Apocalypse: Hero of Potato Fields-Chapter 363 - 351: Return to Hanover

"Prepare for battle!" Hubert ordered.

On the walls, there were only about four hundred soldiers and eight hundred civilian volunteers.

Everyone else had already evacuated the island.

Those who hadn’t evacuated yet were sent to the rehabilitation center for emergency treatment.

After resting for fifteen minutes, they would be sent back to the battlefield to defend the south wall.

The soldiers passed through the desert, across the outer wall, and were loaded onto vehicles. They got off at the edge of the shelter, then were immediately transported to the rehabilitation center.

Their equipment was sent to the weapon craftsman for maintenance, and doctors at the shelter checked the soldiers’ health.

If they were healthy, they’d take a hot shower and enjoy a hearty meal.

If there were health issues, they’d be sent to the infirmary.

"Are you afraid?" An old soldier with a rifle asked a young volunteer.

"Well, a little..." the young man mumbled. He had heard many stories about aliens but had never actually fought them.

He had only fought zombies a few times.

"Hahaha!"

"What’s so funny?" The young man was sensitive.

"Brother, do you know what you’re holding? It’s the most powerful mass destruction tool humans have ever invented to combat intelligent life.

If the enemy isn’t at least a million strong, we won’t even break a sweat."

The old soldier replied while wiping away a tear.

"This old guy is so right," said another infantryman on the side.

He was regular army, not part of the volunteer force, so he was equipped with a full set of Apocalypse Knight Armor and an AP-4 rifle.

"Just trust your weapon and aim. The only regret is that aliens don’t drop loot and experience points."

"Are you really not afraid of dying?" the young volunteer asked in confusion.

"Not afraid," the soldier answered with a smile.

"I’ve died twice and come back! The first time, a snake bit off half my neck.

The second time, some alien vampires blew me up with a fireball, almost turning me to ashes.

But the boss saved me, healed my wounds, and sent me back to the battlefield."

"Oh my God, that’s terrifying..."

"Don’t fool the kid!"

"Phew... So you’re saying it’s not true?"

"Of course, it’s not true!"

The number of soldiers on the walls was gradually increasing, but they were running out of time.

The ground shook when the enemy ark docked with the shelter.

As the mist cleared, a large group of monsters began pouring into the shelter.

There were humanoid monsters, insect-like monsters, and beast-shaped monsters of all kinds.

Some were injured, some were already dying, but they still charged into battle regardless.

The number of enemies was astonishing.

The enemy’s line stretched about two kilometers long, packed densely with monsters, row after row, with many more rows behind.

At least a hundred thousand.

The entire beast horde rushed towards the steel wall, but climbing the wall was no easy feat.

There were strange canisters on both sides of the wall. Naturally, the monsters stepped right on them...

Some monsters sensed something was wrong and threw the canisters over the wall, but dozens of flaming arrows rained down on them right after.

With a deafening roar, the enemy’s line was consumed by a fire wall, the flames were so fierce that even the steel barriers and those monsters trying to climb the walls began to melt.

In just a few seconds, more than ten thousand lives were lost. Some monsters managed to escape, but most died from burns.

Soldiers couldn’t predict where the enemy would attack from, so they planted mines all across the south wall. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Repairing the wall would cost a fortune, but it was worth it. The think tanks at military headquarters had basically mastered this kind of strategy.

Humans are cunning creatures, and they’ve prepared many other surprises for the enemy.

A large amount of water immediately began pouring over the flames, and the mages joined the battle.

The fire was so intense that the water evaporated before reaching the flames, and then cannons started firing.

The enemy forces were shaken by eight strong explosions and dozens of smaller ones.

The soldiers were also firing mortars, with all the shells being enhanced by magic...

The fire finally died out, but the enemy did not attack; instead, they retreated.

They attempted to evacuate their wounded, but the soldiers fired shells that were not magically enhanced, making it extremely difficult to retreat under such heavy fire.

"What do you think?" Lin Yi asked Azarus.

"It’s Mizar Altus," the former Agona vassal observed through binoculars.

"It must be him. He’s the only vassal who relies so heavily on chimeras; he’s a madman and is said to be trying to reach level 4 skills."

"Could this retreat be a mistake?"

"Impossible. That old guy is very cautious, a little timid even, but his greatest advantage is adaptability.

He’ll definitely assess our strength and then create chimeras specifically targeting our weaknesses."

"Can he quickly create chimeras?"

If this guy can make chimeras that bullet and flame can’t kill, they’ll be in trouble...

"Faster than most, just three to seven days. He may also wait for reinforcements or let the zombies overwhelm us."

"Three days?" Lin Yi chuckled.

That’s too long, this lord is doomed!

The range of the howitzers is enough for the forces of the shelter to attack the vampire’s fortress without leaving the base.
