Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Intense Battle With The Resentful Undead

The dried corpses were shriveled.

He wondered how long they had been dead.

They looked horrifying.

However, although Zong Shen felt a little uncomfortable, as a Lord, he had to take the lead.

These undeads’ movements were slow.

As long as he was careful, there shouldn’t be any problems.

Zong Shen took the lead and quickly walked to the dried corpse holding the short sword. He raised the sharp German sword.

“Second Segment Cleave!”

Zong Shen used the skill he had just learned.

In the blink of an eye, he slashed twice.

It struck the leather armor of the undead.

Two sword scars instantly appeared.

[-28]

[-28]

“F*ck!”

Zong Shen exclaimed.

Even though the leather armor on the undead’s body was tattered, its defensive capabilities were truly formidable.

His basic Cleave Damage was 46.37, while his Level 1 Second Segment Cleave Damage increased it by 1.3 times.

In other words, each slash dealt 60 damage.

However, the actual damage was only 28 points.

This meant that the upper body defense of the deceased was as high as 32 points.

Zong Shen took two steps back and focused his attention on the specific attributes of this undead with short sword.

[Resentful Undead Level 8]

[Race: Undead]

[Cleave Damage: 21 ~ 27]

[Health Points: 394/450]

[Armor: 32]

[Skills: Flesh Eater (Devouring Corpses to recover Health Points), Wave of the Undead (Use Short Sword to attack, with 10 points of chaotic damage that ignores defenses of armor)]

(Its head and bare limbs are not protected by armor. You can deal full damage to these areas.)

This undead had 450 Health Points, plus 32 Armor Points, and was a standard tank-type monster.

Fortunately, other than high defense, there was nothing special.

Zong Shen started to wander around.

The marble columns became an obstacle to these undead.

Zong Shen sent a wave of undead circling around the pillar.

Then, he slashed at the head of the undead.

[-46]

As expected, it dealt full damage. Unfortunately, there was no additional damage from the second segment cleave skill.

However, the damage was still considerable.

However, before Zong Shen could strike a second time, the short sword in the undead’s hand flashed with black light and slashed at him!

It was too fast for him to dodge.

This was its skill, the effect of the Wave of the Undead.

Zong Shen dodged it from his vital parts.

He watched helplessly as the short sword slashed the tough Wolfskin Armor, creating a small hole.

[-6]

[-10]

“It’s alright!”

Zong Shen took the blow head-on and retreated several steps. He reached out and touched the sword mark on his wolf skin armor.

The Undead’s attack could only barely break through the defense. As for the 10 points of damage, it was the Chaos damage from the Wave of the Undead.

This time, Zong Shen knew what was going on.

He began to launch continuous attacks.

Using the marble pillars as cover, he continued to attack the dried corpse’s weak spots.

Like this, he dealt seven strikes!

The dried corpse in front of him finally only had a trace of blood left.

In just one more strike, it would be completely destroyed.

At the same time, Zong Shen also received a notification from the Wolf Cavalry soldiers.

[Your subordinate, the Wolf Cavalry, has killed the Resentful Undead Level 9, you will receive half of the EXP.]

[Your subordinate, the Wolf Cavalry, has killed the Resentful Undead Level 6, you will receive half of the EXP.]

[Your subordinate, the Wolf Cavalry, has killed the Resentful Undead Level 8, you will receive half of the EXP.]

…

[Experience Points obtained (150 × 0.5 = 75)]

[Experience Points obtained (110 × 0.5 = 55)]

[Experience Points obtained (130 × 0.5 = 65)]

…

The three Wolf Cavalry soldiers started their first battle one after another, completing their first kill.

Currently, only he and Iron Pole had yet to kill their opponents.

The three Wolf Cavalry Soldiers seemed to be able to deal with these dried corpses with ease.

Coupled with the giant wolf’s bite, it was easy to kill an undead.

Zong Shen gripped the hilt of the sword in his hand. Just as he was about to deliver the final blow to the undead in front of him, a green light suddenly flashed under his feet.

The stone floor beneath him was directly pushed open.

Then, a thorny vine covered with thorns grew out from below and instantly wrapped around Zong Shen’s calf.

It bound him in place.

At the same time, the thorns were trying to stab into Zong Shen’s calf.

Fortunately, the defense ability of the [Emerald Greaves] was extraordinary.

“Damn it!”

Zong Shen raised his sword and was about to cut off the vines under his feet. At this time, Colby’s anxious shout came from not far away.

“Lord, be careful!”

Swish!

Then, there was the sound of something breaking through the air. Colby threw a short spear, which flew past his face and behind him.

Bang!

A muffled sound was heard.

Zong Shen abruptly turned around and saw that the short spear had collided with a green energy arrow in mid-air, shattering it into pieces. The short spear that Colby had thrown had also bent and deformed, falling to the ground.

Behind him was an undead who was holding a magic staff and wearing a tattered priest robe. He was chanting silently.

He turned his head and raised his sword to cut the thorns beneath his feet.

The undead with short sword staggered over!

Zong Shen raised his leg and kicked it to the ground. Then, holding the sword with both hands, he stabbed it viciously in the head.

[-12]

[-26]

This undead turned into a ray of white light and disappeared, leaving behind two or three smaller balls of light. This was the reward he had dropped.

[Killed Level 8 Resentful Undead]

[Received 130 experience points]

…

Zong Shen did not have time to check the other rewards.

He turned around and charged towards the priest undead behind him.

At this moment, Iron Pole finally finished off an undead.

However, it was not as easy for him as the three Wolf Cavalry soldiers and Zong Shen.

He lost a quarter of his Health Points.

At this moment, Iron Pole was the closest to Zong Shen.

After seeing that Zong Shen was preparing to deal with the priest undead, he crawled into the shadows and sneaked over. His speed was even faster than Zong Shen’s.

The priest undead was chanting silently, preparing to release powerful magic.

However, Iron Pole obviously wouldn’t let it do as it wished.

The dagger in his hand turned into a silvery-white ray of light and slashed across the priest’s throat.

This was also its weak spot that was unprotected by any armor.

[-37]

A damage value floated above its head.

At the same time, thorns suddenly grew out of the body of this priest undead. They were like sharp thorns, piercing through and disappearing.

This was Thorn Counter-Armour!

“Oh!”

Iron Pole let out a groan and hid back into the shadows.

[-4]

A damage number floated above his head.

It seemed like this priest was harder to deal with than the undead with short sword.

It had all sorts of tricks up its sleeve, and was actually able to counterattack.

“Iron Pole, don’t be rash. Listen to my orders.”

By now, the three Wolf Cavalry soldiers had already finished off the second wave of dried corpses.

A white light flashed on Zong Shen’s body, and his Health Points instantly recovered. He had leveled up!

The number of these [Resentful Undead] gradually decreased.

It did not take long for the three Wolf Cavalry Soldiers to arrive and provide reinforcements.

However, the three wolf cavalry soldiers had also sustained some injuries during the fight.

It made Zong Shen’s heart ache.

These warriors were the most precious treasures he had gained in this world.
