"Look closely," one of the soldiers said, pointing toward the battlefield.
"Because of the evolved zombie’s relentless attacks, the zombies around it are getting caught in the frost and frozen solid. As Captain Vulture keeps moving, the evolved zombie rolls around in its blind fury and ends up smashing into the frozen zombies, shattering them to pieces. In the end, all Captain Vulture has to do is evade while the evolved zombie takes care of its own kind. Heh, brilliant, isn’t it?"
"Ohhh! What a clever strategy!" another soldier exclaimed, eyes widening in admiration.
They turned their attention to the battle below, and the soldier’s explanation proved to be spot on.
Frozen zombies were scattered all over the battlefield, immobilized by the frost.
The ice-type evolved zombie, now in its massive rolling ball form, barreled through the area, smashing into its own frozen kind like a bowling ball hitting pins.
The sheer strength of the evolved zombie left the others completely helpless—unable to fight back, they froze and shattered like fragile glass upon impact. freёwebnovel.com
Meanwhile, Vulture managed to avoid significant harm.
Though his armor occasionally caught the frost, he quickly shattered the affected areas before it could spread to his body, skillfully repeating the process.
His calculated movements left only him and the evolved zombie on the battlefield. Even the warriors below had retreated to the safety of the wall, unwilling to become obstacles in his strategy.
Since Vulture couldn’t defeat the evolved zombie head-on, he decided to turn it into a weapon against the incoming horde.
After all, even if the evolved zombie possessed seemingly endless stamina, did it also have an unlimited reserve of spiritual energy?
That was the question Vulture intended to find an answer to.
For now, he conserved his own strength, using only the bare minimum of spiritual energy to maintain his earth armor while focusing entirely on evasion.
His goal was simple: force the evolved zombie to expend as much spiritual energy as possible.
If it ran out of spiritual energy, he could seize the advantage and strike decisively.
But even in the worst-case scenario—if the evolved zombie somehow had an inexhaustible supply of energy—it wouldn’t be a total loss.
Its relentless attacks were already devastating the surrounding zombie horde, turning it into an unwitting ally in thinning their numbers.
Either way, Vulture’s strategy ensured that he wasn’t fighting this battle alone.
Once they grasped the situation, the warriors and soldiers began to relax, observing as Vulture singlehandedly handled both the incoming zombie horde and the evolved zombie.
Their tension eased slightly, but they remained vigilant, scanning for any sign of another evolved zombie that could tip the scales and put Vulture at a disadvantage.
Meanwhile, the STAU prepared a supply of stamina boosters and vials of black liquid—an emergency elixir designed to replenish both stamina and spiritual energy.
These were kept ready for immediate delivery, ensuring Vulture could sustain the fight should he begin to falter.
Though confident in his abilities, they knew better than to let their guard down in a battle this critical.
The battle raged on for another two hours.
Meanwhile, on Kisha’s side, the warriors and soldiers who had been on the frontlines rotated out, replaced by fresh reinforcements.
The first batch of fighters retreated to the tents, physically drained and low on spiritual energy.
However, instead of simply resting, many of them took Kisha’s earlier advice to heart.
Rather than lying idle, the resting warriors used the opportunity to strengthen their foundations with Scarlet Honey, a rare elixir that enhanced physical and spiritual growth.
