Traveling through the game world
Chapter 436 Plague Attack
"Command the Abominations to advance in a rolling motion!"
The so-called "rolling forward" simply means that the massive, mountain-like abominations hug their feet with their hands, their feet hanging over their heads, and their center of gravity forward—roll, baby cow…
The massive Abomination's movement speed isn't slow, but even a middle school student knows that speed is relative. No matter how fast the Abomination moves, it can never be faster than the turret movement speed of the HXT01 main battle tank, nor faster than the speed of a tank shell, since those are supersonic.
However, there is one situation in which the HXT01 main battle tank has difficulty aiming – when the target is in an irregular state of motion, especially at high speed.
The Abomination's power is immense. After all, it's impossible for liches to simply assemble fat; such a monster would have no power at all. In fact, the Abomination is all muscle, making it incredibly strong. Once it uses its rolling motion, its speed is no less than the speed of sound. Of course, supersonic speed is impossible, but it's definitely as fast as lightning.
"Damn it! These undead are reckless! Stark, blow them to bits! Use missiles!" Lian Yang was furious as he watched the Abominations charge into the human infantry formation and mow them down like plowshares. "Damn it, how can these damn Abominations be so strong!"
"Received!" However, the HXT01 main battle tank is, after all, a modern tank. The most fundamental difference between modern tanks and World War II tanks is that modern tanks have missiles, and missiles are basically standard weapons.
In war, the first thing to consider is the foundation, the second is the weapon, and the third is the tactics. At present, the undead are naturally superior in terms of the foundation, after all, they have gathered enough soldiers through a terrible disaster to create more undead.
When it comes to weaponry, humanity is naturally superior. At least with Lian Yang's sponsorship, Arthas's forces possess the terrifying HX01 electromagnetic rifle and the even more formidable HXT01 main battle tank. The combat power brought by these revolutionary weapons is terrifying.
Of course, even if Lian Yang's weapons were incredibly advanced, this was World of Warcraft, not Earth. This was a world of swords and magic, so despite the superiority of Lian Yang's weapons, it only gave Arthas's forces an advantage, not a decisive one.
In this situation, the skill of both commanders will be put to the test. Whoever commands more effectively and whose tactics are more innovative will win.
It's clear that from the initial undead swarm tactic to the rolling tactic just now, although they are all very simple, it's important to remember that the undead have no intelligence, so such simple tactics are already quite valuable for the undead race. Of course, the most amazing thing is that the effect is just too good.
Looking at the fierce battlefield, Lian Yang nodded and said, "This Ras really has some skills. Mortar squad, keep bombarding without stopping. Tank units, lock onto the Abominations with missiles and launch guided attacks. Main guns bombard the siege equipment behind the enemy!"
However, compared to the almost undead race of Beech, the human forces are far more intelligent. Consequently, the same tactics can be executed by the commanders below with ease and pleasure without any further explanation.
"Gargoyle troops, attack! Focus on the enemy tanks!" Ras was at his wit's end. Although his undead horde was large in number, it had no advantage under the enemy's machine gun fire. Although the Abominations could charge into the enemy's camp and cause huge carnage, they couldn't withstand the enemy tanks' sniping. What was worse, the enemy's mortar squads kept bombarding with huge shells. For a moment, Ras felt like he was about to collapse.
"At this rate, we'll probably be able to completely take down this undead base soon!" Arthas watched the battlefield from the side, his face full of satisfaction. Of course, he was even more amazed by the terrifying power of Lianyang's weapons. If these weapons weren't limited to a one-month duration, Arthas would have been confident that he could conquer the world with them.
Lian Yang shook his head and said, "Impossible. These damned undead have other tricks up their sleeves. Be careful!"
As soon as Lian Yang finished speaking, a soldier behind him reported, "Your Highness, Viscount, a massive undead army has appeared behind us and is attacking us. Their sea of skeletons is even larger than what we see in front of us!"
With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the soldiers and said, "See? What did I tell you? These damned undead still have a backup plan. However, I also anticipated Dean's attack. Order the mortar squad to turn around and attack, bombard the enemy's sea of undead!"
Having learned from Ras's experience, Dean certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to send his main force to their deaths. Instead, he prepared an even more terrifying and denser army of skeletons as meat shields to launch the attack. After all, Dean was reluctant to let ghouls attack.
"Hmph, a mortar squad? I have similar attacks!" Dean's empty skull head had its mouth moving up and down as if it were speaking, but in reality, as a lich, its mouth was completely useless... it was just a habit.
"Order: Meat wagons, drop plague bombs on the enemy! Order: Gargoyle airstrikes, drop plague bombs!" Dean sneered as he spoke to Ras through mental fluctuations: "You idiot! No matter how powerful their muskets are, they are still human beings, living beings. Have you eaten your plague?"
Of course, Dean knew that if they simply launched an attack, neither Ras nor Dean himself, let alone the two of them combined, would be a match for the other. However, the strongest force of the undead race was never their true armed forces; it was only a part of their power.
The true reason why the undead can be called the "Undead Calamity" is that they can spread an incredibly terrifying plague. The undead themselves are naturally not afraid of this plague, since they are already dead; what do the dead have to fear from poisoning? However, all living beings have absolutely no immunity to viruses.
"Damn it, these undead are throwing viruses! They're attacking us with viruses!" The battle report from the front lines reached the rear immediately. Arthas's face twisted in rage upon hearing it. "These damned undead are using such shameless tactics!" he roared.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Don't worry, I can handle the plague, but for now, we have no way to resist their virus!" Lian Yang knew that he hadn't prepared adequately. He had been relying on military force all along, forgetting that the undead race actually hated plague attacks the most. And yet, he hadn't taken any precautions against it.
"That's all we can do. Prepare to retreat!" Arthas knew that with the enemy's massive plague outbreak, his soldiers were lucky to be alive. He couldn't risk taking his brothers with him, especially since too many human casualties would only bolster the enemy's forces. After all, the undead relied on the dead for sustenance.
"Chase them! I'm going to kill these damned humans!" After learning about the power of the virus, Ras on this side roared wildly that he wanted to take revenge.
Dean snapped angrily, "Lass, you idiot, shut up! They just don't want to suffer bigger losses, that doesn't mean they can't handle us!" Dean looked at Lass beside him and wondered how Lass, with his pig brain, had managed to fight against him for so many years!
The current situation is that Lian Yang led a large force to carry out a frenzied sweep, causing considerable losses to Lass, but it did nothing to Dean, because the two groups dispersed after just one encounter.
In fact, even for Ras, only the base was in a terrible state; otherwise, there wasn't much damage. The main force had been replaced with skeletons early on, so the losses weren't particularly high.
This battle was merely a simple test for all three parties, which is why Dean decisively stopped Ras when he was about to pursue Lian Yang. Currently, the undead fear human firearms, and humans fear the undead plague; a balance has been struck, and both sides need time to resolve their respective problems.
"Hopefully, can you solve this plague of the undead?" Lian Yang knew that the Hope System was usually reliable at this time, because Lian Yang's own mediocre skills were not enough to handle such a large-scale plague.
"It can be treated, but there's absolutely no way to prevent it!" Hope System said, "The problem with the undead is a very troublesome energy virus. I can provide you with enough effective medicine to ensure that they won't die or turn into zombies, but there's no way to vaccinate everyone because it's a virus, not a disease."
“Vaccines? No, no, no…” Lian Yang shook his head and said, “Vaccines are not necessary. As long as the disease can be cured, vaccines are not crucial. But the problem now is, what about the war? Once they step onto the battlefield, they will inevitably be poisoned. This puts me in a difficult position.”
Hope was silent for a while before saying, "Do you remember how people resisted poison gas attacks during World War II?"
"I remember, gas masks!" Lian Yang's eyes lit up as he spoke, "You mean, you can provide gas masks?"
Hope said, "It's not gas masks, but rather you can provide these soldiers with the special combat uniforms of the Chinese Empire. Gas masks alone cannot perfectly protect against the enemy's plague."
The exclusive combat uniform of the Chinese Empire was also developed by the Hope System. Lian Yang had a deep impression of that equipment. It had sufficient defense, could effectively resist poison gas attacks, and had a powerful electronic system. It was definitely a good thing.
"That's the only way!" Lian Yang nodded and said, "However, it's obvious that you can't wear armor with this kind of combat uniform. How effective is this combat uniform against swords and blades?"
Lian Yang and Arthas are friends, very good friends. Of course, with such a close relationship, Lian Yang has no intention of betraying Arthas. After all, this is a world of swords and magic, and good bulletproof performance does not mean strong ability to protect against swords.
"This is a brand-new combat suit specifically designed for soldiers in World of Warcraft. It features a tight-fitting design, and considering that this is a world of swords and magic, it also enhances magic resistance to a certain extent." As the Hope System spoke, a tight-fitting combat suit appeared before Lian Yang's eyes. Of course, there was also a magnificent set of plate armor to match it.
Firstly, the combat suit itself isn't particularly striking in appearance; it's just a black, tight-fitting bodysuit. Moreover, the design seems geared towards combat, and the material specifications state it's highly elastic and won't hinder movement.
The matching armor is a standard full-body plate armor, protecting the entire body, including the eyes. The eyes, in particular, are protected by specially made lenses that ensure near-perfect vision even without glasses. The magnification can also be adjusted via a mechanism, reaching up to eight times the magnification.
The joints of the armor utilize high-strength ball bearings, ensuring that the armor does not impede the movement of the warrior wearing it. The Conquest Armor, of course, employs bio-alloy technology, possessing extremely high impact resistance and strong magic resistance. Furthermore, it is remarkably lightweight; a complete set of sturdy full-body plate armor weighs only 10 kilograms.
"Not bad, Hope System is indeed reliable!" Lian Yang rarely praised Hope System, and then immediately took out the medicine given by Hope System and handed it to Arthas, saying, "Put this medicine in water, one small packet for each large bucket, and one person can drink one cup of water!"
"Great!" At some point, Lian Yang had almost become Arthas's Doraemon. Whenever Arthas had a problem he couldn't solve, he would go to Lian Yang and Lian Yang would always have a solution. This time was no exception...
"Lian Yang, your medicine is amazing! You didn't even see it! Those soldiers, ravaged by the plague and on the verge of death, drank a cup of this medicine and recovered completely in less than a minute after a bout of diarrhea! It's incredible!" Arthas had experienced Lian Yang's miraculous powers firsthand, but this time the feeling was even stronger.
Waving his hand, Lian Yang said, "Alright, the medicine is only a cure, it can only treat the root cause. Here, wear the black one close to your body. I don't need to teach you how to wear armor, do I?" As he spoke, Lian Yang picked out a set of silver-white armor and handed it to Arthas.
"What is this?" Arthas took the armor and combat suit, looking puzzled. "These clothes and armor are so light, are they really effective at defense?" The armor Arthas was wearing was far too light for Lian Yang to believe; its light weight was almost unbelievable.
"The black ones are clothes to defend against viruses. They have some magical resistance, and to be honest, their physical defense is so-so. As for the armor, well..." Lian Yang said, casually drawing a sword and striking the armor with a "clang"... The sword shattered with a "crash."
