Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle-Chapter 1109: The Phoenix Phalanx’s Desperate Move

The battlefield outside Ghoul Shelter had become a bit too chaotic at a certain point.

Tyrant Zombies smashed into the front lines with their bodies absorbing artillery fire. The three Zombie Lords, the Bloated Chin, Tongue Reaper, and Raven Horror, carved a path to reach Lysandra’s ranks.

They could not be underestimated at all...

They possessed not just incredible strength but powers that scattered soldiers and damaged mechs.

Alexander stood on the ramparts watching the situation... He had several plans in his mind to protect himself, his Clan, and his shelter...

However, all of those would force him to sacrifice a lot of resources, which he was willing to do.

Still, there was one way for him to rebuild his forces even if they actually failed to protect this shelter. But he needed Roan for that to happen.

"Do not force me, Shane..." Alexander muttered.

Although he actually expected retaliation from Shane, he didn’t expect that it would be this intense. For a single dragon, he’d actually use most of his main army to fight him!

’Is he not afraid of the Overlord Clan and others that might attack him while his main force is away?’

This thought crossed his mind a couple of times.

Nonetheless, he must focus on his situation right now...

[ Alexander: This should be enough! You cowardly Clan Leaders must take this chance and attack them too! If you’re still not going to move, you will regret it. ]

This was his final message. If they decided to just watch, once this matter was over, and he managed to survive, those three Clans would be the first ones he’d destroy once he regained his power.

The Clan Leaders knew this too, so as soon as they realized the situation, they finally made their move...

***

The first one to make a move was the Flying Crews.

Indeed, high above the battlefield, shadows streaked across the sky...

They were the Flying Crews of Skyfang Clan. They had finally arrived with their gliders and huge falcons!

Their numbers were few since Kelly had only dispatched a fraction of her force, but that didn’t matter...

Soon, arrows tipped with poison rained down from the sky, striking Lysandra’s riflemen.

A squad of Warden Units was hit under the aerial barrage...

Although they were made of steel, the sheer force behind those special arrows could not be ignored.

Kelly then replied to Alexander’s message.

[ Kelly: My crews are here... I can’t go all out yet. I need to know the range of those mech units first. ]

Alexander gritted his teeth. Even now, she was holding back. But the sight of Skyfang’s aerial strikes lifted the morale of Ghoul Shelter’s defenders.

Rooarr!

Suddenly, Zombie Lord Raven Horror shrieked as it noticed the Flying Crews above.

For a moment, the battlefield became even more tense... Skyfang riders were circling in formation, while the Zombie Lord was assessing the situation carefully...

It actually stopped attacking the Mech Units and considered attacking the flying crews...

Then, after the flying crews attacked the Warden Units, something unexpected happened, the Raven Horror abandoned the Mech Units and flew to the sky!

They had miscalculated!

Apparently, the Zombie Lord didn’t want any other beings aside from itself in the sky!

The clash was brutal.

One rider was snatched mid‑flight with his glider shredded!

Seeing the unexpected situation, the others adjusted as they retaliated with a spear thrust that pierced Raven Horror’s wing.

The Lord shrieked, spiraling, before regaining altitude!

The sky became a battlefield of its own.

"Ahhh..." Alexander was also speechless since he didn’t expect this to happen.

Well, he didn’t have any solution to fix this problem, so after a moment of thought, he decided to just ignore those Flying Crews.

Instead, he turned his attention to other troops that had arrived...

On the ground, the Ironclad Brotherhood finally marched.

Their heavy infantry advanced in formation...

But their numbers were limited. Nestor had sent only a single battalion, far less than the full might of his clan.

Nonetheless, their troops appeared on the enemy flank, forcing the Warden Units to change their formation...

Bam!

Their shield wall slammed into Lysandra’s Warden Units, halting their advance.

Soon, a close-range battle began!

Blades clashed against steel, as the members of the Ironclad Clan fought bravely against the Warden Units...

Their high level of durability allowed them to withstand even some suppressive fire, pushing forward step by step... However, it could also be seen how careful they were!

They’re not positioning themselves in the line of fire, and they seemed to be more concerned with preserving themselves!

Seeing their success to join the battle, Nestor sent a message to Alexander.

[ Nestor: My Ironclads are here... Three hundred Elixirs within a month. Alright? I will be sending more of my people later... I might attract the Zombie Lords instead if I’m not careful. ]

Alexander frowned. Even now, Nestor was reminding him of the payment...

Three hundred was simply too much. However, he decided not to confirm or reject it for now.

He didn’t want another argument.

In any case, the Ironclads’ presence was undeniable. Their shield wall gave Ghoul Shelter’s defenders breathing room, allowing archers and spellcasters to rain fire from behind.

Furthermore, Nestor’s decision was right... Zombie Lord Bloated Chin ignored his troops and just focused on the Mech Units!

"They’re a lot more useful than I thought. They should’ve made their move from the beginning." Alexander muttered as he saw the battle unfold.

Then, at this point, from the shadows, the agents of Mystic Gate Clan finally revealed themselves!

Concealment cloaks were used as their assassins slipped behind Lysandra’s artillery lines.

Soon, daggers flashed, and throats were slit as the cannon crews collapsed before they could reload!

Prrrttt~

Alarm came off immediately as the back lines were attacked. Lysandra immediately acted!

Thankfully, the number of assassins was few. It must be the reason why they were able to get here undetected...

Indeed, Ylla had sent only a handful of her best, not the full force of her clan. This was their best way to ensure their mission’s success.

In any case, they weren’t tasked to eliminate everyone in the backlines. They just had to mess with their coordination so that the Zombie Lords, the Ghoul Shelter’s forces, and the allied clans could do what they had to do!

Then, Ylla sent a message to Alexander.

[ Ylla: My agents have made their move. Use this opportunity to strike Shane’s forces... ]

Alexander nodded after hearing this. The assassins’ sabotage was effective. Several cannons fell silent, their crews slaughtered, and the bombardment weakened. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Crash!

At the same time, the Tongue Reaper lashed out with its venomous tongues, destroying another Warden Unit!

Thanks to chaos, another assassin slipped past, planting explosives on a Sentinel Mk‑V turret.

Boom!

The detonation sent shrapnel flying, silencing the machine!

At this point, Lysandra was starting to have a headache. There were enemies in the sky, in the shadows, and in the ground.

There was also the bombardment coming from the ramparts of the Ghoul Shelter!

"Hmph... Just hold on! We will destroy them soon!" Lysandra said as she had actually been waiting for Fiona’s signal. However, since there wasn’t any news yet, she had to hold on!

The battlefield had become a nightmare.

Tyrant Zombies smashed into Lysandra’s lines... They may not be as strong as the Zombie Lords but they were hard to kill! They to destroy their heads for a complete victory!

The three Zombie Lords also rampaged unchecked with their acid attacks melting armor, tongues ripping through cannons, and feather attacks coming from the sky from time to time...

Skyfang’s Flying Crews battled Raven Horror in the skies, but it was only for a brief moment since they were easily killed or they had to retreat.

Meanwhile, Ironclad Brotherhood’s shield wall clashed against most of their Warden Units while also being attacked by the Bloated Chin Zombie from time to time!

As for the Mystic Gate assassins, they were probably the ones who had created more damage to them, but it was still within the acceptable range of damage!

Soon, her Aegis Mechs adjusted, focusing fire on the Zombie Lords as the Tyrants were finally dealt with!

It wouldn’t be easy since the Lords had super strength, smaller, faster, and harder to target. However, they were still not invincible!

"Fiona... You have to do this faster." Lysandra muttered while waiting...

Still, she noticed one thing...

The Flying Crews were holding back...

Although the Ironclads held the line, they weren’t being aggressive at all. They were actually maintaining the status quo...

Furthermore, even though Ylla’s assassins sabotaged the artillery and killed a few, they also began to back away!

None of them had committed fully. None of them had risked everything!

"Hmm? What’s happening on their side?" Lysandra mused.

***

Meanwhile, within the shelter, dust rained from the ceiling as another shell struck the barrier!

Then, Roan growled in his chains, as he was actually trying to remove them slowly! At this point, he was already aware that someone was trying to rescue him through the rat that had infiltrated his prison!

Thankfully, his efforts weren’t wasted!
