"Back off! Back off! I can't stop it—"
The number of speed zombies is much greater than everyone expected! What the guard saw before was just the dozen or so of them that first appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Their dexterous stature, astonishing speed, and physical strength that is at least stronger than that of ordinary living corpses make them extremely difficult to deal with.
Just outside the northern defense line, dozens of evolved speed zombies rushed out one after another. Even though a large number of wizards continued to cast magic spells on the defense line, and the magical brilliance fell forward in parabolas in the air, they almost only hit ordinary individuals.
Those thin, speedy individuals shuttled quickly among the living corpses, instinctively rushing toward the defense line in an "S" shape, causing most of the spells to fail.
Even if two or three magic spells happen to hit them occasionally, the damage caused by their body's resistance to magic is not great - it can't even stop them from continuing to move towards the defense line. Most of them just staggered, and at most they fell to the ground and rolled around, and then quickly got up again and continued to run wildly.
Not long after, the nightmare began when the first speed zombie rushed into the wizard team on the defensive line!
I saw an extremely agile enemy running around among the wizards. Suddenly, they came around behind a wizard, rushed forward, and climbed on his back with all four limbs. Then, people nearby only saw it hugging the companion's neck tightly, paying no attention to his struggle, and suddenly opened a mouth of sharp teeth and bit down hard.
For a moment, blood splatters and painful screams all turned into the first strokes of this disaster picture, and were heavily smeared on the dark and bitter paper.
"Retreat to the second line of defense! Don't resist, it's not time to fight yet!" A captain from the team sent by the Blois family shouted loudly.
Although I didn't expect that I would be unable to stop the attack of those speed zombies, in this case, "retreat" is the only option.
They are the wizards of the Blois family. They bear the honor of the family and are not afraid of death, but they cannot just take their own lives like fools.
Before the words were spoken, everyone hurriedly retreated step by step in order - the wands in their hands never stopped, and they were still casting magic spells. Even if it is difficult to hit the target they want to hit, if they keep attacking, they can at least hinder their offensive.
Abandoning the outermost line of defense and retreating quickly gave everyone some buffer space. I saw them reorganizing their team behind the second line of defense, making the spells to block the enemy more intensive.
The effect is certain, but unfortunately, the efficiency is still not high.
Even because the wizard's defense line retreated, the ordinary zombies could not keep up, and the speed zombies finally had no cover. However, these gray-skinned guys were still able to frequently dodge the spells that hit them, and swam further towards the second line of defense in a messy but unexpectedly fast way.
In addition, more speed zombies will appear later, and the number of evolved individuals that can be seen in everyone's field of vision is still increasing.
Only a few minutes later at most, the enemies rushed into the wizard's team again, and their numbers were even greater than before.
"Leave me alone and continue attacking...ah!"
Suddenly, another wizard was bitten on the neck. But while he screamed loudly, he tightly grabbed the arm of the living corpse that was strangling his neck, and then rushed out of the defense line with the enemy behind him.
"Bang!"
He almost released an explosion curse with his backhand against the forehead of the speed zombie, and because the distance was so close, even his own head was exploded.
However, it was just an explosion curse. Even if it exploded on its head, the living corpse still did not completely lose its ability to move. There was a big gap on its head, and while dark red blood was splashing everywhere, it was still struggling to get up.
However, it is obvious that the male wizard's self-sacrifice still has great significance - at least he took a very threatening enemy away from the vicinity of his other companions, eliminating the possibility of more casualties in the wizard team. .
It's a pity that this is not the only enemy who attacks the wizard team this time
"Retreat! Get behind the last line of defense! Miss Granger's powerful magic will protect you from behind. These guys... shouldn't be able to get through."
Several wizards had just been waiting in the formation to transport magic power. As soon as they retreated to the final line of defense, the gravity trap would be activated immediately.
We don’t know yet whether we can completely block these extremely fast guys, but we should be able to withstand them for a while.
The most critical thing now is that before retreating to the last line of defense, they have to get rid of the few who rushed into the team, and they must not bring them in!
Chaos and order are not contradictory and are staged on the battlefield. The teams from various forces that could be sent to Weymouth for combat power were obviously not fools. In order to ensure the efficiency of the retreat, everyone was following the instructions of the captains of the Blois family.
After some more casualties and sacrifices, the wizards in the north of the camp finally retreated to the last line of defense, and the gravity trap was opened.
"Gahao-"
The speed zombies that were chasing after them screamed sharply, but failed to catch up in the end. The gravity rules that were activated were suddenly pulled towards the ground. They only had speed, but did not have the physical strength like the power zombies. They were unable to resist the sudden increase in gravity. They fell to the ground one after another and were suppressed to death.
When many wizards saw this scene, they immediately shouted.
"Don't take it lightly! Clean up the ordinary living corpses that have gathered around you as soon as possible!"
A voice came from behind the defense line, causing many people to turn around, only to see that it was Percy coming out of the camp.
"A major flaw of these gravity traps is that enemies will accumulate," Percy reminded loudly. "Some of you may have seen it last time. Ordinary zombies must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise those speed-type individuals Sooner or later they will crawl over on their corpses!”
After a few simple explanations, he then turned to:
"In addition, I have sent an urgent letter to Madame Maxime for help. She will bring Mr. Blois here! Everyone, work harder to stop those disgusting guys! Hold on!"
After saying that, Percy actually took out his wand and seemed to intend to stay on the defensive line.
"I am with you!"
