Armipotent
chapter-383

Back to the village, the situation was under control but the tense atmosphere lingered around. The Territory War Game was the cause. The Tarriors and the Militias were concerned with the war ahead of them.

Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang got into the house with the others. He was sitting on the wooden chair and reading through the Territory War Game display.

His eyes were looking at the participants. There were five factions. The Empire, Daian Kingdom, Dacian Kingdom, and Bombyx Mori Tribe. The four factions were mentioned by Heron, but there was still an unknown one, Lionax Kingdom.

Tang Shaoyang glanced at Heron, "Do you know something about the Lionax Kingdom?"

"Lionax Kingdom?" Heron repeated the foreign name. There was no need for him to reply to Tang Shaoyang as Tang Shaoyang immediately knew the zombie did not know the Lionax Kingdom.

"I don't know. I never heard it before," Heron shook his head.

"Hmmmn, is it the survivors?" It was possible that the survivors in the Zhejiang Territory gathered and formed a faction.

"That's possible. It may be the survivors that created the faction," Zhang Mengyao also thought so. The fifth participant should be the faction made of the survivors in the city.

"Let's figure it out later. It says we have to conquer eight cities, is Jiaxing one of them? How many cities in Zhejiang Province?" Tang Shaoyang did not know about this.

Zhang Mengyao rubbed her chin, "Hangzhou, Ningbo, Jinhua, Taizhou, Wenzhou…" She stopped midway after mentioning five cities, "Those five are the major cities in Zhejiang, maybe Jiaxing is one of them…" She then looked toward Wei Xi.

Wei Xi shrugged, "Don't ask me, I only know about Jinhua and Hangzhou. But we indeed need to figure out the eight official cities. We can try to go to Jiaxing first since it's the closest to our location."

Tang Shaoyang then glanced at Heron, "What about Jiaxing? How many zombies are there? Who's the leader of that city?"

"There's a horde of twenty thousand zombies and Doron is in command of that horde," Heron knew a lot more information than he thought. Letting Yu Shun subordinate this zombie was the best decision.

"Twenty thousand, we will have a big harvest huh," Tang Shaoyang grinned ear to ear, "What about this Doron? How strong is he?"

"Doron should be weaker than me, but he is still a good fighter."

'So it should be the stage-7 zombie lord,' Tang Shaoyang guessed the zombie called Doron was a stage-7 zombie, about the same as Heron.

The Zombie Lord's ability was to command the other zombies. However, the zombie lord was weaker in combat. The zombie called King Biron might be the exception.

'It's unfortunate the zombie could not see the status,' Tang Shaoyang felt that was a pity. He had tried to ask Heron about the status, class, and level. The zombie did not know anything about this.

The hierarchy formed naturally between the zombies. The Zombie Lord controlled the mindless zombie. Then the Zombie Lord would appoint the strong zombie for a certain task and position.

That meant the Zombie Lord could see this status window. Only the Zombie Lord.

"Get our men ready, we will depart to Jiaxing in twenty minutes!" He sent his order to Zhang Mengyao and Wei Xi before looking toward Yu Shun, "Alright, you can bring Heron with you. I know you want to do some experiments with your new collection," he waved his hand at the excited young man.

Yu Shun had been grinning in excitement for a while. He could tell that from the young man's eyes. So he let Yu Shun have fun with Heron.

Soon everyone left the house, leaving him alone in the house. No one questioned his decision to fight twenty thousand zombies with their only a little over thousand armies.

It was natural for them since twenty thousand was not a lot compared to their first two zombie hordes.

"Where is Wen? Hasn't he come back yet?" He commanded the Jade Eagle to scout the surroundings, but it took him longer than he expected.

Tang Shaoyang opened the Communication System, he was about to contact Wen. But then a message came in. The message was from Pride.

[My Lord, we have made contact with one of the Bombyx Mori Tribe. They have agreed to be our vassal. However, it will take some time for me and Kairu to regroup with the main force. The other four Bombyx Mori Tribes are obstructing us to meet you. But don't worry, two of us should be enough to face these moths. I will update our situation regularly.]

He read the message and his eyes shone brightly. This was the ideal situation for them. The Daian Kingdom and The Dacian Kingdom were about to clash. He would let them fight each other first before he swept them all together after being weakened from the clash.

During this time, he could defeat the Bombyx Mori Tribe. Eliminating one of the participants while searching for the Lionax Kingdom.

[Good Job. Where are you now? We will march to your area instead! We will meet you two there.]

He was praising Pride at first. A good subordinate needed to be praised before asking their location. It took a while for Pride to reply to his message. It took a few minutes before he received the reply.

[I don't know where we are right now. However, I remember taking a detour from a city. That city should be Jiaxing City, we are far to the North of that Jiaxing City.]

This was a tricky situation, Zhejiang Territory was too large to search for those two. Without an exact location, it would take a long time to find them. If this was SH City, he had a map. He could access the map everywhere and found Pride's location easily.

As he was thinking about the right solution, Wen returned. Wen came in and greeted him while bowing his head.

"Did you find anything?" He asked Wen.

"I found a few villages with zombies, but their number is not that much. They should not be a threat to us, but Jiaxing City has a lot of zombies. I also discovered that the city has a defense tower similar to ours," Wen reported his discoveries.

"Do they have a city wall as well?" Tang Shaoyang was surprised to hear the report. He was not expecting to hear this kind of information. He thought they were just an organized zombie, but they were more than that. They had access to the system as well.

"Yes, the city is protected with a ten meters tall black steel wall. It's similar to our inner wall," Wen nodded his head.

"On top of that, I have discovered a peculiar tower in the center of the city," The Jade Eagle continued with his report, "It's peculiar because the tower is made of flesh and the flesh tower seems to be alive. I can hear a faint heartbeat from the air."

This was without a doubt a big discovery. A flesh tower was something they had not encountered before.

"Do you know what this flesh tower does?" Tang Shaoyang felt this flesh tower was something important to the zombie.

"I don't know, but I have a guess," Wen voiced his thoughts, "I was hovering for a while on top of this flesh tower. I saw zombies keep coming out from the flesh tower. My guess is this flesh tower used to create more zombies. They are producing a zombie army through the flesh tower!"

Tang Shaoyang fell silent. This news shocked him. If what Wen said to him was right, that meant the zombie could multiply their numbers even though people were not around.

'No, no, no. They should not be able to multiply their numbers endlessly. There must be a condition to produce zombies, a resource to run the flesh tower,' Tang Shaoyang tapped the armrest with his index finger.

This time, he felt an urge to vanquish all the zombies in the world. He never felt this urge before because he thought the number of zombies should be limited since they could only increase their number by infecting the other creatures.

—Nature, Mana, that's the resource needed to run the flesh tower. You have to destroy the flesh tower because they will destroy your world, making the Earth uninhabitable for humans and other creatures except for the undead!
