Chapter 669 Simple and Clear Commands
Chapter 669 Simple and Clear Commands
"Your Highness, the Free Forces are constantly depleting our forces and trying to prevent us from pursuing the Path of Redemption."
Behind the Imperial forces, on a huge war chariot equipped with an observation platform, Xuan Yuan looked at Ye Yang beside her and whispered her opinion.
"A bunch of homeless stray dogs dare to openly declare war on the Empire for the sake of a notorious criminal organization."
Upon hearing this, Ingram, standing behind Ye Yang, couldn't help but let out a contemptuous sneer: "Should we say they are utterly foolish, or brave and fearless?"
"Perhaps both."
Ye Yang gently stroked the hilt of the Alaya-vijnana sword at his waist, his gaze never leaving the smoke-filled battlefield ahead.
Her voice was very flat, almost devoid of any emotion, as if the fierce battle before her was nothing more than crushing a few annoying insects.
"But soon, these federal rebels will discover that so-called courage is no different from stupidity in the face of absolute power."
Xuan Yuan nodded thoughtfully, her gaze sweeping over the devastated battlefield that had become a living hell.
The rebel soldiers of the Free Army fell like moths to a flame before the steel torrent of low-level zombies and Imperial troops.
They remained steadfast and fearless at every point on the defensive line, using their flesh and blood to halt the empire's advance.
"Your Highness."
Xuan Yuan withdrew her gaze, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible seriousness: "Although the Free Forces are easily defeated, they are like a pack of mad dogs, relentlessly pursuing us. This move is clearly a delaying tactic."
“You’re right, Xuan Yuan. After all, our purpose here is to rescue Qing Luo from the Redemption Path, not to play house with a bunch of federal rebels in this ruined city.”
Ye Yang nodded slightly, his gaze still indifferent as he looked ahead, as if assessing how to remove an obstructive object.
"Your Highness, how about I handle this?"
Ingram put on his helmet, then knelt on one knee and volunteered to Night's Eye: "The Dark All-Stars are ready and can join the battle at any time."
"can."
Ye Yang's blood-red eyes remained calm, as if he had granted permission for something insignificant: "Make this quick. In ten minutes, I want to see the entire battalion cross that steel canyon."
"As ordered, Your Highness."
Ingram's deep, excited voice came from under his helmet. He stood up, channeled his zombie energy into his legs, and leaped from the viewing platform, landing smoothly.
Ingram brandished a sharp spiritual blade and whistled loudly, instantly summoning fifty dark figures behind him.
The Dark All-Star Zombies drew their molecular knives and looked at the Black Reaper who had raised them.
"kill!"
Simple, clear, without any unnecessary words, Ingram casually issued a single-word command.
The Dark All-Star Zombies channeled their zombie energy, imbuing their legs and longswords with power, and together with their imperial commander, they fearlessly charged into the battlefield.
"Hey, big guy, send five giants up there and crush the Free Army's defensive line."
Xuan Yuan turned her head and gave instructions to Gargantuar, who was standing next to the chariot.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Gargantuar, carrying a telephone pole, took a giant step, followed closely by five giant zombies carrying electric generators, and stepped into the scorching battlefield.
The Free Armed Forces' defenses truly collapsed completely after the two Imperial commanders took the stage.
A machine-gunner, Plant Spirit, was hiding behind cover when he suddenly saw a swift black shadow flash by as he prepared to reload.
Before he could react, his head fell silently to the ground.
The blade was smooth, and the swinging motion was swift and decisive. The headless body of the machine gun pea shooter, Plant Spirit, crashed to the ground, never seeing the enemy's shadow before it died.
"Roar!"
A heavy roar came from afar, and five giant zombies, under Gargantuar's command, approached the Free Army's position with earth-shaking steps.
The electric generators in their hands flashed with blue arcs of electricity, and with each swing, they could bring down a large number of rebel soldiers who came forward to block them.
One of the giant zombies even lifted an abandoned bus with both hands and slammed it into the sturdy defensive line.
The blow was powerful and heavy, smashing a large hole in the defensive line.
That sturdy defensive line, made of vehicle wreckage, concrete blocks, and abandoned containers, was as fragile as a child's building blocks under the giant zombie's battering ram-like blow.
The breach was forcibly torn open by the Empire's offensive, menacing and deadly.
"Quickly! Mobilize all available personnel to seal the breach!"
A Freedom Army officer screamed, his voice sharp and distorted by extreme tension and despair.
He brandished his automatic assault rifle and unleashed a burst of bullets at the giant zombie causing the destruction.
But when the bullet hit the other person, it only sparked a string of sparks before bouncing away powerlessly.
The giant zombie, whose skin hadn't even been pierced, was completely unaware; its pale eyes held only the purest desire for destruction.
With a casual wave of its massive electric generator, it sent a rebel soldier who couldn't dodge in time flying far away.
"Don't retreat, hold your ground!"
Another officer from the Freedom Army, wielding a broadsword, tried to quell the growing morale of his troops.
His voice sounded incredibly tragic at that moment, but the only response to the officer was a sharp, black blade.
"Sacrificing so many pointless lives for a bunch of damned human traffickers, is this what you call 'Freedom Armed Forces'?"
Ingram appeared before him, gracefully shaking the blood off his blade.
"You don't understand...you all don't understand at all..."
The officer gritted his teeth, clutching his bleeding neck, his eyes filled with panic and fear.
"I don't need to understand."
Ingram stepped forward and, with a casual wave of his hand, ended the officer's life: "As Your Highness the Commander-in-Chief commands, remove all obstacles in the path of the Empire."
"Your Highness?"
Lying on the ground, the dying officer struggled to raise his head, his gaze passing over Ingram and landing on the massive tank in the distance.
On the towering viewing platform, Ye Yang still stood quietly. The horrific scene of corpses strewn across the battlefield before her was nothing more than a speck of dust in her eyes.
"Wow, not bad, you've advanced to that defensive line in just five minutes."
Xuan Yuan crossed her arms, tapping her elbows lightly with her fingertips, her tone tinged with a playful appreciation: "Not bad efficiency. It seems the two imperial commanders have indeed not disappointed us."
"Tell Dark Iron and Snow to speed up the entire army and ignore the remnants of the Free Army."
Ye Yang suddenly spoke, his tone cold yet carrying an unquestionable authority.
She drew her Alaya-vijnana from her waist and pointed it forward: "Kill all who stand in the way."
"clear."
Xuan Yuan accepted the order, and her figure faded away like ink, disappearing from the spot.
But at that moment, Ye Yang's pupils suddenly contracted.
She saw it: an enormous cannonball suddenly appeared above the block.
