Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2663 Coercion

Chapter 2663  Coercion

"Buzz...!!"

The shield barrier surrounding the city was struck by the corrupted dragon's breath, causing a sudden surge of light and even triggering intense ripples.

Under the influence of the corrupted dragon's breath, the barrier around the city trembled violently.

The high-tier undead corrosion effect also had additional destructive power against the holy barrier!

After one round of attacks, the city's holy defenses were on the verge of collapse.

The terrifying Bone Dragons!

The lingering corrupted dragon's breath continued to inflict additional damage on the holy defensive barrier.

Through the holy defensive barrier, the Archbishop's eyes revealed a hint of fear.

"Organize the personnel, and evacuate through the teleportation passage."

"Evacuate?! But..."

The guard instinctively wanted to refuse, but the words caught in their throat and were swallowed back.

The Archbishop raised his head, gazing at the Bone Dragon swarm hovering in the sky.

With the city's defense capabilities, it was impossible to withstand the attack of seven Bone Dragons and the massive swarm of Lickers.

"Officer, I understand your feelings, but this is not the time for our personal disputes. Only by preserving our strength to the greatest extent possible can we hope to defeat the evil undead."

"Prepare the teleportation passage!"

The chief guard's expression turned solemn as he spoke in a low voice, "Yes! Understood!"

...

An hour later, Yan Yuexin returned to the Seal Fortress with the escort team.

Since she had teamed up with Fang Heng earlier, and with Fang Heng completing his mission, she had also gained some favorability by staying with the group.

Now, she could receive missions from the Quartermaster and join the Holy Court NPC team to enter the sealed area to complete missions.

She even checked the mission panel and was pleasantly surprised to find that the rewards were quite generous!

The sealed area, as a high-tier War Ruins World, was a secret domain with a relatively high level.

Normally, players would need to spend a lot of time completing prerequisite missions before being allowed to access this area.

But to her surprise, by tagging along with Fang Heng, she had managed to get in.

Yan Yuexin was considering accepting some related missions in the sealed area and joining Leonidas' team to tag along.

Suddenly, Leonidas, the commander, walked back with a serious expression.

"Sorry, Yan Yuexin. We've encountered a special situation. We just received orders from the Fortress Lord and need to immediately head to the central region for reinforcement. I'm afraid we won't be able to complete the mission with you."

Huh?

Yan Yuexin froze for a moment, and then a game hint appeared on her retina.

[Hint: The player has triggered a special faction mission-Undead Invasion.]

What the heck?

Yan Yuexin's heart skipped a beat. She quickly opened the game log to check the mission details.

Well, this was unexpected.

In just a short moment, the undead faction had launched a large-scale invasion of the Place of Ruins in the game world?

A city of the Holy Court had already been defeated in battle, and the remaining Holy Court cities were at risk of being completely destroyed by the undead.

Yan Yuexin looked up, her expression tense, and asked, "How could this happen? The Holy Court cities have strong defenses. Does the undead faction really have such power? Is it already at a level where we can't resist?"

"From the intelligence we've received, the undead faction has sent powerful Bone Dragon creatures, which are not to be underestimated," Leonidas replied.

"After destroying the city, the undead are now advancing towards other cities. Based on their movement, it seems they're heading directly for the Archbishop's headquarters in the Holy Court."

Leonidas nodded, "We believe the undead's ultimate target is the central teleportation point of our world. If that point is destroyed, we will be completely cut off from the Holy Realm and all other worlds."

"The Archbishop has already requested reinforcements from the Holy Realm, but it will take at least ten more hours for their team to arrive." Leonidas continued, "Meanwhile, the Archbishop has drawn forces from all regions, gathering all Holy Court strength to resist the undead's assault."

Yan Yuexin thought to herself, "Well, well."

The undead had always been quiet and low-key before, but now they were making such a big move, huh?

Bone Dragons!

Seven of them!

She hadn't expected the undead's counterattack to be so fierce.

Indeed, the Holy Court's overall strength in the War Ruins World was not very strong. If seven Bone Dragons launched a surprise attack, it could really lead to disaster, and the entire game world could be at risk of annihilation.

"We're about to head to the Holy Court headquarters to join the defense. Would you like to join us?" Leonidas asked.

Join?

Would she really go against that terrifying player from before?

It was a joke.

Naturally, Yan Yuexin didn't want to.

Moreover, the mission she had received from the undead faction was to ensure Fang Bai's safe return.

But wait!

As she thought about it, she suddenly realized something.

Wasn't Fang Bai still here?

This operation was clearly led by Fang Bai.

Yet, there was no movement from Fang Bai's side, while on the other side, the undead faction was making a loud and chaotic uproar.

Could it be...

Yan Yuexin's sharp mind suddenly caught on to something.

Could it be that the Bone Dragons were just a distraction set up by the undead faction?

The undead faction probably wanted to divert the Holy Court's attention entirely.

The real action was being carried out by Fang Bai!

So what exactly was Fang Bai planning to do?

Yan Yuexin turned her gaze toward the direction of the sealed land, and for a moment, she fell silent.

The commander, seeing Yan Yuexin still hadn't answered and not knowing what she was thinking, waved his hand and quickly led his subordinates to retreat.

Recalling the questions Fang Heng had raised earlier, and the various events that had occurred, Yan Yuexin suddenly thought of an answer.

That's right!

The seal of the sealed area!

He wanted to break the central seal and release the monsters that the Holy Court had sealed!

That guy...

He really had guts.

Was he not afraid of being devoured by the monsters himself?

...

Deep within the sealed land, in a vast domain, a magical array spiraled across the ground.

Fang Heng's figure emerged from the holy ripple, his presence materializing.

Earlier, he had been remotely controlling a group of Lickers, coordinating with Shi Lipeng to deal with the Holy Court. Now, with the Licker group moving toward the Holy Court's main city, he could temporarily leave them under control.

He had also just logged off and contacted Ji Xiaobo. From the intelligence leaked by the Holy Court, it was clear that the Holy Court had fallen into a trap.

The Holy Court had mistakenly believed that the Bone Dragons and Lickers were the main forces of the undead faction. Seeing the overwhelming advance of the Undead forces toward the Holy Court's main base, they immediately gathered troops from various regions to defend.

Everything was proceeding according to plan.

Fang Heng slowly lifted his head and shifted his gaze toward the central forbidden zone not far away.

His goal now was to find a way to obtain the item sealing the creatures.

With determination, Fang Heng began walking toward the entrance.

A few Holy Court guards outside the door recognized him. Seeing him return, they stepped forward to stop him.

"High Priest Ron is not receiving visitors at the moment."

"Please tell High Priest Ron that I have something very important to discuss, something related to the seal."

The guards exchanged a few words quietly before one hurried back inside the Great Hall to relay the message.

After a short while, the guard returned, jogging toward Fang Heng, "The High Priest has asked me to escort you inside. Please follow me."

"Thank you."
