Chapter 420: Shadow Ghosts

Chapter 420: Shadow Ghosts

The Eighth Order Ghost Clan's defeat led to the Ghost Clan losing their momentum for attack. The Ghost Clan's forces began to retreat, while the Human soldiers seized the opportunity to pursue, venting the frustration they had accumulated from the Flying Head Ghosts earlier. For them, this battle was a great victory.

Since the Ghost Clan had arrived near Rainless City, they had never experienced such a triumph. They had always been suppressed by the Ghost Clan and had engaged in multiple defensive battles. If it weren't for the Ghost Clan slowing down their assault, Rainless City might have fallen long ago.

Cheers filled the entire Rainless City, celebrating the hard-earned victory in their first major battle. Meanwhile, they also learned that among the reinforcements aiding them, there was actually a City Lord-level Expert.

Adding Xia Ji Chu, Rainless City now had two City Lord-level Experts, a luxury not every city could boast.

The whole city was engulfed in a joyful atmosphere. However, within the Lord's mansion, the Human Emperors were sitting together, discussing a matter.

"What? A large number of... zombies a hundred kilometers away?"

When Emperor Kong heard this, he looked utterly baffled. He had never imagined that there could be zombies on this planet that was stuff out of movies.

In reality, the Mutants on this planet were quite different from the zombies in movies, especially after gaining intelligence. They had essentially evolved into a whole new species.New novel chapters are published on

"To call them zombies is a bit inappropriate. More accurately, their appearance is closer to that of the Ghost Clan. For now, let's call them... Shadow Ghosts."

As he spoke, Spy placed a device on the table, projecting a translucent interface in the air. The display showed a scene a hundred kilometers away from them.

It was a village with a gathering of people or rather, Shadow Ghosts.

These Shadow Ghosts looked quite similar to Humans in appearance, except their bodies emitted a faint black mist. Some of them even had black horns emerging from their foreheads a characteristic exclusive to the Ghost Clan!

"Their appearance seems like they've lost consciousness," Eastern Emperor squinted.

"That's right. Based on our preliminary analysis, they seem to have been infected by something from the Ghost Clan, transforming them into this state. Their bodies are shifting toward becoming Ghost Clan-like, but even if they turn into complete Ghost Clan members, they won't have their own consciousness."

According to observations from the Red Alert forces, there were many villages resembling this one, filled with similar-looking people or rather, Shadow Ghosts. A rough calculation put their numbers close to 100,000!

Compared to a city, this wasn't a large number. However, it was important to remember that in a city, not many people possessed combat abilities.

Once these 100,000 Shadow Ghosts charged towards Rainless City, it would consume a significant portion of Rainless City's energy reserves. By the time the main Ghost Clan forces arrived, they might not have the means to resist.

In terms of sheer power, the main cannons of the warships could rival nuclear bombs.

Of course, since they were main cannons, they couldn't be used casually. Each shot would consume a substantial amount of the warship's energy. If fired continuously, the warship would be reduced to scrap metal.

"They're people from Yan Yun Star. It's not worth it for us to do that," Eastern Emperor differentiated clearly. They had come to this planet to conquer Yan Yun Star. In other words, they were invaders.

To help the invaded protect the invaders, what would that be?

"This is our base. According to the Ghost Clan's habits, they won't spare any Humans. That means our situation here is the same as the Yan Yun Star people's. Under these circumstances, helping them would also be helping ourselves," Emperor Yu explained.

The three Emperors turned their gazes to Emperor Kong. His opinion was crucial.

Emperor Kong hesitated. Frankly, he wasn't very willing to go all out to assist Rainless City against the Ghost Clan. He cared more about the lives of his own subordinates!

However, Emperor Yu's reasoning made sense. Regardless of where they went, they were bound to encounter the Ghost Clan. Would they keep changing locations every time?

No matter where they went, they were enemies with the Ghost Clan. They couldn't reverse the roles and help the Ghost Clan against the Humans. That was something they couldn't do.

"I've decided to help Rainless City!"

With a single sentence, Emperor Kong set the direction for the actions of the Earth's people.

Although they were helping Rainless City, the primary fighting force would still be the city's soldiers. They would merely provide some auxiliary support. The majority of the fighters relied on long-range attacks using weapons and wouldn't engage in melee combat with the Ghost Clan.

Spy remained silent. In truth, he didn't agree with this decision. However, before parting ways, Commander had said that all actions here were to be carried out according to Kong's orders, unless it was a suicidal command.

To deal with the Ghost Clan, in Spy's eyes, wasn't suicidal.

Soon, acting as Xia Ji Chu, Spy announced that the Ghost Clan was about to attack and that this time they were bringing a massive number of cannon fodders the Shadow Ghosts!

The news about the Shadow Ghosts spread quickly among the people of Rainless City. Their joy vanished, and the battle that lay ahead would determine the life or death of Rainless City! (To be continued)
