Chapter 1634 Chapter 1634. The Moving Hill

“Damn it! The Themisphere army arrived even faster than I expected,” Linda cursed.

The number was slightly lower than she expected. Their intel informed her that the Themisphere should have 1,500,000 troops marching from Themisphere. This was only considering the native force. With the addition of players, the number should be much higher than that. She wondered if they ditched the slow-moving troops and rushed here with the faster units to arrive earlier.

“Ma’am… I think you should see that,” The officer said again, pointing at the new incoming force.

“What?” Linda asked. She had turned her attention back to her projection. Their total number with the zombie army still outnumbered the enemy even with the addition of this new force, but she preferred to have taken out the throne and Aldryth before that happened.

Hydruronth’s throne was of not much use to them anymore, but taking it and eliminating Aldryth would greatly reduce the morale of the defending army. Thus, making the enemies easier to slay. Their purpose in coming here was not only to defeat the enemy army stationed here but also to turn their corpses into new zombie troops. The zombies from this army would have a better average level compared to the ones they revived from the massacre.

Unfortunately, Master was no longer here. It would take him some time to return here since the normal teleportation into a warring country was blocked, but three days should be enough for his Qilin. The Necronomicon could revive corpses that died a maximum of three days ago.

Linda was thinking if she should pull their main army out of the capital to face this new force. The zombie army should be enough to overrun the capital and slay the defenders. Her train of thought was disrupted by this officer who asked her to look at the incoming force she was already aware of.

“What is there to see?” Linda asked with annoyance.

The officer just continued pointing. Linda was about to scold the officer, but then she saw it too. The officer was not pointing at the incoming troops. He was pointing at the hill behind those troops. It was moving!

Linda blinked a few times to make sure there was nothing wrong with her eyes. The hill was indeed moving.

But now that she paid attention to the hill, it did not exactly look like a hill. It had a flat summit. The hill looked slightly rectangular. She could also see now how the hill was moving. It had some sort of spider-like legs underneath it. From the way it moved, she could see that the legs were mechanical.

“What the heck is that…?” She asked, not to anyone in particular.

Among the heavenly enforcers, she was the one to whom Master imparted most of the knowledge of this world. She never heard of him mentioning a thing resembling what she was seeing at the moment.

She knew then that she could not afford to underestimate this new force. She sent the command through the war table for all the Liguritudum army to gather outside the capital. He sent the same command to all the players in their camp. Half of this force was still fighting the Sangrod army supported by a portion of the zombie army. The Liguritudum army that had gone inside the capital now marched back out.

As for the capital, the rest of the zombie army was enough now that the defensive wall was of no use.

The Sangrod army was beaten back because their enemies’ number suddenly increased. They had also lost their command base to the enemy’s overwhelming number. None of Sangrod’s guilds had their guild armies in the field anymore.

They continued to retreat until they heard battle cries from their backs.

Saint Jonathan, who was with this retreating force, received a message from his son, John.

“Old man, you do know you look very pitiful at this moment, don’t you? Perhaps you should consider coming over to my guild, the greatest guild in this world. What do you think? Take your time. I will give you some time to think about it.”

“Cut the crap, you rebellious brat. Are you the one behind us?” Jonathan replied.

“Who else do you think?” John asked back.

“Then stop spouting nonsense! Come here and give us a hand!!”

“Hehe. No worry. We are here to whoop their asses.”

A loud horn was heard in the air. The horn came from the mechanical thing behind the newly arrived Themisphere force. Now that it was nearer, everyone had a better look at what it was.

It was a fort, complete with its walls and battlements. There were towers all around its walls. At its center was a keep. It even had a portcullis as the main entrance at its gatehouse. Everything about it was what one could find in a traditional fortress, except this one had eight mechanical legs at its bottom. These legs made crawling movements and let the fort move around.

Additionally, it also had what looked like arms coming out of its four corners. These arms were long and ended with pincers that could grab things on the ground.

This was the mobile fortress Jack had built before he left for Palgrost. It might be smaller than even the regular small fort, but everyone who saw it agreed that this mobile fortress was worth more than even the largest fort.

On the roof of the keep was John. He had the war table placed there. Tip and several players from other guilds were there with him. These guild players were from Themisphere guilds with headquarters. They had their guild army control platforms at the ready.

“Okay, ladies and gentlemen,” John addressed these players. “Time for ass-whooping.”

Everyone summoned their guild armies, including Everlasting Heavenly Legends. Nilrem, Rahab, and Uruk stood proudly in front of their guild army. Penny, Gumeru, and the newest addition to the guild guardian, a gigantic winged tiger with reddish furs.

The one million troops that came here with the mobile fortress were further bolstered by these guild armies. With another battle cry, they charged at the enemy.
