Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 493: Chapter 504: Centaur Legion

“Can’t deny, these Otherworld creatures, born from snakes, are truly bizarre; they come in all shapes and forms.”

Lu Chuan observed the battlefield ahead with great interest, especially the Centaurs opposite him, whose forms were too strange.

Rumbling～

At this moment, thousands of Centaurs, over two meters high, were being besieged by an endless Corpse Tide.

These Centaurs, holding bows and arrows, continuously adjusted their positions quickly while pulling bowstrings, shooting out arrows.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh～

The arrows shot with great speed, high penetration force, and directly pierced the heads of rushing zombies, causing them to explode and fall to the ground.

In just a moment, the ground in front of the Centaur Legion was covered in zombie corpses.

However, these zombies killed by the Centaur Legion were only a small part compared to the boundless Corpse Tide.

After leaving Mid Heaven City with the Corpse Tide, Lu Chuan traveled for another two days.

Along the way, although he didn’t pass through city centers, he still managed to gather wandering zombies, bringing the Corpse Tide Army’s numbers back to around 500,000.

And thanks to the previous contribution of the Frost Giant Wolves, the quality of Corpse Tide zombies far surpassed before.

By this time, they had left Jiang Province and arrived at Hidden Dragon City in the neighboring Lin Province.

To Lu Chuan’s relief, here he encountered another batch of fearless allies, the “Centaur” Legion.

These strangely shaped alien creatures, like those Winged-men, ravaged the entire Hidden Dragon City.

Upon arriving at Hidden Dragon City, Lu Chuan immediately dispatched the flyer squad to investigate, discovering the presence of Centaurs in many locations.

The original masters of this city, Hidden Dragon Base City, were trapped within the Base City, barely surviving.

The battle between the Corpse Tide and the Centaur Legion continued.

Even though many Corpse Puppets were lost under the Centaur Legion’s archery in the initial encounter, for Lu Chuan, it was just a drop in the bucket.

With the Centaur Legion surrounded by the Corpse Tide, Lu Chuan was in no hurry and continued to direct the Corpse Tide to charge at the Centaur Legion.

As time passed, after shooting hundreds of arrows, many Centaurs became exhausted, and the frequency of their attacks noticeably decreased.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh～

As the dense rain of arrows weakened, it could no longer suppress the advancing Corpse Tide, causing the distance between them to shorten increasingly.

Especially under Lu Chuan’s control, the tank-type Corpse Puppets with strong defenses led the Corpse Tide from the front, stepping forward relentlessly like heavy tanks, crushing the ground frantically.

Simultaneously, many agile-type Corpse Puppets used their ghostly speed to dodge arrows, quickly approaching.

Seeing this, the Centaur Legion began to panic; the previously tidy sound of bowstrings became chaotic, accompanied by shouts incomprehensible to Lu Chuan, seemingly communicating something.

The Centaur Legion, knowing they could suppress the fearless monsters in front of them by relying on the advantage of long-range archery to maintain distance.

Once these monsters got close, with their numbers and sharp teeth and claws, they could instantly break through their defenses.

Fearful of the Corpse Tide’s approach threatening their safety, the weakened arrows suddenly rampaged again; the Centaur Legion frantically pulled bowstrings, shooting arrows to suppress the Corpse Tide attempting to engage closely.

Especially targeting the tank-type Corpse Puppets with strong defenses and agile-type Corpse Puppets with high speed, dozens of fifth-level Centaurs carried out targeted eliminations within the legion.

One after another, Golden-Striped Black Iron Arrows pierced the sky, shooting down two Corpse Puppets that posed considerable threats, relieving some pressure from the Corpse Tide.

Unfortunately, upon witnessing this scenario, the Centaurs showed no joy but rather expressions of solemnity and urgency.

As the advantage was merely temporary, the original heavy consumption of energy now became even more severe.

Several minutes later, the attack with arrows would drastically diminish.

By that time, the entire Centaur Legion would be overwhelmed by Lu Chuan’s Corpse Tide.

Facing such a perilous crisis, the several sixth-level Centaur Commanders who had been leading from the center finally took action.

Their eyes were cold and merciless, their bodies robust and muscular, with sculpted perfection; standing around three meters tall, much taller than the other Centaurs, emitting a strong and dangerous aura.

They wore magnificent golden armor, shining in the sunlight, while their heads were adorned with bone decorations naturally falling, with a neck chain made of many unknown creature teeth, and numerous bone bracelets on their wrists.

These sixth-level Centaurs drew down their sturdy arms, retrieving a more than two-meter-long giant bone bow from their sides.

The white bone bow seemed to be made from some animal’s spine, with sections of white bones lined with sharp bone spines, emanating a faint white Spiritual Light.

The next moment, they took out three massive white bone arrows from their shoulder straps.

Drawing bows and shooting arrows, a faint red glow began to flow throughout the bow and arrows, glowing increasingly bright over time.

Bang bang bang～

The bowstrings vibrated, echoing like thousands of thunderclaps; in an instant, more than ten fiery arrows, resembling flaming missiles flying in curves, flew over the Centaurs’ heads and smashed in fan shapes into the oncoming Corpse Tide.

Boom boom boom!

Like actual missiles, these fiery arrows exploded upon impact, instantly clearing a large area, halting the Corpse Tide’s assault.

“Damn it, playing dirty now, huh!”

Seeing this scene, Lu Chuan was furious and directly ordered the sixth-level Corpse Puppets that hadn’t acted yet to attack.

“Roar!”

Instantly, more than ten sixth-level Corpse Puppets roared and launched attacks.

In a flash, numerous fireballs accompanied by dense ice spears struck the Centaur Legion; then an expanse of Frost Realm spread over, stalling the actions of all Centaurs; simultaneously, Flyer One descended from the sky, launching countless black scales…

For a moment, the Centaur Legion was caught off guard, losing half of their forces instantaneously.

Having only ranged attack advantages, the Centaurs couldn’t withstand the assault by the sixth-level Corpse Puppets, lost amidst the diverse abilities of high-level Corpse Puppets, swiftly overwhelmed by the Corpse Tide.

“Awooooo～～”

Suddenly, the Centaur Legion erupted with shrill, miserable cries; many surviving Centaurs were engulfed by the Corpse Tide, occluded and devoured alive, dying horrifically with blood flowing all over.

“Compared to the Frost Giant Wolves, these Centaur creatures are utterly vulnerable.”

Lu Chuan shook his head, and the next moment ordered the Corpse Tide to attack with full force, slaughtering all these Centaur creatures completely.
