Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 381: Chapter 393: Imperial Capital’s Response: Has the Entire Jiang Province Been Abandoned?

Previously, Huang Xuan already had the intention of seeking revenge against the Corpse King, but unfortunately, his fourth-tier Mutated Pangolin was killed by the Corpse King, completely losing the means to track him.

This led to him being unable to find the Corpse King even if he wanted to take action, leaving him feeling utterly frustrated.

Originally, Huang Xuan believed that the day he could avenge the Corpse King was indefinitely far off.

Because the Corpse King’s whereabouts were mysterious, he could only discover them again after the Corpse King reappeared.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Huang Xuan heard from his subordinates about the Corpse King’s attack on Li River Base City.

“Such a terrifying Corpse Tide…”

Knowing that the Corpse King captured Li River Base City in a short period, Huang Xuan naturally felt apprehensive.

He had personally experienced the Corpse King’s power and suffered greatly.

In order to seek revenge and also to seize the opportunity to tame Thunderous Roar, Huang Xuan pondered deeply and decided to inform the humans, helping the surrounding Base Cities with advice, hoping to achieve two goals with one move.

Of course, he didn’t just notify Jianghai Base; he had already informed all the nearby Base Cities.

I believe the leaders of these Base Cities must be busy because of this matter now.

He believed that as long as these Human Base Cities could act, it was very likely that Thunderous Roar would be drawn to the Corpse King, and then they would inevitably clash.

“This time, the Corpse King and Thunderous Roar will certainly be at each other’s throats!”

Thinking of this, Huang Xuan’s eyes sharpened, showing a resolute expression.

If the plan succeeded, he wouldn’t need to keep hiding anymore.

Having Thunderous Roar by his side would make a significant difference to his strength.

Once he successfully tamed Thunderous Roar, even if faced with a human official manhunt, they wouldn’t dare send people to hunt him down.

The power of a fifth-tier Fierce Beast is formidable, especially considering Thunderous Roar’s past achievements of breaking through Shanchuan Base City.

“Baby, let’s go!”

With a decision made, Huang Xuan stepped on the third-tier Fierce Bird, gave a prompt, and quickly flew out of the mountain forest towards the Beast King Sect’s latest lair.

Inside the meeting room.

Even though the high-ranking officials had some ideas about the mysterious person’s suggestion, they remained silent facing the yet-to-speak Base City leader.

The Base City leader, who was pondering the mysterious person’s motive, raised his head, surveyed the crowd, and asked, “Everyone, share your thoughts! What do you think of the plan to lure Thunderous Roar?”

Upon hearing this, the crowd exchanged glances and, after a brief silence, began to speak up.

“Chief, I find the mysterious person’s suggestion extremely feasible. If Thunderous Roar can be lured over, they will surely fight, and then our Jianghai Base City can reap the benefits!”

“Exactly, the Corpse King is currently in Jiang Province, not far from our Jianghai Base City. Our Base City’s life and death crisis is imminent.

If Thunderous Roar can be lured over, causing a fierce battle between them, no matter who wins or loses, both sides will suffer greatly.

If we strike decisively, there is a great chance we can eliminate these two threats!”

“Currently, besides leveraging Thunderous Roar’s power, what else can we do?

So let’s not hesitate too much and take action!”

“Thunderous Roar and the Corpse King, these two hidden dangers…”

Most people agreed with this suggestion, mainly because they couldn’t think of a better way to deal with the Corpse King now.

There are essentially two methods to kill the Corpse King: face him head-on and forcefully eliminate him, or conduct a decapitation strike, going straight for the kill.

Head-on confrontation is impossible. The Corpse King can summon a Corpse Tide, making it difficult for even a coalition of Jianghai Base City and other Base Cities to eliminate him through force.

The warriors inside these Base Cities can hardly match the overwhelming number of zombies.

Conducting a decapitation strike is equally challenging as the Corpse King has many high-tier Evolved Zombies under his command. Even the renowned Soaring Dragon Squad in the Imperial Capital was defeated by him.

These Base Cities could hardly muster resources comparable to the Soaring Dragon Squad, making the possibility of sending out operatives to kill the Corpse King almost futile.

However, a minority of individuals expressed somber concern, apparently indifferent to the mysterious person’s suggestions.

“I find it inappropriate; Thunderous Roar’s strength is extremely dangerous and not easy to provoke. If something goes wrong, our Jianghai Base faces the threat of annihilation!”

“Chief, I think we should consider this matter carefully; we don’t know the identity of the mysterious person. Their advice might have some hidden motives.”

“Yes, we don’t know if the mysterious person is good or bad. If their proposal…”

“…”

“But with the current Corpse King crisis, if we don’t lure Thunderous Roar, do we just wait for Jianghai Base to perish?”

“Anyway, we shouldn’t act rashly…”

When someone objected, many high-ranking officials who shared approval couldn’t help but counter.

For a moment, both sides fell into a heated argument, showing signs of intensifying. The Base City leader, seated at the head position, remained silent, with a conflicted mind.

Luring Thunderous Roar to the Corpse King’s side and setting off a fight could indeed relieve the Base City’s pressure.

But enticing Thunderous Roar is not easy, and the dispatched team could be torn apart by Thunderous Roar.

Step, step, step~

At this moment, footsteps were heard again from outside the door.

A pale-faced officer quickly walked in.

Upon hearing the noise, both sides of the debate immediately fell silent, collectively looking over.

The officer walked to the Base City leader’s side and, feeling the gazes upon him, hesitated briefly before speaking: “Chief, news has just come from the Imperial Capital.

The Imperial Capital has asked Jiang Province’s key Base Cities to unite and work together to deal with the Corpse King, as they can’t spare manpower temporarily.”

What?

Upon hearing this, everyone present, be it Base City commanders or high-ranking officials, involuntarily changed their expressions to ones of distress.

Join forces with other Base Cities? If cooperation truly worked, they wouldn’t have sought aid from the Imperial Capital.

Also, this is the Corpse King that the Imperial Capital regards as extremely important!

Moreover, it has already destroyed a Base City!

Such a dire situation, yet the Imperial Capital isn’t sending help, which indeed shocks everyone.

At this moment, a common thought concurrently appeared in everyone’s mind.

“Could it be… Jiang Province has been abandoned by the Imperial Capital?”
