Chapter 420: Shadow Ghosts


    The Eighth Order Ghost n''s defeat led to the Ghost n losing their momentum for attack. The Ghost n''s forces began to retreat, while the Human soldiers seized the opportunity to pursue, venting the frustration they had umted from the Flying Head Ghosts earlier. For them, this battle was a great victory.


    Since the Ghost n had arrived near Rainless City, they had never experienced such a triumph. They had always been suppressed by the Ghost n and had engaged in multiple defensive battles. If it weren''t for the Ghost n slowing down their assault, Rainless City might have fallen long ago.


    Cheers filled the entire Rainless City, celebrating the hard-earned victory in their first major battle. Meanwhile, they also learned that among the reinforcements aiding them, there was actually a City Lord-level Expert.


    Adding Xia Ji Chu, Rainless City now had two City Lord-level Experts, a luxury not every city could boast.


    The whole city was engulfed in a joyful atmosphere. However, within the Lord''s mansion, the Human Emperors were sitting together, discussing a matter.


    "What? Arge number of... zombies a hundred kilometers away?"


    When Emperor Kong heard this, he looked utterly baffled. He had never imagined that there could be zombies on this  that was stuff out of movies.


    In reality, the Mutants on this were quite different from the zombies in movies, especially after gaining intelligence. They had essentially evolved into a whole new species.


    "To call them zombies is a bit inappropriate. More urately, their appearance is closer to that of the Ghost n. For now, let''s call them... Shadow Ghosts."


    As he spoke, Spy ced a device on the table, projecting a translucent interface in the air. The disy showed a scene a hundred kilometers away from them.


    It was a vige with a gathering of people  or rather, Shadow Ghosts.


    These Shadow Ghosts looked quite simr to Humans in appearance, except their bodies emitted a faint ck mist. Some of them even had ck horns emerging from their foreheads  a characteristic exclusive to the Ghost n!


    "Their appearance seems like they''ve lost consciousness," Eastern Emperor squinted.


    "That''s right. Based on our preliminary analysis, they seem to have been infected by something from the Ghost n, transforming them into this state. Their bodies are shifting toward bing Ghost n-like, but even if they turn intoplete Ghost n members, they won''t have their own consciousness."


    ording to observations from the Red Alert forces, there were many viges resembling this one, filled with simr-looking people  or rather, Shadow Ghosts. A rough calction put their numbers close to 100,000!


    Compared to a city, this wasn''t arge number. However, it was important to remember that in a city, not many people possessedbat abilities.


    Once these 100,000 Shadow Ghosts charged towards Rainless City, it would consume a significant portion of Rainless City''s energy reserves. By the time the main Ghost n forces arrived, they might not have the means to resist.


    The situation was dire.


    "As long as we don''t provoke them, they shouldn''te over, right?" Emperor Yu said with a hint of optimism.


    Spy shook his head and erged the image on the interface. They noticed a few Shadow Ghosts that lookedpletely different from the rest.


    No, these were not Shadow Ghosts; they were genuine Ghost n members!


    Unfortunately, the device couldn''t transmit sound, so they could only watch the Ghost n members'' mouths move, without any idea of what they were saying.


    "The Ghost n member just said that these ''wastes'' are finally of some use. They n to send them overter," Spy conveyed.


    Emperor Kong looked at Spy in astonishment. "You understand lip-reading?"


    It was an extremely specialized skill, not something people just casually learned. Moreover, lip-reading was far from easy to master.


    "I understand a bit," Spy humbly replied.


    In reality, as a spy, lip-reading was a necessary skill when traveling.


    Subsequently, Spy became a trantor. Whatever the Ghost n member said, he repeated.


    The Ghost n member''s intention was clear  this attack on Rainless City had failed, and they had lost an Eighth Order Ghost n member. Dissatisfaction was brewing among them. They believed that using these Shadow Ghosts as cannon fodder would be the best strategy.


    If it were just 100,000, it might not have been a big problem. However, beyond their monitoring range, there were another 200,000 Shadow Ghosts. Altogether, the number of Shadow Ghosts exceeded 300,000.


    If this massive horde of Shadow Ghosts stormed Rainless City, it would consume a significant portion of the city''s energy reserves. When the Ghost n''s main forces arrived, Rainless City might not be able to withstand the assault.


    The situation was extremely grim.


    "Should we deploy the main cannons of the warships?" White Emperor spoke up. Thanks to the medical attention from the Red Alert medics, he had recovered considerably from his earlier condition. Only the bruises around his eyes remained, still visible.


    The main cannons of the warships were theirst resort. After all, everyone knew the terrifying power of these cannons. A single shot could probably destroy a small city.


    In terms of sheer power, the main cannons of the warships could rival nuclear bombs.


    Of course, since they were main cannons, they couldn''t be used casually. Each shot would consume a substantial amount of the warship''s energy. If fired continuously, the warship would be reduced to scrap metal.


    "They''re people from Yan Yun Star. It''s not worth it for us to do that," Eastern Emperor differentiated clearly. They hade to this to conquer Yan Yun Star. In other words, they were invaders.


    To help the invaded protect the invaders, what would that be?


    "This is our base. ording to the Ghost n''s habits, they won''t spare any Humans. That means our situation here is the same as the Yan Yun Star people''s. Under these circumstances, helping them would also be helping ourselves," Emperor Yu exined.


    The three Emperors turned their gazes to Emperor Kong. His opinion was crucial.


    Emperor Kong hesitated. Frankly, he wasn''t very willing to go all out to assist Rainless City against the Ghost n. He cared more about the lives of his own subordinates!


    However, Emperor Yu''s reasoning made sense. Regardless of where they went, they were bound to encounter the Ghost n. Would they keep changing locations every time?


    No matter where they went, they were enemies with the Ghost n. They couldn''t reverse the roles and help the Ghost n against the Humans. That was something they couldn''t do.


    "I''ve decided to help Rainless City!"


    With a single sentence, Emperor Kong set the direction for the actions of the Earth''s people.


    Although they were helping Rainless City, the primary fighting force would still be the city''s soldiers. They would merely provide some auxiliary support. The majority of the fighters relied on long-range attacks using weapons and wouldn''t engage in meleebat with the Ghost n.


    Spy remained silent. In truth, he didn''t agree with this decision. However, before parting ways, Commander had said that all actions here were to be carried out ording to Kong''s orders, unless it was a suicidalmand.


    To deal with the Ghost n, in Spy''s eyes, wasn''t suicidal.


    Soon, acting as Xia Ji Chu, Spy announced that the Ghost n was about to attack and that this time they were bringing a massive number of cannon fodders  the Shadow Ghosts!


    The news about the Shadow Ghosts spread quickly among the people of Rainless City. Their joy vanished, and the battle thaty ahead would determine the life or death of Rainless City!
