Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 421

Chapter 421: Chapter 411: Living Corpse Army, Striking Back Again (Part 2)

This time, Shen Tang was determined to fight to the death without retreat.

The ministers and officials mostly agreed as well, insisting on no retreat — the Beastman had always had bravery and valiant blood coursing through their veins!

Constant retreat would only amplify the arrogance of the rebel army.

If you want to fight, then fight!

On that day, Shen Tang ordered the gathering of troops to strengthen the northern defense line and prepare for a direct confrontation with this undead horde.

After the previous encounter with the Living Corpse Army, the Empire had summarized some effective combat strategies.

Engaging them in close combat was not only futile but also exposed troops to injuries and infections.

Therefore, this time, the army used mid-to-long-range weapons, with headshots and fire attacks being most effective, inflicting significant damage on the living corpses.

Unfortunately, the available troops this time were only half of what they had last time. If there were more soldiers, there might be a chance for a strong fight.

The only good news was that compared to last time, the Empire now had three Tenth Rank Beastmen — Xue Yinzhou, Lu Xiao, and Qiu Yang, who was captured for labor to atone for his crimes.

No need to say more about Xue Yinzhou; his devouring ability was just as lethal to the living corpses.

Back when he was Ninth Rank, he could single-handedly eliminate thousands upon thousands of living corpses. Now, having risen to the Tenth Rank, his power was even greater — he could alone encircle and annihilate a Living Corpse Army of tens of thousands.

Lu Xiao was of the Flying System, with a wind element superpower, perfectly suited for high-air, long-range strikes. His attacks were precise and highly efficient.

Qiu Yang was not a pure-blooded Nine-tailed Fox and lacked the Destructive Fire, yet his Fox Fire was strong enough to deal a devastating blow to the living corpses!

Xiao Jin had not yet advanced to the Tenth Rank, but his Peak of the Ninth Rank strength made him brave and skilled in battle, capable of fighting enemies beyond his level and easily challenging thousands on the battlefield.

However, he was a melee type, not suited for direct confrontation with the living corpses. Moreover, Shen Tang had reservations about Qiu Yang, so she appointed Xiao Jin as the commander-in-chief and Qiu Yang as the deputy general to lead one army together.

Shen Tang ordered them each to lead a troop, holding the front line to prevent the Living Corpse Army from expanding further.

Upon hearing about the unrest in the Night Glow Empire, the Yiyuan Empire immediately dispatched a strong unit to assist.

This time, Shen Tang did not refuse. She was not an unreasonable person, and private matters with Shen Li were private while public affairs were public.

She did not want to be involved with him anymore but wasn’t foolish; the Night Glow Empire urgently needed external assistance now.

Previously, she refused because she couldn’t discern the other’s intentions and dared not accept unknown goodwill rashly.

Shen Li had crafty thoughts, but from recent interactions, he seemed to have no designs on Night Glow Empire’s territory; otherwise, he could have detained her last time when she ventured into Yiyuan Empire’s domain.

The Yunding Empire also sent a troop to offer support.

Jia Lan even contacted his mother specifically.

Though the Sea Country’s troops couldn’t conduct large-scale inland operations, they were a powerful external reinforcement. Not to mention, the Sea Country was resource-rich, providing abundant logistical supplies, offering strong support to the frontline.
