Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 159.2

Soon, those carrying large metal tanks and wearing thick fireproof suits came forward with guns connected to the tanks by rubber hoses. Flames flickered in front of the guns. . . As they pulled the triggers, the gas inside the tanks spewed out, instantly radiating flames towards the front.

Hwarururuk!

The flamethrowers, created to deal with the chaotic barbarians operating in the north, played a major role in this battle as well.

The northern barbarians still preferred to charge with axes or swords rather than guns. Of course, this was possible because the chaotic evil gods they believed in blessed them so that they would not die easily even if they were hit by bullets.

Even with the flamethrowers mobilized to resist the zombie offensive. . . there were simply too many zombies. Eventually, they broke through the firepower of the flamethrowers and entered the trenches. . . The Yongwon Fortress border guard commander had no choice but to retreat the troops from the trench line.

“Damn it! They keep calling us a great power, but these things just keep coming!”

The situation had already changed, and a report had been submitted to the Huan Kingdom central government. However, it would take at least a week for reinforcements to arrive. It was difficult to guarantee whether they could hold out until then.

Fortunately, there were no residents inside the fortress because it was a border fortress. If there had been residents, the chaos would have reached its peak.

“Everyone retreat into the fortress! We will fight the ghouls relying on the walls!”

While the flamethrowers remained until the end to hold back the ghouls, the troops in the trench line retreated. After all the troops had finished retreating, machine gunners on the walls began to provide cover, and in the meantime, the flamethrowers were also able to retreat.

“Really. . . there’s no end in sight.”

Even as the evening glow set in, ghouls were still pouring out through Shanhai Pass. Fortunately, the ghouls were still only swarming towards the western wall area. . . but that too would soon reach its limit.

Mu County Expeditionary Force Command.

“Commander, we have received a request for support from the Huan Kingdom.”

At the staff officer’s words, Oswald looked at him with a face that said, “What are you talking about?”

“It is said that Shanhai Pass, the Great Wall of the Great Zhou Empire, has collapsed, and zombies are pouring out from Hebei Province.”

“The plague demons have finally begun to move.”

Plague zombies.

They were the troops commonly used by the plague demons. It was the easiest and fastest way to increase their forces, but. . . it also had the disadvantage of being weak. However. . .

‘𝘕𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦. . . 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦, 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦.’

Moreover, not all soldiers were sharpshooters. It was actually difficult to aim and hit a small head, especially one that was constantly moving. In the end, if they couldn’t kill one zombie per bullet, they would face a moment when there were more zombies than bullets.

“Hmm. . . For now, let’s not worry about that until the CID officially requests support. If we try to support them on our own and encounter something else in the middle, it will be a headache. . .”

The western part of the Great Zhou Empire was still fine. So, it would be better to clean up the west first and then move east.

And soon after, they heard the news that the Yuan Kingdom in the north had mobilized a mobile unit to support the Huan Kingdom.

The people of the Yuan Kingdom, who lived like nomads on the vast grasslands. . . their main forces were mobile units using vehicles, tanks, and horses. For the Huan Kingdom, which had moved most of its armored forces to the Main State, the support from the Yuan Kingdom was like rain during a drought.

Soon after, the Xinjiang Province Defense Force Defense Division expanded its troops and occupied Gansu Province. Gansu Province, where even the Gansu Province Defense Force had been swept away by the plague, had become chaotic.

The Xinjiang Province Defense Force, equipped with the blessings of God and holy water, first occupied each county to save the people still suffering from the plague, and then the pilgrims who followed provided initial treatment. For patients in urgent need, treatment using holy power was appropriate as a first aid measure.

Then, the medical battleships advanced, and the patients received intensive care from internists. Then, engineers and workers moved in and began building another hospital in Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province.

“Fortunately, Qinghai Province is mountainous.”

In terms of population, Qinghai Province was even smaller than Gansu Province and Xinjiang Province. Since half of it was the foothills of the Kunlun Mountains and the other half was desert. . . there were few places suitable for farming.

Moreover, thanks to the natural barrier of the Kunlun Mountains, the plague did not spread and the province remained intact. Of course, with a small population, the number of defense forces was also small, so it was difficult just to prevent the spread of the plague. . . but with the Xinjiang Province Defense Force entering Gansu Province this time, they were able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Anyway, when they occupied Gansu Province, they heard from refugees from Shaanxi Province that ghouls were coming west from Shanxi, Hubei, Henan, and other places.

“Is it time to step up now?”

The particular problem was that Luoyang, the capital of the Great Zhou Empire, was located in Henan. Fortunately, the emperor and other members of the imperial family had already moved to Chengdu in Sichuan Province, so there was no risk of the country collapsing. Of course, the emperor was also a dragonkin, so he wouldn’t easily succumb to the plague. . . so that was a relief.

Oswald immediately dispatched three motherships and nine battleships to Shanxi, Henan, Hubei, and other places, respectively. The plan was to have them airstrike the approaching zombies.
