player has been deducted 1,000,000 Holy Court reputation points.]

The game notification appeared in the vision of every long-

distance game guild player on the battlefield.

The morale of the gamers instantly fell to rock bottom!

It was over, it was all over.

The city wall had been breached, and even the City Lord had been killed…

Roman’s eyes gradually became empty, and the last glimmer of expectation in his heart was shattered like a bubble.

“President! Let’s go! Let’s give up on this!!”

The player pulled Roman, wanting to get his attention, “President! There is no time! The Lickers will come down soon. When that time comes, we will be completely wiped out!”

“Pfft!!”

Under the fierce fire that attacked his heart, coupled with the negative effect of Boiling Blood, Roman spat out another mouthful of blood.

“Let’s go!”

Roman realized that the current situation had reached a point where he had no choice but to ‘cut off his arm to survive’ and signal for the team to retreat.
