Chapter 453: The Heavens Forsake Me
Hachikuju didn’t need to rally anyone, as everyone understood it well.
If they couldn’t get out now, they might never get out.
Without time to first gather in formation, Hachikuju urged Red Blood to leap out, followed closely by all the Red Flame Wolf Riders. The rest of the cavalry automatically formed a triangular battle formation while advancing.
Alongside Hachikuju were Qizilbash, Uncle Peng, and a few second-rank evolvers, leading the charge against the zombie horde ahead.
Piled up like mountains, the crowd was filled with decaying skulls. This was their first time coming into such close contact with a large number of zombies. If they could have dealt with them remotely in the past, they would have done so.
Despite the overwhelming numbers, there was no fear in anyone’s eyes. Hachikuju, embodying the war god, gave them a strong sense of security, boosting the resolve of the wolf riders behind.
We must fight our way out!
With leaders like City Lord Hachikuju and City Lord of Qizilbash as the sharp edge of the battle formation, what was left to fear?
Hachikuju’s stature increased to over two meters, her giant axe reaching its full potential. With eyes blazing and a fierce aura, she resembled the legendary demon of myths—a fearsome presence.
“Charge!”
At Hachikuju’s roar, Red Blood leaped in synchronization. Even with Hachikuju’s increased weight, it didn’t hinder its agility. The sound of hooves signaled the beginning of its ultimate form.
The true origin of the name Red Flame Wolf Rider!
The Red Blood turned red all over, flames formed under its hooves, sparks shot out from its nostrils, its power and speed reached their peak.
Fiery Stallion!
Its flames only hurt enemies, not its owner or itself, very domineering.
The bloodline of the Sweat Blood Horse further enhanced, flames engulfed the rider and the horse, charging straight towards the zombie army.
Under the resonance of Red Blood’s bloodline, all the warhorses of the Red Flame Wolf Rider were ignited with fire awakening abilities. Among the five thousand wolf riders, there were two thousand fire warhorses, flames rising and forming a spectacular wall of fire, crashing into the fifty thousand zombies ahead.
Boom!
Waves of heat rolled through the air, the smell of roasting flesh filled the air, the formation led by Hachikuju instantly tore open a gap in the zombie army, advancing mightily.
In the first wave of contact, Hachikuju and his group had already killed at least ten thousand zombies. Other warriors swiftly followed behind the Red Flame Wolf Rider’s opening, sharing the pressure from the sides.
Red Blood rushed into the zombie sea at full speed, if it wasn’t for Hachikuju making sure to stay with the group, he would have dashed out alone. He hacked a zombie trying to climb onto his horse, then stomped hard, turning the zombies underneath into ash.
“Quick, quick, keep up!”
Even though Hachikuju urged everyone on, the situation was not optimistic. The bloodlines of the other fire-element warhorses were mixed, only able to awaken such abilities under the resonance of Red Blood’s bloodline.
As time passed, the flames on them slowly extinguished. Due to their weak control over the fire element, they could only last five seconds at most. Now, the fire-element warhorses were no different from regular warhorses.
Red Blood also felt the weakness of his counterparts behind him, but he had no way to help. Activating for them already pushed his limits. The purity of the fire-element warhorses’ bloodline here was not even one-tenth of his own.
Losing the protection of flames, the zombies beside them became more reckless, biting at the horses’ legs, bellies, and even the humans riding them. They were crazed, with one goal in mind: to keep all the humans there.
They succeeded, with an average of three zombies hanging onto each warhorse. Less fortunate riders were already pulled down from their horses.
The warhorses attacked on their soft bellies cried out in pain, collapsed, and became meals for the approaching zombie horde.
This couldn’t go on, the group’s breakout speed had slowed down.
Hachikuju noticed the remaining zombie horde chasing after Red Blood as he leaped just now. Even with only fifty thousand enemies, the situation was already very difficult. Facing ten times more enemies would be impossible for anyone.
“Qizilbash, how long can your awakening power last the longest?”
Qizilbash swiftly knocked away an agile zombie approaching from behind for him, without looking back, he asked, “Which one?”
“The second one, the one breaking through the earthen wall.”
“It doesn’t matter how long it usually lasts. The problem is if you activate it now, you will have to withstand attacks from at least thirty thousand zombies at once. It will shatter in just one second. You’re not planning to use it to break through, right? Besides, the path ahead is blocked now, so even if you break it, it won’t help.”
Hachikuju whispered quickly, “So, it can last for one second, right? I’ll create a path, you keep the earthen wall open. Escape as far as you can.”
“Let’s give it a try!”
As Hachikuju spoke, he began releasing his awakening power. This time, he gathered all the energy onto his massive axe, where a sharp aura began to spiral around the blade, revealing its formidable power.
Boom!
“One axe, opening the sky!”
With a roar from Hachikuju’s mouth, a earth-shattering axe immediately followed.
This sky-opening axe was even stronger than when Hachikuju faced the sandstorm, back then he held back, but now he used all his strength.
Stepping on Red Blood’s head, they cooperatively propelled Hachikuju to the highest point.
The enormous blade energy created two huge cracks on the ground, eliminating all the zombies within!
Originally not far from the exit, now they could see the end of the fifty thousand zombie horde directly.
Exhausted, Hachikuju fell down, and Red Blood caught him steadily, Qizilbash beside him reacted without a prompt; just as the surrounding zombies didn’t close off their escape route again, they suddenly activated their awakening abilities.
Two towering earthen walls rose from the cracks blasted open by Hachikuju, blocking the zombies hordes trying to press in from the sides.
“Quick! Let’s go!”
The wolf riders behind them stopped fighting the zombies around them. No matter how many zombies were hanging on their war horses, they urged their horses to gallop at full speed.
Just as the remaining three thousand wolf riders, trampling the zombie flesh crushed by Hachikuju, were about to break out of the encirclement of zombies, something happened that made everyone despair.
In front of the gap, a new group of zombies surged up from behind again.
At that moment, the Qizilbash earthen wall also collapsed with a loud crash.
Watching the swarming zombie horde approaching, Hachikuju’s eyes dimmed.
Oh no, heaven forsakes me!
