The cultivators participating in the raid were in shock. Not just the ones on the scene but those who were both watching and streaming were in awe by the current development.

Zombies were emerging out of the Pillar Base Camp’s grounds and if not for the Pandawans’ pleas to not touch anything else, the Pandarens would instinctively do two things. Either run or fight the zombies before they fully emerge from the ground.

But now that they were asked to stay still, they could see how creepy the zombies were from the viewer’s perspective. As the zombies crawled out from the ground, their howling made it as if they had been craving for something, urging them to fulfil it as soon as possible.

There was no mistake, the humans were delicious to look at, and even had a scent that made the zombies drool a lot. But the commands of the Half Ghoul Lord were absolute.

To feast on the Demon Rats instead.

So their heads turned from the humans that were standing so defenceless from the shock of their appearance and headed towards the walls. Similar to the cultivators, they all began to start jumping as if they had some imbued chi inside of them. Some of the Pandarens noticed that their leader also did the same thing previously and wondered if they were zombie cultivators.

The truth was that they were not entirely wrong because all the zombies had been imbued with both utility and offensive inscriptions, causing them to burst with chi. The same goes with Derek who equipped a number of high grade inscriptions that allowed him to make others feel like he was a super cultivator.

While the Half Ghoul Lord had treated his zombies kindly and even gave them adequate food and care, he did not hesitate to use them like weapons. Because of the degradation of their intelligence, it was best that they could do something more than just biting their enemies to death.

So through rote learning, the zombies finally learnt how to swing a sword properly and with the aid of inscription charms, they were able to do more than just slashing the enemy with their brute strength. They could unleash the powers within those inscriptions (though rather haphazardly) and bring carnage to their enemies (Also to some extent, friendly fire. Derek remembered at the start of their training, some zombies almost wiped out the entire zombie group because they could not control the swing when empowered by their inscriptions.)

The Demon Rats were rather shocked that humans were jumping out of their shelter and into the killing fields of their ranged attacks. They could not be any more happier as each of them attempted to fill every piece of filth that was foolish enough to be shot at.

However, they soon realise that those humans were not hindered by the attacks except for those who were shot in the head. It was then they found out that those were not entirely humans but monsterified humans which they had never seen before.

Some of them were even lit up in different shades of hues as they rushed recklessly towards the Demon Rats. Not to mention, more of those ‘humans’ started to jump off the walls of Pillar Base Camp and even the Demon Rat leaders started to call for strikes on the battlefield rather than focusing on the magic barrier of the base camp.

The Pandarens who were at the scene peeked over the walls to see what was happening and saw the carnage that was about to unfold. The zombies might look like they were losing since those who stepped into the battlefield were killed. However, the Pandarens noticed that with each zombie dead, the body that dropped dead was actually closer to the Demon Rats who were shooting at them from their designated point.

That means the Demon Rats were having difficulty pushing them back and there is a chance that the Zombies could stop the shooting towards the Pillar Base Camp. “Heh. No wonder Master Jin wants me to go in first. My zombies might not be the most offensive of troops but they sure can take a lot of hits from all those shooting.” Derek thought to himself as he monitored the battlefield. At the same time, he pulled out a magical staff and started to chant.

Unlike Peppers who loved to cast offensive magic, Derek was more of a support caster and with good reason. Why learn an offensive magic that could only kill one or two Demon Rats considering the mana that he has when he could learn the same level of area support magic and sustain his zombies? By doing that, his zombies were his sword and shield that annihilates everything in his path.

Just giving them a minor regeneration boost had already allowed them to reach the Demon Rats in record time. Something even the Pandarens had difficulty doing despite all the fancy gadgets that they bought from Jin. (Which of course, Jin secretly thanked them for spending all that money as well. They probably got scammed in some way or another and only the System and its User knows it.)

,m And with Derek’s zombie having first ‘physical’ contact with the Demon Rats, the Pandawans took this opportunity to send out another WARE event now they saw how much the monsters were giving the progress they solely needed. (It goes to show how low level most of the cultivators were that they were also regarded as fodders with the exception of Pandawans and a few richer Pandarens who could circumvent the situation using gear.)

Regardless, with progress on their side, they are finally able to get out of that base camp and start to move forward and earn some raid points. Jin was delighted that things started to move as he was itching to send all his forces down if not for the allure of money pouring into his coffers. (Which was contradictory since sending his troops down costs money rather than earning money.)

But since the Pandarens had started to branch out to fight, the System and Jin had started to listen into the Demon Rats’ plans with the listening bugs that Hou Fei had planted.
